An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the same reference numerals may be attached to the common parts in each drawing, and the description thereof may be omitted. Also, the scale of each member in each drawing may differ from the actual scale.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the state of use of beauty equipment. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the beauty device of the first embodiment.

The beauty equipment 1 is a wearable device worn by the user P, as shown in FIG. A manner in which the user P wears the beauty device 1 is not particularly limited, but the user P's head H is worn, for example. The beauty device 1 has a mounting section 10 and a stimulating section 20 .

The mounting unit 10 has a function of mounting the stimulation applying unit 20 on the user P. The structure of the mounting portion 10 is not particularly limited. The mounting part 10 has a shape to be locked on the head H of the user P. As shown in FIG. The mounting part 10 has, for example, an arch-shaped base part 11 , a fixing part 12 for fixing the stimulating part 20 , and an end part 13 . The mounting unit 10 having such a configuration can function as a headset (FIGS. 1 and 2).

Although the form of the mounting part 10 is not particularly limited, it is preferable that at least a part of the mounting part 10 is composed of an urging member. That is, a part of the mounting portion 10 may be configured with the biasing member, or the entire mounting portion 10 may be configured with the biasing member. In this embodiment, the entire mounting portion 10 is composed of a biasing member.

Also, the urging member is preferably configured so that the stimulus applying section 20 contacts the temporal region T when the user P is wearing the beauty device 1 . The material of the biasing member is not particularly limited, and for example, resin, metal, or the like can be used.

The mounting unit 10 is configured with a biasing member, and is biased against the head H of the user P in a state in which the user P is wearing the beauty device 1 . Specifically, in the mounting section 10 configured by the biasing member, when the user P wears the mounting section 10, a force is generated that causes the mounting section 10 deformed by stress to return to the state before deformation. tightening force. As a result, the wearing unit 10 is locked to the user's P part H, and the stimulus applying unit 20 is brought into contact with the temporal region T of the user.

The stimulus applying section 20 is composed of a pair (a pair of

stimulating sections

20A and 20B) and has a function of applying a stimulus to the temporal region T of the user P. In the stimulus applying section 20, for example, the stimulus applying sections 20 (the stimulus applying section 20A and the stimulus applying section 20B) are connected to each other via the mounting section 10 configured by an urging member. The pair of

stimulus applying units

20A and 20B are in contact with the temporal region T and provide stimulus to the temporal region T in the state where the user P is wearing the beauty device 1 .

The mode of stimulation by the stimulation applying unit 20 is not particularly limited, but the stimulation by the stimulation applying unit 20 may be vibration, for example. Here, vibration means physical vibration. Also, physical vibration includes sound.

The stimulus applying section 20 preferably has a plurality of contact sections that contact the temporal region T of the user P. Moreover, it is preferable that the stimulus applying section 20 has a movable section in which at least a part of the stimulus applying section is movable.

The structure of the stimulation applying unit 20 is not particularly limited. The stimulating section 20 includes a base 21, a motor housing section 22, a rotating section 23, a protrusion 24, and a rotating shaft 25, as shown in FIG.

The base 21 is, for example, circular in plan view. In the base 21, a rotating portion 23 is rotatably fixed on the side facing the temporal region T, and a motor housing portion 22 is formed on the side opposite to the side facing the temporal region T. As shown in FIG. A gear motor G is housed in the motor housing portion 22 . The gear motor G is fixed to the rotating portion 23 while passing through the base 21 . A lead wire L for supplying power from the outside is connected to the gear motor G (FIG. 3).

The rotating part 23 has a projection 24 whose tip contacts the temporal region T. The plurality of protrusions 24 are composed of six protrusions 24 arranged at approximately equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotating portion 23 . The material of the protrusions 24 is not particularly limited, but resin is used, for example. The shape of the tip of the projection 24 is not particularly limited, but since the tip of the projection 24 contacts the temporal region T of the user P, the tip of the projection 24 preferably has a curved surface. The plurality of projections 24 is an example of the plurality of contact portions provided on the stimulation applying portion in this embodiment.

The stimulation applying section 20 is configured so that the stimulation applying section 20 rotates about the center of the stimulation applying section 20 . The manner in which the stimulus applying section 20 rotates is not particularly limited. As an example of the stimulus applying unit 20, a rotating unit 23 rotates about a rotating shaft 25 driven by a gear motor G, as shown in FIG.

As a result, the plurality of protrusions 24 are in contact with the temporal region T and circularly move around the rotating shaft 25, thereby imparting stimulation (vibration) to the temporal region T. Therefore, in a configuration in which a plurality of projections 24 are in contact with the temporal region T and rotate around the rotating shaft 25, the temporal region T is subjected to complex stimulation (vibration).

Further, as another example of the stimulation applying section 20, the stimulation applying section 20 may be configured such that the center of the stimulation applying section 20 makes a circular motion, as shown in FIG. Specifically, while the rotating portion 23 is driven by the gear motor G to perform circular motion, the rotary shaft 25 itself also performs circular motion. As a result, the plurality of projections 24 rotate around the rotating shaft 25 in a circular motion while being in contact with the temporal region T, so that more complex stimulation (vibration) than the example shown in FIG. given to T.

It should be noted that the rotating section 23 is an example of a movable section in which at least a part of the stimulating section in the present embodiment is movable. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the rotating portion 23 rotates about the rotating shaft 25 while the rotating shaft 25 is in circular motion. There may be.

Also, as another example of the stimulus applying section 20, as shown in FIG. 5, it may be one that neither rotates nor circularly moves. For example, the stimulating section 20 has a base 26 and a plurality of protrusions 27, and the plurality of protrusions 27 are formed within a virtual circle VC having a diameter D on the base 26 at approximately equal intervals P (Figs. Figure 7).

The projection 27 is composed of a base portion 27A extending tapered from the base 26 and a contact portion 27B further extending from the base portion 27A and having a tip 27C contacting the temporal region T (Figs. 5 to 7). The strength of the protrusion 27 can be increased by configuring the protrusion 27 with the tapered base portion 27A. Further, the tip 27C of the contact portion 27B is curved to contact the temporal region T of the user P (FIGS. 5 and 7).

The protrusion 27 has a height H. The height H of the protrusion 27 gradually decreases toward the center CC of the virtual circle VC. The difference CL between the heights H of the protrusions 27 is maximized between the outer circumference OC and the center CC of the virtual circle VC (FIG. 7). The height H of the protrusions 27 gradually decreases toward the center CC of the virtual circle VC, so that the plurality of protrusions 27 can contact the curved surface of the temporal region T. A stimulus can be efficiently applied to the temporal region T without being movable.

The beauty device 1 further has a pad section 30. The pad portion 30 is configured as a pair (a pair of

pad portions

30A and 30B) and is brought into contact with the cheek C of the user P. As shown in FIG. As a result, the cheek C of the user P is pressed by the pad portion 30 while the user P is wearing the beauty device 1 .

The structure of the pad section 30 (the pair of

pad sections

30A and 30B) is not particularly limited. The pad section 30 includes, for example, a main body 31 and a contact surface 32 that contacts the cheek C of the user P. As shown in FIG. The material of the pad portion 30 is not particularly limited, and for example, resin, metal, or the like can be used.

The pad section 30 (a pair of

pad sections

30A and 30B) is preferably connected to the stimulation applying section 20. Specifically, the surface of the pad portion 30 opposite to the contact surface 32 of the main body 31 is attached to the end portion 13 of the mounting portion 10 to which the stimulus applying portion 20 is attached, and the connecting portion 40 (connecting

portions

40A, 40B). (Fig. 2).

Although the form of the connecting part 40 is not particularly limited, it can be configured as a hinge, for example. By configuring the connecting portion 40 with a hinge, the pad portion 30 can be tilted according to the shape of the user's P head H and cheeks C. As shown in FIG. As a result, while the user P is wearing the beauty device 1 , the cheek C of the user P is stably pressed by the pad section 30 .

The pad section 30 may have a function of stimulating the cheek C of the user P. A mode of stimulation by the pad section 30 is not particularly limited. Stimulation by the pad section 30 includes, for example, physical stimulation such as vibration and pressure, and electromagnetic stimulation such as weak current and ultrasonic waves.

As described above, the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment includes the pair of stimulation applying units 20 that apply stimulation to the temporal region T of the user P, and the mounting unit 10 that mounts the stimulation applying units 20 on the user P. Then, the stimulus imparting unit 20 imparts a stimulus to the temporal region T of the user P. FIG.

In addition, it has been reported that aging and UV exposure destabilize the structure of blood vessels and lymph, leading to a decline in circulatory function (for example, Sawane., et al., Blood vessels and lymphatics that play an important role in skin aging). Lymphatic vessels, Journal of Japanese Cosmetic Engineers, 2012.46(3): pp.188-196, and Nobuyuki Takakura, Cinnamon Method, Kadokawa SS Communications, 2010, 62p.).

In these documents, the cells that make up the skin, such as epidermal cells and fibroblasts, do not properly transport and collect oxygen and immune cells, and unnecessary waste products tend to accumulate, resulting in sagging and swelling of the skin. Suggested to lead to aging. It is considered possible to supplement such a decline in circulatory function with physical stimulation.

In addition, it is known that many nerves and blood vessels that connect to the face are concentrated in the temporal region of the human head (for example, Ralf.J.Randlanski, KarlH. 1st edition, 2nd printing, Quintessence Publishing Co., Ltd., 2018, p172-177.).

Therefore, when the temporal region is stimulated, it can be expected that the circulatory function of not only the temporal region but also the entire head will be efficiently enhanced, and the swelling of the face will be improved. The beauty device 1 of the present embodiment is obtained from such a point of view, and the stimulation applying unit 20 applies stimulation to the temporal region T of the user P, thereby improving the swelling of the user P's face, You can tighten your face.

Thus, the temporal region T of the user P can be efficiently stimulated. In addition, the stimulation applying section 20 has a movable section (rotating section 23) in which at least a part of the stimulation applying section is movable, so that the temporal region T of the user P can be stimulated more efficiently.

Further, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, the stimulus applying section 20 is configured to rotate about the center (rotational axis 25) of the stimulating section 20, so that complex stimulation can be performed. (vibration) can be applied to the temporal region T. Therefore, in the configuration in which the stimulation applying unit 20 rotates about the center of the stimulation applying unit 20 (rotational axis 25), the circulation function such as the blood flow in the head H of the cheeks of the user P is enhanced to improve the swelling of the face. You can improve the effect.

In addition, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, the stimulus applying section 20 is configured such that the center of the stimulus applying section 20 makes a circular motion, so that more complicated stimulation (vibration) can be performed. It can be applied to the temporal region T. Therefore, in the configuration in which the center of the stimulus applying unit 20 makes a circular motion, it is possible to improve the slackness by pulling up the subcutaneous temporal muscle of the temporal region T of the user P and the fascia connected to the cheek.

In addition, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, the stimulation applying units 20 in the pair of stimulation applying units 20 are connected to each other via the mounting unit 10, so that the mounting unit 10 can be used as a beauty device. 1 and the function of fixing the pair of stimulation applying parts 20 can be combined.

As shown in FIG. As a result, while the beauty device 1 is attached to the head H of the user P, the state in which the stimulus applying unit 20 is in contact with the temporal region T can be stably maintained.

Further, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, as described above, by having the pair of pad portions 30 that come into contact with the cheeks C of the user P, the stimulus imparting portion 20 pushes the temporal region T of the user P. The cheek C of the user P can be pressed with the pad section 30 while being stimulated. Thereby, in the configuration having the pair of pad portions 30 in addition to the pair of stimulation applying portions 20, the effect of lifting the temporal region T of the user P can be enhanced to improve the effect of improving the slackness of the face.

Further, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, the pad section 30 is connected to the stimulation applying section 20 as described above, so that the beauty device 1 provided with the stimulation applying section 20 and the pad section 30 can be used. It can be made compact. Further, since the pad section 30 is connected to the stimulation applying section 20, the portion between the stimulation applying section 20 that is in contact with the temporal region T and the pad section 30 that is in contact with the cheek C can be felt by the user P. The user P can stably wear the beauty device 1 (FIG. 1).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart for implementing the beauty device 1 of the embodiment. To implement the beauty device 1, steps S1 to S6 are executed.

In step S1, the user P wears the beauty device 1. Specifically, in the beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, the mounting portion 10 is locked to the head H of the user P (FIGS. 1 and 2). Moreover, in the beauty device 1 of the second embodiment, the locking portion 15 of the mounting portion 10 is locked to the ear E (FIGS. 3 and 8). As a result, the stimulus applying unit 20 of the beauty device 1 contacts the temporal region T of the user P. As shown in FIG. Moreover, when the beauty equipment 1 is provided with the pad part 30, the pad part 30 contacts the cheek C of the user P. As shown in FIG.

In step S2, the stimulation applying section 20 of the beauty device 1 is driven. By driving the stimulation applying section 20, the stimulation applying section 20 gives stimulation to the temporal region T. As shown in FIG. This step S2 is executed under the control of the control unit 60 .

It should be noted that in step S2, the intensity of driving by the stimulus applying unit 20 may be determined. Specifically, in step S2, when it is determined to weaken the drive of the stimulus applying unit 20, the stimulus applying unit 20 is applied in a weak state, and when it is decided to strengthen the driving of the stimulus applying unit 20. , the stimulus is applied while the stimulus applying unit 20 is strongly driven.

In step S3, when the beauty device 1 includes the pad section 30 and the pad section 30 has a function of stimulating the cheek C of the user P, it is determined whether to drive the pad section 30 or not.

If it is determined in step S3 to drive the pad section 30, the process proceeds to step S4, and if it is determined not to drive the pad section 30, the process proceeds to step S5. Note that step S<b>3 is executed under the control of the control unit 60 .

In step S4, when it is determined to drive the pad section 30, the pad section 30 is driven. By driving the pad section 30, the cheek C of the user P is stimulated by the pad section 30. Note that step S<b>4 is executed under the control of the control unit 60 .

In step S5, if the beauty device 1 does not include the pad section 30, or if the beauty device 1 includes the pad section 30 and it is determined not to drive the pad section 30, the stimulation applying section 20 of the beauty device 1 is driven. Decide whether to stop.

If it is determined in step S5 not to stop driving the stimulation applying section 20 of the beauty device 1, the process returns to step S2 to continue driving the stimulation applying section 20. Further, when it is determined to stop driving the stimulation applying unit 20 of the beauty device 1, the process proceeds to step S6. Note that step S<b>5 is executed under the control of the control unit 60 .

At step S6, the driving of the stimulation applying unit 20 is stopped. This completes the implementation of the beauty device 1 . Note that step S<b>6 is executed under the control of the control unit 60 .

In the present disclosure, whether or not to stop driving the stimulation applying unit 20 of the beauty device 1 is determined in step S5, but the present embodiment is not limited to such ON-OFF control of the stimulation applying unit 20. .

For example, in step S5, the intensity of driving by the stimulus applying unit 20 is determined. Specifically, when it is determined in step S5 that the stimulus applying section 20 is to be weakly driven, the process returns to step S2, and continues with the stimulus applying section 20 being weakly driven. As a result, when the user P feels uncomfortable due to excessive driving by the stimulus applying unit 20, the user P can relieve the discomfort by weakening the driving by the stimulus applying unit 20. FIG.

Also, if it is determined in step S5 that the stimulus applying unit 20 is to be strongly driven, the process returns to step S2 and continues with the stimulus applying unit 20 being strongly driven. Accordingly, when the user P feels unsatisfied with the driving by the stimulus applying unit 20 being too weak, the user P can overcome the dissatisfaction by increasing the driving by the stimulus applying unit 20 .

In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the stimulus applying section 20 may be driven by a program preprogrammed to execute a plurality of stimuli (here, three types of stimuli). Specifically, "stimulus 1 (28 vibrations)", "stimulus 2 (32 vibrations)", "stimulus 3 (29 rotations)" and "rest" are combined for several minutes each, and this is repeated seven times. . It should be noted that such multiple stimulations can be implemented in the example shown in FIG.

As described above, the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment includes the sensor unit 50 that detects the biological information of the user P and the control unit 60 that controls the stimulation applying unit 20 based on the biological information detected by the sensor unit 50. have. Thus, in the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment, the stimulus applied to the temporal region T of the user P by the stimulus applying unit 20 can be adjusted according to the change in the user's P biometric information. Therefore, with the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the effect of improving the swelling and sagging of the face by enhancing the circulation function such as the blood flow of the head H while appropriately pulling up the temporal region T of the user P. can be done.

Also, in the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment, the control unit 60 controls at least one of the stimulating unit 20 and the pad unit 30 based on the biological information detected by the sensor unit 50, as described above.

As a result, in the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment, the pad portions for the cheeks C of the user P are adjusted while the stimulation by the stimulation applying unit 20 for the temporal region T of the user P is adjusted in accordance with the change in the biometric information of the user P. 30 can be modulated. Therefore, in the beauty device 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible to further improve the effect of improving the swelling and sagging of the face by enhancing the circulation function such as the blood flow of the head H of the user P while appropriately pulling up the temporal region T. can be done.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically using experimental examples.

[Experimental example 1]
As a tester (1), a brush-like contactor was fixed to both sides of the head with a headphone-like holder, and a device was prepared to apply vibration stimulation (no pad part 30 in FIG. 2, FIGS. 5 to 7 reference). Ten healthy women (31 to 52 years old, average 42.8 years old) who gave consent were used as subjects, and the scalp blood flow was measured before and after a single use of the tester (1) for 5 minutes, quantitative evaluation of facial sagging, And self-evaluation of the slack condition by the subject himself was performed.

Scalp blood flow is obtained by cutting a part of the hair (about 5 x 5 mm) on both sides of the head (about 3 cm above the ear) from the root, and measuring that part with a two-dimensional laser blood flow imaging device (OMEGAZONE, OZ-1 (PRO )) was measured using a dedicated scalp measurement system (both manufactured by Omegawave). The measurement was performed after cutting the hair and resting for 20 minutes (before use) and after using the tester (1) for 5 minutes (after use).

　Following the measurement of scalp blood flow, the amount of sagging in the face (Sf) described in the literature information (WO2021-241475) was measured, and quantitative evaluation of sagging improvement was performed using this as an index.

At the same time, we conducted a questionnaire on facial conditions related to facial sagging (a total of 7 items: sagging cheeks, cheek skin firmness, nasolabial folds, sagging eye bags, swelling around the eyes, swelling of the entire face, and facial line condition). The subjects themselves performed self-evaluation on a 5-point scale. Statistical analysis was performed by paired t-test for scalp blood flow and intra-facial sagging (Sf), and by Wilcoxon signed-rank test for self-evaluation.

As a result of Experimental Example 1, the scalp blood flow increased significantly immediately after using the tester (1) (Fig. 14. The amount of facial sagging (Sf) decreased immediately after using the tester (1), although not significantly In addition, self-evaluation showed significant improvement in sagging cheeks and swelling around the eyes (Figs. 16 and 20). , nasolabial folds, sagging eye bags, swelling of the entire face, and condition of the face line) were also not significantly improved (Figs. 17 to 19, 21 and 22).

As a tester (2), a headphone-like holder is attached to the head, hands-free while pressing the cheek, vibration stimulation to the temporal region and masseter muscle, and rotational stimulation to the temporal region sequentially or simultaneously. A device for application was prepared (FIGS. 9 and 10).

Subjects were 16 healthy women (20-56 years old, average 42.6 years old) who gave their consent. I did a self-assessment. Quantitative evaluation of facial sagging was performed by the method described in Experimental Example 1. In the self-evaluation, the subject himself/herself self-evaluated a total of 10 items, including the 7 items described in Experimental Example 1, as well as complexion, transparency, and dullness of the entire face, on a scale of 5 in a questionnaire format. Statistical analysis was performed in the same manner as in Experimental Example 1.

As a result of Experimental Example 2, the amount of facial sagging (Sf) decreased significantly immediately after using the tester (2), and an improvement in sagging was observed (Fig. 23). In addition, in the self-evaluation, sagging cheeks, firmness of the cheek skin, nasolabial folds, sagging eye bags, swelling around the eyes, swelling of the entire face, condition of the face line, complexion of the entire face, transparency of the entire face, Significant improvement in overall facial dullness was demonstrated (Figures 24-33).
