Abstract

The present disclosure provides a beauty component atomizer capable of stabilizing a spray amount of a beauty component. A beauty component atomizer according to the present disclosure is beauty component atomizer including component solid part containing at least one kind of beauty component that is solid or quasi-solid at a normal temperature, contactor which is heatable, driver connected to at least one selected from the group consisting of component solid part and contactor and configured to change a physical distance between component solid part and contactor, and controller electrically connected to contactor and driver to control a temperature of contactor and an operation of driver. Controller sets the temperature of contactor to be more than or equal to a melting point or sublimation point of the beauty component, and operates driver to change a contact state between component solid part and contactor while continuously bringing component solid part and contactor into contact with each other, and atomizes the beauty component.

First claim

1 . A beauty component atomizer comprising:
a component solid part that contains at least one kind of beauty component that is solid or quasi-solid at a normal temperature; a contactor which is heatable; a driver that is connected to at least one selected from the group consisting of the component solid part and the contactor, and is configured to change a physical distance between the component solid part and the contactor; and a controller that is electrically connected to the contactor and the driver to control a temperature of the contactor and an operation of the driver, wherein the controller
sets the temperature of the contactor to be more than or equal to a melting point or sublimation point of the beauty component,
operates the driver to change a contact state between the component solid part and the contactor while continuously bringing the component solid part and the contactor into contact with each other, and
atomizes the beauty component.

2 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller operates the driver in such a way that a pressing force between the component solid part and the contactor is raised in a case where an atomization amount of the beauty component is increased and that the pressing force between the component solid part and the contactor is lowered in a case where the atomization amount of the beauty component is decreased.

3 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an elastic member that is elastically deformed when the component solid part and the contactor comes into contact with each other.

4 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a force detector that measures a pressing force when the component solid part and the contactor comes into contact with each other, and is electrically connected to the controller, wherein the controller operates the driver based on the pressing force measured by the force detector, and changes the contact state between the component solid part and the contactor.

5 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein, after a predetermined time has elapsed from when the component solid part and the contactor comes into contact with each other, the controller operates the driver to change the contact state between the component solid part and the contactor, and changes the temperature of the contactor.

6 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein the controller preheats the contactor when the component solid part and the contactor are separated from each other.

7 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller sets a reference target temperature of the contactor between the melting point and a boiling point of the beauty component, the controller controls the temperature of the contactor to be more than or equal to the reference target temperature and less than or equal to the boiling point of the beauty component in a case where an atomization amount of the beauty component is increased, and the controller controls the temperature of the contactor to be more than or equal to the melting point of the beauty component and less than or equal to the reference target temperature in a case where the atomization amount of the beauty component is decreased.

8 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller operates the driver in such a way that the temperature of the contactor is held at a temperature of more than or equal to boiling point of the beauty component, and that the pressing force between the component solid part and the contactor continues to act.

9 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , wherein
the at least one kind of beauty component includes a plurality of kinds of beauty components, and the plurality of kinds of beauty components are contained in the component solid part.

10 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 9 , wherein
the plurality of kinds of beauty components have melting points different from each other.

11 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an atomization amount detector that measures an atomization amount of the atomized beauty component, and is electrically connected to the controller, wherein the controller controls the temperature of the contactor and the operation of the driver based on the atomization amount measured by the atomization amount detector.

12 . The beauty component atomizer according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an air blower that applies warm air and air at a normal temperature to the beauty component atomized via the contactor, and is electrically connected to the controller, wherein the controller blows the warm air from the air blower when the temperature of the contactor is raised, and blows the air at the normal temperature from the air blower when the temperature of the contactor is lowered.
