Description

Facial steam equipment

The present invention relates to a facial steam apparatus, and more particularly to a facial steam apparatus having a high thermal efficiency for steam generation through a porous structure.

In general, it is recommended to remove not only the skin but also the wastes in the pores of the skin for the beauty of the skin, and various face-washing products have been developed to more effectively remove the wastes in the pores.

In addition, the skin is a physical activity that opens the pores at a warm temperature, closes the pores at a cold temperature, this phenomenon is used as a method for more effective removal of waste in the pores.

For example, a method of inducing pores to be opened through hot water, removing the pores and skin wastes through face wash, and then closing the pores using cold water again.

Recently, facial steam devices have been developed to inject steam directly to the facial skin so that the above process can be made more easily and comfortably.

On the other hand, a facial steam apparatus using a general heating heater generates steam by directly heating water to 100 degrees, so that a high electric charge is generated and a user may be burned due to the high steam temperature. As a large amount of high-temperature steam is injected from the beginning of use, there is a problem that can damage the skin.

Accordingly, a facial steam apparatus has been developed that can effectively generate steam at low power by using an ultrasonic vibrator, such as Korean Patent No. 10-0767814 "Face Functional Steam Beauty Machine," but it does not boil water through the ultrasonic vibrator. The artificially generated steam using vibration has a problem that the water particles are thick and the temperature of the water particles (steam) is low.

That is, the coarse water particles are difficult to effectively penetrate (supply) into the skin, and the low water particles (steam) have a problem of shrinking pores.

Accordingly, when supplying steam through the ultrasonic vibrator requires a configuration for increasing the temperature of the steam to prevent the pores shrink, there was a problem that takes more energy than when directly heating the water.

That is, the energy efficiency of the process of generating steam through the ultrasonic vibration is high, but as the energy efficiency of the additional configuration to increase the temperature of the steam having a low temperature, as a result, there was a problem that more energy is required as a result.

In addition, in order to increase the temperature of the steam by using the heated air, the air must be heated and supplied at a temperature higher than the required temperature of the steam, but if the heated air is not sufficiently mixed with the steam, the air has a high temperature. Due to the overheating of the skin, there is a problem that the moisture of the skin can be further reduced due to the heated air.

In particular, water particles of steam generated by ultrasonic vibrations having coarse particles compared to direct heating steam may be supplied to the face without being sufficiently mixed with the heated air, and the coarse water particles may not sufficiently infiltrate moisture into the skin. There was a problem that the skin can be further dried by the heated air in the non-state.

In addition, since the control of the amount of steam and temperature is provided only in a uniform form, there is a need for a configuration for adjusting the amount of steam and temperature according to the use environment or the user's skin temperature.

And a steam generator (4) having a porous structure for heating the water supplied through the pump (simply shown, 2) and the pump (2) for supplying to the following steam generator (schematically, 4) and And a discharge unit 5 extending from the steam generator 4 for discharging the steam generated by heating to the outside.

In addition, the steam generating part 4 and the discharge part 5 may be formed integrally, or may be installed through the concave face guide 14.

In addition, the face guide 14 isolates the steam from the external environment so that the steam discharged by the discharge unit 5 can be in contact with the user's skin for a long time.

In addition, the inside of the face guide 14 may further include a face temperature sensor 6 for measuring the user's face skin temperature or air temperature, the amount of vapor discharged according to the measured face skin temperature or air temperature Control.

For example, when the ambient temperature is 25 degrees, the pump supplies water to the steam generator 4 at a speed of 2 to 10 ml / min, and when the ambient temperature is 27 degrees, the pump is at a speed of 1 to 9 ml / min. A controller (not shown) may control the operation speed of the pump 1 to supply water to the steam generator 4.

As such, by controlling the amount of vapor discharged according to the facial skin temperature or the atmospheric temperature measured by the facial temperature sensor 6, the user can be adjusted so as not to have discomfort due to a sudden temperature difference.

In addition, the reservoir 3, the pump 2, the steam generating unit 4 and the discharge unit 5 is preferably disposed extending through a tubular body such as a hose.
