Note that the configuration of the adhesive medical irradiator shown in FIG. 1 and the like is an example, and the present invention is not limited to the adhesive medical irradiator shown in FIG. 1 and the like.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the adhesive medical irradiator 100 according to the present invention is used when irradiating the body with light for treatment. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the adhesive medical irradiator 100 includes a light source unit 11 that emits light to be irradiated onto the body, and an irradiation heat conduction unit 12 that irradiates the light emitted by the light source unit 11 onto the body. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light source unit 11 is arranged inside a substantially cylindrical shape that can be easily carried and moved by hand, and the irradiation heat conduction unit 12 is arranged inside a substantially conical shape, and irradiates light from the tip (the spherical pressing irradiation member 12A described later) (LB in FIG. 4 described later). Note that the shape of the housing can be a shape determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, or the like.

[0015] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light source unit 11 includes a plurality of light emitting members 11A that respectively emit a plurality of irradiation lights, an optical element member 11B that condenses the plurality of irradiation lights emitted by the light emitting members 11A in a desired direction, and a plurality of reflection surface members 13 that reflect the plurality of irradiation lights.

[0016] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the plurality of light emitting members 11A each emit a plurality of irradiation lights. The plurality of light emitting members 11A may be arranged on both sides of a control substrate (substantially disk-shaped substrate) attached by an attachment member 11AS as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The plurality of light emitting members 11A (control substrate) may be attached so as to be slidable and movable in the irradiation direction (optical axis direction) as shown in FIG. 2. The light emitting member according to the present invention may be one or two or more. Thereby, the light source unit 11 according to the present invention can arrange more light sources compactly and improve the intensity of the condensed light (irradiated light). Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of light emitting members 11A may use a plurality of LEDs. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the plurality of light emitting members 11A may arrange LEDs. Thereby, the light source unit 11 according to the present invention can arrange more light sources compactly, reduce power consumption, and improve the intensity of the condensed light (irradiated light). In the present invention, the light emitting member 11A (light source unit 11) is not particularly limited, and known techniques can be used. Further, the shape, arrangement, and material of the light emitting member 11A can be the shape, arrangement, and material determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.

[0017] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the optical element member 11B condenses a plurality of irradiation lights emitted by the light emitting member 11A in a desired direction. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the optical element member 11B is arranged with the optical path (irradiation direction) as the central axis (optical axis) in order to condense a plurality of irradiation lights in a desired direction. As the optical element member 11B, an optical lens or the like can be used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4(a) first, the optical element member 11B reflects a plurality of irradiation lights L1 emitted by the light emitting member 11A by the reflecting member 13, and then, as shown in FIG. 4(b), allows the reflected light L2 to pass between the control board and the inner wall of the housing, transmits and condenses the reflected light L2 and the irradiation light L1, and then, as shown in FIG. 4(c), projects the condensed irradiation light onto the irradiation heat conduction part 12 (the pressing irradiation member 12A described later) to irradiate light in the irradiation direction LB. Thereby, the optical element member 11B according to the present invention improves the intensity of the light (irradiated light) condensed from a plurality of light sources and can irradiate the body. In the present invention, the optical element member 11B (light source part 11) is not particularly limited, and the shape, arrangement, and material of the optical element member 11B can be the shape, arrangement, and material determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the irradiation heat conduction part 12 irradiates the light emitted by the light source part 11 to the body. The irradiation heat conduction part 12 includes a pressing irradiation member 12A that irradiates the body with the light generated by transmitting the irradiation light condensed by the optical element member 11B of the light source part 11, a reflecting heat source member 12B that reflects the irradiation light condensed by the optical element member 11B and projects it onto the pressing irradiation member 12A, and a spring member 12C that movably supports the pressing irradiation member 12A in the irradiation direction.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the pressing irradiation member 12A is a spherical lens. When irradiating the body with light, the pressing irradiation member 12A is pressed against the body and is supported so as to be movable in the irradiation direction (optical axis direction) by the expansion and contraction of the mainspring member 12C, and is rotatably held by the pressing force (extension force, restoring force) of the mainspring member 12C. Thereby, when irradiating the body with light, the pressing irradiation member 12A can irradiate the light while pressing the pressing irradiation member 12A against the body and rotating the pressing irradiation member 12A on the surface of the body. In the present invention, the pressing irradiation member 12A (irradiation heat conduction part 12) is not particularly limited, and the shape, arrangement, and material of the pressing irradiation member 12A can be the shape, arrangement, and material determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the reflection heat source member 12B reflects the irradiation light condensed by the optical element member 11B and projects it onto the pressing irradiation member 12A. The surface of the reflection heat source member 11B is a substantially flat surface or a substantially curved surface capable of reflecting the irradiation light. The reflection heat source member 12B can use native ore. Further, the reflection heat source member 12B can use terahertz ore. Thereby, when the reflection heat source member 12B (irradiation heat conduction part 12) reflects the irradiation light, it can generate heat with the irradiation light due to the heat generation action of the ore. In the present invention, the reflection heat source member 12B (irradiation heat conduction part 12) is not particularly limited, and the shape, arrangement, and material of the reflection heat source member 12B can be the shape, arrangement, and material determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 2, the spring member 12C supports the pressing irradiation member 12A so as to be movable in the irradiation direction. In the present embodiment, the spring member 12C has a substantially spring shape. The spring member 12C supports the pressing irradiation member 12A so as to be movable in the irradiation direction by the expansion and contraction of the spring member 12C, and holds the pressing irradiation member 12A rotatably by the pressing force (extension force, restoring force) of the spring member 12C. Thereby, when the spring member 12C (irradiation heat conduction part 12) irradiates the body with light, the pressing irradiation member 12A can be pressed against the body, and while rotating the pressing irradiation member 12A on the surface of the body (by friction), light can be irradiated. Further, since the spring member 12C can rotate the spherical pressing irradiation member 12A in all directions, a stronger pressure can be applied to the body surface, and the pain and irritation caused by acupressure can be reduced. Further, the spring member 12C transmits the heat generated by the reflection heat source member 12B and the heat generated by the light source unit 11 (light emitting member 11A, optical element member 11B) to the pressing irradiation member 12A. Thereby, the pressing irradiation member 12A (irradiation heat conduction part 12) can transmit the heat transmitted by the spring member 12C to the body. Therefore, when irradiating the body with light for treatment, the operation is easy, the safety is high, the size is reduced, and at the same time as irradiating light, the surface of the body can be pressed or heat can be applied to the body, and the treatment effect can be improved. In the present invention, the spring member 12C (irradiation heat conduction part 12) is not particularly limited, and the shape, arrangement, and material of the spring member 12C can be the shapes, arrangements, and materials determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.

[0022] As described above, according to the adhesive medical irradiator 100 according to the present invention, when irradiating the body with light for treatment, the operation is easy, the safety is high, the size is reduced, a lower-cost irradiator can be used, and at the same time as irradiating light, the surface of the body can be pressed or heat can be applied to the body, and the treatment effect can be improved.
