FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the light source emitter illustrated in FIG. 1. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the light source emitter.
도 1 내지 도 3을 참조하면, 피부치료용 광 조사기(10)는 전원부(200), 입력부(300), 제어부(400) 그리고 광원 방출부(100)를 포함한다. 1 to 3, the skin irradiator 10 includes a power supply unit 200, an input unit 300, a control unit 400, and a light source emitter 100.
전원부(200)는 광원 방출부(100)에 전원을 공급한다. 전원부(200)는 일반적인 교류전원을 사용하여 충전할 수 도 있고, 배터리를 이용할 수도 있다. The power supply unit 200 supplies power to the light source emitting unit 100. The power supply unit 200 may be charged using a general AC power source, or may use a battery.
입력부(300)는 사용자의 선택신호를 입력받는다. 일 예로, 광원 방출부(100)가 다양한 파장대의 발광 다이오드들을 포함하고 있는 경우, 입력부(300)는 파장입력 스위치(미도시)를 포함할 수 있다. 또한, 입력부(300)는 광원 방출부(100)의 광량 조절 스위치(미도시됨) 및 시간 제어를 위한 타이머 스위치(미도시됨)를 포함할 수 있다. The input unit 300 receives a user's selection signal. For example, when the light source emitter 100 includes light emitting diodes having various wavelength bands, the input unit 300 may include a wavelength input switch (not shown). In addition, the input unit 300 may include a light amount control switch (not shown) of the light source emitter 100 and a timer switch (not shown) for time control.
제어부(400)는 피부치료용 광 조사기(10)의 전반적인 제어 동작을 수행하는 마이크로 프로세서를 포함할 수 있다. 제어부(400)는 입력부(300)로부터 입력받은 사용자의 선택신호에 따라 광원 방출부(100)를 제어할 수 있다. The controller 400 may include a microprocessor for performing an overall control operation of the light irradiator 10 for treating skin. The controller 400 may control the light source emitter 100 according to a user's selection signal received from the input unit 300.
광원 방출부(100)는 전원부(200)로부터 전원을 공급받아 빛을 방출한다. 광원 방출부(100)는 연성 인쇄회로기판(110), 광원(120)들, 금속 필름(130) 그리고 외피(140)를 포함한다. The light source emitter 100 receives power from the power source 200 to emit light. The light source emitter 100 includes a flexible printed circuit board 110, light sources 120, a metal film 130, and an outer shell 140.
연성 인쇄회로기판(110)은 팔, 다리, 복부, 관절 등의 환부를 감쌀 수 있는 밴드 형상으로 형성된다. 일 예로,연성 인쇄회로기판(110)은 투명한 소재로 이루어질 수 있다. 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 전면에는 길이방향을 따라 광원(120)들이 일정 간격이나 광조사 부위에 맞는 적절한 간격으로 실장된다. 도 2에는 도면 편의상 광원들을 일부 생략하였다. 광원(120)들은 전력 소모량이 적은 발광다이오드를 사용할 수 있다. 일 예로, 광원(120)은 적색 및 근적외선(NIR; Near infrared Ray) 파장대의 빛을 출사하는 발광다이오드일 수 있다. 참고로, 근적외선은 통상 적외선 중에서 가시광선에 인접한 영역인 770 ~ 1,400 nm 파장 범위의 광선을 의미한다. 근적외선은 가시광선이나 자외선에 비해 강한 열 작용을 가지고 있기 때문에 열선(熱線)이라고도 부르는데, 이러한 특성으로 인해 근적외선이 신체 조직에 침투하면, 그 신체 부위에서는 열이 발생한다. 근적외선은 통상 피하 20 ~80 mm 깊이까지 침투하며, 열 작용 외에 소독이나 멸균 등의 효과도 있다. 또한 생체 내에서 산화질소가 국지적으로 증가하면 혈관이 확장되어 혈유가 개선되고, 조직의 생리적 작용이 활성화되어 상처의 치유를 촉진하며, 통증을 경감시켜 주기도 한다. 1994년 미국 식약청은 파장이 890 nm 인 근적외선이 혈액내의 산화질소를 증가시켜 혈액 순환과 통증 완화 및 상처 치료에 효험이 있음을 인증하였다. The flexible printed circuit board 110 is formed in a band shape to surround the affected part such as an arm, a leg, an abdomen, a joint, and the like. For example, the flexible printed circuit board 110 may be made of a transparent material. The front surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110 is mounted with light sources 120 along the longitudinal direction at appropriate intervals suitable for a predetermined interval or light irradiation site. In FIG. 2, some light sources are omitted for convenience of drawing. The light sources 120 may use light emitting diodes with low power consumption. For example, the light source 120 may be a light emitting diode that emits light in red and near infrared ray (NIR) wavelength bands. For reference, the near-infrared light means a light ray having a wavelength range of 770 to 1,400 nm, which is a region adjacent to visible light in the infrared. Near-infrared rays are also called heat rays because they have stronger heat action than visible or ultraviolet rays. Because of this property, when near-infrared rays penetrate body tissues, heat is generated in those parts of the body. Near-infrared rays usually penetrate to subcutaneous depths of 20 to 80 mm and have effects such as disinfection and sterilization in addition to thermal action. In addition, when nitric oxide is locally increased in vivo, blood vessels expand to improve blood flow, and tissue physiological actions are activated to promote healing of wounds and to relieve pain. In 1994, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration certified that near-infrared radiation with a wavelength of 890 nm increases nitric oxide in the blood, which is effective in blood circulation, pain relief, and wound healing.
도시하지 않았지만, 광원(120)들은 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 전면에 형성된 배선(패턴)에 실장되며, 이러한 광원 방출부(100)는 환부에 밀착성을 높일 수 있어서 광 치료 효과를 극대화시킬 수 있다. 또한, 광원 방출부(100)를 관절부위 등의 환부에 착용하였을 때 착용감이 뛰어날 뿐만 아니라, 전체적인 부피 및 무게를 줄일 수 있는 각별한 효과를 기대할 수 있다.Although not shown, the light sources 120 are mounted on the wirings (patterns) formed on the front surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110, and the light source emitter 100 can increase the adhesion to the affected areas, thereby maximizing the light treatment effect. have. In addition, when the light source emitter 100 is worn on the affected part such as a joint part, it is not only excellent in wearing feeling, but also a special effect of reducing the overall volume and weight can be expected.
금속 필름(130)은 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 후면에 제공된다. 금속 필름(130)은 광원(120)들이 발광할 때 발생되는 열이 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)에 균일하게 분포되도록 동이나 알루미늄과 같은 열전도율이 높은 재질로 이루어질 수 있다. 광원 방출부(100)에 전원이 제공되면 광원(120)들로부터 열이 발생되는데, 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)은 금속에 비해 열전도가 나쁘기 때문에 연성 인쇄회로기판 (110)상의 열분포가 나빠진다. 이것은 광원(120) 주위로 많은 열이 몰려 있다는 것이 되는데, 이러면 광원(LED 칩)에 나쁜 영향(내구성 저하)을 주게 된다. 특히, 환자의 환부에 밀착하여 사용하는 밴드 타입의 경우 광원 방출부(100)의 열 분포를 균일하게 하는 것이 매우 중요하며, 금속 필름(130)은 열을 균일하게 확산시키는 작용과 열을 방출하는 작용을 한다. 예컨대, 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 후면에는 복수층의 금속 필름(130)이 제공될 수 있다. The metal film 130 is provided on the rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110. The metal film 130 may be made of a material having high thermal conductivity such as copper or aluminum so that heat generated when the light sources 120 emit light is uniformly distributed on the flexible printed circuit board 110. When power is supplied to the light source emitter 100, heat is generated from the light sources 120, and the heat distribution on the flexible printed circuit board 110 is poor because the flexible printed circuit board 110 has a poor thermal conductivity. This means that a lot of heat is concentrated around the light source 120, which adversely affects the light source (LED chip) (durability deterioration). In particular, in the case of the band type used in close contact with the affected part of the patient, it is very important to uniformize the heat distribution of the light source emitter 100, and the metal film 130 may diffuse the heat uniformly and emit heat. It works. For example, a plurality of layers of the metal film 130 may be provided on the rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110.
특히, 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 후면 전체에 동이나 알루미늄과 같은 금속 필름을 형성하면 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 열분포를 개선할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)이 지나치게 휘어지는 문제도 일부 개선할 수 있다. In particular, forming a metal film such as copper or aluminum on the entire rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110 may not only improve the thermal distribution of the flexible printed circuit board 110 but also cause the flexible printed circuit board 110 to be excessively bent. Some problems can be improved.
또한, 금속 필름(130)이 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 후면에 제공되면 광원(120)으로부터 나온 광이 전면으로 방사되다가 피부 반사에 의해 배면 방향으로 오는 것들을 다시 전면으로 반사시킬 수 있어, 환자의 피부에 보다 많은 광을 내보낼 수 있게 된다.In addition, when the metal film 130 is provided on the rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110, light emitted from the light source 120 may be radiated to the front surface and then reflect back to the front surface by the skin reflection. More light on your skin.
광원 방출부(100)는 반사 효율을 높이기 위해 광원들이 설치된 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 전면에 PSR(Photo solder resist ink;미도시됨)층이나 백색 커버레이층이 형성될 수 있다. PSR잉크층이나 백색 커버레이층은 광원(120)으로부터 방사된 광이 피부 표면(피사체)으로부터 반사되어 돌아오는 것을 다시 재반사시켜 광의 이용효율을 증대시킬 수 있다.The light source emitter 100 may have a photo solder resist ink (PSR) layer or a white coverlay layer formed on a front surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110 in which light sources are installed to increase reflection efficiency. The PSR ink layer or the white coverlay layer may re-reflect the light emitted from the light source 120 to be reflected back from the skin surface (subject), thereby increasing light utilization efficiency.
도 4에서와 같이, 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 후면에 금속 패턴(118)이 형성되어 있는 경우, 금속 필름(130)은 금속 패턴(118)이 있는 부분을 제외한 나머지에만 형성될 수 있다. As shown in FIG. 4, when the metal pattern 118 is formed on the rear surface of the flexible printed circuit board 110, the metal film 130 may be formed only except for the portion where the metal pattern 118 is located.
다시 도 2 및 도 3을 참조하면, 외피(140)는 광원 방출부(100)의 표면을 둘러싸도록 제공된다. 외피(140)는 광원((120)과 연성 인쇄회로기판(110) 그리고 금속 필름(130)을 먼지, 수분, 기타 오염물질들로부터 보호하기 위한 목적과 연성 인쇄회로기판(110)의 과도한 휘어짐을 방지하기 위한 목적으로 형성된다. 일 예로, 외피(140)는 실리콘 코팅층으로 제공될 수 있다. 실리콘 코팅층은 액상 실리콘을 연성 인쇄회로기판의 한면 또는 양면에 코팅하거나 또는 실리콘 패드나 실리콘 테이프를 한 면 또는 양면에 접착하거나 또는 실리콘 스프레이를 뿌려 도포하는 다양한 방식으로 제공될 수 있다. 실리콘 코팅층의 경우, 여러 번 코팅과정을 통해 연성 인쇄회로기판의 휨 정도를 조절할 수 있다. Referring again to FIGS. 2 and 3, the sheath 140 is provided to surround the surface of the light source emitter 100. The outer shell 140 serves to protect the light source 120, the flexible printed circuit board 110, and the metal film 130 from dust, moisture, and other contaminants, and the excessive bending of the flexible printed circuit board 110. For example, the shell 140 may be provided as a silicon coating layer, which may be coated with liquid silicon on one or both sides of a flexible printed circuit board, or one surface of a silicon pad or silicone tape. Alternatively, it may be provided in various ways of adhering to both sides or spraying with a silicone spray, etc. In the case of the silicon coating layer, the degree of warpage of the flexible printed circuit board may be controlled through several coating processes.
특히, 실리콘 코팅층은 광원(24)에서 발산되는 근적외선이 잘 통과하는 투명한 실리콘 재질로 구성된다. In particular, the silicon coating layer is made of a transparent silicon material through which near-infrared rays emitted from the light source 24 pass well.
도 5에서와 같이, 외피(140)는 광원(120)의 출사면(122)을 제외한 나머지 표면에 형성될 수 있다. 광원(120)의 출사면(122)에 외피(140)를 형성하지 않음으로써 외피(140)가 광원의 광량, 조사각 등에 영향을 주는 것을 최소화할 수 있다. 하지만 크게 영향을 받지 않는 경우에는 광원을 포함해서 전체를 덮을 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 5, the envelope 140 may be formed on the remaining surface except for the emission surface 122 of the light source 120. By not forming the sheath 140 on the emission surface 122 of the light source 120, it is possible to minimize the influence of the sheath 140 on the amount of light, the irradiation angle, and the like of the light source. However, if it is not greatly affected, it can cover the whole including the light source.
도시하지 않았지만, 광원 방출부(100)는 광이 조사되는 전면을 제외한 나머지 면을 감싸도록 직물지와 같은 커버를 더 포함할 수 있다.Although not shown, the light source emitter 100 may further include a cover such as fabric paper to cover the remaining surfaces except for the front surface to which light is irradiated.
도시하지 않았지만, 광원 방출부(100)는 양단부에 자석이나, 후크 끼움 방식, 벨크로화스너 방식 등과 같은 탈부착 부재가 설치될 수 있다. Although not shown, the light source emitter 100 may be provided with a removable member, such as a magnet, a hook fitting method, a Velcro fastener method, and the like at both ends.
본 발명의 피부치료용 광 조사기는 환자의 피부 치료용 이외에 피부 관리실이나 가정에서 피부 미용용으로 사용될 수 있다. The light irradiator for treating skin of the present invention can be used for skin care in a skin care room or at home, in addition to for treating skin of a patient.
