[0003] Currently, there are many phototherapy devices available, utilizing electromagnetic wave spectra including visible blue and red light, as well as infrared light in the IR-A, IR-B, and IR-C bands. Most employ static irradiation, with some using pulse code modulation (PCM) to control the intensity of the light source. However, none utilize the traveling wave group principle, fail to leverage the body's reflective mechanisms when there is a contrast between light and heat sensitivity, or enhance the driving force of body fluids. They also lack effectiveness in reflecting and activating meridians, resulting in insufficient therapeutic effects. Summary of the Invention

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a replaceable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or an optical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0137] Example 1:
[0138] Please see Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of this application discloses a method for modulating traveling wave groups with therapeutic light:
[0139] This is applied to a modulated traveling wave group device, which includes a therapeutic light source device, a modulated traveling wave group device for generating a traveling wave group by modulating therapeutic light, and a controller. The controller may include logic mechanisms, logic circuits, computer memory, and a processor. As a control module, this control module executes a computer program to achieve the following steps:
[0140] S1. The control modulation traveling wave group device modulates the frequency and amplitude of the physiotherapy light source device itself; or adjusts the position and / or angle of the physiotherapy light source device itself; or adjusts the physiotherapy light along the path from the physiotherapy light source device to the irradiated object, so that the physiotherapy light on the irradiated object generates a traveling wave group. Here, generating a traveling wave group on the irradiated object can be understood as generating a traveling wave group in the physiotherapy light irradiating the irradiated object.
[0141] It should be noted that there are three parallel execution steps in step S1:
[0142] S11. The method by which the control modulation traveling wave group device modulates the frequency and amplitude of the physiotherapy light source device itself.
[0143] S12. Control the modulation traveling wave group device to adjust the position and / or angle of the physiotherapy light source device itself.
[0144] S13, The control modulation traveling wave group device adjusts the therapeutic light along the path from the therapeutic light source device to the irradiated object.
[0145] Regardless of the specific execution step described above, the purpose is to generate a traveling wave group on the irradiated object. A traveling wave group (TWG) refers to the carrier spectrum output by the physiotherapy light source device of this application, which is a spectrum from visible light to infrared light, with wavelengths ranging from 0.39 micrometers to 1000 micrometers (it can be understood that the light used for physiotherapy is not limited to infrared light, but can also be visible light, such as red light, orange light, etc.). The modulated physiotherapy light travels in space at the speed of light (the phase velocity of the carrier wave), while the traveling wave group travels at the group velocity of the modulated signal envelope.
[0146] Regarding infrared light, according to the definition of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE):
[0147] The wavelength of IR-A is 0.78-1.40 micrometers;
[0148] The wavelength of IR-B is 1.40-3.00 micrometers;
[0149] The wavelength of IR-C is 3.00-1000 micrometers.
[0150] The control method described above enables the therapeutic light irradiating the human body to undergo dynamic changes, thereby generating traveling wave groups:
[0151] The human body will perceive this therapeutic light wave group and the tissues will react. For example, blood and body fluids will move faster as the therapeutic light irradiates the wave group, thereby enhancing the driving effect of body fluids / blood.
[0152] The enhanced fluid-driven effect allows for faster diffusion of fluids and their suspended matter, making it easier for substances in the fluids to penetrate tissues; while the enhanced local blood-driven effect accelerates blood circulation between upstream and downstream vessels, making it easier to dispel blockages such as blood stasis.
[0153] If applied to the meridians, it can activate and unblock the meridians.
[0154] When applied to the internal organs, it can effectively increase the temperature of the internal organs and the function of related enzymes, thereby activating physiological functions.
[0155] In addition, the therapeutic light modulation traveling wave group method designed in this application can be used not only by the medical community for related physical therapy, but also by the life science community for research on "photobiology" and its "photobiological modulation therapy".
[0156] Specifically, the following research can be conducted:
[0157] 1. The effects of different wavelengths of therapeutic light on meridians, internal organs, and nerves;
[0158] 2. Research and optimization of the device's irradiation power, illuminance, and irradiation time;
[0159] 3. The reactions of the twelve meridians under the action of "therapeutic light wave group";
[0160] 4. The reactions of various organs and viscera under the action of "physical therapy light wave group";
[0161] 5. The effect of different directions of action of "physiotherapy light wave group" on the effect of nerve line restoration;
[0162] Based on experimental results, "physiotherapy light wave clusters" have shown good therapeutic effects on headaches, stomachaches, menstrual cramps, and breast duct blockages.
[0163] Taking the modulation method of this application as a specific application:
[0164] If the purpose is to unblock meridians, the preferred light source for the therapeutic light source device is an IR-B or IR-C light source. Simultaneously, the infrared light irradiating the body should move along the meridian direction; moving it in the opposite direction will result in insufficient or no meridian unblocking effect. For example, in an experiment, a modulated traveling wave group device was used to drive the therapeutic light source device at a speed of 80mm / s to 120mm / s, repeatedly scanning the bladder meridian from the neck to the buttocks. If an infrared radiation plate was used as the therapeutic light source device, the surface temperature of the light source was controlled at 200℃±10℃, and the temperature of the irradiated skin was controlled at 40℃±2℃. Under these conditions, a meridian reflection phenomenon was generated in approximately 2 to 5 minutes. That is, whenever the therapeutic light source scanned from the neck to the buttocks, a warm sensation would travel along the bladder meridian from the buttocks to the soles of the feet in about one second, repeating cyclically, thus unblocking the entire bladder meridian. The conditions described are merely an experimental example and do not imply that these same conditions must be applied to other meridians. Different meridians will exhibit different effects under infrared light sources of different wavelengths. Factors such as scanning speed, the size of the infrared area irradiated on the human body, and the power of the infrared light source are all influencing factors. Those skilled in the art can make adaptive adjustments according to actual needs.
[0165] If the purpose is to disperse and mobilize subcutaneous fluids, the therapeutic light irradiating the body should move from the center outwards. The power of the infrared light source should preferably be set relatively low to control the surface temperature of the light source device at 200℃±10℃, and the temperature of the irradiated skin at 40℃±2℃. Applying the light under these conditions for a certain period until the body reacts is considered to have achieved the effect of mobilizing body fluids.
[0166] If the goal is to rehabilitate nerves, the light source of the physiotherapy light source device is preferably an orange light source to an IR-A light source, and the treatment time is preferably controlled within 30 minutes.
[0167] Example 2:
[0168] Embodiment 2 of this application is a further explanation of step S12 described above.
[0169] The phrase "adjusting the position and / or angle of the physiotherapy light source device itself" in step S12 can be understood as:
[0170] 1. The position of the physiotherapy light source device can be adjusted only, for example, moving the physiotherapy light source device from one set position to another set position.
[0171] 2. It allows adjustment of only the angle of the physiotherapy light source device, such as the pitch angle.
[0172] 3. The position and angle of the physiotherapy light source device can be adjusted simultaneously.
[0173] In this second embodiment, the modulated traveling wave group device can be designed to include a device body and a pose adjustment component, with the pose adjustment component mounted on the device body.
[0174] Taking position adjustment as an example, the position adjustment component is specifically connected to the physiotherapy light source device and is used to drive the physiotherapy light source device to move according to a preset path or change the irradiation angle of the physiotherapy light source device so that the light spot moves according to the preset path.
[0175] The above step S12 can be specifically described as follows:
[0176] The position adjustment component is controlled to drive the physiotherapy light source device to move along a preset path.
[0177] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, a specific application example A in this embodiment two is as follows:
[0178] The pose adjustment component includes a transport component a1 and a drive mechanism a2.
[0179] The physiotherapy light source device a5 is installed on the delivery assembly a1.
[0180] The drive mechanism a2 is connected to the conveying component a1 through the transmission component a3, and is used to drive the conveying component a1 to move, so as to drive the physiotherapy light source device a5 to move.
[0181] Regarding the design of the conveying component a1, in this embodiment it is designed to include two conveyor belts a11, which are parallel and spaced apart. Specifically, the physiotherapy light source device a5 is installed between the two conveyor belts a11.
[0182] Taking the conveyor belt a11 as a specific example, the transmission assembly a3 can be designed to include a drive shaft a31, two drive pulleys a32, a driven shaft a33, and two driven pulleys a34. The drive shaft a31 and the driven shaft a33 are pivotally connected to the main body of the device. The two drive pulleys a32 are fixed at intervals on the drive shaft a31, and the two driven pulleys a34 are fixed on the driven shaft a33. The two conveyor belts a11 are then respectively connected to the corresponding drive pulleys a32 and driven pulleys a34 for transmission. Specifically, the drive pulleys a32 and driven pulleys a34 are rolled with the corresponding conveyor belts a11 to achieve transmission.
[0183] The drive mechanism a2 can be designed to include an adjustable speed reduction motor a21 and a coupling a22. The output shaft of the reduction motor a21 is connected to the drive shaft a31 through the coupling a22, thereby driving the two conveyor belts a11 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the physiotherapy light source device a5 to move.
[0184] In specific application example A, the main body of the device can be a bed box structure or a seat cushion structure to facilitate the installation space of the posture adjustment components, and there are no specific restrictions.
[0185] The therapeutic light source device a5, arranged on the two conveyor belts a11, is an infrared radiation plate assembly, i.e., an infrared radiation plate design. Each infrared radiation plate assembly can be formed by assembling one or more infrared radiation plate units. There can be two conveyor components a1, so that the two conveyor belts a11 together drive four infrared radiation plate assemblies, i.e., each conveyor belt a11 is equipped with two infrared radiation plate assemblies. The envelope width of the traveling wave group is determined by the length of the infrared radiation plate assembly, while the speed and intensity of the traveling wave can be adjusted as needed.
[0186] Specifically, the heating method of the infrared radiation plate unit can be either a track brush resistive heating radiation plate structure design or a high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating radiation plate structure design.
[0187] The main structure of the infrared radiation plate unit consists of a conductive heating material layer a52, a magnetic resistive heating material layer a53, and a conductive layer a51. One side of the main structure is covered by an infrared radiation material layer a54, and the other side is covered by a heat insulation material layer a55. The design of the heat insulation material layer a55 can prevent heat loss.
[0188] The infrared radiation plate can be heated by a heating device a6 located at the bottom of the conveyor belt a11. The heating device a6 is a resistive heating rail brush device or a high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating device.
[0189] Taking resistive heating as an example, the heating device a6 may include two fixed track brushes a61 that contact the conductive layer a51 of the infrared radiation plate moving back at the bottom, so as to apply a low voltage to the infrared radiation plate and implement resistive heating.
[0190] Taking high-frequency electromagnetic heating as an example, the heating device includes several sets of high-frequency coils installed at the bottom of the conveyor belt a11 to perform high-frequency electromagnetic induction heating on the infrared radiation plate during the return movement.
[0191] To enhance the contrast effect of the irradiation, the main body of the device is equipped with multiple light guides a7 to guide the therapeutic light from the therapeutic light source device a5 to the irradiated object. The light guides a7 are positioned along the irradiation path of the therapeutic light onto the human body, allowing the therapeutic light emitted from the therapeutic light source device a5 to be concentrated on specific parts of the irradiated object, thereby enhancing the contrast effect. A radiation reflector a4 is laid at the bottom of the conveyor belt a11 to reflect the radiation emitted by the moving infrared radiation plate back to the radiation plate, saving energy and preventing the overall device from overheating.
[0192] The walls of reflector a4 and light guide a7 can be plated with coatings of elements with high reflectivity in the infrared band, such as silver, gold, copper, and aluminum. This can increase the irradiation energy on the target object and reduce the temperature rise caused by the absorption of infrared light by the light guide and other devices.
[0193] The specific application example A above is suitable for irradiating the bladder meridian from the shoulder and neck to the buttocks of the human body, with the wave direction following the bladder meridian (four lines on each side) from the shoulder to the buttocks. This design is very suitable in the infrared light range.
[0194] like Figures 7 to 16 As shown, a specific application example B in this embodiment two is as follows:
[0195] The pose adjustment component may include a drive mechanism, which may be a single-degree-of-freedom robotic arm or a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm b2, and the drive mechanism is mounted on a base b3 or a frame.
[0196] Taking the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm b2 as an example, specifically, the pose adjustment component may include one or more degree-of-freedom robotic arms b2.
[0197] Each multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm b2 has a physiotherapy light source device installed on its end effector b1.
[0198] The control modulated traveling wave group device adjusts the position and / or angle of the physiotherapy light source device itself as follows:
[0199] Control the multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm b2 to drive the physiotherapy light source device to perform three-dimensional motion according to the preset path, and at the same time control the end effector b1 to perform two-dimensional angular pendulum or rotational motion according to the preset operating mode.
[0200] By changing the three-dimensional position and irradiation angle of the physiotherapy light source device, and simultaneously rotating the physiotherapy light source device, the light spot of the physiotherapy light can be made to move along a preset path.
[0201] A multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm can be a three-axis to a six-axis robotic arm, or a robotic arm composed of more slide rails and rotating shafts, and there are no specific restrictions.
[0202] If multiple meridians need to be acted upon simultaneously, multiple therapeutic light source devices can be set up, and multiple driving mechanisms can also be set up, each connected to a corresponding therapeutic light source device.
[0203] Of course, with a single driving mechanism, the physiotherapy light source device can also include multiple physiotherapy light source generators. For example, to scan the four bladder meridians, such as... Figure 8 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 10 As shown, the physiotherapy light source device includes a device housing b11 and four or four sets of LED light sources b12 installed in the device housing b11. The LED light sources b12 are mounted on a lamp plate b14. A heat sink b18 can be installed on the back of the lamp plate b14. A heat insulation layer b13 is provided between the heat sink b18 and the device housing b11. A strong convection device is installed on the device housing b11, which can be an electric fan b15. For example, heat dissipation air inlets b10 can be provided on the side of the device housing b11 and the lamp plate b14.
[0204] Taking the scanning of the four bladder meridians as an example, it can also be like... Figure 11 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 As shown, the physiotherapy light source device b1 includes a device housing b11 and four electrothermal radiation plates b16 installed in the device housing b11. A heat insulation layer b13 is provided between the electrothermal radiation plates b16 and the device housing b11.
[0205] Taking scanning of a specific surface as an example, it can also be like... Figure 14 , Figure 15 as well as Figure 16 As shown, the physiotherapy light source device b1 includes a device housing b11 and a long strip-shaped electrothermal radiation plate b17 installed in the device housing b11. A heat insulation layer b13 is provided between the long strip-shaped electrothermal radiation plate b17 and the device housing b11.
[0206] The physiotherapy light source device b1 can be securely connected to the end effector b1 connector of the robotic arm via screws or other fasteners, and there are no specific restrictions.
[0207] If it is necessary to achieve a diffused motion of the therapeutic light irradiating the human body, then the therapeutic light generator of the therapeutic light source device can be set into a spiral shape, and the therapeutic light source device b1 can be rotated by the end effector b1 to achieve radial diffusion of the light spot.
[0208] Example 3:
[0209] Embodiment 3 of this application is a further explanation of step S11 described above.
[0210] In this embodiment, the physiotherapy light source device is designed to include multiple physiotherapy light generators or groups of physiotherapy light generators with different wavelengths arranged in an array. It should be noted that the physiotherapy light generator group is composed of multiple individual physiotherapy light emitters. Taking this as an example, step S11 above specifically includes:
[0211] S111, Control modulated traveling wave group device, control the power on or power off of each physiotherapy light generator or physiotherapy light generator group according to the preset control mode.
[0212] Alternatively, S112, control modulation traveling wave group device, adjust the illuminance, period and sequence of each physiotherapy light generator or physiotherapy light generator group based on pulse code modulation.
[0213] like Figures 17 to 20 As shown, a specific application example C in this embodiment three is as follows:
[0214] To apply light to a single meridian, multiple therapeutic light generators can be arranged in a linear array.
[0215] When used on multiple meridians, it is designed as a linear array of multiple therapeutic light generators.
[0216] The therapeutic light generator can be a single therapeutic light LED bead c1, fixed on a light board c2. Each therapeutic light generator group can be regarded as a light strip consisting of multiple single therapeutic light LED beads c1 on a light board c2. Therefore, an array of multiple therapeutic light generator groups is also an array of multiple light strips on the light board c2.
[0217] The modulated traveling wave group device includes a dimming component, which is connected to each individual therapeutic light LED bead c1 and is used to control the power supply of each individual therapeutic light LED bead c1 to form a linearly moving therapeutic light traveling wave group on the irradiated object.
[0218] Taking a therapeutic light generator assembly with three LEDs lit simultaneously as an example, its on / off control can be as follows:
[0219] At time point zero, the first single-beam therapeutic LED c1, the second single-beam therapeutic LED c1, and the third single-beam therapeutic LED c1 all lit up;
[0220] At the first time point, the first single therapeutic LED bead c1 turns off, and at the same time the fourth single therapeutic LED bead c1 lights up;
[0221] At the second time point, the second single-beam therapy LED c1 turns off, and at the same time the fifth single-beam therapy LED c1 lights up;
[0222] At the third time point, the third single-beam therapeutic LED c1 turns off, while the sixth single-beam therapeutic LED c1 lights up.
[0223] This process continues in a cyclical manner, forming a linearly moving therapeutic light wave group.
[0224] In a broad sense, taking a therapeutic light generator group consisting of 0 to Y linearly arranged single therapeutic LED beads c1, and designed to have 6 consecutive LED beads lit simultaneously as an example, its on / off control sequence is as follows:
[0225] At time point zero, the nth to (n+5th)th single therapeutic LED beads c1 light up simultaneously;
[0226] At the first time point, when the nth single therapeutic LED bead c1 is de-energized, the (n+6)th single therapeutic LED bead c1 begins to be energized.
[0227] At the second time point, when the (n+1)th single therapeutic LED bead c1 is de-energized, the (n+7)th single therapeutic LED bead c1 begins to be energized.
[0228] At the third time point, when the (n+2)th single therapeutic LED bead c1 is de-energized, the (n+8)th single therapeutic LED bead c1 begins to be energized.
[0229] This process continues in a cyclical manner, forming a linearly moving therapeutic light wave group.
[0230] Taking the on / off control in step S111 as an example, the dimming component may specifically include multiple programmable switches, each programmable switch being connected to a single therapeutic LED bead c1 in a one-to-one correspondence, for controlling the on / off power of the single therapeutic LED bead c1 respectively.
[0231] Regarding the control in step S112, the dimming component may further include a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) device or a pulse width modulation (PWM) device. This device can not only adjust the illumination brightness of the single therapeutic LED bead c1 by regulating the power, but also adjust the waveform of the therapeutic light output by the single therapeutic LED bead c1, such as a square wave, sine wave, or pulse wave. This allows the single therapeutic LED bead c1 to control brightness or waveform output changes according to a certain preset mode during the illumination mode control process.
[0232] To ensure the focusing effect, each single therapeutic LED bead c1 is covered with a corresponding reflector c3. Each reflector c3 is connected to a light guide c4, which may be of the same or different heights, to enhance the irradiation contrast effect. Its function is the same as that of the light guide in the aforementioned application example A, guiding the therapeutic light so that the therapeutic light can be irradiated more concentratedly onto the human body.
[0233] The lamp board c2, which serves as the base for the lamp beads c1, can be made of rigid, flexible, or elastic materials. A lamp board c2 made of a flexible material can be designed to fit different surfaces of the object being irradiated, allowing the therapeutic light generator assembly to fit snugly against the surface, shortening the path of the therapeutic light to the body, thus creating a design that can shorten or eliminate the light guide c4.
[0234] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sustainable use of the single therapeutic LED lamp c1 and avoid thermal damage caused by insufficient heat dissipation, the therapeutic light source device designed in this application also includes a device housing and a heat sink device. The lamp plate c2 is installed in the device housing. The heat sink device may include heat pipes, heat conduction plates, self-cooling or forced cooling heat dissipation modules, or liquid cooling heat dissipation, ring cold pump and other heat dissipation designs used in existing electronic devices. The heat sink device may be installed on the back of the device housing, without limitation.
[0235] The lamp board c2 can also provide heat dissipation for the lamp beads c1. A convection heat sink or other heat dissipation structure can be connected to the lamp board c2.
[0236] like Figures 21 to 22 As shown, a specific application example D in this embodiment three is as follows:
[0237] To apply the treatment to internal organs, multiple therapeutic light generator groups are arranged in a polygonal ring array around the same preset center in the radial direction. Each therapeutic light generator group consists of multiple single therapeutic light LED beads d1 arranged in a polygonal ring, and the multiple therapeutic light generator groups are fixed on a circular light plate d2. Alternatively, a single therapeutic light LED bead d1 can be distributed at the preset center. In this embodiment, the ring array can be a circular ring, a square ring, a polygonal ring, etc., without limitation.
[0238] In this embodiment, multiple therapeutic light generator groups may be arrayed along a preset center line to both sides. Each therapeutic light generator group consists of multiple single therapeutic light LED beads d1 arranged in a parallel strip array, and the multiple therapeutic light generator groups are fixed on the lamp plate d2.
[0239] The modulated traveling wave group device includes a dimming component, which is electrically connected to each group of therapeutic light generators and is used to control the power supply to each group of therapeutic light generators so that the therapeutic light irradiated onto the irradiated object generates a traveling wave group.
[0240] Taking the lamp panel d2 as a planar plate structure as an example, it generates a two-dimensional diffusion motion traveling wave group. Taking a configuration with ten therapeutic light generator groups, three of which are lit simultaneously, as an example, the on / off control is as follows (group numbers are ordered from the inner circle to the outer circle):
[0241] At time point zero, the first, second, and third light therapy generator groups all lit up;
[0242] At the first point in time, the first light therapy generator group turns off, and at the same time the fourth light therapy generator group turns on;
[0243] At the second time point, the second light therapy generator group was turned off, and at the same time the fifth light therapy generator group was turned on;
[0244] At the third time point, the third light therapy generator group was turned off, and at the same time the sixth light therapy generator group was turned on.
[0245] This process continues in a cyclical manner, forming a group of therapeutic light waves that diffuse.
[0246] When the light panel d2 is designed as a spherical, inner spherical, or curved panel structure, a three-dimensional diffusion wave group can be generated.
[0247] Taking the on / off control in step S111 as an example, the dimming component may specifically include multiple programmable switches, which are connected one-to-one with each physiotherapy light generator group to control the on / off power of each physiotherapy light generator group respectively.
[0248] Regarding the control in step S112, the dimming component may further include a pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) device or a pulse width modulation (PWM) device. This device can not only adjust the illumination brightness of each group of individual therapeutic LED beads d1 by regulating the power, but also adjust the therapeutic light waveform output by each group of individual therapeutic LED beads d1, such as square wave, sine wave, or pulse wave. This allows each group of individual therapeutic LED beads d1 to control brightness or waveform output changes according to a certain preset mode during the illumination mode control process.
[0249] To ensure the focusing effect, each single therapeutic LED lamp bead d1 is equipped with a corresponding reflector cup. Each reflector cup is connected to a light guide tube, which can be of the same or different heights, and the design can be varied according to actual needs.
[0250] Furthermore, in order to ensure the sustainable use of the single therapeutic LED lamp bead d1 and avoid thermal damage due to insufficient heat dissipation, the therapeutic light source device designed in this application also includes a device housing d5 and a convection heat sink d4. The lamp board d2 is installed in the device housing d5, and a heat insulation layer d3 is installed between the lamp board d2 and the device housing d5. The convection heat sink d4 can be an active heat dissipation module, such as a fan, which can be installed on the back of the device housing d5. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the convection heat sink d4, a heat dissipation air inlet d6 can be opened on the device housing d5, and / or a heat dissipation air inlet can also be added to the lamp board d2, without any restrictions.
[0251] Example 4:
[0252] This fourth embodiment is an application example that combines the above-described embodiments two and three. It can be understood that step S11 and step S12 are combined:
[0253] That is, while performing step S12, step S11 can be performed simultaneously.
[0254] The modulated traveling wave group device includes not only a posture adjustment component but also a dimming component. When the posture adjustment component moves the physiotherapy light source device, the dimming component can adjust the irradiation mode of the physiotherapy light source device.
[0255] Specifically, it can be found in the above Figure 7 Based on the design of the specific application example B, the following combination is added. Figure 21 / Figure 22 The corresponding specific application example D scheme dimming component design is used to combine or add to embodiments two and three. Figure 31 / Figure 32 The specific application example G is designed with a spiral grating component to combine Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 5.
[0256] Example 5:
[0257] This fifth embodiment of the application is a further explanation of step S13 described above.
[0258] In this fifth embodiment, the modulated traveling wave group device can be designed to include a device body and an outgoing light modulation component. The "outgoing light modulation component" is a device design capable of modulating the outgoing light.
[0259] The main body of the device is provided with a light cavity, which has an inlet for the therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source device to enter, or the therapeutic light source device is set inside the light cavity.
[0260] The light cavity is also equipped with a light outlet for the therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source device to irradiate the human body.
[0261] Step S13 is as follows:
[0262] Control the emitted light adjustment component to move, rotate, open, or close the light outlet.
[0263] like Figures 23 to 26 As shown, a specific application example E in this embodiment five is as follows:
[0264] In this application example, there are multiple output ports e2, which are arranged according to a preset pattern, such as linear array or ring array.
[0265] The emitted light adjustment assembly is designed to include a drive mechanism e4 and multiple grating plates e3.
[0266] Multiple grating plates e3 are rotatably installed at the light outlet e2 position, corresponding to each other. The drive mechanism e4 is connected to each grating plate e3 and is used to drive each grating plate e3 to rotate.
[0267] Step S13 is as follows:
[0268] The control drive mechanism e4 drives each grating plate e3 to rotate, thereby controlling the opening or closing of each light outlet e2.
[0269] In application example E, the physiotherapy light source is infrared light. The physiotherapy light source device can be designed to include an infrared light radiation plate e6, which is installed in the optical cavity e1, specifically at the top of the optical cavity e1. Taking the optical cavity e1 as an example of a long, narrow cavity, the physiotherapy light radiation plate can be a long, flat radiator structure that radiates infrared light into the optical cavity e1 from one side, or it can be a long, cylindrical radiator with a reflector structure to adjust the unidirectional projection of infrared light into the optical cavity e1.
[0270] Taking the infrared radiation plate e6 installed in the optical cavity e1 as an example, in order to make full use of infrared light and reduce the temperature rise of the equipment due to the absorption of infrared light, a reflective layer e5 is laid in the optical cavity e1. The reflective layer e5 is made of plating materials such as silver, gold, copper, and aluminum, which have high reflectivity in the infrared light band. The reflective layer e5 is used to reflect the infrared light radiated by the infrared radiation plate e6 toward the light outlet e2. At the same time, a heat insulation layer e7 is provided between the infrared radiation plate e6 and the inner wall of the optical cavity e1.
[0271] It should be noted that one optical cavity e1 can correspond to one or more columns of optical ports e2, and one or more infrared radiation plates e6 can be configured in one optical cavity e1, without any specific restrictions.
[0272] By controlling the opening and closing of each light-emitting port e2, the infrared light illuminating the object through the light-emitting port e2 generates a traveling wave group. It can be understood that by controlling the opening and closing state of each light-emitting port e2, the infrared light illuminating the object through the light-emitting port e2 dynamically changes to generate a traveling wave group.
[0273] The light-emitting ports e2 can be arranged in multiple rows, arranged in parallel intervals. Correspondingly, there can also be multiple light-emitting adjustment components, each corresponding to one of the light-emitting ports e2. Setting multiple rows of light-emitting ports e2 can form multiple infrared traveling wave groups on the irradiated object, and each row of light-emitting ports e2 can be used to irradiate a corresponding meridian. This design can simultaneously irradiate multiple meridians in the same or different directions and modes, thus improving its applicability.
[0274] For the design of the drive mechanism e4 in this application example E, it may include multiple regulators or actuators. Taking the irradiation of four bladder meridians and one Du meridian as an example, the grating plate e5 is designed with five columns, and the multiple regulators of the drive mechanism e4 are designed to be arranged in two columns.
[0275] The grating plate e3 in the middle column corresponds to the Du meridian, while the four grating plates e3 outside the middle column each correspond to a bladder meridian. The grating plates e3 in the middle column are installed and rotated independently via the first rotating shaft e8. The grating plates e3 in each of the other four columns are installed and rotated coaxially via the second rotating shaft e9. To avoid the installation of the second rotating shaft e9, the first rotating shaft e8 can be a hollow rotating shaft design. The second rotating shaft e9 passes through the first rotating shaft e8 to achieve coaxial connection of the four grating plates e3 outside the middle column in the corresponding row.
[0276] In the drive mechanism e4, multiple regulators in the first column drive each of the first rotating shafts e8 in the middle column to rotate, thereby driving each grating plate e3 in the middle column to rotate. It can be understood that each grating plate e3 in the middle column is independently controlled by a regulator.
[0277] In the drive mechanism e4, multiple adjusters in the second column drive the four rows of grating plates e3 located outside the middle column. Specifically, the multiple adjusters in the second column control the rotation of each second rotating shaft e9, thereby controlling the rotation of the coaxially arranged grating plates e3 in each row. With the above design, two columns of adjusters that make set movements including traveling wave groups in opposite directions can drive the middle column grating plate group (the middle column grating plate e3) and other columns of grating plate groups (the four rows of grating plates e3 outside the middle column) respectively, so that the traveling wave groups of therapeutic light generated by the middle column grating plate group travel in the opposite direction to the traveling wave groups of therapeutic light generated by the other columns of grating plate groups.
[0278] It should be noted that the traveling wave group moves in the direction that the light output ports open sequentially. In use, each row of grating plates is controlled sequentially from one end to the other to open the light output port e2 and emit infrared light, thus generating a therapeutic traveling wave group. This can be achieved by fully opening the next light output port e2 while the previous one is completely closed. Alternatively, the light output ports e2 can be opened and closed sequentially from the middle port e2 towards the two ends, and vice versa. The programmable control can also be designed to simultaneously and continuously open multiple light output ports e2 to form a longer light output port, thus widening the envelope of the traveling wave group.
[0279] Taking a linear arrangement of 0 to Y optical output ports as an example, and designing for 6 consecutive optical output ports e2 to be opened simultaneously, the switching control sequence is as follows:
[0280] At time point zero, the nth to (n+5th) light output ports e2 are simultaneously turned on;
[0281] At the first time point, the nth output port e2 is closed, and the (n+6)th output port e2 is opened simultaneously;
[0282] At the second time point, the (n+1)th output port e2 is closed, and the (n+7)th output port e2 is opened simultaneously;
[0283] At the third time point, the (n+2)th light output port e2 is closed, and the (n+8)th light output port e2 is opened simultaneously;
[0284] This process continues in a cyclical manner, forming a linearly moving therapeutic light wave group.
[0285] The regulators in this application can all be reversible servo motors, electromagnetic actuators, or pneumatic actuators.
[0286] This application example applies to simultaneous action on four Bladder Meridians and the Governing Vessel. The four Bladder Meridians are acted upon by the grating plate groups other than the middle row (grating plates e3 in the four rows other than the middle row), with the wave group direction from the head and neck to the thigh. The Governing Vessel is acted upon by the middle row of grating plates (grating plates e3 in the middle row), with the wave group direction from the coccyx to the head and neck.
[0287] like Figures 27 to 30 As shown, a specific application example F in this embodiment five is as follows:
[0288] In this application example, the emitted light adjustment assembly is designed to include a grating plate group, a transport assembly f4, a drive mechanism f5, and a transmission assembly f6.
[0289] The conveying component f4 is mounted on the main body of the device and blocks the optical cavity f1; the driving mechanism f5 is connected to the conveying component f4 through the transmission component f6 and is used to drive the conveying component f4 to move, thereby driving the grating plate group to move.
[0290] The design of the conveyor assembly f4 includes two conveyor belts f41.
[0291] The two conveyor belts f41 are parallel and spaced apart.
[0292] The grating plate assembly includes multiple grating plates f3, which are detachably mounted between two conveyor belts f41 to shield the optical cavity f1.
[0293] Specifically, multiple grating plates f3 are arrayed between two conveyor belts f41 to block the therapeutic light emitted from the optical cavity f1. The light outlet f8 is formed by the gaps in the missing grating plates. The width of the light outlet f8 can be determined by the number of missing grating plates or the total width of the missing grating plates, and can be designed and varied according to actual needs. The conveyor assembly f4 constructed in this way has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble. Each grating plate f3 can be detachably fastened to the two conveyor belts f41 with screws. The formation of the light outlet f8 is also convenient; simply removing one or more adjacent grating plates f3 is sufficient to form the light outlet f8. This provides greater flexibility and applicability.
[0294] Step S13 is as follows:
[0295] The control drive mechanism f5 drives the conveying component f4 to move, which in turn drives the light outlet f8 to move.
[0296] Taking the design of the conveyor belt f41 as a synchronous belt as an example, the transmission component f6 can be specifically designed to include a drive shaft f61, a drive pulley f62, a driven shaft f63, and a driven pulley f64. The drive shaft f61 and the driven shaft f63 are pivotally connected to the main body of the device, while the two drive pulleys f62 are fixed at intervals on the drive shaft f61, and the two driven pulleys f64 are fixed on the driven shaft f63. The two conveyor belts f41 are then respectively connected to the corresponding drive pulleys f62 and driven pulleys f64 for transmission. Specifically, the drive pulleys f62 and driven pulleys f64 are rolled with the corresponding conveyor belts f41 to achieve transmission.
[0297] The drive mechanism f5 can be specifically designed to include an adjustable speed reduction motor f51 and a coupling f52. The output shaft of the reduction motor f51 is connected to the drive shaft f62 through the coupling f52, thereby driving the two conveyor belts f41 to move synchronously, which in turn drives the light outlet f8 to move.
[0298] Similar to the aforementioned application example A, the main body of the device can also be equipped with multiple light guides f7 to guide the therapeutic light from the light outlet f8 to the human body, thereby enhancing the irradiation contrast effect.
[0299] In this application example F, the physiotherapy light source is infrared light. The physiotherapy light source device f2 can be designed to include an infrared light radiation plate, which is installed in the optical cavity f1. Taking the optical cavity f1 as an example of a long, narrow cavity, the infrared light radiation plate can be a long, flat radiator structure that radiates infrared light into the optical cavity f1 from one side, or it can be a long, cylindrical radiator with a reflector structure to adjust the unidirectional projection of infrared light into the optical cavity f1.
[0300] In order to make full use of the infrared light source and reduce the temperature rise of the equipment due to the absorption of infrared light, the surface of the grating plate f3 facing the optical cavity and the surface of the optical cavity f1 are covered with reflective layers made of coating materials such as silver, gold, copper, and aluminum, which have high reflectivity in the infrared light band.
[0301] This application example F applies to the simultaneous action of four bladder meridians, with the direction of the wave group acting on the four bladder meridians from the head and neck to the thigh.
[0302] like Figure 31 As shown in Figure 32, a specific application example G in this fifth embodiment is as follows:
[0303] In this application example, the emitted light adjustment assembly is designed to include a grating plate g1 and a drive mechanism g4.
[0304] The grating plate g1 is mounted on the main body of the device and blocks the optical cavity. The light outlet g5 is opened on the grating plate g1 and is spirally arranged in all directions from the center of the grating plate g1. The drive mechanism g4 is connected to the grating plate g1.
[0305] Step S13 is as follows:
[0306] The control drive mechanism g4 drives the grating plate g1 to rotate, thereby driving the light outlet g5 to rotate.
[0307] When the aforementioned spiral light outlet g5 is rotating, the therapeutic light irradiated onto the irradiated object will dynamically change from the center to the surrounding areas, thereby forming a traveling wave group.
[0308] From the perspective of improving the utilization rate of the grating plate g1, the grating plate g1 is preferably designed as a circular plate structure. The main body of the device is designed to include a device housing g3, which has a light cavity g7. The physiotherapy light source is selected as infrared light, and the infrared light radiation plate device g2 is placed in the light cavity. The grating plate g1 covers the light cavity, and a heat insulation layer g6 is provided between the infrared light radiation plate g2 and the device housing g3. The device housing g3 is also provided with heat dissipation air inlets g8 to improve the heat dissipation effect.
[0309] The drive mechanism g4 is mounted on the back of the device housing g3 and can be designed to include a forward and reverse reversible drive motor g41 and a reducer g42. The output shaft of the drive motor g41 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer g42, and the output shaft of the reducer g42 is connected to the grating plate g1, thereby driving the grating plate g1 to rotate.
[0310] If we use a polar coordinate system for analysis:
[0311] r = the distance from the center line of the grating to the center of the circle;
[0312] The grating plate g1 rotates at a constant angular velocity dθ / dt = ω;
[0313] The light spot moves away from the center of the circle with a radial velocity of dr / dt = v;
[0314] The equation of the arc is dr / dθ = v / ω = b;
[0315] The resulting sub-Chimid spiral is the same spiral as the light outlet g5 on the grating plate g1:
[0316] r = a + bθ;
[0317] The light outlet g5 is designed based on this spiral.
[0318] Of course, this specific case utilizes constant v and ω, which means choosing the linear diffusion speed of the spot ring and the grating rotation speed, but it does not rule out that other similar spirals will produce similar or better results.
[0319] In order to make full use of the infrared light source and reduce the temperature rise of the equipment due to the absorption of infrared light, the surface of the grating plate g1 facing the optical cavity is covered with a reflective layer made of plating materials such as silver, gold, copper, and aluminum, which have high reflectivity in the infrared light band.
[0320] A specific application example H in this embodiment five is as follows:
[0321] In this application example, the emitted light conditioning assembly is designed to include an optical fiber and a drive mechanism.
[0322] One end of the optical fiber is connected to the light-emitting end of the physiotherapy light source device, and a flexible light-shielding tube can be fitted over the optical fiber.
[0323] The drive mechanism is connected to the other end of the optical fiber, specifically to the light-shielding tube.
[0324] Step S13 is as follows:
[0325] The control drive mechanism drives the other end of the optical fiber to move.
[0326] Light is guided by optical fibers, and the other end of the optical fibers forms a light outlet for the therapeutic light to be emitted. By utilizing the deformable characteristics of optical fibers, the light spot can be displaced and its angle changed by moving the light outlet of the optical fibers in multiple dimensions. This allows the therapeutic light irradiated on the human body to change dynamically and generate traveling wave groups.
[0327] The driving mechanism can be a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, etc., without any restrictions.
[0328] Example 6:
[0329] This sixth embodiment is a further explanation of step S13 described above. However, it differs from the method of controlling the light output port in embodiment five.
[0330] In this embodiment, the modulated traveling wave group device is designed to include an optical processing module.
[0331] Step S13 has three execution methods:
[0332] Execution 1: Control the light processing module to perform image processing and projection processing on the therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source device.
[0333] Execution 2: Control the light processing module to process the travel angle of the physiotherapy light.
[0334] Execution 3: Execution 1 and Execution 2 will be carried out together.
[0335] like Figure 33 As shown, a specific application example I in this embodiment six is as follows:
[0336] In this application example, the light processing module is designed to include a light source modulation module i2 and a light spot displacement driving mechanism i1. The light spot displacement driving mechanism i1 includes a biaxial mirror module and a driving module for driving the biaxial mirror module. The biaxial mirror module can be one or any combination of a mirror, a refracting mirror, and a galvanometer. The modulation traveling wave group device may also include a device body, which has an optical cavity i3. The optical cavity i3 has an inlet for the therapeutic light emitted by the light source modulation module i2 to enter, or the light source modulation module i2 is placed in the optical cavity i3. The therapeutic light source device can be integrated into the light source modulation module i2 so that the light source modulation module i2 can modulate the therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source device.
[0337] The biaxial mirror module is installed in the optical cavity i3, and the optical cavity i3 is provided with an outlet i4 for the therapeutic light reflected by the biaxial mirror module to be emitted.
[0338] Step S13 is as follows:
[0339] The control beam displacement drive mechanism makes a two-dimensional axial angular pendulum motion of the therapeutic light modulated by the light source modulation module.
[0340] In this design, the light spot of the therapeutic light irradiating the object is controlled to move along a preset trajectory by rotating the reflector, thereby generating a traveling wave group.
[0341] The therapeutic light emitted after modulation by the light source modulation module i2 can be a beam, such as a therapeutic laser, a monochromatic light source with a narrow bandwidth, or a composite light source of multiple therapeutic laser sources with different wavelengths. It is emitted onto the biaxial mirror module of its direct beam displacement drive mechanism i1. The drive module of the beam displacement drive mechanism i1 then controls the horizontal and vertical rotation angles of the biaxial mirror module based on a corresponding program. The beam swing angle will be twice the swing angle of the biaxial mirror module. By controlling the horizontal and vertical rotation of the biaxial mirror module, a one-dimensional to three-dimensional small-beam illumination effect can be generated in a specific space, thereby producing a traveling wave group.
[0342] Regarding the design of the galvanometer, the specific implementation methods such as its swing control can be referred to the working principle of the galvanometer in existing laser cutting machines, and will not be elaborated here.
[0343] like Figure 34 As shown in Figure 35, a specific application example J in this embodiment six is as follows:
[0344] In this application example, the physiotherapy light source device j1 is designed as an infrared laser device, that is, the physiotherapy light source is an infrared laser.
[0345] The light processing module is designed to include a light source adjustment module j1 and a projection module j3.
[0346] The light source adjustment module J1 is used to collimate and expand the therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source device. The therapeutic light source device can be integrated into the light source adjustment module J1.
[0347] Projection module J3 is used to perform image processing and projection (reflection, focusing, etc.) on the therapeutic light after it has been collimated and expanded by light source adjustment module J1.
[0348] In this application example, the projection module j3 is a Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD), which includes a DMD module j31 and a projection lens j32. A DMD is broadly defined as a spatial light modulator. The DMD receives the collimated and expanded therapeutic light emitted by the therapeutic light source and projects it onto the irradiated object. It also includes a control module j2, which is electrically connected to the light source adjustment module j1 and the DMD module j31. This design also includes a module housing j5, which has a light cavity for the collimated and expanded therapeutic light from the light source adjustment module j1 to enter. The DMD module j31 and the projection lens j32 are mounted on the module housing j5. A light-absorbing plate j51 is located on one side of the module housing j5, and a heat sink j4 is connected to the side of the light-absorbing plate away from the module housing j5.
[0349] Step S13 is as follows:
[0350] Control module J2 drives the projection module to perform image processing and projection processing on the therapeutic beam after collimation and beam expansion by the light source adjustment module. Control module J2 can control the light source adjustment module J1, causing the therapeutic light source device J1 to modulate the infrared light source. On the other hand, control module J2 can drive the projection module J3 to perform image processing and projection processing on the therapeutic light after collimation and beam expansion by the light source adjustment module J1 (control module J2 controls the coordinated interaction between the therapeutic light source device J1 and the projection module J3 to achieve light source adjustment and image processing). It can be understood that control module J2 controls DMD module J31 to project several pre-set moving light spots, thereby generating several traveling wave groups. Unused infrared light is projected onto light-absorbing plate J51, converting light energy into heat energy, which is then dissipated into the environment through heat sink J4.
[0351] The therapeutic light emitted by the light source adjustment module J1 can be a single laser beam, or it can be a composite light source consisting of multiple beams of orange light, red light, and multiple infrared laser sources of different wavelengths.
[0352] In this application example, the projection module j3 is a Texas Instruments industrial general-purpose DMD module DLP650LNIR, with specifications of 0.65-inch matrix chip; 1280 x 800 (WXGA) array; 10.8 micrometer micromirror pitch; diamond array orientation to support side illumination; tilt angle ±12°; efficient control of infrared light from 800 nm to 2000 nm; maximum incident power of 160 W; polarization-independent aluminum micromirrors; binary pattern rate of 12.5 kHz; compatible with DLPC410 controller, but can also be other types of controllers, with no specific restrictions.
[0353] For the control of the DMD module j31, please refer to the existing DMD projection working principle, which will not be elaborated here.
[0354] The above provides a detailed description of the therapeutic light modulation traveling wave group method provided in this application. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
