Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hair treatment for irradiating infrared rays to hair, mainly in a hairdressing salon or a barber's office, and promoting the hair treatment such as permanent, hair dyeing, drying, waving, etc. by the heating action. Related to a facilitating device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hair treatment promoting device of this type is known in which a number of heaters for irradiating infrared rays are arranged so as to surround the head of a subject. The processing acceleration device has a disadvantage that a relatively large installation space is required. Therefore, the heater is rotated around the rotating body, and a single heater irradiates a large area with infrared rays.
A device for reducing the size of a hair treatment promoting device has been proposed, for example, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-28770.

In this apparatus, a single infrared radiating section provided with a heater for irradiating infrared rays is attached to a rotating body at an angle, and the radiating surface of the infrared radiating section forms a conical surface locus whose top is the rotating body. It is rotated so as to draw, and the infrared radiation section is moved along the top, side and back of the subject's head.

[0004]

In such a hair treatment accelerating device, since a single infrared radiating portion rotates around the head of the subject while irradiating the infrared ray, the infrared ray is once emitted. Until the infrared emitting part returns to the irradiated part again,
No infrared irradiation is performed on the site. For this reason,
There is a problem that it takes time to heat the entire hair, and it is not possible to promptly promote the treatment. To address this problem, it is conceivable to increase the rotation speed of the infrared radiating section or increase the irradiation temperature by increasing the amount of infrared irradiation. Therefore, the speed cannot be increased to an appropriate speed of about three revolutions per minute. On the other hand, if the irradiation temperature is too high, there is a problem that the hair is damaged by overheating.

[0005] In hair treatment, depending on the hair style, etc., infrared rays are irradiated only to a required portion within a certain range, for example, from one temporal region to the other temporal region via the crown. In some cases, it may be necessary to partially accelerate the processing.However, in the case where a single infrared radiation section as described above rotates around the head of the subject, it may be necessary to reach a part that does not require infrared irradiation. Thus, there is a problem that infrared rays are irradiated.

Further, the upper side of the head from the frontal region to the top of the head and the rear side of the head from the top of the head to the back of the head,
Despite the fact that the lengths of the processed parts are not always the same and the rear side is often long, the rotation of a single infrared emitting part irradiates both processed parts with infrared radiation, so the upper part of the head There is a problem in that the tip of the infrared radiating portion protrudes forward on the side and the infrared ray is irradiated to the face of the subject.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and it is possible to remove the entire hair in a short time without increasing the rotation speed of an infrared irradiator or increasing the irradiation temperature. In addition to heating, rapid processing can be accelerated, and infrared rays can be irradiated only to certain areas within a certain range to partially accelerate the processing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a hair treatment accelerating device that can perform hair treatment.

According to the present invention, a support base is supported on a rotating shaft reciprocally driven by a rotating drive means,
A pair of infrared irradiators arranged in a positional relationship different from each other by approximately 180 ° are attached to the support base so as to have a substantially C shape,
A hair treatment accelerating device characterized by reciprocating the two infrared irradiation bodies at a predetermined angle.

In this configuration, when the rotary shaft is reciprocally driven to rotate by the rotary drive means, a pair of infrared irradiators attached to the support base so as to exhibit a substantially C-shape are drawn in a conical locus. Each reciprocates. here,
If the reciprocating angle of both the infrared irradiators is set to approximately 180 °, the infrared radiation is applied to the entire circumference of the head by the half rotation of each infrared irradiator. Thus, the entire hair can be heated in a short time without increasing the rotation speed or increasing the irradiation temperature.

In addition, in the above-mentioned configuration, it is possible to propose a configuration in which the amount of infrared irradiation of both infrared irradiation bodies is individually settable. With this configuration, between the two infrared irradiators, the infrared light of one of the infrared irradiators can be weakened or not irradiated at all, and the two infrared irradiators can reciprocate at a predetermined angle. Together with this, it becomes possible to effectively irradiate a required amount of infrared rays to a site requiring heating.

Further, in the above configuration, it is possible to propose a configuration in which both infrared irradiation bodies are provided with different lengths from the support base to the tip. In this configuration, unnecessary infrared irradiation on the face can be eliminated by providing a shorter infrared irradiation body that rotates on the upper side of the head from the forehead to the top of the head.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A hair treatment accelerating device 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, supports a support base 4 on a rotating shaft 3 which is reciprocally driven by a rotary driving means 2 so as to be substantially 180 °.
A pair of infrared irradiators 5a arranged in different positional relations,
The infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are reciprocally rotated at a predetermined angle by mounting the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b on the support base 4 so as to exhibit a substantially C-shape.

A specific embodiment of the hair treatment accelerating device 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. A main body case 7 is fixed to an upper end of an extendable column 6 erected on a support (not shown), and the main case 7 is moved up and down by the extension and contraction of the column 6. The height position can be adjusted accordingly.

In the main body case 7, the rotation driving means 2 is provided.
Are housed in the servo motor 8, the reduction gear 9, and the rotating shaft 3 rotatably supported by the main body case 7. The rotation of the servomotor 8 is reduced via the reduction gear 9 and transmitted to the rotating shaft 3. In addition, a torque limiter 10 is interposed between the rotating shaft 3 and the reduction gear 9, so that when an overload is applied to the rotating shaft 3, a slip occurs so that the driving force is not transmitted to the rotating shaft 3. ing.

The rotating shaft 3 is provided so as to be driven to reciprocate at a predetermined angle. As a means for controlling the reciprocating rotation of the rotating shaft 3 and the rotating angle thereof, a rotating range of the rotating shaft 3 at a predetermined angle is detected using a limit switch, a photo sensor, a potentiometer, or the like, and based on the detection signal. A method of reversibly controlling the rotation of the servo motor 8 or a method of reversibly rotating the servo motor 8 at predetermined time intervals so that the rotating shaft 3 reciprocates at a predetermined angle by timer control can be used. The rotation angle of the rotating shaft 3 is set in several steps, for example, 180 °, 135 °, 90 °, and the like, and the rotation angle can be switched through a switch operation.

A support base 4 projecting from the main body case 7 is pivotally supported at the tip of the rotating shaft 3.
A pair of infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are attached at approximately 180 ° different positions so as to exhibit a substantially C shape. The infrared irradiators 5a and 5b each include a heater 11 and a reflection plate 12 disposed on the back side of the heater 11, and these are held in a frame 13, and the overall shape thereof is It is formed in a ring shape. Each of the heaters 11 is a heater in which a heating wire such as a nichrome wire is housed in a sheath tube made of quartz glass, ceramics or the like.
1, 1 and 11, lead wires (not shown) from the body case 7 side,
Power is supplied via a power supply or the like. And the heater 1
The heating wires 1 and 11 are energized and heated to irradiate infrared rays including near-infrared rays and far-infrared rays by irradiating a sheath tube made of quartz glass, ceramics or the like. Irradiation can be performed toward the front surface of each of the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b via reflection by the infrared rays.

The two heaters 11, 11 can be individually turned on and off via switch operations, and the strength can be set to several levels during the ON operation. Thereby, the amount of infrared irradiation by both infrared irradiation bodies 5a and 5b can be individually set.

The infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are pivotally moved to the left and right sides with the pivotal reference position being the center of the set angle, with the center line position in the front-rear direction of the hair treatment promoting device 1 being the pivotal reference position. It is supposed to. Therefore, if the rotation angle is set to, for example, 180 °, one infrared irradiation body 5a reciprocates within a range of 180 ° from one temporal region of the subject to the other temporal region via the crown. The other infrared irradiator 5b reciprocates on the rear side of the head corresponding to the movement of the infrared irradiator 5a.

In such a configuration, as shown in FIG.
The infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are set at appropriate heights with respect to the head of the patient, and in this state, the servomotor 8 is driven via a switch operation.
When the heaters 11a and 11b are energized, the two infrared irradiators 5a and 5b irradiate the infrared rays, and draw a conical locus around the head of the subject while irradiating the infrared rays. Reciprocating at the appropriate speed. Here, if the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 3 is set to 180 °, each infrared irradiator 5a,
By the rotation of the half rotation of 5b, the entire circumference of the head is irradiated with infrared rays. In other words, in a conventional single infrared irradiator that rotates, the heating action is almost the same as when the rotation speed is doubled or the irradiation temperature is doubled. Thus, the entire hair can be heated in a short time without increasing the rotation speed or increasing the irradiation temperature, and the processing can be promptly accelerated. In addition, if necessary, both infrared irradiators 5a,
By making the infrared irradiation amount of 5b different, it is possible to heat the portions corresponding to the rotation ranges of the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b at different temperatures.

When partial processing is to be performed to irradiate infrared rays only to a certain area on the upper side of the head, for example, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 3 is set to the processing promoting range via a switch operation. It is set at a predetermined angle such as 180 °, 135 °, 90 ° or the like, and is set so that only the heater 11 of the upper infrared irradiator 5a is energized. At the same time, the amount of infrared irradiation by the infrared irradiation body 5a may be appropriately set. In this state, the servomotor 8 is driven and the heater 11 of the infrared irradiator 5a is energized, so that the infrared irradiator 5a on the upper side irradiates a predetermined amount of infrared rays and the set rotation angle is set. , It is possible to heat only a partial processing acceleration range at a predetermined temperature. During this time, the infrared irradiator 5b reciprocates on the rear side, but no infrared is emitted from the infrared irradiator 5b, so that it is possible to prevent unnecessary portions from being irradiated with infrared.

As described above, in the case where only a partial processing acceleration range is heated, if the processing acceleration range is deviated from the rotation reference position of the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b, the processing acceleration range is increased. It is necessary to match the position of the rotation range of the infrared irradiating body 5a or the infrared irradiating body 5b with the range, but this position adjustment is performed through the slipping action of the torque limiter 10 or the infrared irradiating body 5a or the infrared irradiating body 5b.
This can be easily performed by manually sliding b to a required position.

As described above, when heating the partial processing promotion range and the processing promotion range is narrow, the rotation of the infrared irradiation body 5a or the infrared irradiation body 5b is stopped. It is also conceivable that the infrared irradiation body 5a or the infrared irradiation body 5b is irradiated with the infrared light while rotating the infrared irradiation body 5a or the infrared irradiation body 5b. Since infrared rays can be irradiated by moving the irradiation body 5b, it is possible to promote processing without unevenness.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, an infrared radiator 5a which rotates on the upper side of the head is shown.
Has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the infrared irradiation body 5b on the rear side, and the supporting base 4 of the infrared irradiation body 5a
The length from the to the tip is short. In this way, by providing the infrared irradiation members 5a and 5b with different lengths from the support base 4 to the front end, the front end of the infrared irradiation body 5a rotating on the upper side is positioned in front of the head of the subject. It does not protrude, and unnecessary infrared irradiation to the face can be eliminated.

In each of the above embodiments, the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are formed in a ring shape. However, in addition to the above, a rod-like shape that is curved in an arc shape along the head of the subject is used. May be used. Further, the hair treatment promoting device 1 is provided with a blowing mechanism having a heater so as to blow hot or cold air from the infrared irradiators 5a, 5b or the main body case 7 toward the head of the subject. Is also good.

[0025]

According to the present invention, as described above, the rotation driving means 2 is used.
The support base 4 is rotatably supported on the rotating shaft 3 that is driven to reciprocate by rotating the pair of infrared irradiators 5a and 5b arranged in a positional relationship different from each other by approximately 180 ° so that the support base 4 has a substantially C-shape. Since both the infrared irradiators 5a and 5b are reciprocally rotated at a predetermined angle when attached,
By setting the angle of reciprocating rotation of a and 5b to approximately 180 °, the infrared radiation can be applied to the entire circumference of the subject's head by the rotation of each infrared irradiation body 5a and 5b by half rotation. . Accordingly, the entire hair can be heated in a short time to accelerate the processing without increasing the rotation speed or the irradiation temperature.

Further, by providing the infrared irradiation amounts of both the infrared irradiation members 5a and 5b so as to be individually settable, the heating can be performed in combination with the reciprocating rotation of the both infrared irradiation members 5a and 5b at a predetermined angle. A necessary portion can be effectively irradiated with a necessary amount of infrared rays.

Further, by providing the infrared irradiation bodies 5a and 5b with different lengths from the support base 4 to the front end, the front end of the infrared irradiation body 5a rotating on the upper side is positioned on the head of the subject. There is an excellent effect such that unnecessary infrared irradiation to the face can be eliminated without protruding forward.
