  In the beauty device according to the present invention, the cylindrical head case 20 fixed to the main body case 1, the heat transfer body 21 that closes the outer opening of the head case 20, the heating structure provided inside the head case 20, etc. A head 2 was constructed. Further, the cylinder cross-sectional area of the head case 20 was set so as to decrease from the outer opening side toward the mounting base 24 side. Thus, if the cylinder cross-sectional area of the head case 20 is set so small that it approaches the main body case 1, the cylinder cross-sectional area decreases as the heat generated in the heat generating structure moves to the main body case 1 side. Can be regulated. Therefore, the heat of the heat generating structure can be effectively conducted to the skin surface through the heat transfer body 21 and the thermal efficiency in the thermal head 2 can be improved.

  Moreover, if the main cylinder wall part 22 and the outer cylinder wall part 23 comprise the head case 20 and the main cylinder wall part 22 is formed in an expanded cylindrical shape toward the outer opening side, the heat of the heat transfer body 21 is increased. Conduction to the main body case 1 side through the head case 20 can be more effectively regulated by the expanded cylindrical portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the internal temperature of the main body case 1 from becoming abnormally high and to prevent the electrical components and the like disposed inside the main body case 1 from being overheated.

  The heat generation structure includes a heater frame 34, a heater holder 35, a heater unit 36, and the like. Further, the head case 20, the seat wall 13 a of the mounting seat 13, and the fastening seat 40 of the heater frame 34 are fastened and fixed together with a fastener 61, and the heater unit 36 is sandwiched between the heat transfer body 21 and the heater holder 35. Fix it. Thus, when the head case 20 supporting the heat transfer body 21, the heater holder 35 supporting the heater unit 36, and the heater frame 34 are fastened together, the heater unit 36 is firmly fixed by the heat transfer body 21 and the heater holder 35. Can be pinched and fixed. Therefore, the heat generated by the heater unit 36 can be more efficiently conducted to the heat transfer body 21.

  When the heat insulating surface wall 38 is provided on the heater frame 34, the heat of the heater unit 36 can be prevented from moving toward the heater frame 34 through the heater holder 35 by the heat insulating surface wall 38. Therefore, it is possible to prevent heat transfer inside the head case 20 and further reliably prevent the internal temperature of the main body case 1 from rising.

  Further, if the surface wall 38 for heat insulation is arranged on the inner surface of the main cylinder wall portion 22 near the mounting base 24 and the inside of the head case 20 is divided into the inside and the outside, the flow of heated air is blocked by the surface wall 38 and heat is generated. It is possible to prevent the heat of the structure from moving to the main body case 1 side. In addition, since the surface wall 38 is disposed on the inner surface of the main cylindrical wall portion 22 near the mounting base 24, that is, a portion having a small cross-sectional area, the surface wall 38 can be reduced in size and the cost required for manufacturing the heater frame 34 can be saved.

  When the vibrator 50 is mounted and fixed on the mounting portion 45 provided in the heater holder 35, the vibrator 50 can be assembled using the heater holder 35, so that the heating structure is simplified as compared with the case where a dedicated holder is prepared. be able to. Moreover, since the vibrator 50 can be arrange | positioned in the immediate vicinity of the heat-transfer body 21 which contacts a skin surface, a skin surface can be vibrated effectively with the vibrator 50. FIG.

  When the vibrator 50 is sandwiched and fixed between the heater holder 35 and the heater frame 34 fastened by the second fastener 61, the vibrating vibrator 50 can be firmly fixed without any room for movement due to its own vibration. Therefore, the vibration of the vibrator 50 can be accurately output to the heat transfer body 21 via the heater holder 35 and the heater unit 36.

  When the heater holder 35 is provided with a disk-shaped mounting wall 44 and a mounting portion 45 for a vibrator, and the periphery of the vibrator 50 is covered with the mounting wall 44 and the soundproof wall 48 of the mounting portion 45, vibration generated in the vibrator 50 Noise can be prevented from leaking out of the head case 20. Therefore, despite having the vibrator 50, it is possible to obtain a beauty instrument that is quiet and excellent in quietness.

  When an elastic sheet 37 having thermal conductivity is disposed between the heater holder 35 and the heater unit 36 and the heat transfer body 21, vibrations generated by the vibrator 50 generate chatter noise in adjacent portions of the members. The elastic sheet 37 can absorb this. Therefore, it is possible to further improve the quietness of the beauty tool while reliably transmitting the vibration generated by the vibrator 50 to the heat transfer body 21 via the elastic sheet 37.

  When the vibrator 50 is constituted by the motor 51 and the eccentric weight 52 and the heat transfer surface 21a of the heat transfer body 21 is vibrated in a direction orthogonal to the heat transfer surface 21a by the vibration generated by the vibrator 50, the skin surface is Effectively beating can improve the beauty effect. In particular, when performing a cosmetic treatment while applying current stimulation for ion introduction or ion derivation to the skin surface, the cosmetic effect can be improved by hitting the skin surface in a direction orthogonal to the heat transfer surface 21a.

  In the beauty device provided with the cooling unit 3, when the long-axis heat sink 72 that is long in the vertical direction is disposed along the case axis in the vertically long main body case 1, the thermoelectric conversion element 70 is transferred to the heat sink 72. The conducted heat can be effectively dissipated. Therefore, it is possible to reliably supply cold heat by the thermoelectric conversion element 70 and appropriately perform cosmetic treatment by the cold heat unit 3.

  Further, when the heat sink 72 is constituted by the plate-wall-shaped sink base 88 and a large number of heat radiation protrusions 89 and 90, and the heat radiation protrusions 89 and 90 are formed vertically long along the case axis of the main body case 1, they are long vertically. The heat of the heat sink 72 can be effectively radiated using the internal space of the main body case 1 effectively. Therefore, the cold heat can be more reliably supplied by the thermoelectric conversion element 70 and the cosmetic treatment by the cold heat unit 3 can be appropriately performed.

  If the vertical length H2 of the heat sink 72 is set to be more than half of the vertical length H1 of the main body case 1, the surface area of the heat sink 72 in the main body case 1 is made sufficiently large, and the thermoelectric conversion element 70 The heat conducted from the heat sink 72 to the heat sink 72 can be dissipated more effectively.

  After the cooling head 71, the holder 73, and the heat sink 72 are integrated into a unit part, the left and right sides and the lower part of the upper portion of the heat sink 72 are fastened and fixed to the main body case 1 with the fifth fastener 99, the heat of the heat sink 72 is cooled. Heat can be conducted to the main body case 1 at a position as far as possible from the head 71. This is because both the left and right sides of the upper part of the heat sink 72 are fastened and fixed to the main body case 1 via the holder 73, so that there is little heat conduction to the main body case 1 and there is little influence on the cooling head 71. Further, since the lower side of the heat sink 72 is fastened to the main body case 1 with a fastener 99, heat can be conducted and dissipated at a position far away from the cooling head 71. Therefore, heat can be effectively radiated while suppressing the influence of heat on the cooling head 71.

  When the metal heat sink 104 is disposed on the main body case 1 facing the heat sink 72, the heat conducted from the heat sink 72 to the main body case 1 is efficiently released from the heat sink 104 having a higher thermal conductivity than the main body case 1. it can. Thereby, the temperature of the main body case 1 around the heat radiating plate 104 or the temperature inside the case can be accurately reduced.

  If the majority lower part of the heat sink 72 is opposed to the inner wall of the main body case 1 through the gap E, and the gap E is set smaller than the case thickness of the main body case 1, the main body case 1 is locally heated. While avoiding, the heat of the heat sink 72 can be effectively conducted to the main body case 1 side by radiation. This is because, for example, when the heat sink 72 is in close contact with the main body case 1, the case temperature in contact with the heat sink 72 tends to be higher than others, and when the value of the gap E is larger than necessary, This is because the heat released from the heat sink 72 tends to stay inside the case without being released outside the case through the main body case 1.

  When the heat radiating section 95 is formed between the heat sink 72 and the main body case 1 and the heat radiating port 103 is formed in the case wall of the main body case 1 facing the section 95, outside air is taken into the heat radiating section 95 through the heat radiating port 103. Therefore, heat exchange between the heat sink 72 and the outside air can be effectively performed. Accordingly, the heat released from the heat sink 72 can be prevented from being trapped inside the main body case 1. Further, since the temperature difference between the heat receiving portion 93 in contact with the thermoelectric conversion element 70 and the heat sink 72 facing the heat radiation section 95 can be increased, the heat to be radiated is conducted to the heat radiation section 95 at the shortest distance. Can be radiated accurately. Further, since the contact portion of the annular wall 94 is sealed with the packing 102, dust, water, cosmetic liquid, etc. that have entered the heat radiating section 95 together with the outside air enter the space in the case around the heat radiating section 95. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate failures caused by the adhesion of dust, such as short circuits and malfunctions in electrical circuits.

  When the recess 105 is formed in the sink base 88 facing the heat radiating section 95, the surface area of the sink base 88 can be increased to promote the heat radiating action of the heat sink 72, and the heat releasing action by the heat radiating section 95 can be further improved.

  If the heat dissipating fins 90 and the recesses 105 are alternately formed on the sink base 88 facing the heat dissipating section 95, the surface area of the heat release portion in the heat dissipating section 95 can be increased. The heat release effect can be further improved.

  When the annular wall 94 is formed integrally with the metal heat sink 72, the structural strength of the annular wall 94 is enhanced and subjected to a drop impact or the like as compared with the case where the annular wall 94 is integrated with the main body case 1. 94 can be prevented from being damaged.

  When a weak pulse current is supplied to the skin surface through the human body between the skin electrode 32 and the grip electrode 11 provided in the main body case 1 by using the heat transfer body 21 as a skin electrode 32, a thermal stimulus or a cool stimulus It is possible to carry out beauty treatments such as ion introduction and ion derivation. Therefore, it is possible to provide a beauty device that can perform various and more effective beauty treatments compared to this type of conventional beauty device.

  The vibrator 50 includes a motor 51 and an eccentric weight 52 that is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 51. The vibrator 50 is fixed to the heater holder 35 by mounting the motor holder 53 fitted on the motor 51 inside the soundproof wall 48. The vibrator 50 in a state where the heater frame 34 and the heater holder 35 are assembled to the main body case 1 is fixed to the mounting portion 45 so that the central axis of the motor 51 is parallel to the heat transfer surface 21 a of the heat transfer body 21. . Therefore, the main direction of vibration generated by the vibrator 50 is a direction orthogonal to the heat transfer surface 21 a of the heat transfer body 21. That is, when the heat transfer surface 21a is vibrated in the direction orthogonal to the heat transfer surface 21a by the vibration generated by the vibrator 50, the heat transfer body 21 is subjected to the cosmetic treatment. The heat transfer surface 21a can be vibrated by hitting the skin surface.

  The heater unit 36 includes a circular planar heater 56 and a pair of electrode plates 57 and 58 that sandwich the planar heater 56 from inside and outside. The planar heater 56 is composed of a PTC heater. The electrode plate 58 accommodated in the heater recess 47 is provided with three spring arms 59, and these spring arms 59 press and urge the planar heater 56 toward the electrode plate 57. The outer electrode plate 57 holds the planar heater 56 in position by the engagement claw 60 at the periphery thereof being engaged with the periphery of the mounting wall 44 of the heater holder 35, and the range of the claw length of the engagement claw 60. Can move in the thickness direction. The elastic sheet 37 is made of silicone rubber having a high thermal conductivity, and is disposed between the outer electrode plate 57 and the heat transfer body 21 to conduct the heat of the heater unit 36 to the heat transfer body 21, and the vibrator. The vibration generated at 50 is transmitted to the heat transfer body 21.

  The thermal head 2 is assembled to the front case 1a as follows. The heater unit 36, the elastic sheet 37, and the vibrator 50 are assembled to the heater holder 35, and the heater frame 34 and the heater holder 35 are fastened with screws (second fasteners) 61 screwed into the screw bosses 46, and unit parts. A heat generation structure is obtained. In this state, the motor holder 53 is securely clamped and fixed between the heater holder 35 and the heater frame 34 (see FIG. 6). The mounting base 24 of the head case 20 is fitted and fixed to the mounting seat 13 from the outer surface of the front case 1a, and the heat generating structure formed as a unit part is inserted into the head case 20 from the inner surface side of the front case 1a. Thirty-four fastening seats 40 are temporarily assembled while being joined to the inner surface of the seat wall 13a of the mounting seat 13.

  Next, by screwing a screw (third fastener) 63 inserted through the fastening seat 40 and the seat wall 13a into a screw boss 27 provided on the inner surface of the head case 20, the head case 20, the seat wall 13a, and the heater frame 34 are inserted. The fastening seat 40 is fastened and fixed together. In the head case 20 fixed to the main body case 1, most of the main cylindrical wall portion 22 protrudes to the front (outer surface) of the main body case 1, and the cylinder center axis is slightly inclined obliquely upward. A space between the main cylindrical wall portion 22 of the head case 20 and the mounting seat 13 of the main body case 1 is sealed with an O-ring 62 fitted into the outer surface of the main cylindrical wall portion 22.

  As described above, in the fastening state in which the head case 20 and the heat generating structure are integrated with the main body case 1, the surface wall 38 of the heater frame 34 is located on the inner surface of the main cylindrical wall portion 22 of the head case 20 near the mounting base 24. Thus, the inside of the head case 20 is divided into inside and outside. Thereby, it can prevent as much as possible that the air heated with the heater unit 36 flows into the main body case 1 side. That is, the face wall 38 functions as a partition wall for heat insulation that prevents the movement of heated air, and prevents heat transfer inside the head case 20.

  Further, in the previous fastening state, the heater unit 36 and the elastic sheet 37 are sandwiched and fixed by the heat transfer body 21 and the mounting wall 44 of the heater holder 35. The heater unit 36 in this state is received by the end wall of the heat transfer body 21 via the elastic sheet 37, and the spring arm 59 of the inner electrode plate 58 is slightly elastically deformed. It is pressed against. Therefore, the latching claw 60 of the outer electrode plate 57 is separated from the rear surface side of the peripheral edge of the mounting wall 44 of the heater holder 35 as shown in FIG. There is room for moving toward the heat transfer body 21 side. As described above, the electrode plate 57 is supported so as to be movable outward when the heat transfer body 21 is heated by the heater unit 36 and thermally expands outward. This is because the heat transfer to the heat transfer body 21 is performed accurately.

  As described above, when the heater unit 36 is provided inside the thermal head 2, the heat of the planar heater 56 may flow and move toward the main body case 1 via the heat transfer body 21 and the head case 20. is there. However, if the main cylinder wall portion 22 is formed in a bell mouth shape with a constricted portion, the cylinder cross-sectional area of the head case 20 is directed from the outer opening side of the outer cylinder wall portion 23 toward the mounting base portion 24 side. Therefore, the amount of heat conducted to the main body case 1 side can be reduced. Therefore, the heat transfer body 21 can be efficiently heated by the planar heater 56.

(Structure of the cold part)
1 and 8, the cooling unit 3 includes a square Peltier element (thermoelectric conversion element) 70, a cooling head 71 arranged on the outer surface (one side) of the Peltier element 70 to output cooling, and a Peltier element 70. The heat sink 72 is disposed on the inner surface (other surface) and emits heat. The Peltier element 70 is supported by an element holder 73, and a heat transfer sheet 74 is attached to each of the cold and hot surfaces. The element holder 73 is made of a plastic molded product integrally provided with a disk-shaped holding wall 75 and fastening arms 76 that are extended to two places around the holding wall 75, and the Peltier element 70 is provided at the center of the holding wall 75. A rectangular holding hole 77 is formed for accommodation. Further, a screw insertion boss 78 is formed on the heat sink side plate surface of the holding wall 75. The heat transfer sheet 74 is formed of silicone rubber in the same manner as the elastic sheet 37 described above.

  The cooling head 71 protrudes at two locations around the heat receiving portion 82, a disk block-shaped heat storage portion 81, a quadrangular heat receiving portion 82 that protrudes from a surface facing the Peltier element 70 of the heat storage portion 81. It consists of the die-cast molded product made from aluminum which provided the screw boss | hub 83 and the flange part 84 integrally. The cooling head 71 is fixed to the rear case 1b by fitting the heat storage portion 81 into the mounting window 14 of the rear case 1b from the inner surface of the case, and the heat transfer surface 81a at the outer end of the heat storage portion 81 in this state is the mounting window 14. (See FIG. 1). The heat sink 72 is formed in a long axis shape, and is disposed along the case axis in the main body case 1 formed in a vertically long shape.

  The heat sink 72 includes a plate-wall-shaped sink base 88, a group of front fins (heat dissipation protrusions) 89 protruding from the front surface of the sink base 88, and a rear fin (heat dissipation protrusion) 90 protruding from the rear surface of the sink base 88. It consists of an aluminum die-cast molded product that is integrally provided with a group. As shown in FIG. 8, the sink base 88 includes a cylindrical upper base 91 provided on the upper portion of the base, and a lower base 92 that continuously extends vertically to the lateral wall on the lower side of the upper base 91. A rectangular heat receiving portion 93 projects from the rear surface side of the vertical wall 91. Screw insertion holes 96 are formed on the left and right sides of the upper base 91 (see FIG. 1). The heat dissipating protrusions 89 and 90 do not have to have a plate wall-like fin structure, and may be formed in a round bar shape or a square bar shape.

  As shown in FIG. 11, a square frame-shaped annular wall 94 is provided on the rear surface of the lower base 92 to form a rectangular heat radiation section 95. The front fin 89 projects forward from the lower surface of the upper side wall of the upper base 91 toward the lower end of the lower base 92, and the rear fin 90 extends from the lower surface of the lower side wall of the upper base 91 to the lower base. Projecting backwards over the lower end of 92. The protruding end edge of the rear fin 90 is curved along the curved shape of the rear case 1b, and a rectangular frame-shaped sealing groove is formed on the protruding end of the annular wall 94 and the inner surface of the rear case 1b facing the wall 94, respectively. 113 and 114 are recessed (see FIGS. 8 and 11).

  As described above, the front fins 89 and the rear fins 90 are formed vertically long along the case axis in the vertical direction of the main body case 1 that is formed vertically long. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the heat generated by the Peltier element 70 is set by setting the vertical length H2 of the heat sink 72 to be not less than half the vertical length H1 of the main body case 1. The heat sink 72 having a large surface area can reliably radiate heat. Further, the volume of the sink base 88 is set to be sufficiently larger than the volume of the cooling head 71 so that the heat conduction amount (heat capacity) per unit time of the heat sink 72 is increased. Therefore, when using the cold-heating part 3, the heat generated by the Peltier element 70 can be effectively conducted to the heat sink 72 side to accurately radiate heat.

  The cooling / heating unit 3 is assembled to the rear case 1b as follows. First, the Peltier element 70 is assembled in the holding hole 77 of the element holder 73, and the heat transfer sheet 74 is attached to the front and back surfaces thereof. In this state, the heat sink 72 is assembled on the front side of the element holder 73 and the cooling head 71 is assembled on the rear side, and two screws (fourth fasteners) 97 inserted into the screw insertion holes 96 and the bosses 78 are attached to the screw bosses 83. It is screwed (see FIG. 1) to obtain a cooling structure that is unitized. Next, the rectangular packing 102 is attached to the portion facing the annular wall 94 of the rear case 1b, and the entire cooling structure is fitted to the inner surface of the rear case 1b while the heat storage portion 81 of the cooling head 71 is fitted into the mounting window 14. Position it according to

  Screw bosses 100 (FIG. 4 and FIG. 4) provided in the rear case 1b are provided with left and right fastening arms 76 of the element holder 73 and screws (fifth fasteners) 99 inserted through screw insertion holes 98 provided in the lower center of the heat sink 72. 11) to fix the cooling structure to the rear case 1b. A gap between the heat storage unit 81 and the mounting window 14 is sealed with an O-ring 101. After this state, the case 1b and the front case 1a assembled with the thermal head 2, the control board 17 and the like are joined together in a lid shape, and both the cases 1a and 1b are fastened with screws 10, A beauty instrument provided with the cooling and heating unit 3 is obtained.

  As described above, when the left and right sides and the lower part of the upper part of the heat sink 72 are fastened and fixed to the main body case 1 by the fifth fastener 99, the heat of the heat sink 72 is conducted to the main body case 1 at a position as far as possible from the cooling head 71. Can dissipate heat. This is because the left and right sides of the upper portion of the heat sink 72 are fastened and fixed to the main body case 1 via the holder 73, so that there is little heat conduction to the main body case 1 and there is little influence on the cooling head 71. Further, since the lower side of the heat sink 72 is fastened to the main body case 1 with the fastener 99, heat can be conducted and dissipated at a position far away from the cooling head 71, and therefore, the influence of heat on the cooling head 71 is affected. This is because heat can be effectively dissipated while being suppressed.

  As described above, in the state where the cooling structure is assembled to the main body case 1, the rear fin 90 provided in the majority lower portion of the heat sink 72 faces the inner wall of the rear case 1b via the gap E. (See FIG. 8). Further, the protruding end of the annular wall 94 is in close contact with the packing 102, and an annular heat radiation section 95 is formed between the rear case 1 b and the lower base 92. Since a large number of heat radiation ports 103 are formed in the case wall of the rear case 1b facing the heat radiation section 95, heat exchange in the heat radiation section 95 is promoted, and the heat of the heat sink 72 is effective outside the main body case 1. Can be released. Further, since the metal grip electrode 11 disposed below the heat radiating port 103 functions as the heat radiating plate 104, the heat of the heat sink 72 conducted to the rear case 1 b can be effectively released through the heat radiating plate 104. Can do.

  Specifically, since the heat radiating plate 104 is provided on the outer surface of the rear case 1b facing the lower part of the heat sink 72, the heat of the heat sink 72 can be effectively radiated. Furthermore, since the heat radiating plate 104 is arranged to a position protruding downward from the lower end of the heat sink 72, the heat radiating area can be increased to further improve the heat radiating effect. In addition, since the heat radiating plate 104 is disposed at a position facing the screw 99 that fastens the lower end of the heat sink 72, the heat of the heat sink 72 can be radiated more effectively.

  As shown in FIG. 9, rear fins (radiation fins) 90 and recesses 105 are alternately formed on the lower base 92 facing the heat radiation section 95. The gap E between the rear fin 90 and the rear case 1b is set smaller than the case thickness of the rear case 1b. In this way, the clearance E is provided, and the clearance E is set smaller than the case thickness of the rear case 1b when the rear fin 90 is in close contact with the rear case 1b. This is because the temperature tends to be higher than others. In addition, when the value of the gap E is larger than necessary, the heat released from the rear fin 90 by radiation action tends to be trapped inside the case without being released to the outside of the case via the rear case 1b. Because there is. In other words, the gap E is set to be smaller than the case thickness of the rear case 1b in order to effectively conduct the heat of the heat sink 72 to the main body case 1 side while avoiding the main body case 1 to be locally high temperature. Yes. In addition, the thickness dimension of the rear case 1b in this embodiment is 2.0 mm, and the value of the gap E is 1.0 to 1.8 mm.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the control circuit adjusts the device control circuit 106 that controls the operating state of the heater unit 36, the vibrator 50, and the Peltier element 70, and a weak pulse current for ion introduction or ion derivation, The skin current control circuit 107 outputs a pulse current to the electrode 11 and the skin electrode 32. The details of the operation mode of the beauty tool and the control of each device in each operation mode will be described below. The lighting state of the mode indicator lamp 8 and the intensity indicator lamp 9 is controlled by the device control circuit 106.

  The beauty device is switched from the first to the fourth operation mode every time the mode button unit 6 is pushed after the power button unit 5 is turned on, and the operation state of each device is controlled by the device control circuit for each mode. Control is performed at 106 (see FIG. 12). Further, if necessary, the weak pulse current adjusted by the skin current control circuit 107 is output to the grip electrode 11 and the skin electrode 32, or the polarity thereof is switched. When using a beauty tool, a cotton mat (sheet-like liquid-absorbing liquid) 110 impregnated with lotion as needed is applied to the outer surface of the skin electrode 32, and the periphery is applied to the flange (cap mounting part) 26 of the head case 20. It is used in a state of being fixed with a cap 111 that is press-fitted. As shown in FIG. 3, the cap 111 is formed of a ring-shaped plastic molded product whose front and rear surfaces are open, and elastically deformable engaging claws that engage with and disengage from the flange 26 at four locations on the inner surface of the ring wall on the proximal end side. 112 is provided integrally.

(First operation mode)
In the first operation mode, a cotton mat 110 impregnated with lotion is attached to the skin electrode 32, and an ion derivation process is performed to remove fine dirt entering wrinkles, folds, pores and the like of the facial skin. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, when the power button unit 5 is turned on, the uppermost orange mode indicator lamp 8 is lit, and the leftmost intensity indicator lamp 9 is lit at the same time. Pronounces “pi”. Further, after the power button unit 5 is turned on, a predetermined time t1 is passed, and a weak pulse current for skin detection having a long off time is supplied to the grip electrode 11 and the skin electrode 32. . In the state where the main body case 1 and the grip electrode 11 are grasped with one hand and the skin electrode 32 is in contact with the facial skin, the previous pulse current passes through the human body. This state is a skin detection state. At the same time as the pulse current for skin detection is supplied, the power button 5 is turned on, and after the operation mode is switched, a predetermined time t2 (5 seconds) is waited for, Supply of drive current to the heater unit 36 is started. The time t1 from when the power button unit 5 is turned on to when the operation mode is switched is an arbitrary time because there are individual differences depending on the user of the beauty tool.

  After the power button unit 5 is turned on, when the skin electrode 32 comes into contact with the face skin and the skin electrode 32 and the grip electrode 11 become conductive (skin detection state), a positive polarity pulse current is applied to the skin electrode 32. Simultaneously with the supply, the vibrator 50 is activated. The predetermined time t3 is an arbitrary time until the skin detection state is recognized, and is a time until the user brings the skin electrode 32 into contact with the facial skin. The user captures fine dirt with the cotton mat 110 by pressing the cotton mat 110 attached to the skin electrode 32 (heat transfer body 21) against the skin of the face or sliding the cotton mat 110 along the skin surface in the pressed state. Can do. In the meantime, when the current stimulus to the skin surface is small, the switch button portion 7 for switching the current stimulus intensity can be operated to adjust to the desired stimulus intensity. After 3 minutes have passed since the positive polarity pulse current is supplied to the skin electrode 32, the supply of the pulse current is stopped. At the same time, the supply of the drive current to the heater unit 36 and the vibrator 50 is stopped, and the mode indicator 8 And the intensity indicator lamp 9 is turned off. At this time, the sounding body pronounces “Peepy” to notify the end of the first operation mode. Incidentally, after the power button unit 5 is turned on, if a signal for skin detection is not obtained even after 3 minutes, the power is turned off to return to the standby state.

(Second operation mode)
In the second operation mode, basically the same as in the first operation mode, the cotton mat 110 impregnated with the skin lotion is attached to the outer surface of the skin electrode 32 (heat transfer body 21), and the ion introduction treatment is performed. Improves moisturizing effect by permeating the skin. Also in the second operation mode, the vibrator 50 is activated simultaneously with the supply of the positive polarity pulse current to the skin electrode 32 when the skin detection state is entered as in the first operation mode. However, in the previous first operation mode, a positive polarity pulse current is supplied to the skin electrode 32. However, in the second operation mode, a negative polarity pulse current is supplied to the skin electrode 32 to promote penetration of the skin lotion. The point is different from the first operation mode. In the second operation mode, the second orange mode indicator lamp 8 is turned on. When three minutes have elapsed since the negative polarity pulse current was supplied to the skin electrode 32, the supply of the pulse current is stopped, and at the same time, the supply of the drive current to the heater unit 36 and the vibrator 50 is stopped. At the same time, the mode indicator lamp 8 and the intensity indicator lamp 9 are turned off, and the sounding body notifies the end of the second operation mode.

  In the second operation mode, without using the cotton mat 110 impregnated with the lotion, a gel-like lotion or a beauty solution such as a milky lotion is applied to the thermal head 2 so that the entire heat transfer surface 21a is applied. Can be used in a state of being spread on. In this case, since the cosmetic solution can be held by the liquid holding portion 29 formed in the heat transfer surface 21a, the cosmetic treatment can be performed without any problem even though the cotton mat 110 is not used. it can. The user can permeate the cosmetic liquid over a wide range of the facial skin by pressing the skin electrode 32 against the facial skin or sliding the skin electrode 32 along the skin surface in the pressed state. Moreover, since the liquid holding part 29 is provided in a circle shape, when the skin surface is cleaned using the skin electrode 32, the cosmetic solution previously applied to the skin surface by the liquid reservoir effect of the liquid holding part 29 Can be spread widely by moving it in all directions. Further, since the liquid holding part 29 is provided in a circle shape so as to surround the heater unit 36, the front and rear dimensions of the thermal head 2 can be reduced by avoiding the recess of the liquid holding part 29 and the heater unit 36 from interfering with each other. Can be small.

(Third operation mode)
In the third operation mode, the third orange mode indicator lamp 8 is lit, supplies a pulse current to the face skin, operates the heater unit 36, and in the same manner as in the first operation mode, the skin detection state At the same time, a positive polarity pulse current is supplied to the skin electrode 32, and at the same time, a cosmetic process is performed with the vibrator 50 activated to prepare the skin surface. However, in the third operation mode, cosmetic treatment is performed in a state where a positive polarity pulse current and a negative polarity pulse current are alternately applied to the skin electrode 32 (heat transfer body 21). In the third operation mode, the cosmetic treatment is performed without using the cotton mat 110 impregnated with the skin lotion, with the face skin covered with a sheet mask or with the emulsion applied to the face skin. In the third operation mode, when 3 minutes have elapsed since the pulse current was supplied to the skin electrode 32, the supply of the pulse current is stopped, and at the same time, the supply of the drive current to the heater unit 36 and the vibrator 50 is stopped. At the same time, the mode indicator 8 and the intensity indicator 9 are turned off, and the sounding body notifies the end of the third operation mode.

(Fourth operation mode)
In the fourth operation mode, the blue mode indicator lamp 8 at the bottom is lit, and the beauty treatment is performed with the cooling head 71 cooled by the Peltier element 70. When the power button 5 is turned on and then the mode button 6 is operated to switch the operation mode to the fourth operation mode, a drive current is supplied to the Peltier element 70 and cooling of the cooling head 71 is started. . Until the primary cooling time T1 (40 seconds) elapses from the start of cooling of the cooling head 71, the cooling head 71 is rapidly cooled by continuously supplying a current of 2.7 V to the Peltier element 70.

  However, if the Peltier element 70 is continuously driven at the previous voltage, the cooling head 71 gets too cold, the heat on the heat sink 72 side is fed back to the cooling head 71 side, and the cooling head 71 is moved to a predetermined temperature. It becomes impossible to cool to a temperature state. In order to eliminate such problems, the voltage V1 from the start of cooling of the cooling head 71 until the primary cooling time T1 (40 seconds) elapses is set to 2.7 V, and the primary cooling time (40 seconds) from the start of cooling is set to 2.7 V. When the time has elapsed, the drive current supplied to the Peltier element 70 is pulsed and the pulse current is supplied to the Peltier element 70. The applied voltage V2 at this time is limited from 2.7 V to 2 V during the primary cooling. Thereafter, the Peltier device 70 is driven with a pulse current of 2.0 V until the secondary cooling time (80 seconds) elapses.

  The user can start using the beauty device when the primary cooling time T1 has elapsed from the start of cooling of the cooling head 71, and can use the beauty device until the secondary cooling time T2 has elapsed. In the fourth operation mode, the process of applying the heat transfer surface 81a of the cooling head 71 to the face skin or separating it from the face skin is performed in the same manner as putting the face skin using the makeup puff. Repeat from center to outer periphery. In the fourth operation mode, when two minutes have elapsed since the current was supplied to the Peltier element 70, the supply of the drive current is stopped. At the same time, the mode indicator lamp 8 and the intensity indicator lamp 9 are turned off, and the sounding body notifies the end of the fourth operation mode.

  The above is an example of control for each operation mode by the control circuit, but the control circuit stores the operation mode used last time each operation mode ends, and the power button unit 5 is turned on next time. In this case, the control is performed by setting the operation mode next to the operation mode used last time as the start operation mode. Further, when the fourth operation mode is repeatedly selected, the primary cooling time T1 for cooling the cooling head 71 is gradually changed to eliminate the influence of the heat feedback on the heat sink 72 side, and the cooling head 71 is It is possible to reliably cool to a predetermined cold temperature.

  Specifically, for example, when the room temperature is 25 ° C., in the first fourth operation mode, a drive current of 2.7 V is applied to the Peltier element 70 until the primary cooling time T1 (40 seconds) elapses. Then, the 25 ° C. cooling head 71 is lowered to 15 ° C. Subsequently, the Peltier device 70 is driven with a pulse current of 2V until the secondary cooling time T2 elapses. Therefore, the heat sink 72 at the time when the first fourth operation mode is completed is in a state of being heated to around 35 ° C., and the second fourth operation mode is selected after the completion of the first fourth operation mode. In this state, the heat of the heat sink 72 is fed back to the Peltier element 70. Therefore, even if the Peltier element 70 is driven under the same conditions as the fourth operation mode for the first time (primary cooling time T1 = 40 seconds), the temperature of the cooling head 71 can be lowered to 15 ° C. Disappear.

  In order to cope with the heat feedback action by the heat sink 72, the primary cooling time T1 is gradually set to 60 seconds for the second time and 120 seconds for the third time as shown in FIG. Has increased. Even in this case, the sum of the primary cooling time T1 and the secondary cooling time T2 is always constant (120 seconds), and the secondary cooling time T2 is reduced by the increase of the primary cooling time T1.

  As described above, the fourth operation mode can be used repeatedly up to three times, but cannot be used the fourth time. This is because, as the cooling head 71 is used repeatedly three times, the amount of heat stored in the heat sink 72 exceeds the limit, and even if the Peltier element 70 is driven, the heat of the heat sink 72 is fed back to the cooling head. This is because 71 cannot be cooled to a predetermined temperature state. When the fourth operation mode is selected for the fourth time, all the indicator lamps 8 and 9 are flashed, and the sounding body gives a warning by intermittently sounding “peep”.

  Note that the change in the primary cooling time T1 in the second and third fourth operation modes and the use restriction of the fourth fourth operation mode are such that the elapsed time after starting the first fourth operation mode is 60. Performed when it is within minutes. This is because if the previous elapsed time exceeds 60 minutes, it is considered that the heat of the heat sink 72 is dissipated and falls to about room temperature.

Control of the Peltier element 70 demonstrated above can be implemented with the following forms.
A cooling beauty instrument comprising a cooling head 71, a thermoelectric conversion element 70, a heat sink 72, and a control circuit for controlling a drive current supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element 70,
The control circuit controls the drive current supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element 70 to be different between the time when the primary cooling time T1 elapses from the start of driving and the time when the secondary cooling time T2 elapses.
While the primary cooling time T1 has elapsed since the start of driving of the thermoelectric conversion element 70, the control circuit continuously supplies the drive current of the predetermined voltage V1 to the thermoelectric conversion element 70,
The cooling beauty instrument characterized in that the control circuit in the secondary cooling time T2 converts the drive current into a pulse current and supplies the drive current voltage at a voltage V2 lower than the predetermined voltage V1.

After driving the thermoelectric conversion element 70 for the first time, when supplying the drive current to the thermoelectric conversion element 70 again to cool the cooling head 71,
The primary cooling time T1 when the thermoelectric conversion element 70 is driven next time is set longer than the primary cooling time T1 when the thermoelectric conversion element 70 is driven last time.

After driving the thermoelectric conversion element 70 for the first time, when supplying the drive current to the thermoelectric conversion element 70 again to cool the cooling head 71,
The secondary cooling time T2 when the thermoelectric conversion element 70 is driven next time is set shorter than the secondary cooling time T2 when the thermoelectric conversion element 70 is driven last time.

  As described above, until the primary cooling time T <b> 1 elapses after the cooling head 71 starts cooling, the cooling head 71 is rapidly cooled by supplying a current of 2.7 V to the Peltier element 70. In the secondary cooling time T2, the drive current supplied to the Peltier element 70 is pulsed in order to prevent the heat feedback of the heat sink 72 accompanying the cooling of the cooling head 71, and the applied voltage V2 is set to 2. Although it is limited to 0V, the grounds are as follows.

  In order to prevent the cooling head 71 from being overcooled, as shown in FIG. 15A, the driving current voltage V1 (2.7 V) supplied to the Peltier element 70 in the secondary cooling time T2 remains unchanged, and the driving current Is preferably converted into a pulse current. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 15B, even when the voltage V2 (2.0 V) of the drive current supplied to the Peltier element 70 is decreased during the secondary cooling time T2, the cooling head 71 is overcooled to some extent. Can prevent. In either case, there is an advantage that power consumption by the Peltier element 70 can be reduced.

  However, when the drive current is simply converted to a pulse current, the heat of the heat sink 72 is conducted to the cooling head 71 in a state where the pulse current is turned off, so that the cooling head 71 is difficult to cool. When the pulse width of the pulse current is reduced, the off time is shortened, so that it is possible to eliminate the difficulty of cooling the cooling head 71. However, in this case, the specification of the control computer chip provided in the device control circuit 106 is over, so that it is necessary to use a more expensive control computer chip.

  Further, when the voltage V2 of the drive current is simply reduced, the cooling head 71 can be prevented from being overcooled to some extent, but it is not sufficient. For example, when the Peltier element 70 is repeatedly driven, the cooling head 71 gets too cold. If the voltage V2 of the drive current is further reduced, the cooling head 71 can be prevented from being overcooled. However, in that case, it is inevitable that a circuit component such as a diode generates heat due to the heating action of the resistor for lowering the voltage. For the reasons described above, in this embodiment, the driving current voltage V2 supplied to the Peltier element 70 in the secondary cooling time T2 is lower than the driving current voltage V1 in the primary cooling time T1, and further the driving current Is converted into a pulse current to drive the Peltier element 70.
