Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a combined phototherapy device. Background Technology
[0002] Phototherapy is a medical device that uses light of specific wavelengths or frequencies to treat human tissues non-invasively. Its core principle is to intervene in disease processes through photobiological regulation (such as activating cell metabolism, regulating brain waves, and promoting blood circulation). It is commonly used to treat mental illnesses such as sleep disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and depression.
[0003] In existing technologies, the locations of light application differ when treating various diseases such as sleep disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and depression. However, to make phototherapy devices universally applicable to multiple diseases, they are usually set with numerous light application points that are not adjustable. This lack of flexibility prevents the creation of targeted light application plans for specific diseases, resulting in a "shotgun" approach to physiotherapy. This method is poorly targeted, the head-mounted device is heavy, leading to poor treatment outcomes and a bad patient experience.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary for the inventors to design a new combined phototherapy device to overcome the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The main objective of this application is to provide a combined phototherapy device to solve the problems of low therapeutic targeting and heavy head-mounted devices in related technologies.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a combined phototherapy device, including a main unit, a head-mounted device, and multiple light-emitting modules capable of emitting therapeutic light sources. The main unit has multiple storage slots for housing the light-emitting modules, and the head-mounted device has multiple mounting holes for detachably connecting the light-emitting modules. Multiple first metal contacts are fixedly disposed on the light-emitting modules, multiple second metal contacts are fixedly disposed in the main unit, and multiple third metal contacts are fixedly disposed on the head-mounted device. The first metal contacts are used for electrical connection with the second or third metal contacts.
[0007] Optionally, the position of the mounting hole where the light module is placed is determined by a preset mapping rule when the first metal contact and the third metal contact are in contact, and a position record is formed.
[0008] Optionally, the light-giving module includes a housing and a light source assembly, the light source assembly being fixedly disposed in the middle of the housing, and the first metal contact being fixedly disposed on the housing and surrounding the outer periphery of the light source assembly.
[0009] Optionally, the head-mounted device includes a head-mounted frame, the mounting hole is formed on the head-mounted frame, the third metal contact is fixedly disposed in the mounting hole, and the head-mounted frame includes an exoskeleton layer and an inner skin-friendly layer.
[0010] Optionally, the main unit compartment includes a storage box and a cover, the storage slot is opened in the storage box, the second metal contact is fixedly disposed in the storage slot, and the cover is mated with the storage box.
[0011] Optionally, the exoskeleton layer is made of plastic, and the inner skin-friendly layer is made of soft silicone.
[0012] Optionally, the wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting module is between 600nm and 1100nm.
[0013] Optionally, the power of the light emitted by the light-emitting module is between 20mW and 400mW.
[0014] Optionally, both the main unit compartment and the light supply module have a power module, and the power modules in the main unit compartment and the light supply module are electrically connected through the first metal contact and the second metal contact.
[0015] Optionally, the light source assembly includes a light-emitting element and a lens, with the lens covering the outer periphery of the light-emitting element, and the light-emitting element being one or more of an LED bead and a micro laser emitter.
[0016] The combined phototherapy device provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0017] In this embodiment, the light-giving module and the head-mounted device are set separately. The target area corresponding to the light-giving module is determined by the mapping rule between the first metal contact on the light-giving module and the third metal contact on the head-mounted device. Then, the light-giving module can be adjusted to the corresponding power parameters, resulting in better targeted treatment effect on the treatment site. In addition, during treatment, the light-giving module can be installed in the mounting holes at different positions on the head-mounted device according to actual needs.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a combined phototherapy device includes a main unit 1, a head-mounted device 2, and multiple light-emitting modules 3 capable of emitting therapeutic light sources. The main unit 1 has multiple storage slots 101 for housing the light-emitting modules 3. The head-mounted device 2 has multiple mounting holes 203 for detachably connecting the light-emitting modules 3. Multiple first metal contacts 4 are fixedly disposed on the light-emitting modules 3. Multiple second metal contacts 5 are fixedly disposed in the main unit 1. Multiple third metal contacts are fixedly disposed on the head-mounted device. The first metal contacts 4 are used for electrical connection with the second metal contacts 5 or the third metal contacts. The position of the mounting holes 203 where the light-emitting modules 3 are placed is determined by a preset mapping rule when the first metal contacts 4 and the third metal contacts are in contact, and this is recorded as a position.
[0030] Specifically, in this technical solution, the light-generating module 3 is used to generate a light source to achieve the therapeutic effect; the storage slot 101 on the main unit 1 is used to store the light-generating module 3, and the main unit 1 charges the light-generating module 3 and controls the light source parameters of the light-generating module 3; the head-mounted device 2 is provided with multiple mounting holes 203 for mounting the light-generating module 3, and the position of each mounting hole 203 matches different treatment positions on the human head, such as the anterior prefrontal lobe, posterior prefrontal lobe, precuneus, postcingulate gyrus, temporal lobe, etc. of the brain region. Here, the head-mounted device 2 can be set to multiple different shapes, and different head-mounted devices 2 can be selected when treating different positions. The first metal contact 4, the second metal contact 5, and the third metal contact are used to establish communication between the light-emitting module 3 and the main unit 1 and the head-mounted device 2. The light-emitting modules 3 have the same specifications, but their power parameters differ when used in different mounting holes 203 on the head-mounted device 2. When any light-emitting module 3 is placed in a mounting hole 203, the first metal contact 4 and the third metal contact correspond one-to-one, but only a small number of the third metal contacts are in a conductive state. The positions of the conductive third metal contacts in different mounting holes 203 are different. The light-emitting module 3 can identify which mounting hole 203 it is in by recognizing the position of the conductive third metal contact through the first metal contact 4, and then automatically set the light source parameters to a value that matches the mounting hole 203. After treatment, when the light-emitting module 3 is placed in the storage slot 101, it can communicate through the first metal contact 4 and the second metal contact 5, so that the storage compartment can know the treatment record of each light-emitting module 3. Each light-giving module 3, storage slot 101, and mounting hole 203 here has uniform structural parameters. The light-giving module 3 can be placed in any storage slot 101 or mounting hole 203. Based on the unique mapping relationship between the third metal contact and the first metal contact 4 of the mounting hole 203, different light-giving modules 3 can accurately identify the irradiation target area corresponding to the mounting hole 203. It should be noted that the first metal contact 4 and the second metal contact 5 here can transmit data and also power, thus enabling the charging function of the light-giving module 3.
[0031] In this embodiment, in order to enable the first metal contact 4 to achieve point-to-point positional correspondence with the second metal contact 5 or the third metal contact, a magnetic adsorption anti-foolproof structure can be provided between the light-giving module 3, the storage slot 101, and the mounting hole 203. This ensures that when the light-giving module 3 is manually placed into the storage slot 101 and the mounting hole 203, the first metal contact 4 can achieve point-to-point positional correspondence with the second metal contact 5 or the third metal contact. The specific magnetic adsorption anti-foolproof structure is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] In this embodiment, the light-giving module 3 and the head-mounted device 2 are set separately. The irradiation target area corresponding to the light-giving module 3 is determined by the mapping rule between the first metal contact 4 on the light-giving module 3 and the third metal contact on the head-mounted device 2. Then, the light-giving module 3 can be adjusted to the corresponding power parameters, resulting in better targeted treatment effect on the treatment site. In addition, during treatment, the light-giving module 3 can be installed in the mounting holes 203 at different positions on the head-mounted device 2 according to actual needs. This can not only achieve targeted treatment for different diseases and improve the treatment effect, but also reduce the weight that the patient's head needs to bear during disease treatment, making the patient's treatment experience more comfortable.
[0033] The light-giving module 3 includes a housing 301 and a light source assembly 302. The light source assembly 302 is fixedly disposed in the middle of the housing 301, and the first metal contact 4 is fixedly disposed on the housing 301 and surrounds the outer periphery of the light source assembly 302. Specifically, the housing 301 is used to install the light source assembly 302 and the metal contact. The light source assembly 302 is used to generate light to achieve treatment, and the metal contact enables the matching between the light-giving module 3 and the main unit 1 and the head-mounted device 2.
[0034] The headgear 2 includes a headgear frame, with mounting holes 203 formed on the headgear frame. A third metal contact is fixedly disposed in the mounting hole 203. The headgear frame includes an exoskeleton layer 201 and an inner skin-friendly layer 202. Specifically, the use of a skeletal structure rather than a fully enclosed headgear further reduces the weight borne by the patient's head during treatment. The exoskeleton layer 201 prevents deformation of the headgear frame, and the skin-friendly layer provides better contact comfort in contact with the human head.
[0035] The main unit compartment 1 includes a storage box 102 and a cover 103. A storage slot 101 is formed within the storage box 102, and a second metal contact 5 is fixedly disposed within the storage slot 101. The cover 103 engages with the storage box 102. Specifically, after the optical module 3 is placed in the storage slot 101, it engages with the second metal contact 5 via the first metal contact 4. Once properly positioned, the cover 103 is closed for storage.
[0036] The exoskeleton layer 201 is made of plastic, and the inner skin-friendly layer 202 is made of soft silicone. Specifically, plastic is low in cost, lightweight, not easily corroded, and has good strength, while soft silicone also has the characteristics of being lightweight and low in cost.
[0037] The wavelength of the light emitted by the light-emitting module 3 is between 600nm and 1100nm. The power of the light emitted by the light-emitting module 3 is between 20mW and 400mW. Specifically, the light source parameters of the light-emitting module 3 can be controlled according to different treatment plans. Here, it is possible to wirelessly connect the light-emitting module 3 with the external control system to adjust the light source parameters of the light-emitting module 3, or to place the light-emitting module 3 in the storage slot 101, and then wirelessly connect the main unit 1 with the external control system to adjust the light source parameters of different light-emitting modules 3 in all storage slots 101.
[0038] Both the main unit compartment 1 and the light-giving module 3 have power modules, which are electrically connected via the first metal contact 4 and the second metal contact 5. Specifically, the power modules provide power to the light-giving module 3 during operation, and power level indicator components can be installed on both the light-giving module 3 and the main unit compartment 1 to inform the user of the current power status. The metal contacts can be used for both communication pairing and charging.
[0039] The light source assembly 302 includes a light emitter and a lens, with the lens covering the outer periphery of the light emitter. The light emitter is one or more of an LED bead or a miniature laser emitter. Specifically, different types of light emitters can be selected according to actual treatment needs.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
