AI summary

A portable depilation instrument includes a shell, and a depilation mechanism and a heat dissipation mechanism inside the shell. The shell is provided with at least two outlets and one inlet, the shell introduces an external cooling medium from the inlet, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a heat conductive component, the depilation mechanism includes a refrigeration element and an emitter, the heat conductive component isolates the refrigeration element from the emitter in two mutually sealed channels, namely, a first channel and a second channel, the first channel and the second channel are respectively in communication with two outlets, and one of the outlets allows the first channel or the second channel to pass through inside of the entire shell from one end to the other end. Due to complete isolation and a push force, air can be discharged only from a respective corresponding outlet after a heat exchange.
