DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 3 is a view showing the configuration of the LED unit used in the present invention, Figure 3 (a) is a view showing an embodiment of the LED unit is equipped with infrared LED for heat generation, Figure 3 (b) is the heat 3 shows an embodiment of an LED unit equipped with an infrared LED for generation and an ultraviolet LED for sterilization, and FIG. 3C shows an embodiment of an LED unit equipped with an infrared LED for heat generation and an ultraviolet LED for disinfection and a vibrator. Drawing.

3 (a) is a view showing an LED unit equipped with an infrared LED for heat generation, infrared LED 120 is a device that emits infrared radiation that is relatively small, low power consumption, and has a thermal effect. LED unit (100A) is a device that is equipped with a plurality of such infrared LED (120) to the substrate 110, the printed circuit is formed and to supply power from a controller (not shown) to emit infrared light as needed. .

LED unit (100B) shown in Figure 3 (b) is configured by additionally equipped with a sterilizing ultraviolet LED (130) to the LED unit (100A) is equipped with a heat generation infrared LED 120 as described above. . This is to keep the cuff clean by sterilizing bacteria that may remain in the cuff after use of the cuff.

The ultraviolet LED 130 has a sterilization effect in proportion to the wavelength, irradiance and irradiation time, the wavelength of the relatively high sterilization power is known to be around 250 ~ 260nm. However, since the ultraviolet light directly affects the skin layer and may cause various skin diseases, the UV LED 130 should not be operated while the cuff is worn on the body and should be operated while removed from the body. To this end, after the use of the limb compressed air massager is confirmed that the cuff is removed from the body is to be operated for a predetermined time. The removal of the cuff, for example, can be detected by installing an optical sensor on the inner outer skin layer 153 of the cuff facing each other, it can also be detected using other limit switches and the like.

LED unit (100C) shown in Figure 3 (c) is a vibration massage vibrator 140 in the LED unit (100B) is equipped with a heat generation infrared LED 120 and sterilization ultraviolet LED 130 as described above ) Is equipped with additional mounting.

Vibration massage is a mechanism that can improve the health by promoting blood circulation of the human body by pressurizing and massaging by vibration generated from the vibrating element to the main meridians of the human body, also a device for generating vibration by the rotational force of the motor as a vibration means However, the use of an element that generates vibration by electromagnetic force or ultrasonic waves is advantageous in reducing noise and consuming or controlling current.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the vibrator 140 of the LED unit 100C is controlled by a controller (not shown) so that only the vibrator installed in the air bag into which air is injected from each air bag constituting the cuff is air massaged. In addition, the vibration massage is also made in parallel to double the massage effect.

Figure 4 is a view showing the installation state of the LED unit (100: 100A, 100B, 100C) according to the present invention, Figure 4 (a) is installed in the cuff the LED unit 100 to the outside of the inner shell layer 153. 4 shows a configuration diagram of an embodiment in which the LED unit 100 is installed between the inner tube layer 151 in the inner shell layer 153 in the cuff.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the cuff forms an inner tube layer 151 and an outer tube layer 152 by using synthetic resin to form an air layer 155 through which the injected air does not leak, and this is divided into a plurality of zones. The inner tube layer 151 and the outer tube layer 152 are formed of a synthetic resin, and are highly likely to be damaged when they come into contact with sharp objects from the outside. Therefore, in order to prevent this, the inner skin layer 153 and the outer skin layer 154 of the genius are formed by attaching to the outer surface, respectively.

In this cuff, the LED unit 100 is disposed on the outer surface of the inner shell layer 153, and the lid is covered with the cover layer 156 having a larger area than the LED unit 100. The edge of the layer 156 is attached by a method such as ultrasonic welding to fix the LED unit 100. The cover layer 156 is formed of a light-transmitting layer so that the infrared and / or ultraviolet rays irradiated from the LED unit 100 can be transmitted well, a plurality of through holes 157 are formed for ventilation.

A power line (not shown) for supplying power to the LED unit 100 may be exposed to the outside of the inner skin layer 153, but may be fixed by covering the protective layer in the same form as the cover layer 156.

Referring to FIG. 4B, the inner tube layer 151 and the inner envelope layer 153 are attached to each other in a state where the LED unit 100 is disposed between the inner tube layer 151 and the inner envelope layer 153 in the cuff. By fixing the LED unit 100 by. In this case, a through hole 167 for venting is formed in the inner skin layer 153 to which the LED unit 100 is fixed.

The operation of the cuff of the structure equipped with the LED unit (100: 100A, 100B, 100C) according to the present invention as described above will be described.

In the embodiment of the structure in which the LED unit 100A equipped with only the infrared LED 120 is installed in the cuff, the LED unit 100A installed in each air bag while simultaneously injecting and discharging air into the air bags. Power to the infrared LED 120 to turn on the infrared LED 120. Accordingly, the heat is generated in the infrared LED 120 while the air massage is performed according to the contraction and relaxation of the air bag, and thus the temperature in the cuff is warmed.

In the embodiment of the structure in which the LED unit 100B equipped with the infrared LED 120 and the ultraviolet LED 130 is installed in the cuff, the operation is basically the same as that of the embodiment in which the LED unit 100A is mounted. This can be made at the same time the poultice effect based on the heat generated from the infrared LED 120 during the air massage is made. By the way, while feeling the poultice effect based on the heat generated from the infrared LED 120, the sweat is discharged from the body and the sweat may also be doubled in the inner envelope layer 153 of the cuff, thereby creating a possibility of bacterial propagation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, bacteria are propagated in the inner skin layer 153 by applying power to the ultraviolet LED 130 in the LED unit 100B for a predetermined time after the use of the cuff to irradiate the inner skin layer 153 of the cuff. It is made to sterilize. The operation of the ultraviolet LED 130 may be performed automatically or manually by the operation of a controller (not shown). In the case of the automatic operation, the UV LED 130 may be performed while the cuff is detached from the body to prevent skin diseases. It is.

On the other hand, in the embodiment of the structure in which the LED unit 100C equipped with the infrared LED 120, the ultraviolet LED 130, and the vibrator 140 is installed in the cuff, the implementation of the structure in which the LED unit 100B described above is installed. The operation is performed as in the example, the air is injected into the air bag and the infrared LED 120 and the vibrator 140 is operated while the air massage is performed, the poultice effect and the vibrator 140 due to the heat generated from the infrared LED 120 You can feel the vibration massage at the same time.

When the cuff is detached from the body after the massage, the ultraviolet LED 130 is operated for a predetermined time to sterilize.

Of course, in driving the LED unit 100C, the infrared LED 120, the ultraviolet LED 130, and the vibrator 140 may be selectively operated by an operation of a controller (not shown) while air massage is performed. .
