portion 120 may be generally frustoconical.
[0031] In some examplary embodiments, the function portion 120 may have a socket 121 (see
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4) for mounting the function head 122. In some examplary embodiments,
the socket 121 may be a recess provided at the front surface of the function portion
120. In some examplary embodiments, the socket 121 may be circular in shape. However,
embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto, and in some examplary embodiments,
the shape of the socket 121 may be other shapes, for example, the shape of the socket
121 may be a regular shape such as a triangle, a quincunx or a polygon, and may be
an irregular shape.
[0032] In some examplary embodiments, the function portion 120 may be used for mounting
the function head 122 (see Fig. 4). In some examplary embodiments, the function head
122 may be removebly mounted to the socket 121 of the function portion 120.
[0033] In some examplary embodiments, the socket 121 may be used directly to mount the function
head 122 (not shown). In this case, the function head 122 may be disposed in the socket
121. The function head 122 may be shaped and sized to match the socket 121. For example,
the shape of the function head 122 may be generally the same as the shape of the socket
121. In some examplary embodiments, an outer diameter of the function head 122 may
be no greater than an inner diameter of the socket 121. In other embodiments, if the
function head 122 is an elastic member, the outer diameter of the function head 122
may be greater than the inner diameter of the socket 121. In this case, the function
head 122 can be stably mounted to the socket 121.
[0034] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may
futher comprise a docking base 123 (see Figs. 3 and 4). In some examplary embodiments,
the docking base 123 may be used to connect the function portion 120 with the function
head 122. That is, the docking base 123 may be disposed between the function portion
120 and the function head 122. In some examplary embodiments, the docking base 123
may be removably disposed in the socket 121. In some examplary embodiments, the docking

embodiments, the mount part 1232 may be removably connected with the connecting part
1231. In other embodiments, the mounting part 1232 may be integrally formed with the
connecting part 1231. In some examlpary embodiments, an outer diameter of the mounting
part 1232 may be no greater than an outer diameter of the docking base 123. However,
the embodiments of the disclosure is not limited thereto, and the outer diameter of
the mounting part 1232 may be greater than the outer diameter of the docking base
123.
[0037] In some examlpary embodiments, the connecting part 1231 may be closer to the function
portion 120 than the mounting part 1232. In some examlpary embodiments, the function
head 122 may be removably disposed on the mounting part 1232.
[0038] In some examlpary embodiments, the mounting part 1232 may have a recess that mates
with the function head 122. In some examlpary embodiments, the inner diameter of the
socket may match the inner diameter of the function head 122. In this case, the function
head 122 may be mounted within the recess (not shown).
[0039] In other examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may have a recess that mates
with the mounting part 1232. In some examlpary embodiments, the inner diameter of
the recess may match the outer diameter of the mounting part 1232. In some examlpary
embodiments, snap-fit features may be provided on the outer periphery of the mounting
part 1232. In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may be mounted on
the docking base 123 in a way of shielding the mounting part 1232 (see Figs. 3 and
4).
[0040] In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may be provided in such a manner
as to protrude forwards with respect to the front surface of the function portion
120 or the front surface of the docking base 123 (see Figs. 3 and 4). In other embodiments,
the function head 122 may be configured to lie flat with the front surface of the
function portion 120 or the front surface of the docking base 123.
[0041] In some examlpary embodiments, the function head 122 may have a skin cleansing head
for cleansing the skin and a skin rejuvenating head for rejuvenating the skin.
[0042] In some examlpary embodiments, the skin cleansing head may be a silicone sheet. In
the embodiments of this disclosure, when the skin cleansing head serves as the function
head 122, the user may apply a skin cleaning liquid such as facial cleanser to the
skin to be treated, and then contact the skin cleansing head with the skin to clean
the skin.
[0043] In some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head may react in a gel to generate
carbon dioxide. In some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head is made
of materials including sodium bicarbonate, water, centella asiatica extract, magnesium
stearate, glycerol, butylene glycol, rhodiola root extract, ginseng extract, grape
seed extract, peony root extract, witch hazel extract, citric acid, acrylates, triethanolamine,
xanthan gum, hydroxyethyl cellulose, p-hydroxyacetophenone, methyl paraben, phenoxyethanol,
and CI16255 carmine pigment. In this case, the skin rejuvenating head can be made
of the above materials.
[0044] In some examplary embodiments, the gel may include glycerol, water, escitalaria europaea
extract, bilberry leaf extract, calendula extract, rhodiola root extract, grape seed
extract, carbomer, and triethanolamine. In this case, the gel can react with the skin
rejuvenating head to generate carbon dioxide without adversely affecting the skin
of the user or the like. However, embodiments of this disclosure are not limited thereto,
and in some examplary embodiments, the skin rejuvenating head and the gel may be made
of other materials capable of reacting to generate carbon dioxide without adversely
affecting the skin.
[0045] In the embodiments of this disclosure, when the skin rejuvenating head serves as
the function head 122, the user may apply the gel to the skin to be treated, and then
contact the skin rejuvenating head with the skin to treat the skin, and carbon dioxide
may be generated on the skin surface. In this case, on the one hand, the generated
carbon dioxide will lead to the Bohr effect which promotes the entry of oxygen in
the capillaries into the tissue, the oxygen content in the cells will increase, the
capillaries will expand, more oxygen will be supplied, and the metabolism of the cells
will be promoted; on the other hand, the generated carbon dioxide can generate carbonic
acid on the skin surface after meeting water, so that the cutin may be effectively
removed. In this way, the skin can be effectively cared.
[0046] In some examplary embodiments, the function head 122 may be removably mounted in
a snap-fit or adhesive manner, or the like. In this case, the user can select an appropriate
function head 122 to use according to the actual situation.
[0047] In some examplary embodiments, as described above, the main body housing 10 may also
include a hand-held portion 110 for use as a handle. In some examplary embodiments,
the hand-held portion 110 may be elongated. In some examplary embodiments, the main
body housing 10 other than the function portion 120 may be all regarded as the hand-held
portion 110. In some examplary embodiments, the hand-held portion 110 may be formed
as a hollow shell.
[0048] Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing the structure of the portable rejuvenating skin
care apparatus 1 according to an embodiment of this disclosure.
[0049] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may
further include a vibration module 111 (see Fig. 5). In some examples, the vibration
module 111 may be disposed within the hollow shell of the main body housing 10. In
some examplary embodiments, the vibration module 111 may be disposed within the main
body housing 10 proximate to the hand-held portion 110. In this way, the portable
rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can be better vibrated. In other embodiments, the
vibration module 111 may be disposed in the main body housing 10 proximate to the
function part 120. In some examplary embodiments, the vibration module 111 may include
a motor and an eccentric wheel (not shown). In some examplary embodiments, the motor
may be a miniature direct current (DC) motor. The eccentric wheel can be disposed
on an output shaft of the miniature DC motor. In some examplary embodiments, the vibration
module 111 may be in contact with the main body housing 10. In some examplary embodiments,
the main body housing 10 may vibrate when the vibration module 111 is in an operating
state (i.e., when in vibration), and the function head 122 may be vibrated along with
the main body housing 10. In this case, the vibration module 111 may vibrate the portable
rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 with the motor and the eccentric wheel.
[0050] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further
includes a control module 112 (see Fig. 5) for controlling the vibration module 111.
In some examplary embodiments, the control module 112 may control the vibration state
of the vibration module 111. Herein, the vibration state may include a vibrating phase
and a static phase. That is, the control module 112 may control whether to operate
the vibration module 111 or not. In some examplary embodiments, the control module
112 may be an adjusting button disposed on the main body housing 10 (see Fig. 2).
Specifically, the control module 112 may be a mechanical switch having mechanical
contacts. Alternatively, the control module 112 may be an electronic switch that detects
finger contact and switches electronically. For example, a window may be provided
on the front surface of the front shell 10a for mounting the control module 112. The
control module 112 may be a button switch. The control module 112 may be mounted at
the window in such a manner that the control module 112 can be pressed back and forth.
In this case, it is possible to adjust whether to operate the vibration module 111
or not by pressing the control module 112, for example, to control whether to connect
the power module 113 with the vibration module 111 or not by pressing the control
module 112. In some examplary embodiments, before the vibration module 111 starts
operating, i.e., starting from the static phase, the user may switch the vibration
module 111 to an operating mode, i.e., to the vibrating phase, by pressing the adjusting
button. After the vibration module 111 starts to operate, the user may also turn off
the vibration module 111 by pressing the adjusting button.
[0051] In other examplary embodiments, the control module 112 may also be used to control
the vibration frequency of the vibration module 111. In this case, the control module
112 may be an adjusting button provided on the main body housing 10 and a control
unit provided inside the body shell 10. In some examplary embodiments, the control
unit may be caused to control and adjust the vibration frequency of the vibration
module 111 by adjusting the adjusting button. For example, before the vibration module
111 starts operating, i.e., starting from the static phase, the user may switch the
vibration module 111 to the operating mode, i.e., to the vibrating phase, by long
pressing the adjusting button. In some examplary embodiments, a plurality of different
levels may be set for the operating mode. Different levels may correspond to different
vibration frequencies at which vibration module 111 vibrates. For example, the plurality
of different levels may include a high level, a medium level, and a low level, respectively.
Among them, the high level means that the vibration module 111 vibrates at a high
vibration frequency. The high level corresponds to a relatively higher vibration frequency
at which the vibration module 111 vibrates, followed by the medium level, and the
low level. In some examplary embodiments, after the vibration module 111 starts operating,
the user may cause the vibration module 111 to vibrate at different vibration frequencies
by briefly pressing the adjusting button. In some examplary embodiments, after the
vibration module 111 starts operating, the user may also turn off the vibration module
111 by long pressing the adjusting button.
[0052] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further
includes a power module 113 for supply power. In some examplary embodiments, the power
module 113 may be a battery or other power supply devices. In some examplary embodiments,
the power module 113 may be disposed within the main body housing 10.
[0053] In some examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be a rechargeable power supply.
For example, the power module 113 may be a rechargeable lithium battery. In some examplary
embodiments, the power module 113 may be charged wirelessly. For example, a receiving
coil connected to the power supply module 113 may be provided in the main body housing
10. And the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 further has a base 20 (described
in more detail below) including a transmitting coil. The transmitting coil and the
receiving coil may charge the power supply module 113 wirelessly through magnetic
energy coupling. In this way, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can
be charged wirelessly.
[0054] In other examplary embodiments, the power module 113 may be charged in a wired manner.
For example, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may also have a charging
port for connecting an external power source and charging the power module 113.
[0055] In other examplary embodiments, the power supply module 113 may be a power interface
connected with an external power source which is enabled to power the portable rejuvenating
skin care apparatus 1. In this way, the external power source is enabled to directly
power the portable rejuvenated skin care apparatus 1.
[0056] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may
also have a determination module 114 for controlling whether to perform charging or
not. In some examplary embodiments, the determination module 114 may be disposed within
the main body housing 10. In some examplary embodiments, the determination module
114 may be connected with the power module 113. In some examplary embodiments, the
determination module 114 may detect power information of the power supply module 113.
If the power amount is smaller than a first threshold value, a charging circuit of
the power module 113 is not influenced, and the power module 113 can be charged; if
the power amount is greater than a second threshold, the charging circuit of the power
supply module 113 may be opened. In this way, the portable rejuvenating skin care
apparatus 1 can be used more safely.
[0057] In some examplary embodiments, the first threshold value and the second threshold
value may be determined by those skilled in the art on the basis of the maximum capacity
of power of the power module 113 and the minimum power required to drive the portable
rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 into normal operation. In some examplary embodiments,
the first threshold value may be smaller than the second threshold value.
[0058] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 may
also have a safety module 115. In some examplary embodiments, the safety module 115
may be connected to the power module 113. In some examplary embodiments, the safety
module 115 may be used to determine whether a shorted load exists or not. For example,
the safety module 115 may determine whether a load connected to the power module 113
is shorted or the like from the magnitude of the current or not. In some examplary
embodiments, if a short circuit occurs, the safety module 115 may disable the portable
rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1, for example, by disabling the output from the
power module 113. In this way, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can
be used more safely.
[0059] In some examplary embodiments, the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 also
includes a rotation module 116. In some examplary embodiments, the rotation module
116 may be a miniature DC motor. The rotation module 116 has a rotatable shaft. In
some examplary embodiments, the rotation module 116 may be disposed inside the main

[0069] Hereinafter, a method for using the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 according
to embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the
accompanying drawings.
[0070] In some examplary embodiments, as described above, the portable rejuvenating skin
care apparatus 1 may have a skin cleansing mode and a skin rejuvenating mode.
[0071] In some examplary embodiments, the user may hold the portable rejuvenating skin care
apparatus 1 by hand and may clean or rejuvenate the skin by using a skin cleansing
head or skin rejuvenating head as the function head 122.
[0072] In some examplary embodiments, when the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus
1 is in the skin cleansing mode, the user may select the skin cleansing head as the
function head 122 and may hold the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 by
hand with the function head 122 in contact with the skin to be treated to clean the
skin.
[0073] Specifically, when the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 is in the skin
cleansing mode, the user can replace with the skin cleansing head as the function
head 122, apply a cleansing liquid such as facial cleanser to the skin surface to
be treated, enable the vibration module 111 to operate by adjusting the control module
112 (for example, pressing the adjusting button), and then contact the skin cleansing
head with the skin surface while keeping the skin cleansing head moving continuously
and spirally in the skin area. In this case, a better skin care effect for the portable
rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 can be rendered.
[0074] In some examplary embodiments, when the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus
1 is in the skin rejuvenating mode, the user may select the skin rejuvenating head
as the function head 122 and may hold the portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus
1 by hand with the function head 122 in contact with the skin to be treated to perform
skin caring.
[0075] Specifically, when the portable skin-rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1 is in the
skin rejuvenating mode, the user can replace with skin rejuvenating head as the function
head 122, apply a gel or the like to the skin surface to be treated, enable the vibration
module 111 to operate by adjusting the control module 112 (for example, pressing the
adjusting button), and then contact the skin rejuvenating head with the skin surface
while keeping the skin rejuvenating head moving continuously and spirally in the skin
area. In this way, the skin rejuvenating head can more fully react with the gel and
generate carbon dioxide on the skin surface. In this case, on the one hand, the generated
carbon dioxide will lead to the Bohr effect which promotes the entry of oxygen in
the capillaries into the tissue, the oxygen content in the cells will increase, the
capillaries will expand, more oxygen will be supplied, and the metabolism of the cells
will be promoted; on the other hand, the generated carbon dioxide can generate carbonic
acid on the skin surface after meeting water, so that the cutin can be effectively
removed. As such, this enables effective care of the skin.
[0076] In some examplary embodiments, the user may first set the portable rejuvenating skin
care apparatus 1 to clean the skin to be treated in the skin cleansing mode when using
a portable rejuvenating skin care apparatus 1. The portable rejuvenating skin care
apparatus 1 is then set to perform skin caring in the rejuvenating mode to improve
the skin condition.
