Description

Far Infrared Therapy Device {FAR INFRARED THERAPY}

The present invention relates to a far-infrared ray treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a far-infrared ray treatment apparatus configured to effectively release far-infrared rays by constructing a thin-film emitting plate composed of far-infrared ray emitting components separately from a heating plate.

As is well known, when light emitted from sunlight or incandescent objects is scattered in the spectrum, it is located outside the end of the red spectrum, which is called infrared light.

Such infrared rays are referred to as infrared rays having a wavelength of 0.75 to 3 µm, and infrared rays having a wavelength of 3 to 25 µm are simply infrared rays, and those having 25 µm or more are called far infrared rays. Infrared rays are characterized by having a stronger heat action than visible or ultraviolet rays, and are therefore also called hot rays. Radiant heat transmitted from the sun or the heating element to the space is mainly caused by infrared rays. Intended for industrial or medical use, infrared bulbs emitting strong infrared rays are currently on the market.

Most of the light from ordinary tungsten incandescent bulbs is also infrared, and visible light is only 2-3% of the total amount of emitted energy. Tungsten filament bulbs are only near-infrared light sources of up to about 3.5 μm, and infrared sources in a wider wavelength range include heated black bodies (black body: 0 to 3,300 ° C.) and nernst lamps. Nernst lamps emit infrared rays up to 30 µm and are widely used as a reference infrared source for laboratories. In addition, infrared lasers with very high monochromatic and high intensity are being utilized as infrared sources for research, industry, and medical use. 0.83 μm (GaAs semiconductor laser), 1.3 μm, 1.06 μm (Nd-YAG or Ndglass laser), 2.8 μm (HF laser), 5 μm (CO laser), 10.6 μm (CO 2 laser), 16 μm (SF6 laser) In addition to the infrared laser that emits light, H2O, D2O, HCN, ethanol laser and the like having oscillation wavelengths in the dozens to hundreds of micrometer far-infrared regions are representative infrared lasers.

Infrared rays have a strong thermal effect because the frequency of the infrared rays is about the same as the natural frequency of the molecules constituting the substance, and when infrared rays strike the substance, they cause electromagnetic resonance and cause infrared light waves. Is due to the absorption of energy into the material effectively. In particular, liquid or gaseous substances strongly absorb infrared rays of a wavelength specific to each substance, and are used as a means of accurately estimating the chemical composition, reaction process, and molecular structure of the substance by examining the absorption spectrum. This is called. In addition, since infrared rays have a long wavelength, they have less scattering effect due to fine particles than ultraviolet rays or visible rays, and thus they transmit relatively well in the air.

Therefore, the infrared light is irradiated to a specific target material and causes electromagnetic resonance, so the energy of infrared light wave is effectively absorbed by the target material. Therefore, it is irradiated to the affected area to restore the immune function and anti-inflammatory action. Far-infrared therapy has been developed.

However, the far infrared treatment device equipped with the commercially available infrared bulbs is designed to irradiate the specific affected area with infrared rays generated from the coil in the same manner as incandescent lamps, but because it generates an infrared wavelength weaker than that of the living body, other far infrared ray generating materials (ocher) , Charcoal, elvan) has a problem that the effect is less than the infrared wavelength generated.

In addition, by applying an inorganic element (for example, Fe, Zn, Cu, Se, etc.) around the infrared light bulb, there is a product for generating the reflected wave reflected on the inorganic element in the infrared light generation more similar to the human body wavelength. In addition, since the wavelength of the infrared light reflected by the inorganic element is not very similar to that of the human body, there is a problem that the therapeutic effect is very insignificant.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described state of the art, by attaching a far-infrared emitting plate made of loess and far-infrared emitting components such as charcoal and elvan, as a thin film on the front of the heating plate to effectively emit far infrared rays similar to the wavelength of the human body. Its purpose is to provide a far infrared treatment device.

In addition, the front of the control box 6 is formed with a temperature control operation unit 12 for adjusting the temperature of the heating plate for far-infrared emission, and is provided with a time adjustment operation unit 14 for controlling the far infrared emission time.

Meanwhile, a direction change pipe 16 is provided at a position extending from an upper surface of the control box 6 in the body part 4 so as to change a direction of far-infrared radiation, and at an upper end of the direction change pipe 16. In order to irradiate the far-infrared rays in one direction, the head 18 formed in the shape of a lampshade is configured.

In addition, inside the head 18 is configured a heating unit 20 composed of a plurality of coils so as to be heated by the power supplied through a wire (not shown) configured in the body portion 4 and The far infrared ray emitting plate 22 is attached to the front side of the heating part 20.

At this time, the far infrared ray emission plate 22 is composed of far-infrared ray-generating components such as ocher, charcoal, and elvan, and will be described briefly below.

First, the far-infrared generating component materials such as ocher, true charcoal and elvan are pulverized into fine powder. And the well-known thickening material (material which increases viscosity) is mixed with this powder raw material, it mixes, and it puts into the metal mold | die of a specific shape.

The mold having a specific shape is preferably composed of a round plate mold in the form of a medal, and when the round plate is completed, the mold is dried at room temperature for a predetermined time. As a result, the far infrared ray emitting plate 22 is completed. The far infrared ray emitting plate 22 manufactured as described above is attached to the front surface of the heating unit 20. When the heating unit 20 is heated by powering on, the far infrared ray emission generated from the emitting plate 22 is activated.
