Background Art

[0002] Generally, far-infrared rays and near-infrared rays are infrared rays similar to the radiant heat of the sun. They do not heat the air but only heat the object to which the heat is transmitted as a wavelength. As short-wavelength light rays harmful to the human body, they have a longer wavelength than visible light, lower energy, and are converted into heat when absorbed by an object.

[0003] When such infrared rays are used to penetrate the human body, they are widely used in infrared therapy devices that can utilize the near-infrared rays irradiated by infrared lamps to treat affected areas such as muscles and wounds by taking advantage of the property of deeply penetrating the human body and being converted into heat.

[0004] Such infrared radiation is a representative form of radiant energy that directly transfers energy from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object without a medium. It is widely used in medical applications to deliver energy to the skin and deep tissues of the human body. To maximize the therapeutic effect of infrared radiation, halogen lamps are typically used to generate wIRA (Water-filtered Infrared-A) in the 760-1,400 nm band for irradiation.

[0005] Conventional near-infrared lamp assemblies primarily use asbestos around the heating element to block the high heat generated during heating. However, prolonged use can cause asbestos dust to detach, which is not only harmful to human health but also pollutes the environment.

[0006] Furthermore, due to the characteristics of near-infrared light, conventional near-infrared healthcare devices have the property that the energy density transmitted to the user decreases sharply as the distance between the lamp and the user increases. As a result, lamps that are farther away from the user may not be able to transmit sufficient near-infrared light to the user. Using lamps with reduced irradiation efficiency in this way results in less near-infrared light being transmitted to the user, but the amount of power consumed is the same as other lamps, thus contributing to a decrease in the overall energy efficiency of the device.

[0007] Furthermore, the Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0039317 has published an infrared TDP (Thermal Radiation Packet) thermotherapy device that irradiates far-infrared rays, comprising: a housing with an open section formed on one side; an infrared lamp fixed to the inside of the open section of the housing and emitting infrared rays; a TDP plate located inside the infrared lamp that radiates specific radio waves toward the open section; and a radiating plate fixed to the inside of the open section and formed in a curved shape so that the infrared rays emitted from the infrared lamp are diffused toward the open section from the inside of the TDP.

[0008] Furthermore, the Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-1441811 disclosed a technology for a thermotherapy device that uses a halogen lamp with infrared wavelengths to irradiate the target of treatment, but removes long-wavelength light that raises the body temperature near the target's skin, thereby concentrating the increase in the target's core body temperature.

[0009] Furthermore, the Republic of Korea Registered Patent No. 10-1558790 has published a technology relating to an infrared lamp tube comprising a case formed in a tubular body with a space inside, an infrared light-emitting section in which a plurality of halogen lamps are arranged at intervals along the length inside the case, caps fitted to each side of the case, and an infrared lamp tube in which the space inside the case is filled with a filter liquid made of water.

[0010] According to the aforementioned prior art documents, the method involves generating wIRA by utilizing the wavelength characteristics of a halogen lamp as an infrared source, thereby increasing the output of the halogen lamp's divergent energy so that it is irradiated onto the body.

[0011] When performing treatment using the aforementioned halogen lamp, a problem arises in that the light emitted from the halogen lamp comes into contact with the user's face, particularly their eyes, which can induce damage to the eyeballs. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0012] The present invention was made to improve upon the aforementioned problems, and the problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a near-infrared lamp assembly that houses a lamp unit that emits infrared rays inside, and has a central tube and an optical transmission tube with a certain gap between the inner and outer circumferences, and double tube caps installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (for example, water) is filled into the gap between the central tube and the optical transmission tube and flows, and employs a water filter system, which is a filtration method that uses water as a medium, so that far-infrared and mid-infrared rays of the infrared rays emitted by the lamp unit are blocked and only near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double tube lamp, so that when the near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin they penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue and provide a variety of health effects on the body, and a near-infrared body care system that utilizes the near-infrared lamp assembly.

[0013] The problem that the present invention aims to solve is to provide a near-infrared lamp assembly that can adjust the brightness ratio of a near-infrared emitting lamp, supply and circulate cooling water by the water level so that the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp can be kept constant, and at the same time control the temperature by the installation position of the near-infrared emitting lamp, and a near-infrared body care system that utilizes the near-infrared lamp assembly.

[0014] The problem that this invention aims to solve is to provide an energy-efficient near-infrared healthcare device that reduces power consumption while maintaining the healthcare effects of near-infrared radiation compared to using all double-tube lamps, by using only the double-tube lamps that can provide near-infrared radiation to the user's body with high efficiency from among a plurality of double-tube lamps that emit near-infrared radiation.

Advantages of the Invention

[0029] As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

[0030] Furthermore, a double-tube lamp is provided, which houses a lamp unit that emits infrared rays internally. A gap is formed between the central tube and the light transmission tube, with a certain distance (gap) between the inner and outer circumferences. Double-tube caps are installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (for example, water) is filled into the gap between the central tube and the light transmission tube and flows through it. A water filter system, which is a filtration method that uses water as a medium, is employed. This blocks the far-infrared and mid-infrared rays of the infrared rays emitted by the lamp unit, and only the near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double-tube lamp. When these near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin, they penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue, thereby providing various health benefits to the body.

[0031] Furthermore, the lamp unit is configured to be surrounded by a double-tube lamp, and a refrigerant liquid is filled into the gap and allowed to flow, thereby cooling the high-temperature heat emitted by the lamp unit during near-infrared therapy and preventing the high-temperature heat emitted by the lamp unit from directly contacting the user's skin, thus preventing skin burns.

[0032] Furthermore, the present invention allows for adjustment of the brightness ratio of the near-infrared emitting lamp, and enables the supply and circulation of cooling water by adjusting the water level so that the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp can be kept constant, while also allowing for temperature control based on the installation position of the near-infrared emitting lamp.

[0033] Furthermore, near-infrared therapy can suppress and eliminate the proliferation, metastasis, and recurrence of cancer cells. NK cells secrete the perforin protein, creating holes in cancer cells, and then inject the enzyme granzyme to remove the cancer cells. NK cells possess both activating and inhibiting receptors, allowing them to distinguish between normal and abnormal cells before attacking them. They also secrete the IFN-Y (interferon-gamma) substance, which activates T cells and B cells.

[0034] Furthermore, when irradiating a user with near-infrared light using multiple double-tube lamps, the system determines which double-tube lamp can irradiate the user with near-infrared light with higher efficiency based on the distance between each distance-sensing sensor and the user's body, as detected by multiple distance-sensing sensors. By using the determined double-tube lamp to irradiate the user with near-infrared light, high power efficiency can be achieved.

[0035] The effects of the present invention are not limited to those mentioned above, and any further effects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0066] The following describes in detail a near-infrared lamp assembly according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and a near-infrared body care system utilizing the near-infrared lamp assembly, with reference to the attached drawings.

[0067] Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention.

[0068] As shown in Figure 1, the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention comprises a lamp unit (411) that emits infrared rays; and a double-tube lamp (410) which houses the lamp unit (411) inside and is formed in a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a constant gap (gap) (G) on its inner and outer circumference, and has double-tube caps (417) installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled into the gap (gap) (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413) and flows.

[0069] The lamp unit (411) has a filament (not shown) installed inside a glass body (411a), and an inert gas (for example, nitrogen gas) is sealed inside the lamp unit (411).

[0070] The near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention has a technical feature in that, due to its double-tube lamp structure, far-infrared and mid-infrared rays from the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit (411) are blocked, and only near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double-tube lamp (410), so that when the near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin they penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0071] In the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention, a double-tube lamp (410) is arranged to enclose the outside of the lamp unit (411), and a coolant liquid is filled into the gap (G) and configured to flow, so that when near-infrared therapy, the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) is cooled, preventing the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) from directly contacting the user's skin, thereby preventing skin burns, while still allowing the near-infrared therapeutic effect to be fully exerted.

[0072] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a near-infrared body care system utilizing the near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention.

[0073] As shown in Figure 2, the near-infrared body care system (1) utilizing the near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention performs near-infrared therapy using the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), and has the technical characteristic of being composed of one of the following: a portable near-infrared body care device (1000), a chamber-type near-infrared body care device (2000), or a bed-type near-infrared body care device (3000).

[0074] In other words, the near-infrared body care system (1) described may be a portable near-infrared body care device (1000), a chamber-type near-infrared body care device (2000), or a bed-type near-infrared body care device (3000).

[0075] For the sake of clarity, the term "portable" may be omitted when referring to the portable near-infrared body care device (1000), and it may simply be described as the near-infrared body care device (1000). The (portable) near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention will be described below.

[0076] As shown in Figures 3 to 12, the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention comprises a support case (100) supported on the floor; a connecting frame (200) whose one end is connected to the support case (100) and which can be extended to the upper side of the support case (100); and an operating frame (300) connected to the other end of the connecting frame (200) and equipped with a near-infrared lamp assembly (400).

[0077] The near-infrared lamp assembly (400) comprises a lamp unit (411) that emits infrared rays; and a double-tube lamp (410) which houses the lamp unit (411) inside and is formed with a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a constant gap (g) (G) on its inner and outer circumference, and has double-tube caps (417) installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled into the gap (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413) and flows.

[0078] In other words, the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) includes a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) aligned on an operating frame (300), each of which comprises a central tube (412) housing a lamp unit (411), a light transmission tube (413) surrounding the central tube (412) at a distance, and a liquid (414) flowing between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413). The support case (100) can be configured to house a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling the liquid (414) from the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), a liquid storage tank (120) for storing the liquid cooled by the cooling unit (110), and a pump (130) for receiving the liquid (414) from the liquid storage tank (120) and pumping it to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).

[0079] The lamp unit (411) has a filament installed inside a glass body (411a), and an inert gas (for example, nitrogen gas) is sealed inside the lamp unit (411). The far-infrared and mid-infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit (411) are blocked, and only near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double-tube lamp (410). This configuration allows the near-infrared rays to penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue when irradiated onto the skin.

[0080] The double-tube lamp (410) is configured to enclose the outside of the lamp unit (411), and a refrigerant liquid is filled and flowed in the gap (G) between them, thereby cooling the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) and preventing the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) from directly contacting the user's skin, thereby effectively preventing skin burns.

[0081] The support case (100) includes a cooling module that circulates and cools a refrigerant liquid to cool the heat generated by the lamp unit (411). The cooling module employs a non-water supply direct connection system (refrigerant liquid self-circulation system) to facilitate the movement and transport of the near-infrared body care device.

[0082] As shown in Figure 11, the cooling module comprises a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling liquid from the near-infrared lamp assembly (400); a liquid storage tank (120) for storing the refrigerant liquid cooled by the cooling unit (110); and a pump (130) for receiving liquid from the liquid storage tank (120) and pumping it to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).

[0083] The cooling module utilizes a water filter system to prevent contamination of the refrigerant liquid inside.

[0084] For reference, this invention employs a water filter system, which is a filtration method that uses water as a medium. This system filters out unnecessary or harmful light rays in the wavelength range of sunlight, and only the near-infrared (700-1400 nm) wavelengths extracted in this way can efficiently raise core body temperature without causing thermal damage to the skin.

[0085] Furthermore, in the (portable) near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention, when viewed from a plan or side, the working frame (300) has a shape that is bent toward the opposite side of the position of the connecting frame (200), and a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) are installed on the working frame (300) on the side opposite to the position of the connecting frame (200).

[0086] On the operating frame (300), a lamp mounting reflective bracket (310) bent according to the curved shape is installed on the side opposite to the position of the connecting frame (200), and multiple double-tube lamps (410) are installed in a row.

[0087] Furthermore, the lamp mounting reflective bracket (310) has a container shape with an open lamp inlet / outlet portion (311) facing the double-tube lamps (410) to accommodate multiple double-tube lamps (410). Installation grooves are formed on both opposing flanges (312) of the lamp mounting reflective bracket (310) into which first liquid flow tubes (440) extending from both ends of the double-tube lamps (410) are inserted. Elastic support pieces (415) are installed at the bottom of the lamp mounting reflective bracket (310) to support the area near both ends of the double-tube lamps (410).

[0088] The elastic support pieces (415) are positioned on both sides of the double-tube lamp (410) and extend toward the lamp inlet / outlet portion (311). However, their waist portions are bent inward in a narrow shape, which allows the double-tube lamp (410) to be easily elastically connected to the elastic support pieces (415) through the lamp inlet / outlet portion (311) in a one-touch manner, and to be easily separated.

[0089] Furthermore, in the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention, when viewed from the side, the working frame (300) has a distribution pipe (320) that is bent according to the curved shape on the side where the double-tube lamp (410) is arranged. When viewed from the front, the distribution pipes (320) are installed on the left and right sides with the double-tube lamp (410) in between. Multiple second liquid flow pipes (321) extending toward the first liquid flow pipe (440) are formed on the inner surface of each distribution pipe (320), and a flexible pipe (330) is connected between the first liquid flow pipe (440) and the second liquid flow pipes (321), which are spaced apart from each other. The flexible pipe (330) can be made of rubber, silicone, or a variety of other flexible and durable materials.

[0090] This configuration has the advantage that a robust connection can be made without leakage by the flexible pipe (330), even if the first liquid flow pipe (440) and the second liquid flow pipe (321) are not precisely positioned in a straight line.

[0091] The distribution pipe (320) can be installed on a suitable bracket (370) fixed on the operating frame (300).

[0092] The support case (100) houses a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling liquid (414) from the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), a liquid storage tank (120) for storing the liquid (414) cooled by the cooling unit (110), and a pump (130) for receiving and pumping liquid (414) from the liquid storage tank (120) to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).

[0093] The cooling section (110) is comprised of components that form a general cooling cycle, such as a compressor (111), a condenser (112), an expansion valve (not shown, internal configuration), and an evaporator (113), and serves to prevent the liquid (414) heated and circulated by the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) from continuously rising in temperature, allowing the liquid (414) to properly function as a near-infrared filter, as well as maintaining the durability of the double tube.

[0094] Furthermore, a compressor (111) and a condenser (112) are installed at the bottom of the support case (100), and a heat dissipation fan (114) is installed on the side or bottom of the support case (100) to quickly dissipate the heat generated in the condenser (112). Inside the support case (100), a liquid storage tank (120) and a pump (130) for pressurizing the liquid (414) can be installed.

[0095] Furthermore, the compressor (111) and condenser (112) are arranged sequentially from front to rear, surrounded by a protective frame (150) having a channel-shaped cross-section. The heat dissipation fan (114) is positioned on the rear surface of the support case (100) so as to face the condenser (112), and the liquid storage tank (120) and pump (130) are mounted on the upper end of the protective frame (150).

[0096] Furthermore, an evaporator (113), which constitutes the cooling unit (110), is installed inside the liquid storage tank (120). The evaporator (113) can be in the form of a coil that is wound upwards while being supported at the bottom of the liquid storage tank (120), and as a result the evaporator (113) does not need to be installed separately outside, the planar cross-sectional area occupied by the support case (100) can be further reduced. Of course, a thermoelectric element can also be used as the cooling unit (110) to block the noise generated by the compressor (111).

[0097] Furthermore, the pump (130) is configured to draw in low-temperature liquid from the liquid storage tank (120) and supply it to the double-tube lamp (410), and the high-temperature liquid discharged from the double-tube lamp (410) is resupplied to the liquid storage tank (120) and cooled by the evaporator (113). In other words, the structure is designed so that the evaporator (113) directly cools the liquid in the liquid storage tank (120).

[0098] In this case, it is desirable to ensure that the liquid, which has been sufficiently cooled by the evaporator (113), flows to the pump (130) by maximizing the distance between the point where the liquid is returned to the liquid storage tank (120) and the point where the low-temperature liquid is discharged.

[0099] For example, as shown in the figure, the evaporator (113) can be installed upright inside the liquid storage tank (120), with the point where the liquid flows in located inside the evaporator (113) at the bottom of the liquid storage tank (120), and the point where the liquid is discharged located on the upper side of the liquid storage tank (120).

[0100] Furthermore, the high-temperature liquid flowing in from the bottom of the liquid storage tank (120) is cooled uniformly as it rises by generating a spiral (vortex) flow in the evaporator (113), and can be discharged through the upper side of the liquid storage tank (120) towards the pump (130).

[0101] Furthermore, the connecting frame (200) connected to the support case (100) and the working frame (300) connected to the other end of the connecting frame (200) are configured to allow for horizontal rotation and vertical rotation, making it possible to freely irradiate any part of the user's body, such as their head, face, and abdomen, with near-infrared light.

[0102] Furthermore, a first connecting pipe (610) and a second connecting pipe (620) extend from the operating frame (300) to the left and right of the connecting frame (200), with one end of each connecting to the distribution pipe (320). The other ends of the first connecting pipe (610) and the second connecting pipe (620) are connected to the support case (100), and can be connected to the liquid storage tank (120), respectively.

[0103] Furthermore, the connecting frame (200) and the working frame (300) are detachably installed, and the first connecting pipe (610) and the second connecting pipe (620) are detachably installed to the working frame (300), allowing for versatile use by replacing the working frame (300) with various configurations depending on the body part to be irradiated.

[0104] Furthermore, a water level sensor (121) for sensing the liquid level in the liquid storage tank (120) can be installed to issue a warning message when the water level falls below or exceeds an appropriate range, enabling emergency shutdown.

[0105] Furthermore, a temperature sensor (122) is installed in the liquid storage tank (120) to sense the internal liquid temperature, allowing the liquid temperature to be kept within an appropriate temperature range.

[0106] A touchscreen (160) is installed on one side of the upper surface of the support case (100) to enable operation or emergency shutdown of the equipment, adjustment of the irradiation temperature, etc., and can display the liquid temperature of the liquid storage tank (120), water level, compressor temperature, irradiation temperature, etc.

[0107] Furthermore, it is desirable to improve space efficiency by installing the main controller (PCB, 170) on the inner surface opposite the touchscreen (160) of the support case (100). In particular, it is desirable to install the touchscreen (160) and the main controller (170) on the rear surface of the support case (100) on the side where the cooling fan (114) is installed, so as to avoid exposure to high temperatures.

[0108] The component reference numeral 180, which is not described above, is a check valve, and 190 indicates a flow switch. If no flow is detected by the flow switch (190) during operation, it is determined that there is a malfunction in the equipment, and an emergency shutdown function is executed, allowing maintenance and repair to be carried out.

[0109] Furthermore, component reference numeral 800 indicates a liquid connecting pipe that connects the pump (130), the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), and the liquid storage tank (120). It is desirable that wheels (140) be installed at the lower end of the support case (100) to allow for easy transport and movement.

[0110] Although the aforementioned examples were described primarily focusing on the user's head and face, they can be similarly applied to various other parts of the user's body, such as the abdomen, chest, or pelvis, while the user is lying down.

[0111] Figure 12 shows the components, liquid piping, refrigerant piping, and communication and electrical connection configurations of the near-infrared body care device (1000). First, when the near-infrared body care device (1000) is activated via the touchscreen (160), the liquid in the liquid storage tank (120) is moved to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) by the pump (130).

[0112] Then, the lamp unit (411) inside the double-tube lamp (410) that constitutes the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) lights up and irradiation is performed, but the liquid flowing inside the double-tube lamp (410) filters out the mid-infrared and far-infrared rays, so that only near-infrared rays are emitted.

[0113] The liquid heated by the lamp unit (411) is discharged from the double-tube lamp (410) and flows towards the liquid storage tank (120) for cooling. In this case, since a coil-type evaporator (113) constituting the cooling section (110) is installed inside the liquid storage tank (120), the liquid is rapidly cooled, and the cooled liquid flows again to the double-tube lamp (410) through the pump (130).

[0114] This circulating method allows for continuous irradiation of various parts of the user's body, such as the head, abdomen, or pelvis, with near-infrared light.

[0115] Further, as shown in Figure 13, the portable near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention further comprises: a biosensor unit (S) for detecting user health information; a smart band or smartwatch (W) that is provided with the user health information detected by the biosensor unit and can be worn by the user to check their health status; and a mobile communication terminal (T) on which an application is installed so that the degree of health improvement achieved by the near-infrared treatment of the near-infrared body care device can be visually confirmed.

[0116] The biosensor unit (S) is installed inside the operating frame (300) to photograph the user's body, for example, the head, and can precisely check the user's health condition based on artificial intelligence.

[0117] Figures 14 and 15 are diagrams illustrating the operation of multiple double-tube lamps according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0118] The near-infrared body care device (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention can save energy by using only at least one double-tube lamp (410) with excellent near-infrared transmission effect to irradiate the user with near-infrared rays, when using multiple double-tube lamps (410) to irradiate the user with near-infrared rays. For this purpose, the head frame (300) according to one embodiment of the present invention can be equipped with multiple distance sensing sensors (S). Each distance sensing sensor (S) is positioned to sense the position of an object located in front of the entire surface of the head frame (300), thereby sensing the distance between the distance sensing sensor (S) and the user's body and transmitting it to the main controller (170). Based on the distance information received from each distance sensing sensor (S), the main controller (170) determines which of the multiple double-tube lamps (410) can irradiate the user with near-infrared rays with relatively high efficiency, and improves power efficiency by turning on the determined double-tube lamp (410).

[0119] In this embodiment, the distance sensing sensor (S) can be an ultrasonic sensor, and is not limited thereto. Below, we will examine the operation of the main controller (170) with reference to Figure 14, which illustrates the operation of multiple double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a bent shape, and Figure 15, which illustrates the operation of multiple double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a flat plate shape.

[0120] Figure 14(a) is a diagram illustrating how each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on the same line as each double-tube lamp (V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3). More specifically, Figure 14(a) illustrates how each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on a plane perpendicular to the entire surface of the head frame (300) and passing through the centerlines of each double-tube lamp (410). In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on the surface of the light transmission tube (413) of each double-tube lamp (410) and can sense the distance in a direction perpendicular to the entire surface of the head frame (300). In this case, considering that the user generally positions their body near the center of the width of the head frame (300), it is desirable that each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) be installed at the midpoint of the length of each double-tube lamp (410) for more accurate user position sensing.

[0121] In other embodiments, each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) may be installed on one or both sides in the longitudinal direction of each double-tube lamp (410). In this case, each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on the area of ​​the head frame (300) where the reflective bracket (310) is not installed, thereby minimizing the heat transmitted from the reflective bracket (310).

[0122] Each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) senses the distance between each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and an object located in front of the front surface of the head frame (300) and transmits this information to the main controller (170). The main controller (170) compares the distance values ​​received from each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) between each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the object with a pre-set critical distance. Based on the comparison results, the double-tube lamp (410) matched to each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) that measured a distance below the critical distance is turned on to emit near-infrared light.

[0123] In this way, the main controller (170) compares the critical distance value with the actual distance values ​​sensed by each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and turns the double-tube lamp (410) on and off, thereby preventing the main controller (170) from detecting other objects that are not the user's body, such as the floor or side walls of the space where the user is located, as the user's body and controlling the on / off state of the double-tube lamp (410) based on the distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3).

[0124] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched one-to-one with a double-tube lamp (410). For example, each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched one-to-one with a double-tube lamp (410) located on the same line as each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3). Therefore, distance sensing sensor (SV1) is matched with double-tube lamp (V1), distance sensing sensor (SV2) with double-tube lamp (V2), distance sensing sensor (SV3) with double-tube lamp (V3), distance sensing sensor (SH1) with double-tube lamp (H1), distance sensing sensor (SH2) with double-tube lamp (H2), and distance sensing sensor (SH3) with double-tube lamp (H3).

[0125] Therefore, as shown in Figure 14(a), if the distance to the user's body is detected as below the critical distance by the distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the multiple distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance to the user's body is detected as exceeding the critical distance by the distance sensing sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) will use only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3) to emit near-infrared light, and the double-tube lamp (V3) will not emit near-infrared light. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and therefore cannot irradiate the user with a sufficient amount of near-infrared light. In this way, power efficiency can be improved by keeping the double-tube lamp (410), which has low efficiency in near-infrared light applied to the user relative to its power consumption, in the off state.

[0126] In another embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and a double-tube lamp (410) can be matched in a one-to-many manner. For example, each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched with a double-tube lamp (410) located on the same line as each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and with a double-tube lamp (410) located adjacent to it. Therefore, the distance sensor (SV1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V1) and double-tube lamp (V2), the distance sensor (SV2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V2), the double-tube lamp (V1), and the double-tube lamp (V3), the distance sensor (SV3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V3) and the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance sensor (SH1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H1) and the double-tube lamp (H2), the distance sensor (SH2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H2), the double-tube lamp (H1), and the double-tube lamp (H3), and the distance sensor (SH3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H3) and the double-tube lamp (H2).

[0127] Therefore, as shown in Figure 14(a), if the distance to the user's body is detected as below the critical distance by the distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the multiple distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance to the user's body is detected as exceeding the critical distance by the distance sensing sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) can turn on the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3) to emit near-infrared light. In other words, the main controller (170) causes all double-tube lamps (410) to irradiate the user with near-infrared light. Thus, when each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is matched with a double-tube lamp (410) in a one-to-many configuration, power efficiency may decrease slightly, but compared to when each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is matched with a double-tube lamp (410) in a one-to-one configuration, more near-infrared light can be emitted to the user, thereby increasing the user's perceived effect.

[0128] In one embodiment of the present invention, the critical distance that serves as the on / off determination criterion for each double-tube lamp (410) can be set to differ depending on the installation position of each distance sensing sensor (S). As shown in Figure 14(a), when the head frame (300) is formed by bending, the multiple distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be divided into vertical distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) that sense objects below and horizontal distance sensing sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) that sense objects to the sides, based on the entire surface of the head frame (300). In this case, the main controller (170) turns on the double-tube lamps (410) matched to each vertical distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3) if the vertical distance detected by the vertical distance sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) is less than or equal to the vertical critical distance, and turns on the double-tube lamps (410) matched to each horizontal distance sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3) if the horizontal distance detected by the horizontal distance sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) is less than or equal to the horizontal critical distance. In this embodiment, the vertical critical distance and the horizontal critical distance can be set to be different.

[0129] In this embodiment, the vertical critical distance can be the same as the distance between each vertical distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3) and a plane that passes through the lowest end of the head frame (300) and is parallel to the entire surface of the head frame (300) on which each vertical distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3) is installed. On the other hand, the horizontal critical distance can be the same as the distance between each horizontal distance sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3) and a plane that passes through the outermost end of the head frame (300) and is parallel to the entire surface of the head frame (300) on which each horizontal distance sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed. In other words, the main controller (170) can turn on at least one double-tube lamp (410) only when the user's body is positioned within a space defined by two planes formed by the entire surface of the bent head frame (300). Setting the critical distances for the vertical distance sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) and the horizontal distance sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) to be different from each other is intended to accommodate a variety of head frame (300) shapes.

[0130] Figure 14(b) illustrates how, according to another embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is positioned intersecting with each double-tube lamp (V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3). Each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be positioned at a distance from each double-tube lamp (410) in the direction surrounding the lamp. The detection of objects by each distance sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the on / off operation of the double-tube lamp (410) according to this embodiment are largely the same as those shown in Figure 14(a), so in order to avoid a complicated explanation, the following explanation will focus on the differences.

[0131] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is positioned on the entire surface of the reflective bracket (310) in the circumferential direction of each double-tube lamp (410), and can sense the distance perpendicular to the entire surface of the head frame (300). In this case, considering that the user generally positions their body near the center of the width of the head frame (300), it is desirable for each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) to be installed on the reflective bracket (310) at the midpoint of the width of the head frame (300) for more accurate user position sensing. Of course, it is also possible to install each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) on the outside of the reflective bracket (310) to minimize heat exposure from the reflective bracket (310).

[0132] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance sensing sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and a double-tube lamp (410) can be matched one-to-one. For example, distance sensing sensor (SV1) can be matched with double-tube lamp (V1), distance sensing sensor (SV2) with double-tube lamp (V2), distance sensing sensor (SV3) with double-tube lamp (V3), distance sensing sensor (SH1) with double-tube lamp (H1), distance sensing sensor (SH2) with double-tube lamp (H2), and distance sensing sensor (SH3) with double-tube lamp (H3).

[0133] Therefore, as shown in Figure 14(b), if the distance to the user's body is detected as below the critical distance by the distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the multiple distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance to the user's body is detected as exceeding the critical distance by the distance sensing sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) will use only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3) to emit near-infrared light, and the double-tube lamp (V3) will not emit near-infrared light. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and therefore cannot irradiate the user with a sufficient amount of near-infrared light. In this way, power efficiency can be improved by keeping the double-tube lamp (410), which has low efficiency in near-infrared light applied to the user relative to its power consumption, in the off state.

[0134] In another embodiment of the present invention, some of the multiple distance-sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched one-to-one with a double-tube lamp (410), while the remaining portion can be matched one-to-one with the double-tube lamp (410). For example, among the multiple distance-sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), the distance-sensing sensors (S) that are not located between two double-tube lamps (410), namely distance-sensing sensors (SV1) and (SH3), are matched one-to-one with double-tube lamps (V1) and (H3), respectively. However, the remaining distance-sensing sensors (S) located between two double-tube lamps (410), namely distance-sensing sensors (SV2), (SV3), (SH1), and (SH2), are matched with two adjacent double-tube lamps (410), respectively. In other words, the distance sensor (SV2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V1) and double-tube lamp (V2), the distance sensor (SV3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V2) and double-tube lamp (V3), the distance sensor (SH1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H1) and double-tube lamp (H2), and the distance sensor (SH2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H2) and double-tube lamp (H3).

[0135] Therefore, as shown in Figure 14(b), if the distance to the user's body is detected as below the critical distance by the distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the multiple distance sensing sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance to the user's body is detected as exceeding the critical distance by the distance sensing sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) will use only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3) to emit near-infrared light, and the double-tube lamp (V3) will not emit near-infrared light. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and therefore cannot irradiate the user with a sufficient amount of near-infrared light. In this way, power efficiency can be improved by keeping the double-tube lamp (410), which has low efficiency in near-infrared light applied to the user relative to its power consumption, in the off state.

[0136] On the other hand, the user can also change their position relative to the head frame (300) while being exposed to near-infrared light emitted from the head frame (300). For example, the user can move forward toward the head frame (300) to receive the near-infrared light more closely, or move backward away from the head frame (300) if they feel heat on their skin. In order to operate the multiple double-tube lamps (410) more effectively in accordance with such user movements, the main controller (170) can control the on / off status of each double-tube lamp (410) based on changes in the distance sensing state by each distance sensing sensor (S).

[0137] The main controller (170) monitors the distances detected by each distance sensing sensor (S) in real time while the near-infrared device (1000) is operating. If the monitoring results show that a change in the distance sensing state by any one of the distance sensing sensors (S) is maintained for a first critical time or longer, the main controller (170) changes the on / off state of at least one double-tube lamp (410) matched to that distance sensing sensor. For example, if a distance sensing sensor (S) that had been sensing the distance to the user as being below the critical distance then senses that the distance to the user is exceeding the critical distance, and this sensing state is maintained for a first critical time or longer, the main controller (170) can turn off the double-tube lamp (410) matched to that distance sensing sensor (S).

[0138] Conversely, if a distance sensing sensor (S) that had detected the distance to the user as exceeding the critical distance then detects that the distance to the user is below the critical distance, and this detection state is maintained for a first critical time or longer, the main controller (170) can turn on the double-tube lamp (410) matched with the distance sensing sensor (S). In this way, by automatically controlling the operation of multiple double-tube lamps (410) in accordance with the user's movements, the effect of near-infrared light can be improved, and user satisfaction can also be increased.

[0139] On the other hand, when the near-infrared device (1000) starts operating, the main controller (170) recognizes the user's initial position and can efficiently turn on / off multiple double-tube lamps (410). In this embodiment, when power is supplied to the near-infrared device (1000) at the user's position, the main controller (170) turns on the double-tube lamps (410) mapped to distance sensing sensors (S) that sense a distance less than or equal to the critical distance for a period of time of the second critical time or longer within the measurement reference time.

[0140] For example, if the reference time is 3 seconds and the second critical time is 2 seconds, the main controller (170) turns on a double-tube lamp (410) that has been matched to the distance sensing sensor (S) that has detected a distance of 2 seconds or more but less than or equal to the critical distance for 3 seconds after the power is turned on. In this case, the second critical time does not need to be a continuous period of time and is calculated as a total time. The reason why the critical time, i.e., discrete time, which is calculated discontinuously with a reference time in place, is measured cumulatively when the near-infrared device (1000) starts operating is that when the near-infrared device (1000) is initially operating, the user often moves to assume a posture or touch the device to operate it, and continuous time measurement may not reflect the user's intentions.

[0141] Figure 15 is a diagram illustrating the operation of multiple double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a flat plate shape. In this embodiment, the matching of each distance sensing sensor (S) with the double-tube lamps (410), distance sensing by each distance sensing sensor (S), and the on / off switching of the double-tube lamps (410) based on this are the same as those explained with reference to Figure 14, so the following explanation will focus on the differences.

[0142] As shown in Figure 15, the head frame (300) can be formed in a flat plate shape without bending. When the head frame (300) is formed in a flat plate shape in this way, each of the multiple distance sensing sensors (S) will sense the user located in the same direction, that is, in front of the head frame (300). When all the distance sensing sensors (S) sense an object in the same direction in this way, the main controller (170) can set the same critical distance for all the distance sensing sensors (S).

[0143] In this way, because each distance sensing sensor (S) has the same critical distance, the main controller (170) can irradiate the user's body with high efficiency when the user is positioned inside a plane parallel to the entire surface of the head frame (300) and separated by a critical distance from the entire surface of the head frame (300), thereby enabling the device to perform actions that better match the user's intent.

[0144] According to the near-infrared device (1000) of this embodiment, when irradiating a user with near-infrared rays using multiple double-tube lamps (410), the double-tube lamp (410) that can irradiate the user with near-infrared rays with higher efficiency is determined based on the distance between each distance-sensing sensor (S) and the user's body, and the power efficiency can be improved by using the determined double-tube lamp (410) to irradiate the user with near-infrared rays.

[0145] On the other hand, the lamp units (411) installed in the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention are usually arranged in multiples on the working frame (300), but in some cases only one may be installed. Also, as mentioned above, the lamp units (411) are usually tubular (double-tube), but they can also be circular. Below, we will look at a circular lamp unit with reference to Figure 16.

[0146] Figure 16 shows a perspective view and a side view of a lamp assembly including a circular lamp unit according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0147] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lamp assembly (400) may correspond to a plate-shaped lamp (410-1) that includes a circular lamp unit (411-1). In Figure 16, the plate-shaped lamp (410-1) includes multiple lamp units (411-1), but in some cases, only one lamp unit (411-1) may be included in the plate-shaped lamp (410-1), i.e., the lamp assembly (400).

[0148] The lamp assembly (400) may include a circular lamp unit (411-1) and a filter section. The filter section may include a membrane (416) that surrounds all of the lamp units (411-1), and a fluid (414-1) that flows around each of the lamp units (411-1) between the working frame (300) and the membrane (416). Here, the fluid (414-1) may be a liquid or a gas.

[0149] Specifically, at least one lamp unit (411-1) is aligned on the working frame (300), and a fluid (414-1) can be positioned around the lamp unit (411-1) to cool the heat from the lamp unit (411-1) and to emit only energy with a certain range of wavelengths (near-infrared rays).

[0150] Furthermore, a membrane (416) can be installed on the operating frame (300) to guide the fluid (414-1) to flow and prevent it from splashing out. As can be seen in Figure 14(b), a lamp unit (411-1) is installed on the operating frame (300), and the fluid (414-1) can be positioned between the operating frame (300) and the membrane (416).

[0151] Since the plate-shaped lamp (410-1), which includes the circular lamp unit (411-1), also has the same system structure as the rest of the system (cooling system, etc.), we will omit the explanation of the common parts.

[0153] On the other hand, although the aforementioned working frame (300) is shown in an L-shaped bend, it is not limited to this and can be bent into a variety of other shapes.

[0154] As can be seen in Figure 17, the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention may also include a straight-line working frame (300) that is not bent. Only the form differs; functionally, it would be the same as the L-shaped bent form.

[0155] Furthermore, when viewed from a planar perspective, it is also possible for the connecting frame (200) to be bent into a wide U-shape toward the opposite side of its position.

[0156] Furthermore, the aforementioned cooling fan (114) does not necessarily have to be located at the rear; it can also be located at the lower end of the support case (100), as shown in Figure 18. In this case, it may be more advantageous in terms of cooling performance or space utilization.

[0157] The chamber-type near-infrared body care device (2000) of the present invention will be described below.

[0158] Figure 19 is a perspective view illustrating a chamber-type near-infrared body care device according to another embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 20 is a side view of Figure 19.

[0159] Referring to Figures 19 and 20, the chamber-type near-infrared body care device (2000) of the present invention has the technical features of comprising: a base body (2100) supported on the floor and having a space in which the user can lie down; a lid (2200) for opening and closing the base body (2100); and a near-infrared lamp assembly (400) (shown in Figure 1) installed inside the base body (2100), which is configured to block far-infrared and mid-infrared rays from the emitted infrared rays and emit only near-infrared rays, and when these near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin, penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue.

[0160] The lid (2200) can be configured to be opened and closed stably by a shock absorber (2201).

[0161] The base body (2100) includes a cooling module that circulates and cools a refrigerant liquid to cool the heat generated by the lamp unit (411), but the cooling module is designed to be used by selectively adopting either a direct water supply connection method or a non-direct water supply connection method.

And Figure 30 is a perspective view illustrating the main frame in a bed-type near-infrared body care device according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.

[0167] Referring to Figures 21 to 30, the bed-type near-infrared body care device (3000) of the present invention has the technical features of comprising: a bed body (3100) supported on the floor on which a user can lie down; and a near-infrared lamp assembly (400) installed inside the bed body (3100), configured to block far-infrared and mid-infrared rays from the emitted infrared rays and emit only near-infrared rays, which penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue when irradiated onto the skin.

[0168] The base body (3100) includes a cooling module that circulates and cools a refrigerant liquid to cool the heat generated by the lamp unit (411), and the cooling module is configured to selectively adopt either a direct water supply connection method or a non-direct water supply connection method.

[0169] The base body (3100) has front and rear frames (3102) installed in front of and behind the main frame (3101), left and right frames (3103) installed on the left and right sides of the main frame (3101), and an upper frame (3104) installed on top.

[0170] The upper frame (3104) has a rounding groove (3105) formed therein to allow the user to lie down stably. An operation control panel (3106) that can turn the near-infrared therapy on and off is installed on one side of the upper frame (3104).

[0171] The near-infrared lamp assembly (400) of the present invention is fixed by a lower fixing bracket (401) and aligned by an upper holder (402) so that its position is stably arranged.

[0172] As shown in Figure 1, the internal double-tube structure of the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) of the present invention consists of a lamp unit (411) that emits infrared rays, and a double-tube lamp (410) which houses the lamp unit (411) inside and is formed into a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a constant gap (gap) (G) on the inner and outer circumferences, and has double-tube caps (417) installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled into the gap (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413) and flows.

[0173] The effects and benefits of the near-infrared body care system according to this preferred embodiment of the present invention are as follows.

[0174] Sunlight is a type of radiation, and when arranged in order of increasing wavelength, it consists of infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, etc., as can be seen in the diagram. The effects of such radiation on the human body are related to the length of the wavelength. According to a simple energy law, it has been expressed and used by Planck as E=hv, where h is Planck's constant, v is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. In the equation v=1 / λ, as the wavelength increases, the vibration value decreases. Conversely, as the wavelength decreases, the vibration value increases. Therefore, radiation with a wavelength greater than or equal to that of visible light has a lower energy value and thus has less impact on the human body. Visible light is the light that allows us to see things around us, while ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays have short wavelengths and therefore emit a lot of energy, which penetrates deeply into the human body and causes harm. For example, ultraviolet (UV) light has a short wavelength and cannot penetrate the skin, so it is mainly used for skin treatment. UV light is light with a wavelength range of 200 to 400 nm. Visible light (400 to 800 nm) has a longer wavelength than UV light, and it is the wavelength that allows us to distinguish between the seven colors we see. It is a wavelength that is present everywhere around us and is completely harmless.

[0175] Infrared radiation is further divided by wavelength into near-infrared (0.76–1.5 micrometers), mid-infrared (1.5–5.6 micrometers), and far-infrared (5.6–1,000 micrometers). Of these, far-infrared radiation in the 6–16 micrometer wavelength range is known to be the most beneficial to our lives. Infrared radiation, with wavelengths of 0.75–3 micrometers, is what lies outside the red spectrum when sunlight or light emitted from heat sources is dispersed into a spectrum, and near-infrared radiation has the shortest wavelength among these. Because infrared radiation has a considerably longer wavelength than ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, it is completely harmless to the human body. Therefore, in recent years, infrared radiation has been widely used in industrial and medical applications because it generally has a stronger thermal effect than visible light and ultraviolet radiation.

[0176] Near-infrared light exhibits photographic, photoelectric, and fluorescent effects in addition to thermal effects, so detectors such as photographic plates, photocells, photocells, thermocouples, and phosphors are used. It is also used for disinfection, sterilization, and joint and muscle treatment.

[0177] All substances that generate heat emit infrared radiation, but solar radiation is the most important natural source of infrared radiation, accounting for approximately 60% of the radiation we receive from the sun. Infrared radiation is divided into near-infrared, which has a short wavelength, and far-infrared, which has a long wavelength. Far-infrared radiation penetrates the skin to a depth of about 2 mm, while near-infrared radiation penetrates to a depth of 10 mm to 40 mm, activating our life cells. It truly is the light of life.

[0178] In the past, natural healing methods utilized sunlight and firelight, but modern people, with their busy lives, find it difficult to connect with nature, making it hard to see the effects of these methods. In particular, health is being lost due to polluted environments such as polluted air and water, consumption of various instant foods, and stress. People are seeking ways to treat diseases and maintain a healthy life from nature, and one such method is near-infrared light, a natural light source of sunlight.

[0179] When sunlight or light emitted from heat sources is dispersed into a spectrum, infrared radiation lies beyond the edge of the red line, and the shortest wavelength electromagnetic wave within this range is near-infrared radiation. Generally, when classified by wavelength, 0.75 to 3 μm is called near-infrared radiation (NIR: IRA), 3 to 25 μm is called infrared radiation (IRB), and 25 μm and above is called far-infrared radiation (FIR: IRC).

[0180] Infrared light generally has a greater thermal effect than visible light or ultraviolet light, and is therefore widely used in medical and industrial applications, primarily for disinfection, sterilization, and joint and muscle treatment. In particular, near-infrared light penetrates up to 6 mm into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, exhibiting excellent heat transfer and generating ATP and nitric oxide, which greatly contributes to disease treatment.

[0181] Near-infrared light is known to be easy to use and has no side effects. Even just 10 minutes of exposure a day can provide skin beautifying effects, massage effects, neuralgia prevention effects, and fatigue recovery effects, making it beneficial for health. Furthermore, NIR sunlight is primarily used for treating wounds, lacerations, scars, and especially inflammation, and is also used in the treatment of bones, joints, and muscles.

[0182] When absorbed into tissue, it enables the release of nitric oxide (NO) from vascular intima cells and red blood cells. This oxidation and nitric oxide increase blood flow to the tissue, reducing pain. It has also been reported to have a remarkable effect in assisting antibacterial agents in the tissue, ultimately promoting faster wound healing.

[0183] Furthermore, the near-infrared light emitted from existing LEDs does not have enough intensity to raise core body temperature in a short time. Also, because the LEDs themselves do not generate heat and instead artificially create only near-infrared wavelengths using other components, they are not used for aggressive treatment and are applied to simple skin improvement or muscle care.

[0184] While other existing products using halogen lamps can cause serious eye problems, particularly with blue light and ray heat, making it impossible to directly irradiate the eyes with light during near-infrared therapy, the near-infrared body care system of the present invention uses tungsten lamps and has obtained the international photobiological safety standard IEC6271 from the IEC (Global Safety Certification Organization), which certifies that it is particularly safe for the eyes and the human body.

[0185] On the other hand, Figures 31 and 32 illustrate the penetration rate of near-infrared light when irradiating the skin with near-infrared light during near-infrared therapy, and the therapeutic effects on various diseases, in the near-infrared body care system according to the present invention.

[0186] The near-infrared body care system according to the present invention provides a double-tube lamp that houses a lamp unit that emits infrared rays, with a constant gap between the inner and outer surfaces to form a central tube and an optical transmission tube. Double-tube caps are installed at both ends to allow a coolant liquid (e.g., water) to flow through the gap between the central tube and the optical transmission tube. By employing a water filter system, which is a filtration method using water as a medium, far-infrared and mid-infrared rays from the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit are blocked, and only near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double-tube lamp. This allows the near-infrared rays to penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue when irradiated onto the skin, thereby providing various health benefits to the body.

[0187] Referring to Figures 31 and 32, near-infrared rays have a skin penetration rate more than 12 times higher than far-infrared rays, and can apply very high-intensity heat to various diseases (for example, liver, diabetes, blood vessels, skin problems, cell activation, brain diseases, etc.) to bring about diverse health effects on the body. The near-infrared body care system of the present invention has the following effects.

[0188] (1) Radiofrequency cancer treatment and concurrent treatment for patients with various types of cancer and tumors

[0189] (2) Immunotherapy for chronic skin diseases and various allergies

[0190] (3) Treatment to improve blood circulation in cases of spinal cord / brain injury, stroke, cardiac arrest, etc.

[0191] (4) Beauty care including detoxification (elimination of waste products), skin and hair care, and diet.

[0192] (5) Immunotherapy and hyperthermia necessary for treating various diseases caused by aging

[0193] (6) Treatment of male and female reproductive organ-related diseases (prostate, physiological disorders, etc.)

[0194] (7) Treatment of myalgia, inflammation, joint and peripheral nerve-related conditions

[0195] (8) Prevention and management of various diseases in mothers before and after childbirth (edema, depression, obesity, etc.)

[0196] (9) Healthcare for the prevention of various diseases caused by insufficient immunity

[0197] On the other hand, the present invention may have the following features.

[0198] The near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention comprises a lamp unit (411) that emits infrared rays; and a double-tube lamp (410) that houses the lamp unit (411) and is formed in a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a constant gap (gap) (G) on the inner and outer circumferences, and double-tube caps (417) are installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled into the gap (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413) and flows. The lamp unit (411) has a filament installed inside a glass body (411a), and an inert gas (for example, nitrogen gas) is sealed inside the lamp unit (411). The far-infrared and mid-infrared rays of the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit (411) are blocked, and only near-infrared rays are emitted to the outside of the double-tube lamp (410), thus having a technical feature that allows the near-infrared rays to penetrate deeply into the subcutaneous tissue when irradiated onto the skin.

[0199] The double-tube lamp (410) is configured to enclose the outside of the lamp unit (411), and a coolant liquid is filled into the gap (G) and allowed to flow, thereby cooling the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) during near-infrared therapy and preventing the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) from directly contacting the user's skin, thus preventing skin burns.
