Description

{PORTABLE RHINITIS TREATMENT DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a portable rhinitis treatment device, and more particularly, to a portable rhinitis treatment device which is easy to carry and has a small LED illuminated by irradiating light to maximize the therapeutic effect of rhinitis by directly contacting the inside of the nose .

In general, rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucosa inside the nose, which is a respiratory tract, and refers to inflammatory diseases of the nasal mucosa accompanied by at least one symptom of rash, sneezing, itching and nasal obstruction.

Rhinitis is divided into acute and chronic, other hypertrophic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, and allergic rhinitis. Acute rhinitis is infectious rhinitis, which is often called cold. Chronic rhinitis is largely classified as infectious and noninfective depending on the cause. Causes of noninfectious chronic rhinitis include allergic rhinitis, anatomical abnormalities of the nasal cavity, unbalanced autonomic nervous system, hormonal abnormalities, drugs, and emotional instability.

Infection with these rhinitis can cause problems such as headache and attention deficit, which can cause greater discomfort. In addition, infants may develop breathing difficulties and become at risk.

The cause of allergic rhinitis is different depending on the cause, but in the case of allergic rhinitis, it is treated by avoiding avoiding the causative antigen, drug therapy using antihistamine, topical steroid, anti-cough agent, anticholin spray, and immunotherapy. In the case of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, topical spray steroids can be used for medical treatment. Surgical treatment includes nasal turbinate, turbinate, laser surgery, and high frequency surgery. For vasomotor rhinitis, topical steroids or anticholinergic sprays are used.

However, although these therapeutic methods are convenient, they may cause side effects due to misuse and abuse, and they may lead to drug-induced rhinitis during continuous use, so special care is required. In order to solve this problem, there is a mechanism for directly injecting saline or drug into the affected nose. However, this method may also lead to misuse and abuse, and liquid substances may cause irritation to the inside of the nose and cause another disease.

The present invention provides a portable and easy-to-use portable rhinitis treatment device in which light is irradiated by inserting an LED into the nose and maximizing the therapeutic effect of rhinitis by directly contacting the inside of the nose with the LED.

The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

In addition, the portable rhinitis treatment device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a control unit 150 and a communication unit 160. The portable rhinitis treatment device 100 can be inserted into the nose of the user to illuminate the inside of the user's nose with the LED light source part 110. [

The LED light source 110 is inserted into the nose of the user at the time of use and irradiates light inside the nose of the user. At least two LED light sources 110 may be provided to be inserted into the nose of the user. The LED light source unit 110 uses an LED as a light source. The LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a diode that emits excess energy into light when the injected electrons and holes are recombined, and has advantages of low voltage and low power . Therefore, the LED light source unit 110 has high energy efficiency, such as high light conversion efficiency and low power consumption, has a long life, and can form a low-voltage and low-power light source. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can include all kinds of devices using an electroluminescent effect such as an OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) in addition to an LED (Light Emitting Diode).

In particular, the LED light source unit 110 can irradiate the far infrared rays inside the nose of the user. That is, the LED light source unit 110 is provided with a red LED, so that the infrared light of a long wavelength (for example, 2500 nm or more) region can be irradiated inside the nose. Far infrared rays have the property of being absorbed when reaching the object because of the long wavelength, and the penetration is strong and the inside of the nose is easily warmed. This heat helps to eliminate germs that cause various diseases in the nose, and it helps to expand the capillaries and help the blood circulation and cell tissue formation. In addition, if it touches the moisture and protein molecules constituting the cell, it can contribute to activation of the cell tissue inside the nose by shaking the cells about 2,000 times per minute.

That is, the connection part 130 can be bent so that the user can properly bend the connection part 130 and insert the LED light part 110 into the user's nose. The connection portion 130 may be formed of a variety of materials such as metal and plastic, and may be formed of a material such as silicone or soft plastic that is harmless to the human body, so as not to adversely affect the nose of the user.

The head mounting portion 140 can be worn on the user's head and supports the LED light source portion 110 and the like. That is, the portable brachyma therapy device 100 is mounted on the head by the head mounting portion 140. The head mount 140 may be adjustable in length and may also be bendable by an external force so that the head mount 140 may be fixed while surrounding the user's head. Further, it is also possible to place the head mounting portion 140 by the user's operation, rather than by the user's head.

The control unit 150 controls each part of the portable rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 and can control the LED light source unit 110 and the power supply unit 120 in particular. For example, the control unit 150 can turn on / off the power supply unit 120 by the user's operation and control the LED light source unit 110 to adjust the light irradiation time, illumination intensity, and the like. The controller 150 may be a microcontroller unit (MCU) having a memory for embedding a program. That is, the MCU acts as a brain and controls. The microcontroller unit can incorporate ROM and RAM circuits and is fabricated in chip form. At this time, the memory provided in the controller 150 may store a control program for controlling the LED light source 110.

Commonly used microcontroller units are classified into 8-bit cores, 16-bit cores, and 32-bit cores depending on the amount of bits to be calculated at one time. 8-bit cores are typical of AVR series and 8051 series. The 16-bit core is the S12 series and the x86 series, and the 32-bit core is the ARM7 series and the ARM Cortex-M3 series. A control unit 150 employing a microcontroller unit is configured using an AVR series developed by Atmel. Atmel AVR is AVR UC3, AVR XMEGA, mega AVR, and tiny AVR series. As described above, since AVR is one of the MCUs, it is possible to design an efficient portable rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 because the central processing unit and the small capacity Flash ROM are integrated in one IC.

In addition, the portable rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 can be operated wirelessly. In the case of operating wirelessly, the portable rhinitis treatment device 100 may be provided with a communication unit 160 capable of transmitting and receiving signals with an external radio control device 200. That is, the portable rhinitis treatment device 100 can be operated by an external radio manipulator 200.

The wireless remote controller 200 includes a steering input unit 210 capable of controlling the ON / OFF of the power supply unit 120 and the control of the LED light source unit 110 and a control unit 210 for generating various control signals according to the steering input unit 210.
