In the following description, the left side in Figures 1 to 3 and 6 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the right side as the "base side", the lower side in Figures 4 and 5 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the upper side as the "base side", the upper side in Figures 2 and 6 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the lower side as the "lower side", the front side of the paper in Figure 4 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the back side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side", and the back side of the paper in Figure 5 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the front side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side".

[0013] 1 includes a lower body 2 (first housing) having a vibration mechanism 8, an upper body 3 (second housing) having a light emitting mechanism 7, a hinge part 4 that rotatably connects the lower body 2 and the upper body 3, and a heating mechanism 9. Each component will be described below in order. In this hair beauty device 1, a lower body 2 (first housing) and an upper body 3 (second housing) are provided so as to be able to approach and separate from each other, and are configured to hold hair between them. With hair held between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3, the hair can be heated via a heating mechanism 9 while being vibrated via a vibration mechanism 8, and light can be irradiated onto the hair via a light emitting mechanism 7. This allows liquid agents such as treatment agents and coloring agents to penetrate the hair smoothly and sufficiently, and also allows hair straightening and the like. In addition, when the liquid agent contains a coloring agent that reacts with light, for example, the coloring ability of the hair can be enhanced.

[0014] The lower main body 2 has a vibration mechanism 8 and a part of the heating mechanism 9, and a lower housing 22 that houses and supports the vibration mechanism 8 and the part of the heating mechanism 9. The lower housing 22 also has a lower case 221 and a lower cover 222 that closes an upper opening of the lower case 221. The constituent material of the lower housing 22 (lower case 221 and lower cover 222) is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include hard resin materials such as polycarbonate, polypropylene, polystyrene, and ABS resin.

[0015] 3 and 4, an opening 222a is formed on the tip side of the lower cover 222. One vibration plate 82 and two heating plates 92 are fitted into this opening 222a. That is, the hair beauty device 1 includes one vibration plate 82 and two heating plates 92. The vibration plate 82 is configured to come into contact with the hair and apply vibrations from the vibration mechanism 8, and each heating plate 92 is configured to come into contact with the hair and apply heat from the heating mechanism 9. That is, in this embodiment, the vibration plate 82 and the vibration mechanism 8 constitute a vibration section 80 that comes into contact with the hair and applies vibrations, and each heating plate 92 and the heating mechanism 9 constitute a heating section 90 that comes into contact with the hair and applies heat. The heating section 90 can set the temperature of each heating plate (portion in contact with the hair) 92 to a temperature of 100° C. or higher.

[0016] In this embodiment, one vibration plate 82 and two heating plates 92 are arranged side by side in the lower housing (one of the first housing and the second housing) 22. Specifically, the lower housing (one housing) 22 is elongated, and the direction in which one vibration plate 82 and two heating plates 92 are arranged is the short side direction of the lower housing (one housing) 22. That is, the hair beauty device 1 has a plurality of heating plates 92 (two in this embodiment), and one vibration plate 82 is provided between two adjacent heating plates 92. This allows heat and vibration to be applied sequentially to hair passing between the lower main body 2 and the upper main body 3 that are brought close to each other. Therefore, when a liquid agent is used, the efficiency of its penetration into the hair can be increased.

[0017] Furthermore, packings (sealing members) (not shown) are disposed between the one vibration plate 82 and the two heating plates 92 and the lower cover 222, thereby ensuring that the lower housing 22 is liquid-tight. A vibrator 81 in contact with a vibration plate 82, a vibration control board 83 on the base end side of the vibrator 81, a heat sink 24 for cooling the vibrator 81, and other packing (sealing members) (not shown) are provided within the lower housing 22. In this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 8 is composed of the vibrator 81 and the vibration control board 83. Therefore, in this embodiment, vibration is applied to the hair from the vibrator 81 (vibration mechanism 8) via the vibration plate 82. With this configuration, it is easy to apply vibration to the hair evenly. Therefore, when a liquid agent is used, it is possible to increase the penetration efficiency into the hair and to preferably prevent uneven penetration. The vibration control board 83 sets the vibration conditions (for example, the vibration frequency) of the vibrator 81 (vibration plate 82).

[0018] A film heater (heat source) 91 incorporating an electric heating wire is disposed below each heating plate 92. That is, the lower housing 22 supports the film heater 91. Specifically, the film heater 91 is obtained by forming a polyamide film with an electric heating wire embedded therein. By using the film heater 91, it is possible to speed up the rise to the desired heating temperature. As a result, it is possible to shorten the time required for the heating treatment, penetration treatment, etc. of the hair. The resistance value of the film heater 91 is preferably about 2 Ω or more and 20 Ω or less, more preferably about 4 Ω or more and 17 Ω or less, and even more preferably about 6 Ω or more and 14 Ω or less. Film heater 91 having such a resistance value can further improve the above-mentioned effects. Also, instead of film heater 91, a ceramic heater, a heating light source (e.g., a heating halogen lamp), etc. can be used as the heat source.

[0019] The constituent material of the diaphragm 82 is not particularly limited, but may include metal materials and ceramic materials. Among them, the constituent material of the diaphragm 82 is preferably a metal material, more preferably stainless steel, aluminum or an aluminum alloy, and even more preferably stainless steel. The stainless steel diaphragm 82 is preferable because it has excellent corrosion resistance, and its upper surface is smooth and slides well on the hair. Therefore, damage to the hair can be reduced. The heating plate 92 may be made of the same material as the diaphragm 82, but is preferably made of stainless steel. The stainless steel heating plate 92 is preferable because it has high thermal conductivity. In this case, for the same reason as described above, it is preferable to form an oxide film (particularly an oxide film that is black or dark in color) on the upper surface of the heating plate 92.

[0020] The surface roughness (arithmetic mean height Ra) of the upper surface (surface in contact with the hair) of each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 is preferably about 0.2 μm to 6.3 μm, and more preferably about 1.6 μm to 3.2 μm. If the surface roughness of each of the upper surfaces of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 is sufficiently small, the sliding of the hair over each of the upper surfaces of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 can be further improved. The arithmetic mean height Ra is a value specified in JIS B0601:2001. In addition, it is preferable that each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 has an oxide coating on its upper surface (the surface that comes into contact with the hair). By forming an oxide coating on each of the upper surfaces of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92, it is easy to adjust the surface roughness of each of the upper surfaces of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 to within the above-mentioned range.

[0021] In addition, the oxide film is preferably black or dark in color. This can enhance the heating effect on the hair by absorbing heat from the heating mechanism 9. In addition, the aesthetics of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 can be improved. Such an oxide film can be formed relatively easily, for example, by anodizing using a treatment solution containing a black or dark pigment. It is preferable to form a coating containing black silica on the upper surface of each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92. By forming such a coating, damage to hair can be reduced.

[0022] It is also preferable that each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 has a coating on its upper surface (the surface that comes into contact with the hair) instead of the oxide coating, which enhances the sliding property of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 against the hair. By forming such a coating, the sliding property of the hair against the upper surface of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 can be further enhanced. In this case, the coating is preferably harder than the diaphragm 82 and the heating plate 92. This can further enhance the sliding of the hair on the upper surfaces of the diaphragm 82 and the heating plate 92. In the case of the diaphragm 82 and the heating plate 92 made of stainless steel, it is preferable to form a titanium coating. The titanium coating can be formed on the upper surfaces of the diaphragm 82 and the heating plate 92 by a vapor deposition method such as deposition or sputtering.

[0023] As described above, from the viewpoint of improving the smoothness of hair, it is preferable that the surface roughness (arithmetic mean height Ra) of the upper surface of each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 is as small as possible, but processing by polishing tends to be costly. Therefore, it is preferable that each of the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 is made of stainless steel or ceramics, or is coated with a fluorine-based resin (e.g., tetrafluoroethylene) or a black stainless steel coating. This makes it possible to manufacture the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 with smooth upper surfaces at a relatively low cost. In the illustrated configuration, the upper surface of one vibration plate 82 and the upper surfaces of the two heating plates 92 form a flat surface, but for example, the upper surface of one vibration plate 82 may be located lower than the upper surfaces of the two heating plates 92, forming a step between them. In addition, the upper surface of one vibration plate 82 and the upper surfaces of the two heating plates 92 may form a curved concave surface that is curved so that the center part in the short side direction is the lowest side as a whole. Furthermore, the upper surface of one vibration plate 82 and the upper surfaces of the two heating plates 92 may be wavy along the short side direction as a whole.

[0024] The hair beauty device 1 also includes a pair of brush parts 5 protruding from both sides of the tip end side (parts corresponding to the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92) of the lower case 221. Each brush part 5 includes a plurality of pin-shaped comb teeth 51, and hair can pass between the comb teeth 51. By bringing the lower body 2 (first housing) and the upper body 3 (second housing) close to each other and sliding the hair between them, the hair can be guided in a bundled state and passed between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3. That is, the brush part 5 constitutes a guide part that guides the hair into the gap between the lower body 2 (first housing) and the upper body 3 (second housing) when they are close to each other.

[0025] 3 and 4, a recess 223 and a tube portion 224 are provided on the base end side of the lower case 221 so as to surround the opening of the recess 223. A cylindrical seal member 25 and a coil spring 26 are arranged inside the recess 223. The seal member 25 is connected to the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 while ensuring liquid-tightness. Wiring and the like that electrically connects the electric components in the lower body 2 and the electric components in the upper body 3 is inserted into the seal member 25. The seal member 25 can be made of a rubber material such as silicone rubber. The coil spring 26 is provided in contact with both the lower body 2 and the upper body 3. When the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 are brought closer to each other, the coil spring 26 is compressed and biases the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 in a direction separating them.

[0026] At the base end of the lower body 2, the upper body 3 is connected to the lower body 2 so as to be rotatable therewith. The upper body 3 has a part of the light emitting mechanism 7 and the heating mechanism 9, and an upper housing (second housing) 32 that houses and supports the light emitting mechanism 7 and the part of the heating mechanism 9. The upper housing 32 also has an upper case 321 and an upper cover 322 that closes a lower opening of the upper case 321. The material of upper housing 32 (upper case 321 and upper cover 322) is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include hard resin materials such as polycarbonate, polypropylene, polystyrene, and ABS resin.

[0027] 5, an opening 322a is formed on the tip side of the upper cover 322. A light-emitting part (functional part) 71 that emits light is provided in this opening 322a, and two heating plates 92 are fitted on both sides of the light-emitting part 71. A film heater (heat source) 91 similar to that described above is disposed above each heating plate 92. That is, the upper housing 32 supports the film heater 91. In this embodiment, the heating mechanism 9 is composed of four film heaters 91 provided in the lower body 2 and the upper body 3, and a part of the main control board 30. As shown in FIG. 6, a packing (sealing member) 323 is disposed between each heating plate 92 and the upper cover 322 to ensure liquid-tightness of the upper housing 32.

[0028] The light emitting unit 71 can be composed of a transparent (colorless transparent, colored transparent, or translucent) support plate and a plurality of light sources (e.g., LEDs) fixed (supported) on the upper surface of the support plate. The light sources may be of one color alone or in combination of multiple colors. That is, the upper body 3 (the other housing) is positioned to face the vibration plate 82 when the lower body 2 (the first housing) and the upper body 3 (the second housing) are brought close to each other, and has a light emitting unit 71 as a functional unit having a different function from the vibration plate 82. With this configuration, more types of treatments can be performed on the hair. The upper body 3 (the other housing) also has a heating plate (second heating plate) 92 that is provided next to the light emitting unit (functional unit) 71 and comes into contact with the hair to apply heat from a film heater 91 (heating mechanism).

[0029] Specifically, the upper housing (the other housing) 32 is elongated, and the two heating plates 92 and one light-emitting unit 71 are arranged in the short direction of the upper housing (the other housing). That is, the hair beauty device 1 has a plurality of heating plates 92 (two in this embodiment), and one light-emitting unit 71 is provided between two adjacent heating plates 92. This allows light irradiation and heat to be applied to hair passing between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 that are brought close to each other. Therefore, when a liquid agent is used, the penetration efficiency into the hair can be improved. In addition, when the liquid agent contains a coloring agent that reacts with light, for example, the coloring property of the hair can be improved.

[0030] In the hair beauty device 1, the overall planar shape of the one vibration plate 82 and the two heating plates 92 in the lower body 2 and the overall planar shape of the one light-emitting unit (functional unit) 71 and the two heating plates (second heating plates) 92 in the upper body 3 are set to be approximately equal rectangular shapes. In particular, in the hair beauty device 1, the overall planar area of ​​the one vibration plate 82 and the two heating plates 92 in the lower body 2 and the overall planar area of ​​the one light-emitting unit (functional unit) 71 and the two heating plates (second heating plates) 92 are set to be approximately equal. With this configuration, various treatments can be performed on the hair without waste. The above-mentioned planar area is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1000 mm 2 More than 2500mm 2 It is preferable that the thickness is about 1200 mm or more. 2 More than 2300mm 2 With such a planar area, a sufficient contact area between the vibration plate 82, the heating plate 92, and the light emitting portion 71 and the hair can be ensured during treatment of various types of hair.

[0031] In the illustrated configuration, the lower surface of one light-emitting section 71 and the lower surfaces of the two heating plates 92 form a flat surface, but for example, the lower surface of one light-emitting section 71 may be located lower than the lower surfaces of the two heating plates 92, forming a step between them. In addition, the lower surface of one light-emitting section 71 and the lower surfaces of the two heating plates 92 may form a curved convex surface that is curved so that the center part in the short side direction is the lowest side as a whole. Furthermore, the lower surface of one light-emitting section 71 and the lower surfaces of the two heating plates 92 may be wavy along the short side direction as a whole. In other words, the surface formed by the upper surface of one vibration plate 82 and the upper surfaces of two heating plates 92 and the surface formed by the lower surface of one light-emitting section 71 and the lower surfaces of two heating plates 92 can be formed to have a corresponding shape.

[0032] In the upper housing 32, the light emission control board 72 and the power supply 34 are provided above the film heater 91. By using the film heater 91 as a heat source, it is possible to secure sufficient space in the upper housing 32, and it is possible to place the light emission control board 72 and the power supply 34 in this space. As a result, it is possible to miniaturize the hair cosmetic device 1. The light emission control board 72 sets the light emission conditions of the light sources (for example, selection of the light source to be emitted, the light emission pattern). The power source can be, for example, a dry cell, a solar cell, a primary battery such as a fuel cell, a secondary battery such as a lithium ion battery, etc. In addition, by arranging a power source having a relatively large mass at the tip side inside the upper housing 32, it becomes easier to perform the operation of bringing the upper body 3 close to the lower body 2.

[0033] On the base end side within upper housing 32, main control board 30, connector section 39, and other packings (sealing members) not shown are provided. The connector section 39 is open to the outside at the base end of the upper body 3. When the power source is a secondary battery, a connector section of a charging device is connected to the connector section 39 for charging. 5, a recess 323 and a cylindrical portion 324 are provided on the base end side of upper case 321 so as to surround the opening of recess 323. A fitting portion 35 into which seal member 25 fits and a spring seat 36 for coil spring 26 are provided inside recess 323. When the hair beauty device 1 is in an assembled state, the cylindrical portion 324 is inserted into the recess 223 and the cylindrical portion 224 .

[0034] 1 and 6, two operation buttons 37, 38 are provided on the top surface of the upper case 321. For example, the operation button 37 is a button for turning the power on / off, and the operation button 38 is a button for selecting and determining the operation mode of the hair cosmetic device 1. Note that the operation buttons 37, 38 may each have other functions. In addition, an operation button for setting the vibration frequency, an operation button for setting the heating temperature, etc. may be provided.

[0035] The lower housing (first housing) 22 of the lower main body 2 and the upper housing (second housing) 32 of the upper main body 3 are rotatably connected via the hinge portion 4. That is, the base end portion (the end portion opposite to the vibrating plate 82 and the heating plate 92, which is the end portion opposite to the end portion that clamps the hair) of the lower housing (first housing) 22 and the base end portion (the end portion opposite to the end portion that clamps the hair, which is the end portion opposite to the light emitting portion 71) of the upper housing (second housing) 32 are rotatably connected. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 3 to 5, a pair of annular connecting parts 41 facing each other in the short side direction is provided at the base end of the lower cover 222. Meanwhile, a pair of annular connecting parts 42 facing each other in the short side direction is provided at the base end of the upper cover 322. The pair of annular connecting parts 41 and the pair of annular connecting parts 42 are aligned, and a shaft member 43a is inserted into the through holes of the annular connecting parts 41 and 42, and a fixing member 43b is attached to the end of the shaft member 43a. This forms the hinge part 4, and the lower main body 2 and the upper main body 3 can be rotatably connected. As described above, in this embodiment, the lower housing (first housing) 22 and the upper housing (second housing) 32, which can move toward and away from each other, form a support section 100 that supports the heating section 90 and the vibration section 80.

[0036] Next, the electrical configuration of the hair cosmetic device 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, the main control board 30 is electrically connected to a vibration control board 83, a film heater 91, a light emission control board 72, a power source 34, and a connector section 39. Furthermore, the light emitting unit 71 is connected to the light emission control board 72, and the light emitting unit 71 and the light emission control board 72 constitute the light emitting mechanism 7. The vibrator 81 is connected to the vibration control board 83, and the vibrator 81 and the vibration control board 83 constitute the vibration mechanism 8. The main control board 30 incorporates a calculation element 301 and a memory element 302. The vibration control board 83 and the light emission control board 72 may also each incorporate a calculation element and a memory element.

[0037] The arithmetic element 301 is composed of, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), an MPU (Micro Processing Unit), etc. The arithmetic element 301 realizes various functions related to the hair cosmetic device 1 by reading out a predetermined program stored in the memory element 302. That is, information processing by the software stored in the memory element 302 is specifically realized by the arithmetic element 301. The number of arithmetic elements 301 is not limited to one, and multiple arithmetic elements 301 may be provided for each function. Also, a combination of these may be used. In particular, it is preferable to provide a arithmetic element 301 for heating control of the film heater 91 separately from the arithmetic element 301 for vibration control of the vibrator 81.

[0038] The memory element 302 stores various pieces of information defined above. This can be implemented, for example, as a storage device such as a solid state drive (SSD) that stores various programs related to the hair cosmetic device 1 executed by the arithmetic element 301, or as a memory such as a random access memory (RAM) that stores temporarily required information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to the arithmetic operation of the programs. Moreover, the storage element 302 stores various programs and variables related to the hair beauty device 1 executed by the arithmetic element 301.

[0039] For example, when a liquid agent is used, the hair holding the liquid agent is positioned between the vibration plate 82 and the heating plate 92 (film heater 91) and the light emitting unit 71 and the heating plate 92 (film heater 91), and while vibration is applied to the hair from the vibrator 81 via the vibration plate 82, the hair is heated by the film heater 91 via the heating plate 92, and light is irradiated to the hair from the light emitting unit 71. In this way, the liquid agent can be smoothly and sufficiently permeated into the hair. In addition, when the liquid agent contains a coloring agent that reacts with light, for example, the coloring property of the hair can be enhanced. When the hair is heated while being vibrated, the vibration frequency is set to about 0.8 MHz to 1.5 MHz, preferably about 0.9 MHz to 1.4 MHz, more preferably about 1 MHz to 1.3 MHz. By setting the vibration frequency within the above range, the efficiency of penetration of the liquid agent into the hair can be further increased.

[0040] The vibration output value from the vibration mechanism 8 is expressed as the unit area [cm 2 [Per], it is preferable that the power is 0.05 W or more and 0.2 W or less, more preferable that the power is about 0.07 W or more and 0.17 W or less, and even more preferable that the power is about 0.09 W or more and 0.14 W or less. In this case, it is possible to improve the uniformity of the vibration of the entire vibrating plate 82. Therefore, it is difficult for the liquid agent to penetrate the hair unevenly. The heating temperature is set to about 55° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, preferably about 60° C. or higher and 95° C. or lower, and more preferably about 65° C. or higher and 90° C. or lower. By setting the heating temperature within the above range, the efficiency of penetration of the liquid into the hair can be further increased. The above conditions are suitable for executing a penetration mode in which the liquid agent is penetrated into the hair. In an iron mode in which the hair is pressed at a high temperature after the penetration mode or separately from the penetration mode, in addition to the vibration of the vibration plate 82 under the above conditions, the heating temperature of the heating plate 92 can be set preferably to 80°C or higher and 200°C or lower.

[0041] In iron mode, it can be used for purposes such as A: hair straightening, B: treatment, and C: regular hair iron. A: Hair straightening In this case, the first agent is applied to the hair to break the chemical bonds of the components in the wavy hair. Next, the first agent is washed off from the hair, and the hair is dried. After that, the hair is clamped between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 of the hair beauty device 1 set to the iron mode, and pressed at high temperature. Finally, the second agent is applied to the hair and left to stand, so that the chemical bonds of the components in the hair are recombined in a straightened state. Note that the final leaving may be performed by clamping the hair between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 of the hair beauty device 1 set to the penetration mode. Examples of drugs used include Quolin (Arimino), Neolisio (Milbon), etc.

[0042] B: Treatment In this case, the first agent is applied to the hair. After that, the hair is sandwiched between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 of the hair beauty device 1 set to the penetration mode, thereby allowing the first agent to penetrate into the hair. Next, the first agent is washed off from the hair. Next, the second agent is applied to the hair. After that, the hair is sandwiched between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 of the hair beauty device 1 set to the penetration mode, thereby allowing the second agent to penetrate into the hair. Next, the hair is dried. Finally, the hair is sandwiched between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 of the hair beauty device 1 set to the iron mode, and pressed at high temperature. This makes it possible to strengthen the bond of the agent that has penetrated into the hair. Examples of drugs used include Balancer (manufactured by Ariminoslim Co., Ltd.), Science Aqua (manufactured by S-AQUA Co., Ltd.), etc. There is no distinction between one drug and two drugs, and there are cases where a single drug is used.

[0043] <Second embodiment> Next, a hair cosmetic device according to a second embodiment will be described. The hair beauty device 1 of the second embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the hair beauty device 1 of the first embodiment, and a description of the similarities will be omitted. Fig. 8 is a perspective view showing a hair beauty device of a second embodiment, Fig. 9 is a plan view of a lower main body shown in Fig. 8, and Fig. 10 is a bottom view of an upper main body shown in Fig. 8. In the following description, the left side in Fig. 8 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the right side as the "base side", and the lower side in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the upper side as the "base side". Furthermore, the front side of the paper in Fig. 9 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the back side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side", and the back side of the paper in Fig. 10 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the front side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side".

[0044] The hair cosmetic device 1 of the second embodiment differs mainly in the configuration of the tip sides of the lower body 2 and the upper body 3, but is otherwise similar to the hair cosmetic device 1 of the first embodiment. 8 to 10, the brush part 5 is omitted from the lower body 2, and the heating plate 92 has a shape that extends to the side part of the lower cover 222 and the upper end part of the lower case 221. Also, the heating plate 92 has a shape that extends to the side part of the upper cover 322 and the lower end part of the upper case 321. With this configuration, when hair is passed through the gap between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3 that are in close proximity to each other, the contact time between the heating plate 92 and the hair can be extended. This can further increase the efficiency with which the liquid agent penetrates the hair. In the second embodiment, the connector portion 39 is provided at the base end portion of the lower main body 2 instead of at the base end portion of the upper main body 3. Furthermore, the hinge portion 4 is composed of a bearing-shaped connecting portion 41 and a shaft-shaped connecting portion 42 that is inserted into a through hole of the connecting portion 41.

[0045] The functional section may also have the configuration shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 are schematic diagrams showing other configurations of the functional section. The functional part shown in Fig. 11 is composed of a drug carrying part 6 that carries a drug. This drug carrying part 6 has a support and a drug carried on the support. Examples of the support include a paper substrate, a resin substrate, a gel substrate, a porous ceramic substrate, a metal substrate, and a glass substrate. Examples of drugs include hyaluronic acid, malic acid, amino acids, vitamins, lactones, and the like.

[0046] The functional portion shown in FIG. 12( a ) is composed of a heating plate 92 . In this case, the heating temperatures of the three heating plates 92 can be set to be the same or different. The functional section shown in FIG. 12( b ) is composed of a single heating plate 92 . In this hair beauty device 1, the planar shape of the one vibration plate 82 and the two heating plates 92 in the lower main body 2 as a whole is set to be approximately equal to the planar shape of the single heating plate (functional part) 92. In particular, in the hair beauty device 1, the planar area of ​​the one vibration plate 82 and the two heating plates 92 in the lower main body 2 as a whole is set to be approximately equal to the planar area of ​​the single heating plate (functional part) 92. With this configuration, various treatments can be performed on the hair without waste.

[0047] Furthermore, the functional unit may be a magnetic field generating unit that generates a magnetic field, an electric field generating unit that generates an electric field, an ion generating unit that generates ions, an ozone generating unit that generates ozone, etc.

[0048] <Third embodiment> Next, a hair cosmetic device according to a third embodiment will be described. The hair beauty device 1 of the third embodiment will be described below, focusing on the differences from the hair beauty devices 1 of the first and second embodiments, and a description of the similarities will be omitted. Fig. 13 is a perspective view showing a hair beauty device of a third embodiment. Fig. 14 is a plan view of the lower main body shown in Fig. 13. Fig. 15 is a bottom view of the upper main body shown in Fig. 13. Fig. 16 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a part of the lower main body shown in Fig. 13. Fig. 17 is a perspective view of a unit part having a light-emitting part and a second heating plate. Fig. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 17. Fig. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the unit part shown in Fig. 17.

[0049] In the following description, the left side in Figures 13, 16, and 17 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the right side as the "base side," the lower side in Figures 14 and 15 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the upper side as the "base side," the front side of the paper in Figures 18 and 19 will also be referred to as the "distal side" and the rear side of the paper will also be referred to as the "base side," the front side of the paper in Figure 14 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the rear side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side," and the rear side of the paper in Figure 15 will also be referred to as the "upper side" and the front side of the paper will also be referred to as the "lower side." 17 to 19 are upside down compared to the other figures. The hair cosmetic device 1 of the third embodiment is different mainly in the configuration of the tip side of the lower main body 2 and the configuration of the tip side of the upper main body 3, but is otherwise similar to the hair cosmetic device 1 of the first embodiment.

[0050] As shown in Figs. 13 to 15, the lower main body 2 has a unit section 10 in which the brush section 5 is omitted and the light emitting section 71, the film heater 91 and the heating plate (second heating plate) 92 are unitized. As shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, this unit portion 10 has a first case 102, a second case 103, and a seal member 104 that provides a liquid-tight seal between them. The first case 102 and the second case 103 can be made of the same resin material as that exemplified for the lower housing 22 and the upper housing 32, respectively. The seal member 104 can be made of the same rubber material as that exemplified for the seal member 25.

[0051] As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, the first case 102 has an opening 102a and an opening 102b formed therein. The opening 102a is closed by the heating plate 92, and the opening 102b is closed by a light-transmitting plate 712. The light-transmitting plate 712 can be made of, for example, a resin material having optical transparency. The heating plate 92 and the light-transmitting plate 712 are each integrally molded (for example, by insert molding) with the first case 102. This ensures liquid-tightness at the openings 102a and 102b of the first case 102. 18 and 19, a film heater 91 is disposed in contact with a heating plate 92, and a pressing member 93 (not shown in FIG. 18) is disposed between the film heater 91 and a second case 103. A terminal 911 is provided at the base end of the film heater 91. Meanwhile, a light emitting substrate 711 having a plurality of light sources (e.g., LEDs) 7111 mounted thereon is disposed away from a light-transmitting plate 712.

[0052] As shown in Fig. 17 and Fig. 18, a circular connecting part 1031 that protrudes outward is formed at the base end of the second case 103. Meanwhile, a recessed recess 222b is formed in the lower cover 222 of the lower housing 22, as shown in Fig. 16. The unit part 10 is attached to the lower housing 22 by being housed in the recess 222b with the heating plate 92 and the light-transmitting plate 712 facing outward (upper body 3 side). Further, the recess 222b is formed with a circular connecting portion 225 that protrudes inward. When the unit portion 10 is accommodated in the recess 222b, the connecting portion 1031 is inserted into the connecting portion 225. In this state, as shown in Fig. 16, the seal member 27 is attached (fitted) to the inside of the connecting portion 1031 and the connecting portion 225, thereby ensuring liquid-tightness at the connecting portion between the lower housing 22 and the unit portion 10. The seal member 27 can be made of the same rubber material as that mentioned for the seal member 25.

[0053] 19, the inner surface of the second case 103 is formed with fitting pins 1032 protruding inward at predetermined locations (two locations at the tip and base end in this embodiment). Meanwhile, the light emitting substrate 711 is formed with through holes 711a at two locations at the tip and base end corresponding to the fitting pins 1032. Then, the light emitting substrate 711 can be fixed (attached) to the second case 103 by inserting and fitting the fitting pins 1032 into the through holes 711a. Furthermore, a plurality of (three in this embodiment) elastic members 11 to 13 are disposed on the outer surface of the second case 103. One elastic member 11 is disposed in the center of the tip end of the second case 103, and two elastic members 11 are disposed at the base end of the second case 103 with a predetermined distance between them.

[0054] In a side view of the unit part 10, the tip of each of the elastic members 11 to 13 protrudes toward the lower housing 22 side from the unit part 10. Therefore, when the unit part 10 is attached to the lower housing 22, the tip of each of the elastic members 11 to 13 contacts the lower housing 22, thereby forming a space S between the unit part 10 and the lower housing 22 (lower cover 222). Since the elastic members 11-13 are elastically deformed, when an external force is applied to the unit part 10, the elastic members 11-13 are compressed, and the unit part 10 approaches the lower housing 22. On the other hand, when the application of the external force to the unit part 10 is released, the elastic members 11-13 return to approximately their original shapes, and the unit part 10 moves away from the lower housing 22.

[0055] With this configuration, it is possible to prevent unnecessary force from being applied to the hair due to clamping between the lower body 2 and the upper body 3. Therefore, damage to the hair is less likely to occur. The height-wise size of the space S in its natural state (when no external force is applied) (the distance between the unit portion 10 and the lower housing 22) is not particularly limited, but is preferably approximately 1 mm or more and 10 mm or less, more preferably approximately 2 mm or more and 8 mm or less, and even more preferably approximately 3 mm or more and 6 mm or less. Each of the elastic members 11 to 13 can be made of, for example, a silicone rubber block body, a coil spring, or the like, but can also be made of other elastically deformable members (components).

[0056] On the other hand, a heating plate 92 and a vibration plate 82 are fitted into the upper cover 322 of the upper body 3 so as to close the opening 322a. When the lower body 2 (first housing) and the upper body 3 (second housing) are brought close to each other, the heating plate 92 of the upper body 3 faces the heating plate 92 of the lower body 2, and the vibration plate 82 of the upper body 3 faces the light-transmitting plate 712 of the lower body 2.

[0057] The hair beauty device 1 can be configured to operate in a penetration mode in which vibration is applied to hair that is holding a liquid agent or is wet, and an iron mode in which the hair is heated to a temperature of 100° C. or higher to adjust the shape of the hair. In the penetration mode, it is preferable that the device is further configured to apply heat to the hair. The hair beauty device 1 may be configured to operate in other modes in addition to the above modes. Specifically, the hair beauty device 1 can be configured to operate in three modes: A: a penetration mode using vibration and low temperature (50°C or higher but less than 90°C, preferably around 70°C); B: a pre-care mode before bed using vibration and medium temperature (80°C or higher but less than 100°C); and C: an iron mode (styling mode) using high temperature (100°C or higher).

[0058] In addition, if the penetration mode is inadvertently switched to the iron mode while in use, there is a risk of damaging the hair. For this reason, it is preferable to configure the device so that the operation can be distinguished, for example by increasing the distance between the operation button for selecting the penetration mode and the operation button for selecting the iron mode, or by designing the device so that the operation button must be pressed and held down when switching between the penetration mode and the iron mode. It is also preferable to provide a function for changing the light emission color of the light source or emitting a notification sound in response to the switching operation, so that the user can easily recognize the change.

[0059] In the hair cosmetic device 1 of the third embodiment, the film heater 91, the heating plate 92, the vibrator 81, and the vibration plate 82 may be unitized to configure a unit section in the upper main body 3. In this case, the unit section can also be configured to be displaced (approaching and moving away) relative to the upper housing 32. Also, the hair cosmetic device 1 of the third embodiment may employ the configurations shown in Figs. By configuring the unit part with the action part sealed liquid-tight in this way, it is possible to design the action part to be displaceable relative to the support part. This action part may be configured to be capable of ion inflow / outflow, electrical conduction, etc.

Of course, this is not the case. Any of the configurations described in the first to eighth embodiments above can be combined as appropriate.

[0091] As described above, various embodiments of the present invention have been described, but these are presented as examples and do not limit the scope of the invention in any way. The novel embodiments can be embodied in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. The embodiments and modifications thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the scope of the invention and its equivalents described in the claims.

[0092] For example, the juxtaposition direction of the vibration plate and the heating plate may be the longitudinal direction of one of the housings instead of the lateral direction of one of the housings, or may be a combination of the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction. Also, the vibration plate and the heating plate may be arranged at an angle to the longitudinal direction of one of the housings. Furthermore, the combination is not limited to one vibration plate and two heating plates, but may be one vibration plate and one or three or more heating plates, or one heating plate and two or more vibration plates.

[0093] Also, for example, the direction in which the functional part and the second heating plate are arranged may be the longitudinal direction of the other housing instead of the lateral direction of the other housing, or may be a combination of the lateral direction and the longitudinal direction. Also, the functional part and the second heating plate may be arranged at an incline with respect to the longitudinal direction of the other housing. Furthermore, the combination is not limited to one functional part and two second heating plates, but may be one functional part and one or three or more second heating plates, or may be one second heating plate and two or more functional parts.

[0094] Also, for example, the corners of the heating plate 92 on the side that comes into contact with the hair may be rounded (curved) rather than angular. In this case, the hair can be slid on the surface of the heating plate 92 without being pressed too hard by the corners of the heating plate 92 while the liquid agent is being permeated into the hair. Furthermore, the plate facing the vibration plate 82 may be configured to be movable (displaceable) so as to move toward and away from the vibration plate 82. In this case, by providing a movable range of about several millimeters, it is possible to impart a vibration effect without excessively pressing against the hair. [Explanation of symbols]
