 (実施の形態)
 以下、実施の形態に係る光照射型美容装置について、項目を分けて、説明する。
(Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the light irradiation type beauty apparatus according to the embodiment will be described separately.
 [構成]
 まず、実施の形態に係る光照射型美容装置の一例としての抑毛装置10の構成について、図1から図3を参照しながら、説明する。
[Constitution]
First, the structure of the hair suppression device 10 as an example of the light irradiation type beauty device according to the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.
 図1は、実施の形態に係る抑毛装置10の概略構成を示す平面図である。図2は、抑毛装置10の概略構成を示す側面図である。図3は、抑毛装置10の概略構成を示す断面図である。具体的には、図3は、図1に示す3-3切断線を含む切断面から内部を見た断面図である。 FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of a hair suppression device 10 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view showing a schematic configuration of the hair suppression device 10. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a schematic configuration of the hair suppression device 10. Specifically, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the inside as viewed from a cut surface including a 3-3 cutting line shown in FIG.
 図1から図3に示すように、抑毛装置10は、外装体である長尺なハウジング21を含む。 1 to 3, the hair suppression device 10 includes a long housing 21 that is an exterior body.
 ハウジング21は、一端部に、肌S(図5参照)に対してフラッシュライトを照射するヘッド部30を含む。また、ハウジング21は、一端部内に、ヘッド部30を冷却するファン31を含む。さらに、ハウジング21は、一端部に、ファン31の吸気及び排気を確保する多数の通気孔32を有する。 The housing 21 includes, at one end, a head portion 30 that irradiates the skin S (see FIG. 5) with a flashlight. The housing 21 includes a fan 31 that cools the head unit 30 in one end. Furthermore, the housing 21 has a large number of air holes 32 that secure intake and exhaust of the fan 31 at one end.
 ハウジング21のヘッド部30とは反対側(他端部側)の部分は、ユーザにより把握される把握部40を構成する。把握部40は、ヘッド部30よりも細い形状で構成される。 The part of the housing 21 opposite to the head part 30 (the other end part side) constitutes a grasping part 40 grasped by the user. The grasping unit 40 is configured to be thinner than the head unit 30.
 把握部40には、電源ボタン41と、発光ボタン42と、点灯部43などが設けられる。電源ボタン41は、電源のON/OFFを切り替える。発光ボタン42は、操作により、フラッシュライトを、発光または消灯させる。点灯部43は、電源のON時に点灯し、OFF時に消灯する。さらに、把握部40は、下端部に、例えば商用電源などがケーブルを介して接続される、電源端子49を備える。 The grasping unit 40 is provided with a power button 41, a light emitting button 42, a lighting unit 43, and the like. The power button 41 switches the power ON / OFF. The light emission button 42 turns on or off the flashlight by operation. The lighting unit 43 is turned on when the power is turned on and turned off when the power is turned off. Furthermore, the grasping unit 40 includes a power supply terminal 49 connected to a lower end portion, for example, a commercial power supply via a cable.
 また、図3に示すように、把握部40は、内部に、回路基板44、コンデンサ45などを収容する。回路基板44には、ヘッド部30に備わる照射部50及び冷却部80(図4参照)を駆動する、複数の回路部品46が実装される。複数の回路部品46には、マイコン(マイクロコンピュータ)などが含まれる。マイコンは、抑毛装置10の各駆動部を制御する制御部15(図6参照)を構成する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the grasping unit 40 accommodates therein a circuit board 44, a capacitor 45, and the like. A plurality of circuit components 46 that drive the irradiation unit 50 and the cooling unit 80 (see FIG. 4) provided in the head unit 30 are mounted on the circuit board 44. The plurality of circuit components 46 include a microcomputer (microcomputer). A microcomputer comprises the control part 15 (refer FIG. 6) which controls each drive part of the hair suppression apparatus 10. FIG.
 複数の回路部品46には、第一スイッチ素子461及び第二スイッチ素子462(図6参照)などが含まれる。第一スイッチ素子461は、電源ボタン41に連接し、電源ON/OFF用のスイッチとして機能する。つまり、第一スイッチ素子461は、電源ボタン41が押下されることで、商用電源からの電力供給のON/OFFを切り替える制御信号を、制御部15に出力する。第二スイッチ素子462は、発光ボタン42に連接し、照射部50を発光させるためのスイッチ素子として機能する。つまり、第二スイッチ素子462は、発光ボタン42が押下されることで、照射部50を発光させる制御信号(発光信号)を、制御部15に出力する。 The plurality of circuit components 46 include a first switch element 461 and a second switch element 462 (see FIG. 6). The first switch element 461 is connected to the power button 41 and functions as a power ON / OFF switch. That is, the first switch element 461 outputs a control signal for switching ON / OFF of power supply from the commercial power source to the control unit 15 when the power button 41 is pressed. The second switch element 462 is connected to the light emission button 42 and functions as a switch element for causing the irradiation unit 50 to emit light. That is, the second switch element 462 outputs a control signal (light emission signal) for causing the irradiation unit 50 to emit light to the control unit 15 when the light emission button 42 is pressed.
 コンデンサ45は、商用電源からの電力を、照射部50を発光させるための電荷として、蓄える。このとき、制御部15は、コンデンサ45から照射部50に出力される電力のデューティ比を制御する。 The capacitor 45 stores the electric power from the commercial power supply as a charge for causing the irradiation unit 50 to emit light. At this time, the control unit 15 controls the duty ratio of the power output from the capacitor 45 to the irradiation unit 50.
 つぎに、抑毛装置10のヘッド部30の構成について、図4および図5を参照しながら、説明する。 Next, the configuration of the head unit 30 of the hair suppression device 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
 図4は、ヘッド部30の概略構成を示す平面図である。図5は、ヘッド部30の内部構成を示す断面図である。 FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the head unit 30. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of the head unit 30.
 図4及び図5に示すように、ヘッド部30は、照射部50と、温度検出部70と、冷却部80などを含む。 4 and 5, the head unit 30 includes an irradiation unit 50, a temperature detection unit 70, a cooling unit 80, and the like.
 照射部50は、対象物である肌Sに対して、フラッシュライト(以降、「光」と称する場合もある。)を照射する。具体的には、照射部50は、ハウジング21の一端部に設けられる照射口110に向けて、フラッシュライトを照射する。これにより、照射口110と対向する対象物(肌S)に対して、光が照射される。照射口110は、照射部50におけるフラッシュライトが発光する発光領域である。照射口110は、平面視において、長尺な矩形状に形成される。 The irradiation unit 50 irradiates the target skin S with a flashlight (hereinafter also referred to as “light”). Specifically, the irradiation unit 50 irradiates the flashlight toward the irradiation port 110 provided at one end of the housing 21. Thereby, light is irradiated with respect to the target object (skin S) facing the irradiation port 110. The irradiation port 110 is a light emitting region where the flashlight in the irradiation unit 50 emits light. The irradiation port 110 is formed in a long rectangular shape in plan view.
 また、照射部50は、光源51と、反射部52と、フィルタ53などを含む。光源51は、例えばフラッシュ発光可能な直線的な管状光源で構成される。光源51は、例えばキセノンランプなどが例示される。光源51は、光源51の管軸方向が、照射口110の長手方向と平行となるように、照射部50の短手方向の中央付近に配置される(図5参照)。 The irradiation unit 50 includes a light source 51, a reflection unit 52, a filter 53, and the like. The light source 51 is composed of, for example, a linear tubular light source capable of flash emission. Examples of the light source 51 include a xenon lamp. The light source 51 is disposed in the vicinity of the center in the short direction of the irradiation unit 50 so that the tube axis direction of the light source 51 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the irradiation port 110 (see FIG. 5).
 反射部52は、光源51から出射した光の一部を、照射口110に向けて反射するリフレクタを構成する。反射部52は、照射口110側が開放される凹状空間521を有する。凹状空間521内に、光源51が配置される。反射部52の凹状空間521は凹曲面で形成され、光源51の光を反射する反射面を構成する。 The reflector 52 constitutes a reflector that reflects part of the light emitted from the light source 51 toward the irradiation port 110. The reflection part 52 has a concave space 521 in which the irradiation port 110 side is opened. The light source 51 is disposed in the concave space 521. The concave space 521 of the reflection part 52 is formed with a concave curved surface, and constitutes a reflection surface that reflects the light of the light source 51.
 フィルタ53は、凹状空間521の開放部分を覆って配設される。なお、フィルタ53は、光源51から照射された光の波長を調整する光学フィルタである。そのため、フィルタ53を透過した光は、抑毛効果を発揮することが可能な波長帯の光となる。 The filter 53 is disposed so as to cover the open part of the concave space 521. The filter 53 is an optical filter that adjusts the wavelength of light emitted from the light source 51. Therefore, the light that has passed through the filter 53 becomes light in a wavelength band that can exhibit the hair-loss effect.
 ここで、抑毛効果を発揮することが可能な波長帯は、毛のメラニンに作用する500nm以上、1200nm以下の波長帯である。その波長帯の中でも、800nm以上、850nm以下の波長帯が、特に、抑毛効果に寄与する。また、照射部50から放射されるフラッシュライトは、さまざまの波長の光を含む。そのため、含まれる波長において、800nm以上、850nm以下の波長帯の光照射の積算Eg(A)と、500nm以上、600nm以下の波長帯の光照射の積算Eg(B)との比率A/Bは、A/B≧1.2以上あると、より好ましい。これにより、より効果的に抑毛効果を得られる。 Here, the wavelength band capable of exhibiting the hair-loss effect is a wavelength band of 500 nm or more and 1200 nm or less that acts on melanin of hair. Among the wavelength bands, a wavelength band of 800 nm or more and 850 nm or less contributes particularly to the hair suppression effect. The flashlight emitted from the irradiation unit 50 includes light of various wavelengths. Therefore, at the included wavelengths, the ratio A / B between the integrated Eg (A) of light irradiation in the wavelength band of 800 nm or more and 850 nm or less and the integrated Eg (B) of light irradiation in the wavelength band of 500 nm or more and 600 nm or less is A / B ≧ 1.2 is more preferable. Thereby, the hair-loss effect can be obtained more effectively.
 温度検出部70は、ユーザの肌Sの温度を検出する。具体的には、温度検出部70は、1つ以上(本実施の形態では4つ)の、例えば接触式の温度センサ71を含む。接触式の温度センサ71としては、例えば接触式サーミスタ、熱電対、測温抵抗体などが挙げられる。4つの温度センサ71は、照射口110の周囲に配置される。4つの温度センサ71のうち、一対の温度センサ71は、照射口110の短手方向で、照射口110を挟むように配置される。また、他の一対の温度センサ71は、照射口110の長手方向で、照射口110を挟むように配置される。 The temperature detection unit 70 detects the temperature of the user's skin S. Specifically, the temperature detection unit 70 includes one or more (four in the present embodiment), for example, contact-type temperature sensors 71. Examples of the contact type temperature sensor 71 include a contact type thermistor, a thermocouple, and a resistance temperature detector. The four temperature sensors 71 are arranged around the irradiation port 110. Of the four temperature sensors 71, the pair of temperature sensors 71 are arranged so as to sandwich the irradiation port 110 in the short direction of the irradiation port 110. Further, the other pair of temperature sensors 71 are arranged so as to sandwich the irradiation port 110 in the longitudinal direction of the irradiation port 110.
 なお、後述するように、光照射の前後において、温度検出部70により、肌Sにおける受光領域の温度を、精度よく検出することが望まれる。受光領域とは、肌Sにおける照射口110と対向する領域で、例えば施術が施される領域である。 As will be described later, it is desired that the temperature detection unit 70 accurately detect the temperature of the light receiving region in the skin S before and after the light irradiation. The light receiving region is a region facing the irradiation port 110 in the skin S, for example, a region where a treatment is performed.
 このとき、温度検出部を、照射口110の周囲ではなく、照射口110内に配置すれば、受光領域の温度を、確実に検出できる。しかしながら、照射口110内に温度検出部を配置すると、温度検出部により、光源51から放射される光が遮られる。そこで、本実施の形態では、温度検出部70を照射口110の周囲に配置する。これにより、温度検出部70が、光を遮ることなく、受光領域近傍の温度を検出できる。 At this time, if the temperature detection unit is arranged not in the vicinity of the irradiation port 110 but in the irradiation port 110, the temperature of the light receiving region can be reliably detected. However, when a temperature detection unit is disposed in the irradiation port 110, the light emitted from the light source 51 is blocked by the temperature detection unit. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the temperature detection unit 70 is disposed around the irradiation port 110. Thereby, the temperature detection unit 70 can detect the temperature in the vicinity of the light receiving region without blocking light.
 また、冷却部80は、抑毛装置10のヘッド部30が接触する肌Sを冷却する。冷却部80は、例えばペルチェ素子などの冷却機能を有する熱電素子で構成される。冷却部80は、照射口110の周囲に配置される。具体的には、冷却部80は、照射口110の短手方向に並ぶ一対の温度センサ71のうち、一方の温度センサ71を、照射口110とともに挟む位置に配置される。つまり、照射口110と冷却部80とは、照射口110の短手方向に並んで配置される。冷却部80は、平面視において、長尺な矩形状で形成され、冷却部80の長手方向が照射口110の長手方向と平行となるように配置される。 Further, the cooling unit 80 cools the skin S that the head unit 30 of the hair suppression device 10 contacts. The cooling unit 80 is composed of a thermoelectric element having a cooling function such as a Peltier element. The cooling unit 80 is disposed around the irradiation port 110. Specifically, the cooling unit 80 is disposed at a position that sandwiches one temperature sensor 71 together with the irradiation port 110 among the pair of temperature sensors 71 arranged in the short direction of the irradiation port 110. That is, the irradiation port 110 and the cooling unit 80 are arranged side by side in the short direction of the irradiation port 110. The cooling unit 80 is formed in a long rectangular shape in plan view, and is arranged so that the longitudinal direction of the cooling unit 80 is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the irradiation port 110.
 このとき、冷却部80の外表面と、複数の温度センサ71の表面と、ハウジング21における照射口110の周縁部とは、略面一(面一を含む)となるように配設される。これにより、肌Sに対して照射口110を対向させた場合、冷却部80の外表面と、複数の温度センサ71の表面と、ハウジング21における照射口110の周縁部とを、肌Sに密着させることができる。つまり、冷却部80の外表面を肌Sに密着させることにより、肌Sを、より確実に冷却できる。また、温度センサ71の表面を肌Sに密着させることにより、温度検出の精度を高めることができる。さらに、ハウジング21の照射口110の周縁部を肌Sに密着させることにより、漏れ光の発生を抑制できる。 At this time, the outer surface of the cooling unit 80, the surfaces of the plurality of temperature sensors 71, and the peripheral portion of the irradiation port 110 in the housing 21 are arranged to be substantially flush (including flush). Thereby, when the irradiation port 110 is made to oppose the skin S, the outer surface of the cooling unit 80, the surfaces of the plurality of temperature sensors 71, and the peripheral portion of the irradiation port 110 in the housing 21 are in close contact with the skin S. Can be made. That is, the skin S can be cooled more reliably by bringing the outer surface of the cooling unit 80 into close contact with the skin S. In addition, the accuracy of temperature detection can be increased by bringing the surface of the temperature sensor 71 into close contact with the skin S. Furthermore, by causing the peripheral edge of the irradiation port 110 of the housing 21 to be in close contact with the skin S, the occurrence of leakage light can be suppressed.
 つぎに、抑毛装置10の制御構成について、図6を参照しながら、説明する。図6は、抑毛装置10の制御構成を示すブロック図である。 Next, the control configuration of the hair suppression device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a control configuration of the hair suppression apparatus 10.
 図6に示すように、抑毛装置10の制御部15は、例えばマイコンで構成される。制御部15は、第一スイッチ素子461、第二スイッチ素子462、点灯部43、コンデンサ45、ファン31、光源51、温度検出部70及び冷却部80などなどを含み、それらは電気的に接続される。制御部15は、第一スイッチ素子461から出力された制御信号に基づいて、光源51、点灯部43、コンデンサ45及びファン31を制御する。 As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 15 of the hair suppression device 10 is constituted by a microcomputer, for example. The control unit 15 includes a first switch element 461, a second switch element 462, a lighting unit 43, a capacitor 45, a fan 31, a light source 51, a temperature detection unit 70, a cooling unit 80, and the like, which are electrically connected. The The control unit 15 controls the light source 51, the lighting unit 43, the capacitor 45, and the fan 31 based on the control signal output from the first switch element 461.
 具体的には、制御部15は、電源OFF時の状態において、把握部40の電源ボタン41が押下操作されと、第一スイッチ素子461から制御信号が入力される。これにより、制御部15は、ケーブルを介して電源端子49に接続された、商用電源からの電力を、各部に供給する。一方、制御部15は、電源ON時の状態において、電源ボタン41が押下操作されると、第一スイッチ素子461から制御信号が入力される。これにより、制御部15は、商用電源からの電力の供給を停止する。また、制御部15は、電源ON時においては点灯部43を点灯させ、電源OFF時においては点灯部43を消灯させる。さらに、制御部15は、電源ON時においてはファン31を駆動させ、電源OFF時においてはファン31を停止させる。つまり、電源ON時においては、ファン31の動作により、照射部50が冷却される。 Specifically, the control unit 15 receives a control signal from the first switch element 461 when the power button 41 of the grasping unit 40 is pressed in a state where the power is off. Thereby, the control part 15 supplies the electric power from a commercial power source connected to the power supply terminal 49 via the cable to each part. On the other hand, the control unit 15 receives a control signal from the first switch element 461 when the power button 41 is pressed while the power is on. Thereby, the control part 15 stops supply of the electric power from a commercial power source. The control unit 15 turns on the lighting unit 43 when the power is on, and turns off the lighting unit 43 when the power is off. Further, the control unit 15 drives the fan 31 when the power is on, and stops the fan 31 when the power is off. That is, when the power is turned on, the irradiation unit 50 is cooled by the operation of the fan 31.
 また、制御部15は、電源ON時においては冷却部80を駆動させ、電源OFF時においては冷却部80を停止させる。つまり、電源ON時においては、冷却部80により、肌Sが冷却される。さらに、制御部15は、電源ON時において、温度検出部70である4つの温度センサ71が検出した温度を監視する。そして、制御部15は、少なくとも一つの温度センサ71の検出温度が所定値以上の場合、照射部50の光の照射を禁止する。この禁止期間においては、制御部15は、例え、第二スイッチ素子462が押下操作されて、発光信号が入力されたとしても、発光信号を受け付けない。この場合、制御部15は、点灯部43の点灯パターンを、通常時と異なる点灯パターンで、点灯部43を点灯させる。これにより、制御部15は、ユーザに対して、光の照射が禁止された旨を報知する。 Further, the control unit 15 drives the cooling unit 80 when the power is on, and stops the cooling unit 80 when the power is off. That is, the skin S is cooled by the cooling unit 80 when the power is turned on. Furthermore, the control unit 15 monitors the temperatures detected by the four temperature sensors 71 serving as the temperature detection unit 70 when the power is turned on. And the control part 15 prohibits irradiation of the light of the irradiation part 50, when the detection temperature of the at least 1 temperature sensor 71 is more than predetermined value. During this prohibition period, the control unit 15 does not accept the light emission signal even if the second switch element 462 is pressed and a light emission signal is input. In this case, the control part 15 makes the lighting part 43 light by the lighting pattern of the lighting part 43 by the lighting pattern different from normal time. Thereby, the control part 15 alert | reports to the user that irradiation of light was prohibited.
 一方、制御部15は、4つの温度センサ71の全ての検出温度が、所定値未満の場合、照射部50の光の照射を許可する。この許可期間においては、制御部15は、第二スイッチ素子462の押下操作により入力される発光信号を受け付けて、光源51を発光させる。 On the other hand, when all the detected temperatures of the four temperature sensors 71 are less than the predetermined value, the control unit 15 permits the irradiation unit 50 to irradiate light. In this permission period, the control unit 15 receives a light emission signal input by a pressing operation of the second switch element 462 and causes the light source 51 to emit light.
 ここで、一般的に、抑毛装置10は、光照射前の肌Sの温度が高ければ高いほど、光照射後において、肌Sはダメージを受けやすい。特に、例えばヒゲなどのような太い毛が高密度に生えている部位(顎、頬など)に、上述した波長帯の光を照射すると、肌Sが高温となるため、よりダメージを受けやすい。そこで、実施の形態の抑毛装置10において、上記「所定値」は、肌Sに対して照射部50から光を照射しても、肌Sが、ダメージを受けない温度に設定する。つまり、毛が多いなどの熱を吸収しやすい状況でも、通常の毛の量で起こる程度のダメージにとどめる温度に設定する。具体的には、「所定値」は、例えば種々のシミュレーション、実験などにより、適切な値が予め決定される。 Here, generally, as the temperature of the skin S before light irradiation is higher, the hair suppression apparatus 10 is more susceptible to damage after light irradiation. In particular, when light having the above-described wavelength band is irradiated onto a portion (such as a chin or cheek) where thick hair such as a beard grows at a high density, the skin S becomes high temperature, which is more susceptible to damage. Therefore, in the hair suppression device 10 of the embodiment, the “predetermined value” is set to a temperature at which the skin S is not damaged even when the skin S is irradiated with light from the irradiation unit 50. In other words, even in a situation where heat is easily absorbed, such as when there are a lot of hairs, the temperature is set so as to limit the damage to the extent that occurs with the amount of normal hair. Specifically, an appropriate value is determined in advance as the “predetermined value”, for example, by various simulations and experiments.
 また、所定値は、照射Egによって異なる。例えば、照射Eg≧8Jの場合、肌Sの温度が25℃以上であると、肌Sにダメージを与える可能性が高い。そのため、所定値は、25℃とする。なお、さらに、安全マージンを考慮する場合には、所定値を25℃よりも低い値に設定することが好ましい。そこで、実施の形態の抑毛装置10は、具体的には、所定値を、例えば15℃に設定する。 Also, the predetermined value varies depending on the irradiation Eg. For example, in the case of irradiation Eg ≧ 8 J, if the temperature of the skin S is 25 ° C. or higher, there is a high possibility of damaging the skin S. Therefore, the predetermined value is set to 25 ° C. Furthermore, when considering the safety margin, it is preferable to set the predetermined value to a value lower than 25 ° C. Therefore, specifically, the hair suppression device 10 of the embodiment sets the predetermined value to 15 ° C., for example.
 [制御方法]
 つぎに、抑毛装置10の制御方法について、図7を参照しながら、説明する。図7は、抑毛装置10の制御方法を示すフローチャートである。なお、図7の制御方法は、電源ボタン41が押下操作され、抑毛装置10の電源がONの状態からの流れを示している。
[Control method]
Next, a method for controlling the hair suppression device 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the hair suppression apparatus 10. Note that the control method of FIG. 7 shows a flow from a state where the power button 41 is pressed and the power of the hair suppression device 10 is turned on.
 まず、図7に示すように、制御部15は、冷却部80を駆動して肌Sを冷却する(ステップS1)。そして、制御部15は、冷却部80の駆動を、電源のOFF時まで継続する。 First, as shown in FIG. 7, the control unit 15 drives the cooling unit 80 to cool the skin S (step S1). Then, the control unit 15 continues driving the cooling unit 80 until the power is turned off.
 つぎに、制御部15は、4つの温度センサ71の、それぞれの検出温度が、所定値以上であるか否かを判断する(ステップS2)。このとき、制御部15は、少なくとも一つの温度センサ71の検出温度が所定値以上である場合(ステップS2のYES)、照射部50の光の照射を禁止する。そして、上述したように、この禁止期間においては、制御部15は、第二スイッチ素子462から発光信号が入力されても、発光信号を受け付けない。そのため、高温状態にある肌Sには、照射部50からの光が照射されない。これにより、肌Sに対するダメージの発生が、未然に防止される。 Next, the control unit 15 determines whether or not the detected temperatures of the four temperature sensors 71 are equal to or higher than a predetermined value (step S2). At this time, if the temperature detected by at least one temperature sensor 71 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (YES in step S2), the control unit 15 prohibits the irradiation unit 50 from irradiating light. As described above, in this prohibition period, the control unit 15 does not accept a light emission signal even if a light emission signal is input from the second switch element 462. Therefore, the light from the irradiation part 50 is not irradiated to the skin S in a high temperature state. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage with respect to the skin S is prevented beforehand.
 そして、制御部15は、点灯部43を制御して、通常時と異なる点灯パターンで点灯部43を点灯させる。これにより、照射の禁止(ステップS3)をユーザに報知する(ステップS4)。このとき、ユーザは、点灯部43の報知を、直接、あるいはユーザを映す鏡越しに視認できる。その結果、ユーザは、現在、抑毛装置10の動作が禁止期間であること、つまり肌Sの温度が所定値以上で、高いことを把握する。そこで、禁止期間を認識したユーザは、肌Sが、より冷却されるように抑毛装置10を操作して、冷却部80による肌Sへの冷却を促進させる。または、ユーザは、肌Sの温度が所定値未満となるまで、抑毛装置10の使用を控える。さらに、ユーザは、別の冷却方法、例えば氷、冷却剤などを肌Sに当てて、冷却してもよい。つまり、ユーザの肌Sの温度が所定値未満になるまで、抑毛装置10による処理を保留する。 And the control part 15 controls the lighting part 43, and makes the lighting part 43 light by the lighting pattern different from a normal time. Thereby, the prohibition of irradiation (step S3) is notified to the user (step S4). At this time, the user can visually recognize the notification of the lighting unit 43 directly or through a mirror that reflects the user. As a result, the user grasps that the operation of the hair suppression device 10 is currently prohibited, that is, the temperature of the skin S is higher than a predetermined value. Then, the user who recognized the prohibition period operates the hair suppression apparatus 10 so that the skin S is further cooled, and promotes the cooling to the skin S by the cooling unit 80. Alternatively, the user refrains from using the hair suppression device 10 until the temperature of the skin S becomes less than a predetermined value. Further, the user may cool the skin S by applying another cooling method such as ice or a coolant. That is, the process by the hair suppression device 10 is suspended until the temperature of the user's skin S becomes less than a predetermined value.
 そして、制御部15は、ユーザへの報知後に、ステップS2に移行し、再度、以降のステップを実行する。 And the control part 15 transfers to step S2 after alert | reporting to a user, and performs the subsequent steps again.
 一方、4つの温度センサ71のそれぞれの検出温度が、所定値未満である場合(ステップS2のNO)、制御部15は、肌Sに対する安全性が、ある程度、確保された状態であると判断し、照射部50からの光の照射を許可する(ステップS5)。 On the other hand, when the detected temperature of each of the four temperature sensors 71 is less than the predetermined value (NO in step S2), the control unit 15 determines that the safety against the skin S is secured to some extent. The irradiation of light from the irradiation unit 50 is permitted (step S5).
 つぎに、制御部15は、許可期間中に第二スイッチ素子462から発光信号が入力されたか否かを判断する(ステップS6)。そして、発光信号が入力されていない場合(ステップS6のNO)、ステップS2に移行し、再度、以降のステップを実行する。つまり、肌Sへの光の照射の許可期間中に、再度、ステップS2に移行される。そのため、許可期間中において、肌Sの温度が何らかの要因で所定値未満から所定値以上に上昇した場合、速やかに、禁止期間に切り替えることができる。これにより、肌Sに対するダメージの発生を、より確実に防止できる。 Next, the control unit 15 determines whether or not a light emission signal is input from the second switch element 462 during the permission period (step S6). And when the light emission signal is not input (NO of step S6), it transfers to step S2 and performs the subsequent steps again. That is, the process proceeds to step S2 again during the permission period of the light irradiation to the skin S. Therefore, when the temperature of the skin S rises from less than a predetermined value to more than a predetermined value for some reason during the permission period, it can be quickly switched to the prohibition period. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage with respect to the skin S can be prevented more reliably.
 一方、発光信号が入力された場合(ステップS6のYES)、制御部15は、光源51を制御して、照射部50から肌Sに対して、光を照射する(ステップS7)。これにより、肌Sに対して、抑毛効果のあるフラッシュライトの光が照射される。 On the other hand, when the light emission signal is input (YES in step S6), the control unit 15 controls the light source 51 to irradiate the skin S with light from the irradiation unit 50 (step S7). Thereby, the light of the flashlight having a hair-suppressing effect is applied to the skin S.
 [効果など]
 以上のように、実施の形態に係る抑毛装置10は、対象物(肌S)にフラッシュライトを照射する照射部50と、対象物の温度を検出する温度検出部70と、温度検出部70の検出温度に基づいて照射部50を制御する制御部15を備える。制御部15は、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上である場合、照射部50の照射を禁止する。
[Effects, etc.]
As described above, the hair suppression device 10 according to the embodiment includes the irradiation unit 50 that irradiates the object (skin S) with the flashlight, the temperature detection unit 70 that detects the temperature of the object, and the temperature detection unit 70. The control part 15 which controls the irradiation part 50 based on this detected temperature is provided. When the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the control unit 15 prohibits the irradiation unit 50 from irradiating.
 これによれば、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上である場合、照射部50の照射が禁止される。そのため、高温状態にある肌Sへの、照射部50からの光の照射を防止できる。これにより、ユーザの肌Sに対するダメージの発生を、より確実に防止できる。 According to this, irradiation of the irradiation unit 50 is prohibited when the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Therefore, irradiation of light from the irradiation unit 50 to the skin S in a high temperature state can be prevented. Thereby, generation | occurrence | production of the damage with respect to a user's skin S can be prevented more reliably.
 また、抑毛装置10は、報知部(点灯部43)を備える。制御部15は、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上である場合、点灯部43を制御して、ユーザに報知する。 Further, the hair suppression device 10 includes a notification unit (lighting unit 43). When the temperature detected by the temperature detector 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the controller 15 controls the lighting unit 43 to notify the user.
 これによれば、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上である場合、点灯部43により、ユーザへの報知が行われる。これにより、ユーザは、肌Sの温度が所定値以上であることを容易に認識できる。その結果、ユーザは、この報知に基づいて、例えば肌Sを冷却するなどの、適切な行動を執ることができる。 According to this, when the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the lighting unit 43 notifies the user. Thereby, the user can easily recognize that the temperature of the skin S is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. As a result, the user can take an appropriate action such as cooling the skin S based on this notification.
 さらに、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上であるにも関わらず、万が一、照射部50の照射が禁止されていない場合、つまり禁止処理に異常がある場合においても、ユーザは報知により肌Sの温度が所定値以上であることを認識できる。これにより、ユーザは、例えば発光ボタン42に対する操作を自制するなどの対策を執ることができる。 Furthermore, even if the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the user should be notified by notification even when the irradiation of the irradiation unit 50 is not prohibited, that is, when there is an abnormality in the prohibition process. It can be recognized that the temperature of S is equal to or higher than a predetermined value. Thereby, the user can take measures such as restraining the operation on the light emitting button 42, for example.
 また、抑毛装置10は、照射部50におけるフラッシュライトが発光する発光領域(照射口110)の周囲に配置され、肌Sを冷却する冷却部80を備える。 Further, the hair suppression device 10 includes a cooling unit 80 that is disposed around a light emitting region (irradiation port 110) where the flashlight in the irradiation unit 50 emits light and cools the skin S.
 これによれば、照射部50の照射口110の周囲に冷却部80が設けられる。そのため、肌Sの受光領域の周囲を、冷却部80で、効果的に冷却できる。 According to this, the cooling unit 80 is provided around the irradiation port 110 of the irradiation unit 50. Therefore, the cooling unit 80 can effectively cool the periphery of the light receiving region of the skin S.
 また、抑毛装置10は、温度検出部70が、照射部50におけるフラッシュライトが発光する発光領域の周囲に配置される。 In the hair suppression device 10, the temperature detection unit 70 is disposed around the light emitting region where the flashlight in the irradiation unit 50 emits light.
 これによれば、照射部50の照射口110の周囲に温度検出部70が設けられる。そのため、温度検出部70が、照射口110から照射される光を遮ることを防止できる。さらに、肌Sの受光領域の周囲の温度を、温度検出部70で、検出できる。 According to this, the temperature detection unit 70 is provided around the irradiation port 110 of the irradiation unit 50. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the temperature detection unit 70 from blocking the light emitted from the irradiation port 110. Further, the temperature around the light receiving area of the skin S can be detected by the temperature detection unit 70.
 また、抑毛装置10の温度検出部70は、接触式の温度センサ71を含む。 Further, the temperature detection unit 70 of the hair suppression device 10 includes a contact-type temperature sensor 71.
 これによれば、接触式の温度センサ71により、簡単な構造で、肌Sの温度を検出できる。 According to this, the temperature of the skin S can be detected by the contact-type temperature sensor 71 with a simple structure.
 [変形例]
 なお、抑毛装置10の構成は、上記実施の形態で説明された構成に限定されない。そこで、以下に、抑毛装置についての変形例を上記実施の形態との差分を中心に説明する。以降の説明では、上記実施の形態と同一部分については、同一の符号を付して、その説明を省略する場合がある。
[Modification]
In addition, the structure of the hair suppression apparatus 10 is not limited to the structure demonstrated in the said embodiment. Therefore, in the following, a modified example of the hair suppression device will be described focusing on differences from the above embodiment. In the following description, the same parts as those in the above embodiment may be denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof may be omitted.
 (変形例1)
 上記実施の形態の抑毛装置10では、温度検出部70と冷却部80とがハウジング21に対して固定された構成を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、以下、図8から図10を用いて説明する、変形例1に示すように、温度検出部と冷却部とを、可動式で構成してもよい。
(Modification 1)
In the hair suppression device 10 of the above embodiment, the configuration in which the temperature detection unit 70 and the cooling unit 80 are fixed to the housing 21 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, as shown in Modification 1 described below with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10, the temperature detection unit and the cooling unit may be configured to be movable.
 図8は、変形例1に係るヘッド部30Aの概略構成を示す平面図である。図9は、変形例1に係るヘッド部30Aの内部構成を示す断面図である。図10は、変形例1に係る抑毛装置10Aの制御構成を示すブロック図である。具体的には、図8、図9および図10は、上記実施の形態の図4、図5および図6の、それぞれに対応する図である。 FIG. 8 is a plan view showing a schematic configuration of the head unit 30A according to the first modification. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an internal configuration of the head unit 30A according to the first modification. FIG. 10 is a block diagram illustrating a control configuration of the hair suppression device 10A according to the first modification. Specifically, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, and FIG. 10 are diagrams corresponding to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6 of the above embodiment, respectively.
 図8及び図9に示すように、変形例1の抑毛装置は、ヘッド部30Aに配設される温度検出部70aと冷却部80aとが、スライド部85aによって、ヘッド部30Aにスライド自在に保持される。 As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in the hair suppression device of the first modification, the temperature detection unit 70a and the cooling unit 80a disposed in the head unit 30A are slidable on the head unit 30A by the slide unit 85a. Retained.
 スライド部85aは、保持フレーム86aと、駆動源87a(図10参照)などを含む。保持フレーム86aは、温度検出部70aと冷却部80aとを保持する。駆動源87aは、制御部15からの信号に基づいて、保持フレーム86aを、短手方向にスライド移動させる。ここで、駆動源87aとしては、例えばモータ、ソレノイド等が挙げられる。 The slide portion 85a includes a holding frame 86a, a drive source 87a (see FIG. 10), and the like. The holding frame 86a holds the temperature detection unit 70a and the cooling unit 80a. The drive source 87a slides the holding frame 86a in the short direction based on a signal from the control unit 15. Here, examples of the drive source 87a include a motor and a solenoid.
 保持フレーム86aには、照射口110aが形成される。保持フレーム86aは、温度検出部70aの4つの温度センサ71aと、冷却部80aとの相対的な位置関係を保持したまま、照射口110aの短手方向に沿って、スライドする。具体的には、保持フレーム86aは、図示しないスライド機構を介して、駆動源87aに連結される。駆動源87aの駆動により、スライド機構が動作し、保持フレーム86aがスライドする。そして、保持フレーム86aのスライドにより、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aの設置箇所が、第一の位置と第二の位置とで切り替えられる。 The irradiation port 110a is formed in the holding frame 86a. The holding frame 86a slides along the short direction of the irradiation port 110a while maintaining the relative positional relationship between the four temperature sensors 71a of the temperature detection unit 70a and the cooling unit 80a. Specifically, the holding frame 86a is connected to the drive source 87a via a slide mechanism (not shown). The slide mechanism operates by driving the drive source 87a, and the holding frame 86a slides. And the installation location of the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a is switched between the first position and the second position by the slide of the holding frame 86a.
 ここで、図8及び図9では、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aが第一の位置にある場合を、実線で図示している。また、4つの温度センサ71aと冷却部80aとが第二の位置にある場合を、破線で示している。なお、図8及び図9においては、第二の位置にある保持フレーム86aの図示は、省略している。 Here, in FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, the case where the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a are in the first position is illustrated by solid lines. The case where the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a are in the second position is indicated by broken lines. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the holding frame 86a in the second position is not shown.
 つまり、第一の位置は、照射部50から光が照射される場合における、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aの設置箇所である。第一の位置では、保持フレーム86aの照射口110aは、照射部50に対向して配置される。そのため、照射部50から照射される光は、照射口110aを通過して、肌Sの受光領域に到達する。これにより、肌Sの抑毛処理が、実行される。 That is, the first position is an installation location of the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a when light is irradiated from the irradiation unit 50. In the first position, the irradiation port 110 a of the holding frame 86 a is disposed to face the irradiation unit 50. Therefore, the light irradiated from the irradiation unit 50 passes through the irradiation port 110a and reaches the light receiving region of the skin S. Thereby, the hair suppression process of the skin S is performed.
 一方、第二の位置は、冷却部80aで肌Sの受光領域を冷却する場合における、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aの設置箇所である。第二の位置では、冷却部80aは、照射部50に対向して配置される。 On the other hand, the second position is an installation location of the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a when the light receiving area of the skin S is cooled by the cooling unit 80a. In the second position, the cooling unit 80 a is disposed to face the irradiation unit 50.
 さらに、図10に示すように、スライド部85aの駆動源87aは、制御部15に電気的に接続される。これにより、駆動源87aは、制御部15の制御に基づいて、駆動制御される。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, the drive source 87 a of the slide portion 85 a is electrically connected to the control unit 15. Accordingly, the drive source 87a is driven and controlled based on the control of the control unit 15.
 具体的には、例えば肌Sへの光照射が許可期間にある場合、制御部15は、駆動源87aを制御して、スライド部85aを介して、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aを移動させ、第一の位置に配置する。 Specifically, for example, when light irradiation to the skin S is in the permitted period, the control unit 15 controls the drive source 87a to move the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a via the slide unit 85a. Arranged at the first position.
 その後、制御部15は、第二スイッチ素子462から発光信号が入力されると、光源51を制御して、照射部50から、肌Sに対して光を照射する。 Thereafter, when a light emission signal is input from the second switch element 462, the control unit 15 controls the light source 51 to irradiate the skin S with light from the irradiation unit 50.
 一方、例えば肌Sへの光照射が禁止期間である場合、制御部15は、駆動源87aを制御して、4つの温度センサ71a及び冷却部80aを移動させ、第二の位置に配置する。そのため、冷却部80aが、肌Sの受光領域と対向する位置に配置される。これにより、肌Sの受光領域を、冷却部80aで、直接的に、冷却できる。また、万が一、禁止期間中に、照射部50から光が照射されても、照射される光は、冷却部80aで遮られる。そのため、肌Sに対する安全性を確保できる。 On the other hand, for example, when the light irradiation to the skin S is in the prohibited period, the control unit 15 controls the drive source 87a to move the four temperature sensors 71a and the cooling unit 80a and arrange them at the second position. Therefore, the cooling unit 80a is disposed at a position facing the light receiving region of the skin S. Thereby, the light-receiving region of the skin S can be directly cooled by the cooling unit 80a. Even if light is irradiated from the irradiation unit 50 during the prohibited period, the irradiated light is blocked by the cooling unit 80a. Therefore, safety against the skin S can be ensured.
 以上のように、変形例1に係る抑毛装置10Aは、温度検出部70aと冷却部80aとをスライドさせるスライド部85aを備える。そのため、肌Sに沿って、抑毛装置10Aを移動させずに、温度検出部70aと冷却部80aのみを、スライド部85aを介して移動させることができる。これにより、ユーザに不要な操作を強いることなく、効率的に、肌Sを冷却できる。さらに、肌Sを、所望の温度まで、より確実に冷却できる。 As described above, the hair suppression device 10A according to the first modification includes the slide unit 85a that slides the temperature detection unit 70a and the cooling unit 80a. Therefore, only the temperature detection unit 70a and the cooling unit 80a can be moved along the skin S without moving the hair suppression device 10A via the slide unit 85a. Thereby, skin S can be cooled efficiently, without forcing a user unnecessary operation. Furthermore, the skin S can be cooled more reliably to a desired temperature.
 (変形例2)
 上記実施の形態の抑毛装置10では、温度検出部70が接触式の温度センサ71を含む構成を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、以下、図11を用いて説明する、変形例2に示すように、温度検出部を非接触式の温度センサを含む構成としてもよい。
(Modification 2)
In the hair suppression apparatus 10 of the said embodiment, although the temperature detection part 70 demonstrated to the example the structure containing the contact-type temperature sensor 71, it is not restricted to this. For example, as illustrated in Modification 2 described below with reference to FIG. 11, the temperature detection unit may include a non-contact temperature sensor.
 図11は、変形例2に係るヘッド部30Bの概略構成を示す平面図である。具体的には、図11は、上記実施の形態で参照した図4に対応する図である。 FIG. 11 is a plan view illustrating a schematic configuration of the head unit 30B according to the second modification. Specifically, FIG. 11 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 4 referred to in the above embodiment.
 図11に示すように、変形例2の抑毛装置の温度検出部70bは、二組の非接触式の温度センサ71bを含む。二組の温度センサ71bは、照射口110における長手方向の両端部近傍に、配置される。温度センサ71bは、赤外線を発する発光素子711bと、発光素子711bが発した赤外線を受光する受光素子712bとを含む。そして、発光素子711bと受光素子712bとは、照射口110を、短手方向において挟むように配置される。つまり、発光素子711bから放射される赤外線は、肌Sの受光領域で反射され、反射された赤外線が受光素子712bに到達する。そして、受光素子712bは、受光した赤外線の強度に対応した信号を、制御部15に出力する。これにより、制御部15は、入力された信号に基づいて、肌Sの発光領域の温度を検出する。 As shown in Fig. 11, the temperature detection unit 70b of the hair suppression device of Modification 2 includes two sets of non-contact temperature sensors 71b. The two sets of temperature sensors 71b are arranged in the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the irradiation port 110. The temperature sensor 71b includes a light emitting element 711b that emits infrared light and a light receiving element 712b that receives the infrared light emitted from the light emitting element 711b. And the light emitting element 711b and the light receiving element 712b are arrange | positioned so that the irradiation port 110 may be pinched | interposed in a transversal direction. That is, the infrared rays emitted from the light emitting element 711b are reflected by the light receiving region of the skin S, and the reflected infrared rays reach the light receiving element 712b. Then, the light receiving element 712b outputs a signal corresponding to the intensity of the received infrared light to the control unit 15. Thereby, the control part 15 detects the temperature of the light emission area | region of the skin S based on the input signal.
 以上のように、変形例2に係る抑毛装置のヘッド部30Bの温度検出部70bは、非接触式の温度センサ71bを含む。これにより、肌Sの受光領域の温度を、より確実に検出できる。つまり、非接触式の温度センサ71bにより、接触式の温度センサの場合における、肌との接触の度合いによる誤差の発生を、より確実に回避できる。 As described above, the temperature detection unit 70b of the head unit 30B of the hair suppression device according to the modified example 2 includes the non-contact type temperature sensor 71b. Thereby, the temperature of the light receiving region of the skin S can be detected more reliably. That is, the non-contact temperature sensor 71b can more reliably avoid the occurrence of an error due to the degree of contact with the skin in the case of the contact temperature sensor.
 (変形例3)
 上記実施の形態の抑毛装置10では、冷却部80が冷却機能を有する熱電素子である場合の構成を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、以下、図12を用いて説明する、変形例3に示すように、冷却剤を用いて冷却を行う冷却部で構成してもよい。
(Modification 3)
In the hair suppression apparatus 10 of the said embodiment, although the structure in case the cooling part 80 is a thermoelectric element which has a cooling function was demonstrated to the example, it is not restricted to this. For example, as shown in Modification 3 described below with reference to FIG. 12, a cooling unit that performs cooling using a coolant may be used.
 図12は、変形例3に係るヘッド部30Cの内部構成を示す断面図である。具体的には、図12は、上記実施の形態で参照した図5に対応する図である。 FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing an internal configuration of the head unit 30C according to the third modification. Specifically, FIG. 12 is a diagram corresponding to FIG. 5 referred to in the above embodiment.
 図12に示すように、変形例3の抑毛装置は、ヘッド部30Cに冷却部80cを備える。冷却部80cは、保冷部81cと、吐出部82cとを含み、ハウジング21内に配設される。保冷部81cは、冷却剤Cを保冷する貯蔵庫である。冷却剤Cとしては、例えばジェル剤などが挙げられる。 As shown in FIG. 12, the hair suppression device of Modification 3 includes a cooling unit 80c in the head unit 30C. The cooling unit 80 c includes a cold insulation unit 81 c and a discharge unit 82 c and is disposed in the housing 21. The cold insulation unit 81c is a storage that keeps the coolant C cold. Examples of the coolant C include a gel agent.
 保冷部81cは、冷却剤Cを、所定温度以下(例えば、15℃以下)で保冷する。保冷部81cは、底部に、照射口110に連通して形成される貫通孔811cを有する。 The cold insulation unit 81c keeps the coolant C at a predetermined temperature or lower (for example, 15 ° C. or lower). The cold insulation portion 81c has a through hole 811c formed at the bottom thereof so as to communicate with the irradiation port 110.
 吐出部82cは、保冷部81c内の冷却剤Cを押し出す押子として機能する。吐出部82cは、図示しない駆動源の駆動に基づいて、昇降する。駆動源は、制御部15の制御に基づいて、吐出部82cを駆動する。 The discharge part 82c functions as a pusher that pushes out the coolant C in the cold insulation part 81c. The discharge part 82c moves up and down based on driving of a drive source (not shown). The drive source drives the ejection unit 82 c based on the control of the control unit 15.
 具体的には、駆動源の駆動によって吐出部82cが下降すると、保冷部81c内の冷却剤Cが、貫通孔811cから照射口110内に押し出される。押し出された冷却剤Cは、照射口110内を充填する。これにより、肌Sの受光領域が、冷却剤Cによって冷却される。 Specifically, when the discharge part 82c is lowered by driving the drive source, the coolant C in the cold insulation part 81c is pushed out into the irradiation port 110 from the through hole 811c. The extruded coolant C fills the irradiation port 110. Thereby, the light receiving region of the skin S is cooled by the coolant C.
 なお、この場合でも、実施の形態1で説明したように、温度検出部70の検出温度が所定値以上である場合には、肌Sへの照射部50からの光の照射が禁止される。一方、温度検出部70の検出温度が、所定値未満の場合には、肌Sへの照射部50からの光の照射が許可される。 Even in this case, as described in the first embodiment, when the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is equal to or higher than a predetermined value, the irradiation of light from the irradiation unit 50 to the skin S is prohibited. On the other hand, when the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 70 is less than a predetermined value, irradiation of light from the irradiation unit 50 to the skin S is permitted.
 以上のように、変形例3に係る抑毛装置のヘッド部30Cの冷却部80cは、冷却剤Cを保冷する保冷部81cと、保冷部81c内の冷却剤Cを肌Sに向けて吐出する吐出部82cと、を備える。 As described above, the cooling unit 80c of the head unit 30C of the hair suppression device according to the modification 3 discharges the cooling agent 81c that cools the coolant C and the coolant C in the cooling unit 81c toward the skin S. A discharge portion 82c.
 これにより、冷却部80cは、吐出部82cを介して、肌Sの受光領域に対して、直接、冷却剤Cを吐出できる。そのため、保冷部81cを移動させずに、冷却剤Cで、肌Sの受光領域を確実に冷却できる。また、肌Sの受光領域は、光照射時においても、冷却剤Cに覆われている。そのため、肌Sを冷却剤Cで保護した状態で、光を照射できる。この場合、厳密には、冷却剤Cによる光の吸収などにより、Egの損失が発生する。しかしながら、通常、冷却剤Cは透明であるため、実質的には、ほとんど影響しない。 Thereby, the cooling unit 80c can discharge the coolant C directly to the light receiving region of the skin S through the discharge unit 82c. Therefore, the light receiving area of the skin S can be reliably cooled by the coolant C without moving the cold insulation portion 81c. The light receiving area of the skin S is covered with the coolant C even during light irradiation. Therefore, light can be irradiated with the skin S protected by the coolant C. In this case, strictly speaking, Eg loss occurs due to absorption of light by the coolant C or the like. However, since the coolant C is usually transparent, it has substantially no influence.
 なお、冷却部の構成は、上述の構成に限られない。例えば、空冷式、水冷式などで冷却部を構成してもよい。 The configuration of the cooling unit is not limited to the above configuration. For example, the cooling unit may be configured by air cooling, water cooling, or the like.
 [その他]
 以上、本発明に係る抑毛装置について、上記実施の形態及び変形例に基づいて説明したが、本発明は、上記実施の形態及び変形例に限定されるものではない。
[Others]
As mentioned above, although the hair suppression apparatus which concerns on this invention was demonstrated based on the said embodiment and modification, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment and modification.
 例えば、上記実施の形態では、発光ボタン42が操作されることに起因して発光信号が第二スイッチ素子462から制御部15に入力される場合を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、制御部15内において、電源のON時に、所定のタイミングで、発光信号を自動生成して、制御部15に入力する構成としてもよい。なお、この場合でも、上記実施の形態で説明したように、制御部15は、肌Sへの照射部50からの光の照射の禁止期間の場合には、発光信号を受け付けず、光の照射が禁止される。一方、光の照射の許可期間である場合には、制御部15は、発光信号を受け付け、肌Sへの照射部50からの光を照射する。 For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the light emission signal is input from the second switch element 462 to the control unit 15 due to the operation of the light emission button 42 has been described as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the control unit 15 may be configured to automatically generate a light emission signal and input the control unit 15 at a predetermined timing when the power is turned on. Even in this case, as described in the above embodiment, the control unit 15 does not accept the light emission signal and irradiates light in the prohibition period of light irradiation from the irradiation unit 50 to the skin S. Is prohibited. On the other hand, when it is a light irradiation permission period, the control unit 15 receives a light emission signal and irradiates the skin S with light from the irradiation unit 50.
 また、上記実施の形態では、一つの光源51を有する照射部50の構成を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、光源51の個数は、2つ以上でもよい。これにより、体毛の状態および状況などに応じて、例えば波長の異なる複数種類の光源を切り替えて使用できる。 In the above embodiment, the configuration of the irradiation unit 50 having one light source 51 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the number of light sources 51 may be two or more. Thereby, for example, a plurality of types of light sources having different wavelengths can be switched and used in accordance with the state and situation of body hair.
 また、上記実施の形態では、報知部として視覚的な報知を行う点灯部43を例に説明したが、これに限られない。ユーザに報知可能な構成であれば、その他の報知部を用いてもよい。その他の報知部としては、例えば聴覚的な報知を行うスピーカ、または触覚的な報知を行う振動装置などが挙げられる。さらに、種類の異なる報知部を、複数、組み合わせて用いてもよい。これにより、ユーザに、使用環境によらず、より確実で、認識しやすく、より確実な報知が可能となる。 In the above embodiment, the lighting unit 43 that performs visual notification is described as an example of the notification unit, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Other notification units may be used as long as they can be notified to the user. Examples of the other notification units include a speaker that performs auditory notification or a vibration device that performs tactile notification. Further, a plurality of different types of notification units may be used in combination. As a result, it is possible to provide more reliable notification to the user regardless of the usage environment.
 また、上記実施の形態では、電源として商用電源を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、一次電池、または二次電池などの電池を電源としてもよい。これにより、ポータブルタイプへの展開が可能となる。 In the above embodiment, a commercial power source has been described as an example of the power source, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a battery such as a primary battery or a secondary battery may be used as a power source. Thereby, development to a portable type is attained.
 また、上記実施の形態では、主要構成をハウジング21と一体的に設ける抑毛装置10の構成を例に説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、肌に対して光学的な施術を行うヘッド部と、ヘッド部に電力を供給する電力供給部とがケーブルを介して別体化された抑毛装置の構成でもよい。これにより、美容装置などとの組み合わせが容易になる。 In the above-described embodiment, the configuration of the hair suppression device 10 in which the main configuration is provided integrally with the housing 21 has been described as an example, but the configuration is not limited thereto. For example, the structure of the hair suppression apparatus by which the head part which performs optical treatment with respect to skin, and the electric power supply part which supplies electric power to a head part were separated by the cable may be sufficient. Thereby, the combination with a beauty apparatus etc. becomes easy.
 また、上記実施の形態では、抑毛専用の抑毛装置を光照射型美容装置の例として説明したが、これに限られない。例えば、抑毛機能以外の機能を有する、多機能な光照射型美容装置でもよい。その他の機能としては、例えば抑毛時よりも弱い光を肌に照射し、肌をケアする肌ケア機能などが挙げられる。さらに、抑毛機能のない光照射型美容装置でもよい。これにより、汎用の美容装置への展開が可能となる。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the hair suppression device dedicated to hair suppression has been described as an example of the light irradiation type beauty device, but is not limited thereto. For example, a multifunctional light irradiation type beauty apparatus having a function other than the hair suppression function may be used. Examples of other functions include a skin care function for irradiating the skin with light that is weaker than that during hair suppression and caring for the skin. Further, it may be a light irradiation type beauty apparatus having no hair-loss function. Thereby, the development to a general-purpose beauty apparatus becomes possible.
 その他、実施の形態及び変形例に対して当業者が思いつく各種変形を施して得られる形態や、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で実施の形態及び変形例における構成要素及び機能を任意に組み合わせることで実現される形態も本発明に含まれる。 In addition, any combination of the components and functions in the embodiment and the modification can be arbitrarily combined without departing from the gist of the present invention, and the form obtained by making various modifications conceived by those skilled in the art with respect to the embodiment and the modification. The embodiment realized by the above is also included in the present invention.
