Description

MECHANICAL SKIN RESTRUCTURING DEVICE FOR MULTIPLE MODE

The present invention relates to an apparatus for restructuring skin in multiple modes. In more particular, the present invention relates to an apparatus for restructuring skin in multiple modes, which can be used for various purposes by operating at various speeds according to the multiple modes.

In general, when skin is burned, a scar is left. The reason why the scar is left is that collagen is disorderly destructed so that the skin loses the uniform color or texture thereof. Accordingly, the skin does not seem to be in a good condition.

Therefore, in order to remove the scar, the collagen, which has been disorderly destructed, must be regenerated by organizing the collagen so that the skin has the uniform color or texture thereof.

In order to regenerate the collagen, which has been disorderly destructed, in such a manner that the collagen is reorganized, the collagen must be cut and recovered again.

In order to cut the collagen, conical holes are formed in the skin by using a needle having a diameter of 0.05 mm to 0.1 mm, thereby cutting collagen fiber. The holes induce the rearrangement of a dermal tissue that is deformed abnormally, and promote the natural regeneration of the collagen between a dermal layer and the basal layer, so that the damaged collagen tissue is recovered into normal fibrous tissue.

The procedure of healing burn has been introduced into a beauty field due to the nature of a person to pursue beauty.

However, a medial field aiming at curing the burn does not require various speeds of a needle. In contrast, the beauty field applied to various purposes resulting from various causes requires various modes to optimize the speed of the needle.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the apparatus for restructuring skin in multiple modes according to one embodiment of the present invention; and

FIG. 3 is a detailed sectional view showing a needle module in the apparatus for restructuring skin in multiple modes according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, an apparatus for restructuring a skin in multiple modes will be described with reference to accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the apparatus for restructuring the skin in multiple modes includes a body 10, a driving motor 20 installed at an upper portion the body 10, a control unit (not shown) to control the driving motor 20, an eccentric shaft 30 provided eccentrically with a rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20, an elevating part 50 moving up and down as the eccentric shaft 30 rotates, and a needle module 60 attached to the elevating part 50.

The body 10 is extended lengthwise thereof, and a lower portion of the body 10 must be open to expose the needle module 60. The lower portion of the body 10 is provided with a socket 14 used to fix the needle module 60 onto the body 10.

The driving motor 20 is installed at an internal upper portion of the body 10 to provide a rotational force. The rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20 is preferably installed perpendicularly to an extension direction of the body 10. The driving motor 20 preferably includes a control unit to control the period and the RPM (Revolution per Minute) of the driving motor 20 if necessary. In this case, the control unit controls the operation of the driving motor 20 for each mode according to a preset program. In addition, an interface part 40 used to input the mode into the control unit is additionally provided at the lower portion of the body 10.

The control unit controls the RPM of the driving motor 20 according to the mode input to the interface part 40. The control unit preferably includes an inverter to control the RPM of the driving motor 20.

The eccentric shaft 30 is provided eccentrically with the rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20. The eccentric shaft 30 has one side engaged with the rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20 and at the other side provided with a support shaft 32 rotating concentrically with the rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20. The rotational shaft 22 of the driving motor 20 and the support shaft 32 are shaft-supported by bearings 34, respectively.

The elevating part 50 moves up and down lengthwise along the body 10. The elevating part 50 is provided at an upper portion thereof with a through hole 52 into which the eccentric shaft 30 is fitted. Accordingly, as the driving motor 20 rotates, the eccentric shaft 30 rotates. In addition, as the eccentric shaft 30 rotates, the elevating part 50 moves up and down. The elevating part 50 has a recess part 54 provided in an outer portion thereof, and the body 10 is provided thereon with a protrusion 18 inserted into the recess part 54, thereby restricting the movement of the elevating part 50. Therefore, if necessary, the operating range of the elevating part 50 can be restricted by shifting the position of the recess part 54 or the protrusion part 18. In addition, the elevating part 50 is provided at a middle portion thereof with a packing 55 having a disc shape to prevent the elevating part 50 from being shaken. In addition, a metallic insert 56 serving as a magnetic substance has been inserted into the upper portion of the elevating part 50. A solenoid coil 57 is installed around the metallic insert 56 inside the body 10 to forcibly move up the elevating part 50 after the apparatus for restructuring the skin has been used. Accordingly, since the needle module 60 is not exposed out of the body 10, the needle module 60 can be safely protected.

The needle module 60 is attached to the lower portion of the elevating part 50 and needles 64 nested in the needle module 60 make contact with skin, so that a work for beauty treatment can be performed. The needle module 60 includes a cartridge 62 and the needles 64 installed in the cartridge 62. If necessary, the number and arrangement of the needles 64 may vary. The needles 64 are repeatedly introduced into the skin or withdrawn from the skin by the elevating part 50. In this case, a medicine supplying unit is installed in the cartridge 62.

The medicine supplying unit includes a medicine storing space 66 formed in the cartridge 62 and an injection port 68 provided at one side of the medicine storing space 66 while communicating with the medicine storing space 66. In this case, a cap 69 is provided with the injection port 68 to prevent medicine from flowing down. In addition, a hole 67 is provided at the front portion of the cartridge 62 so that the needles 64 are nested in the hole 67, and communicates with the medicine storing space 66. In addition, the hole 67 for the needles 64 has tolerance to the extent that medicine can be transferred along the needles 64 due to the vibration of the needle module 60. A protrusion 70 is preferably provided on the front portion of the cartridge 62 in which the needles 64 are nested, so that medicine can be infiltrated to the depth of the skin.

Modes, which may be input to the interface part 40, include a skin care mode, a hair care mode, a tattoo mode, an eye-line mode, and a lip mode. In addition to the modes, different modes may be naturally set if necessary.

The skin care mode refers to a mode to brighten a skin tone or improve the elasticity of the skin by regenerating the collagen of the skin. In the skin care mode, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm to 65000 rpm. If the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm or less, the needles 64 strike holes of the skin, which have been formed due to the strike of the needles 64, again when the holes of the skin are temporarily dwindled in size after the holes of the skin has been expanded. Accordingly, the needles 64 cause the friction with the skin, thereby causing damage to the skin. If the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 6500 rpm or more, the holes of the skin, which have been formed due to the strike of the needles 64, are perpetuated, so that the pores may be excessively expanded. Accordingly, when the skin care mode is input into the interface part 40, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm to 6500 rpm. In addition, more preferably, in order to more improve a whitening function, valuable components can be infiltrated to the depth of the skin by using cosmetics dedicated for whitening.

Next, in the hair care mode, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 3500 rpm to 4500 rpm so that hair roots are stimulated to allow hair to come out. In this case, if the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 3500 rpm or less, the hair roots cannot be stimulated due to a scalp. If the driving motor 20 is rotated at 4500 rpm or more, the scalp is damaged to bleed. Therefore, when the hair care mode is input to the interface part 40, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 3500 rpm to 4500rpm.

Next, in the tattoo mode, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 6500 rpm to 7500 rpm which is the fastest speed range so that a body can be rapidly and easily tattooed. In this case, when the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 6500 rpm or less, the tattoo work may be slowly carried out. When the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of about 7500 rpm or more, damage may be caused to the skin. Accordingly, when the tattoo mode is input into the interface part 40, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 6500 rpm to 7500 rpm. In this case, color pigments are supplied to the needle module 60, so that desirable colors can be realized.

Next, the eye-line mode refers to a mode to imprint tattoos on the edge of an eyelid having thin skin. In the eye-line mode, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm to 6500 rpm, so that an eye-line tattooed on the edge of the eyelid is not disconnected or a discontinuous surface does not occur on the edge of the eyelid. In this case, when the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm or less, the discontinuous surface is made on the eye-line. When the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of about 6500 rpm or more, a worker to imprint the eye-line may be shaken due to the frictional resistance to make a mistake, and may pressurize the apparatus for restructuring the skin in order to prevent the mistake, thereby causing injure to the body. Therefore, when the eye-line mode is input to the interface part 40, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 5500 rpm to 6500 rpm. In this case, black-based pigments suitable for the eye-line are preferably supplied to the needle module 60, so that desirable colors can be realized.

Then, the lip mode refers to a mode in which a user has an effect of applying color to the lips of the user without using a lipstick every day. In this lip mode, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 4000 rpm to 5000 rpm so that the color is not applied beyond a preset boundary surface of the lips of the user. In this case, when the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 4000 rpm or less, the infiltration of pigments is weakened, so that the effect of tattoo is less made. When the driving motor 20 is rotated at the rate of 5000 rpm or more, the worker is shaken to cause injure to the body of a user to be tattooed. In this case, if the mouth inside lips is injured, the injury of the mouth is not readily healed. Therefore, the worker performs the tattoo work by more reducing the speed of the driving motor 20 in the lip mode as compared with another mode. Therefore, when the lip mode is input to the interface part 40, the driving motor 20 is preferably rotated at the rate of 4000 rpm to 5000 rpm. In this case, preferably, red-based pigments suitable for lips are preferably supplied to the needle module 60, so that desirable colors can be realized.

Although a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
