Description

  The present invention relates to a light irradiation type beauty apparatus.

  Conventionally, as in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, by applying flashlight to the skin of a living body, light for performing skin care such as removal of spots, elimination of acne by sterilization, and photocosmetics such as hair removal There is an irradiation-type beauty device. And since the photocosmetic effect obtained by the wavelength of irradiated light is different, there is a need for a cosmetic device that can irradiate light of a plurality of wavelengths that can provide a plurality of photocosmetic effects with one device.

  Specifically, in hair removal, there are those that burn the hair in a short period of time and those that remove the hair over a long period of time by suppressing hair root cell activity to suppress hair growth. And in stain care, it removes stains in a short period of time to photolyze pigments such as melanin that cause stains, and removes stains over a long period of time that activates living cells and promotes the discharge of the pigments. There are things. And, in order to obtain a photocosmetic effect in the short period of time, since a pain such as heat is caused to the user at the time of light irradiation, which method should be used depending on the physical condition, constitution, taste, etc. of the user There is a need for a light-irradiating beauty device that can be selected.

  Therefore, for example, as in Patent Document 1, by applying light from a plurality of light sources to a skin from a single irradiation probe, a photo epilation device (light irradiation) that can irradiate light of a plurality of wavelengths with a single device. Type beauty device). Specifically, two light sources having wavelengths in the visible light region of red and blue light, one irradiation probe for irradiating light to the skin, and a connecting portion such as a light mixing unit provided between each light source and the irradiation probe The light from each light source is introduced into the irradiation probe by the connecting portion. Then, by switching the light source to emit light, it is possible to irradiate the skin with light of two wavelengths of red light and blue light, and perform the thermal effect by red light and the hair removal by destruction of hair root cells by blue light. is there.

  Further, as in Patent Document 2, an optical beauty device (light-irradiated beauty) that can change the wavelength of light emitted from the irradiation port by cutting light of a predetermined wavelength out of light from the light source using a filter. Device). Specifically, it has one light source, a handpiece having an irradiation unit that irradiates the skin with light from the light source, and a plurality of filters that are detachable from the handpiece and block light of different wavelengths. is there. Then, by attaching one of the filters to the handpiece, the light having a wavelength corresponding to the attached filter is cut, and the light having the remaining wavelength transmitted through the filter is irradiated onto the skin. In other words, the skin can be irradiated with light having a plurality of wavelengths by exchanging the filter and switching the wavelength to be cut from the irradiation light. Further, the filter has a lens surface sandwiched between the filter support and prevents the filter support from rattling on the lens surface when mounted on the handpiece.

Japanese Patent No. 1926400 Japanese Patent No. 3638596

  However, in Patent Document 1, since a plurality of light sources can be switched and provided in the device, the device is large and expensive to be used by a specialist, and is an inexpensive handy type that can be used by gripping the device body. A light irradiation type beauty device is desired. In particular, photocosmetics using a method that requires a long period of time that does not cause pain requires a long-term hospital visit, and therefore there is a problem that it is difficult to receive photocosmetics in terms of time and cost.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, since the filter support is made of a polymer resin, the lens surface is fixed together with an adhesive, and the support force is increased due to softening or decomposition of the resin or adhesive due to heat generated during light emission. The filter may be lowered and the filter may become loose during use. And in order to improve the said support force, the range which clamps a lens surface will be expanded, the effective area of the lens surface which is a light transmission area | region of a filter will be reduced, and the irradiation efficiency to skin will fall.

  Therefore, the present invention has been invented in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a light-emitting beauty device that can irradiate light of a plurality of wavelengths and that can be used by holding the main body and is small in size. It was.

  In order to solve the above problems, the light irradiation type beauty apparatus of the present invention includes a light source 33 and a lens 30 at one end of a main body 1 to be grasped and used, and covers the light source 33 and the lens 30 and covers the light source 33. A cover 48 having an irradiation port 56 through which emitted light is guided from the lens 30 is attached to the one end. The irradiation port 56 is provided with an optical filter 58 that absorbs light of a part of the wavelength from the guided light. Furthermore, a plurality of covers 48 are provided for replacement, and the wavelength to be absorbed is different for each cover 48, and the wavelength of light applied to the skin is changed by replacing the cover 48. Yes.

  By adopting such a configuration, the wavelength of the irradiation light applied to the skin can be changed by replacing or replacing the cover 48 attached to the main body 1. And since the wavelength of irradiation light changes, the photocosmetic effect provided to skin is also changed. That is, since each cover 48 imparts a different photocosmetic effect to the skin, the photocosmetic effect imparted to the skin can be easily switched depending on which cover 48 is attached to the main body 1. .

  Further, the cover 48 includes a frame (54) having the irradiation port 56 at an end, and the end of the frame (54) having the irradiation port 56 comes into contact with the skin so that the light source 33 is provided. It is preferable that the light source 11 emits light when the light emitting switch 11 that emits light emits an electric signal and the electric signal continues for a predetermined time.

  As described above, the light-irradiating beauty device of the present invention can change the photocosmetic effect imparted to the skin because the wavelength of the irradiation light irradiated to the skin is changed by replacing the cover. That is, a single body can easily switch and provide a plurality of photocosmetic effects, and the photoirradiation beauty device has improved usability.

  In addition, since the light source emits light when the contact of the frame with the skin continues for a certain time or more, the contact of the frame with the skin during light irradiation is ensured, so that the irradiation port is securely attached to the skin. The irradiation light can be irradiated in close contact. That is, a gap is not generated between the irradiation port and the skin at the time of light irradiation, and the irradiation light can be prevented from leaking to the outside, and safety can be improved.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the light irradiation type beauty device of the present invention includes a cylindrical main body 1 that can be held and used, an irradiation unit 22 that includes a light source 33 and a lens 30, and a float that comes into contact with the skin. And a cover 48 provided with a frame 54. The light emitted from the light source 33 is guided to the irradiation port 56 provided in the float frame 54 through the lens 30 and is irradiated to the part surrounded by the skin float frame 54 and facing the irradiation port 56. . Further, the irradiation unit 22 and the cover 48 are detachable from the main body 1.

  Specifically, in the main body 1, a power source 2 such as a secondary battery, a capacitor 3 that stores electric charges for flash emission of the light source 33, and a charge / discharge control by detecting changes in the amount of charge and temperature of the capacitor 3. And a circuit board 4 having a control unit (not shown) for performing the above. On the outer peripheral surface of the main body 1, an operation switch 5 for performing external operations such as turning on / off the power source 2 and starting power storage, a notification unit 6 such as an LED for displaying the external operation, charging completion, abnormality, etc. to the outside, A charging terminal 7 for charging the power source 2 and a locking operation unit 8 for releasing the locking of the cover 48 to the main body 1 are provided.

  One end of the main body 1 in the axial direction is an inclined surface 10 inclined with respect to the central axis of the cylinder, and an irradiation unit 22 is attached to the approximate center of the inclined surface 10. A cover 48 covers the inclined surface 10. The other end in the axial direction of the main body 1 is a plane orthogonal to the axis, and a reset switch 9 for resetting the setting of the circuit board 4 is recessed in the plane.

  The inclined surface 10 engages with the locking portion 15 that locks the cover 48 so as to be releasable by the locking operation portion 8, the light emission switch 11 that triggers the light emission of the light source 33, and the irradiation unit 22. And an attachment portion 18 for attaching the unit 22 to the inclined surface 10. The locking portion 15 includes a locking projection 16 that locks the hook 51 provided on the cover 48, and the locking projection 16 is supported on the inner surface of the main body 1 via an elastic body 17. The engagement with the hook 51 is released against the urging of the elastic body 17 by an external operation.

  When the light emitting switch 11 is pressed, the switch part 12 that outputs an electric signal that causes the light source 33 to emit light to the circuit board 4, the pressing piece 13 that presses the switch part 12, and the pressing piece 13 are orthogonal to the inclined surface 10. The elastic body 14 is urged in the direction opposite to the direction in which the switch portion 12 is pressed in the direction to be pressed. When the pressing piece 13 presses the switch portion 12 against the bias of the elastic body 14, the electrical signal is output, and the electrical signal is continuously input to the circuit board 4 for about 3 seconds. Thus, the circuit board 4 permits the light source 33 to emit light and the light source 33 emits light.

  The mounting unit 18 includes a U-shaped claw 19 having a tip opening in a direction orthogonal to the inclined surface 10, a unit detection unit 20 that detects mounting of the irradiation unit 22, and a mounted irradiation unit 22. And a main body side connector 21 for electrically connecting the circuit board 4 of the main body 1. The claws 19 are respectively disposed on both sides of the main body side connector 21, and the irradiation unit 22 is mounted and held on the inclined surface 10 by engaging with both sides of the irradiation unit 22.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the irradiation unit 22 attached to the inclined surface 10 is held in a state in which a substantially rectangular opening is provided at one end and the bottom which is the other end is in contact with the inclined surface 10. It has a box shape, and the box is formed by a split unit case 24.

  The bottom of the box has a detection projection 25 that causes the unit detection unit 20 to detect the attachment of the irradiation unit 22, and has a recess 26 in which the unit-side connector 27 is exposed at substantially the center of the bottom. When the main body 1 is mounted, the unit side connector 27 and the main body side connector 21 are electrically connected. Further, both end faces in the longitudinal direction of the opening of the box are provided with engaging projections 28 detachably engageable with the claw 19, and the engaging projections 28 are respectively sandwiched between U-shaped one claw 19. Thus, the irradiation unit 22 is held in the mounting portion 18.

  That is, the engagement / disengagement between the claw 19 and the engagement protrusion 28 is performed by moving the irradiation unit 22 in a direction orthogonal to the inclined surface 10. The engagement protrusion 28 is moved from the U-shaped opening side of the claw 19 to the bottom side. The engagement protrusion 28 is engaged by being pushed toward the end, and the engaged engagement protrusion 28 is pulled out to the U-shaped opening side to be detached. One direction in which the claw 19 and the engagement projection 28 are engaged / disengaged is an irradiation direction F in which the irradiation light from the irradiation unit 22 travels. The side surface along the longitudinal direction orthogonal to the both end surfaces has a concavo-convex portion 29 for preventing slipping of a finger gripped at the time of engagement / disengagement with the mounting portion 18. The finger holding the irradiation unit 22 is prevented from slipping during the engagement / disengagement.

  Thus, the irradiation unit 22 can be easily attached and detached by pushing into the main body 1 or pulling from the main body 1 without using a tool such as a screwdriver or a spanner, and is familiar with the manufacture and use of the light irradiation type beauty apparatus. Even a person who is not present can easily replace the irradiation unit 22. For this reason, other irradiation units such as replacement of the irradiation unit 22 in which the light source 33 has deteriorated, a positional deviation between the light source 33 and the lens 30 has occurred, or replacement with an irradiation unit 22 that emits light of a different wavelength. 22 can be easily replaced and replaced.

  In addition, as means for holding the irradiation unit 22 detachably without using a tool, in addition to the structure in which the engagement protrusion 28 is clamped by the U-shaped claw 19, engagement means by unevenness, hooks, fasteners, etc. And is set as appropriate according to the shape of the irradiation unit 22 and the shape of the mounting portion 18. Of course, if a tool is not required, a screw thread may be formed on the outer surface of the irradiation unit 22, the irradiation unit 22 may be gripped and rotated, screwed into the mounting portion 18, and held on the inclined surface 10. Good.

  Moreover, the opening of the box of the irradiation unit 22 is an emission port that emits light from the light source 33 to the outside of the unit, and the lens 30 is sandwiched and fixed between the two unit cases 24 as a lid that covers the opening of the box. The lens 30 includes a lens surface 31 that covers the opening and emits light from the light source 33 toward the irradiation direction F, and a frame portion 32 that extends around the entire outer end of the lens surface 31. The outer surface of the frame portion 32 is fixed and held on the inner wall of the unit case 24. That is, the lens surface 31 is a lid that is substantially the same shape as the opening of the box and covers the opening, and the irradiation light that is light emitted from the lens 30 travels only in the irradiation direction F orthogonal to the opening. The lens 30 is corrected by a reflection plate 37 described later, and the lens 30 is preferably a dimming lens such as a concave lens or a convex lens.

  Inside the box, a xenon tube 34a that is a light source 33, a reflection plate 37 that reflects light from the light source 33 and guides it to the lens 30, and a holder that holds the light source 33 and the reflection plate 37 in the irradiation unit 22. And a circuit unit 35 that electrically connects the unit-side connector 27 and the light source 33. In the circuit unit 35, reference numeral 36 denotes a trigger transformer that applies a trigger voltage to the light source 33. In FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the wiring that connects the light source 33 and the circuit unit 35 is omitted.

  The reflection plate 37 is a cup-shaped metal plate having an opening having substantially the same size and shape as the lens surface 31, and an end portion forming the opening is arranged in a space inside the U-shape of the lens 30 and is a frame portion 32. And the inner surface of the lens surface 31. And it has the through-hole 38 mutually connected by the bottom part side of both the end surfaces of the longitudinal direction of a cup, respectively, and the light source 33 is arrange | positioned inside the reflecting plate 37 in the form which connects both through-holes 38 and 38. Yes. Therefore, the light emitted from the light source 33 is reflected on the inner surface of the reflection plate 37 and is guided in a substantially uniform distribution over the entire lens surface 31.

  The holding unit 39 that holds the light source 33 and the reflection plate 37 is based on the two rings 45 that fix the light source 33 to the reflection plate 37, the base 40 that contacts the bottom and the outer surface of the reflection plate 37, and the lens 30. The engaging portion 44b for fixing the base 40 and a cushion 46 disposed between the bottom of the reflecting plate 37 and the base 40 are included.

  The rings 45 are made of an elastic body, and end portions protruding from the reflection plate 37 to the outside from the through holes 38 of the light source 33 are forcibly fitted to the inner circumference, and the opposing surfaces of the two rings 45 are respectively reflection plates 37. Is in contact with the end face. For this reason, the light source 33 is fixedly held on the reflecting plate 37 via the ring 45, and the positional deviation of the light source 33 with respect to the reflecting plate 37 is prevented.

  The base 40 has a bottom plate 41 having a placement surface on which the cushion 46 is placed, a plurality of columns 42 extending from the bottom plate 41, and positions facing the placement surface of the bottom plate 41. And a rectangular frame member 43 connecting the tips of the columns 42. The reflecting plate 37 is disposed in a space surrounded by the mounting surface of the base 40, the column 42, and the frame member 43, and the engaging portion 44 b of the base 40 is provided in the frame portion 32 of the lens 30. By engaging the engaged portion 44a, the reflecting plate 37 is elastically pressed against the lens 30 by the base 40 via the cushion 46, and is fixedly held on the unit case 24.

  That is, the base 40 has a cup shape that covers the reflection plate 37, and is provided with a heat radiation port 47 that releases and cools the heat generated by the light source 33 to the outside on the end surface and side surface of the cup. The light source 33 and the reflection plate 37 are elastically fixed and held by the unit case 24 via the holding unit 39, and the light source is applied by an impact such as when the irradiation unit 22 is detached from the main body 1 or when the main body 1 is removed. 33 and the reflection surface are prevented from being displaced, and stable light irradiation is ensured.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the cover 48 includes a rectangular cylindrical float frame 54 formed of a light shielding member that does not transmit light, and a cover member 49 that supports the float frame 54 in a floatable manner. It is a thing.

  The cover member 49 is hollow and has a mountain shape having a top in the irradiation direction F, and has a cylindrical shape with both the top and the ridge opened. Specifically, an end 50 on the ridge side of the mountain is opened in an annular shape along the outer periphery of the inclined surface 10, and a hook 51 is extended to the end 50 on the heel side. Therefore, when the hook 51 is engaged with the locking portion 15 of the inclined surface 10, the cover 48 is attached to the main body 1, and when the locking operation portion 8 is externally operated to release the engagement, the cover 48 is detached from the main body 1. The cover 48 is also detachable from the main body 1 without using a tool, like the irradiation unit 22.

  An end 52 on the top side of the mountain, which is the tip side in the irradiation direction F, is smaller than the opening on the heel side and opens in a rectangular shape covering the outer periphery of the float frame 54, and the top side opening is formed in the float frame. 54 is blocked. That is, the cover member 49 covers the inclined surface 10 and the irradiation unit 22 and is arranged with the float frame 54 floating on the top.

  Further, the float frame 54 is a cylinder having an internal space whose shape is larger than the outer periphery of the box of the irradiation unit 22, and the irradiation unit 22 is located in the internal space when the cover 48 is attached to the main body 1. . And the edge part located in the top side of the cover member 49 of the float frame 54 is the contact part 55 which contact | abuts skin, and the opening of this edge part is aligned with the lens 30 of the irradiation unit 22, and the irradiation direction F. The irradiation port 56 irradiates the skin with the irradiation light from the irradiation unit 22.

  Further, a lattice-like light-transmitting member 57 is disposed at the irradiation port 56, and the contacted skin is prevented from entering the inside of the float frame 54 from the irradiation port 56, and is heated to a high temperature by light emission from the light source 33. This prevents the skin from contacting the lens 30 and causing burns. The light transmitting member 57 is a member capable of transmitting the light guided from the lens 30, and the transmitted light changes in the distribution of the light amount adjusted by the reflecting plate 37 and the lens 30 and the traveling direction of the light. It is something that does not. That is, the translucent member 57 is of a shape and material that does not make the distribution of irradiation light non-uniform and transmits only in the irradiation direction F.

  Thus, the irradiation light emitted from the lens 30 and traveling in the irradiation direction F passes through the internal space covered by the light shielding member of the float frame 54 and is irradiated from the irradiation port 56 to the skin, and the irradiation light travels in the traveling direction. Is irradiated from the irradiation direction F to the portion of the skin facing the irradiation port 56 through the irradiation port 56 and the translucent member 57.

  In addition, the float freely means that the float frame 54 is slidable along the irradiation direction F with respect to the cover 48 portion, and the float frame 54 is directed toward the skin side which is the distal end side in the irradiation direction F. The elastic body 62 is urged by the cover member 49 and is supported by the cover member 49.

  Specifically, on the outer surface of the cylinder of the float frame 54, a slide guide 59 that slides the float frame 54 relative to the cover member 49, a locking projection 60 that locks the slide, and an elastic force that biases in the irradiation direction F. A body 62 and a support protrusion 61 that prevents the cover 62 from coming off from the cover member 49 by the elastic biasing are provided. Therefore, when the contact portion 55 of the float frame 54 is pressed against the skin during the light irradiation, the float frame 54 sinks while sliding inside the cover member 49 in the direction opposite to the irradiation direction F against the bias of the elastic body 62. It is to include.

  As described above, the float frame 54 is formed of a light shielding member and is freely floatable to the cover member 49, so that the skin and the float frame 54 are in elastic contact with each other at the time of irradiation, thereby suppressing the generation of pain due to pressing and the skin. The float frame 54 can be closely attached to. Therefore, even if a part of the irradiation light is reflected by the skin, it is prevented from leaking outward by the float frame 54, and the danger that the irradiation light enters the eyes can be surely prevented, and the safety is high. It has become.

  Since the translucent member 57 is disposed at the irradiation port 56, the skin does not enter the inner peripheral side of the float frame 54 and contact the lens 30 when the float frame 54 comes into contact with the skin. Thus, it is possible to surely prevent the danger of burns coming into contact with the lens 30. The lock protrusion is switched between the locked state and the unlocked state by sliding the operation knob 53 provided on the outer surface of the cover member 49 in a direction orthogonal to the irradiation direction F that is the sliding direction of the float frame 54. It has become a thing.

  Further, a pressing protrusion 63 is provided so as to protrude in the direction opposite to the irradiation direction F at an end portion forming the other opening located inside the cover member 49 of the float frame 54. The pressing protrusion 63 presses the pressing piece 13 of the light emitting switch 11 in the direction opposite to the irradiation direction F and causes the pressing piece 13 to press the switch portion 12.

  That is, the float frame 54 sinks inside the cover 48 at the time of skin contact, so that the pressing protrusion 63 pushes the pressing piece 13 into the inside of the main body 1 against the urging force of the elastic body 14 of the light emitting switch 11, The switch portion 12 pressed by the piece 13 is turned on and outputs an electrical signal. At this time, since the pressing of the switch portion 12 by the pressing protrusion 63 is continued while the float frame 54 is in contact with the skin, the light emitting switch 11 continues to output an electric signal during skin contact. ing.

  Thus, the float frame 54 is configured to turn on the light emission switch 11 by sliding, so that the float frame 54 is brought into contact with and pressed against the skin, and maintaining the pressed state causes the light source 33 to emit light. It becomes a condition, and when the light source 33 emits light, the float frame 54 and the skin can be reliably adhered. Since the float frame 54 is in close contact with the skin at the time of light irradiation, it does not leak to the outer periphery of the float frame 54 even if the light irradiated on the skin is reflected or diffused, and the safety is high.

  In addition to the above irradiation unit 22, the light irradiation type beauty apparatus of this example has two replacement irradiation units 23b having different wavelengths of irradiation light, and any of the irradiation units 22 is attached to the main body 1. This makes it possible to change the photocosmetic effect applied to the skin. For convenience, the irradiation unit 22 described above is described as a main irradiation unit 23a to be distinguished from the replacement irradiation unit 23b, and only the difference between the main irradiation unit 23a and the replacement irradiation unit 23b will be described below. .

  The main irradiation unit 23a is for hair removal (hair suppression) that suppresses hair growth by light irradiation, and one of the irradiation units 23b for replacement is for stain care that promotes the discharge of pigments such as melanin. The other is for acne care that kills causative bacteria such as acne. Since the replacement irradiation unit 23b is used for spot care or acne care where the cheeks near the eyes and lips are irradiated with light, unlike the main irradiation unit 23a, the lens surface 31 is narrowed to emit light. This prevents damage to the retina of the eye and the mucous membrane in the oral cavity.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the lens 30 is smaller than the main irradiation unit 23 a, the frame member 43 of the base 40 covers the outer periphery of the lens 30, and the lens 30 is attached to the unit case 24 via the frame member 43. It is held fixed. For this reason, even if the float frame 54 is brought into contact with the vicinity of the eyes and lips, it can be separated from the eyes and lips by the thickness of the unit case 24 and the frame member 43 from the irradiated area where the irradiated light hits. Is prevented from being irradiated with irradiation light. That is, the replacement irradiation unit 23b is an irradiation unit 22 specialized for use on the face of a living body.

  The replacement irradiation unit 23b uses a halogen lamp 34b as the light source 33, and the irradiation light has a wider wavelength range on the ultraviolet side than the main irradiation unit 23a and has a luminance higher than that of the xenon tube 34a. . The above difference between the wavelength ranges of the xenon tube 34a and the halogen lamp 34b is merely an example, and the wavelength ranges of the xenon tube 34a and the halogen lamp 34b do not overlap each other, or the halogen lamp 34b has a wide wavelength range on the near infrared light side. It is also possible that the region is set in accordance with the photocosmetic effect for each irradiation unit 22 and has a difference in wavelength range from the other irradiation units 22.

  Further, unlike the irradiation unit 22 for acne care, the irradiation unit 22 for spot care also serves as an optical filter 58 in which the lens 30 absorbs light of a certain wavelength and does not transmit light, and the halogen lamp 34b emits light. Light in a wavelength range that causes pain in the skin from light is blocked, and light of the remaining wavelengths is guided to the irradiation port 56. For this reason, the irradiation unit 22 emits irradiation light in a narrower wavelength range than the irradiation unit 22 for acne care, and does not cause pain in the skin during spot care.

  Thus, the wavelength of the irradiation light irradiated on the skin can be replaced by replacing the irradiation unit 22 to be mounted on the main body 1 by replacing the irradiation unit 22 that irradiates the irradiation light with different wavelengths. Can be changed. That is, it is a light irradiation type beauty device that is easy to use and can provide a plurality of light beauty effects from a single body 1 by simply replacing the irradiation unit 22. In particular, since a tool is not required for attaching and detaching the irradiation unit 22, even an amateur who is not familiar with the use of the light irradiation type beauty device can easily change the type of the photo beauty effect to be applied to the skin by light irradiation. It is possible to do.

  Further, since the members forming the appearance such as the unit case 24 and the unit side connector 27 of each irradiation unit 22 are common, the shape of the mounting portion 18 is changed for the irradiation unit 23b for replacement, or a new holding means is provided. There is no need to add. That is, a decrease in productivity due to a difference in assembly procedure at the time of production due to an increase in the number of components and a difference in shape is prevented, and an increase in cost due to the production of the plurality of irradiation units 22 is suppressed. In particular, since the replacement irradiation unit 23b has substantially the same shape, the production cost can be further reduced.

  The replacement irradiation unit 23b is different from the main irradiation unit 23a in the size of the light source 33 and the lens 30, and the main irradiation unit 23a can be replaced by simply looking into the lens 30 from the size of the lens surface 31 and the shape of the light source 33. It is possible to determine whether the irradiation unit 23b is used. Also, since one of the replacement irradiation units 23b has the optical filter 58, it is possible to determine which replacement irradiation unit 23b from the color of the lens 30 by using a colored one for the optical filter 58. It has become.

  Note that the replacement irradiation unit 23b is not limited to two for acne care and stains, but may be other photocosmetic / barber irradiation units 22 such as hair removal and stain care in a short period of time. Of course, not only for the face, but also the lens surface 31 may be formed into a substantially elliptical shape or a circular shape for removing or reducing moles. In addition, it may be larger than the lens surface 31 of the main irradiation unit 23a. At this time, since the replacement irradiation unit 23b having a large lens surface 31 does not hinder the slide operation of the float frame 54, the cover 48 is also provided with the irradiation port 56. It is preferable to replace it with a larger one.

  Furthermore, each irradiation unit 22 is different in the shape, position, number, etc. of the projections 25 of the detection projections 25, and the type of the irradiation unit 22 mounted on the main body 1 is determined from the detection signal of the unit detection unit 20 as a circuit board. 4 can be easily determined. Therefore, the control unit performs light emission control for adjusting the light emission amount, the light emission time, the light emission condition, and the like of the light source 33 according to the light cosmetic effect for each irradiation unit 22 to further improve the photo cosmetic effect by the light irradiation, and safety. And usability has been improved. In particular, when the light source 33 uses a halogen lamp 34b, there is a case in which the light emission control is continued for a certain period of time instead of the flash light emission. The circuit board 4 may be switchable so that power can be supplied to the unit 22.

  If the wavelength range to be blocked for each optical filter 58 is changed, it is possible to have three or more replacement irradiation units 23b, as well as an optical filter 58 provided for the light source 33 using the xenon tube 34a. Also good. If the wavelength of the light emitted from the light source 33 is different, the wavelength range blocked by the optical filter 58 may be the same. The lens 30 may be disposed as a separate member between the reflector 37 and the lens 30 without serving as the optical filter 58. The optical filter 58 is provided in the irradiation unit 22 and the light source 33 emits light. What is necessary is just to block the light of a part of wavelength from the light.

  A plurality of covers 48 are also provided as replacement covers 48 for changing the wavelength of irradiation light. In the replacement cover 48, as shown in FIG. 8, the translucent member 57 of the float frame 54 is not in the form of a lattice, but is a plane that covers the entire opening of the irradiation port 56, and the translucent member 57 is partially This is an optical filter 58 that blocks light having a wavelength of. That is, the wavelength of light that can be transmitted through the translucent member 57 is different for each replacement cover 48, and the wavelength of light that is applied to the skin from the irradiation port 56 depends on the cover 48 that is attached to the main body 1. It is different.

  Therefore, the photocosmetic effect can be changed by replacing the cover 48 attached to the main body 1. In particular, since no tool is required to attach and detach the cover 48, the cover 48 can be easily replaced, and the light irradiation type beauty device is easy to use. Since the shape of the translucent member 57 is different between the cover 48 having the optical filter 58 and the cover 48 not having the optical filter 58, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the cover 48 blocks a part of light. is there. Furthermore, it is preferable to use a colored optical filter 58 because the cover 48 provided with the optical filter 58 can be distinguished by the color of each optical filter 58.

  Of course, the wavelength of the irradiation light may be adjusted by further subdividing the above-described replacement of the irradiation unit 22 and the replacement of the cover 48 described above.
