Background technology
The prior art of Motor Drive formula depilation device that is used for removing the hair on the skin is based on the well-known notion that the patent that covers previous machinery discloses, and this patent is to authorize the Swiss Patent 268,696 of Fischer.In this patent, a helical spring is bent to arc, so that between all circles of its convex side, provide the space, and spring is placed on the skin, this spring rolls in the direction of slight pressure lower edge chaeta growth.When the sealing of the space of coil concave side, the chaeta that helical spring scroll actions will be trapped in the space between the coil of convex side is extracted.
The U.S. Patent No. 4,524,772 of authorizing people such as Daar has disclosed a kind of arcual helical spring, and this helical spring is by the Motor Drive formula coupling high speed rotating that links to each other with its end.Contacting between helical spring steel wire and the single chaeta is point-like substantially.The chaeta that is captured between the closed turn may be released before finishing pulling out operation, and this causes pulling out of poor efficiency and unnecessary pain.
In case chaeta is trapped between the closed spiral elastic ring,, continue to apply revolving force and can make its " rolling-in ", yet chaeta still is in original position because spring is made of the flexible steel wire material.Along with spring continues " rolling-in ", the pulling force that is applied on the chaeta will increase, and be used to pull out required power until developing into.Need certain time interval owing to form this power, so the suffered pain degree of user will increase.
When spring directly contacted skin, because successive bending stress is applied thereto, helical spring can rupture during use, and user is worked the mischief.
In addition, because the space shifted laterally between the spiral elastic ring of rotation in a spiral manner, lateral deflection can take place in chaeta.Therefore, short chaeta will leak the hair trap that is formed by spiral elastic ring.
In the U.S. Patent No. 4,575,902 of authorizing Alazet, disclosed a kind of depilation device, this device comprises a series of epilation disks adjacent, that closely separate, is contained in the housing by an electric motor driven epilation disk.Disk is in its rotation period distortion, thereby the disk that it is adjacent forces together, so that pull out the chaeta that is trapped in therebetween during by skin at this device.When disk is pressed together, thereby the external hair-traps that forms is mainly caught the chaeta at the center of the rotate path that is positioned at device.Be positioned at large the obtaining of short chaeta of rotate path periphery, thereby also can not pulled out.
At the United States Patent (USP) 4,575,902 of authorizing Alazet, the United States Patent (USP) 5 of authorizing Oliveau, 041,123 and authorize the United States Patent (USP) 4,960 of Demeester, in 422, it is quite complicated keeping uniform clamping force and while closing blade in all hair traps, and the utmost point be cannot say for sure to demonstrate,prove.These patents state some devices, wherein, the epilation blade or the disk that be arranged in parallel are fixed with respect to the bar that has these blades or disk.Usually, the cam drive actions of bar makes blade closed each other.When applying power, can obtain enough clamping forces by some blades, and other blade can not be subjected to enough power, and maintenance is opened.
The epilation blade mainly is the result of the inhomogeneities during device element is produced in response to the difference of given mechanical force.Because the inhomogeneities that all are produced all with to a certain degree, the method that need find a kind of harmful effect that reduces or preferably eliminate inhomogeneous production is to obtain appropriate and effective performance.
For closing blade, must apply bigger power, this can make and produce over-drastic stress on the at first closed blade.Overstress on the blade can be cut off chaeta rather than pull out chaeta.In addition, it is unsuccessful having that pulling out of certain percentage attempt.When chaeta was not pulled out by pulling, the result increased pain, increase energy expenditure (this is particularly evident under the situation of battery operation formula device), increase noise and excessive wear and loss part.
Therefore, preferably provide a kind of high-grade driven by power formula depilation device, this device can significantly improve the ratio of pulling out and cutting off chaeta, makes the pain relevant with the interval between pulling out with the clamping of single chaeta reduce to minimum simultaneously.
A kind of depilation device preferably also is provided, and this device can reduce noise, and therefore reduces the scaring of user.
In addition, in the prior art, the depilation device person of the being designed to be used in holding device of having to as a rule is vertical substantially just effective with skin surface, and this is a kind of operating position least easily.
Therefore, preferably also provide a kind of depilation device, this Design of device allows user with the mode that becomes an other contact angle with skin surface operative installations effectively.This will make user be easy to manipulation device, so that (for example back side in knee joint zone) removes chaeta effectively in the zone that is difficult to arrive.In addition, this design also allows user to observe zone to be lost hair or feathers easily, and this is difficult to accomplish in one type of prior art syringe.
In addition, preferably provide a kind of depilation device, its design of mechanically revising causes effective distribution of the power that applies, and reduces the excessive wear of part by this, and improves epilation efficient.
Summary of the invention
Therefore, main purpose of the present invention is to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming, and a kind of hand-held machine depilation device that is used to remove the hair on the undesired skin is provided, and this device adopts the design of mechanically revising, and this design uses novel mechanism to make paired tweezers element spiral positioning.
