Japanese Patent No. 6282271

However, in the above-described beauty machine, there is a desire to add a function of warming the contact portion in order to provide a good feeling to the user. At that time, research was required to reduce energy consumption.

The present invention has been completed based on the above circumstances, and has an object to provide a beauty device capable of reducing energy consumption while having a function of warming a contact portion.

The cosmetic device of the present invention is a cosmetic device to be used by gripping, and the cosmetic device is in contact with the user, based on the detection result of the contact portion against the skin, the detection portion detecting the state in which the cosmetic machine is in contact with the user, and the detection portion of the detection portion. If not, the controller is provided with a first target temperature and a second target temperature higher than the first target temperature when the beauty device is in contact with the user.

Here, the state in which the beauty device is not in contact with the user and the state in which the beauty device is in contact with the user include the following pattern. That is, the state in which the beauty device is not in contact with the user, the state in which the beauty device is not gripped, and the state in which the beauty device is in contact with the user include a pattern in which the beauty device is gripped but the contact portion is not in contact with the skin. do. In addition, the state in which the beauty device is not in contact with the user, the state in which the beauty device is not gripped, and the beauty device is gripped, but the contact portion is not in contact with the skin, and the state in which the beauty device is in contact with the user is Is gripped, and includes a pattern in which the contact portion is in contact with the skin.

According to the present invention, the contact portion becomes the first target temperature when the beauty device is not in contact with the user, and becomes the second target temperature higher than the first target temperature when the beauty device is in contact with the user. Therefore, energy consumption can be reduced as compared with the case where the contact portion keeps the second target temperature during the period from the non-contact state to the contact state. In addition, since the temperature change of the contact portion is performed during a series of operations until the use of the beauty device is started, the user can smoothly start using the beauty device.

In addition, when the temperature of the contact portion is raised to the first target temperature in a state in which the beauty device is not in contact with the user, it is possible to alleviate the coolness when using the beauty device.

In addition, by setting the second target temperature to be the optimal temperature for the procedure and setting the first target temperature to a temperature close to the second target temperature, the waiting time until the second target temperature is reached is shortened, thereby reducing the user's stress. Can be alleviated.

In addition, when the contact portion is put on the skin at the start of use of the beauty device, when the difference between the user's skin temperature and the temperature of the contact portion is large, there is a fear that the user may feel discomfort. However, by setting the first target temperature to a temperature closer to the second target temperature than the user's skin temperature, the difference between the user's skin temperature at the start of use of the beauty device and the temperature of the contact portion can be made small, so that the user feels discomfort. It can be difficult.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown below.

The beauty machine of the present invention has a gripping portion, and the detecting portion may be provided on the gripping portion. According to such a structure, since the part which has a detection part does not need to be provided separately from a holding part, a beauty machine can be miniaturized. In addition, when the detection unit is provided in the contact portion to be warmed, the detection unit may malfunction, but by providing the detection unit in the gripping portion, it is possible to prevent such a malfunction from occurring.

In addition, the cosmetic device of the present invention may have a temperature gradient in which the contact portion rises from the first target temperature to the second target temperature, rather than a temperature gradient in which the contact portion rises to the first target temperature. According to such a structure, since the contact portion slowly rises to the second target temperature, excessive heating (overshoot) of the contact portion can be prevented. In addition, such temperature control by the control unit is achieved under a normal use environment.

In addition, the beauty device of the present invention, when the hand is in contact with the gripping part, and also when the skin is in contact with the holding part, a closed circuit is formed through the human body, so that a weak current flows in the contacting part, and the detecting part of the closed circuit It is also possible to detect energization, and the control unit may raise the contact portion to the second target temperature by detecting energization of the closed circuit of the detection unit. According to this configuration, when the contact portion comes into contact with the skin, the contact portion starts to rise to the second target temperature. Therefore, energy consumption can be reduced compared with the case where the beauty device is held but the contact part does not come into contact with the skin, and the contact part starts to rise to the second target temperature. In addition, the burden on the skin can be reduced as compared to the case where the contact portion is raised from the beginning of contact with the skin to the second target temperature.

Thereby, the detection part 14 detects whether the beauty machine 10 is in a state in which it is not in contact with a user or in a state in which it is in contact. That is, in the present embodiment, the state in which the beauty device 10 is not gripped and the state in which the beauty device 10 is held but the first contact portion 12 and the second contact portion 13 are not in contact with the skin, The beauty machine 10 is not in contact with the user. In addition, the state in which the beauty device 10 is gripped and the first contact portion 12 or the second contact portion 13 is in contact with the skin is the condition in which the beauty machine 10 is in contact with the user.

The control unit 15 sets the temperature of the first contact unit 12 to a predetermined temperature based on the detection result of the detection unit 14, the selected use mode, and an input signal from the first temperature sensor 32. To this end, the first heating element 31 is controlled on and off.

To this end, the second heating element 34 is controlled on and off.

In the first mode and the third mode, the control unit 15 controls the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 34 as follows. When the beauty device 10 is not in contact with the user, the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 34 are controlled such that the first contact portion 12 or the second contact portion 13 rises to the first target temperature. do. In the state where the beauty device 10 is in contact with the user, the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 31 and the second heating element 31 and the second heating unit 13 are raised to a second target temperature higher than the first target temperature. The heating element 34 is controlled. At this time, the control unit 15 has a temperature gradient in which the first contact portion 12 or the second contact portion 13 rises from the first target temperature to the second target temperature, the first contact portion 12 or the second contact portion 13 Is controlled to be smaller than the temperature gradient rising from room temperature to the first target temperature.

The control unit 15 drives the first vibration motor 33 in the first mode, and drives the second vibration motor 36 in the second mode. The control unit 15 has a timer function (time measurement function).

Next, an example of the operation of the beauty machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.

First, an example of the operation of the first mode of the beauty machine 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 4.

When the user turns on the power by operating the switch unit 16 (S100), the control unit 15 starts measuring the elapsed time after the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on. Then, when the user selects the first mode (S101), the control unit 15 heats the first heating element 31 to bring the first contact portion 12 to the first target temperature (38 degrees in this embodiment). It is raised (S102). At this time, the control unit 15, if the temperature of the first contact unit 12 before turning on the power is 15 degrees, the first contact unit 12 rapidly reaches the first target temperature in about 1 minute (31) is heated. In addition, although not described in the flowchart, the control unit 15 heats the second heating element 34 to raise the second contact portion 13 to an atmospheric temperature lower than the first target temperature (30 degrees in this embodiment). . During this time, the control unit 15 slowly flashes the first light emitting unit 21 in white, turns on the second light emitting unit 22, and turns off the third light emitting unit 23 and the fourth light emitting unit 24. Keep it one.

When the first contact portion 12 reaches the first target temperature, the control unit 15 maintains the first contact portion 12 at the first target temperature (S103), and the beauty machine 10 is in a standby state. The control unit 15 stops heating when the first contact portion 12 is equal to or higher than the first target temperature, and heats when the first contact portion becomes lower than or equal to the first target temperature, thereby maintaining the first contact portion 12 at the first target temperature. The control unit 15 continues to blink the first light-emitting unit 21 slowly white, light the second light-emitting unit 22, and turn the third light-emitting unit 23 and the fourth light-emitting unit 24 Keep it off.

When the elapsed time after the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on exceeds a predetermined time (5 minutes in this embodiment) (S104: Yes), the control unit 15 automatically turns off the power (S108). The control unit 15 turns off all the light emitting units 21, 22, 23, and 24, and stops heating of the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 34. Thereby, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the beauty machine 10 is left for a predetermined period of time or more while the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on, thereby preventing useless energy consumption.

The user has not started to use, i.e., the beauty device 10 in the standby state is not gripped and left unattended, or the beauty device 10 in the standby state is gripped, but the skin is detected without the first contact portion 12 touching the skin. If not (S105: No), the control unit 15 maintains the temperature of the first contact portion 12 at the first target temperature.

When a predetermined time elapses after the power of the beauty device 10 is turned on (S104: No), when the user grips the beauty device 10 in the standby state and applies the first contact portion 12 to the skin, the first contact portion The current flows to (12), and the detection unit 14 detects it (S105: Yes), and the control unit 15 starts operation in the first mode (S106). Here, when the user puts the first contact portion 12 on the skin, the first contact portion 12 is at the first target temperature. Since the first target temperature of the present embodiment is 38 degrees, which is equivalent to the human body temperature, the coldness when the first contact portion 12 is applied to the skin can be eliminated. In addition, the control unit 15 resets the timer started when the power of the beauty device 10 is turned on, and instead starts measuring the elapsed time after the first contact portion 12 touches the skin.

When the operation of the first mode is started, the control unit 15 heats the first heating element 31 to raise the temperature of the first contact portion 12 to the second target temperature (41 degrees in this embodiment). At this time, the control unit 15 increases the temperature of the first contact portion 12 from the first target temperature to the second target temperature at a speed slower than the speed of raising the temperature of the first contact portion 12 to the first target temperature. Thereby, the stress exerted on the user's skin can be reduced. In addition, when the temperature is rapidly increased, there is a possibility that a so-called overshoot in which the first heating element 31 excessively rises may occur, and such an excessive increase in temperature can be prevented. The control unit 15 flows a first current to the first contact portion 12 to drive the first vibration motor 33. The user senses that the first mode is operating by the vibration of the first vibration motor 33. The control unit 15 maintains the second contact portion 13 at the atmospheric temperature, continues to blink the first light-emitting portion 21 slowly white, turns on the second light-emitting portion 22, and the third light-emitting portion The 23 and the 4th light emitting part 24 are kept in the off state.

If the elapsed time after the first contact portion 12 contacts the skin exceeds a predetermined time (5 minutes in this embodiment) (S107: Yes), the control unit 15 automatically turns off the power (S108). The control unit 15 turns off all the light emitting units 21, 22, 23, and 24, and stops heating of the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 34. The control unit 15 maintains the operation in the first mode until a predetermined time elapses after the first contact portion 12 has contacted the skin (S107: No).

Next, an example of the operation of the second mode of the beauty machine 10 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5.

When the user operates the switch unit 16 to turn on the power (S200), the control unit 15 starts to measure the elapsed time after the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on. Then, when the user selects the second mode (S201), the control unit 15 heats the second heating element 34 to heat the second contact portion 13 to a predetermined operation temperature (30 degrees in this embodiment). It is raised (S202). The operating temperature of the second mode (the mode in which the second current is passed through the second contact portion 13) is greater than the operating temperature (41 degrees) suitable for the first mode (the mode in which the first current is passed through the first contact portion 12) The temperature is slightly lower. In addition, although the control unit 15 is not described in the flowchart, the first heating unit 31 is heated to raise the first contact unit 12 to the atmospheric temperature (30 degrees). The air temperature of the first contact portion 12 is the same as the air temperature of the second contact portion 13 in the first mode. During this time, the control unit 15 slowly flashes the first light emitting unit 21 in blue, turns on the third light emitting unit 23, and turns off the second light emitting unit 22 and the fourth light emitting unit 24. do.

When the temperature of the second contact portion 13 rises to a predetermined treatment temperature, the control unit 15 maintains the second contact portion 13 at a predetermined treatment temperature (S203), and the cosmetic device 10 is in a standby state. The control unit 15 stops heating when the second contact portion 13 is equal to or greater than a predetermined treatment temperature, and when the second contact portion 13 is lower than or equal to a predetermined treatment temperature, performs heating to maintain the second contact portion 13 at the treatment temperature. The control unit 15 continues to flash the first light emitting unit 21 slowly blue, light the third light emitting unit 23, and turn off the second light emitting unit 22 and the fourth light emitting unit 24. Keep it. In addition, when the elapsed time after the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on exceeds a predetermined time (5 minutes in this embodiment) (S204: Yes), the control unit 15 automatically turns off the power (S208). . The control unit 15 turns off all the light emitting units 21, 22, 23, and 24, and stops heating of the first heating element 31 and the second heating element 34. As a result, as in the first mode, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the beauty machine 10 is left for a predetermined period of time or more while the power is turned on, thereby preventing useless energy consumption.

The user has not started to use, i.e., the beauty device 10 in the standby state is not gripped and left unattended, or the beauty device 10 in the standby state is gripped, but the skin is detected without the second contact portion 13 touching the skin. If not (S205: No), the control unit 15 maintains the second contact portion 13 at the treatment temperature.

When a predetermined time elapses after the power of the beauty device 10 is turned on (S204: No), when the user grips the beauty device 10 in a standby state and applies the second contact portion 13 to the skin, the second contact portion The current flows to (13), and the detection unit 14 detects it (S205: Yes), and the control unit 15 starts the operation in the second mode (S206). In addition, the control unit 15 resets the timer started when the power of the beauty machine 10 is turned on, and instead starts measuring the elapsed time after the second contact portion 13 contacts the skin.
