Detailed Description
The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present disclosure will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Specific embodiments of the present disclosure are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the disclosure that may be embodied in various forms. Well-known and/or repeated functions and structures have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the present disclosure with unnecessary or unnecessary detail. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.
The specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," which may each refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments in accordance with the disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a device for transcranial light modulation that, when worn by a user, may emit low-power red or near-infrared light toward the user's head, which may employ, for example, power levels of 1-500mw and wavelengths of 600-1100nm, to stimulate the user's brain to produce a biological response and improve brain function. The structural schematic diagram of the device for transcranial light regulation is shown in fig. 1, and mainly comprises: the head ring 100, the carrying device 200 and the light-emitting device 300, wherein the head ring 100 is configured to be worn on the head of a user, and the user can clearly observe and adjust the head area corresponding to the light-emitting device 300 due to the fact that the head ring is not shielded, so that targeted position adjustment can be achieved; the carrier 200 is fixed to the head ring 100 and/or is formed by at least a portion of the head ring 100, and the light emitting device 300 is fixed to the carrier 200, which mainly includes the following structure as shown in fig. 2: the light source unit 10, the light-transmitting layer 20 disposed on the emission side of the light source unit, and the light guide 30, specifically, one end (e.g., a lower end shown in fig. 2) of the light guide 30 is fixed on a side (e.g., an upper side shown in fig. 2) of the light-transmitting layer 20 opposite to the light source unit 10, and is configured to guide light transmitted from the light-transmitting layer 20. The light-transmitting layer 20 allows light emitted from the light source unit 10 to pass through smoothly, and isolates the light source unit 10 from the external environment, thereby reducing the influence of the external environment on the light source unit 10, and also reducing the heat transfer from the light source unit 10 to the head side, thereby preventing discomfort of the head due to the temperature rise of the light source unit 10 or interference with physiological signals (e.g., blood oxygen signals). The introduction of the light guide member 30 can improve the light transmission efficiency and correct the light transmission direction, further reduce the light dissipation rate and improve the utilization efficiency of the emitted light on transcranial light control. When worn on the head, the light-transmissive layer 20 may apply pressure to the light guide 30 so that the light guide 30 can abut against the head to improve the irradiation efficiency for the head.
It should be noted that although the light emitting device 300 of a circular structure is illustrated in fig. 1, the shape and size of the light emitting device 300 may be selected by itself in actual use; and fig. 2 is only a schematic diagram of a preferred structure of the light emitting device, and may be different according to the actual structure of each component in actual use, and the embodiment is not limited.
In some embodiments, the light guide 30 may be designed to be cylindrical, preferably cylindrical, so that space is better utilized. The light guide member 30 is preferably made of a transparent material such as glass or acryl to ensure light transmission efficiency. Specifically, the light guide 30 may have a fixed end 31 and a free end 32, where the fixed end 31 is one end of the light guide 30 fixed to the light-transmitting layer 20, and the free end 32 is the other end of the light guide 30 opposite to the fixed end 31. The light guide 30 may be directly in contact with the scalp of the user, and is configured to guide and emit light transmitted from the light-transmitting layer 20 to directly guide the light to the scalp of the user, reducing the influence of hair shielding on the light transmission efficiency.
In some embodiments, the light guide 30 disposed on the light-transmitting layer 20 may be plural, and disposed at both sides or around the center line of the light-transmitting layer 20 at intervals. Thus, the light guide members 30 are arranged in an array to have a comb-like effect, which is beneficial to increasing the contact points between the light emitting device and the scalp of the user, and combing the hair and collecting the hair in the space between the light guide members 30, thereby reducing the shielding effect of the hair on illumination. In some embodiments, the transparent layer 20 may be made of an elastic material, so that the angle of the light guide 30 changes when the light guide 30 is pressed by the scalp, thereby facilitating the light guide 30 to pass through the gap between the hairs and abut against the scalp, and further reducing the shielding effect of the hairs on the light.
In some embodiments, the plurality of light guides 30 may be configured to gradually increase the length of the light guides 30 as one moves away from the centerline of the light transmissive layer 20. That is, the surface formed by the free ends 32 of the light guide members 30 is a curved surface recessed toward the fixed end 31, and when the light guide members 30 are arranged in a multi-layer loop, the length from the outer loop to the inner loop is gradually reduced. As such, when the light guide 30 is acted upon by an external force on the side opposite to the light-transmissive layer 20 (head side), this gradually changing length arrangement further facilitates the light guide 30 to expand outward relative to the centerline of the light-transmissive layer 20, thereby further plucking the hair below the light-emitting device, further reducing the negative effects due to hair blockage. In addition, the concave curved surface of the head side of the light guide member 30 is arranged to be more suitable for the shape of the head of a user, so that the light guide member is more comfortable to wear and has better fitting degree with the scalp.
The light source 10 in this embodiment is mainly used for emitting low-frequency near-infrared light, and has a wavelength range of 600 nm to 1100nm, and in actual use, an LED bulb, a laser bulb, or another bulb capable of emitting near-infrared light may be used according to production requirements. The light source section 10 may be any of the above-described bulbs, or a plurality of bulbs may be placed on one circuit board to form a light source layer for use, and the light source section 10 shown in fig. 2 is a light source layer formed by a circuit board having a plurality of bulbs.
Fig. 3 illustrates a schematic structural view of a light emitting device for transcranial light regulation according to another embodiment of the present disclosure, and descriptions of similar components in fig. 2 are omitted herein to avoid redundancy. As shown in fig. 3, the light emitting device may further include an elastic member 40 connected to a side (lower side in fig. 3) of the light source section 10 opposite to the light-transmissive layer 20. The elastic member 40 may be implemented in various manners, including but not limited to a spring, an elastic material layer, etc., so that the portion composed of the light source 10, the light-transmitting layer 20, and the light guide 30 can be stretched under the pressure from the head, thereby further improving the adaptability of the light-emitting device to different head shapes of users.
In order to reduce the influence of the external environment on the light emitting device and protect the components of the light emitting device, the light emitting device may further include a housing 50, where the housing 50 is used to accommodate the light source 10, the light-transmitting layer 20 and the elastic member 40, so that the light source 10, the light-transmitting layer 20 and the elastic member 40 move inside the housing 50 based on the telescopic property of the elastic member 40 when the free end 32 of the light guide 30 is acted by an external force. Meanwhile, the housing 50 has a first opening through which the light guide 30 fixed to the light-transmissive layer 20 protrudes. In this way, the expansion and contraction direction by the elastic member 40 can be restricted, and the light source unit 10, the light-transmitting layer 20, and the light guide 30 can be reduced from wobbling.
In some embodiments, a heat dissipation layer 60 may be further connected to an end (a side far from the head, i.e., a lower side in fig. 3) of the elastic member 40 opposite to the light source unit 10, for dissipating heat from the light source unit 10, the heat dissipation layer 60 is fixed in the housing 50, so as to ensure that the temperature of the light emitting device during operation is not too high, and the heat dissipation layer 60 may be air-cooled or water-cooled, i.e., implemented by a fan or a water-cooled heat sink. The heat dissipation layer 60 is disposed away from the head, so as to avoid various heat dissipation mechanisms causing discomfort to the head or even interference with physiological signals of the head (such as blood oxygen signals).
In some embodiments, the head ring 100 is configured to be worn on the head of a user, and because it is unobstructed, the user can clearly view and adjust the head region corresponding to the light-emitting device to achieve targeted position adjustment. The head ring 100 may be preferably made of an elastic material to be adapted to different head circumferences of different users, and generates an inward contraction force against the head ring in a state that the head ring is expanded by the outer contour of the head when the user wears the head ring, so that the head ring 100 can be more firmly and closely attached to the head of the user, and the head ring 100 is prevented from being separated from the head due to shaking of the head. In some embodiments, the headband 100 may be replaced with a helmet, headband, or elastic headgear, among other devices configured for wearing on the head.
The carrier 200 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure may be fixed to the head ring 100, as shown in fig. 1, and the light emitting device 300 is fixed to the carrier 200. Fig. 4 shows a schematic structural diagram of a carrier 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the carrier device 200 may generally include a base 201 and at least one branch arm 202. The base 201 is fixed on the head ring 100 through the side arm 101 (as shown in fig. 1), one end of the side arm 101 is fixed on the base 201 of the carrying device 200, and the other end is fixed on the head ring 100, so that the relative position between the carrying device 200 and the head ring 100 is fixed, and the light-emitting device 300 carried on the carrying device 200 can irradiate on the area where the head of the user is fixed when the user wears the head ring 100. In some embodiments, the side arms 101 are arched and configured to adapt to the shape of the head of the user, so that the user can wear the carrying device 200 more comfortably, and can be made of a rigid material with a certain elasticity, and can be elastically deformed according to different head shapes of the user while supporting the carrying device to adapt to different head shapes of the user. In some embodiments, the number of the side arms 101 may not be limited to the one shown in fig. 1, and the fixing between the carrier 200 and the head ring 100 may also be implemented by providing a plurality of side arms 101, so that the fixing between the two is more stable, and the carrier 200 is prevented from being detached from the head ring 100 in case of the breakage of a single side arm 101.
As shown in fig. 4, one end of each branch arm 202 of the carrying device 200 is pivotably connected to the base 201 by a first biasing member (not shown in fig. 4), and the branch arms 202 can be folded inward by the first biasing member. In this manner, in the case where the branch arm 202 is expanded by the outer contour of the head, the first biasing member exerts an inward collapsing force against it, so that the branch arm 202 together with the light emitting device 300 arranged thereon can be made to more firmly and closely fit the head of the user, and detachment of the branch arm 202 from the head due to shaking of the head can be prevented. In some embodiments, the first biasing member may be a resilient knuckle or torsion spring. As shown in fig. 4, the plurality of branch arms 202 may be in a claw-type arrangement so as to be more firmly clamped to the head, and so that the light emitting devices 200 scattered on the respective branch arms 202 can be directed to illuminate different regions of the head.
In some embodiments, the branch arm 202 may be made of a hard material with certain elasticity, and the shape thereof may be adapted to the shape of the head of the user, so that the light emitting device 300 fixed on the branch arm 202 may be irradiated to the subdivided head regions of the user, such as, but not limited to, the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, the occipital lobe, etc., as required, to achieve the targeted light control effect corresponding to the brain function.
In some embodiments, branch arm 202 may employ a segmented arrangement. That is, branch arm 202 may have multiple joints articulated to each other to enable more flexible retraction. As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the branch arm 202 may include an upper branch arm 2021 and a lower branch arm 2022, one end of the upper branch arm 2021 is pivotally connected to the base 201 by a first biasing member 2011, and the lower branch arm 2022 is pivotally connected to the other end of the upper branch arm 2021 by a second biasing member 2023, so that the lower branch arm 2022 is folded inward by the second biasing member 2023, so as to ensure a closer fit when the user wears the device, and at the same time, the device may be adapted to different head styles of different users, thereby improving the adaptability of the device. Although a double joint arrangement is shown in fig. 5 and 6, the structure of branch arm 202 is not limited thereto as long as adjacent joints are pivotally connected and respective biasing members are provided to maintain the collapsed state without external force.
Fig. 5 shows the separating arm 202 in a closed position when not subjected to external forces, and fig. 6 shows the separating arm 202 in an open position when subjected to external forces while the user is wearing the device.
In some embodiments, the carrying device may also be formed by at least a portion of the head ring 100, as shown in fig. 7, that is, the light emitting device 300 is fixed on at least a portion of the inner wall of the head ring 100, so that the forehead region of the head of the user can be directly irradiated by the light emitting device 300 fixed on the inner wall of the head ring 100 when the user wears the head ring, so as to achieve a targeted irradiation effect. In some embodiments, the light emitting device 300 may be simultaneously fixed on the inner wall of the head ring 100 on the basis of the fixing of the light emitting device 300 by the carrying device 200 fixed on the head ring 100 as shown in fig. 1, so as to realize that when the branch arms of the carrying device 200 cannot extend to the front, back or side areas of the head of the user, the front, back or side areas of the head of the user are simultaneously irradiated by the light emitting device 300 fixed on the inner wall of the head ring 100.
