Description

Apparatus for Managing Skin Based on Physical Power and Driving Method Thereof}

The present invention relates to a physical force-based skin care device and a method of driving the device, and more specifically, to manage the skin in a form of applying physical force to one side by contacting the skin to improve wrinkles in a specific area such as forehead or forehead It relates to a physical force-based skin care device and a driving method of the device.

Generally, a person loses skin elasticity with age, resulting in wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Because of this, people use various types of functional cosmetics to maintain skin elasticity. However, since the skin has a function of protecting the human body from external stimuli or substances, it also exhibits impermeable properties for water-soluble ingredients, and thus it is not possible to effectively care for the skin just by applying functional cosmetics to the skin. In contrast, various skin care devices have been developed in the past. Skin care devices include various devices that remove skin waste using electric current, and devices that manage skin using vibration, low frequency, galvanic, warming, and ozone. In addition, there is also a study on a skin care device that supplies hydrogen water to the skin that contributes to removing free radicals that aging blood, blood vessels, and cells.

Above all, in the conventional method used at home to improve the wrinkles between the forehead and the forehead, there has been known a method of wearing an infrared-based skin care mask over the entire face or ② using a mask pack dedicated to the forehead to improve forehead wrinkles.

However, in the former case, it is generally necessary for female office workers who want to receive skin care to remove all cosmetic products on the face in order to use it for skin care, and protect the eyes when wearing a skin care device. There are restrictions on winding and using. Therefore, when the skin care device is worn, there is a feeling of restraint that cannot perform other actions than skin care, and since it is managed as a whole, it is difficult to intensively manage the parts. In general, the characteristics of the skin are different for each part of the face, and since each person has a different face shape, it is inevitable that overall skin care is less efficient.

In the latter case, it is a method of absorbing the active ingredient of the cosmetic that improves wrinkles into the skin by using a pack for improving the forehead wrinkles. In order to increase the absorption rate of these active ingredients, an ion introduction group is generally used, but this has a limitation in absorption rate because it is absorbed using an existing channel of the skin.

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

1 is a view showing a wearable-based skin care device according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a view showing a schematic structure of a roller provided in the skin care device of Figure 1, and Figure 3 is a view of Figure 1 It is a view for explaining the approximate position and number of electrodes provided in the skin care apparatus.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wearable (based) skin care apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes some or all of the skin care apparatus 110 and the wearing part 120.

Here, "including a part or all" means that the wearing part 120 may be formed integrally with the skin care apparatus 110 or may be formed separately, etc., which are all included in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention. Explain that.

First, the skin care apparatus 110 has a form that can effectively apply the technology between the forehead and the forehead as shown in FIG. 1. The product is designed to allow intensive management between the forehead and the forehead, and it can be particularly useful for busy modern women because it can be intensively managed only in specific areas even when wearing this type of device.

The skin care device 110 may be formed integrally with the wear part 120 when manufacturing the product, but the wear part 120 is separately formed and coupled to the skin care device 110, that is, the wear part 120 is It is also possible to form the skin care device 110 so as to have a structure that can be easily attached and detached. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The skin care apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention selectively manages wrinkles such as a forehead and uses a physical method. The physical method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be largely divided into two types. One is to press one side of the area you want to care for the skin and apply physical force to the other side. The other is a method of simultaneously applying physical force to both sides of a site receiving skin care using the skin care device 110. For example, if performing an operation of unfolding wrinkles, one side is pressed based on the wrinkles and physical force is applied to the other side using a physical device such as a roller 111 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Of course, the physical device need not be limited to the roller 111.

The skin care device 110 is a specific example, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, two rollers 111 located inside the skin care device 110 are rotated in an outward direction based on wrinkles to the skin. A wrinkle may be stretched by applying a physical stimulus. The roller 111 is driven based on a motor, and when the user performs skin care using electroporation, skin care using plasma, or when both are used at the same time, or when both are not used, the speed and roller 111 ) Can be selected or not, and the operation period can also be set. The position or number of rollers 111 according to an embodiment of the present invention may vary depending on experiments.

In addition, the skin care device 110 is arranged with a plurality of electrodes (113a, 113b) on the skin care device 110 as shown in Figure 3 to output the (waveform) voltage of the plasma and / or electroporation. Specifically, the first electrode 113a in the forehead region and the second electrode 113b in the tail region may be divided. The reason why small electrodes 113a and 113b are used without using one electrode is to reduce the area of the electrodes 113a and 113b to make the area in contact with the skin the same to give the same current density. Anything can be changed through. The smaller area is because the larger the electrodes 113a, 113b, the more it can float without being in contact with a curved forehead. The skin care device 110 arranges the electrodes 113a and 113b to the forehead to manage not only the forehead wrinkles but also the forehead wrinkles, and the size of the electrodes 113a and 113b may be smaller because the forehead may be more curved than the forehead. Can.

Wearing a wearable skin care device 100 after applying wrinkle-improving active ingredients (e.g., oligonucleotid) to the forehead so that the active ingredients that improve wrinkles through electroporation can be efficiently absorbed on the forehead It is desirable to do. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the skin care apparatus 110 may selectively use electroporation and plasma, wherein the electroporation outputs a (waveform) voltage having a high voltage and a low voltage as peaks at the same time. Therefore, the active ingredient can be absorbed more effectively.

Likewise, to improve wrinkles and skin texture through plasma, the wearable skin care apparatus 100 is worn as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, since the plasma is generated by using the arc (ARC) method, there is almost no ozone emission, and small Since the area is reduced by using an electrode, it is possible to reduce the pain of the tingling sensation felt in the skin when the plasma is output in the arc method. In addition, in the case of plasma, energy can be transferred to the skin tissue structure to promote the production of cells, thereby increasing the skin regeneration ability. Therefore, in the improvement of the forehead wrinkles and the interdental wrinkles, it can show a higher performance than the existing beauty devices using only infrared or microcurrent. .

Furthermore, the skin care device 110 may further use a micro-current for the lifting effect of the forehead in addition to the above functions.

In addition, the skin care device 110 may provide feedback to the user by grasping the condition of the skin and the application state of the active ingredient (eg, amount, application distribution, etc.) through the electrode, and roughly steps the condition of the skin. By dividing and dividing it, the user can roughly express the current progress through the light emitting element (eg, LED), so that more active skin care is possible.

Meanwhile, the wearing part 120 may be formed in various forms, such as an expandable band, to be integrally formed on both sides of the skin care apparatus 110 or be fastened through a separate fastening structure. The wearing part 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention is necessary to form the skin care device 110 as a wearable base, but above all, the pressure applied to the forehead or the forehead by the wear part 120 is the skin care device 110 ) Is provided in the direct or indirect contact with the user's skin may affect the physical force of the roller 111 to apply the physical force.

However, even if there is no wearing part 120 in the form of a band, it may be possible for a user to operate the skin care device 110 by hand (for example, pressing (or squeezing)) on the forehead through a structure formed in the form of a handle. In the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

4 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the skin care device of FIG. 1.

As shown in Figure 4, the skin care apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a part or all of the electrode generating unit 400, the control unit 410 and the skin improvement unit 420.

Here, "including all or a part" may be configured by omitting some components such as the electrode generator 400 or the electrode generator 400 integrated into other components such as the controller 410. It means a thing, etc., and it is explained as including everything in order to assist in the full understanding of the invention.

A plurality of electrode generating units 400 may be formed according to the number of electrodes. Under the control of the control unit 410, the electrode generator 400 performs an operation for measuring the skin condition, forming a skin passage, regenerating the skin, and promoting absorption of drugs or active ingredients (hereinafter, active ingredients). To this end, the electrode generator 400 may perform a variable voltage operation for implementing the electroporation function and a plasma processing operation for generating plasma. In addition, the electrode generating unit 400 may include an electrode unit, that is, an electrode that contacts a user's skin, and may include an output unit for outputting high voltage or low voltage and plasma for electroporation.

Furthermore, the electrode generating unit 400 provides the control unit 410 to determine the skin condition of the user by measuring the skin condition and the application state of the active ingredient through the electrode portion. 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, when generating a plasma to promote the absorption rate of the active ingredient, the electrode generating unit 400 uses a high voltage (for example, 1KVpp) at a specified high level in the range of the medium frequency or is variable within the range. It is possible to output, and at this time, it is possible to increase the effect by outputting together the voltage (hereinafter, the electroporation voltage) generated to execute the electroporation operation. Here, the electroporation voltage may include a composite medium frequency voltage having one or more peaks (peak to peak).

The control unit 410 may implement an electroporation technology having one or more peak values by controlling the electrode generator 400 to implement a more efficient electroporation device compared to the conventional one. In this regard, in the embodiment of the present invention, the value of 100 Vpp of a high voltage that an existing hospital electroporation device generally has and 30 Vpp of a low voltage that performs the role of electroporation without exerting strong stress on the skin even when used at home for a long time are used. By outputting the voltage of the peak (waveform), 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 410 may control the electrode generation unit 400 and the skin improvement unit 420 such that approximately seven types of operations are performed as shown in [Table 1].

[Table 1]

As can be seen in [Table 1], the control unit 410 may basically determine whether to operate the roller, for example, to apply physical force to the user's skin. In addition, it is determined whether to perform the operation of at least one of the electroporation and plasma together with the operation of the roller to control the electrode generation unit 400 and the skin improvement unit 420. This type of control is determined according to the condition of the skin or the application of the active ingredient, or the determined method can be changed as much as possible, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, in addition to the above basic control method, the control unit 410 may perform more detailed control with respect to the type of control of the electroporation, plasma, or even the roller. For example, the controller 410 may output at least one of DC (type) electroporation and AC (type) electroporation voltages, or both AC and DC electroporation voltages and high voltages for plasma generation are combined. By outputting a complex waveform (voltage of), the efficiency of skin absorption through electroporation can be increased.

The skin improvement unit 420 includes a physical device that applies physical force to at least one side of a site for skin care. In the embodiment of the present invention, a roller is mentioned as an example of a physical device, but it will not be particularly limited. For example, it is possible to apply a pressure to one side of a site for skin care based on skin texture or wrinkles, and push or pull the other side to spread the wrinkles or design and use such a device. to be.

On the other hand, the skin care apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a control unit 410, excluding the electrode of the electrode generating unit 400 or the roller of the skin improving unit 420 directly or indirectly involved in the user's skin, etc. The rest of the parts may be configured as stand-alone devices, and may be configured to control electrodes and rollers in separate devices. This may be appropriately used to reduce the weight of the wearable skin care apparatus 100 or to prevent the fear due to electromagnetic waves of the electronic circuit.

In addition to this, the skin care apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes various components such as a user interface unit for receiving a user request, a status output unit for informing a user of a skin condition or an application state of an active ingredient, and the like. It can contain. Here, the status output unit may include various forms such as LED light emission, vibration, message display, and voice. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the state output unit will not be specifically limited to any one form.

5 is a block diagram illustrating another structure of the skin care apparatus of FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the skin care apparatus 110 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention includes an electrode generating part 500, a control part 510, a skin improving part 520 and an LED light emitting part 530. Includes all or part, and "including all or part" herein has the same meaning as above.

The electrode generator 500 includes part or all of the plasma processing unit 500-1, the voltage variable unit 500-2, and the electrode (connection) unit 505. The plasma processing unit 500-1 includes a driving unit 501 and a transformer 503, and the voltage variable unit 500-2 includes a pulse generator 507 and a high voltage relay unit 509. The electrode generation unit 500 may be configured in a number according to the number of electrodes or the electrode unit 505, and accordingly, the port A and the port B may be increased.

The driving unit 501 includes switching elements such as FETs that are electrically connected in parallel to each other, and each switching element is electrically connected to the primary coil of the transformer 503, as shown in FIG. 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 501 to the primary side of the transformer 503. can do. The secondary coils of the transformer 503 are respectively connected to both sides of the electrode unit 505. The winding ratio of the transformer 503 may be determined at 500 or more and 3000 or less. In addition, the transformer 503 may include a dielectric between the primary side coil and the secondary side coil.

According to its configuration, the driving unit 501 is controlled by the control unit 510 and stably provides a high voltage at a level designated as a primary coil of the transformer 503. For example, the voltage induced in the secondary coil of the transformer 503 according to an embodiment of the present invention may have a sinusoidal wave form. Since the plasma waveform has an output voltage value of 1 KVpp or more and a frequency of 30 Hz to 100 Hz, the above turns ratio may be sufficiently inferred according to the determined output voltage value. The above mid-frequency range, especially 40 Hz, can improve the absorption rate of wrinkle-improving ingredients such as oligonucleotides, so it can be more effective than a skin beauty machine with a conventional lifting function.

On the other hand, the pulse generator 507 constituting the voltage variable unit 500-2 generates a high voltage pulse in which positive and negative levels intersect. The pulse generator 507 may include, for example, a triangular wave generator that generates a triangular wave to generate a pulse voltage, and a comparator that compares the level of the provided DC voltage. It refers to the DC voltage that determines the upper and lower limit levels, and generates a pulse voltage having a pulse width at a point crossing a triangular wave. When the level of the DC voltage is raised and lowered, the pulse width becomes larger and smaller accordingly, so that the frequency of the high voltage pulse can be determined. Since this is well known to those skilled in the art, further explanation is omitted. In addition, the pulse generator 507 may determine the levels of the high voltage and the low voltage under the control of the control unit 510, and may change or output the high voltage and the low voltage simultaneously. Further, the pulse generator 507 may output a variety of electroporation voltages by performing a charge pumping operation under the control of the controller 510.

The positive and negative high voltage pulses generated by the pulse generator 507, that is, the electroporation voltage, are applied to the high voltage relay unit 509. The high voltage relay unit 509 is a switching element used to select which waveform (or voltage) of the high voltage pulse and the transformer 503 of the pulse generator 507 is output. In the embodiment of the present invention, since both switching elements are used for high voltage, it is preferable to use a high voltage relay for safety.

5, the control unit 510 controls the high-voltage relay unit 509 of the driving unit 501 and the voltage variable unit 500-2 of the plasma processing unit 500-1 to generate plasma and electrophores as described above. It is possible to control the operation to be performed individually, and further, the control unit 510 may operate the plasma processing unit 500-1 and the voltage variable unit 500-2 together (for example, simultaneously or in a designated order).

For example, the control unit 510 may appropriately control the plasma processing unit 500-1 and the voltage variable unit 500-2 so that the corresponding operation is performed after intermittently measuring the skin condition through the electrode unit 505. have. Regarding a specific control method, it is determined by a test and can be set as many times as possible, so the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one method.

In other words, in order to add elasticity to the skin through skin generation, the control unit 510 may operate only the plasma processing unit 500-1 according to a user's request (eg, the first mode), and if effective If there is a request to perform an operation for opening the skin passage for injection (eg, the second mode), only to operate the voltage variable part 500-2 and then, for example, to promote the injection of the active ingredient after skin measurement (eg : 3rd mode) The plasma processing unit 500-1 may be operated simultaneously or sequentially according to a predetermined pattern. Of course, depending on the skin measurement, the mode may be switched automatically. In this process, the control unit 510 may perform an operation (eg, a fourth mode) for applying physical force to a region for skin care.

Referring briefly to the operation process again with reference to FIG. 5, the control unit 510 controls the high voltage relay unit 509 through the port A to control the pulse voltage output from the pulse generator 507 to the electrode unit 505. In addition, the control unit 510 controls the driving unit 501 such as an FET using the port B to control the output of the plasma generated through the transformer 503 to the electrode unit 505. That is, the control unit 510 controls the plasma and the high-pressure relay unit 509, and due to this circuit configuration, the high voltage and low voltage are output simultaneously, the electroporation device having the waveform and the plasma generated by the arc method are the electrode unit 505. ). At this time, by measuring the skin resistance through the electrode connected to the electrode unit 505, read the value of the ADC (Analogue Digital Converting) to the control unit 510, determine the skin condition, and then display the pulse level and the skin LED light emitting unit 530 It provides the feedback through the LED output of the user. Along with this, the control unit 510 controls the motor driving unit 521 of the skin improvement unit 520 according to the skin condition, the condition of the active ingredient applied to the skin (eg, amount, distribution of application), and the like, and the plurality of roller portions 523 Let be driven.

For example, the control unit 510 may convert the measured value of the skin condition, that is, the skin voltage, to digital data through, for example, an internal analog digital converter (ADC), so that it can be recognized by, for example, a control circuit constituting the control unit 510. have. In other words, since the control circuit can recognize only the machine language, binary data (0, 1) is generated as the machine language. Therefore, in relation to the skin condition, each section of 0 to 0.5V divided into 5 sections, for example, may be expressed as 4 bit information. For example, if it is 0V, it becomes 0000 as binary and 4-bit information, and 0.1V is expressed as 00001. This is only an example, and is not particularly limited above. For example, a method using a qubit, which is an information processing unit of a recently emerging quantum computer, may be possible. In addition, the control unit 510 may include a signal processing unit for low-passing the data converted through the ADC, through which the control unit 510 removes the instantaneous shaking value or the value that is too small to change the overall skin condition. The value can be roughly or more accurately grasped.

As described above, when the user's skin condition is determined, the control unit 510 controls the LED light emitting unit 530 so that feedback corresponding to the determined skin condition is provided to the user, and also controls the motor driving unit 521 to control the roller unit 523. Let be driven. To this end, the controller 510 may use the feedback state information matching the skin state, that is, the degree of skin dryness, in the look-up table LUT. For example, if the skin is very dry, for example, it emits a red LED to notify the user. In addition, the speed of the rollers constituting the roller portion 523 is reduced to reduce the physical force applied to the user's skin. The feedback state according to the drying degree, that is, the notification state and the motor control information are preset, so that the controller 510 can control the LED light emitting unit 530 and the motor driving unit 521.

The skin improvement unit 520 includes a motor driving unit 521 and a roller unit 523. The motor driving part 521 includes a motor for controlling each roller part 523. The motor may be controlled by the controller 510 according to a preset value after measuring the user's skin condition, the condition of the active ingredient applied to the skin, and the like.

The LED light emitting unit 530 includes an LED light emitting element for feedback of a user's skin condition. The LED light emitting part 530 is a part of the state output part for feedback of the user's skin state, and in addition, the skin care apparatus 110' according to another embodiment of the present invention can inform the user of the user's skin state in various forms. There will be. Preferably, the user can be notified to the user using the vibration of the light emitting element and the motor, but can output a voice to inform the user of the measured skin condition, or to the user in various forms such as the form of a message displayed on the screen of the display unit. You will be able to tell the condition of your skin.

Based on this, the skin care apparatus 110' according to another embodiment of the present invention has various forms such as a display unit displaying a message, etc. in addition to the LED light emitting unit 530, a vibration unit including a motor, and an audio output unit. It may include more.

As a result of the above configuration, when the skin care devices 110 and 110' according to the embodiment of the present invention stimulate electroporation and plasma together to the user's skin, the skin has a high voltage and a great effect on the formation of skin passages. Since the low voltage with less irritation applied simultaneously appears, and when only high voltage is applied, the probability that a new pathway through which the active ingredient can be absorbed into the skin increases and the amount absorbed into the skin increases, and further, the voltage is applied to the skin because the conventional voltage value is large. It will be able to solve the problem that could not be used for a long time due to the large stimulus.

Conversely, if the time applied to the skin is increased by using only a low voltage for electroporation, the efficiency close to the skin absorption rate when the peak voltage is large can be seen, but when the voltage is small, the magnitude of the instantaneously applied voltage is used for high voltage. Since it is relatively smaller than the case, there may be a limit that the probability of a passage in the skin is small. In the embodiment of the present invention, such a problem will also be solved.

In addition, when lifting through plasma, the absorption effect of components that enhance the lifting effect can be promoted through electroporation and, furthermore, by using microcurrent, the lifting effect will also be significantly higher than when there is no electroporation.

The electrode generator 500 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be variously designed according to the intention of a system designer. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to either method. It can be seen that FIG. 5 illustrates one of many examples. In other words, in FIG. 5, although the control unit 510 directly controls the plasma processing unit 500-1 and the voltage variable unit 500-2 of the skin care apparatus 110 ′, for example, a separate switching unit The plasma processing unit 500-1 and the voltage variable unit 500-2 are connected to, and the control unit 510 controls the switching unit to indirectly connect the plasma processing unit 500-1 and the voltage variable unit 500-2. This is because control can be as much as possible. This may be judged comprehensively in consideration of manufacturing costs.

6 is a flowchart showing a driving process of the skin care apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 together with FIG. 1 for convenience of explanation, the skin care apparatus 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention manages the skin in a form of contacting the user's skin (directly or indirectly) and applying physical force to one side. (S600). In the embodiment of the present invention, as an example thereof, it has been described that a roller is provided on the top and bottom and/or left and right to drive the corresponding roller to apply physical force to the user's skin.
