Abstract

A multi-function device for skin treatment is provided, which includes: a main body comprising a lower base, a cover coupled to an upper portion of the lower base, and a main case seated on the lower base; an IPL generator comprising: an IPL power unit comprising a main power case mounted on the main case, and a main power board housed in the main power case; an IPL coolant circulation device mounted on the main case; and an IPL connector attached to the main case, and coupled to: an IPL connection cable; a vacuum suction unit connected to an IPL handpiece and generating vacuum suction pressure; a suction cable connected to the vacuum suction unit; and a coolant connection cable connected to the IPL coolant circulation device; an IPL handpiece connected to the IPL connection cable and performing IPL treatment while being in contact with skin; a high frequency generator comprising a high frequency control board mounted on other side of the main case, and a high frequency power connected to the high frequency control board; a high frequency handpiece connected to one end of a high frequency cable that is connected to the high frequency control board, and performing high frequency treatment while being in contact with skin; and a low frequency stimulus handpiece comprising a cable connected to the main body, a handle connected to the cable, and a probe formed on an end of the handle and transmitting a low frequency stimulus to skin.

Claims (49)

1. An intense pulsed light (IPL) and high frequency generator, comprising:

a main body comprising a lower base, a cover coupled to an upper portion of the lower base, and a main case seated on the lower base;

an IPL generator comprising:

an IPL power unit comprising a main power case mounted on the main case, and a main power board housed in the main power case;

an IPL coolant circulation device mounted on the main case; and

an IPL connector attached to the main case, and coupled to:

an IPL connection cable;

a vacuum suction unit connected to an IPL handpiece and generating vacuum suction pressure;

a suction cable connected to the vacuum suction unit; and

a coolant connection cable connected to the IPL coolant circulation device;

wherein the IPL handpiece is connected to the IPL connection cable and performs IPL treatment while being in contact with skin;

a high frequency generator comprising a high frequency control board mounted on a side of the main case, and a high frequency power connected to the high frequency control board;

a high frequency handpiece connected to one end of a high frequency cable that is connected to the high frequency control board, and performing high frequency treatment while being in contact with skin; and

a low frequency stimulus handpiece comprising a cable connected to the main body, a handle connected to the cable, and a probe formed on an end of the handle and transmitting a low frequency stimulus to skin;

wherein the high frequency handpiece comprises:

a handle, of which one end is connected to the high frequency generator and another end has an opening formed therein;

a needle cartridge removably coupled to one side of the handle and having a needle formed therein to be inserted into the skin and transmit a high frequency to the skin;

wherein the needle cartridge comprises:

a holder having open sides and a passage formed therein;

a needle assembly coupled to one side of the holder and having the needle formed therein;

a connector coupled to an opening on another side of the holder and connected to one side of the needle assembly and having a fitting part at another side of the needle assembly; and

a power plug removably fitted into the fitting part of the connector and coupled to the handle to supply power; and

wherein the connector has a shape of a rod and is formed of a conductive metal material, and includes the fitting part formed at one end thereof with a plurality of cuts arranged in a circumferential direction, and

a mounting surface formed on another end thereof along an outer circumferential surface for close contact with the needle.

2. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the IPL coolant circulation device comprises:

a water tank in which a coolant is stored;

a water pump for conveying the coolant of the water tank;

a coolant supply pipe connected to a discharge side of the water pump and connected to the IPL handpiece; and

a coolant cooler for cooling a heated coolant discharged from the IPL handpiece.

3. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 2 , wherein the coolant supply pipe comprises a flowrate sensor for sensing a flow of the coolant and checking temperature and flowrate.

4. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 2 , wherein the coolant cooler comprises:

a cooling coil pipe connected to the coolant supply pipe and arranged in a zigzag shape; and

a cooling fan formed at one side of the cooling coil pipe and ejecting air for cooling.

5. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the vacuum suction unit comprises:

an air filter connected to the suction cable of the IPL handpiece;

a vacuum motor connected to the suction cable and generating a vacuum suction force;

a pressure sensor formed on the suction cable; and

a solenoid valve formed on the suction cable for on/off controlling, and interoperated with the pressure sensor.

6. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the holder comprises a coupling part including a needle insertion hole formed at the one side for receiving the needle assembly to be inserted therein, and a through hole formed at the other side for receiving a connector to be inserted therein, and

the coupling part includes a fitting slot in a ‘ ’ shape on an outer circumferential surface thereof, for coupling with a fastening portion of the handle.

7. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the handle includes a cap coupled to the one side thereof to receive a coupling part of the needle cartridge to be fitted thereinto, and

a stopper formed on an inner circumferential surface of the cap to be inserted into a fitting slot.

8. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the needle assembly is a conductive metal plate and includes through holes formed at one end that is coupled to the connector, and one, or a plurality of sharp-pointed needles at another end.

9. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 1 , wherein the IPL handpiece comprises:

a handle having a head part formed on one side and a pipe formed on another side;

an IPL module including a body housed in the head part and having an open lower portion, an IPL lamp formed in the body, and a glass pipe receiving the IPL lamp therein and housed in the body; and

a suction part coupled to a lower portion of the body to exhibit a suction force and including a suction plate, a refractor coupled to the suction plate, a suction rubber surrounding the refractor and having an open lower portion, and a suction hose passed through the suction rubber and the refractor so as to be communicatively coupled to the suction plate, thereby providing a suction force.

10. The IPL and high frequency generator according to claim 9 , further comprising:

a cooling unit coupled to the head part, and including a cooling element closely attached to an upper portion of the body, a cooling jacket seated on an upper surface of the cooling element, and a cooling water inlet pipe and a cooling water outlet pipe communicatively coupled to the cooling jacket.
