Description

[0001] The present invention relates to an Otitis media treatment device using LED light source,

The present invention relates to a device for treating otitis media, and more particularly to a device for treating otitis media using an LED light source having a structure in which light emitted from an LED light source can be directly irradiated through a structure in which a light source is inserted into an ear canal of an ear will be.

In general, the human ear is divided anatomically into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. Among them, the middle part is called the middle ear. Quot; Otitis media occurs mainly in children, but it often occurs in adults and occurs in winter and early spring.

It is known that the cause of otitis media is that otitis media is caused by infection with viral or bacterial diseases, dysfunction of the esophagus (eustachian tube), allergy, environmental, physical and genetic factors, .

Especially, otitis media is a kind of otitis media in the middle ear cavity without acute symptoms such as otorrhea and fever. It may occur without acute otitis media or without infection. 96% of infants are known to have at least one otitis in children up to 3 years of age. It is known that otitis media is predominant in 2/3 of children with acute otitis media. 80 ~ 90% of exudative otitis media is naturally remodeled within 3 months, but the rest is affected by chronic exudative otitis media with persistent effusion for 3 months or more. In this case, due to concerns about complications, many antibiotics tend to be used. If not, surgical treatment is required under general anesthesia.

It has been described that otorrheic otitis media is a dysfunction of the diverticula due to various causes and that the permeability of the capillary blood vessels is increased due to edema and vasoconstriction in the middle ear mucosa, cytokines are involved.

Many researchers have conducted studies on otitis media and inflammatory cytokines. For example, Johnson et al. Reported that interleukin-6 and TNF alpha expression plays an important role in the development of otitis media in an otitis media model , Jung et al. Reported that prostaglandin E2, leukotriene C4, and arachidonic acid alone can induce otitis media. Kariry et al. Have shown that IL-12 affects the production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma, And IL-10 is associated with the viscosity of the exudates. Kawata et al. Reported that prostaglandin acts as an important factor in the inflammatory process of otitis media. Herman et al. Reported that prostaglandin affects middle ear epithelium ion pump and causes otitis media. In addition, TNF-alpha and inhibitor TNF- pattern-recognition receptor-mediated cytokine mRNA expression.

Infrared rays (NIR) are usually longer than wavelengths of visible light (Wisible Wave) and shorter than micro wave (0.75 ~ It is known that the infrared rays penetrate into the skin of the human body and help molecules metabolize human cells to stimulate themselves by stimulation by resonance motion to help metabolism. do. In other words, through the resonance, 70% of the organic compounds in the body of the water through the metabolism of cells, as well as to produce the effect is said to exert. The nearest infrared ray (wavelength: 0.8 to 1.4 μm) is the nearest infrared ray (800 mm, color temperature is 3620 K to 2070 K) and the near infrared ray is the infrared ray whose wavelength is the nearest to the sun radiant heat generated at the temperature of 1800 ° C. to 2200 ° C. , A ray of the shortest wavelength closest to the sunlight that transmits heat waves only to the object without heating the air. It is used for medical use for pain relief, muscle relaxation, increase of blood supply and removal of wastes by using the physical properties of near infrared rays, that is, it is used for relieving Muscle Spasm related to damage or inflammation and accelerating the removal of waste materials in the human body Not only has the effect of promoting the healing of inflammation (arthritis, inflammatory diseases, etc.) but also permeates up to 6mm of subcutaneous layer of skin tissue, and is excellent in heat effect and produces nitric oxide and contributes greatly to the treatment of diseases.

 The infrared ray irradiator used for treating otitis media or rhinitis in the otolaryngology area has a simple portable device as shown in Fig. 1, which costs tens of thousands of won, but a device having a timer function for controlling the time used in hospitals is more than 1 million won , Which can be used to treat exudative or chronic otitis media and the cost of treatment is covered by health insurance.

As an embodiment, it is possible to designate the irradiation time as well as turn on / off the power with a single button in order to easily configure the input unit, or it may be constituted only by the power on / off button and the irradiation time setting button. For this purpose, when the button is touched or pressed, light is emitted from the LED light source 110 for a predetermined treatment time by the control unit, or light is irradiated for a predetermined time each time the button is touched or pressed once, The control unit may control the irradiation time of the LED light source unit 110 in consideration of the number of touches or depressions through the input unit according to the selection of the treatment time.

The power supply unit is a component for supplying driving power to the otitis media therapy apparatus 100 including the LED light source unit 110 according to a driving signal inputted through the input unit. Any known power source may be used, When implemented in battery form, it is possible to ensure easy portability.

The control unit is a component that controls the entire otitis media treatment apparatus 100 to control the LED light source unit 110 to irradiate light. The controller controls the on / off operation of the device according to the user's operation through the input unit, And controls the light to be irradiated to the affected part safely during the treatment time desired by the user through the control. The microcomputer may be a microcomputer in one embodiment. As an example of driving control of the LED light source unit 110 by the control unit, it is possible to detect whether the light source is irradiated or not, the irradiation time of the light as well as the operation of the LED light source unit 110 due to the overheating of the temperature sensor. The driving of the LED light source unit 110 can be controlled in such a manner that the operation of the LED module 111 is automatically stopped when the calorific value sensed by the temperature sensor exceeds a predetermined calorific value have. Also, the irradiation time of the light may be adjusted by a predetermined unit of time reflecting the user's selection by the input unit as described above by the control unit.

The main body 120 may further include at least one of the display unit 122, the operation indicator 123, and the communication unit, as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B. The display means is a component functioning to allow a user to confirm at least one of the wavelength and the irradiation time of the light emitted from the LED light source unit 110 from the outside of the main body 120, If the input unit is a touch type, it may be formed integrally with the input unit. The operation indicator may be any known configuration as long as the user can know whether the LED light source 110 is driven. In an exemplary embodiment, when the LED light source 110 is driven, And so on. The communication unit is a component that can transmit and receive an external signal, and the user can operate the otitis media treatment apparatus 100 by transmitting a signal to the control unit through the communication unit without passing through the input unit. The communication unit can be applied to all known technical configurations capable of short-range wireless communication. In one embodiment, a Bluetooth system can be used.

If the communication unit is further included in the main body 120, the otitis media treatment apparatus 100 of the present invention may further include an external controller capable of transmitting / receiving the communication unit and controlling the control unit. The external controller may be a separate device, Can be implemented as an embedded application.

The connection support part 130 connects the LED light source part 110 and the main body 120 in such a manner that the LED support part 130 supports the LED light source part 110 on the ear canal of the ear and connects the LED light source part 110 and the main body 120 to the input part, Any type of connecting means known in physical and electrical connection can be used as a component that allows electrical connection as well as physical connection to operate the LED light source 110 through the LEDs.

The column member 142 is a component integrally formed on the lower center side of the lid member 141 and serving to fix the holding unit 140 to the LED light source unit 110 and / or the support member 131, As shown in the figure, the upper and lower diameters may be the same, or the lower diameter may be larger, or the length of the pillar member 142 may vary depending on the shape such as the length of the housing of the LED light source unit .

In particular, by varying the overall diameter of the gusset member 141 in consideration of the diameter of the outer ear of the user, the holding unit 140 can be formed with different sizes as shown in FIG. 5B, and large three, and can be provided as a set. In this case, since the holding unit 140 having a proper diameter can be used according to the diameter of the ear canal of the user, the ease of use of the otitis media treatment apparatus 100 can be improved.

6 is a use state diagram of an otitis media treatment apparatus 100 using an LED light source according to an embodiment of the present invention.
