[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 the present 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 the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the light source unit 11 is disposed inside a substantially cylindrical shape that can be easily carried and moved by hand, and the irradiation heat conduction unit 12 is disposed inside a substantially conical shape, and irradiates light from the tip (a spherical pressing irradiation member 12A described later) (LB in FIG. 4 described later).

The plurality of light-emitting members 11A may be configured to be arranged on both sides of a control board (substantially disk-shaped board) attached by an attachment member 11AS as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The plurality of light-emitting members 11A (control board) may be attached so as to be slidable and movable in the irradiation direction (optical axis direction) as shown in FIG. 2. The number of light-emitting members 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 can 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, can reduce power consumption, and can 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 a 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. The optical element member 11B can use an optical lens or the like. 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 reflection surface 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 projects the condensed irradiation light onto the irradiation heat conduction part 12 (the pressing irradiation member 12A described later) as shown in FIG. 4(c), and irradiates light in the irradiation direction LB. Thereby, the optical element member 11B according to the present invention improves the intensity of the light (irradiating 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 reflection 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 supports the pressing irradiation member 12A so as to be movable 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 spring member 12C, and is rotatably held by the pressing force (extension force, restoring force) of the spring member 12C. Thereby, when irradiating the body with light, the pressing irradiation member 12A can irradiate 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 reflection heat source member 12B is artificial Ores can be used. Also, the reflection heat source member 12B can use terahertz ores. 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 light can be irradiated while rotating the pressing irradiation member 12A on the surface of the body (by friction). 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 shape, arrangement, and material determined in advance by design, experiment, calculation, etc.
