Description

  The present invention relates to an ion introducer that introduces an ionized component contained in an ionized solution into a living body by a pulse from the pulse output unit.

  As a first ion introducer as a background art, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2000-210385. As shown in FIG. 13, the first iontophoresis device as the background art is provided with a face skin contact portion 102 that comes into contact with the face skin of the user and outputs a galvanic ion current in front of the upper end of the main body 101. A plurality of far-infrared diodes UD1, UD2, and UD3 are provided inside the peripheral edge of the facial skin contact portion 102, and include a vibration generating portion and a far-infrared output portion 104 that outputs far-infrared rays. In this configuration, a grounding portion 106 that is brought into contact with the skin when the user grasps the main body is provided. According to the iontophoresis device as the background art, the power source of the battery is boosted using the DC / DC converter, and the galvanic ion current is output by the boosted power source, and the vibration generator and the far infrared output unit It generates vibrations and far infrared rays, and the user can carry out skin cosmetics using galvanic ion currents, far infrared rays and vibrations while carrying easily, as well as galvanic ion currents output at the skin beauty stage. By periodically varying the skin, the effect of skin irritation is high, whereby it is possible to maintain a skin that is always elastic and has good gloss. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 14, the iontophoresis device as this background art includes cleansing (FIG. 14 (a)), massage (FIG. 14 (b)), nutrient supply (FIG. 14 (c)), lifting ( Various pulse waveform modes shown in FIG. 14D are prepared, and operations in various pulse waveform modes are appropriately performed.

As a second iontophoresis device as a background art, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-259045, and an ultrasonic vibration part for applying ultrasonic vibration to the skin of a treatment site is made of a conductive material. In addition, the ultrasonic vibration part is common to the iontophoretic electrode for introducing ions of the active ingredient into the skin at the treatment site.

  However, the first background art is configured as described above, and only ion introduction is possible, and few massages are performed by vibration, and massages by vibration are performed as in the second background art. Even if it exists, it is an ion introducer which considered only the effective side, Comprising: There exists a subject that the convenience is not high from the surface of a user's operativity.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and has an object to provide an iontophoresis device capable of improving the operability for the user and providing ion introduction and massage with sufficient effect. To do. In addition, as in the second background art, it is possible to perform massage by vibration along with ion introduction, and to achieve multi-functionality that can also perform wrinkle stretching. Furthermore, even if massage by vibration is performed smoothly, it is essential if ions are not smoothly introduced by the original pulse output of the ion introducer, so it is possible to output more appropriate pulses. It is an object of the present invention.

  An iontophoresis device according to the present invention includes an electrode section that outputs current to an affected area, a pulse output section that outputs pulses to the electrode section, a vibrator that generates vibrations, and supplies various currents to the pulse output section and the vibrator An ion introducer that introduces an ionized component contained in an ionized solution into a living body by a pulse from the pulse output unit, and starts or restarts at least a vibrator when a human body is detected. is there. As described above, in the present invention, when the human body is detected, that is, when the electrode part is in contact with the affected part, the vibrator starts to be driven, so that the vibrator starts when the electrode part is not in contact. In addition, useless driving of a vibrator with large power consumption can be suppressed without the user being aware of it. Moreover, if the operation of the vibrator in the course set in advance in the iontophoresis device, the affected part can sufficiently receive the vibration of the vibrator assumed in the course.

  Further, the ion introducer according to the present invention stops the driving of the vibrator when necessary when the human body is not detected during the operation of the vibrator. As described above, in the present invention, when the human body is no longer detected, that is, when the electrode part is not in contact with the affected part, the drive of the vibrator is stopped, so the vibrator is driven when the electrode part is not in contact. The useless driving of a vibrator having a large power consumption can be suppressed without being noticed by the user. Moreover, if the operation of the vibrator in the course set in advance in the iontophoresis device, the affected part can sufficiently receive the vibration of the vibrator assumed in the course.

  Moreover, the iontophoresis device according to the present invention performs human body detection on the basis of a change in driving of a vibrator as necessary. As described above, in the present invention, since human body detection is performed based on a change in driving of the vibrator, that is, when driving the vibrator, when the electrode part is in contact with the affected part, the electrode part is in contact with the affected part. If not, the iontophoresis device is temporarily placed on a desk, etc., and the drive of the vibrator changes, and if the vibrator is configured by rotating an eccentric weight by rotating the motor, the rotational speed When the driving voltage (driving current) changes and the vibrator is configured using a piezoelectric element, the driving voltage (driving current) changes, and the human body is detected by this driving change. Therefore, it is possible to drive the vibrator alone without configuring a circuit for outputting and receiving the detection signal. In addition, it is necessary to drive the vibrator at regular intervals in order to detect whether or not the electrode part is in contact with the affected part, but it is possible to inform the user that the vibrator is being driven and the detection operation There is no waste in itself. Here, although a vibrator using a motor and a piezoelectric element has been illustrated, a vibrator having another configuration may be used.

  In addition, the ion introducer according to the present invention starts driving the first vibrator after the power is turned on based on a switch input, if necessary. As described above, in the present invention, the first vibrator drive start after the power is turned on is based on the switch input. Therefore, when the electrode part is brought into contact with the affected part, the vibrator is not suddenly driven and can be used safely and safely. can do. The vibrator can be driven after a predetermined period of time has passed since human body detection was made, but there are individual differences when determining such a predetermined time, and even the same user can get used to using it. In some cases, it may be desired to shorten the predetermined time, and it is very difficult to find the optimal predetermined time, and it is preferable to depend on the user's own operation for the first drive of the vibrator.

  Moreover, the iontophoresis device according to the present invention is provided with an integration circuit in a circuit constituting the human body detection, if necessary. In this way, in the present invention, since the integration circuit is provided in the circuit constituting the human body detection, the integration circuit works as a timer, and after detecting the human body continuously for a certain period of time, the vibrator is driven and the human body is accidentally detected. It does not malfunction when it is detected instantaneously, and can operate only when a human body is reliably detected. Here, even a circuit other than the integration circuit can be used as long as it functions as a timer.

  An iontophoresis device according to the present invention includes an electrode unit that outputs current to an affected area, a pulse output unit that outputs pulses to the electrode unit, and a power supply unit that supplies various currents to the pulse output unit, and an ionization solution An ion introducer for introducing an ionized component contained therein into a living body by a pulse from the pulse output unit, wherein the pulse output unit outputs a pulse with a reverse polarity for each pulse after the pulse is output. . In this way, in the present invention, since the pulse output unit outputs a pulse with a reverse polarity for each pulse after the pulse is output, even if the human body is charged by the pulse from the pulse output unit, the applied voltage is From positive to negative (or from negative to positive), the charge on the human body is released, an output waveform corresponding to the waveform output by the pulse output unit is obtained, and the expected effect can be sufficiently obtained.

  An iontophoresis device according to the present invention includes an electrode unit that outputs a current to the affected part, a pulse output unit that outputs a pulse to the electrode unit, and a power supply unit that supplies various currents to the pulse output unit, An ion introducer that introduces an ionized component contained in an ionized solution into a living body by a pulse from the pulse output unit, and outputs a pulse to a circuit that constitutes the pulse output part of the pulse output unit via a grounding switch. After the unit outputs a pulse for each pulse, the grounding switch is turned on to place the pulse output part in the grounded state. As described above, in the present invention, since the pulse output unit outputs a pulse for each pulse and then the grounding switch is turned on to put the pulse output unit in the ground state, the human body is charged by the pulse from the pulse output unit. Even if it becomes, not only the pulse output unit does not output a pulse, but also the grounded state is released and the charged charge to the human body is released, and an output waveform corresponding to the waveform output by the pulse output unit is obtained, The expected effect can be sufficiently obtained. The counter electrode that receives the pulse output from the normal pulse output unit is grounded and receives a pulse when the pulse is output. Here, however, the output pulse output unit itself also releases the charged charge. Therefore, it is meaningful to be in a grounded state to facilitate the release of electric charges more smoothly and to fully exert the effect of the pulse on the user.

It is divided into two areas. As described above, in the present invention, the plate part made of metal that directly contacts the affected part and constitutes the electrode part is divided into three or more areas, so that conduction between the divided areas is possible. If you have two or more divided areas, you can only care at one place, but if you have three or more divided areas, you can also care for multiple places. it can.

(First embodiment of the present invention)
An ion introducer according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a plan view and a right side view of an ion introducer according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a block diagram of the overall configuration of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a use state diagram of puffing according to the present embodiment. FIG. 4 is a circuit configuration diagram of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, FIG. 5 is a waveform diagram of a cleansing mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a massage mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a waveform diagram of an ion introduction mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a waveform diagram of a lifting mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment.

  In each of the drawings, the iontophoresiser according to the present embodiment includes a puff plate portion 1 that is an electrode portion that outputs current to an affected area, a pulse output portion 12 that outputs a pulse to the electrode portion, and a vibrator 13 that generates vibration. And a power supply unit (not shown) that supplies various currents to the pulse output unit 12 and the vibrator 13, and introduces an ionized component contained in the ionized solution into the living body by a pulse from the pulse output unit 12. When a human body is detected, pulse output is started to start driving the vibrator 13, and when no human body is detected, the pulse output is stopped to stop driving the vibrator 13, and the human body is detected again. In this case, the output of the pulse is restarted and the driving of the vibrator 13 is restarted. The present ion introducer roughly forms a front surface, the front body 2 having the puff plate portion 1 disposed at the tip thereof, and the rear surface of the front body 2, and an electric circuit such as the pulse output portion 12 is provided. It consists of a back body 3 to be installed. The lower side of the central part of the front body 2 and the back body 3 constitute a hand-held part that the user grips during use. And the main body which consists of this hand-held part and the said puff plate part 1 space apart, and the main body and the puff plate part 1 which is an electrode part couple | bond together via the connection part 2a, The said puff plate part 1 and the connection part 2a are connected. It is the structure currently formed as a receiving part. On the other hand, the puff ring 7 which is a holding member that holds the puff with respect to the receiving portion is an oval ring that can be fitted to the receiving portion, and against the external force in the inner direction of the long axis of the hole portion 7a of the ring. It has resilience. That is, the puff ring 7 is fitted to the receiving portion as a flange portion.

  The puff plate portion 1 is made of a conductive member, and is in a conductive state through a human body together with the counter electrode portion 6 also made of a conductive member. In actual use, the puff plate portion 1 comes into contact with the affected area, the counter electrode portion 6 comes into contact with a palm or a finger having the beauty device, and the puff plate portion 1 (or the counter electrode portion 6) passes through the human body. Thus, a current flows toward the counter electrode portion 6 (or the puff plate portion 1). An electrode line 1 a is provided inside the main body 10 so as to receive a current supply to the puff plate portion 1. However, there is only one power supply line 1a, and the other is unnecessary because the human body is regarded as a conductor. The planar shape of the puff plate portion 1 is a rouleau triangle, but this shape causes the puff of a nose or the like to be a convex portion as compared with other portions of the affected portion with which the puff plate portion 1 is brought into contact. When the plate portion 1 comes into contact, any side surface can be brought into contact with a contact surface having the same size, and ion introduction without deviation can be performed. Further, the shape of the roulau triangle itself of the puff plate portion 1 is uniform and the aesthetics are high.

  The puff ring 7 is formed by molding a resin. In selecting the resin, it is necessary to have at least resilience after molding, and it is preferable that the resin has flexibility that can be deformed by the force of the user's finger. If restoration is not required, after the user fits the puff plate 1 in a state in which the user applies a force to the inner side of the long axis of the puff ring 7 to make it easy to fit, the shape remains deformed. The puff ring 7 cannot hold the puff firmly on the puff plate portion 1.

  Further, the puff ring 7 is provided with a collar portion 7b in which the diameter 7c of one opening of the hole portion 7a of the ring is smaller than the diameter 7d of the other opening. By providing the collar portion 7b, the puff ring 7 can be prevented from passing through the puff plate portion 1 and falling into the connecting portion 2a, and the puff ring 7 can be fitted to the puff plate portion 1 at a fixed position. Further, by forming such a collar portion 7b only on one surface, the collar portion 7b is formed when the user applies an external force with a finger to deform the puff ring 7 in the inner direction of the long axis. The opening that is rigid and difficult to deform, while the other opening that does not form the collar 7b is not as rigid as that, so only the other opening that does not form the collar 7b is present. It expands and it becomes easy for a user to fit the puff ring 7 in the puff plate portion 1.

  The front body 2 is provided with an operation switch 4 at the center of the surface. The operation switch 4 includes a power switch button 4a, a mode switch 4b, and a strength switch 4c. The power switch button 4a receives power on / off of the ion introduction device, and the ion introduction device is activated by pressing the power switch button 4a in the power off state, while the power switch button is in the power on state. By depressing 4a, the present iontophoresis device is terminated. The mode switch 4b is a switch for switching from the currently operating mode to another mode. The mode changeover switch 4b can shift to another mode regardless of the mode. Each time the mode changeover switch 4b is pressed, the mode is changed to another mode. Therefore, when the mode changeover switch 4b is pressed several times, the mode is returned to the mode before the change. The strength switch 4c selects the strength of the output voltage of the pulse output from the pulse output unit 12 by switching the switch, or selects the strength of the vibrator 13. The selection of the output voltage of the pulse by the strength switch 4c and the strength of the vibrator 13 are provided (the mode in which the output voltage is strong and the vibrator 13 is strong is set to the high mode, the output voltage is weak and the vibrator 13 is selected). This is because the mode that is also weak is set to Low), to widen the user's choice and enhance convenience. Specifically, people who are fearful or sensitive to electrical signals may want to use the ion introducer by avoiding the electrical signal even though they want to use the ion introducer. By preparing, even such a user can be used with peace of mind. On the other hand, for users who confirm the effect on the pain that is terrifying rather than fear of electric signals, the use of only the Low mode is not satisfactory although there is some effect, but the High mode is prepared Therefore, it is possible to deal with such a user.

  A dome-shaped common switch is formed on the upper surface of the power switch button 4a, the mode change switch 4b, and the strength change switch 4c. The common switch can be pressed in any direction like a cross key. The common switch transmits the pressed state as it is to the power switch button 4a, the mode change switch 4b, and the strength change switch 4c disposed on the lower surface. That is, when the common switch is shifted down and pressed, the power switch button 4a is pressed, and when the common switch is shifted and pressed in the upper right direction, the mode switching switch 4b is pressed, and the common switch is moved in the upper left direction. When shifted and pressed, the strength changeover switch 4c is pressed.

  Further, the shape of the operation switch 4 of the front body 2 is circular when viewed from the plane direction, and a plurality of light emitting diodes 5 are arranged concentrically with this circle. The light emitting diode 5 includes a mode display lamp 5a indicating which mode is currently in progress, and a strength display lamp 5b indicating the intensity of pulse output and vibration of the vibrator. The mode display lamp 5a uses a full color LED. The control unit 9 controls the light emitting diode 5 so that the user can discriminate each mode, for example, to emit light blue during ion cleansing, orange during massage, blue during ion introduction, and white during lifting. To do. The strong and weak display lamps 5b are each provided with an LED. When strong, the strong LED emits light, and when weak, the weak LED emits light.

  The back body 3 has a counter electrode portion 6 formed on the rear end surface thereof, a battery housing portion in which a battery as a current supply source can be attached and detached, and a current supply from the internal battery. In response, the circuit board on which the control unit 9 for controlling the current to be converted into a pulse and controlling the puff plate unit 1 (or the counter electrode unit 6) to output the pulse is disposed inside. is there. The back body 3 is formed in color, and this is for covering a circuit board, a power supply unit, and the like disposed therein. Therefore, in order to improve the aesthetics for the appearance person, there is a case where the internal circuit board is intentionally transmitted by making it transparent or semi-transparent in order to specialize the design. The battery here is of a charge type, and can be configured to notify by sound when the charge capacity is exhausted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the controller 9 receives inputs from the power switch button 4a, the mode selector switch 4b, and the strength selector switch 4c, and controls the light emitting diode 5, the pulse output unit 12, and the vibrator 13. In practice, the control unit 9 is mainly implemented by a microcomputer, and the remaining part is a circuit. The light emitting diode 5 emits light according to a control signal (light emission control signal) output from the control unit 9. The pulse output unit 12 outputs a pulse current to the puff plate unit 1 and the counter electrode unit 6 in accordance with a control signal (electrode control signal) output from the control unit 9. The vibrator 13 rotates the motor according to a control signal (vibrator control signal) output from the control unit 9.

  The pulse output from the pulse output unit 12 has a mode for each application. In this embodiment, ion cleansing for removing toxins and waste accumulated in the deep part of the skin, and expanding and contracting facial skin holes. There is a massage mode that keeps the skin soft and glossy and elastic, ion introduction that penetrates nutrients such as lotion into the deep part of the skin, and a lifting mode that expands and contracts the pores of the skin and holds the skin with tension .

  Further, the control unit 9 appropriately outputs a detection signal for human body detection from the pulse output unit 12. The human body detection is to detect whether or not the puff plate portion 1 is in contact with the human body. The purpose of using the human body detection is to detect the human body, output a pulse and vibrate it, and reliably perform ion introduction to the user. In this iontophoresis device, it is particularly useful for performing a soft start, that is, it means that the soft start is performed in a state where the puff plate portion 1 is reliably in contact with the human body, and the electrode portion 1 is in contact with the human body. If the soft start is performed in a state where the soft start is not performed and the human body is brought into contact with the human body during the normal operation after the soft start has elapsed, the meaning of the soft start is lost. When the pulse of each mode is output from the pulse output unit 12, the detection signal may not be output. This is because when the pulse of each mode is output appropriately, the electrode unit 1 is in contact with the human body, and therefore it is not necessary to output a separate detection signal. Here, in order to notify the user that the electrode unit 1 is in contact with the human body appropriately, the light emission of the light emitting diode 5 is changed. Specifically, the light-emitting diode 5 is blinked until the human body is detected, and is turned on when the human body is detected.

  Specifically, in the human body detection, a detection signal having a predetermined frequency is output from the pulse output unit 12 to the electrode unit. This detection signal is input to the counter electrode unit 6 through the human body when the human body and the electrode unit 1 are in contact with each other. Since it is through a human body, the detection signal detected by the counter electrode unit 6 is a weak signal containing noise compared to the detection signal detected by the puff plate unit 1. When it is determined whether or not the human body is actually in contact with such a signal, it is an early measure to determine that the human body is detected if even one of the detection signals is detected. There is also a possibility that the peak value has increased. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4B, an integration circuit is provided in the human body detection circuit, and when the detection signal is input for a predetermined time, the control unit 9 indicates that the human body is detected. It was decided to output a signal. Here, the fixed time can be adjusted by changing the resistance of the integrating circuit or the capacitance of the capacitor, and can also be made variable. As another human body detection method, the detection signal detected by the counter electrode 6 corresponding to the output detection signal is averaged, and only when a predetermined voltage level or higher is reached, the operation mode is shifted. You can also. Further, not only the average of the detected detection signals but also the average of the remaining detection signals can be set as a comparison target by ignoring the first and last several detection signals. The reason why some of the first and last detection signals are ignored is that the detection signals for the first and last electric signals are generally weakened when an electric signal is applied to the human body. Other than this, it is possible to determine whether there are two points where the rate of change in voltage is high, with the above-mentioned property being used. These two points mean portions where the detection signals for the first and last electrical signals are weakened. Further, the determination may be made not only based on the average but also based on the number of detection signals exceeding a predetermined voltage level among the detection signals.

  When the control unit 9 receives the human body detection detection signal and detects a human body, it starts outputting pulses and starts driving the vibrator 13. In order to determine that the human body is no longer detected, when a pulse is output, it can be determined that the electrode is in contact with the affected area by detecting the pulse at the other electrode. Therefore, it can be determined that the human body is no longer detected when this pulse is no longer detected by the other electrode. When the human body is no longer detected, the pulse output is stopped and the driving of the vibrator 13 is stopped. Further, when the human body is detected again, the pulse output is restarted and the driving of the vibrator 13 is restarted.

  The pulse is output from the pulse output unit 12. Whether the pulse is output to the puff plate unit 1 or the pulse to the counter electrode unit 6 is different depending on the mode. When a pulse is output to the puff plate unit 1, the counter electrode unit 6 needs to drop the voltage level to GND. On the other hand, when outputting a pulse to the counter electrode part 6, the puff plate part 1 needs to drop the voltage level to GND. The reason why the voltage level of the electrode on the side where no pulse is output is lowered to GND is that the output pulse passes through the human body and is not output.

  As shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 7, the pulse output unit 12 gives a sufficient pulse rise time when generating each pulse, and the waveform of the pulse rise is curved (hereinafter, referred to as a slow pulse rise function), so that Without suddenly reaching the coherent voltage that feels electricity, the voltage level of the pulse slowly rises and reaches the coherent voltage to prevent the living body from feeling electricity, and this ion introducer is used comfortably can do. In particular, when using an iontophoresis device as the affected area, the skin of the face is sensitive, so the discomfort when feeling such electricity is significant compared to other affected areas, and this iontophoresis device is effective. It is. 6 or 8 does not show each pulse in detail, but only shows the pulse as a whole. Like FIG. 5 or FIG. 7, the pulse output unit 12 generates a pulse at the time of generating each pulse. A sufficient rise time is given, and the rectangular shape of the rise of the pulse is curved. 6 or 8 is composed of a set of pulses, but it is not composed of pulses, but it is also possible to accurately apply a voltage having such a waveform by actually controlling the voltage. The specific rise time for preventing the human body from feeling pain is preferably 0.1 [ms] to 1 [ms]. In other words, this also depends on the type of pulse, but if it is up to about 40% of the period, it is an allowable range from the viewpoint of the effect of ion introduction. It is desirable to start up with sufficient time from the viewpoint that human body pain does not occur, but if the period is longer than the pulse period, the pulse ends before starting up, and also from the viewpoint of the effect of ion introduction Undesirably limited. Further, the difference between FIG. 6 and FIG. 8 is that the pulse period in FIG. 8 is larger (for example, about 10 times the pulse period in FIG. 6 is the pulse period in FIG. 8).

  As shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, when the pulse output unit 12 outputs a negative pulse after outputting a positive pulse, a negative pulse is output through a pause period after the positive pulse is output (hereinafter referred to as a pause). By adding a period, the base level is changed from the positive pulse voltage level to the base level voltage level without going through the transition from the positive pulse voltage level to the negative pulse voltage level. Since the voltage level changes from a negative voltage level to a negative pulse voltage level, the living body can be driven without applying an excessive voltage level load. Here, instead of outputting a negative pulse for each pulse, a plurality of positive pulses are output during one cycle in a certain waveform mode, and then a negative pulse is output after a pause period. is there.

  Next, the operation of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment will be described. The user activates the ion introducer by pressing the power switch 5a of the ion introducer. The controller 9 is activated and turns on all the light emitting diodes 5 for a predetermined time. This lighting indicates that the operation mode is changed from the standby mode. When shifting to the operation mode, the control unit 9 outputs a detection signal from the pulse output unit 12. When the signal cannot be received with respect to the output of the detection signal during the predetermined period, the standby mode is entered. On the other hand, when the signal can be received with respect to the output of the detection signal within the predetermined period, the controller 9 shifts to the ion cleansing mode. In the ion cleansing mode, the control unit 9 causes the pulse output unit 12 to output a pulse with an early cycle and causes the vibrator 13 to vibrate to discharge dirt inside the skin. Along with the operation in the ion cleansing mode, the control unit 9 turns on the mode display lamp 5a in light blue. After the end of the ion cleansing mode, there is a pause. This is because the user needs to clean the face after ion cleansing. After the user performs such face washing or the like, the power switch 5a is pressed to release the pause, and the control unit 9 shifts to the massage mode. In the massage mode, the control unit 9 massages the skin by causing the pulse output unit 12 to output a 1: 1 Duty +/− and vibrating the vibrator 13 for 100 [msec]. Along with the operation in the massage mode, the control unit 9 lights the mode display LED 5a in orange. After the end of the massage mode, pause once. The user puts a cotton puff 8 in which provitamin C is infiltrated into the affected area on the puff plate 1, and further pushes and bends the puff ring 7 toward the inner side of the long axis of the ring to deform the puff ring 7. Is fitted to the puff plate portion 1 covered with (see FIG. 3A). When the user presses the power switch 4a, the control unit 9 shifts to the ion introduction mode. At the time of ion introduction, the control unit 9 causes the pulse output unit 12 to output a pulse output with an early cycle, and vibrates the vibrator 13 to infiltrate provitamin C into the skin. Along with the operation of this ion introduction mode, the controller 9 lights the mode display lamp 5a in blue. After completion of the ion introduction mode, the puff ring 7 fitted to the electrode unit 1 is removed, the cotton puff 8 is also removed, and the control unit 9 shifts to the lifting mode. At the time of this lifting, in order to stabilize the permeated provitamin C, the control unit 9 causes the pulse output unit 12 to output 1: 1 Duty +/− for about 1 [min]. At this time, there is no vibration of the vibrator 13. Along with the operation in the lifting mode, the control unit 9 lights the mode display lamp 5a in white. With the above, the normal ion introduction operation is completed, and a transition is made to the standby mode.

  When the user actually removes the iontophoresis device from the affected area while using each mode, the pulse cannot be detected by the other electrode, and it is determined that the puff plate portion 1 is separated from the affected area. The vibration is stopped and the pulse output is stopped. When the vibration and pulse output of the vibrator 13 is thus stopped, the detection signal is output again. When the puff plate unit 1 is brought into contact with the affected part again, a detection signal can be detected, and it is determined that the puff plate part 1 is in contact with the affected part, and the remaining driving period in the stopped mode is detected. The vibration and pulse output of the vibrator 13 are resumed.

  As described above, according to the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, the vibrator 13 starts to be driven when the puff plate portion 1 is in contact with the affected area. Therefore, the vibrator is operated when the puff plate portion 1 is not in contact. 13 is not started, and useless driving of the vibrator 13 with large power consumption can be suppressed without the user being aware of it. Moreover, if the operation of the vibrator 13 in the course set in advance in the iontophoresis device, the affected part can sufficiently receive the vibration of the vibrator 13 assumed in the course. Further, when the human body is no longer detected, that is, when the puff plate portion 1 is not in contact with the affected area, the drive of the vibrator 13 is stopped, so that the vibrator 13 is driven when the puff plate portion 1 is not in contact. The useless driving of the vibrator 13 that consumes a large amount of power can be suppressed without the user being aware of it.

  In the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, human body detection can also be performed based on the drive change of the vibrator 13, and when the vibrator 13 is driven, when the electrode part is in contact with the affected part, the puff plate part 1 is not in contact with the affected area, the iontophoresis device is temporarily placed on a desk or the like, and the drive of the vibrator 13 is changed, and the vibrator 13 is rotated by rotating the eccentric weight by rotating the motor. When configured, the rotational speed and drive voltage (drive current) change. When the vibrator 13 is configured using a piezoelectric element, the drive voltage (drive current) changes. It is possible to drive the vibrator 13 alone without configuring a circuit for performing detection and outputting and receiving a detection signal for separate detection. Moreover, although it is necessary to drive the vibrator 13 at regular intervals in order to detect whether or not the electrode part 1 is in contact with the affected part, it can inform the user that it is being driven, The detection operation itself is not wasted. Here, although a vibrator using a motor and a piezoelectric element has been illustrated, a vibrator having another configuration may be used.

  Moreover, in the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, the first vibrator 13 starts to be driven based on the switch input after the power is turned on. Therefore, when the puff plate part 1 is brought into contact with the affected part, the vibrator 13 is suddenly driven. It can be used safely and safely.

(Second embodiment of the present invention)
An ion introducer according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9 or FIG. 9 is a waveform diagram of a cleansing mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, FIG. 10 is a waveform diagram of an ion introduction mode of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 11 is an ion introducer according to the present embodiment. FIG.
The ion introducer according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as the ion introducer according to the first embodiment, and is configured such that the pulse output unit 12 changes the applied voltage from positive to negative for each pulse. It is.

  The pulse output unit 12 according to the present embodiment includes a cleansing mode and an ion introduction mode, and the cleansing mode waveform diagram of FIG. 5 and the ion introduction mode waveform diagram of FIG. Differently, the waveform diagram of the cleansing mode in FIG. 9 and the waveform diagram of the ion introduction mode in FIG. 10 were improved. The difference is that FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 insert a negative pulse after a positive pulse for each pulse. Due to this difference, the charge charged in the body can be released, and the waveform diagram of the detection voltage detected by the counter electrode 6 is approximated to the output voltage, and an effective pulse is given to the user's skin. The purpose such as ion introduction can be achieved smoothly. The waveform diagram of the detection voltage when such a negative pulse is not inserted is in a charged state in the body, so once the pulse rises, it cannot be sufficiently lowered from the predetermined voltage as shown by the dotted line in FIG. The desired effect could not be given to the skin. When the pulse according to the present embodiment is output, the pulse waveform is sufficiently close to 0 potential for each pulse than the dotted line in FIG. The waveform diagram of the output voltage and the detection voltage becomes more approximate in this way because a negative pulse is output with respect to a positive pulse for each pulse. The maximum absolute value of the voltage level of the negative pulse is assumed to be smaller than the maximum voltage level of the positive pulse. This is because the negative pulse is performed to release the charge in the body, and the purpose is not to lower the detection voltage to a negative voltage level. In addition, if the maximum absolute value of the negative pulse voltage level is set to the same level as the maximum voltage level of the positive pulse, the burden on the user's body will be even greater, and the skin will be too irritating and adversely affect sensitive skin. Because it might be. Therefore, as a premise for increasing the maximum absolute value of the negative voltage level, it is desirable to insert the pause period for each pulse in the first embodiment.

  The operation of the ion introducer according to the present embodiment is the same as the operation of the first embodiment, and only the pulses output from the pulse output unit 12 are different.

  As described above, according to the ion introducer according to the present embodiment, since the pulse output unit outputs a pulse and outputs a pulse having a reverse polarity for each pulse, the human body is charged by the pulse from the pulse output unit 12. However, the applied voltage is changed from positive to negative (or from negative to positive), the charge to the human body is released, and an output waveform corresponding to the waveform output by the pulse output unit 12 is obtained, and the expected effect is sufficient. Can get to. In the present embodiment, a pulse having a polarity opposite to that of the cleansing and ion introduction mode waveforms is output. This is because the cleansing and ion introduction is compared with the frequency of the massage and lifting modes. Because it is expensive. That is, when the frequency is high, there is a characteristic that once the voltage rises, it is difficult to drop. However, naturally, a pulse having a reverse polarity can also be inserted into massage and lifting, and a higher effect can be desired.

  In the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the circuit constituting the pulse output part of the pulse output unit 12 is grounded via the grounding switch 15, and the pulse output unit 12 After each pulse is output, the grounding switch 15 can be turned on to place the pulse output portion in the ground state. Even if the human body is charged by the pulse from the pulse output portion 12, the pulse output portion 12 Not only does not output a pulse, but is further grounded and the charge to the human body is released, an output waveform corresponding to the waveform output by the pulse output unit is obtained, and the expected effect can be sufficiently obtained. The pulse output side is also grounded so that the charge in the body can be sufficiently released.

  In addition, the transistor Q1 in FIG. 11 and the transistor Q2 as the ground switch 15 can be turned on simultaneously, but the transistor Q2 can be turned on for a while after the transistor Q1 is turned on. In addition, by providing such a time difference (electrical non-energization period), the electric non-conduction period in which the pulse drops can be gradually changed, and the electric potential can be lowered to 0 potential at once after the electric non-energization period has elapsed. The merit of lowering in stages is to reduce the burden on the affected area of the user.

(Third embodiment of the present invention)
An ion introducer according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a plan view of an ion introducer according to this embodiment.
In FIG. 12A, the ion introducer according to the present embodiment is configured in the same manner as the ion introducer according to the first embodiment, and is in direct contact with the affected part, and the puff plate part 1 has three divided regions. It is the structure which is different from being divided into 20 parts.

  The puff plate portion 1 is composed of three divided regions 20a, 20b, and 20c. The divided area 20a and the divided area 20b are electrically connected, and the space between the divided area 20a and the divided area 20b can be locally cared for. Similarly, the divided region 20b and the divided region 20c are electrically connected, and the space between the divided region 20b and the divided region 20c can be locally cared for. Therefore, even if the user contacts the puff plate portion 1 at the same location, two locations can be cared for. Although care can be performed at two places simultaneously, care can be performed with a time difference, and it is preferable to provide care with a time difference from the viewpoint of driving stability.

  As described above, according to the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, the puff plate portion 1 is configured to be divided into three regions so that the puff plate portion 1 is in direct contact with the affected part. If you have two or more divided areas, you can only care at one place, but if you have three or more divided areas, you can also care for multiple places. it can.

  Moreover, in the iontophoresis device according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12 (b), the puff plate portion 1 can be constituted by more divided regions 20, and care can be taken at more places. it can. In addition to adjacent divided areas, for example, divided areas 20a and 20j, or divided areas 20a and 20s have different intensities and different strengths, so that more flexible and fine wrinkle care is possible. It can be carried out.
