Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of beauty instruments, and in particular to a laser hair removal handpiece. Background Art

[0002] A laser hair removal handpiece is part of a handheld laser hair removal machine used for hair removal treatments, also known as a laser treatment handpiece. During treatment, the handpiece's treatment head typically contacts the skin directly, and the laser's radiating light is then transmitted through the handpiece's window. This requires the handpiece to have excellent cooling performance, which eliminates the pain caused by the heat generated by the laser's output during treatment. Conventional laser hair removal handpieces typically utilize multiple semiconductor cooling elements for cooling, which is relatively costly. Utility Model Content

In a first aspect, the present invention provides a laser hair removal handpiece comprising: a handpiece housing, a treatment head, a water tank, a single semiconductor cooler, a water cooling plate, and a laser emitting device.

[0004] The treatment head is fixed to one side of the handpiece housing, the water tank and the water-cooling plate are fixed in the handpiece housing, the water tank is in communication with the treatment head, and the water tank contains cooling liquid, which can be circulated between the water tank and the treatment head; a single semiconductor refrigerator is arranged between the water tank and the water-cooling plate, wherein the cooling surface of the single semiconductor refrigerator is in contact with the bottom of the water tank; and the other surface of the single semiconductor refrigerator away from the cooling surface is in contact with the top surface of the water-cooling plate;

[0005] The laser emitting device is arranged on the water-cooling plate and connected to the water-cooling plate by bolts; the light-emitting side of the laser emitting device is spaced apart from the treatment head;

[0006] The treatment head is provided with a plurality of microchannels. The cooling liquid in the water tank first flows into the plurality of microchannels in the treatment head to dissipate heat for the treatment head, and then returns to the water tank from the microchannels in the treatment head.

[0007] In the solution provided in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a single semiconductor cooler is provided in the laser hair removal handpiece, and the single semiconductor cooler is provided between the water tank and the water-cooling plate. The cooling surface of the single semiconductor cooler is in contact with the bottom of the water tank, and the other surface away from the cooling surface is in contact with the top surface of the water-cooling plate. The cold surface of the single semiconductor cooler is used to cool the cooling liquid in the water tank to achieve heat dissipation of the treatment head. Compared with the related art method in which the laser hair removal handpiece uses multiple semiconductor coolers, which results in higher costs, the laser hair removal handpiece is provided with only a single semiconductor cooler for heat dissipation of the treatment head, thereby reducing the cost of the laser hair removal handpiece, making the laser hair removal handpiece simple and compact in structure, and reducing the weight of the laser hair removal handpiece. Moreover, in order to ensure the heat dissipation effect when using a single semiconductor cooler, a plurality of microchannels capable of circulating cooling liquid are provided in the treatment head to increase the contact area between the cooling liquid and the treatment head, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the cooling liquid on the treatment head.

[0017] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0018] In this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on specific circumstances.

[0019] Laser hair removal devices are widely used in the beauty industry. Laser hair removal technology works based on the principle of selective photothermodynamics, emitting a continuous laser beam of a specific wavelength. This laser beam penetrates the skin's surface and reaches the hair follicles at the root. The light energy is absorbed and converted into heat, destroying the follicles. This causes the hair to fall out and lose its ability to regenerate, while sparing surrounding tissue and achieving permanent hair removal.

[0020] A laser hair removal handpiece is part of a handheld laser hair removal machine, also known as a laser treatment handpiece. During treatment, the handpiece's treatment head typically comes into direct contact with the skin, and the laser's light source is transmitted through the treatment head window. This requires excellent cooling performance, which minimizes pain and prevents laser burns.

[0021] In order to ensure the heat dissipation and cooling effect, laser hair removal handpieces generally use multiple semiconductor refrigerators to cool the treatment head and laser emitting device in the laser hair removal handpiece. The price of semiconductor refrigerators is relatively expensive, resulting in a relatively high cost of laser hair removal handpieces, and the need for parallel water circuits makes the internal structure of the laser hair removal handpiece relatively complicated.

[0022] Based on this, the following embodiment of the present application proposes a laser hair removal handpiece, which is provided with a single semiconductor refrigerator in the laser hair removal handpiece, and the single semiconductor refrigerator is provided between a water tank and a water-cooled plate, wherein the cooling surface of the semiconductor refrigerator is in contact with the bottom of the water tank; the other surface of the semiconductor refrigerator away from the cooling surface is in contact with the top surface of the water-cooled plate; the cold surface of the single semiconductor refrigerator is used to cool the cooling liquid in the water tank to complete the heat dissipation of the treatment head. Only a single semiconductor refrigerator for heat dissipation of the treatment head is provided in the laser hair removal handpiece, which reduces the cost of the laser hair removal handpiece, makes the structure of the laser hair removal handpiece simple and compact, and reduces the weight of the laser hair removal handpiece; and, in order to ensure the heat dissipation effect when using a single semiconductor refrigerator, a plurality of microchannels capable of circulating cooling liquid are provided in the treatment head to increase the contact area between the cooling liquid and the treatment head, thereby increasing the heat dissipation effect of the treatment head.

[0023] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] The treatment head 1 is fixed to one side of the handpiece housing 8, the water tank 3 and the water cooling plate 5 are fixed in the handpiece housing 8, the water tank 3 is connected to the treatment head 1, and there is cooling liquid in the water tank 3, and the cooling liquid can be circulated between the water tank 3 and the treatment head 1.

[0027] Wherein, the cooling liquid is a mixed liquid of water and ethylene glycol, which has an antifreeze function. The water tank 3 is made of a copper alloy with high thermal conductivity.

[0028] The single semiconductor refrigerator 4 is arranged between the water tank 3 and the water-cooled plate 5, wherein the cooling surface of the single semiconductor refrigerator 4 is in contact with the bottom of the water tank; and the other surface of the single semiconductor refrigerator away from the cooling surface is in contact with the top surface of the water-cooled plate.

[0029] The laser emitting device is disposed on the water-cooling plate 5 and is connected to the water-cooling plate 5 by bolts; the light-emitting side of the laser emitting device is spaced apart from the treatment head 1 .

[0030] A plurality of microchannels 12 are provided in the treatment head 1 . The cooling liquid in the water tank 3 first flows into the plurality of microchannels 12 in the treatment head 1 to dissipate heat for the treatment head 1 , and then returns to the water tank 3 from the microchannels 12 of the treatment head 1 .

[0031] Specifically, the laser emitting device includes: a light guide device 9 and a laser 6; the laser 6 is arranged on the water-cooling plate 5 and is threadedly connected to the water-cooling plate 5; the light guide device 9 is arranged between the treatment head 1 and the laser 6, wherein the surface of the light guide device 9 on the light incident side is in contact with the laser 6, and the surface of the light guide device 9 on the light output side is spaced apart from the treatment head, and the distance between the surface of the light guide device on the light output side and the treatment head is between 2 mm and 3 mm.

[0032] The water cooling plate 5 and the laser 6 are connected by bolt threads.

[0033] From the above description, it can be seen that in the laser hair removal handpiece proposed in this embodiment, the water cooling plate 5 is provided to cool the laser 6 on the one hand, and to cool the single semiconductor cooler 4 on the other hand. Therefore, even when only a single semiconductor cooler is provided in the laser hair removal handpiece, the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the treatment head and the laser in the laser hair removal handpiece can be ensured.

[0034] In one embodiment, the light guide device 9 is a wedge-shaped light guide cone or a wedge-shaped optical waveguide. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the treatment head shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of the external structure of the water tank, the treatment head 1 also includes: a treatment head water inlet 13 and a treatment head water outlet 14; the water tank is provided with a water tank inlet 31 and a water tank outlet 32.

[0035] The treatment head water inlet 13 and the treatment head water outlet 14 are arranged side by side on a side of the treatment head 1 close to the light guide device 9 .

[0036] One end of the treatment head water inlet 13 is connected to one end of the multiple microchannels 12, and the other end is connected to the water tank outlet 32 ​​of the water tank 3; one end of the treatment head water outlet 14 is connected to the other end of the multiple microchannels, and the other end is connected to the water tank inlet 31 of the water tank 3.

[0037] In one embodiment, the extension direction of the plurality of microchannels 12 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the treatment head water inlet 13 and the treatment head water outlet 32 ​​.

[0038] In order to connect the treatment head and the water tank, the laser hair removal handpiece proposed in this embodiment further includes: a pipeline 2; the treatment head water inlet 13 and the treatment head water outlet 14 are respectively connected to the water tank 3 through the pipeline 2.

[0041] The plurality of microchannels 12 allow circulating cooling liquid to cool the treatment head 1 and the sapphire glass 11 to dissipate heat and reduce temperature.

[0042] In one embodiment, the sapphire glass 11 is placed in the fixing groove 15 by gluing.

[0043] By arranging the water tank flow channel 33 and the ribs 34 in the water tank 3, the heat exchange area can be increased and the refrigeration efficiency can be improved.

[0044] In order to increase the heat exchange efficiency of the water cooling plate, the laser hair removal handpiece proposed in this embodiment further includes: a cooling water outlet joint 10 and a cooling water inlet joint 7; the cooling water outlet joint 10 and the cooling water inlet joint 7 are arranged side by side at the bottom of the water cooling plate 5.

[0045] By arranging a cooling water outlet joint 10 and a cooling water inlet joint 7 at the bottom of the water-cooling plate 5, the coolant in the water-cooling plate 5 can be replaced by an external water tank when the laser hair removal handpiece is not working, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency of the water-cooling plate 5.

[0046] The laser hair removal handpiece proposed in this embodiment is a laser hair removal handpiece based on microchannel refrigeration technology. Its working principle is: multiple microchannels 12 arranged in parallel inside the treatment head 1, the cooling fluid circulating through the multiple microchannels 12 of the treatment head 1 directly cools the skin, can quickly take away the heat on the skin, and thus achieve good treatment effects.

[0047] Furthermore, the cooling fluid, chilled by the single semiconductor refrigerator 4, cools the treatment head 1, simplifying the structure of the laser hair removal handpiece and reducing its weight. The multiple parallel microchannels 12 increase the contact area between the cooling fluid and the treatment head 1, thereby improving the heat transfer coefficient of the treatment head 1. The cooling fluid flows through the multiple parallel microchannels 12, effectively exchanging heat and removing heat, thereby enhancing the cooling effect of the cooling fluid on the treatment head.
