以下、本発明の実施形態について図面を参照して詳細に説明する。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an example of a hair growth regulating
第１実施形態の発毛調節光照射装置３０は、図１（Ａ）に示すように、皮膚の体毛の成長を調節するための光を発する光源部１と、光源部１を発光させる電源部２と、光源部１及び電源部２を内部に設け、皮膚３に接触して回転する回転体４と、電源部２から光源部１へ電力供給して光源部１を発光させ、回転体４の回転中に皮膚３に光を照射する発光制御部５と、回転体４を回転支持する支持機構部６と、を備えている。
As shown in FIG. 1A, a hair growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 of the first embodiment includes a light source unit 1 that emits light for adjusting the growth of body hair on the skin, and a power source unit that causes the light source unit 1 to emit light. 2, a light source unit 1 and a power source unit 2 provided therein, a rotating body 4 that rotates in contact with the skin 3, and a power source 2 supplies power to the light source unit 1 to cause the light source unit 1 to emit light. The light emission control part 5 which irradiates light to the skin 3 during rotation of this, and the support mechanism part 6 which rotates and supports the rotary body 4 are provided.
光源部１は、例えばキセノンランプ等からなる。光源部１は、後述する回転体４の内部に回転体４の長手方向に沿って設けられている。かかる光源部１は、配線Ｓ１で接続される電源部２からの電力供給を受けて発光する。本実施形態では、光源部１は常時発光するものとする。光源部１で発せられる光は、可視光から近赤外光までの光とされ、体毛の成長を抑制又は促進する作用を有する。
The light source unit 1 includes, for example, a xenon lamp. The light source unit 1 is provided along the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 4 inside a rotating body 4 described later. The light source unit 1 emits light upon receiving power supply from the power source unit 2 connected by the wiring S1. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the light source unit 1 always emits light. The light emitted from the light source unit 1 is light from visible light to near-infrared light, and has an action of suppressing or promoting hair growth.
電源部２は、例えば乾電池或いは二次電池等からなり、光源部１に電力を供給する。電源部２は、光源部１と同じく回転体４の内部に設けられ、上述のように光源部１に配線Ｓ１で接続されている。ただし、電源部２の設置場所は、回転体４の内部に限定されない。例えば、電源部２は、後述の取っ手９に設けたり、発毛調節光照射装置３０の外部に設けてもよい。
The power supply unit 2 is made of, for example, a dry battery or a secondary battery, and supplies power to the light source unit 1. The power supply unit 2 is provided inside the rotator 4 in the same manner as the light source unit 1, and is connected to the light source unit 1 by the wiring S1 as described above. However, the installation location of the power supply unit 2 is not limited to the inside of the rotating body 4. For example, the power supply unit 2 may be provided on the handle 9 described later or provided outside the hair growth adjusting light irradiation device 30.
回転体４は、円柱形状をなすローラ形状として形成されている。回転体４は、内部に設けた光源部１で発せられた光を透過させる光透過部材からなる。例えば、回転体４は、透明なプラスチック樹脂から形成される。
The rotating body 4 is formed as a roller having a cylindrical shape. The rotating body 4 is made of a light transmitting member that transmits light emitted from the light source unit 1 provided inside. For example, the rotating body 4 is formed from a transparent plastic resin.
発光制御部５は、図示を省略するオンオフスイッチをオンすることで電源部２から光源部１へ電力供給して光源部１を発光させる。発光制御部５としては、例えばゴニオメーターや加速度センサー等が使用される。発光制御部５は、回転体４の回転を検出した時或いは回転体４の傾斜を感知した時に、電源部２から光源部１へ電力供給して光源部１を自動的に発光させるようにしてもよい。こうすることで、光源部１を発光させるためのオンオフスイッチが不要となる。回転体４の傾斜を感知するには、例えば傾斜角度計を使用することができる。
The light emission control unit 5 supplies power from the power source unit 2 to the light source unit 1 to turn on the light source unit 1 by turning on an on / off switch (not shown). As the light emission control unit 5, for example, a goniometer, an acceleration sensor, or the like is used. When the rotation of the rotating body 4 is detected or when the inclination of the rotating body 4 is detected, the light emission control unit 5 supplies power from the power source unit 2 to the light source unit 1 so that the light source unit 1 automatically emits light. Also good. By doing so, an on / off switch for causing the light source unit 1 to emit light becomes unnecessary. In order to sense the inclination of the rotating body 4, for example, an inclination angle meter can be used.
支持機構部６は、回転体４を回転支持する支持軸７と、支持軸７の両端に取り付けられる支持軸保持アーム８と、支持軸保持アーム８に連結される取っ手９とからなる。
The support mechanism unit 6 includes a support shaft 7 that rotatably supports the rotating body 4, support shaft holding arms 8 that are attached to both ends of the support shaft 7, and a handle 9 that is connected to the support shaft holding arm 8.
支持軸７は、回転体４の中心に挿入され、回転体４を回転可能に支持する。支持軸７は、後述の軸受け２０に固定されている。支持軸７には、光源部１が固定されている。そのため、光源部１から照射される光の照射方向が取っ手９に対して固定されるような構成となっている。ここで、支持軸７は、回転体４と共に回転する構成としてもよい。この場合には、光源部１は、支持軸７に固定して支持軸７と共に連れ回って回転する構成ではなく、支持軸７にぶら下がるように取り付けられている構成とする。つまり、光源部１は、支持軸７に対して回転可能に取り付けられている構成とする。このような構成では、光源部１から照射される光の照射方向は、常に重力の方向となる。また、この構成に対して、光源部１を取っ手９に対して固定する機構を設けてもよい。これにより、光源部１から照射される光の照射方向が取っ手９に対して固定される。
The support shaft 7 is inserted into the center of the rotator 4 and supports the rotator 4 in a rotatable manner. The support shaft 7 is fixed to a bearing 20 described later. The light source unit 1 is fixed to the support shaft 7. For this reason, the irradiation direction of light emitted from the light source unit 1 is fixed to the handle 9. Here, the support shaft 7 may be configured to rotate together with the rotating body 4. In this case, the light source unit 1 is not configured to be fixed to the support shaft 7 and rotated with the support shaft 7, but to be configured to be suspended from the support shaft 7. That is, the light source unit 1 is configured to be rotatably attached to the support shaft 7. In such a configuration, the irradiation direction of the light irradiated from the light source unit 1 is always the direction of gravity. Moreover, you may provide the mechanism which fixes the light source part 1 with respect to the handle 9 with respect to this structure. Thereby, the irradiation direction of the light irradiated from the light source unit 1 is fixed to the handle 9.
支持軸保持アーム８は、回転体４の長手方向における両端面４ａ、４ｂから突出する支持軸７に結合する支持アーム８Ａ、８Ｂと、これら支持アーム８Ａ、８Ｂを連結する連結アーム８Ｃとからなり、略コの字状として形成されている。支持アーム８Ａ、８Ｂと支持軸７の両端部（回転体４の両端面４ａ、４ｂから突出している部分）には、前記支持軸７を支持するための軸受け２０が設けられている。
The support shaft holding arm 8 includes support arms 8A and 8B coupled to the support shaft 7 protruding from both end faces 4a and 4b in the longitudinal direction of the rotating body 4, and a connecting arm 8C that couples the support arms 8A and 8B. It is formed as a substantially U-shape. Bearings 20 for supporting the support shaft 7 are provided at both ends of the support arms 8A and 8B and the support shaft 7 (portions protruding from both end faces 4a and 4b of the rotating body 4).
取っ手９は、連結アーム８Ｃの長手方向中心位置に連結アーム８Ｃに対して略垂直に取り付けられている。かかる取っ手９は、例えば手に握り易いように丸棒として形成されている。
The handle 9 is attached substantially vertically to the connecting arm 8C at the longitudinal center position of the connecting arm 8C. For example, the handle 9 is formed as a round bar so as to be easily grasped by the hand.
図１（Ａ）では、光源部１を支持軸７の外周面の一部に対してのみ取り付ける構造とした。しかしながら、図１（Ｂ）に示すように、支持軸７の外周面を覆うように光源部１を取り付けてもよい。或いは、図１（Ｃ）に示すように、長方形状をなす複数の光源部１を支持軸７の外周面に所定間隔を置いて貼り付けてもよい。これら図１（Ｂ）及び図１（Ｃ）の場合においても、回転体４、支持軸７、光源部１、軸受け２０について図１（Ａ）と同様に様々な構成を採用することができるが、支持軸７の全外周面或いはほぼ全外周面から光が照射されるようになっているため、支持軸７を回転部４と共に回転するようにし、光源部１を支持軸７に固定して支持軸７と共に回転させる構成としてもよい。図１（Ｂ）及び図１（Ｃ）の構成を有する発毛調節光照射装置３０では、光の照射方向が取っ手９の回転体４に対する位置（傾き等）に影響されず、処理対象である皮膚３に向かう照射光が常に存在するため、使用者は取っ手９の回転体４に対する位置を調整する必要がなく、発毛調節光照射装置３０の使い勝手が良い。
In FIG. 1A, the light source unit 1 is attached to only a part of the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 7. However, as illustrated in FIG. 1B, the light source unit 1 may be attached so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 7. Alternatively, as illustrated in FIG. 1C, a plurality of light source portions 1 having a rectangular shape may be attached to the outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 7 at a predetermined interval. 1B and 1C, various configurations can be adopted for the rotating body 4, the support shaft 7, the light source unit 1, and the bearing 20 as in FIG. 1A. Since light is irradiated from the entire outer peripheral surface or almost the entire outer peripheral surface of the support shaft 7, the support shaft 7 is rotated together with the rotating unit 4, and the light source unit 1 is fixed to the support shaft 7. It is good also as a structure rotated with the support shaft 7. FIG. In the hair-growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 having the configuration shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the irradiation direction of light is not affected by the position (tilt or the like) of the handle 9 with respect to the rotating body 4 and is a processing target. Since there is always irradiation light toward the skin 3, the user does not need to adjust the position of the handle 9 relative to the rotating body 4, and the hair growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 is easy to use.
以上のように構成された発毛調節光照射装置３０を用いて脱毛処理を行うには、使用者は取っ手９を握り、回転体４のローラ表面４ｃを皮膚３に押し当てる。次に、オンオフスイッチをオンする。或いは、取っ手９を動かして回転体４を皮膚３の上で転がす。回転体４を皮膚３に押し当てる前にオンオフスイッチをオンしてもよい。
In order to perform the hair removal process using the hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30 configured as described above, the user holds the handle 9 and presses the roller surface 4c of the rotating body 4 against the skin 3. Next, the on / off switch is turned on. Alternatively, the handle 9 is moved to roll the rotating body 4 on the skin 3. The on / off switch may be turned on before the rotating body 4 is pressed against the skin 3.
オンオフスイッチがオンされると、電源部２から光源部１に電力供給される。或いは、回転体４の回転（支持軸７の回転でもよい）を発光制御部５が検知すると、電源部２から光源部１に電力供給される。光源部１は、電源部２から供給された電力によって発光する。光源部１は、オンオフスイッチのオン状態で常時点灯し、或いは回転体４が回転している間は常時発光し続ける。
When the on / off switch is turned on, power is supplied from the power supply unit 2 to the light source unit 1. Alternatively, when the light emission control unit 5 detects the rotation of the rotating body 4 (or the rotation of the support shaft 7), power is supplied from the power source unit 2 to the light source unit 1. The light source unit 1 emits light by the power supplied from the power source unit 2. The light source unit 1 is always lit when the on / off switch is in the on state, or continuously emits light while the rotating body 4 is rotating.
光源部１で発光した光は、光透過部材からなる回転体４を透過して皮膚３に照射される。そして、皮膚３に生える体毛は、この光の作用により成長が抑制されることになる。このとき、皮膚３は、光の他に回転体４からの加圧による刺激を受けるため、皮膚組織が活性化されて光に対する反応性が高まる。したがって、本実施形態の発毛調節光照射装置３０によれば、より高い抑毛効果が奏される。
The light emitted from the light source unit 1 passes through the rotating body 4 made of a light transmitting member and is irradiated onto the skin 3. And the growth of the hair that grows on the skin 3 is suppressed by the action of this light. At this time, since the skin 3 receives a stimulus by pressurization from the rotating body 4 in addition to the light, the skin tissue is activated and the reactivity to the light is increased. Therefore, according to the hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30 of the present embodiment, a higher hair suppression effect is achieved.
本実施形態の発毛調節光照射装置３０によれば、光源部１及び電源部２を内部に設けた回転体４を回転させながら皮膚３に光を照射する発光制御部５を備えているので、回転体４を回転させながら皮膚３に光を照射することができると共に、回転体４の回転により連続して光を皮膚３に照射することができる。従って、１回１回照射の度に皮膚３から装置本体を離すことなく連続照射することができると共に、均一照射によって照射部位のムラを無くすことができる。従来では、一度皮膚（肌）から装置本体を離して光を照射することによって起こる照射部位の不均一による処置ばらつきが起こるが、本実施形態に係る発毛調節光照射装置３０ではこの課題を解決することができる。
According to the hair-growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 of the present embodiment, the light emission control unit 5 that irradiates the skin 3 with light while rotating the rotating body 4 provided with the light source unit 1 and the power source unit 2 is provided. The skin 3 can be irradiated with light while rotating the rotating body 4, and the skin 3 can be continuously irradiated with the rotation of the rotating body 4. Accordingly, it is possible to continuously irradiate the apparatus body without separating the apparatus main body from the skin 3 every time irradiation is performed once, and it is possible to eliminate unevenness of the irradiated portion by uniform irradiation. Conventionally, treatment variation due to non-uniformity of the irradiation site caused by irradiating light once the device body is once separated from the skin (skin) occurs, but the hair growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 according to the present embodiment solves this problem. can do.

According to the hair-growth adjusting light irradiation device 30 of the present embodiment, the rotating body 4 is configured by the light transmitting member that transmits light. Therefore, the light emitted from the light source unit 1 provided in the rotating body 4 is emitted from the rotating body 4. The skin 3 can be irradiated through.
本実施形態の発毛調節光照射装置３０によれば、光源部１で発光する光を可視光から近赤外光までの光とするので、幅の広い光源を使用することができる。さらに、光源の波長を適宜選択することにより、体毛の成長を抑制又は促進させることができる。例えば、可視光～近赤外領域を用いて体毛の成長を抑制したり、近赤外光を用いて体毛の成長を促進させたりできる。体毛の成長を抑制又は促進させる波長は一義的に決まるものではなく、上記の波長は一例を示しているに過ぎない。
According to the hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30 of the present embodiment, since the light emitted from the light source unit 1 is light from visible light to near infrared light, a wide light source can be used. Furthermore, the growth of body hair can be suppressed or promoted by appropriately selecting the wavelength of the light source. For example, the growth of body hair can be suppressed using the visible light to near infrared region, or the growth of hair can be promoted using near infrared light. The wavelength that suppresses or promotes the growth of body hair is not uniquely determined, and the above wavelength is merely an example.
本発明の発毛調節光照射装置３０によれば、回転体４を回転させるだけで光源部１を発光させ、また、回転体４の回転を停止することで光源部１の発光をストップさせるようにした場合は、照射スイッチをその都度オンオフさせる必要が無くなる。
According to the hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30 of the present invention, the light source unit 1 emits light only by rotating the rotating body 4, and the light emission of the light source unit 1 is stopped by stopping the rotation of the rotating body 4. In this case, it is not necessary to turn on / off the irradiation switch each time.

The hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30F according to the second embodiment is not shaped to grip the rod-like handle 9 as shown in the first embodiment, but instead of the handle 9, the egg is roughly shaped as shown in FIG. The grip portion 16 has a half-shaped shape (a so-called mouse shape that is grasped and used so as to be covered with a palm from another viewpoint). Inside the gripping part 16, a rotating body 4 incorporating the light source part 1 and the power supply part 2 is rotatably provided. The rotating body 4 rotates around a support shaft 7 attached to the shaft core. Here, it is assumed that the gripping portion 16 is formed of a light shielding member that does not transmit light.

When the pressure detection unit 11 detects that the pressure obtained from the pressure sensor 10 is a predetermined pressure, the pressure detection unit 11 supplies power from the power supply unit 2 to the light source unit 1 to cause the light source unit 1 to emit light.
光源部１で発光した光は、把持部１６の底部に形成された矩形状をなす開口部１７から皮膚３に向けて照射される。その結果、皮膚３に生える体毛は、この光の作用により成長が抑制されることになる。このとき、皮膚３は、回転体４からの加圧による刺激を受けるため、皮膚組織が活性化されて光に対する反応性が高まる。したがって、本実施形態の発毛調節光照射装置３０Ｆによれば、より高い抑毛効果が奏される。
The light emitted from the light source unit 1 is irradiated toward the skin 3 from a rectangular opening 17 formed at the bottom of the grip 16.

At this time, the skin 3 is stimulated by the pressurization from the rotating body 4, so that the skin tissue is activated and the reactivity to light is increased. Therefore, according to the hair growth regulating light irradiation device 30F of the present embodiment, a higher hair suppression effect is achieved.
