Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of light therapy, and in particular to a wearable light therapy device. Background Art

[0002] Existing medical beauty institutions' fat reduction and body shaping beauty services mostly use laser, freezing, radio frequency or ultrasound to perform multiple treatments, but all of the above treatment methods have certain side effects and a long period of effectiveness. In the field of home fat reduction and body shaping, EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) belts are often used to stimulate the waist muscles with microcurrents to promote muscle contraction, and they also add heating, vibration and other functions. However, because EMS belts use microcurrents to stimulate muscles for contraction, they are prone to problems such as limited body control and pain, with large side effects, and there is no relevant clinical data to show that they can effectively reduce fat and shape the body.

[0003] However, with the development of LLLT (low-level light therapy) technology, it has gradually been adopted in the medical aesthetics industry, achieving excellent results in fat reduction and body shaping. LLLT works by irradiating the skin with a weak semiconductor laser of a specific wavelength at areas of fat accumulation. This low-power laser does not cause irreversible damage to target tissues and is painless or burning. It activates the metabolic process of cytochrome C oxidase on the surface of adipocytes through a photochemical reaction, creating temporary pores on the adipocyte surface, releasing the internal fat into the body for metabolic combustion and energy supply. This process restores the previously enlarged adipocytes to their normal size, achieving the goal of fat reduction and body shaping, with a short duration of effect. Furthermore, clinical data show that LLLT technology for fat reduction and body shaping is painless and has a high safety profile. However, existing phototherapy devices using LLLT technology generally suffer from large size, making them difficult to carry and store, making them unsuitable for home use. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a wearable phototherapy device that is suitable for home use and easy to carry and store.

[0005] In order to achieve the main purpose of the present invention, the present invention provides a wearable phototherapy device, which includes a main unit, a fastener, a control unit and a power supply unit. The main unit includes a wrapping base and a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is installed on the wrapping base. The flexible circuit board is provided with a light-emitting lamp group. The light-emitting lamp group can emit red light. The wavelength of the red light is between 615 nanometers and 665 nanometers. The fastener is connected to the wrapping base. The fastener can limit and fix the wrapping base and / or form a wrapping position between the fastener and the wrapping base. The control unit is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the control unit. The power supply unit is provided with a control module and / or the wearable phototherapy device also includes a remote control. The control module is electrically connected to the control unit, and the remote control and the control unit exchange information.

[0006] As can be seen from the above, through the design of the wearable light therapy device, the wearable light therapy device can achieve low-level light therapy (LLLT), which is beneficial for users to reduce fat and shape their bodies without side effects and with good effects, and improves the safety of users using the wearable light therapy device; at the same time, the wearable light therapy device is easy to use, easy to store and carry, and is suitable for use at home and when traveling.

[0009] Another preferred solution is that the wrapping base has a receiving recess, and the flexible circuit board is placed in the receiving recess.

[0010] As can be seen from the above, the design of the accommodating recess can prevent the light group from fitting into the user's skin, thereby preventing the light group from scalding the user's skin.

[0011] Another preferred solution is that the main unit further includes a light-transmitting plate, which is mounted on the wrapping base and covers the opening of the accommodating recess; and the light-transmitting plate is elastically deformable.

[0013] A further solution is that the wearable phototherapy device also includes a temperature sensor, which is arranged on the flexible circuit board or in the accommodating recess, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board or to the control unit.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, the temperature sensor can be used to monitor the working temperature of the light lamp group in real time, so that when the working temperature of the light lamp group is too high, the auxiliary control unit cuts off the power supply and stops the light lamp group from working, thereby preventing users from being burned or scalded.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, this design diversifies the communication methods between the control unit and the remote control to meet the needs of different users and enhance the user experience.

[0021] A further solution is that the fastener is a strap, a locking assembly or a fixing bracket.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, the setting of the fasteners can be diversified, so that the wearable light therapy device has different uses to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0033] Wearable light therapy device first embodiment

[0034] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 The wearable phototherapy device 100 includes a main unit 1, a fastener 2, a control unit 3 and a power supply unit.

[0035] Combine Figure 3 The main unit 1 includes a covering substrate 11 and a flexible circuit board 12. The covering substrate 11 is preferably made of silicone material. Preferably, the silicone is medical grade silicone to improve the safety of the covering substrate 11.

[0036] The flexible circuit board 12 is mounted on the wrapping base 11. A light assembly 121 is provided on the flexible circuit board 12. The flexible circuit board 12 is electrically connected to the control unit 3. The wrapping base 11 preferably has a receiving recess 111. The flexible circuit board 12 is placed within the receiving recess 111, and the light assembly 121 is positioned toward the opening of the receiving recess 111. Since the light assembly 121 generates heat during operation, the provision of a receiving recess 111 on the wrapping base 11 to accommodate the flexible circuit board 12 prevents the light assembly 121 from being too close to or attached to the user's skin, thereby preventing skin burns. The light assembly 121 can emit red light, the wavelength of which is preferably between 615 nanometers and 665 nanometers; preferably, the wavelength of the red light is 640 nanometers.

[0037] Furthermore, the light-emitting lamp group 121 can also emit at least one of near-infrared light, yellow light and blue light. Preferably, the light-emitting lamp group 121 can emit near-infrared light, yellow light and blue light. Among them, the wavelength of the near-infrared light is preferably between 830 nanometers and 930 nanometers, and preferably, the wavelength of the near-infrared light is 880 nanometers; the wavelength of the yellow light is preferably between 585 nanometers and 595 nanometers, and preferably, the wavelength of the yellow light is 590 nanometers; the wavelength of the blue light is between 455 nanometers and 475 nanometers, and preferably, the wavelength of the blue light is 465 nanometers. This design enables the wearable light therapy device 100 to have the functions of treating arthritis, muscle injuries, hair loss, etc., as well as the functions of facial acne removal, facial soothing, etc., thereby improving the practicality of the wearable light therapy device 100 and expanding the scope of application of the wearable light therapy device 100.

[0038] The control unit 3 can control the light assembly 121 to emit monochromatic light, mixed light (i.e., emitting two or more lights simultaneously), or alternating light (i.e., emitting only one color of light at a time, but displaying multiple colors alternately). For example, the light assembly 121 can emit red light for contouring the waist, abdomen, and legs; or emit near-infrared light for treating aches and pains; or emit red and near-infrared light for facial wrinkle removal; or emit red and blue light for facial acne removal; or emit yellow and near-infrared light for facial soothing, and so on.

[0039] In addition, the main unit 1 preferably includes a light-transmitting plate 13, which is mounted on the covering base 11, and the covering base 11 covers the opening of the receiving recess 111. The light-transmitting plate 13 is preferably elastically deformable, so that the light-transmitting plate 13 can elastically deform along with the covering base 11. The provision of the light-transmitting plate 13 can further prevent the light-emitting lamp assembly 121 from directly contacting the user's skin, and can also enhance the lighting effect of the light-emitting lamp assembly 121, thereby improving the therapeutic effect.

[0040] The fastener 2 is connected to the wrapping base 11, and the fastener 2 can limit and fix the wrapping base 11 and / or form a wrapping position 20 between the fastener 2 and the wrapping base 11. The wearable phototherapy device 100 can be configured with one fastener 2 or more than two fasteners 2, and the structures and types of the two or more fasteners 2 can be the same or different. For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the fastener 2 can be a strap, wherein the strap can be a Velcro strap, an elastic strap or other types of straps; for example, the fastener 2 can be a lock assembly; for example, Figure 4 As shown, the fastener 2 can be a fixing bracket 2', wherein the fixing bracket 2' has a first fixing portion 21 and a second fixing portion 22. The first fixing portion 21 and the second fixing portion 22 can be used to limit and fix the two ends of the wrapping base 11. It can be seen that the configuration of the fastener 2 can be diversified, so that the wearable light therapy device 100 has different uses to meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0041] In addition, the shape of the coating substrate 11 can also be varied, for example, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the wrapping base 11 can be in the shape of a belt, so that the wrapping base 11 can be wrapped and fixed around the user's waist, arms, legs, neck, etc. with a belt-type or lock assembly; for example, Figure 4 As shown, the belt-like wrapping base 11 can be used in conjunction with a fixing bracket-like fixing member, so that a wrapping position 20 is formed between the fixing member and the wrapping base 11. In this way, when using it, the user can lie down and place the waist, arms, legs, neck or face in the wrapping position 20 for treatment. For another example, Figure 5 As shown, the covering base 11 can be in the shape of a mask, and when the covering base 11 is in the shape of a mask 1', the covering base 11 uses silicone with higher hardness or a bracket is set in the covering base 11, so that the covering base 11 has better strength; for example, the covering base 11 can be in the shape of a hat, so that the user can wear it on the head to care for and treat the head. It can be seen that the shape setting of the covering base 11 can be diversified to meet the user's treatment needs for different parts of the body. Furthermore, the same wearable phototherapy device 100 can be configured with more than two main units 1, and the shape of the covering base 11 of each main unit 1 can be exactly the same, partially the same, or different, so that the user can treat multiple different parts of the body at the same time, saving the user's time and improving the user experience.

[0042] The power supply unit preferably includes a power supply 41, which includes a battery module 411. The battery module 411 of the power supply 41 is electrically connected to the control unit 3 to power the control unit 3 and the flexible circuit board 12. By providing the power supply 41, the wearable light therapy device 100 can be used without being connected to the mains, thereby making the use of the wearable light therapy device 100 more convenient and flexible. Preferably, the control unit 3 can be provided within the power supply 41 to protect the control unit 3 and make the structure of the wearable light therapy device 100 more compact and reasonable.

[0043] In addition, as an optional solution, the power supply 41 preferably also includes a power conversion module 42, and the power conversion module 42 is electrically connected to the battery module 411. By providing the power conversion module 42 in the power supply 41, the trouble of additionally configuring a power adapter can be avoided, making the structure of the wearable light therapy device 100 simpler and the cost lower. Of course, as another optional solution, the power conversion module 42 may not be provided, but a power adapter may be provided, and the power adapter may be electrically connected to the battery module 411. Furthermore, as another optional solution, the power supply 41 may be eliminated, and the power adapter may be directly provided to be electrically connected to the control unit 3.

[0044] Combine Figure 6The wearable light therapy device 100 also includes a remote control 5, which can exchange information with the control unit 3. The remote control 5 includes at least one of buttons 51, a touchscreen display, and a voice recognition module. For example, in this embodiment, the remote control 5 includes buttons 51 and a voice recognition module. The voice recognition module can be activated by an activation button 53 on the remote control 5 to receive command input, or it can be directly activated by a wake-up word to receive command input. Furthermore, if the remote control 5 does not utilize a touchscreen display, a conventional display 52 can be provided to display the operating status of the wearable light therapy device 100. The remote control 5 allows the user to control the start and stop of the wearable light therapy device 100, select the function to be performed by the wearable light therapy device 100 (such as fat reduction and body shaping, facial wrinkle reduction, soreness treatment, acne treatment, allergy relief, etc.), and control the lighting mode of the light assembly 121 of the wearable light therapy device 100.

[0045] Preferably, the control unit 3 includes a first wireless communication module, and the remote control 5 includes a second wireless communication module, with the first and second wireless communication modules exchanging information. The first wireless communication module includes a first Bluetooth module, and the second wireless communication module includes a second Bluetooth module; and / or the first wireless communication module also includes a first WiFi module, and the second wireless communication module also includes a first WiFi module; and / or the first wireless communication module also includes an infrared receiving module, and the second wireless communication module also includes an infrared transmitting module. If a user's mobile terminal (such as a cell phone or tablet) has a Bluetooth module, a WiFi module, and an infrared transmitting module, the user can also control the wearable light therapy device 100 through the mobile terminal.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the wearable light therapy device 100 preferably also includes a temperature sensor 6, which is disposed on the flexible circuit board 12 and is electrically connected to the flexible circuit board 12. Of course, the temperature sensor 6 can also be disposed within the receiving recess 111, and / or the temperature sensor 6 can be electrically connected to the control unit 3 instead of the flexible circuit board 12. The temperature sensor 6 is used to monitor the operating temperature of the light assembly 121 in real time. When the operating temperature of the light assembly 121 is too high, the auxiliary control unit 3 cuts off the power supply 41, causing the light assembly 121 to suspend operation, thereby preventing burns or scalds to the user.

[0047] In summary, it can be seen that through the design of the wearable phototherapy device 100, the wearable phototherapy device 100 can achieve low-energy laser therapy (LLLT) and improve the safety of users using the wearable phototherapy device 100; at the same time, the wearable phototherapy device 100 is easy to use, easy to store and carry, and is suitable for use at home and when traveling.

[0048] Second embodiment of wearable light therapy device

[0049] Combine Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment of the wearable light therapy device is that, in this embodiment:

[0050] The power supply unit 7 is provided with a control module, and the control module is preferably provided on the power supply 71. The control module is electrically connected to the control unit 8. By setting the control module, the user can control the wearable phototherapy device through the control module to start and stop, select the functions to be performed by the wearable phototherapy device (such as fat reduction and body shaping, facial wrinkle removal, soreness treatment, acne removal, allergy relief, etc.), and can also control the light mode of the light-emitting lamp group of the wearable phototherapy device through the control module; and so on.

[0051] The control module includes at least one of a button 72, a touch screen display, and a voice recognition module. For example, in this embodiment, the control module includes a button 72 and a voice recognition module. The voice recognition module can be activated by an activation button 73 of the control module to input a command, or it can be directly activated by a wake-up word to input a command. In addition, when the control module does not use a touch screen display, a normal display 74 can be provided on the power supply to display the working status of the wearable light therapy device.

[0052] It should be noted that the wearable phototherapy device can be equipped with both a control module and a remote controller, or only a remote controller, or only a control module.

[0053] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
