Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an IPL light guide device that realizes a dot matrix using a polarization function, and more specifically, to an IPL light guide device that realizes a dot matrix using a polarization function, which irradiates light emitted from a light source in an optimal state, and in particular maximizes the dot matrix effect by distinguishing between a portion where the light is concentrated and a portion where the light is not concentrated, thereby being able to achieve the best surgical effect. Background Art

[0002] A light irradiation device such as an intense pulse light (IPL) irradiation device used as a skin treatment device is a device that emits light with a certain range of wavelength bands in the form of intense pulses, and is used for clinical operations such as skin beauty or vascular lesions and hair removal. It is set to coordinate the selected wavelength band, pulse width, interval between pulses, energy used, etc.

[0003] On the other hand, a light irradiator using a laser beam as a light source treats damaged spots by inducing a fractional effect. Fractional refers to the process of dividing a laser beam and irradiating a micro beam, and is a technique used in surgeries such as scar and pore treatment. When a laser beam is irradiated, the heat stimulation generated by the light penetrates into the dermis, stimulating stem cells and regenerating collagen and elastin, thereby achieving a therapeutic effect. As a result, the fractional effect is a technique for treating damaged spots that induces skin regeneration by artificially injuring the skin minutely.

[0004] In order to induce a dot effect in a light irradiator as described above, a lens is used to irradiate the emitted light to the surgical site. Such a lens needs to be able to maximize the intended effect by irradiating the emitted light to the surgical site, and therefore a structure for achieving the best effect is required.

[0029] In the present invention, in order to irradiate the light emitted from the light source in an optimal state, and in particular to maximize the dot matrix effect by distinguishing between the parts where the light is concentrated and the parts where it is not concentrated, thereby being able to achieve the best surgical effect, a laser irradiation lens for the human body is proposed, and the laser irradiation lens for the human body is configured as: a main body constituting a three-dimensional shape, the light emitted from the light source passes through the main body and irradiates the bottom surface, and a concentrating portion and a reflecting portion are alternately formed on the bottom surface of the main body, the light is irradiated to the concentrating portion, and the reflecting portion is formed between the concentrating portions and reflects the light toward the concentrating portion side, so that the light emitted from the light source is irradiated in a manner concentrated to the concentrating portion.

[0030] Below, refer to the attached Figures 1 to 9 The present invention is described in detail.

[0031] Figure 1 is an example diagram of a light irradiation apparatus according to the present invention, Figure 2 1 is a diagram showing an example of the arrangement relationship between a light source and a lens in a light irradiation apparatus according to the present invention.

[0032] The lens 100 according to the present invention is installed in a light irradiation device 200 for skin beauty or the like.

[0033] The light irradiator 200 may be formed with a handle formed on one side thereof for holding and using by hand, the light source 260 may be installed inside the light irradiator 200 in a manner of being wrapped by a reflection plate 280 , and an installation port 220 may be formed at the lower side of the light source 260 .

[0034] The light source 260 may be a xenon lamp formed with a predetermined length, and the cross-sectional shape of the reflective plate 280 is a hemispherical shape, so that the light can be reflected only toward the mounting port 220 , that is, toward the lens 100 .

[0035] In such a light irradiation device 200 , the lens 100 according to the present invention is detachably mounted on the mounting port 220 .

[0036] Figure 3 is an exemplary diagram showing the arrangement relationship between the lens and the light source according to the present invention, Figure 4 is an example diagram of a lens according to the present invention, Figure 5 is a bottom view of a lens according to the present invention, Figures 6 to 8 is an exemplary diagram showing the shape of the reflecting portion according to the present invention, Fig. 9 1 is an exemplary diagram showing a state where a laser is irradiated to a surgical site using the lens according to the present invention.

[0037] In the lens 100, the body 120 is formed in a three-dimensional shape so that light emitted from the light source 260 passes through the body 120 and is irradiated to the bottom surface. Such a body 120 is preferably formed in a hexahedral shape.

[0038] The light source 260 is used to generate laser light and is disposed on the top surface of the main body 120 .

[0039] On the other hand, the lens 100 according to the present invention can be installed together with the laser light source 260 on a laser irradiator having a handle, but such a structure is not only a well-known structure but can also be designed and changed into various structures, so its illustration will be omitted.

[0040] In the lens 100 according to the present invention, a concentrating portion 122 and a reflecting portion 124 are formed on the bottom surface of the main body 120. The concentrating portion 122 is a portion where light passing through the main body 120 is concentratedly irradiated, and the reflecting portion 124 reflects the light passing through the main body 120 toward the concentrating portion 122 side, thereby playing a role in further concentrating the light on the concentrating portion 122.

[0041] The concentrated portions 122 and the reflecting portions 124 are formed alternately. Such a configuration can be realized by forming the concentrated portions 122 at predetermined intervals and forming the reflecting portions 124 between the concentrated portions 122 .

[0042] Here, grooves are formed on the bottom surface of the main body 120 in a manner forming a prescribed pattern, so that the grooves can be used to form the reflective portion 124. At this time, the portion on the bottom surface of the main body 120 where the grooves are not formed naturally forms the concentrated portion 122. Therefore, the concentrated portion 122 and the reflective portion 124 are formed alternately with each other. In this configuration, the bottom surface of the main body 120 is preferably formed as a plane, and the inner wall surface of the reflective portion 124 needs to be formed as an inclined surface.

[0043] If the reflective portion 124 is formed by digging a groove in the bottom surface of the main body 120 as described above, the light passing through the main body 120 will be reflected and travel toward the concentrating portion 122 at the boundary surface between the internal space of the reflective portion 124 and the main body 120, that is, the inner wall surface of the groove. When the traveling light reaches the inclined boundary surface, part of it passes through and part of it is reflected due to the prism phenomenon, and generally more than 95% of the light will be reflected.

[0044] The reflecting portion 124 may be formed by the grooves being recessed in a lattice pattern, i.e., a pattern like a mesh in which the weft and the warp are interwoven. Therefore, the concentrating portion 122 will form a quadrilateral convex shape, and the reflecting portion 124 will surround the four faces of the concentrating portion 122. As a result, on the four faces of the concentrating portion 122, the reflecting portion 124 reflects light toward the concentrating portion 122 side to concentrate.

[0045] On the other hand, the grooves of the lattice pattern forming the reflective portion 124 may be formed so that their cross sections form a triangular shape. Therefore, the internal space of the reflective portion 124 and the boundary surface of the main body 120 will naturally form an inclined surface. At this time, the triangle is preferably formed as an equilateral triangle, which is to make the amount of light reflected from the two oblique sides the same, so that each concentrating portion 122 can reflect light at a uniform degree.

[0046] As another example, the grooves of the lattice pattern may be formed so that their cross sections form an arc shape. Therefore, the internal space of the reflective portion 124 and the boundary surface of the main body 120 will not form a plane, but will form an inclined surface that is convex upward. In this configuration, the amount of reflected light will be reduced compared to the triangular configuration, so the intensity of the light to be concentrated in the concentration portion 122 or the amount of light to pass through the reflective portion 124 is taken into consideration, and selected and adopted as needed.

[0047] As another example, the grooves of the lattice pattern may be formed so that their cross sections form a quadrilateral shape.

[0048] For reference, although laser has strong straightness by focusing light, IPL is a device that has more refraction and scattering of light, and even in the case of a quadrilateral, the incident angle is bent and refracted in the light, thereby utilizing the difference in the amount of incident light to produce effects similar to circles, triangles, etc.

[0049] According to the IPL light guide device for realizing a dot matrix using a polarization function of the present invention as described above, in the process in which the light generated from the light source passes through the main body 120 and irradiates the bottom surface of the main body 120, the light is concentrated to the concentrating portion 122. As a result, in the process of treating the human body using the light irradiator, the light is concentrated to the surgical site, thereby concentrating the energy to the site where the light is concentrated, so that the dot matrix effect can be smoothly induced.
