〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings showing embodiments.

FIG. 1 shows a cross section of a main part of a processing probe 20 of the complex cosmetic processing apparatus according to the present invention. The main part includes a main body 1, a cap 2, and a temperature raising part 4. Body 1
Is made of non-conductive and lightweight plastic in this embodiment, and a part thereof is configured as a grip 22 so that a beauty treatment can be easily performed by grasping the hand. As shown, the main body 1 has an opening 19 through which the electrode pipe 3 of the temperature raising section 4 is penetrated and held. Further, a trumpet-shaped cap 3 is attached and fixed to the extended end of the pipe 3 with the end holding the pipe 3 at the center by an insulator 5 being open. The cap 3 is made of an insulating material such as plastic, ceramics, glass, or the like. It is preferable that the tip of the cap 3 be made of a soft insulating material, for example, soft polyvinyl chloride, Teflon, or the like, so that the cap 3 is in close contact with the skin. is there. A conductive thick film or thin film 12 is attached to a part or the front surface of the inner or outer surface of the cap 3 to expose the conductive film at the tip of the wrapper.

The electrode pipe 3 of the temperature-raising section 4 has a disk-shaped room for accommodating the heating element 13 which is merely implicitly provided at the tip thereof, and a detachable lid 14 for partitioning the room is attached. The heating element 13 is a well-known element, and can be formed of, for example, a nichrome wire, a sheath heater plate, a thin-film resistance element, an infrared lamp, or the like which is insulated and sealed from the surroundings. The electrode pipe 3 is a hollow conductive material, and is preferably made of stainless steel having relatively poor heat conductivity. In order to further reduce heat conduction, the wall thickness is as thin as possible, for example, 0.3 mm
It is made thick. The other end of the electrode pipe 3 penetrates through the opening 19 of the probe body 1 and goes out to the outside. At the end, a joint 7 is hermetically sealed and detachably connected to a flexible and flexible vacuum conduit 6. A plurality of openings 11 are formed in a portion of the electrode pipe 3 facing the cap 2. Therefore, the air in the space between the cap 2 and the electrode pipe 3 can be exhausted from the vacuum conduit 6 via these openings 11.

The insulator 5 is made of an easily insulating organic insulating material such as delrin or Teflon, or an insulating material such as ceramics, for example, alumina, and is used to fix and hold the electrode pipe 3 on the center axis of the cap 2. Has been
At the same time, it is used to maintain vacuum tightness. That is, although not shown in the figure to avoid complication, the space between the cap 2 and the insulator 5 and the space between the electrode pipe 3 and the insulator 5 are hermetically sealed by an O-ring groove and an O-ring. Stopped.

The electric wiring in the probe 20 will be described. First
In the figures, the electrical conductors are shown only schematically to avoid complexity. All the electric wires from the main power supply to the probe 20 are input via the electric wire terminal 17 and are connected to various parts from the terminal 17 via the electric wires 18. The detailed electric wiring will be described with reference to FIG. 3, but the main electric wiring points in the probe 20 are as follows: (1) The tip (heating part 4) of the electrode pipe 3 and the cap 2
(2) heating power applied to the heating element 13; (3) a switch 16 for remote operation; and (4) a sensor for detecting the temperature of the temperature raising section 4.

With respect to the stimulation potential, one potential is introduced to the tip of the cap 3 by a conductive foil (not shown) attached to a part or the whole of the inner or outer surface of the cap 2 via the conductive wire 8. The other potential is supplied to the tip of the temperature raising unit 4 via the electrode pipe 3 (to be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3).

Regarding the heating power, one of the electric wires reaches the heater terminal 15 via the heater lead wire 9, the guide pin (no reference numeral) of the insulator 5 and the heater lead wire 10 on the vacuum space side as shown in the figure. , For example, is supplied to a heating element 13 embedded in an insulating sheet. The other electrical conductor is not shown for simplicity, but can be made in the same manner as above.

Although only one switch 16 is shown in FIG. 1 for simplicity, the number of switches between one and three can be selected. It depends on the design philosophy as explained in FIG.

Regarding the temperature sensor, this part is not shown in FIG. 1, but a thermo-sensitive element, for example, a thermocouple such as copper constant is connected in the same path as the power supply to the heating element 13 in (1). Of course, in that case, the heat-sensitive element is in contact with the temperature-raising section 4. Incidentally, the cosmetic treatment probe according to the present invention can be used without temperature control. In that case, no heat-sensitive element is provided.

FIG. 2 shows a composite cosmetic treatment probe 20 according to the present invention.
Are schematically illustrated. In this case, the skin
The state where the probe 20 is applied to 30 and the chamber 20 is evacuated is shown. Due to this exhaust, a part 38 of the skin 30 is drawn into the vacuum space side between the cap 2 and the temperature-raising section 4, and is strongly curved as shown in the figure. Therefore, the voltage applied to the outer electrode 12 and the temperature raising section 4 flows intensively in the area of the local skin 38.
The local skin 38 of the skin 30 is under strong tension at this location, and the cosmetic effect is further enhanced.

Further, what is important in this embodiment is that the probe tip is equipped with internal and external permanent magnets 32 and 34, respectively. Otherwise, it is the same as FIG. 1, and so the same reference numbers are used. Although the method of fixing the internal magnet 32 attached to the electrode pipe 3 is not shown,
For example, it can be easily fixed using a fastening ring or the like. The external magnet 34 can be easily fixed by a rubber elastic fixing member.
For these permanent magnets 32 and 34, it is effective to use ferrite magnet disks which are lightweight, have relatively strong magnetic force, and can withstand temperature. It is effective if the magnetization directions are magnetized in the axial direction as shown in the figure, and the magnetization directions of both magnets are reversed.

FIG. 3 shows a block circuit diagram of a main power supply 50 for using the composite cosmetic treatment probe according to the present invention, and an electric operation unit 40 on the relevant probe side.

In this embodiment, a thermocouple is attached to the electric operation unit 40 on the probe side.
TC (not shown in FIG. 1), heater R0
(Corresponding to the heating element 13 in FIG. 1), a potential application electrode EL
T (in the case of FIG. 1, one electrode is an external electrode 12 and the other electrode is equivalent to the heating section 4) and a switch group for remote control
It is composed of S0, S1, and S2. As already mentioned, electrode EL
As for T, one is commonly used with the same power supply line as the heater R0, and only the other, that is, only the electrode of the cap 3, is directly introduced from the main power supply. According to the present invention, the electrical stimulation is applied to a desired portion of the skin to which the probe is applied and a part of the body, for example, an arm,
Or between the clamp CL clamped on the ankle and / or
Alternatively, this may be performed by applying a negative DC voltage, or by applying an AC voltage between the outer electrode 12 of the skin to which the probe 20 has been applied and the heating section 4. Details and effects of the processing will be described later.

The switch S0 is a switch that determines whether to apply the above-described applied voltage. The switch S1 is a switch for determining whether or not to exhaust the space between the cap 3 and the temperature raising unit 4. Also,
The switch S2 is a switching switch used to switch an inversion switch SR provided on the main power supply 50 side to invert the polarity when the power applied between the electrode ETL and the clamp CL is a DC voltage. The switch S3 applies the applied voltage to both electrodes ELT of the clamp CL and the probe 2 or the two electrodes ELT
Only to make a choice. As can be seen from the switch SC in FIG. 3, the contact position of the triple switch on the one hand (in the case shown) is separated between the electrodes ELT, and in this mode the alternating voltage is applied to the electrodes ELT from the potential supply. Supplied. At the other contact position (opposite case shown), since both electrodes ELT are conducting, one potential is applied and the other potential is applied to clamp CL. This mode is used to apply a DC voltage from the potential power supply PT. The polarity of the DC voltage is determined by switching the inversion switch SR. Note that the above switches S0, S1, S
One or two of S2 and S3 may be disposed in the probe operation unit 40, and the remaining switches may be placed in the main power supply 50 or other places (for example, as foot switches).

The main configuration of the main power supply 50 includes an amplifier circuit 52 that amplifies the output voltage of the thermocouple TC, a temperature display unit 54 for digitally displaying the temperature output, a heater power supply HT that supplies power to the heater R0, Potential power supply PT for applying potential to electrode ELT
, A pump for vacuum exhaust, for example, an exhaust system VC including a rotary pump, a compressor for compressed air sent to the probe, and a sequence circuit SQ. This sequence circuit SQ receives the contact signals of the switches S0, S1, S2, S3,
Operate the predetermined switches SC and SR, the vacuum valve V2, the compressed air valve V3, and the on-off valve V1 that performs vacuum evacuation or compressed air delivery, and operate the potential power supply PT with a DC voltage or an AC voltage. Make a selection. The entire apparatus according to the present invention is generally controlled according to the program of the sequence circuit SQ and the contact signals of the switches S0 to S3.

The heater power supply HT keeps the heat generating section 4 at a predetermined temperature by a temperature variable resistor RT for temperature setting. In this case, to maintain the temperature, a temperature signal is introduced from the thermocouple TC from the amplifier circuit 52, and negative feedback such as thyristor control is used. In a configuration in which the thermal element is not provided, needless to say, the amplifier 52 and the temperature display section are unnecessary, so that a configuration in which the main power supply 50 is not provided is also possible. In this case, the temperature rise is determined in balance with the discharge of heat to the surroundings.

The applied voltage is set by the voltage variable resistor RV with the potential power supply PT.
Control. One of the outputs from the power supply PT is directly introduced into the operation unit 40 of the probe via the inversion switch SR,
The other is connected to one terminal of the heater power supply via the safety resistor RA. The exhaust system VC communicates with the vacuum conduit 6 shown in FIG. 1 and can be remotely operated by a switch S1 in the exhaust passage on the side of the main power supply 50, and can shut off the passage and introduce air into the passage. Equipped with an on-off valve V1 that can be operated electromagnetically.

The shape and dimensions of the main part of the probe 20 are suitable for the prevention and removal of wrinkles and cosmetics on a relatively narrow area of the skin.
The outer shape of the cap 2 as viewed from the axial direction is circular and has a diameter of 4 to
About 6 cm is desirable, and in the case of slimming for treating a relatively wide range of skin, the shape of the cap may be elliptical instead of circular, and the maximum diameter is preferably about 10 to 20 cm. .

The procedure for using the complex beauty treatment apparatus according to the present invention is as follows.

(1) Turn on the heater power supply HT, and thereafter maintain the temperature raising section 4 at a predetermined temperature.

(2) Next, the probe is lightly applied to a desired portion of the skin, and the clamp CL is attached to a part of the body (for example, the arm and the ankle are clamped by the clamp CL). And
First, the on-off solenoid valve V1 and the solenoid valve V3 are opened, and compressed air is sent from the compressor CP to the probe 20 via the conduit 6. In this case, it is advantageous that the gas flow is intermittent, and not only removes dust and the like on the skin surface but also performs a kind of pine surge.

(3) The changeover switch SC is switched to a contact position where both ends of the electrode ELT are connected. Next, the reversing switch SR is switched to a contact position where the probe 20 side has a negative voltage with respect to the clamp CL, so that pores at desired portions of the skin are opened.

(4) The vacuum switch S1 is turned on, and the portion of the skin to which the probe 20 has been applied is sucked and exhausted.

(5) Next, the on-off valve V1 is closed, air is introduced into the probe portion, the probe is removed, and a desired lotion or lotion is applied to the skin.

(6) Next, the probe 20 is again applied to the desired position on the skin, and the changeover switch SC is switched to the contact position shown in FIG. 3, so that the electrode ELT is interposed between the electrodes ELT (that is, the outer electrode 12 in FIG. 1 or 2). An AC potential of the potential power source PT or a predetermined pulsed potential is applied to the heating unit 4). With this procedure, the skin receives electrical stimulation (electric pine surge).

(7) Finally, the changeover switch SC is switched to the contact position opposite to the state shown in FIG. 3, and the reversing switch SR is further switched to make the potential of the probe 20 positive with respect to the clamp CL. This procedure tightens the pores.

The above beauty treatment procedure consists of the sequence circuit SQ and the main power supply
It can be set by 50 external operation units (for example, variable resistances RT, RV, etc., and the rest are not shown). Main power supply shown in Fig. 3
Apart from 50, embodiments without a compressor are also conceivable. In this case, the compressed air is not blown during the procedure (2). Further, if necessary, the above (1) to
The procedures up to (7) can be used alone or in combination.

In the above-described complex beauty treatment, typical conditions in various use modes and the effects obtained at that time are as shown in the table below.

The specific numerical values described in this table should use appropriate values according to the user, and are not limited to the above numerical values.

Finally, various simplifications have been made in the illustrated embodiment to facilitate explanation. Its outer shape is not limited to that shown, for example, the grip 12 may be oriented in the axial direction, or, in particular, in the case of a large probe, may have grips on both sides perpendicular to the axial direction. You may.

In addition, it is apparent that various modifications can be made to the device having the features defined in the claims.

〔The invention's effect〕

The remarkable advantages of the complex cosmetic treatment apparatus according to the present invention are as follows.

(1) Since the beauty treatment using suction, heating and electricity is performed simultaneously, a stronger effect can be obtained than when these treatments are individually performed.

(2) In particular, the suction treatment concentrates electricity introduction to a desired portion of the skin, and enables a local and effective treatment.

(3) In particular, the effect of the cosmetic treatment is effective because the electric pine surge and the application of the serum can be performed almost simultaneously.

(4) The overall size of the device is smaller than that of an individually manufactured device, and the installation location can be reduced.

(5) The price of the device as a whole is lower than that of the device manufactured individually.
