Description

Skin care device and driving method thereof {Apparatus for Managing Skin and Driving Method of Apparatus for Managing Skin}

The present invention relates to a skin care device and a method of driving the device, and more particularly, a skin care device capable of outputting a high voltage and a low voltage for an electroporation operation and at the same time a plasma lifting method with low ozone emission. It relates to a method of driving the device.

In general, as a person ages, the skin loses its elasticity, and wrinkles and sagging occur on the skin. Because of this, people use various kinds of functional cosmetics to maintain the elasticity of the skin. However, since the skin has a function of protecting the human body from external irritation or substances and exhibits an impermeable property to water-soluble ingredients, it is not possible to effectively care for the skin simply by applying functional cosmetics to the skin. On the contrary, various types of skin care devices have been developed. Skin care devices include a variety of devices, such as a device for removing skin wastes using current, a device for managing skin using vibration, low frequency, galvanic, heat and ozone. In recent years, there is also a study on a skin care device that supplies hydrogen water to the skin, which contributes to eliminating free radicals that age blood, blood vessels, and cells.

Recently, there is a tendency to use electroporation technology by incorporating it into a beauty device. Electroporation is a method of introducing a gene into a cell, and is a method of applying an electric field (or high voltage) to a cell to increase membrane permeability and introducing DNA into the cell. However, the conventional electroporation device or the ion introducer simply outputs a frequency for promoting absorption without considering the degree of skin drying of the user.

In addition, the conventional high voltage electroporation uses a high voltage of several hundred or several kilo volts, but has a short pulse width to induce electrical perforation between the cell membranes of the skin, which is difficult to use continuously and applied to the face area. There is a problem that can be accompanied by pain.

In addition, the conventional high voltage electroporation requires high voltage to be applied to the skin, so the irritation on the skin increases over a long period of use, so it should be used only for a short time. There is a problem that is not suitable for home use because it may not be observed.

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

1 is a view showing the structure of a skin care device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a view showing the structure of the hybrid skin care unit of Figure 1 by way of example.

As shown in FIG. 1, the skin care device 90 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a part or all of the hybrid skin care unit 100, the control unit 110, and the state output unit 120.

Here, "comprises some or all" means that some components such as the state output unit 120 are omitted so that the skin care device 90 is configured or some components such as the hybrid skin care unit 100 are controlled by the control unit 110. Means that can be integrated into other components, such as), etc., will be described as including all to help a full understanding of the invention.

Under the control of the control unit 110, the hybrid skin care unit 100 performs skin condition measurement, skin passage formation, skin regeneration, and an operation for promoting absorption of drugs or active ingredients (hereinafter, active ingredients). To this end, the hybrid skin care unit 100 may perform a variable voltage operation for implementing the electroporation function and a plasma processing operation for generating the plasma. In addition, the hybrid skin care unit 100 may include an electrode unit, that is, an output unit for outputting a high voltage or a low voltage and plasma for electroporation to an electrode contacting the skin of the user.

In addition, the hybrid skin care unit 100 provides the control unit 110 to determine the skin state of the user by measuring the skin state through the electrode unit. In addition, an electroporation operation may be performed to form a skin passage, and the generated plasma may be output to the user's skin for skin regeneration. In addition, the hybrid skin care unit 100 uses a high voltage (eg, 1 KVpp) of a designated high level in the range of the medium frequency or varies within the range when generating the plasma to promote the absorption rate of the active ingredient. In this case, the effect can be increased by outputting the generated voltage (hereinafter, the electroporation voltage) together to execute the electroporation operation. Here, the electroporation voltage may include a complex medium frequency voltage having one or more peaks to peaks.

Hybrid skin care unit 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be variously designed according to the intention of the system designer. Therefore, embodiments of the present invention will not be specifically limited to any one manner. In Figure 2 it can be seen to illustrate one of many examples. In other words, in FIG. 2, the control unit 110 directly controls the plasma processing unit 200 and the voltage variable unit 210 of the hybrid skin care unit 100 ′, but for example, a separate switching unit may include a plasma processing unit ( This is because it may be possible to connect the 200 and the voltage variable unit 210, and the controller 110 controls the switching unit to indirectly control the plasma processing unit 200 and the voltage variable unit 210. This may be determined in consideration of manufacturing costs.

The hybrid skin care unit 100 of FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a portion or all of the plasma processing unit 200, the voltage varying unit 210, and the electrode unit 220 as shown in FIG. 2. The plasma processing unit 200 includes some or all of the driving unit 201 and the plasma generating unit 203, and the voltage variable unit 210 includes some or all of the voltage generating unit 211 and the switching unit 213. can do. "Include some or all" herein is synonymous with the foregoing.

The driver 201 drives the plasma generator 203 under the control of the controller 110. In other words, according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the plasma generator 203 has an output voltage value of a predetermined level of, for example, 1 KVpp, and the driving unit 201 is output because a voltage formed in the mid frequency region of 30 Hz to 100 Hz is output. It may be involved in this operation. For this purpose, the driving unit 201 may include switching elements such as FETs.

The plasma generator 203 may include a transformer. Since high voltage is needed to generate arc-type plasma, high voltage is generated through a transformer. In this case, the winding ratio may be determined in a range of 500 or more and 3000 or less. Under the control of the driving unit 201, the voltage provided to the primary coil of the transformer is induced to the secondary coil to allow arc discharge to the skin of the user through the electrode unit 220. In other words, the voltage applied to the primary coil of the transformer is boosted according to the turns ratio with the secondary coil to generate a plasma by an insulator or dielectric formed between the secondary coil and the generated plasma is the secondary coil. Since the electrode electrically connected to the electrode unit 220 connected to or connected to the user's skin is connected or grounded, the plasma generated in the same manner as the electrical discharge (ARC) can be output to the skin.

On the other hand, the voltage generator 211 generates and outputs high and positive (+) high voltage pulses, for example. In this case, the high voltage pulse may be determined or determined by the control unit 110 under the control of the control unit 110. For example, the level may be based on the skin condition of the user. Here, the skin condition may include drying information of the skin.

The switching unit 213 may include a plurality of switching elements for outputting the voltage generated by the voltage generator 211 to the electrode unit 220. The switching unit 213 may change the high voltage output under the control of the control unit 110 to a low voltage and output the low voltage, or output the electroporation voltage in a combination thereof. Here, the switching element may relay a high voltage, so that a high voltage relay may be preferable.

According to the above configuration, the control unit 110 switches the plasma processing unit 200 and the voltage variable unit 210 to generate the electroporation voltage, thereby implementing a complex mid-frequency electroporation technology for implementing a waveform in which high voltage and low voltage are simultaneously output. It is possible to simultaneously implement a lifting technique using an arc-type plasma. In addition, since the control unit 110 requires a high voltage to generate an arc plasma, the control unit 110 switches the switching unit 213 using a high voltage relay to protect the voltage generator 211 for electroporation. . Accordingly, the controller 110 facilitates simultaneous output of the plasma and the electroporation.

In addition, the controller 110 may control the voltage variable unit 210 to implement an electroporation technology having one or more peak values, thereby implementing a more efficient electroporation device. In this regard, in the embodiment of the present invention, the value of 100Vpp of the high voltage which a conventional hospital electroporation device generally has, and the low voltage 30Vpp that performs the role of the electroporation without giving a strong stress to the skin even when used at home for a long time By outputting a waveform having a peak (voltage of), it is possible to implement an electroporation technology having the same effect as in a hospital at home.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 110 may control the hybrid skin care unit 100 to perform approximately four types of operations as shown in [Table 1].

TABLE 1

As can be seen in Table 1, the controller 110 allows the output of both DC (type) electroporation and AC (type) electroporation voltages (type 1), or outputs only plasma. Method (type 2), allowing plasma and electroporation voltages to be output at the same time (type 3), or combining a combination of AC and DC electroporation voltages and high voltages for plasma generation. Voltage) to increase the efficiency of skin absorption through electroporation (type 4).

Meanwhile, the controller 110 may control the electroporation or the plasma operation according to the skin state of the user measured through the electrode unit in the hybrid skin care unit 100, but may also control the state output unit 120. . When the skin condition of the user is determined, the controller 110 controls the state output unit 120 to provide the user with feedback corresponding to the determined skin condition. To this end, the controller 110 may store the feedback state information corresponding to the skin condition, that is, the degree of dry skin, in the lookup table LUT and use the same. For example, if the skin is very dry, the user is notified, for example, to avoid vibration of the motor. The feedback state according to the drying degree, that is, the notification state is preset, and accordingly, the controller 110 may control the state output unit 120.

The state output unit 120 of FIG. 1 may notify the user of the skin condition of the user in various forms. Preferably, the user can be notified using the vibration of the light emitting device and the motor. Alternatively, the voice may be output to notify the user of the measured skin condition, or the user may be informed of the user's skin condition in various forms such as a message displayed on the screen of the display unit.

Based on this, the state output unit 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include various forms such as a light emitting unit, a display unit displaying a message, a vibration unit including a motor, a voice output unit, and the like. . Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the state output unit 120 will not be specifically limited to any one form.

3 is a view showing the structure of a skin care device according to another embodiment of the present invention, Figures 4 to 7 are views for explaining various types of voltage generated in the skin care device according to another embodiment of the present invention to be.

As shown in FIG. 3, the skin care device 290 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a part or all of the hybrid skin care unit 300, the control unit 310, and the state output unit 320. "Include some or all" is synonymous with the foregoing.

The hybrid skin care unit 300 includes some or all of the plasma processing unit 301, the voltage variable unit 303, and the electrode (connecting) unit 305. The plasma processor 301 includes a driver 301a and a transformer 301b, and the voltage variable unit 303 includes a pulse generator 303a and a high voltage relay 303b.

Here, the driving unit 301a includes switching elements such as FETs which are electrically connected in parallel with each other, and each switching element is electrically connected to the primary coil of the transformer 301b as shown in FIG. 3. The capacitor C and the resistor R connected between each switching element and the primary coil serve as a stabilizer for stably inputting the output voltage of the driving unit 301a to the primary side of the transformer 301b. can do. The secondary coils of the transformer 301b are respectively connected to both sides of the electrode portion 305. The turns ratio of the transformer 301b is determined at 500 or more and 3000 or less. In addition, the transformer 301b may include a dielectric between the primary coil and the secondary coil.

According to this configuration, the driving unit 301a is controlled by the control unit 310, and stably provides a high voltage at a level designated as the primary coil of the transformer 301b. For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the voltage induced in the secondary coil of the transformer 301b may have a sine wave shape as shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 4 illustrates a waveform of the plasma due to the voltage induced in the secondary coil. Is showing. Since the plasma waveform has an output voltage value of 1 KVpp or more and a frequency of 30 Hz or more and 100 Hz or less, the above turns ratio may be sufficiently inferred according to the output voltage value determined based on this. The above medium frequency range, in particular 40 kHz, can improve the absorption rate of wrinkle improvement components such as oligonucleotides, and thus may be more effective than skin lifting devices in which a conventional lifting function is implemented.

On the other hand, the pulse generator 303a constituting the voltage variable part 303 generates a high voltage pulse at which the positive level and the negative level cross each other. The pulse generator 303a may include, for example, a triangular wave generator for generating a triangular wave to generate a pulse voltage, and a comparator for comparing the level of the provided DC voltage. By referring to the DC voltage to determine the upper limit and the lower limit level, a pulse voltage having a pulse width at a point intersecting a triangular wave is generated. Raising and lowering the level of the DC voltage results in a larger and smaller pulse width, thereby determining the frequency of the high voltage pulse. Since this is well known to those skilled in the art, further description is omitted. In addition, the pulse generator 303a may determine the levels of the high voltage and the low voltage under the control of the controller 310, and may change or output the high voltage and the low voltage simultaneously. In addition, the pulse generator 303a may output a variety of electroporation voltages by performing a charge pumping operation under the control of the controller 310.

The positive and negative high voltage pulses generated by the pulse generator 303a, that is, the electroporation voltage, are applied to the high voltage relay 303b. The high voltage relay 303b is a switching element used to select which waveform (or voltage) of the high voltage pulse of the pulse generator 303a and the transformer 301b to be output. In the embodiment of the present invention, since both switching elements are used at a high voltage, it is preferable to use a high voltage relay for safety.

5 (a) and 5 (b) show the shape of the electroporation voltage according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5A shows a voltage in the form of AC (waveform) formed by the control of the high voltage relay unit 303b, and FIG. 5B shows a voltage in the form of DC (waveform). The high voltage relay unit 303b outputs a combination of the high voltage and the low voltage under the control of the controller 310 to output a voltage having a shape as shown in FIG. 5. The electroporation voltage is transmitted to both ends of the electrode unit 305 to be output to the user's skin.

As shown in FIG. 3, the controller 310 controls the driving unit 301a of the plasma processing unit 301 and the high voltage relay unit 303b of the voltage variable unit 303 so that the plasma generation and the electroporation operation are separately performed as described above. It can be controlled to be made.

In addition, the controller 310 operates the plasma processor 301 and the voltage variable unit 303 together (for example, at the same time or in a designated order) to perform an operation corresponding to an output waveform of the type shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. can do. In other words, FIG. 6 corresponds to a case where the controller 310 simultaneously operates the plasma processor 301 for generating plasma and the voltage variable part 303 for the electroporation operation, and FIG. The operation mode is changed with time). Of course, in the embodiment of the present invention in addition to the form illustrated in Figure 7, it is possible to create and apply a new waveform to the user's skin by a predetermined time or by changing the combination, it will not be particularly limited to the above form.

For example, the controller 310 may appropriately control the plasma processor 301 and the voltage variable unit 303 to measure the skin condition intermittently through the electrode unit 305 and perform a corresponding operation. Regarding the specific control method, since it can be preset as many as the test, the embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to any one method in particular.

In other words, the control unit 310 may operate only the plasma processing unit 301 at the request of the user (for example, the first mode) in order to add elasticity to the skin through skin generation. If there is a request to perform an operation for opening the skin passage (for example, the second mode) to operate only the voltage variable unit 303, and then, for example, to facilitate the introduction of the active ingredient after skin measurement (for example, the third mode). The plasma processing unit 301 may be operated simultaneously or sequentially according to a predetermined pattern. Of course, the mode switch may be automatically performed according to the skin measurement.

Referring to FIG. 3, the operation process is briefly described again. The controller 310 controls the high voltage relay unit 303b through the port A to control the pulse voltage output from the pulse generator 303a to the electrode unit 305. In addition, the controller 310 controls the driving unit 301a such as the FET using the port B to control the output of the plasma generated through the transformer 301b to the electrode unit 305. That is, the control unit 310 controls the plasma and the high voltage relay unit 303b, and the electroporation device having a waveform in which high voltage and low voltage are simultaneously output due to the circuit configuration, and the plasma generated by the arc method are the electrode unit 305. Can be output via At this time, by measuring the skin resistance through the electrode connected to the electrode unit 305, read the ADC (Analogue Digital Converting) value to the control unit 310 to determine the skin condition after the pulse level, LED output of the state output unit 320 and Feedback through the motor output can be provided to the user.

For example, the controller 310 may convert the measured value of the skin condition, that is, the skin voltage, into digital data through, for example, an ADC (Analogue Digital Converter), so as to be recognizable by, for example, the control circuit constituting the controller 310. have. In other words, since the control circuit can recognize only the machine language, the binary data (0, 1) is generated as the machine language. Accordingly, each section of 0 to 0.5V divided into five sections with respect to the skin condition may be represented by, for example, four bits of information. For example, 0V means 0000 as binary and 4-bit information, and 0.1V is expressed as 00001. Since this is only an example, the above is not particularly limited. In addition, the control unit 310 may include a signal processing unit for low-passing the data converted by the ADC, through which the control unit 310 removes the shaking value or the value that changes too small to the overall skin condition You can get a rough idea of the value, or more accurately.

As such, when the skin condition of the user is determined, the controller 310 controls the state output unit 320 to provide the user with feedback corresponding to the determined skin condition. To this end, the controller 310 may store the feedback state information corresponding to the skin condition, that is, the degree of dry skin, in the lookup table LUT and use the same. For example, if the skin is very dry, the user is notified, for example, to avoid vibration of the motor. The feedback state according to the drying degree, that is, the notification state is preset, and accordingly, the controller 310 may control the state output unit 320. That is, the controller 310 controls the LED output unit 321 and the motor output unit 323 of the state output unit 320.

In addition, the hybrid skin care unit 300, the controller 310, and the state output unit 320 of FIG. 3 may be described in detail with respect to the hybrid skin care unit 100, the controller 110, and the state output unit 120 of FIG. 1. Since it is not very different, I will replace it with the contents.

As a result of the above configuration, when the skin care device (90, 290) according to an embodiment of the present invention to stimulate the skin of the user with the electroporation and plasma, the skin care device 90, 290 is applied to the skin and the high voltage which is effective in the formation of the skin passage Since low voltage with less irritation occurs simultaneously, there is a greater chance of new pathways for active ingredients to be absorbed into the skin when high voltage is applied, and the amount absorbed into the skin increases. The stimulus is large enough to solve the problem that can not be used for a long time.

Conversely, if you use only low voltage for electroporation and increase the time applied to the skin, you can see the efficiency close to the skin absorption rate when the peak voltage is large, but when the voltage is small, the instantaneously applied voltage is high. There is a limit that the probability of the passage of the skin is smaller because it is relatively smaller than when, in the embodiment of the present invention will be able to solve this problem together.

In addition, the lifting effect will also be significantly higher than without the electroporation, because the electroporation can promote the absorption of the component that raises the lifting effect when lifting through the plasma.

8 is a flowchart illustrating a driving process of a skin care apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

For convenience of description, referring to FIG. 8 together with FIG. 1, the skin care device 90 according to an embodiment of the present invention generates at least one operation of plasma and electroporation on the skin of a user (S800).

In other words, the skin care device 90 generates plasma and outputs it to the user's skin or outputs high voltage and / or low voltage to the skin at a specified frequency having one or more peaks for electroporation. Here, the plasma according to the embodiment of the present invention generates a plasma in the arc method in order to reduce the ozone emission amount so as not to affect the human body, or contact the skin directly or use the DBD (Dielectric Barrier Discharge) method The concept of spreading over a large area can be related to contacting the skin with a low voltage. In the DBD method, since a low voltage is reached, the stimulus is less, but the amount of ozone emission is too high, which is very harmful to the human body. Directly, in addition to output to a narrow area of the skin, due to this can be seen that the ozone emission is rarely produced. Of course, if the designated high voltage is a relatively low high voltage, forming the frequency in the range of the medium frequency may also be useful for reducing the amount of ozone emission, and therefore, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited.

In addition, the skin care device 90 controls the operation of the plasma and the electroporation to occur together (for example, at the same time, in order) based on the skin condition of the user (S810).

Here, "control to occur together" can be interpreted in two ways. It may include generating at the same time, alternately generating a predetermined time interval (or according to the change of time), and a combination thereof. In this regard, as already described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, further description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, even if all the components constituting the embodiment of the present invention is described as being combined or operated in combination, the present invention is not necessarily limited to these embodiments. That is, within the scope of the present invention, all of the components may be selectively operated in combination with one or more. In addition, although all of the components may be implemented in one independent hardware, each or some of the components of the program modules are selectively combined to perform some or all of the functions combined in one or a plurality of hardware It may be implemented as a computer program having a. Codes and code segments constituting the computer program may be easily inferred by those skilled in the art. Such a computer program may be stored in a computer-readable non-transitory computer readable media and read and executed by a computer, thereby implementing an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the non-transitory readable recording medium refers to a medium that stores data semi-permanently and can be read by a device, not a medium storing data for a short time such as a register, a cache, or a memory. . Specifically, the above-described programs may be stored and provided in a non-transitory readable recording medium such as a CD, a DVD, a hard disk, a Blu-ray disk, a USB, a memory card, a ROM, or the like.

While the above has been shown and described with respect to preferred embodiments of the invention, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, it is usually in the art to which the invention belongs without departing from the spirit of the invention claimed in the claims. Various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art, and these modifications should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or the prospect of the present invention.
