FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a composite skin care device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a management body (100), an electrode portion (200), and a mounting portion (500) in a composite skin care device according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a plurality of detachable bodies (510) of a mounting portion (500) in a composite skin care device according to a second embodiment of the present invention are coupled adjacent to each other and a management body (100) is fitted and coupled to each detachable body (510).

Referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, a composite skin care device according to a second embodiment of the present invention is an embodiment in which a mounting portion (500) on which a management body (100) is mounted on the outside of a controller (300) is further provided in the composite skin care device according to the first embodiment of the present invention, which will be described in more detail as follows.

The mounting portion (500) basically includes a mounting projection (520) that is formed protruding from the outside of the controller (300) or a separate detachable body (510) so that the management body (100) can be mounted by being fitted into a finger receiving portion of the management body (100) into which a finger is fitted. In the case where the mounting projection (520) is formed on a detachable body (510) separate from the controller (300), it is preferable that the detachable body (510) be detachably connected to the controller (300).

In addition, if the mounting part (500) includes at least one detachable body (510) in which a mounting projection (520) is protrudingly formed, each detachable body (510) is provided with a first side coupling part (560) to be coupled with the other side of another detachable body (510) arranged side by side adjacent to one side on one side, and a second side coupling part is provided to be coupled with the first side coupling part (560) provided on one side of another detachable body (510) arranged side by side adjacent to the other side on the other side, so that the plurality of detachable bodies (510) can be configured so that the user can simultaneously operate the plurality of management bodies (100) by fitting the management bodies (100) into each detachable body (510) and mounting them while being mutually adjacent and side by side by the first side coupling part (560) and the second side coupling part (570). In this case, the plurality of Since the electrode parts (200) provided on each management body (100) are arranged adjacent to each other, when a wider area is to be managed simultaneously by a plurality of electrode parts (200) arranged adjacently, the user can selectively attach the required number of detachable bodies (510) and selectively adjust the management area to be managed simultaneously by inserting the management body (100) into the detachable body (510). In other words, the area to be managed simultaneously by contacting the skin can be selectively increased or decreased, thereby improving usability.

Meanwhile, the mounting projection (520) of the mounting part (500) may be configured to include a first projection (521) that protrudes outwardly from the detachable body (510), a second projection (522) that protrudes toward the detachable body (510) while having one end connected to the protruding end of the first projection (521) but spaced apart from the first projection (521), and an operating part (523) provided on the other end of the second projection (522) so that the distance between the second projection (522) and the first projection (521) can be reduced by the user's manipulation. In this case, when the mounting projection (520) is inserted into the part where the finger is inserted into the management body (100), the distance between the first projection (521) and the second projection (522) is reduced by the external force applied by the user, so that the mounting projection (520) can be easily inserted. After being inserted, as the external force applied by the user is released, the second protrusion (522) is elastically restored, and the distance between the first protrusion (521) and the second protrusion (522) is restored, so that the inner surface of the finger receiving portion in which the finger is inserted in the management body (100) is contacted by the first protrusion (521) and the second protrusion (522) and a pushing force is applied, so that the inserted state can be maintained stably.

Meanwhile, the mounting portion (500) may be configured to include at least one detachable body (510) having a mounting projection (520) protruding so that the management body (100) can be detachably mounted and mounted, a coupling projection (530) protrudingly formed on the outer surface of the controller (300), and an insertion hole (540) formed through which the coupling projection (530) is inserted into the detachable body (510). In this case, when not in use (during storage), the detachable body (510) may be stored by being coupled to the outside of the controller (300) by the insertion hole (540) and the coupling projection (530). In addition, when a plurality of management bodies (100) are to be operated and used at the same time, the user's finger may be inserted into the insertion hole (540) so that the user can easily grasp and operate the detachable body (510) by hand.

At this time, the mounting portion (500) may further include an anti-twist portion (550) that is formed to extend from the insertion hole (540) formed through the detachable body (510) toward the outer side of the detachable body (510) so that the outside of the detachable body (510) and the insertion hole (540) are in communication, thereby allowing the insertion hole (540) connection portion (400) to be placed in the inner space of the insertion hole (540) from the outside of the detachable body (510), so that the connection portion (400) that allows the management body (100) corresponding to each detachable body (510) to be connected to the controller (300) can be positioned on the insertion hole (540), thereby preventing twisting between the plurality of connection portions (400) that connect the controller (300) and the management body (100).

Meanwhile, the mounting part (500) further includes an operating body that is provided to move inwardly of the engaging protrusion (530) by being pressed by the inner surface of the engaging hole (540) as the engaging hole (540) is engaged with the outer surface of the engaging protrusion (530), and a coupling detection part (not shown) that detects whether the detachable body (510) and engaging protrusion (530) are engaged according to the movement position of the operating body, so that the control part can be configured to control whether the electrode part (200) provided in the operating body corresponding to each detachable body (510) is operated according to the engagement of the coupling detection part.

More specifically, when each management body (100) is configured to be connected to the controller (300) by a separate connection part (400), a coupling protrusion (530) is provided at a position corresponding to the position at which each management body (100) is connected to the controller (300), and a detachable body (510) on which the corresponding management body (100) is mounted is coupled, so that the corresponding management body (100) can be individually controlled to be operated by a signal from a coupling detection part provided on the coupling protrusion (530) provided at a position corresponding to each management body (100).

At this time, the operating body may be formed with a curved surface so that the end protruding outward from the coupling projection (530) is easily pressed by the inner surface of the fitting, or the end of the operating body may be formed to be inclined or curved outward from top to bottom, so that the operating body is mounted in a state where a force is applied to push outward from the coupling projection (530) by an elastic member provided inside the coupling projection (530), and as the detachable body (510) moves from top to bottom and is combined with the coupling projection (530), a force is gradually applied to pressurize the operating body inward.

In addition, the coupling detection unit may be configured to detect coupling by, for example, detecting the presence of coupling by pressure applied as the operating body is pressed and moves inwardly of the coupling protrusion (530), or, as another example, detecting the presence of coupling by detecting contact or non-contact between the inner end of the operating body and an electrode provided inside the coupling protrusion (530) by pressure, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications may be implemented as long as it is configured to detect the presence of coupling by detecting movement of the operating body inwardly or outwardly of the coupling protrusion (530).
