Abstract
An exfoliator, an exfoliating apparatus and an exfoliating method using the same are described. The orientating column of the exfoliator is suitable for propeling a plurality of beads. The exfoliator includes a first base, a second base, at least one first orientating column and a plurality of beads. The first base has a first central hole for allowing a rotating axis to pass therethrough. The second base has a second central through hole for allowing the rotating axis to pass therethrough. The first orientating column has two opposite ends, in which the two ends of the first orientating column are fixed to the first base and the second base respectively.
Claims13
An exfoliator, comprising:
- a first base having a first central hole for allowing a rotating axis to pass therethrough;
- a second base having a second central hole for allowing the rotating axis to pass therethrough;
- at least one first orientating column having two opposite ends, wherein the two ends are fixed to the first base and the second base respectively;
- and
- a plurality of beads received in a first space defined between the first base and the second base, and
- wherein when the first base and the second base rotate along the rotating axis, the beads are propelled by the first orientating column to perform a circumferential movement along the rotating axis, each of the beads performs self-rotation independently along a self-rotating axis at the same time, and the rotating axis is parallel to the self-rotating axis.
An exfoliating apparatus comprising:
- a chamber comprising a cavity;
- an exfoliator disposed in the cavity, wherein the exfoliator comprises:
- a first base having a first central hole for allowing a rotating axis to pass therethrough;
- a second base having a second central hole for allowing the rotating axis to pass therethrough;
- at least one first orientating column having two opposite ends, wherein the two ends are fixed to the first base and the second base respectively;
- and
- a plurality of beads received in a first space defined between the first base and the second base, wherein when the first base and the second base rotate along the rotating axis, the beads are propelled by the first orientating column to perform a circumferential movement along the rotating axis, each of the beads performs self-rotation independently along a self-rotating axis at the same time, and the rotating axis is parallel to the self-rotating axis;
- and
- a rotation device disposed out of the cavity, wherein the rotation device comprises:
- the rotating axis;
- and
- a driving unit electrically connected to the rotating axis, and
- wherein the exfoliator has a first volume, the beads have a second volume, the second volume is 70 volume percent to 90 volume percent of a second space, and the second space is a difference between the cavity and the first volume.
