Description

LED light irradiator {LED light therapy device}

The present invention relates to an LED light irradiator, and more specifically, to an LED light irradiator that has a folding structure and can be used safely and conveniently.

In general, phototherapy, which treats skin beauty or diseases, selectively regenerates skin tissue using the principle of promoting biochemical reactions within the skin by irradiating light to the skin using various light sources such as sunlight, lasers, and lamps. Alternatively, it is an optical medical technology that treats or improves damaged skin through destruction.

Unlike high-power lasers, the LED light source can irradiate a wide area of diseased areas with appropriate light output, and skin treatment technology using the LED light source is similar to the principle of converting sunlight into plant cells through chlorophyl in plants. By irradiating an LED light source, a photo-biochemical reaction is induced between skin cells.

As prior literature on light irradiation devices using such LED light sources, an LED mask is introduced in Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0137917 and Korea Registered Publication No. 20-0491167. The above prior literature forms a mask that is easy for the user to wear on the face, and a plurality of LED light sources are disposed on the inner wall of the mask body. This LED mask has the effect of improving facial skin by evenly emitting light sources of various wavelengths on the facial area when the user wears it on the face.

In addition, as other prior literature on light irradiation devices using LED light sources, Korean Patent No. 10-1832909 and Korean Patent No. 10-2209429 introduce an LED helmet. The above prior literature is in the form of a helmet worn by the user on the head, and a plurality of LED light sources are disposed on the inner wall of the helmet body. This type of LED helmet has the effect of improving the scalp and preventing hair loss by emitting a light source to the scalp and hair when the user wears it on the head.

However, the LED light irradiators of these prior literature can only treat or improve the skin of specific areas, such as the face or scalp, and have limitations in that they cannot be applied to various parts of the body.

In addition, the LED light irradiator of the prior literature can be used while the user is wearing it directly on the body, so it has the disadvantage of being inconvenient to use and having to deal with a feeling of alienation or resistance due to contact between the treatment device and the body. In addition, the conventional LED light irradiator has the disadvantage of being complicated in structure and use because a separate wearing means such as a belt must be provided to be worn on the body. Furthermore, because the LED light irradiators of prior literature are worn on the body, the LED light source may come into direct contact with the skin, and in this case, there is a risk of damaging the skin.

In addition, the LED light irradiators of prior literature are stored while maintaining the shape of a mask or helmet, so they have the disadvantage of taking up a lot of space and being inconvenient to store. In addition, since LED light irradiators in the form of masks or helmets are almost impossible to carry, there is a limitation that they can only be used within the home.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0137917 Korea Registration Office No. 20-0491167 Korean Patent No. 10-1832909 Korean Patent No. 10-2209429
