Description

Technical Field [0001] The present invention relates to a lamp cartridge for a therapeutic pulsed light beam irradiator and a method for manufacturing the lamp cartridge.

The present invention relates to a lamp cartridge and a method of manufacturing the lamp cartridge, and more particularly, to a lamp cartridge incorporating a light source lamp detachably coupled to a hand piece of a pulsed light ray irradiator for skin treatment and a method of manufacturing the same. .

The therapeutic pulsed light beam irradiator emits pulsed light rays emitted from a flash lamp or a xenon lamp which generates a pulsed light having a wide band (350 nm to 1200 nm) to skin to perform skin treatment It is also called an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) irradiator.

The pulsed light beam irradiator typically irradiates pulsed light emitted from a flash lamp or a xenon lamp through a filter to a specific range of skin by filtering with a pulse light having a wavelength range (350 nm to 1200 nm) Depending on the purpose, a pulsed light beam of a specific wavelength or a specific range of wavelengths is selected and examined through replacement of the filter or the like.

Such a pulsed light beam irradiator is generally composed of a main body to which main power is inputted, various function buttons and a display, a main body for controlling various functions, a handpiece which is moved in contact with the skin, Piece to Probe.

A reflection plate forming the conventional case of the lamp cartridge reflecting structure is mirror finishing (mirror polishing) stainless (stainless steel) of a plate material or heat resistant synthetic resin material rigid Teflon ^{[Teflon ®, PTFE, polytetra fluoro} ethylene] surface treatment using a material Plates are being used.

In the case of mirror polished stainless steel plate, it is difficult to control the reflection ability by the surface treatment. Since excessive reflection of pulsed light and excessive irradiation or overheating of the light due to excessive irradiation, There is a risk of harm.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily carry out the present invention. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. In order to clearly illustrate the present invention, parts not related to the description are omitted, and similar parts are denoted by like reference characters throughout the specification. And a detailed description thereof will be omitted to omit descriptions of portions that can be readily understood by those skilled in the art. Throughout the specification and claims, where a section includes a constituent, it does not exclude other elements unless specifically stated otherwise, but may include other elements.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, It should be understood that there may be various equivalents and variations that may be substituted at the time of filing. In the present specification, a xenon lamp as a light source lamp is exemplarily described as a preferred embodiment, but the present invention is applied to various light source lamps that emit one or both of visible light and invisible light, The present invention is not limited to medically defined therapies but can be applied to skin related hair removal, skin regeneration, reduction of wrinkles, removal of vascular damage, improvement of skin tone (facial flushing, dullness, fine lines, pigmentation, , Acne treatments, scalp treatments, and other skin-related medical treatments and cosmetic procedures.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, a main power source is input, various function buttons and a display are provided, and a handle is connected to a main body (not shown) for controlling various functions, The present invention relates to a lamp cartridge 100 detachably coupled to a handpiece 200 for irradiating light to a treatment area.

The treatment pulse light beam irradiating apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that a high voltage is applied in a state where the filter 150 part of the cartridge of the handpiece is placed on the treatment area of the skin and a power supply of DC 800 ~ (Pulse light) for about 7 ms in the case of a xenon lamp and emits light (pulse light) close to natural light in the case of a xenon lamp, and the xenon lamp and the filter The pulse light in the vertical direction is directly passed through the filter to be irradiated to the treatment area of the skin, and the pulse light in the three-sided direction of the reflection plate is reflected on the surface of the reflection plate so that the pulse light in the filter direction passes through the filter, .

In particular, among the light source lamps, the temperature of the pulse light emitted momentarily in the xenon lamp is very high (i.e., approximately 200 ° C), and the ambient temperature is further increased by flashing. Accordingly, if heat is deformed on the surface of the reflection plate, the reflection of light is accelerated and the reflection plate is accelerated to shorten the service life of the reflection plate. In addition, due to the heating in the cartridge, The performance deteriorates and the life of the entire cartridge is shortened.

If the lifetime of the cartridge is not properly changed, the treatment effect may be reduced or the user may be injured due to overheating. Therefore, the reflector itself is required to be heat-resistant, and the lamp cartridge is required to have a heat-dissipating structure capable of emitting heat to the outside, so that the lamp cartridge should be designed to include an appropriate heat dissipation structure.

In addition, since the pulse light emitted from the light source lamp contains a light component which is not helpful for treatment or harmful light, it may cause pain to the skin or damage the skin during direct irradiation. Therefore, in designing the lamp cartridge, It should be designed so as to have a sealing structure against light so that the pulsed light is not leaked to the outside, and it should be designed in a workable form in manufacturing.

Accordingly, the lamp cartridge of the present invention is designed in consideration of workability in manufacturing, as well as such heat resistance, heat radiation, and sealing structure.
