Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable the irradiation of infrared rays over a wider area in comparison with the length of a heater by eccentrically and reciprocatingly rotating the heater and a reflector to irradiate with infrared rays and, in addition, to enable uniform irradiation by partially increasing the amount of the irradiation of infrared rays. CONSTITUTION: A heater 14 and reflector 15 eccentrically rotate around a hollow shaft 6 as its center. During this time, the heater 14 heats the areas B to C of hair at a location of a solid line and the area D to E at the location of a phantom line. Therefore, the areas B to E are heated all the time, but the areas D to B and E to C are low in a temperature rise. Coping therewith, a heating line 16 housed in the heater 14 is arranged to be coarse at a location close to a rotating blanket 12 and to be tight at a location far from it. In addition, as the heater 14 irradiates with infrared rays while rotating, it is capable of irradiating without irregularities even when screened at a certain location.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention is used in hairdressing and cosmetology to dry hair during hair washing, accelerate hair dyeing, make hair permanent, wave hair, etc. The present invention relates to a hair treatment accelerator that heats hair.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of hair treatment accelerating device using infrared rays, a heating wire such as a nichrome wire that generates heat when energized is housed in a tube made of quartz glass, ceramic, etc., and the heat generated causes the tube to irradiate infrared rays. By applying this infrared rays to the hair, hair treatment is promoted.

The linear, elongated tube (hereinafter referred to as a heater) that irradiates this infrared ray is formed in a straight line, and a reflector with an arcuate cross section is attached to the back of the heater in order to increase the efficiency of infrared ray irradiation.

In addition, multiple infrared tubes are installed on the side of the head, on the top of the head, on the bottom back of the head, etc. so that infrared rays are evenly irradiated over the entire surface of the hair, including the sides, the back of the head, and the top of the head. .

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

In such a hair treatment promoting device, a large number of infrared tubes are installed so as to surround the hair, so the installation volume is large, and there may not be enough space to install it in a small hair salon.

Furthermore, since the heater is formed in a straight line even though the whole surface of the hair has a curved surface, there are parts of the infrared tube close to the hair and parts far from the hair, which causes the intensity of the infrared rays to be irradiated to the hair and changes the temperature. The distribution becomes less -like.

Therefore, in areas where the temperature rises significantly, the person being treated becomes unable to withstand the heat, and there is a drawback that treatment cannot be promoted uniformly on all the hair in a short period of time.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the conventional hair treatment accelerating device using infrared irradiation, the present invention makes a heater rotate around the center of rotation of a rotary body, and has a large area compared to the size of the heater. In addition to making it possible to irradiate infrared rays on the surface of the heater and make it more compact, uniform irradiation can be achieved by increasing the amount of infrared rays emitted in the part of the heater that corresponds to the part where the irradiation time of infrared rays is shortened due to its rotational movement. The purpose is to make people feel more comfortable.

The means includes a rotating body rotatably supported on a shaft and rotated by the driving means, a reflector attached to the rotating body and reflecting infrared rays emitted from the heater, and attached to the reflector, In a portion away from the center of rotation of the rotating body, hair treatment is performed by a hair treatment accelerator equipped with a heater that increases the amount of infrared rays irradiated.

[For production]

The hair treatment promoting device of the present invention rotates the rotating body using the driving means, rotates the heater and the reflector around the center of rotation, and irradiates an area wider than the size of the heater with infrared rays.

Then, due to this rotation, the heater and reflector pass through that part, which shortens the irradiation time of infrared rays.In that part of the heater, the amount of infrared rays radiated is increased to promote uniform infrared processing. This is to ensure that this is carried out.

〔Example〕

Next, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an elevating rod that is raised and lowered according to the height of the practitioner's head, and a main body case 2 is fixed to the upper end of the elevating rod.

The main body case 2 includes a motor 3, a reduction gear 4 driven by the motor 3, a transmission gear 5 that meshes with the reduction gear 4, and a hollow space that meshes with the transmission gear 5 and is supported by the main body case 2. A gear 7 and the like loosely fitted onto the shaft 6 are housed therein.

A magnet 8 is fixed to this gear 7, and a magnet 9 is also fixed to the hollow shaft 6 opposite to this magnet 8.

Therefore, when the motor 3 rotates, its rotation is decelerated and transmitted from the reduction gear 4 to the gear 7 via the transmission gear 5.
The hollow shaft 6 is driven by the attraction force of the magnets 8 and 9 and rotates.

However, when a force is applied to the hollow shaft 6 to prevent its rotation, the magnet 9 slips against the magnet 8 against the attraction force of the magnets 8 and 9, and the rotation is not transmitted to the hollow shaft 6. It disappears.

A fixed side power feeder 10 and a rotating side power feeder 11 are attached to the hollow shaft 6, and wiring from a power source is connected to the fixed side power feeder 10, so that even if the hollow shaft 6 rotates, the fixed side power feeder 10 is connected to the fixed side power feeder 10. does not rotate.

The rotating side power supply 11 rotates together with the hollow shaft 6, and can receive power from a power source connected to the fixed side power supply 10.

Further, the hollow shaft 6 is provided with a fixed side power feeder 10 and a rotating side power feeder 1.
A rotating bracket 12 is fixed so as to cover the rotary bracket 1, and a reflector 15 supporting a ring-shaped heater 14 is attached to the arm 13 of the rotating bracket 12 so as to be able to change its attachment angle.

This heater 14 has a heating wire 16 such as a nichrome wire housed in an elongated tube made of quartz glass, ceramic, etc., and is connected to the rotation-side power supply 11.

By applying electricity to this heating wire 16 and heating it, the elongated tube made of quartz glass or ceramic becomes red hot, emitting infrared rays and far infrared rays, and further reflecting this infrared rays by the reflector 15,
The light is irradiated intensively toward the surface opposite to the reflector 15.

Therefore, the reflective surface 15a of the reflector 15 is an arcuate surface as shown in FIG. 1, and the heating wire 16 housed in the heater 14 is wound loosely and densely as shown in FIG. The reflector 15 is supported such that the loosely wound portion is close to the rotating bracket 12 and the tightly wound portion is located away from the rotating bracket 12.

Further, a non-contact type thermometer 17 is attached to the surface of the main body case 2 on the side of the heater 14, which measures the temperature of the heated object based on the amount of infrared rays reflected from the surface of the heated object.

Next, the method of use and operation of this hair treatment accelerator will be explained.

First, the lifting rod 1 is set up and down so that the heater 14 is at the height shown in FIG. 1 relative to the hair A of the hair A of the person to be treated, and then the motor 3 and the heater 14 are energized.

Then, the rotation of the motor 3 is transmitted to the hollow shaft 6 at a reduced speed as described above, and therefore the heater 14 and the reflector 15 perform eccentric rotational movement around the hollow shaft 6, so that the rotation is shifted from the position of the solid line in FIG. Rotate so as to pass through the position of the imaginary line and return to the position of the solid line.

During this time, the heater 14 is energized to emit infrared rays toward the hair, and when it is at the position of the solid line in FIG. -E
This will heat the area.

Therefore, the range B-E is constantly heated, but the range D-B
, E-C are heated or not heated by the rotation of the heater 14, and the temperature rise is lower than that in B-E.

Therefore, in order to make the temperature rise in the whole area -like, B-E
It is necessary to irradiate the infrared rays weakly at the part , and then more strongly as you reach the parts D and E.
The coarseness and density of the windings in Step 6 are adjusted so that the temperature of the entire hair rises in a similar manner.

In addition, since the heater 14 irradiates infrared rays while rotating in this way, even parts of the hair that are in the shadow at the position of the heater 14 and are not irradiated with infrared rays are now irradiated by the movement of the heater 14. , it is possible to irradiate infrared rays evenly.

Since the temperature of the hair is measured with the non-contact thermometer 17, the recipient does not suffer pain due to fixation of the head, and damage to the hair due to excessive heating can be prevented.

It is also possible to detect a movement in the position of the patient's head due to a sudden rise or fall in temperature, etc. In this case, the patient is notified of this by flashing lights, a buzzer, etc., and the position of the patient's head is detected. It is also possible to instruct it to return.

Furthermore, when the rotation load increases, such as when the heater 14 and reflector 15 come into contact with a wall during rotation, a slip phenomenon occurs between the magnets 8 and 9, and the hollow shaft 6 stops rotating.
Accidents such as malfunctions and damage to walls can be prevented.

In this way, by rotating the heater 14 and the reflector 15, infrared rays can be irradiated over a wider area than the area thereof, so that the size of these elements can be reduced compared to the conventional one, making it possible to make it more compact.

4 and 5, this embodiment has a semi-circular shape instead of the ring shape of the heater 14 and counterfeit device 15 in the previous embodiment. There is no difference from the previous embodiment, and the same effects as the previous embodiment are produced.

The hollow shaft 6 is capable of ejecting ultrasonic spray from the hollow portion and exerting an effect as a steamer by heating the heater 14.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention irradiates infrared rays while rotating the heater and the reflector, such as eccentric rotational movement or reciprocating rotational movement, as shown above, so that the area is larger than the size of the heater and reflector. It can emit infrared rays.

Therefore, the heater and reflector can be made smaller compared to conventional hair treatment accelerators, making it more compact and occupying less floor space, thereby increasing the effective floor space of hair salons. can.

Furthermore, the heating wire inside the heater can be wound tightly to reduce the temperature of the areas that the heater passes through through its rotation, and where the temperature rise is lower than other areas due to the shorter irradiation of infrared rays. By increasing the amount of infrared rays irradiated to the area, it is possible to raise the temperature almost uniformly.

Furthermore, since the direction of irradiation of infrared rays changes by the rotational operation of the heater, it is possible to irradiate infrared rays to a portion that was in the shadow, and there are effects such as being able to eliminate uneven irradiation of infrared rays.
