FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a portable beauty machine according to the present invention mounted on a cradle.

1 and 2, a portable beauty machine according to the present invention includes a main body 100 having a skin contact portion 110, a cold operating portion 44 installed inside the main body 100, A temperature control unit 60 mounted on a lower portion of the operation unit 44 and controlling the temperature inside the main body 100, a plurality of air inflow holes 128 through which air flows into the main body 100, And a bottom surface 120 formed with a plurality of air discharge holes 127 for discharging air from the inside to the outside of the main body 100. The bottom surface 120 of the main body 100 is mounted on the mount 130 .

The main body 100 is used as a handle portion of a user, and the skin contact portion 110 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. On one side of the main body 100, for example, a red hot state and a blue cold state (Not shown) in which the LEDs are lit so that the LEDs can be distinguished.

The thermally conductive member 47 functioning as the skin contact portion 110 functions as a heat or a cold heat according to the direction of the applied current of the power supply terminal applied to the thermoelectric element 48.

The material of the thermal conductivity applied to the present invention is thermally conductive in the order of graphene, titanium and ceramics. However, in the present invention, since the heat conductive member 47 has a function of performing the heat accumulation function with the skin contact portion 110, And is made of titanium or ceramics which is harmless and has a high thermal conductivity, so that the skin contact portion 110 and the heat storage function are simultaneously performed.

 The heat storage element 49 is mounted on the rear surface of the thermoelectric element 48. The thermoelectric element 48 is made of graphene, titanium or ceramics with high thermal conductivity, This is possible.

Accordingly, when a current is applied to the thermoelectric element 48, the thermoelectric element 47 transmits cold or hot heat in response to the heat or cold stored in the heat accumulating member 49, so that the efficiency of the cold / hot function can be increased.

Accordingly, the present invention eliminates the need for a regenerating solution for realizing cold and other cosmetic functions, and enables a low-power design, thereby eliminating risk factors such as breakdown, short-circuit, and explosion due to leakage or moisture.

The thermal conductivities of graphene, titanium, and ceramics applied to the present invention are shown in Table 1 below.
