[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 The red light therapy device for treating allergic rhinitis includes a medicine box 1 and a laser head 3. The laser head 3 includes a cylindrical shell and an infrared generator perpendicularly inserted into the middle of the cylindrical shell; the infrared generator can use 630nm red light. The cylindrical shell includes two interlocking half-shell structures, facilitating the assembly of the laser head 3. The medicine box 1 includes a conical cylindrical body and a medicine cap 15 mounted on the body. Specifically, the radius of the top end of the body is smaller than the radius of the bottom end, and the sides are inclined. The medicine cap 15 is positioned at the top of the body.
[0026] The medicine cap 15 has a through hole 14 in the middle, the through hole 14 has a circular cross-section, and the axis of the through hole 14 is aligned with the axis of the main body. The main body has multiple evaporation holes 16 on its side wall, and a cavity is formed between the bottom surface of the medicine cap 15 and the inner side wall of the main body. The cavity can be used to contain therapeutic drugs, such as Xanthium sibiricum oil.
[0027] The main body has slots 17 on both sides of its bottom, and locking blocks are installed on both sides of the laser emitting end of the laser head 3. The two locking blocks can be engaged into their corresponding slots 17 through their elastic deformation, thereby connecting the main body to the laser head 3, and allowing the medicine box 1 to be detachably installed on the laser emitting end of the laser head 3. In other embodiments, the medicine box 1 can also be detachably installed on the laser emitting end of the laser head 3 using bolts.
[0028] Because the cavity connects the evaporation hole 16 and the through hole 14, the medication contained in the cavity can evaporate and flow out through the evaporation hole 16 and the through hole 14. During use, the laser head 3, with the end containing the medicine box 1, is inserted into the nasal cavity requiring treatment. By turning on the laser head 3, infrared laser light is emitted, passing through the through hole 14 and irradiating the nasal cavity, inhibiting the inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa. As the temperature slowly rises, the medication inside the medicine box evaporates more rapidly and may even flow out. Under warm conditions, the absorption efficiency of the medication in the nasal cavity increases. This synergistic effect of the red light therapy from the laser head and the evaporation and outflow of the medication activates the herbal ingredients through a photosensitization reaction, achieving a dual effect of anti-inflammatory and tissue repair. It effectively relieves symptoms of rhinitis such as allergic rhinitis, achieving good therapeutic results. It is easy to operate and suitable for home and medical settings. Furthermore, the medicine box 1 can be used as a disposable replacement part, allowing users to easily replace it with a new one after use. Its simple operation makes it convenient for daily use.
[0029] In other embodiments, the bottom of the main body of the medicine box 1 may also be covered with a bottom cover, which also has a perforated structure for laser penetration. A cavity for containing medicine is formed between the medicine cover 15, the bottom cover, and the inner sidewall of the main body. By opening the medicine cover 15 and / or the bottom cover, it is convenient to fill the medicine. In other embodiments, the bottom of the main body of the medicine box 1 may also be sealed by a diaphragm, which allows the infrared laser emitted by the laser head 3 to pass through.
[0030] Furthermore, the red light therapy device for treating allergic rhinitis also includes a housing 7, which is generally cuboid in shape. A battery 12, which is rechargeable, is installed inside the housing 7. A charging port 10 is installed on one side of the housing 7, and the charging port 10 is electrically connected to the battery 12. A charger is used to connect a power source to the charging port 10 to charge the battery 12. A wire 4 is electrically connected to the terminal of the battery 12. The end of the wire 4 away from the battery 12 extends to the outside of the housing 7 and connects to the laser head 3. Specifically, a cylindrical conductive plug is installed at the end of the wire 4 away from the battery 12, and a cylindrical insertion port 13 is installed at the bottom of the laser head 3. Inserting the cylindrical conductive plug into the insertion port 13 facilitates the electrical connection between the wire 4 and the laser head 3.
[0031] In this design, the battery 12 has two wires 4 connected to its terminals, each wire 4 connected to an independent laser head 3. Each laser head 3 is also independently equipped with a medicine box 1, allowing both laser heads 3 and medicine boxes 1 to treat two nasal cavities simultaneously. A magnetic connector 2 connects the ends of the two laser heads 3. The magnetic connector 2 includes magnets that hold the two laser heads together and can attract each other, allowing the two laser heads 3 to be connected for simultaneous use or storage. In other embodiments, the magnetic connector 2 may also consist of magnets and iron components respectively mounted on the two laser heads.
[0032] Furthermore, for ease of use, the length of the wire 4 is approximately 25cm. Therefore, to facilitate the storage of the wire 4, a retraction mechanism 5 is installed inside the outer casing 7. The retraction mechanism 5 can be used to wind up the wire 4 for easy storage and organization. Specifically, the retraction mechanism 5 includes a conductive shaft, a storage tube, and a conductive block. The conductive shaft is electrically connected to the terminals of the battery 12. One end of the conductive block forms a ring structure fitted onto the conductive shaft, allowing one end of the conductive block to be rotatably connected to the conductive shaft. The storage tube is also fitted onto the conductive shaft, with the conductive block embedded within it, forming an integral structure. This integral structure is rotatably connected to the conductive shaft. The end of the conductive block away from the ring structure extends to the outer wall of the storage tube and is electrically connected to one end of the wire 4. One side of the storage tube is located on one side of the outer casing 7, and a built-in handle is installed on the side of the storage tube extending beyond the outer casing 7. By gripping the built-in handle, the storage tube can be easily rotated. When rotating the storage tube, the wire 4 can be wound up to the outside of the storage tube, thereby organizing and storing the wire 4. When the laser head 3 is needed, pulling the wire 4 rotates the storage cylinder, releasing the wire 4. The structure is simple and easy to operate, allowing rhinitis patients to choose the appropriate wire 4 length for their home or work environment. The retraction mechanism 5 allows the wire 4 to be adjusted within a 10-25cm length range, enabling flexible expansion of the operating radius.
[0033] In other embodiments, the shrinking mechanism 5 can also use an existing ratchet one-way rotation structure to control the storage cylinder, and a spiral spring to provide the storage cylinder with automatic winding force. A winding button for controlling the ratchet one-way rotation structure is installed on the outer casing 7. When the laser head 3 needs to be used, pulling the wire 4 causes the storage cylinder to release the wire 4. Under the control of the ratchet one-way rotation structure, the storage cylinder will not automatically wind up under the force of the spiral spring. When it is necessary to store the wire 4, pressing the winding button releases the ratchet one-way rotation structure from the storage cylinder, allowing the storage cylinder to automatically wind up the wire 4 under the force of the spiral spring, facilitating the storage and organization of the wire 4.
[0034] Furthermore, a circular display screen 6 is installed on the upper front side of the outer casing 7, and a power switch 11, a power adjustment button 9, and a timer button 8 are installed on the lower front side of the outer casing 7. The display screen 6 is communicatively and electrically connected to the battery 12, and communicatively connected to the laser head 3. The power switch 11, power adjustment button 9, and timer button 8 are all communicatively connected to the laser head 3.
[0035] The power switch 11 controls the on / off state of the laser head 3, allowing one of the two laser heads 3 to operate, both to operate simultaneously, or both to be off simultaneously. The power adjustment button 9 adjusts the laser parameters of the laser head 3, such as output power or red light frequency. The timer button 8 controls the operating time of the laser head 3. Pressing the timer button 8 activates the basic timer mode, which operates for 30 minutes. The timer increments by five minutes. Pressing the timer button 8 again within the preset time increases the operating time by another five minutes, up to a maximum of 60 minutes. Once the maximum is reached, the system returns to the basic timer mode. Alternatively, a separate timer button can be placed next to the timer button 8; pressing this timer button reduces the operating time by five minutes. In short, the continuous operating time of the laser head 3 can be adjusted using the timer button 8 and the timer button, making it convenient for the user.
[0036] Display screen 6 can be used to display parameters of battery 12, such as battery level, and also to display the usage status of laser head 3, such as power parameters. Display screen 6 can also display information such as the duration of laser head 3's operation and a countdown timer for remaining operation time. It should be noted that all of the above functions can be integrated into a single controller.
[0037] Before use, install the medicine box 1 on the laser emitter of the laser head 3 and then insert it into the nasal cavity. The user starts the device by pressing the switch button 11, adjusts the treatment time of the laser head 3 according to actual needs, and pulls the power cord 4 to extend the laser head 3 to a suitable position to accommodate different patients. During operation, the laser head 3 emits red light. Inside the medicine box 1, the medication can evaporate and flow out through the through-hole 14 and the evaporation hole 16. Simultaneously, the red light passes through the through-hole 14 and irradiates the inside of the nasal cavity, causing the temperature inside the nasal cavity to rise slowly, accelerating the evaporation and outflow of the medication, thus moistening the nasal cavity with the medication and promoting the absorption of the medication by the nasal mucosa, thereby treating allergic rhinitis. During treatment, the display screen 6 shows parameters such as treatment time, remaining time, and device power. After treatment, remove the used medicine box 1 and store and organize the power cord 4 using the retraction mechanism 5. The user can charge the battery 12 through the charging port 10 as needed.
[0038] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
