Description

Skin care device with improved electrical stimulation {Skin Treatment Apparatus}

The present invention relates to a skin care device having improved electrical stimulation that can prevent sparks occurring at the contact area between the skin (the affected part) and the electrode.

In general, the human body has a large number of acupuncture points. Acupressure and massage at these acupuncture points cause cells to develop defenses at their compression sites, causing heat to dissipate and discharging waste products to the outside. There are advances in therapies that allow them to be cured.

Recently, physical therapy devices such as helium lamps and infrared lamps have been widely used in homes or at specific places, and thermal therapy devices for pressurizing and steaming the user's skin (areas), and high frequency therapy devices using high frequency waves, have been widely used.

Among them, the high-frequency therapy device uses high frequency current, that is, a special level of frequency, to direct electrical energy to the deep part of the human body while directly contacting the human body, converting it into living energy, and generating the generated energy. Deep energy is generated using the generated energy to increase natural healing power and resistance in the human body, and frictional heat is generated in the biological tissue of the skin by using electrical stimulation. By strengthening circulation or promoting fat metabolism and muscle movement, it refers to a device that is used for the purpose of strengthening human body function or treating treatment such as obesity treatment, muscle strengthening, skin care, hair promotion and pain relief.

In addition, general commercial AC has an electrical characteristic that alternates with +,-. Therefore, when a high frequency current is applied to a living tissue, ions in the cell move back and forth from the cathode to the anode, which generates a large amount of frictional heat by itself, thereby treating or obtaining a cosmetic effect.
Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1013581 is widely known as a high frequency therapy device (or skin care device) for such conventional skin care and treatment.
Looking at the general configuration of a conventional skin care device (hereinafter referred to as "high frequency treatment apparatus"), as shown in Figure 1, the main body (2) containing a high-frequency generating circuit for inducing friction heat in the biological tissue of the skin, It is composed of an electrode rod 3 as an active electrode and an electrode pad 4 as a neutral electrode, which are electrically connected to the main body 2 and allow a high-frequency high-frequency current generated in the main body 2 to flow to the affected part (human body).

The radiofrequency treatment apparatus 1 is used in such a way that the electrode rod 3 as the active electrode is brought into contact with the affected part, and the electrode pad 4 as the neutral electrode is brought into direct contact with a large part of the affected part (human body). It causes the heat of friction to be generated in the human tissue.

However, in the case of the conventional radiofrequency treatment apparatus 1, the user feels severe discomfort or simplicity due to sparks generated at the contact area between the skin (the affected part) and the electrode 3 during initial use or release, which has been pointed out as the biggest problem. There was a serious problem that convulsions occurred, and these electrical stimuli were imprinted on the user's brain and reluctant to use them in the future.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In describing the present invention, when it is determined that related well-known functions or detailed descriptions may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to Figure 2, the skin care device to improve the electrical stimulation according to the present invention, consisting of the main body 10, the plate 20 and the handle 30 to generate a high frequency in the body to treat or treat the human body It is used for the purpose.

The main body 10 is a device incorporating a circuit for generating a high frequency or low frequency current to induce frictional heat in the biological tissue of the skin, in the present embodiment to generate a high frequency or low frequency for treatment or beauty to the handle 30 In this case, the main body 10 is a known high frequency generator or low frequency generator.

The main body 10 is already well known in the art, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

For reference, hereinafter, the main body 10 is a high frequency generating device by way of example.

The plate 20 is a known metal plate functioning as a ground and a neutral electrode. In the present embodiment, the plate 20 is preferably used in contact with a stomach, thigh, or the like with a relatively large area in the human body.

The plate 20 is electrically connected to each other through the body 10 and a wire (cable).

Since the plate 20 is already well known in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

3A and 3B, the handle 30 is a known electrode body as an active electrode for flowing a high-frequency high-frequency current generated in the body 10 to the human body. They are electrically connected to each other via wires (cables).

Here, the contact tip 33 of the handle 30 is divided into a first electrode 33a and a second electrode 33b, respectively, a spring disposed between the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b. It is to be noted that high frequency energy is transferred from the first electrode 33a to the second electrode 33b only at the selective contact of the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b, spaced apart from each other by (34). There is a need.

For reference, the selective contact means that the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b are mutually pressed when the case 31 is pressed toward the skin while the second electrode 33b is in contact with the skin. When the high frequency energy is in contact with each other and the force applied to the skin is released, the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b are spaced apart from each other, which means that the high frequency energy is naturally blocked.

The handle 30 is composed of a case 31, the connector 32, the contact tip 33, the spring 34, the cover 36 composed of the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b, If necessary, the pedestal 37 is further provided with reinforcement.

The case 31 is preferably made of synthetic resin that does not flow electricity.

In the present embodiment, the wire (cable) drawn out from the main body 10 through one end of the case 31 is inserted into the inside.

One end of the case 31 is provided with a detachable cover 36, which will be described later, and a thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the one end of the case 31 and the inner circumferential surface of the cover 36, respectively. To be coupled to each other.

However, this is only one embodiment, and for example, a protrusion (or groove) may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of one end of the case 31, and a groove (or protrusion) may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cover 36 to be combined. It is unpreferable to interpret only this.

The connector 32 is a well-known metal tube, which is installed in the case 31 in the present embodiment, one end of the wire (cable) drawn from the main body 10 is electrically connected, and the other end thereof is described later. The electrode rod 33a is detachably installed.

Therefore, the connector 32 is preferably installed so that one end is exposed to the case 31 so that the first electrode 33a can be detachably installed.

The first electrode bar 33a of the contact tip 33 is a metal rod. In this embodiment, one end portion is inserted into the connector 32 mentioned above and protrudes outward.

Here, the first electrode bar 33a and the wires (cables) drawn from the main body 10 are connected to each other via the connector 32.

The spring 34 is a well-known coil spring. In the present embodiment, the spring 34 is inserted into the outer side of the first electrode 33a to support the second electrode 33b in one direction so as not to contact the first electrode 33a. Function.

On the other hand, while the spring 34 is simply inserted to the outside of the first electrode (33a) it is possible to support the second electrode (33b) in a shot, but in such an embodiment, the second electrode (33b) accurately supports In order to apply a long length of the spring 34, and to pressurize with a greater force as the length increased, there is a problem of severely irritating the skin (the affected part) or leaving marks on the skin (the affected part), furthermore, the first electrode Since 33a is simply inserted into the connector 32, there is a fear that it is easily separated when an external force is applied.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem as described above, a pedestal 37 having a spring fixing part 37a is detachably installed at the distal end of the first electrode bar 33a.

According to the present embodiment, since the spring 34 is detachably press-fitted to the spring fixing part 37a of the pedestal 37 to support the second electrode bar 33b in one direction, the second electrode bar more stably ( In addition to supporting the 33b), there is an advantage that the first electrode 33a can be prevented from being separated from the connector 32.

The second electrode bar 33b is a metal rod. In the present embodiment, the second electrode bar 33b is inserted into the cover 36 and is movable.

For reference, an original plate having a predetermined thickness is integrally formed at one end of the second electrode bar 33b, where the original plate is a member for preventing the separation from the cover 36.

The cover 36 is a member having a horn shape as a whole. In the present embodiment, the cover 36 is detachably installed at the distal end of the case 31 so that the first electrode 33a, the spring 34, the second electrode 33b, and the pedestal are installed. It functions to prevent the departure of 37.

Referring to the state of use of the present invention made of a configuration as described above are as follows.

 Referring to FIG. 4A, first, when a power source of the main body 10 is applied, a high frequency current is generated by a built-in circuit, and the generated high frequency current is connected to the handle 30 in a handle 30 through a wire (cable). 32 and the first electrode 33a.

Next, the ground plate 20 serving as a grounding electrode as a neutral electrode is brought into contact with the skin (the affected part), and the second electrode 33b of the handle 30 which emits a high frequency current as the active electrode is intended to be treated and treated. Make contact with skin (affected area).

As described above, the second electrode 33b is brought into contact with the skin (the affected part) while the high frequency current is being supplied to the handle 30. For reference, since the second electrode bar 33b is spaced apart from the first electrode bar 33a through the spring 34, no current flows even if the second electrode bar 33b comes into contact with the skin (the affected part).

When the second electrode 33b of the handle 30 is pressed toward the skin (the affected part) while being brought into contact with the skin (the affected part) to be beauty and treated, the second electrode 33b naturally covers 36. When the spring 34 is pushed into the inner side of the second electrode 33b, the spring 34 is compressed, and when a force is further applied, one end of the second electrode 33b is in electrical contact with one end of the first electrode 33a, and a high frequency current is applied to the second electrode. 33b) is released to the human body, as shown in Figure 4b.

In particular, the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b are brought into contact with each other in a state in which the second electrode 33b is in contact with the skin (the affected part). As a result, the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33a are contacted with each other. Sparking occurs only between the electrode bars 33b, and no spark occurs between the second electrode bar 33b and the skin (the affected part), so that discomfort caused by the sparks can be eliminated at the time of use.

Subsequently, when a high frequency current is applied to the living tissue of the affected part through the second electrode 33b, ions in the cell move back and forth to the cathode and the anode, which generates a great amount of frictional heat by itself, thereby treating or treating the skin (the affected area). You will get the effect.

On the other hand, if you want to stop using, you can release the contact between the first electrode 33a and the second electrode (33b), in more detail, the force applied to the second electrode (33b) When slowly released, the spacing between the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b is gradually separated by the restoring force of the spring 34, and the electrical connection is cut off, thereby transmitting a high frequency current to the skin (the affected part). Will not be.

In particular, since the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b are spaced apart from each other in a state where the second electrode 33b is in contact with the skin (circular part), the spark is formed by the first electrode 33a and the second electrode ( It occurs only between 33b) and since spark does not occur at all between the second electrode 33b and the skin (the affected part), discomfort caused by the spark can be eliminated at the time of release.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the high frequency current is transmitted to the skin (affected area) only at the time of selective contact between the first electrode 33a and the second electrode 33b, thereby generating at the contact area between the skin (affected area) and the electrode. It is possible to fundamentally prevent and suppress the sparks, and because of this it is possible to solve the source of the severe discomfort caused by the sparks, there is an advantage that the use is very convenient.

In the present embodiment, as one preferred embodiment, it is described and shown to be used in the radiofrequency treatment apparatus, but this is only one embodiment, for example, ampoule containing nutritional ingredients for skin beauty, such as low-frequency treatment device When it is used in a state that is thinly applied to the skin because it may be used as a beauty instrument, it is not preferable to interpret only the embodiment of the present invention.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
