Description

Light massage device {LIGHT MASSAGE DEVICE}

The present invention relates to a massage device, and to a light massager that implements light therapy using invisible light such as infrared rays.

Recently, massage machines have been widely used. Massagers are classified into a full body massage device for massaging the entire body and a local massage device for massaging parts of the body. In the general-purpose massage device, a chair-type device is mainly used, and the local massage device is made of a belt type or a stick type to be suitable for various body parts, and is attached or contacted to a massage target site. Accordingly, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1688914 (prior art document 1) discloses a massage mechanism that applies vibration by contacting the skin. However, in the prior art document 1, there is a disadvantage of performing massage only by vibration.

In addition, recently, studies on the efficacy of infrared rays have been actively conducted to study the so-called phototherapy effect. Accordingly, a method of applying to a user's body using infrared rays or ultraviolet rays in a massager is being studied.

Accordingly, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1518907 (Prior Art Document 2) discloses a content of irradiating infrared rays having a wavelength of 600 to 700 nm onto a user's skin. However, in the prior art document 1, the wavelength band is very wide, causing a problem of mixing and applying red visible light and infrared light. Furthermore, since the user cannot select the main wavelength band of infrared rays and the intensity of the applied light is also not possible, it is very insufficient to realize precise light therapy.

Hereinafter, a light massager according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 and 2 is a perspective view schematically showing a light massager according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to the drawings, the light massager 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is largely divided into a head unit 110 and a handle unit 120. The head unit 110 is formed with a light emitting unit 20 for applying visible or invisible light to the user and a sensing unit 10 (11; 12, 13, 14) for sensing a skin condition. In addition, the head portion 110 is connected through a neck 115 extending from the handle portion 120. A blower 51 for cooling may be inserted into the head unit 110.

The handle portion 120 is composed of a mounting portion 121 and a supporting portion 122. The mounting portion 121 is a portion that is mounted by a user when used, and a weight 122a is inserted at the bottom of the supporting portion 122, It is possible to mount the crest of the light massager. In FIG. 2, a power supply unit 40 is formed on one surface of the handle unit 120 to be used by applying a secondary battery or power. Reference numeral 44 denotes a terminal during charging, 41 a power switch, and 24a, 24b denote driving indicators. A vibrator 55 is inserted at the upper end of the handle unit 120 to apply vibration together when performing light massage.

Hereinafter, a light emitting unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 3 is a view specifically showing the light emitting unit in FIG. 1.

The light emitting unit 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention applies visible light or invisible light to a user. Invisible light is emitted by an infrared LED 21 or ultraviolet LED 22, and visible light is a visible light LED 23. Go out.

At this time, the infrared LED 21 emits infrared rays of 670 nm to 900 nm or 6.5 μm or more. This is to exclude the infrared interference absorption by hemoglobin at a wavelength of less than 670nm by the optical massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention to derive an optimal massage or treatment effect by infrared rays, moisture at wavelengths greater than 900nm It is to prevent light loss due to infrared absorption by, and also to prevent light loss due to moisture absorption by using far infrared rays of 6.5㎛ or more. At this time, it is also preferable to irradiate near infrared rays of 670 nm to 900 nm and far infrared rays of 6.5 μm or more for rapid light absorption.

At this time, it is necessary to control the appropriate irradiation amount of infrared rays according to the purpose of massage of the skin. Accordingly, in the LED light massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention, a value obtained by multiplying the infrared light intensity and the irradiation amount is defined as a light irradiation amount (J / cm2), and the light irradiation amount is limited to 0.5 to 3 J / cm2. When the light irradiation amount is less than 0.5 J / cm2, it is because activation of light-absorbing cells in the skin does not occur, and when the light irradiation amount exceeds 3 J / cm2, the over-irradiated light energy is rather the light of the skin light-absorbing cells. This is because the frequency of the inhibition phenomenon has increased rapidly.

In addition, in the study according to the present invention, it was confirmed that the degree of cell activation increases only when a constant rise is maintained before the photoinhibition phenomenon occurs, depending on the target cell. It derives a function for the cell activity of and increases the amount of light irradiation only while the differential value of the cell activity changes from positive to negative. In this embodiment, the cell activity is applied to the reference data collected by the control unit in advance, or applied based on the cell activity sensed by the sensor unit 10 to be described later. Accordingly, it is possible to apply different light irradiation doses according to various purposes.

On the other hand, the light massager 100 according to the present embodiment irradiates the light applied to the skin for light therapy by combining a pulse form or a continuous form. This is because a pulse shape or a continuous wave is required according to skin cells and light absorbers. Accordingly, in the LED patch 100 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 30 forms the length of the pulse relatively short at first, and when the set time has elapsed, the length of the pulse is formed relatively long, thereby allowing a strong pulse at the beginning. A large amount of photons that excite the pigment cells in the upper tissue layer of the skin are injected, and afterwards, the heat relaxation time of the skin cells is reflected to prevent side effects due to cell depletion at the center of the skin. Form a long length.

As described above, the light emitting unit 20 according to the present embodiment emits visible light together with invisible light or alone. That is, in a conventional infrared heating device, red color is often seen when used, but this is a phenomenon in which an infrared lamp does not emit only infrared light but has a wide wavelength band, so that adjacent red light is visible. Accordingly, in the case of the infrared LED 21 of the light emitting unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, only the wavelength band of the infrared region is provided, and the visible light emits visible light in a region where the wavelength band is separated by a set distance. This is because the light emitting unit 20 according to the present embodiment emits separate visible light having a target wavelength rather than visible light emitted as a by-product of infrared light or ultraviolet light to realize a separate visible light skin therapy.

At this time, the wavelength band of visible light should include at least one of yellow, green, and blue. It makes the skin absorb yellow visible light and uses it for skin complexion, redness and redness relief, redness relief, and initial shingles. It is used for improving skin sensitivity and soothing through green light, and blue light. Through this, it has a synergistic effect on sebaceous gland suppression, acne group destruction, and trouble calming.

However, the light emitted from the blue, green, and red-based bare chips or the light excited by the phosphor does not exist as a light peak, but exists in a certain band, and thus it is difficult to accurately target a target for treatment.

Therefore, in this embodiment, the visible light LED 23 is composed of a blue-based or violet-based LED bare chip, and the light emitted from the LED bare chip is excited by the quantum dot 23q to determine a target wavelength peak or a target wavelength band. To have. Accordingly, an accurate wavelength peak of visible light was derived to maximize the target light treatment effect. For example, for activation of the pigment phosphine, other wavelengths are excluded and an accurate wavelength peak of 620 nm is required. At this time, a peak of 620 nm was derived using a quantum dot. In this case, in this embodiment, a plurality of wavelength peaks derived by quantum dots may be used in combination to derive a plurality of target effects.

On the other hand, the light emitting unit according to this embodiment may further include an ultraviolet LED (22), the ultraviolet LED (22) to further include ultraviolet rays of 400nm or less by activating the epidermal cells as well as the activation of the epidermis cells by the above-mentioned infrared rays. We can plan together. At this time, the ultraviolet rays are also applied in the form of pulses for a set time, and then applied in the form of a continuous waveform to maintain the activation of the dermal layer of the skin, thereby allowing the infrared or visible light to reach the dermis of the skin more smoothly.

Hereinafter, the operation and function of the present invention will be described in more detail. 4 is a configuration diagram of a light massager according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 is a configuration diagram of the sensor unit of FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a configuration diagram of the control unit of FIG. 4.

Referring to the drawings, the light massage device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a light emitting unit 20, a control unit 30, and a power supply unit 40 as essential components, here the sensor unit 10 and the driving unit 50 ) May be additionally included.

The sensor unit 10 includes at least one of a CCD sensor 11, a humidity sensor 12, a temperature sensor 13, and a pressure sensor 14, and collects the environment before the operation or use of the light drinker. Make a more efficient light massage.

The control unit 30 includes a light emission control module 31 for controlling the emission of visible or invisible light as described above. In addition, the control unit 30 is a current application module 32 for applying a micro-current when driving, a temperature control module 33 for controlling the temperature rise action, a cooling control module 34 for controlling the blower described above and vibration during driving It comprises at least one of the vibration control module 35 for applying.

At this time, the current applying module 32 may be controlled to apply a current to the skin for a complementary time and when the above-described pulse or continuous wave light is irradiated to the skin. That is, it is intended to promote the current activation and photo activation of the skin. However, in the case of some target cells, it is found that when both light and microcurrent are applied together to increase the effect, it is needless to say that both are applied simultaneously.

As described above, in the present specification and drawings, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed, and although specific terms are used, they are merely used in a general sense to easily describe the technical contents of the present invention and to help understand the invention. , It is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
