That is, in this case, the near-infrared LEDs 31 and the far-infrared LEDs 32 are alternately arranged in each row.

The near-infrared LED 31 and the far-infrared LED 32 may be a chip-type LED in which a chip-shaped LED element is mounted on a small PCB substrate, or a dip-type LED in the form of a cylindrical lamp with a round or flat top. However, when a chip-type LED is applied, a lens 34 that diffuses light is installed at the end of the installation hole 25 of the inner band 20 where the near-infrared LED 31 or the far-infrared LED 32 is installed. ) through which the near-infrared light or far-infrared light can be diffused and irradiated. At this time, the lens 34 is attached to the top of the LED housing 33 in which the near-infrared LED 31 or far-infrared LED 32, and the PCB board 35 are embedded, and after being modularized, the installation hole of the inner band 20 ( 25) and the installation groove 15 of the outer band 10 is preferably inserted and installed. In addition, it is preferable that the lens 34 protrudes slightly inward than the inner surface of the inner band 20, that is, toward the user's neck, and contacts the user's neck so that the entire amount of light can be absorbed by the skin without loss of light.

A plurality of low-frequency vibrators 40 (eight in this embodiment) may be arranged in the longitudinal middle portion of the inner band 20, and approximately 1 to 10 may be installed. The low-frequency vibrator 40 is installed to protrude at a predetermined height to the outside of the installation hole 25 of the inner band 20, and transmits the vibration while in direct contact with the user's neck. At this time, the protrusion height of the low-frequency vibrator 40 is designed to protrude to an optimal height that can effectively transmit the vibration without causing discomfort to the user.

The near-infrared LED 31 , the far-infrared LED 32 , and the low-frequency vibrator 40 are electrically connected to the control unit 50 and operate by receiving power from the control unit 50 . In order to electrically connect the controller 50, the near-infrared LED 31, the far-infrared LED 32, and the low-frequency vibrator 40, the inner band 20 or the outer band 10 has a connector 52 of the controller 50. A connection terminal 55 to be connected may be installed. The control unit 50 may be provided with a button or a knob, a battery, a charging terminal, etc. for controlling the operation of the near-infrared LED 31, the far-infrared LED 32, and the low-frequency vibrator 40.

On the other hand, since the joint of the inner band 20 and the outer band 10 must be installed while wrapping around the neck, both ends of the inner band 20 and the outer band 10, or the inner band 20 and the outer band 10 Either end of either side may be detachably connected to each other by a detachable unit. When the inner band 20 and the outer band 10 have the same length, the detachable unit is provided at both ends of the inner band 20 and the outer band 10, and the inner band 20 and the outer band 10 When the lengths of are made different from each other, the detachable unit may be provided at both ends of any one of the inner band 20 and the outer band 10 .

The detachable unit, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a plurality of fastening holes 61 formed to penetrate through one end of the outer band 10 and/or the inner band 20, and the outer band ( 10) and/or may include a plurality of fastening protrusions 62 that are formed to protrude from the other end of the inner band 20 and are fitted and coupled to the fastening hole 61 in a force-fitting manner. At this time, the fastening hole 61 and the fastening protrusion 62 may have a tapered shape in which the diameter gradually increases toward the distal end.

In addition, Figure 7 shows another embodiment of the detachable unit, the detachable unit of this embodiment is a clamping groove 65 formed in a 'U' shape at one end of the outer band 10 and/or the inner band 20. and two first magnetic bodies 67 installed on both sides of the clamping groove 65, respectively, and the other end of the outer band 10 and/or the inner band 20 extending in the longitudinal direction. It includes a clamping blade 66 inserted into the clamping groove 65 and a second magnetic body 68 installed on the clamping blade 66 and coupled to the first magnetic body 67 by magnetic force.

The clamping groove 65 formed at one end of the outer band 10 and/or the inner band 20 may be formed in a 'V' shape or as shown in FIG. 8 .

The two first magnetic bodies 67 inserted into the clamping groove 65 are arranged with opposite polarities to be coupled to both sides of the second magnetic body 68 at the same time, and are not coupled to the second magnetic body 68 . When not in use, both sides of the clamping groove 65 are attached to each other by the first magnetic material 67, and only when in use, the first magnetic material 67 is separated to spread the clamping groove 65, and the clamping blade 66 is inserted therebetween. Thus, both ends of the outer band 10 and/or the inner band 20 may be connected to each other.
