RU2562507C2 - Thermoelectric device for cosmetic procedures on individual's face - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: thermoelectric device for cosmetic procedures on an individual's face comprises a heat contact plate, a heat removal system and thermoelectric cells connected to a controllable DC power supply. The heat contact plate is configured as a flexible support made of a highly heat-conductive material in the form of a mask imitating the individual's face contours with openings for the eyes, nose and mouth. Side projections of the support are turned at 90° to the support and coupled with exposing junctions of the thermoelectric cells with providing a firm thermal contact. Bearing junctions of the thermoelectric cells contact an air cooler. The surface of the support has a thin silicone layer. The support is equipped with a fastener to be firmly fixed on the individual's face.

EFFECT: using the invention is expected to provide thermal exposure on the whole face simultaneously.

Description

The invention relates to medicine and is intended for cosmetic procedures.

The prototype of the invention is the device described in [1]. The device contains a massage unit, including a housing in which a heat-contact plate, a heat removal system and thermoelements (TE) are installed, and means for cooling or heating the heat-contact plate, including a direct current source connected via a switching element to the thermocouples. The device is equipped with an automatic contrast thermal cycling unit located between the direct current source and the switching element, a holder with an opening for the massage block, and elements for pressing the heat-contact plate to the skin interacting with the holder.

The disadvantage of this device is the impossibility of simultaneous thermal effects on the entire surface of a person’s face.

The aim of the invention is to enable simultaneous thermal effects on the entire surface of a person’s face.

The goal is achieved in that the heat-contact plate is made in the form of a flexible base of highly heat-conducting material, having the shape of a mask that follows the contours of a person’s face with holes in the eyes, nose and mouth, and the side surface of the base has protrusions bent at an angle of 90 ° to the base, conjugated providing tight thermal contact with the acting junctions of thermocouples, the supporting junctions of which are in contact with an air radiator, and on the surface of the base there is a thin silicone layer, while The device is equipped with a fastening device for tightly fixing the device on a person’s face.

The block diagram of the device is shown in FIG. one.

The device comprises a flexible base 1 of highly heat-conducting material (copper or aluminum plate), made in the form of a mask that follows the contours of a person’s face with holes 2 in the eyes, nose and mouth. The lateral surface of the base 1 has protrusions 3, bent at an angle of 90 ° to the base 1. The protrusions 3 with a tight thermal contact are connected with the acting junctions 4 of the heat cell 5. The supporting junctions 6 of the heat cell 5 are in contact with the air radiator 7. There is a thin silicone on the surface of the base 1 layer 8, which prevents mechanical damage to the skin of the face in contact with the device. TE 5 are connected by electric wires to a programmable direct current source (not shown) that implements various modes of operation of the modules (cooling, heating, their alternation). The base 1 is equipped with a mounting device 9 for tightly fixing the device on the person’s face.

The device operates as follows.

Before starting the procedure, the device is fixed on the person’s face, subject to thermal influence, ensuring tight contact due to the elastic properties of the base 1 and the presence of a fastening device 9. The procedure begins with the inclusion of a programmable power supply unit, according to a given program, supplying electric power of the required magnitude and polarity of TE 5 The dose and duration of the heat exposure are determined by the cosmetologist, and he also monitors the patient’s condition. Air radiator 7 is designed to remove excess heat from the reference junctions 6 TE 5 when cooling the face. The uniform distribution of heat along the base 1 is ensured by the high thermal conductivity of the material from which it is made.

The constructive simplicity of the device and the ability to change modes in a wide temperature range will ensure widespread use of the device in cosmetology.
