Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tip for a skin management device handpiece, and more particularly to a tip for a skin management device handpiece that increases skin management efficiency and prevents leakage of skin management solution, and a skin management device including the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, waste products such as keratin on the surface of the skin clog pores, adversely affecting the health and beauty of the skin, and therefore it is necessary to periodically remove the waste products from the skin.

[0003] As a result, the skin management device can efficiently cleanse the skin and remove waste products by spraying skin management solution onto the skin through an injection port formed on the tip while the tip attached to the end of the body of the handpiece is in contact with the surface of the skin, and by sucking in the skin management solution and waste products as the tip is moved.

[0004] However, the cross section of commonly used tips is flat, so when it comes into contact with the face, which has a curved surface, the tip does not make close contact with the skin, resulting in the problem of leakage of the skin care solution.

[0005] In addition, commonly used tips have a short connection path between the nozzle that sprays the skin care solution and the inlet that sucks in the skin care solution, which reduces the time the skin care solution is in contact with the skin, resulting in poor efficiency in skin cleansing and waste removal.

[0021] The terms and words used in the following specification and claims should not be interpreted as being limited to their ordinary or dictionary meanings, but should be interpreted according to the meaning and concept that corresponds to the technical idea of ​​the present invention in accordance with the principle that the inventor can appropriately define the concept of the term in order to describe his / her invention in the best possible way. Therefore, the embodiment described in this specification and the configuration shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent the entire technical idea of ​​the present invention, so it should be understood that there are various equivalents and modifications that can replace them at the time of this application.

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a skin management device according to the present invention.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, the present invention provides a skin management device 1000 including: a main body 300 including a supply unit 310 for storing and supplying a skin management solution therein, a collection unit 330 for collecting and storing the skin management solution and skin waste products, and a control unit 350 for controlling the supply and collection of the skin management solution; a handpiece 200 connected to the main body 300 and having a supply tube 210 connected to the supply unit 310 and a collection tube 230 connected to the collection unit 330 formed therein; and a tip 100 connected to an end of the handpiece 200.

[0025] The main body 300 may be provided with an external holder for holding the handpiece 200, and may include a supply section 310, a recovery section 330, and a control section 350 therein.

[0026] The supply unit 310 may include a supply container for storing the skin management solution and a supply pump for generating pressure for spraying the skin management solution.

[0027] The collection unit 330 may include a collection container for collecting and storing the sprayed skin management solution and skin waste products, a collection pump for generating pressure to collect the skin management solution, and a sensor for detecting the water level of the skin management solution collected in the collection container.

[0028] The control unit 350 can generally control the supply and collection of the skin management solution, such as the supply pressure, supply time, etc. In addition, when the control unit 350 detects that the skin management solution has been collected to a predetermined level or more through a sensor, it can stop the supply and collection of the skin management solution to prevent backflow of the collected skin management solution.

[0029] The main body 300 may further include an analog dial or a touch screen through which a user inputs control commands. Here, the touch screen may display the level of the skin management solution collected in the collection container and may display an alarm message when it is detected that the skin management solution collected exceeds a predetermined level.

[0030] The handpiece 200 is a handle formed so that a user can hold it and use it, and may have a supply tube 210 and a recovery tube 230 formed inside. The supply tube 210 connects a supply container and the tip 100, and the recovery tube 230 connects a recovery container and the tip 100, and can inject and recover skin management solution through the tip 100.

[0031] The tip 100 is detachable from the end of the handpiece 200 and can contact the skin for skin cleansing and waste removal.

[0032] The configuration of the skin management device handpiece tip 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in more detail.

[0033] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a skin management device handpiece tip 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional views of a skin management device handpiece tip 100 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] 2 to 4, the present invention provides a tip 100 for a skin management device handpiece, which includes a tip housing 110 to be connected to a skin management device handpiece, a separation wall 130 formed perpendicular to the inner surface of the tip housing 110 and in which nozzles 131, 133 and an inlet 135 are formed, and a plurality of flow path partitions 150 formed perpendicular to the outer surface of the separation wall 130 and which guide the skin management solution to flow in a zigzag pattern from the nozzles 131, 133 to the inlet 135.

[0035] The tip housing 110 has a cylindrical shape with open top and bottom, and has a coupling groove or coupling protrusion on one side to couple to a skin management device handpiece, and a contact end on the other side is formed in an inclined shape toward the inside of the tip housing 110 to smoothly contact the skin. Here, the tip housing 110 may have an elliptical cross section, but is not limited thereto. When the cross section of the tip housing 110 is elliptical, the other side of the tip housing 110 that contacts the skin can easily move to narrow and curved areas such as between the eyebrows, around the nose, and around the mouth.

[0036] The separation wall 130 is formed perpendicular to the other inner peripheral surface of the tip housing 110 to separate the inside and the outside of the tip housing 110. The separation wall 130 may also be formed with injection ports 131, 133 for injecting the skin care solution and an inlet port 135 for inhaling the injected skin care solution and skin waste products.

[0037] Here, the injection ports 131, 133 may include a first injection port 131 located at an end of the separation wall 130 and a second injection port 133 located symmetrically to the first injection port 131. For example, if the separation wall 130 has an elliptical shape, the first and second injection ports 131, 133 may be located symmetrically on the long radius or the short radius of the ellipse, but are not limited thereto.

[0038] The inlet 135 may be located in the center of the separation wall 130. For example, if the separation wall 130 is elliptical, the inlet 135 may be located in the center of the ellipse, but is not limited thereto.

[0039] The plurality of flow path partitions 150 may be formed perpendicular to the outer surface of the separation wall 130. Here, the plurality of flow path partitions 150 may be formed alternately in parallel with each other, with one side abutting the inner circumferential surface of the tip housing 110, in order to induce the skin care solution to flow in a zigzag pattern from the injection ports 131 and 133 to the inlet port 135. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the flow path partitions 150 may be in a concentric or spiral shape. Therefore, the present invention can maximize the skin care efficiency by increasing the contact time between the skin care solution and the skin.

[0040] In addition, the thickness of the flow path partitions 150 may become thinner toward the ends, thereby increasing the contact area between the skin care solution and the skin, thereby maximizing the efficiency of skin care.

[0041] The plurality of flow path partitions 150 may be lower than or equal to the height of the tip housing 110, and may be formed in a concave shape with the center of the tip housing 110 as the apex. Therefore, the present invention can provide a tip 100 for a skin management device handpiece that is in close contact with the skin to prevent leakage of the skin management solution.

[0042] In addition, the embodiments disclosed in this specification and the drawings are merely specific examples presented to aid in understanding, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. It is obvious to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains that other modifications based on the technical idea of ​​the present invention can be implemented in addition to the embodiments disclosed herein.
