The housing 100 includes a handle for measuring the oil content and the brightness of the face in a gripped state by hand.

The oil and water measurement sensor 200 is installed on the front of the housing, and is formed by protruding a metallic contact terminal for sensing oil and moisture. It is configured to generate an electrical change upon skin contact.

That is, two terminals are formed to protrude and conduct electricity constant to the skin through both terminals. In this case, it is installed to grasp the amount of moisture present in the skin by the amount of impedance change between the terminals.

The face dimming device 300 is installed in the front of the housing, the illumination provided to check the brightness of the face is made of LED or UV LED.

The brightness measuring unit 400 captures the face in the state where the face dimmer is illuminated and analyzes the intensity, amplitude, or light intensity of the light through HSV model analysis to identify the spots on the face.

The controller 500 detects the oil state and the brightness state of the face from the oil water measurement sensor and the brightness measurement unit, and determines whether the reference range is below the reference range, the reference range, or the reference range based on the previously input reference data.

The vibration means 600 is inserted into the housing and mounted therein, and includes a component that causes vibration, and outputs strong vibrations, normal vibrations, and weak vibrations according to the control signal of the control unit 500, and according to the vibration intensity. The user may be informed that there is a problem with the skin.

The power switch 700 is connected to the constituent means and the power supply means of the present invention to supply power to the constituent means so that the device is mounted.

Hereinafter, the assembly method of the present invention will be described.

The present invention comprises a housing 100 including a handle.

And, the front surface of the housing 100 is provided with constituent means for grasping the oil and moisture sensing and brightness, in the present invention is made of a water and moisture sensor, LED, and the brightness measuring unit.

In addition, a control unit 500 is installed inside the housing 100, and the control unit 500 includes an oil and moisture sensor 200, a face dimming device 300, and a brightness measuring unit 400. ) And receives data sensed by the sensors, and receives the brightness data of the face from the brightness measuring unit 400.

Since the control unit 500 includes data related to oil content and brightness in advance, an appropriate output may be performed in comparison with the sensing data input thereafter.

In addition, the housing includes a vibration means, and the vibration means is configured to vibrate appropriately according to the control signal of the controller.

Hereinafter will be described the effect of the present invention.

The oil and moisture sensor 200 of the present invention is for measuring the oil and moisture of the skin. If the oil and moisture state is 0 to 80 mg / m ^{2, the} dry skin is, and if the oil and moisture state is 80 to 180 mg / m ^2, it is neutral skin. , 180-300mg / m ² is considered oily skin.

To this end, the oil control and moisture content is 0 - is 80mg / m ² when dry skin, oil and moisture conditions are 80 -180mg / m ² normal skin, 180 - is 300mg / m ² is set to oily skin.

In other words, dry skin has a small amount of sebum secretion, so the skin surface is dry and glossy, and the skin texture is very thin and delicate.In particular, dry skin has less moisture and oil, so keratin is white and externally rough and glossy. see.

Such dry skin is caused by internal factors, namely, lack of moisture in the dermis, resulting in disruption of collagen and elastin production along with fibroblast damage. In addition, the skin tissue is thin and delicate, so capillaries appear on the surface of the skin. Therefore, erythema occurs when the skin comes into contact with environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, cold, and heat.

Therefore, when determined to be dry skin, by outputting a strong vibration to induce the use of a lot of oily cosmetics to sufficiently protect the skin.

The HSV model applied to the brightness measuring unit 400 of the present invention is a color model displaying colors in three forms of color (Hue), saturation, and contrast in the graphic, where the intensity of light Brightness, which represents amplitude or amplitude, is 'contrast' as the V data, the hue representing the dominant wavelength of light is H data, and the purity or bandwidth of the light. Saturation representing) is extracted as S data as 'saturation'.

The present invention collects the data of the brightness measuring unit 400, and determines whether the current skin tone is lighter than the reference or darker than the reference based on the brightness reference data previously input to the control unit 500, if it is darker than the reference It outputs vibration, and if it is brighter than the standard, it outputs normal vibration and if it is within the standard range, it outputs weak vibration.

On the other hand, the vibration means 600 applied to the present invention is configured to output the vibration of the appropriate intensity according to the control signal of the control unit, the left and right vibration type and the vertical vibration type can be applied, Figure 3 is an embodiment of the present invention As a cross-sectional view of an embodiment of the left and right oscillating vibration means 610 vibrating from side to side, as shown, a flat or coin type vibration motor 601 is centered around the shaft 631 with respect to the stator 620. The rotor 610 is rotatably provided, and the housing 630 for accommodating the rotor 610 and the stator 620 therein.

* When power is applied from the outside through the brush 625 mounted on the lower substrate 21 of the stator 620, current of different polarity is induced to the pair of brushes 625, and the brush 625 Since the upper end of the rotor 610 is in elastic contact with the commutator 615 provided on the lower surface of the upper base 611 of the rotor 610, the rotor 610 through the commutator 615 in contact with the brush 625 Power is supplied to the winding coil 612 provided in the).

In addition, the rotor 610 may be formed by the interaction between the electric field by the flow direction of the current induced in the winding

coils

612 and 613 and the magnetic field by the magnet 622 provided with the stator 620. 31) and rotates in one direction.

At this time, since the contact polarity between the brush 625 and the segment of the commutator 615 in contact with the rotor 610 changes every time the rotor 610 rotates, the rotor 610 with the center of gravity is unchanged. Rotating to cause an incoming signal vibration.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 614 denotes an insulator surrounding the winding coil and the weight body, 632 denotes a bearing member, and 635 denotes a bracket for sealing an open lower portion of the housing 630.

The vibration motor 601 uses a method of obtaining mechanical vibration by rotating the rotor 610 having an eccentrically arranged weight when the external power supply, the rotational force of the rotor 610 is mostly brush 625 ) And a commutator or brush-type motor structure for supplying current to the coil of the rotor 610 through a commutation action through the contact between the commutator and the commutator 615.

Meanwhile, as a second embodiment of the present invention, a vertical vibrator may be applied. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a vertical vibrator for generating a vertical vibration in a vertical direction with a simple structure. As illustrated, the vertical vibrator 603 is shown. The case 681 has a predetermined internal space, and a lower plate 683 is mounted on a lower surface thereof, and a magnet circuit 682, a lower magnet 681 and a magnet 682 are vertically magnetized. Between the casing 681 and the yoke 684 to vibrate up and down a vibrating body including a yoke 684 mounted with a magnet 683 and a weight 685 mounted to the yoke 684 so as to form a shape. It is composed of a spring member 686 to be mounted and a vibration generating coil 687 provided on the upper surface of the bracket 688 for sealing the lower portion of the casing 681.

The operation of the vertical vibrator 603 having such a configuration is generated in a magnetic circuit composed of the magnet 682, the lower plate 683, and the yoke 684 when power is supplied to the vibration generating coil 687. The vibrating body including the magnet 682, the lower plate 683, the yoke 684, and the weight 685 is formed by the interaction between the magnetic field and the electric field generated by the vibration generating coil 687. Since it is suspended in the casing 681 via the medium, it vibrates up and down.

As a result, the present invention compares the reference value pre-input to the control unit based on the data of the oil sensor and the brightness measurement unit, and outputs a strong vibration when it is out of the reference range, and outputs a weak vibration when it is within the reference range. It allows you to identify indirectly.

That is, the greater the degree of deviation outside the reference range, the stronger the vibration output, the closer to the reference range, the weaker the output of the vibration can be more easily grasp their skin condition only by vibration.
