　本実施形態では、図８、図１７、図１８に示すように、本体１０に支持される圧力センサ１３に接触面３０の接触圧Ｐを伝える接触子５０が、圧力センサ１３に接触可能な複数の突起５２を有することで、接触面３０が皮膚に接触したときに生じる接触圧Ｐを接触子５０の突起５２（突起５２１～５２５）を介して圧力センサ１３に分散して伝えることができる。そのため、接触子５０の各突起５２を介して接触圧Ｐを圧力センサ１３に伝えることができる。 In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 8, 17, and 18, a plurality of contacts 50 that transmit the contact pressure P of the contact surface 30 to the pressure sensor 13 supported by the main body 10 can contact the pressure sensor 13. By having the protrusions 52 of the above, the contact pressure P generated when the contact surface 30 comes into contact with the skin can be distributed and transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 via the protrusions 52 (projections 521 to 525) of the contactor 50. Therefore, the contact pressure P can be transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 via the protrusions 52 of the contactor 50.
　また、本実施形態では、接触面３０で生じた接触圧Ｐが接触子５０の各突起５２（突起５２１～５２５）に集中して伝わるため、接触面３０に生じた接触圧Ｐが僅かな場合でも、圧力センサ１３による接触圧Ｐの検知漏れを防ぐことができる（図８、図１７、図１８参照）。 Further, in the present embodiment, the contact pressure P generated on the contact surface 30 is concentrated and transmitted to the protrusions 52 (projections 521 to 525) of the contact 50, so that the contact pressure P generated on the contact surface 30 is small. However, it is possible to prevent the pressure sensor 13 from leaking the detection of the contact pressure P (see FIGS. 8, 17, and 18).
　さらに、図１９に示すように、接触子５０の一部に偏った接触圧Ｐが伝わって接触子５０が傾いた状態になっても（突起５２１～５２３が圧力センサ１３に接触しない場合でも）、接触子５０の各突起５２のうち圧力センサ１３に接触する一部の突起５２を介して（突起５２４、５２５が圧力センサ１３に接触して）、接触圧Ｐを圧力センサ１３に伝えることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 19, even if the contact pressure P biased to a part of the contact 50 is transmitted and the contact 50 is tilted (even when the protrusions 521 to 523 do not contact the pressure sensor 13). , The contact pressure P can be transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 through some of the protrusions 52 of the contacts 50 that come into contact with the pressure sensor 13 (the protrusions 524 and 525 come into contact with the pressure sensor 13). it can.
　また、本実施形態では、接触子５０の各突起５２の形状が圧力センサ１３に向かって先細りとなる形状を有することで、接触面３０で生じた接触圧Ｐが接触子５０の各突起５２の先端５２Ｃに集中して伝わりやすくなる。これにより、接触子５０に加わった接触圧Ｐを、接触子５０の各突起５２の先端５２Ｃから圧力センサ１３に対して確実に伝えることができる（図８～図１９参照）。 Further, in the present embodiment, the shape of each protrusion 52 of the contact 50 is tapered toward the pressure sensor 13, so that the contact pressure P generated on the contact surface 30 is the shape of each protrusion 52 of the contact 50. It is easy to concentrate on the tip 52C and transmit. As a result, the contact pressure P applied to the contact 50 can be reliably transmitted from the tip 52C of each protrusion 52 of the contact 50 to the pressure sensor 13 (see FIGS. 8 to 19).
　また、本実施形態では、接触子５０が可撓性を有することで、接触面３０に大きな接触圧Ｐが生じた場合でも、圧力センサ１３に対して過剰な接触圧Ｐが伝わるのを抑制することができる。また、接触面３０に偏った接触圧Ｐが生じた場合でも、圧力センサ１３に対してムラなく接触圧Ｐを伝えることができる。さらに、接触子５０が弾性変形することで、接触子５０が接触することによる圧力センサ１３のダメージをさらに少なくすることができる（図８、図１８、図１９参照）。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the contactor 50 has flexibility, even when a large contact pressure P is generated on the contact surface 30, the excessive contact pressure P is suppressed from being transmitted to the pressure sensor 13. be able to. Further, even when a contact pressure P unevenly generated on the contact surface 30, the contact pressure P can be transmitted evenly to the pressure sensor 13. Further, the elastic deformation of the contactor 50 makes it possible to further reduce the damage to the pressure sensor 13 due to the contact of the contactor 50 (see FIGS. 8, 18, and 19).
　さらに、本実施形態では、上述のように突起５２の先端５２Ｃが圧力センサ１３に対して所与の距離Ｄだけ離間するように接触子５０を配置することで、接触面３０が皮膚に接触していないときの圧力センサ１３による誤検知を防ぐことができる。また、このようにすることで、接触面３０が皮膚に接触したときだけ接触子５０の先端５２Ｃが圧力センサ１３に接触するので、接触面３０に生じた接触圧Ｐを接触子５０の各突起５２の先端５２Ｃから圧力センサ１３に対して確実に伝えることができる（図８、図１７、図１８参照）。 Further, in the present embodiment, the contact surface 30 comes into contact with the skin by arranging the contactor 50 so that the tip 52C of the protrusion 52 is separated from the pressure sensor 13 by a given distance D as described above. It is possible to prevent erroneous detection by the pressure sensor 13 when the pressure sensor 13 is not installed. Further, by doing so, the tip 52C of the contactor 50 comes into contact with the pressure sensor 13 only when the contact surface 30 comes into contact with the skin, so that the contact pressure P generated on the contact surface 30 is applied to each protrusion of the contactor 50. It can be reliably transmitted from the tip 52C of 52 to the pressure sensor 13 (see FIGS. 8, 17, and 18).
　図２０は、第２実施形態に係る美容機器を構成する接触子の一部（突起）の断面図である。第２実施形態の美容機器では、突起５２の先端５２Ｃが曲面Ｒになっている。ここで、曲面Ｒとは、突起５２の先端５２Ｃが球面の一部であることを示す。 FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of a part (protrusion) of contacts constituting the beauty device according to the second embodiment. In the beauty device of the second embodiment, the tip 52C of the protrusion 52 has a curved surface R. Here, the curved surface R indicates that the tip 52C of the protrusion 52 is a part of a spherical surface.
　本実施形態では、突起５２の先端５２Ｃを曲面Ｒにすることで、接触子５０の先端５２Ｃが圧力センサ１３に対して滑らかに接触することができる（図２０）。これにより、接触子５０が接触することによる圧力センサ１３のダメージを少なくすることができる。 In the present embodiment, by making the tip 52C of the protrusion 52 a curved surface R, the tip 52C of the contactor 50 can smoothly contact the pressure sensor 13 (FIG. 20). As a result, damage to the pressure sensor 13 due to contact with the contactor 50 can be reduced.
　＜接触子＞

The contactor according to the present embodiment is a contactor 50 that transmits the contact pressure P of the contact surface 30 that comes into contact with the skin to the pressure sensor 13, and has a plurality of protrusions 52 that can contact the pressure sensor 13 (FIGS. 9 to 9). FIG. 17). As such a contactor 50, a contactor 50 that constitutes a part of the above-mentioned beauty device 1 can be used (see FIGS. 1 to 8).
　本実施形態では、圧力センサ１３に接触面３０の接触圧Ｐを伝える接触子５０が、圧力センサ１３に接触可能な複数の突起５２を有することにより、上述の美容機器１における接触子５０と同様に、接触面３０が皮膚に接触したときに生じる接触圧Ｐを、接触子５０の各突起５２（突起５２１～５２５）を介して圧力センサ１３に分散して伝えることができる。そのため、接触子５０の各突起５２を介して接触圧Ｐを圧力センサ１３に確実に伝えることができる（図１７、図１８参照）。 In the present embodiment, the contactor 50 that transmits the contact pressure P of the contact surface 30 to the pressure sensor 13 has a plurality of protrusions 52 that can contact the pressure sensor 13, so that the contactor 50 is similar to the contactor 50 in the beauty device 1 described above. In addition, the contact pressure P generated when the contact surface 30 comes into contact with the skin can be distributed and transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 via the protrusions 52 (projections 521 to 525) of the contactor 50. Therefore, the contact pressure P can be reliably transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 via the protrusions 52 of the contactor 50 (see FIGS. 17 and 18).

However, it is possible to prevent the pressure sensor 13 from leaking the detection of the contact pressure P (see FIGS. 17 and 18).
　さらに、図１９に示すように、接触子５０の一部に偏った接触圧Ｐが伝わり、接触子５０が傾いた状態になっても（突起５２１～５２３が圧力センサ１３に接触しない場合でも）、圧力センサ１３に接触する接触子５０の一部の突起５２を介して（突起５２４、５２５が圧力センサ１３に接触して）、接触圧Ｐを圧力センサ１３に対して確実に伝えることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 19, even if the contact pressure P biased to a part of the contact 50 is transmitted and the contact 50 is tilted (even when the protrusions 521 to 523 do not contact the pressure sensor 13). , The contact pressure P can be reliably transmitted to the pressure sensor 13 through some protrusions 52 of the contactor 50 that come into contact with the pressure sensor 13 (the protrusions 524 and 525 come into contact with the pressure sensor 13). ..
　本実施形態に係る接触子５０において、複数の突起５２の形状は、任意であるが、圧力センサ１３に向かって先細りとなる形状を有するのが好ましい（図９～図１１、図１４～図１７参照）。このような接触子５０には、上述の美容機器１の一部を構成する接触子５０を用いることができる（図１～図８参照）。 In the contactor 50 according to the present embodiment, the shape of the plurality of protrusions 52 is arbitrary, but it is preferable that the contactor 50 has a shape that tapers toward the pressure sensor 13 (FIGS. 9 to 11 and 14 to 17). reference). As such a contactor 50, a contactor 50 that constitutes a part of the above-mentioned beauty device 1 can be used (see FIGS. 1 to 8).
　本実施形態では、接触子５０の各突起５２の形状が圧力センサ１３に向かって先細りとなる形状を有することで、上述の美容機器１における接触子５０と同様に、接触面３０で生じた接触圧Ｐが接触子５０の各突起５２の先端５２Ｃに集中して伝わりやすくなる。これにより、接触子５０に加わった接触圧Ｐを、接触子５０の各突起５２の先端５２Ｃから圧力センサ１３に対して確実に伝えることができる（図８～図１９参照）。 In the present embodiment, the shape of each protrusion 52 of the contactor 50 has a shape that tapers toward the pressure sensor 13, so that the contact generated on the contact surface 30 is similar to the contactor 50 in the beauty device 1 described above. The pressure P is easily transmitted to the tip 52C of each protrusion 52 of the contactor 50. As a result, the contact pressure P applied to the contact 50 can be reliably transmitted from the tip 52C of each protrusion 52 of the contact 50 to the pressure sensor 13 (see FIGS. 8 to 19).
