Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a plasma generating device, and more particularly, to a device for irradiating plasma onto the skin of an animal using the plasma generating device. Background Art

[0002] In a 2021 survey, it was estimated that 29.7% of households in South Korea have pets. The relationship between pets and humans is said to be mutually beneficial and dynamic, especially improving human health and quality of life. People who keep pets have less group stress, a lower risk of heart disease and depression, and a stronger immune system.

[0003] However, raising a pet may require more time and effort than you think. Not only do you need to prepare feed on time, but you also need to buy treats, pet beds or toys, and take regular walks. In addition to time, there may be more financial expenses that you didn't expect before adopting a pet. In particular, pets are different from people and are not well insured, so just one visit to the hospital will cost more.

[0004] The reasons for pets to visit the hospital may be to treat skin diseases, prevent parasitic infections, or diseases caused by old age. Among them, skin diseases may be the main reason for pets to visit the hospital. The fur on pets such as cats and dogs prevents air from circulating to the pet's skin. Therefore, when moisture penetrates into the fur, various skin diseases or bad odors may occur.

[0005] Furthermore, skin may exist on the inside of the ear. In particular, the structure of pet ears is somewhat complicated compared to that of human ears, and unlike humans, pet ears also have long hair. As a result, pet ears are more susceptible to skin diseases, and it is difficult for owners to manage them. Therefore, there may be a need for a device that allows pet owners to directly manage their pets' skin.

[0043] In the present disclosure, a plasma generating device may be a device for a user to irradiate plasma onto the skin of a pet. Plasma is an ionized gas, which may be a solid, a liquid, a gas, and a fourth state of matter. Generally, plasma may be generated based on a high voltage discharge, and when induced onto the skin of a pet, it may be used for the purpose of treating and shaping the epidermis of the skin through sublimation. Here, sublimation may mean a phase transition phenomenon in which a substance in chemistry changes from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid process. A user may irradiate plasma onto the skin of a pet through a plasma generating device to promote the skin cell regeneration cycle or perform sterilization.

[0044] On the other hand, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, in order to irradiate plasma to the skin of a pet in a variety of ways, the plasma generating device may include boxes that are combined in a replaceable manner. As an example, the plasma generating device may include a first box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a short-haired pet with shorter fur. The plasma generating device may include a second box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a long-haired pet with longer fur. The plasma generating device may include a third box for irradiating plasma to the curved skin such as toes. The user can select an appropriate box from the first to third boxes to manage the skin of the pet.

[0045] Furthermore, the plasma generating device may include a light irradiation unit for reducing bacteria or fungi present in the pet's ears. The user may irradiate light to the inside of the pet's ears through the light irradiation unit to prevent the generation of bacteria or fungi or reduce the generated bacteria or fungi. Figures 1 to 7 The plasma generating device of the present disclosure will be described.

[0046] Figure 1 is a perspective view of an example of a plasma generating device for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a diagram for describing an example of a plasma generating device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The plasma generator 1000 may include a handheld unit 100, a head unit 200, a first box 300, and a light irradiation unit 400. However, the components are not essential for realizing the plasma generator 1000, so the plasma generator 1000 may include more or less components than the components listed above.

[0048] The handheld part 100 may be formed in a shape that a user can hold. The handheld part 100 may be formed in a shape that facilitates the user to hold the plasma generating device 1000.

[0049] The handheld part 100 may include at least one interface part, a light output part 130 , and a sound output part 140 .

[0050] At least one interface portion can receive input from a user. At least one interface portion can be implemented as at least one of a keyboard, a dome switch, a touch pad (static pressure / static electricity), a wheel, and a wheel switch. At least one interface portion can include a first interface portion 110 and a second interface portion 120.

[0051] The first interface portion 110 may be provided below the at least one cassette, and may receive an input from a user for controlling the at least one cassette.

[0052] Specifically, the plasma generating device 1000 according to the present disclosure may include the first box 300. The first box 300 may be used when plasma is generated in an area with short fur (eg, the skin of a short-haired pet with short fur or the belly of a pet).

[0053] The plasma generating device may include a second box. The second box may be used when generating plasma in an area with longer fur (e.g., the skin of a long-haired pet with longer fur or the back of a pet).

[0054] The plasma generating device may include a third box for irradiating plasma to curved skin such as toes. The first interface portion 110 may be provided below the first to third boxes and may receive an input from a user for controlling the first to third boxes.

[0055] The second interface portion 120 may be provided below the light irradiation portion 400 , and may receive an input from a user for controlling the light irradiation portion 400 .

[0056] In the present disclosure, the operation of the first interface portion 110 and the second interface portion 120 can be implemented in the opposite manner to the above example. For example, the first interface portion 110 can also be provided below at least one box, and can receive input from a user for controlling the light irradiation portion 400. The second interface portion 120 can be provided below the light irradiation portion 400, and can receive input from a user for controlling at least one box.

[0057] The light output unit 130 may include a light emitting diode (LED). The light output unit 130 may notify the user of the occurrence of an event by flashing the LED. For example, the light output unit 130 may notify the user of the operation of at least one box by flashing the LED. For another example, the light output unit 130 may notify the user of the operation of the light irradiation unit 400 by flashing the LED. In addition, the light output unit 130 may also change the form of light emission, the intensity of light emission, or the flashing cycle according to the intensity of the plasma generated by the plasma generating device 1000 and output it.

[0058] The sound output unit 140 may output audio data such as operation guidance of at least one box, operation guidance of the light irradiation unit 400, or effect sound, etc. The sound output unit 140 may include a speaker or a buzzer, etc.

[0059] The head 200 may include a plasma generating unit for generating plasma. Plasma is an ionized gas, which may be a solid, a liquid, a gas, or a fourth state of matter. Generally, plasma may be generated based on a high voltage discharge, and when induced to the pet's skin, it may be used for the purpose of treating and shaping the epidermis of the skin through sublimation. Here, sublimation may mean a phase change phenomenon in chemistry where a substance changes from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid process.

[0060] The plasma generated in the plasma generating section can be irradiated to the skin of the pet through at least one box. The plasma generating device 1000 disclosed in the present invention can generate plasma through a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) method. The dielectric barrier discharge method can generate high-power discharge at atmospheric pressure, and because it has a built-in complex pulse power supply, it can be a widely used method. Specifically, the dielectric barrier discharge method can be composed of a metal electrode. At least one electrode can be covered by a dielectric layer. If an insulator is used, in the case of direct current power, current cannot flow through the electrode, so alternating current (AC) power can be used to generate plasma. The dielectric layer can block the reverse current and avoid arc transfer, so that operation can be performed in a continuous pulse mode. In addition, the dielectric layer can randomly distribute the electrons accumulated on the surface, inducing uniform discharge of the plasma.

[0061] The first box 300 can be detachably coupled to the first end of the head 200 and can generate plasma for a given area. In the present disclosure, the first box 300 can be a box for irradiating plasma to an area with short fur (e.g., the skin of a short-haired pet with short fur or the abdomen of a pet).

[0062] Specifically, the first box 300 may include a first frame, which forms at least a part of the appearance of the first box 300 and is formed to be detachable at the edge of the first end of the head 200; and a plurality of first protrusions, which are formed on the frame. The plurality of first protrusions may be formed on the frame at preset intervals. The user can comb the pet's fur through the plurality of first protrusions formed at preset intervals. The user can treat skin inflammation or kill bacteria, mites, etc. by irradiating plasma to the pet's skin. In the following, by Figure 3 An example of the first cartridge 300 of the present disclosure will be described.

[0063] In the present disclosure, the plasma generating device 1000 may include a second box. The second box is used when plasma is generated in an area with longer fur (for example, the skin of a long-haired pet with longer fur or the back of a pet). The second box can be detachably coupled to the first end of the head 200, and plasma can be generated for a predetermined area. The user can comb the pet's fur through the multiple second protrusions provided on the second box, thereby exposing the skin. The user can irradiate plasma to the exposed skin of the pet. The user can combine the first box 300 with the head 200 for use, or combine the second box with the head 200 for use as needed. Below, through Figure 4 An example of the second cartridge of the present disclosure will be described.

[0064] In the present disclosure, the plasma generating device 1000 may include a third box for irradiating plasma to the curved skin such as the toes. The third box is detachably coupled to the first end of the head 200, and can generate plasma for a predetermined area. The user can couple the third box to the head 200 as needed. Figure 5 An example of the third cartridge of the present disclosure will be described.

[0065] The light irradiation part 400 may be provided at the second end of the head 200. The second end may be the other end of the first end of the head 200 to which at least one cartridge is coupled.

[0066] The light irradiation unit 400 can irradiate light into the pet's ear. The user can irradiate light into the pet's ear through the light irradiation unit 400 to eliminate bacteria or germs that may exist inside the ear. Alternatively, the user can irradiate light into the pet's ear through the light irradiation unit 400 to calm the skin. Alternatively, the light irradiation unit 400 can also irradiate light onto the pet's skin such as the back, abdomen, or soles of the feet. Figure 6 An example of the light irradiation unit will be described.

[0067] The plasma generating device 1000 may be charged by the charging unit 2000. The user may charge power for driving the plasma generating device 1000 by coupling the plasma generating device to the charging unit 2000. Alternatively, the plasma generating device 1000 may also be equipped with an additional charging port for charging power.

[0068] According to the above structure, the plasma generator 1000 can irradiate plasma to the skin of the pet through at least one box. The at least one box may include a first box 300, a second box, and a third box for different purposes. The user can select an appropriate box from the first to third boxes to irradiate plasma according to the species of the pet, the fur state of the pet, or the part for irradiating plasma. In the past, in order to perform appropriate surgery according to the part, it was necessary to equip a plurality of plasma generators with different functions. However, in the plasma generator 1000 disclosed in the present invention, the first to third boxes can be detachably combined with the head 200. Therefore, the user does not need to purchase a plurality of plasma generators, and thus can save the cost of equipping the plasma generator. Furthermore, in addition to at least one box for generating plasma, the plasma generator 1000 disclosed in the present invention can also be equipped with a light irradiation unit 400. Therefore, the cost required for the user to equip the device for managing the skin of the pet can be further saved.

[0069] Below, through Figures 3 to 6 At least one box and the light irradiation unit 400 of the present disclosure will be described.

[0070] Figure 3 is a diagram of an example of a first box for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 (a) is a front view of an example of a first box for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 3 (b) is a perspective view of an example of a first box for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. The first box 300 may be a box for irradiating plasma to an area with short fur (eg, the skin of a short-haired pet with short fur or the abdomen of a pet).

[0071] Reference Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3 In (b), the first box 300 may include a first action portion 310 and a first combining portion 320 .

[0072] The first action portion 310 may irradiate plasma toward a region facing the first action surface 311 through a predetermined first action surface 311 .

[0073] As an example, the plasma generating device 1000 of the present disclosure may be a dielectric barrier discharge mode. The plasma generating device 1000 may irradiate the skin of a pet with plasma generated by the dielectric barrier discharge mode through the first action surface 311. The first action surface 311 may be formed as a flat or substantially flat surface. The plasma generating device 1000 may induce substantially uniform irradiation of plasma through the first action surface 311.

[0074] The first coupling portion 320 may be coupled to the first acting portion 310 and detachably coupled to the head portion 200 . The first coupling portion 320 may include a first frame 321 and a plurality of first protrusions 322 .

[0075] The first frame 321 may be formed to be detachable at the edge of the first end of the head.

[0076] A plurality of first protrusions 322 may be formed on the first frame 321 and combined with the side of the first action portion 310. The plurality of first protrusions 322 may be formed on the first frame 321 in a manner that does not protrude in front of the first action portion 310. As an example, the first box 300 may be a box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a short-haired pet with short fur. The plurality of first protrusions 322 may be formed in a manner that does not protrude in front of the first action portion 310 so that the user can comb the fur of the short-haired pet.

[0077] In the present disclosure, as a plurality of first protrusions 322 are coupled to the side of the first action unit 310 at a preset interval, a first suction hole h1 may be formed on the first box 300. The plasma generating device 1000 may inhale ozone (O3) generated as plasma is irradiated to the skin through the first suction hole h1 formed on the first box 300.

[0078] Specifically, when plasma is irradiated to the skin of a pet, it will have an adverse effect on humans. In addition, ozone with an odor will be generated. In order to remove this ozone. The plasma generating device 1000 may include an ozone removal unit. As an example, the ozone removal unit may include an intake fan for inhaling ozone. When the intake fan is running, ozone can be inhaled into the interior of the plasma generating device 1000 through the first intake hole h1 formed in the first box 300. Therefore, the pet owner can safely irradiate plasma to the pet's skin. Furthermore, plasma can be irradiated to the outside through the first action surface 311, whereby ozone can be generated near the first action surface 311. Therefore, when the first intake hole h1 is formed by a plurality of first protrusions 322 coupled to the side of the first action portion 310 at preset intervals, the generated ozone can be effectively inhaled through the first intake hole h1. Below, by Figure 7 and Figure 8An example of the ozone removal unit of the present disclosure will be described.

[0079] According to the above structure, the plasma generating device 1000 may include a first box 300 detachably coupled to the head 200. The first box 300 may include a plurality of first protrusions 322 coupled to the side of the first action portion 310 at a preset interval. The plurality of first protrusions 322 are provided at a predetermined interval, so that the user can comb the fur of the pet through the plurality of first protrusions 322. In addition, the first protrusions 322 are not protruded more than the front of the first action portion 310, so that the interval between the action surface 311 and the skin can be prevented from becoming excessively far in the area where the fur of the pet is shorter.

[0080] As described above, if the pet's fur is not combed and plasma is irradiated to the pet's fur, the plasma may not reach the skin even if the plasma is irradiated to the pet. In this case, even if the plasma is irradiated, the treatment effect will be imperfect. Therefore, the first box 300 of the present disclosure may include a plurality of first protrusions 322 coupled to the side of the first action portion 310 at preset intervals. Thus, the user can expose the skin by combing the pet's fur, and can irradiate plasma to the exposed skin.

[0081] On the other hand, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plasma generating device 1000 may include a second box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a long-haired pet. Figure 4 An example of the second cartridge of the present disclosure will be described.

[0082] Figure 4 is a diagram for describing an example of a second box according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 (a) is a front view of an example of a second box for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. Figure 4 (b) is a perspective view of an example of a second box for describing some embodiments of the present disclosure. The second box 500 may be a box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a long-haired pet with long fur.

[0083] Reference Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 In (b), the second box 500 may include a second action portion 510 and a second combining portion 520 .

[0084] The second action portion 510 may irradiate plasma toward a region facing the second action surface 511 through a predetermined second action surface 511 .

[0085] As an example, the plasma generating device 1000 of the present disclosure may be a dielectric barrier discharge mode. The plasma generating device 1000 may irradiate the skin of a pet with plasma generated by the dielectric barrier discharge mode through the second action surface 511. The second action surface 511 may be formed as a flat or substantially flat surface. The plasma generating device 1000 may induce uniform irradiation of plasma through the second action surface 511.

[0086] The second coupling portion 520 may be coupled to the second acting portion 510 and detachably coupled to the head portion 200. The second coupling portion 520 may include a second frame 521 and a plurality of second protrusions 522.

[0087] The second frame 521 may be formed to be detachable at the edge of the first end of the head.

[0088] A plurality of second protrusions 522 may be formed on the second frame 521 and combined with the side of the second action portion 510. The plurality of second protrusions 522 may be formed on the second frame 521 in a manner protruding to the front of the second action portion 510. As an example, the second box 500 may be a box for irradiating plasma to the skin of a long-haired pet with long fur. The plurality of second protrusions 522 may be formed in a manner protruding to the front of the second action portion 510 so that the user can comb the fur of the long-haired pet. The second protrusions 522 are made to protrude more than the front of the second action portion 510, so that the skin can be effectively exposed to the second action surface 511 in the area where the pet has long fur.

[0089] In the present disclosure, as a plurality of second protrusions 522 are coupled to the side of the second action unit 510 at a preset interval, a second suction hole h2 may be formed on the second box 500. The plasma generating device 1000 may inhale ozone generated as plasma is irradiated to the skin through the second suction hole h2 formed on the second box 500.

[0090] According to the above structure, the plasma generating device 1000 may include a second box 500 detachably coupled to the head 200. The second box 500 may include a plurality of second protrusions 522 coupled to the side of the second action portion 510 at a preset interval. The plurality of second protrusions 522 are provided at a predetermined interval, so that the user can comb the fur of the pet through the plurality of second protrusions 522. The user can expose the skin by combing the fur of the pet, thereby irradiating the exposed skin with plasma. In addition, the plurality of second protrusions 522 may protrude to the front of the second action portion 510.
