Description
Near-infrared body care device
[0001] The present invention relates to a near-infrared body care device using a near-infrared lamp assembly, and more particularly, to a near-infrared body care device comprising: a support case supported on a floor; a connecting frame having one end connected to the support case and extendable upward from the support case; and an operating frame connected to the other end of the connecting frame and having a near-infrared lamp assembly installed therein, wherein the near-infrared lamp assembly comprises a plurality of double-tube lamps aligned on the operating frame, each of the double-tube lamps comprising: a central tube in which a lamp unit is accommodated; a light transmission tube surrounding the central tube in a spaced manner; and a liquid flowing between the central tube and the light transmission tube, wherein the support case comprises: a cooling unit for receiving and cooling liquid from the near-infrared lamp assembly; a liquid receiving tank for receiving liquid cooled by the cooling unit; and a pump for receiving liquid from the liquid receiving tank and pumping it to the near-infrared lamp assembly.
[0002] In general, far infrared and near infrared rays are short-wavelength rays that are close to the radiation of the sun and do not heat the air, but only heat objects to which heat is transferred in wavelengths. They have longer wavelengths and lower energy than visible light and have the property of being converted into heat when absorbed by an object.
[0003] When these infrared rays are irradiated onto the human body, they penetrate deep into the body and are converted into heat, so they are widely used in infrared treatment devices that use near-infrared rays irradiated from infrared lamps to treat affected areas such as muscles and wounds.
[0004] Infrared rays like this are a representative form of radiant energy that directly transfers energy from a high-temperature object to a low-temperature object without a medium, and are widely used for medical purposes to transfer energy to the human skin or deep parts. In order to maximize the therapeutic effect using infrared rays, wIRA (Water-filtered Infrared-A) in the 760-1,400 nm band is usually generated using a halogen lamp to conduct the irradiation.
[0005] Conventional near-infrared lamp assemblies mainly use asbestos around the heating element to block the high heat generated during heating. However, when used for a long time, asbestos powder is released, which is not only harmful to the human body but also pollutes the environment.
[0006] Furthermore, conventional near-infrared healthcare devices have the characteristic that the energy density transmitted to the user decreases rapidly as the distance between the lamp and the user increases due to the nature of near-infrared rays. Accordingly, among multiple lamps, lamps that are farther away from the user may not be able to transmit sufficient near-infrared rays to the user. The use of lamps with low irradiation efficiency like this acts as one of the factors reducing the overall energy efficiency of the device, as the amount of near-infrared rays transmitted to the user is small while the amount of power consumed is the same as that of other lamps.
[0007] In addition, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2010-0039317 discloses an infrared TDP thermal therapy device that irradiates far-infrared rays, comprising: a housing having an opening formed with one open side; an infrared lamp mounted inside the opening of the housing and emitting infrared rays; a TDP plate that radiates specific radio waves from the inside of the infrared lamp to the opening; and a radiation plate mounted inside the opening and formed into a curved surface so that infrared rays emitted from the infrared lamp inside the TDP are diffused to the opening.
[0008] In addition, Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1441811 discloses a technology for a thermal therapy device that can intensively increase the deep body temperature of a treatment subject by irradiating the treatment subject with a halogen lamp having an infrared wavelength while removing light of a long wavelength band that increases the body temperature near the skin of the treatment subject.
[0009] In addition, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-1558790 discloses a technology for an infrared lamp tube comprising a case formed of a tubular body and having a space therein, an infrared emitting unit having a plurality of halogen lamps arranged longitudinally at intervals inside the case, a stopper fitted to each side of the case, and a filter liquid made of water filled in the space of the case.
[0010] According to the above-mentioned prior art documents, wIRA is generated by utilizing the wavelength characteristics of a halogen lamp as an infrared source, and the emitted energy of the halogen lamp is increased in output to irradiate the body.
[0011] When performing treatment using the above halogen lamp, there is a problem in that the light emitted from the halogen lamp comes into contact with the user's face, especially the user's eyes, causing damage to the eyes.
[0012] The present invention has been invented to improve the above-mentioned problems, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a double-tube lamp that accommodates a lamp unit that emits infrared rays inside, is formed of a central tube and a light transmission tube with a predetermined gap (gap) on the inner and outer peripheries, and has double-tube caps installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (e.g., water) is filled and flows into the gap (gap) between the central tube and the light transmission tube, and adopts a water filter method that is a filtration method using water, so that far infrared rays and mid-infrared rays among 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, thereby allowing the near-infrared rays to penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue when irradiated onto the skin, thereby promoting various health effects on the body, and a near-infrared body care system using the near-infrared lamp assembly.
[0013] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a near-infrared lamp assembly capable of controlling the brightness ratio of a near-infrared emitting lamp, supplying and circulating cooling water according to the level of cooling water so as to control the high temperature heat emitted from the lamp at a constant level, and controlling the temperature according to the installation position of the near-infrared emitting lamp, and a near-infrared body care system using the near-infrared lamp assembly.
[0014] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a near-infrared health care device with high energy efficiency, which can reduce power consumption while maintaining the health care effect of near-infrared rays compared to using all double-tube lamps by irradiating near-infrared rays to a user using only a double-tube lamp capable of providing near-infrared rays with high efficiency to the user's body among a plurality of double-tube lamps irradiating near-infrared rays, thereby irradiating the user with near-infrared rays.

[0066] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating a near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention.
[0067] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a 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) inside, is formed with a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a predetermined gap (G) at the inner and outer peripheries, and has a double-tube cap (417) installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled and flows into the gap (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413).
[0068] The above lamp unit (411) has a filament (not shown) installed inside a glass body (411a), and an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen gas) is filled inside the lamp unit (411).
[0069] The near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention has a technical feature that, by virtue of its double-tube lamp structure, far infrared and mid-infrared rays among the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit (411) are blocked, and only near-infrared rays are emitted outside the double-tube lamp (410), so that when the near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin, they penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue.
[0070] In the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) according to the present invention, a double-tube lamp (410) is arranged to surround the outside of the lamp unit (411), and a refrigerant liquid is filled and flows into the gap (G), so that during near-infrared treatment, the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) is cooled and the high-temperature heat emitted from the lamp unit (411) does not directly contact the user's skin, thereby preventing skin burns while sufficiently exhibiting the near-infrared therapeutic effect.
[0071] In addition, FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an embodiment of a near-infrared body care system using a near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention.
[0072] As illustrated in FIG. 2, a near-infrared body care system (1) using a near-infrared lamp assembly according to the present invention performs near-infrared treatment using a near-infrared lamp assembly (400), and has a technical feature of including any one of 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).
[0073] That is, the described near-infrared body care system (1) may correspond to 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] For convenience of explanation, in the case of a portable near-infrared body care device (1000), the word "portable" may be omitted and described as a near-infrared body care device (1000). Hereinafter, a (portable) near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention will be described.
[0075] As illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 12, the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention comprises a support case (100) supported on the floor; a connection frame (200) having one end connected to the support case (100) and extendable upward from the support case (100); and an action frame (300) connected to the other end of the connection frame (200) and having a near-infrared lamp assembly (400).
[0076] The above-mentioned near-infrared lamp assembly (400) is configured to include a lamp unit (411) that emits infrared rays; and a double-tube lamp (410) that houses the lamp unit (411) inside, is formed with a central tube (412) and a light transmission tube (413) with a constant gap (G) on the inner and outer peripheries, and has a double-tube cap (417) installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (414) is filled and flows into the gap (G) between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413).
[0077] That is, the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) includes a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) aligned in the operating frame (300), and each of the double-tube lamps (410) includes a central tube (412) in which a lamp unit (411) is accommodated, a light transmission tube (413) surrounding the central tube (412) in a spaced state, and a liquid (414) flowing between the central tube (412) and the light transmission tube (413), and the support case (100) may be configured to accommodate a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling the liquid (414) from the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), a liquid tank (120) for receiving the liquid cooled by the cooling unit (110), and a pump (130) for receiving the liquid (414) from the liquid tank (120) and pumping it to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).
[0078] The above lamp unit (411) has a technical feature in that a filament is installed inside a glass body (411a), an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen gas) is sealed inside the lamp unit (411), and among the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit (411), far infrared rays and mid-infrared rays are blocked and only near-infrared rays are emitted outside the double-tube lamp (410), so that when the near-infrared rays are irradiated onto the skin, they penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue.
[0079] The above double-tube lamp (410) is configured to surround the outside of the lamp unit (411), and a refrigerant liquid is configured to be filled and flowed into the gap (G), 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.
[0080] The above support case (100) includes a cooling module for circulating and cooling a refrigerant liquid to cool the heat generation of the lamp unit (411), and the cooling module adopts a non-water direct connection method (a self-circulating refrigerant liquid method) so that the near-infrared body care device can be easily moved and transported.
[0081] The cooling module, as illustrated in FIG. 11, comprises a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling liquid from a near-infrared lamp assembly (400); a liquid receiving tank (120) for receiving refrigerant liquid cooled by the cooling unit (110); and a pump (130) for receiving liquid from the liquid receiving tank (120) and sending it toward the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).
[0082] The above cooling module uses a water filter method to prevent contamination of the inside of the refrigerant liquid.
[0083] For reference, the present invention adopts a water filter method, which is a filtration method using water, to filter out unnecessary or harmful rays in the wavelength range of sunlight, and only the near-infrared rays (700-1400 nm) wavelengths extracted in this way can efficiently increase the core body temperature without causing thermal damage to the skin.
[0084] In addition, in the (portable) near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention, when viewed from a plane or side, the working frame (300) has a shape that is bent toward the opposite side with respect to the position of the connecting frame (200), and a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) are installed on the opposite side of the position of the connecting frame (200) in the working frame (300).
[0085] In the above-mentioned working frame (300), a lamp installation reflection bracket (310) bent along a bent shape is installed on the opposite side of the position of the connecting frame (200), and a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) are installed in parallel.
[0086] In addition, the lamp installation reflector bracket (310) has a container shape in which a lamp inlet portion (311) facing the double-tube lamp (410) is open to accommodate a plurality of double-tube lamps (410), and an installation groove is formed on each of the facing flanges (312) of the lamp installation reflector bracket (310) into which a first liquid flow tube (440) extending from both ends of the double-tube lamp (410) is inserted, and an elastic support piece (415) is installed on the bottom of the lamp installation reflector bracket (310) to support the vicinity of both ends of the double-tube lamp (410).
[0087] The elastic support member (415) is positioned on both sides of the double-tube lamp (410) and extends toward the lamp entrance portion (311), but has a shape in which the waist portion is bent inward, so that the double-tube lamp (410) can be easily elastically connected to the elastic support member (415) through the lamp entrance portion (311) in a one-touch manner, and can be easily separated.
[0088] In addition, in the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention, when viewed from the side, a distribution pipe (320) formed by bending along a bent shape is installed on the side where the double-tube lamp (410) is arranged on the working frame (300), and 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, and a plurality of 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 pipe (321) that are spaced apart from each other. The flexible pipe (330) may be made of various flexible and durable materials such as rubber, silicone, or other materials.
[0089] According to this configuration, there is an advantage in that a solid connection is possible without leakage by the flexible tube (330) even if the first liquid flow tube (440) and the second liquid flow tube (321) are not exactly arranged in a straight line.
[0090] The above distribution pipe (320) can be installed on an appropriate bracket (370) fixed on the above action frame (300).
[0091] The above support case (100) accommodates a cooling unit (110) for receiving and cooling liquid (414) from the near-infrared lamp assembly (400), a liquid receiving tank (120) for receiving the liquid (414) cooled by the cooling unit (110), and a pump (130) for receiving the liquid (414) from the liquid receiving tank (120) and sending it to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400).
[0092] The above cooling unit (110) is a part that prevents the liquid (414) heated and circulated in the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) from continuously increasing in temperature so that the liquid (414) can properly function as a near-infrared filter, and also maintains the durability of the double pipe. It is composed of components that form a general cooling cycle, such as a compressor (111), a condenser (112), an expansion valve (not shown, but a built-in configuration), and an evaporator (113).
[0093] In addition, a compressor (111) and a condenser (112) are installed on 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 heat generated from the condenser (112), and a liquid tank (120) and a pump (130) for pumping liquid (414) may be installed inside the support case (100).
[0094] In addition, the compressor (111) and the condenser (112) are arranged sequentially from the front to the rear while being surrounded by a protective frame (150) having a channel-shaped cross-section, and the heat dissipation fan (114) is arranged on the rear of the support case (100) to face the condenser (112), and the liquid receiving tank (120) and the pump (130) are loaded on the upper part of the protective frame (150).
[0095] In addition, an evaporator (113) constituting the cooling unit (110) is installed inside the liquid receiving tank (120). The evaporator (113) may correspond to a coil shape that is wound upward while being supported on the bottom of the liquid receiving tank (120), and accordingly, since the evaporator (113) is not separately installed on the outside, the cross-sectional area occupied by the support case (100) can be further reduced. Of course, a thermoelectric element may be adopted as the cooling unit (110) to block noise generated from the compressor (111).
[0096] In addition, the pump (130) is configured to suck low-temperature liquid from the liquid receiving tank (120) and supply it to the double-tube lamp (410), and the high-temperature liquid discharged from the double-tube lamp (410) is re-supplied to the liquid receiving tank (120) and cooled by the evaporator (113). That is, it is structured so that the liquid in the liquid receiving tank (120) can be directly cooled by the evaporator (113).
[0097] In this case, it is preferable to ensure that the distance between the point where the liquid is returned to the liquid receiving tank (120) and the point where the low-temperature liquid is discharged is as large as possible so that the liquid sufficiently cooled by the evaporator (113) flows to the pump (130).
[0098] For example, as illustrated, the evaporator (113) may be installed upright within the liquid tank (120), and the point where the liquid flows in may be placed inside the evaporator (113) at the bottom of the liquid tank (120), and the point where the liquid flows out may be placed on the upper side of the liquid tank (120).
[0099] In addition, the high-temperature liquid flowing in from the bottom of the liquid receiving tank (120) is uniformly cooled as it rises by creating a spiral (vortex) flow by the evaporator (113) and can be discharged through the upper side of the liquid receiving tank (120) and directed toward the pump (130).
[0100] In addition, the connecting frame (200) connected to the support case (100) and the action frame (300) connected to the other end of the connecting frame (200) are configured to be capable of horizontal rotation and vertical rotation, so that it is possible to freely irradiate near-infrared rays to any part of the user, such as the head, face, and abdomen.
[0101] In addition, in the above-described action frame (300), a first connection pipe (610) and a second connection pipe (620) are extended to the left and right of the connection frame (200), each end of which is connected to the distribution pipe (320), and the other ends of the first connection pipe (610) and the second connection pipe (620) are connected to the support case (100), respectively, and can be connected to the liquid receiving tank (120).
[0102] In addition, the connecting frame (200) and the action frame (300) are installed so as to be detachable, and the first connection pipe (610) and the second connection pipe (620) are installed so as to be detachable from the action frame (300), so that they can be replaced with various types of action frames (300) depending on the body part being investigated, and can be used for multiple purposes.
[0103] In addition, a water level sensor (121) for detecting the liquid level in the liquid receiving tank (120) may be installed to issue a warning message and enable an emergency stop when the level falls below or exceeds an appropriate water level range.
[0104] Additionally, a temperature sensor (122) is installed in the liquid receiving tank (120) to detect the liquid temperature inside, thereby detecting the liquid temperature and ensuring that it is within an appropriate temperature range.
[0105] A touch screen (160) is installed on one side of the upper surface of the above support case (100), and the operation or emergency stop of the device, control of the investigation temperature, etc. can be performed, and the liquid temperature, water level, compressor temperature, investigation temperature, etc. of the liquid receiving tank (120) can be displayed.
[0106] In addition, it is preferable that the main controller (PCB, 170) be installed on the inner side opposite the touch screen (160) of the support case (100) to improve space efficiency. In particular, it is preferable that the touch screen (160) and the main controller (170) be installed on the rear side of the support case (100) on the side where the heat dissipation fan (114) is installed to avoid exposure to high temperatures.
[0107] The component code 180, which is not described above, represents a check valve and 190 represents a flow switch. If the flow switch (190) does not detect a flow during operation, the device is judged to be abnormal and an emergency operation stop function is performed so that maintenance can be performed.
[0108] In addition, component symbol 800 represents a liquid connection pipe connecting a pump (130), a near-infrared lamp assembly (400), and a liquid receiving tank (120). It is preferable that a wheel (140) be installed at the bottom of the support case (100) to enable easy transportation and movement.
[0109] Although the above-described embodiments have been described with a focus on the user's head and face, they can be equally applied to various parts of a lying user, such as the abdomen, chest, or pelvis.
[0110] Figure 12 illustrates an example of components, liquid piping, refrigerant piping, communication, and electrical connection configurations that constitute a near-infrared body care device (1000). First, when the near-infrared body care device (1000) is operated via a touch screen (160), the liquid in the liquid tank (120) is moved to the near-infrared lamp assembly (400) by the pump (130).
[0111] And, the lamp unit (411) in the double-tube lamp (410) constituting the above-mentioned near-infrared lamp assembly (400) is turned on to conduct irradiation, and the mid-infrared and far-infrared rays are filtered by the liquid flowing inside the double-tube lamp (410), and only the near-infrared rays are emitted.
[0112] The liquid heated by the lamp unit (411) is discharged from the double-tube lamp (410) and directed to the liquid receiving tank (120) for cooling. In this case, a coil-type evaporator (113) constituting a cooling unit (110) is installed inside the liquid receiving tank (120), so that the liquid is rapidly cooled, and the cooled liquid flows back to the double-tube lamp (410) through the pump (130).
[0113] This type of circulation method allows continuous near-infrared irradiation of various parts of the user, such as the head, abdomen, or pelvis.
[0114] Furthermore, as illustrated in FIG. 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 smart watch (W) that receives the user health information detected by the biosensor unit and allows the user to check his or her health by wearing it; and a mobile communication terminal (T) having an application installed thereon so that the user can visually check the improved health status by the near-infrared treatment of the near-infrared body care device.
[0115] The above biosensor unit (S) is installed inside the action frame (300) to take pictures of the user's body, for example, the head, and can precisely check the user's health status based on artificial intelligence.
[0116] FIG. 14 and FIG. 15 are drawings for explaining the operation of a plurality of double-tube lamps according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0117] The near-infrared body care device (1000) according to an embodiment of the present invention can save energy by irradiating near-infrared rays to the user using only at least one double-tube lamp (410) that has an excellent near-infrared transmission effect when irradiating near-infrared rays to the user using a plurality of double-tube lamps (410). To this end, a plurality of distance detection sensors (S) may be provided in the head frame (300) according to an embodiment of the present invention. Each distance detection sensor (S) is arranged to detect the position of an object located in front of the front of the head frame (300), thereby detecting the distance between the distance detection sensor (S) and the user's body and transmitting the detected distance to the main controller (170). The main controller (170) determines a double-tube lamp (410) that can irradiate near-infrared rays to the user with relatively high efficiency among the plurality of double-tube lamps (410) based on the distance information received from each distance detection sensor (S), and turns on the determined double-tube lamp (410), thereby improving power efficiency.
[0118] In the present embodiment, the distance detection sensor (S) may be an ultrasonic sensor, but is not limited thereto. Hereinafter, the operation of the main controller (170) will be examined with reference to FIG. 14, which describes the operation of a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a bent shape, and FIG. 15, which describes the operation of a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a flat shape.
[0119] FIG. 14(a) is a drawing showing a state in which each distance detection 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, FIG. 14(a) shows a state in which each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on a plane that is perpendicular to the front of the head frame (300) and passes through the center line of each double-tube lamp (410). In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance detection 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 detect a distance in a direction perpendicular to the front of the head frame (300). In this case, considering that the user generally places his / her body near the center of the width of the head frame (300), it is preferable that each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) be installed at the midpoint of the length of each double-tube lamp (410) for more accurate detection of the user's position.
[0120] In another embodiment, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) may be installed on one or both sides of the length of each double-tube lamp (410). In this case, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed in an area of the front of the head frame (300) where the reflective bracket (310) is not installed, thereby minimizing heat transferred from the reflective bracket (310).
[0121] Each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) detects the distance between each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and an object located in front of the front of the head frame (300) and transmits the distance to the main controller (170). The main controller (170) compares the distance value between each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the object received from each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) with a threshold distance set in advance. As a result of the comparison, the double-tube lamp (410) matched with each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) that measured a distance less than the threshold distance is turned on to emit near-infrared rays.
[0122] In this way, by comparing the threshold distance value with the distance value detected by each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) to turn the double-tube lamp (410) on and off, the main controller (170) can prevent the double-tube lamp (410) from being turned on and off by detecting an object other than the user's body, such as the floor or side wall of the space where the user is located, as the user's body by the distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3).
[0123] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the double-tube lamp (410) can be matched one-to-one. For example, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched one-to-one with the double-tube lamp (410) located on the same line as each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3). Accordingly, the distance detection sensor (SV1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V1), the distance detection sensor (SV2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance detection sensor (SV3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V3), the distance detection sensor (SH1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H1), the distance detection sensor (SH2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H2), and the distance detection sensor (SH3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H3).
[0124] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 14(a), when the distance from the user's body is detected as being less than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance from the user's body is detected as being more than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) radiates near-infrared rays using only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3), and the double-tube lamp (V3) does not radiate near-infrared rays. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and thus cannot irradiate a sufficient amount of near-infrared rays to the user. In this way, the double-tube lamp (410), which has a low efficiency of near-infrared rays applied to the user compared to the power consumption, is kept in the off state, thereby improving power efficiency.
[0125] In another embodiment of the present invention, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the double-tube lamp (410) can be matched one-to-many. For example, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) can be matched with a double-tube lamp (410) located on the same line as each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and a double-tube lamp (410) located adjacent to it. Accordingly, the distance detection sensor (SV1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V1) and the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance detection sensor (SV2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V2), the double-tube lamp (V1) and the double-tube lamp (V3), the distance detection sensor (SV3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V3) and the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance detection sensor (SH1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H1) and the double-tube lamp (H2), the distance detection sensor (SH2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H2), the double-tube lamp (H1) and the double-tube lamp (H3), and the distance detection sensor (SH3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H3) and the double-tube lamp (H2).
[0126] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 14(a), when the distance from the user's body is detected as being less than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance from the user's body is detected as being more than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) can turn on the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3) to emit near-infrared rays. That is, the main controller (170) causes all double-tube lamps (410) to irradiate near-infrared rays to the user. In this way, when each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the double tube lamp (410) are matched one-to-many, the power efficiency may be somewhat reduced, but when each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the double tube lamp (410) are matched one-to-one, more near-infrared rays can be irradiated to the user, thereby increasing the user's perceived effect.
[0127] In one embodiment of the present invention, the threshold distance that serves as the on / off determination criterion for each double-tube lamp (410) may be set differently depending on the installation position of each distance detection sensor (S). As illustrated in Fig. 14(a), when the head frame (300) is bent, the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) may be divided into vertical distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) that detect objects below the front of the head frame (300) and horizontal distance detection sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) that detect objects to the side. At this time, the main controller (170) turns on the double-tube lamp (410) matched to each vertical distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3) when the vertical distance detected by the vertical distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) is less than or equal to the vertical threshold distance, and turns on the double-tube lamp (410) matched to each horizontal distance detection sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3) when the horizontal distance detected by the horizontal distance detection sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) is less than or equal to the horizontal threshold distance. In this embodiment, the vertical threshold distance and the horizontal threshold distance may be set differently.
[0128] In the present embodiment, the vertical threshold distance may be equal to the distance between a plane passing through the lowest end of the head frame (300) and parallel to the front of the head frame (300) on which each vertical distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3) is installed and each vertical distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3). Meanwhile, the horizontal threshold distance may be equal to the distance between a plane passing through the lateral end of the head frame (300) and parallel to the front of the head frame (300) on which each horizontal distance detection sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed and each horizontal distance detection sensor (SH1, SH2, SH3). That is, the main controller (170) may turn on at least one double-tube lamp (410) only when the user's body is located within a space defined by two sides by the front of the folded head frame (300). In this way, the threshold distances for the vertical distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3) and the horizontal distance detection sensors (SH1, SH2, SH3) are set differently to enable response to various shapes of the head frame (300).
[0129] FIG. 14(b) illustrates a state in which each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is positioned staggered relative to each double-tube lamp (V1, V2, V3, H1, H2, H3) according to another embodiment of the present invention. Each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) may be positioned spaced apart from each double-tube lamp (410) in the circumferential direction of each double-tube lamp (410). Since the detection of an object by each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) according to the present embodiment and the on / off operation of the double-tube lamp (410) are largely the same as those described with reference to FIG. 14(a), the following description will focus on the different parts to avoid a complicated explanation.
[0130] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is arranged on the front of the reflective bracket (310) in the circumferential direction of each double-tube lamp (410) and can detect the distance in the direction perpendicular to the front of the head frame (300). In this case, considering that the user generally places his / her body near the center of the width of the head frame (300), it is preferable that each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) is installed on the reflective bracket (310) at the midpoint of the width of the head frame (300) for more accurate detection of the user's position. Of course, it is also possible for each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) to be installed on the outside of the reflective bracket (310) to minimize heat from the reflective bracket (310).
[0131] In one embodiment of the present invention, each distance detection sensor (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) and the double-tube lamp (410) can be matched one-to-one. For example, the distance detection sensor (SV1) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (V1), the distance detection sensor (SV2) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance detection sensor (SV3) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (V3), the distance detection sensor (SH1) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (H1), the distance detection sensor (SH2) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (H2), and the distance detection sensor (SH3) can be matched with the double-tube lamp (H3).
[0132] Accordingly, as illustrated in FIG. 14(b), when the distance from the user's body is detected as being less than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance from the user's body is detected as being more than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) radiates near-infrared rays using only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3), and the double-tube lamp (V3) does not radiate near-infrared rays. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and thus cannot irradiate a sufficient amount of near-infrared rays to the user. In this way, the double-tube lamp (410), which has a low efficiency of near-infrared rays applied to the user compared to the power consumption, is maintained in the off state, thereby improving power efficiency.
[0133] In another embodiment of the present invention, some of the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) may be matched one-to-one with the double-tube lamp (410), and the remaining some may be matched one-to-two with the double-tube lamp (410). For example, among the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), the distance detection sensors (S) that are not arranged between two double-tube lamps (410), i.e., the distance detection sensor (SV1) and the distance detection sensor (SH3), are matched one-to-one with the double-tube lamp (V1) and the double-tube lamp (H3), respectively. However, the remaining distance detection sensors (S) arranged between the two double-tube lamps (410), i.e., distance detection sensor (SV2), distance detection sensor (SV3), distance detection sensor (SH1), and distance detection sensor (SH2), are each matched with two adjacent double-tube lamps (410). In other words, the distance detection sensor (SV2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V1) and the double-tube lamp (V2), the distance detection sensor (SV3) is matched with the double-tube lamp (V2) and the double-tube lamp (V3), the distance detection sensor (SH1) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H1) and the double-tube lamp (H2), and the distance detection sensor (SH2) is matched with the double-tube lamp (H2) and the double-tube lamp (H3).
[0134] Therefore, as illustrated in FIG. 14(b), when the distance from the user's body is detected as being less than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3) among the plurality of distance detection sensors (SV1, SV2, SV3, SH1, SH2, SH3), and the distance from the user's body is detected as being more than the threshold distance by the distance detection sensor (SV3), the main controller (170) radiates near-infrared rays using only the double-tube lamps (V1, V2, H1, H2, H3), and the double-tube lamp (V3) does not radiate near-infrared rays. This is because the double-tube lamp (V3) is not positioned relatively close to the user's body and thus cannot irradiate a sufficient amount of near-infrared rays to the user. In this way, the double-tube lamp (410), which has a low efficiency of near-infrared rays applied to the user compared to the power consumption, is kept in the off state, thereby improving power efficiency.
[0135] Meanwhile, the user may change his / her position with respect to the head frame (300) while being exposed to near-infrared rays from the head frame (300). For example, the user may move forward toward the head frame (300) to receive the near-infrared rays from closer, and may move backward to feel a heat sensation on his / her skin and move away from the head frame (300). In order to more effectively operate the plurality of double-tube lamps (410) according to the user's movements, the main controller (170) may control the on / off of each double-tube lamp (410) based on changes in the distance detection status by each distance detection sensor (S).
[0136] The main controller (170) monitors the distance detected from each distance detection sensor (S) in real time during the operation of the near-infrared device (1000). As a result of the monitoring, if the change in the distance detection status by any one of the distance detection sensors (S) is maintained for a first threshold time or longer, the on / off status of at least one double-tube lamp (410) matching any one of the distance detection sensors is changed. For example, if the distance detection sensor (S) that was detecting the distance from the user as being less than the threshold distance detects that the distance from the user is greater than the threshold distance, and this detection status is maintained for a first threshold time or longer, the main controller (170) can turn off the double-tube lamp (410) matching with the corresponding distance detection sensor (S).
[0137] On the other hand, if the distance detection sensor (S) that detected the distance from the user as exceeding the threshold distance detects that the distance from the user is less than the threshold distance and this detection state is maintained for a first threshold time or longer, the main controller (170) can turn on the double-tube lamp (410) matched with the distance detection sensor (S). In this way, by automatically controlling the operation of multiple double-tube lamps (410) according to the user's movement, the effect of near-infrared rays can be improved, and user satisfaction can also be increased.
[0138] Meanwhile, when the near-infrared device (1000) starts operating, the main controller (170) can recognize the initial location of the user and efficiently turn on / off multiple double-tube lamps (410). According to the present embodiment, when power is input to the near-infrared device (1000) at the user's location, the main controller (170) turns on the double-tube lamp (410) mapped to the distance detection sensor (S) that detects a distance less than a threshold distance for a second threshold time or longer within the measurement reference time.
[0139] For example, if the measurement standard time is 3 seconds and the second threshold time is 2 seconds, the main controller (170) turns on the double-tube lamp (410) matched to the distance detection sensor (S) that detects a distance of 2 seconds or more but less than the threshold distance for a total of 3 seconds after the power is turned on. At this time, the second threshold time does not have to be a continuous time and is calculated as the total time. The reason for accumulating and measuring the threshold time, that is, the discrete time, which is calculated discontinuously with the measurement standard time set when the operation of the near-infrared device (1000) starts is that when the near-infrared device (1000) is initially operated, the user often takes a posture or moves to touch or operate the device, so continuous time measurement may not reflect the user's intention.
[0140] Fig. 15 is a drawing for explaining the operation of a plurality of double-tube lamps (410) in an embodiment in which the head frame (300) is formed in a flat shape. In this embodiment, the matching of each distance detection sensor (S) and the double-tube lamp (410), the distance detection by each distance detection sensor (S), and the on / off of the double-tube lamp (410) based thereon are the same as those described with reference to Fig. 14, and therefore, the following description will focus on the differences.
[0141] As illustrated in Fig. 15, the head frame (300) may be formed in a flat shape without being folded. In this case, when the head frame (300) is formed in a flat shape, each of the plurality of distance detection sensors (S) detects a user positioned in the same direction, i.e., in front of the head frame (300). In this case, when all distance detection sensors (S) detect an object in the same direction, the main controller (170) can set the same threshold distance for all distance detection sensors (S).
[0142] In this way, since each distance detection sensor (S) has the same critical distance, the main controller (170) can irradiate near-infrared rays with high efficiency to the user's body located inside a plane parallel to the front of the head frame (300) and spaced apart from the front of the head frame (300) by the critical distance, thereby performing an operation more in line with the user's intention.
[0143] According to the near-infrared device (1000) according to the present embodiment, in irradiating near-infrared rays to a user using a plurality of double-tube lamps (410), a double-tube lamp (410) capable of irradiating near-infrared rays with higher efficiency to the user is determined based on the distance between each distance detection sensor detected by a plurality of distance detection sensors (S) and the user's body, and by irradiating near-infrared rays to the user using the determined double-tube lamp (410), there is a technical effect of increasing power efficiency.
[0144] Meanwhile, the lamp unit (411) installed in the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention is usually arranged in multiple units on the operating frame (300), but in some cases, only one unit may be installed. In addition, as described above, the lamp unit (411) is usually tubular (double-tube), but may also have a circular shape. Below, a circular lamp unit will be examined together with FIG. 16.
[0145] FIG. 16 is a perspective view and a side view showing a lamp assembly including a circular lamp unit according to one embodiment of the present invention.
[0146] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lamp assembly (400) may correspond to a plate-shaped lamp (410-1) including a circular lamp unit (411-1). In FIG. 16, the plate-shaped lamp (410-1) includes a plurality of 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).
[0147] The above lamp assembly (400) may include a circular lamp unit (411-1) and a filter unit. The filter unit may include a membrane (416) surrounding all of the plurality of lamp units (411-1), and a fluid (414-1) flowing around each of the plurality of lamp units (411-1) between the operating frame (300) and the membrane (416). Here, the fluid (414-1) may correspond to a liquid or a gas.
[0148] Specifically, at least one lamp unit (411-1) is aligned to the working frame (300), and a fluid (414-1) may be positioned around the lamp unit (411-1) to cool the heat of the lamp unit (411-1) and emit only energy (near infrared) having a wavelength of a certain range.
[0149] Additionally, a membrane (416) may be installed on the action frame (300) to induce the fluid (414-1) to flow and prevent it from escaping. As can be seen in Fig. 14(b), a lamp unit (411-1) is installed on the action frame (300), and the fluid (414-1) may be positioned between the action frame (300) and the membrane (416).
[0150] The plate-shaped lamp (410-1) including the circular lamp unit (411-1) also has the same structure as the remaining system (cooling system, etc.), so the description of the common parts will be omitted.

[0152] Meanwhile, the aforementioned action frame (300) is shown as being bent in an L-shape, but is not limited thereto and may be bent in various other shapes.
[0153] As can be seen in Fig. 17, the near-infrared body care device (1000) of the present invention may include an unbent, straight-line operating frame (300). While the shape is different, the device will be functionally identical to the L-shaped, folded form.

[0155] In addition, the aforementioned heat dissipation fan (114) does not necessarily have to be located at the rear, and may be located at the bottom of the support case (100) as shown in FIG. 18. In this case, it may be more advantageous in terms of cooling performance and space utilization.

[0168] The above base body (3100) includes a cooling module for circulating and cooling a refrigerant liquid for cooling the heat generation of the lamp unit (411), and the cooling module is configured to be used by selectively adopting a direct water connection method or a non-direct water connection method.
[0169] The above base body (3100) has front and rear frames (3102) installed on the front and rear sides of 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 the top.
[0170] A rounded groove (3105) is formed on the upper frame (3104) to allow the user to lie down stably. An operation control panel (3106) that can turn on and off near-infrared treatment is installed on one side of the upper frame (3104).

[0173]
[0174] The operation and effect of the near-infrared body care system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are described as follows.
[0175] Sunlight is called radiation, and when arranged in order of wavelength, it consists of infrared, visible light, ultraviolet light, and X-rays, as shown in the figure. The effects of these radiations on the human body are related to the length of the wavelength. According to the simple energy law, E=hv, which was used by Frank, is expressed in this way. h=Frank's constant, v is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength. Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. As v=1 / λ, as the wavelength increases, the frequency decreases. Conversely, as the wavelength decreases, the frequency increases. Therefore, radiation with a wavelength greater than that of visible light has a correspondingly lower energy value and therefore has less effect on the human body. Visible light is the light that allows us to see objects around us, whereas ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays have short wavelengths and emit a lot of energy, which can penetrate deep into the human body and cause harm. For example, ultraviolet rays, due to their short wavelengths, cannot penetrate the skin, so they are primarily used for skin treatments. These ultraviolet rays have wavelengths ranging from 200 to 400 nm. Visible light (400 to 800 nm) has a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays and allows us to distinguish between seven colors, each corresponding to its wavelength. These wavelengths are ubiquitous and completely harmless.
[0176] Infrared rays are further divided into near infrared rays with a wavelength of 0.76 to 1.5 micrometers, mid infrared rays with a wavelength of 1.5 to 5.6 micrometers, and far infrared rays with a wavelength of 5.6 to 1,000 micrometers. Of these, far infrared rays with a wavelength of 6 to 16 micrometers are known to be the most beneficial to our lives. Infrared rays with a wavelength of 0.75 to 3 micrometers are those that lie outside the red end of the spectrum when light emitted from sunlight or a heating source is dispersed into a spectrum, and near infrared rays have the shortest wavelength among them. Infrared rays have considerably longer wavelengths than ultraviolet rays, X-rays, or gamma rays, so they are completely harmless to the human body. Therefore, in recent years, infrared rays have been widely used for industrial and medical purposes because they generally have a stronger thermal effect than visible light or ultraviolet rays.
[0177] Near-infrared rays exhibit photographic, photoelectric, and fluorescent effects in addition to thermal effects, so photographic plates, photocells, photoelectric tubes, thermocouples, and phosphors are used as detectors. They are also used for disinfection, sterilization, and joint and muscle treatment.
[0178] All heat-generating substances emit infrared radiation, and solar radiation is the most important natural source of infrared, accounting for approximately 60% of the sun's radiation. Near-infrared rays have shorter wavelengths, while far-infrared rays have longer wavelengths. Far-infrared rays penetrate the skin approximately 2 m / m, while near-infrared rays penetrate 10 to 40 m / m, activating our vital cells. They can be called the light of life.
[0179] Traditionally, natural treatments utilized sunlight and light. However, modern people find it difficult to connect with nature due to their busy lifestyles, making it difficult to see the benefits of these treatments. In particular, health is deteriorating due to polluted air, water, consumption of instant foods, and stress. People are increasingly seeking natural solutions to treat illness and maintain a healthy lifestyle, and one such approach is near-infrared rays, a natural light source from sunlight.
[0180] When light emitted from sunlight or a heating source is dispersed into a spectrum, the wavelength beyond the red line is infrared, and among these, the electromagnetic wave with the shortest wavelength is near infrared. Generally, wavelengths of 0.75 to 3㎛ are called near infrared (NIR: IRA), 3 to 25㎛ are called infrared (IRB), and 25㎛ or more are called far infrared (FIR: IRC).
[0181] Infrared rays generally possess a thermal effect compared to visible light or ultraviolet rays, making them widely used in medical and industrial applications. They are primarily used for disinfection, sterilization, and joint and muscle treatment. Near-infrared rays, in particular, penetrate up to 6 mm into the subcutaneous layer of the skin, providing excellent heat transfer and generating ATP and nitric oxide, significantly contributing to disease treatment.
[0182] Near-infrared rays are known to have no side effects and are easy to use. In fact, exposure to just 10 minutes of near-infrared light a day can provide skin beautifying, massage, neuralgia prevention, and fatigue relief, contributing to overall health. Furthermore, NIR sunlight is primarily used to treat wounds, burns, scars, and inflammation, as well as bones, joints, and muscles.
[0183] When absorbed into tissues, it triggers the release of nitric oxide (NO) from vascular endothelium and red blood cells. This oxidation and NO increase blood flow to the tissues and alleviate pain. Furthermore, it has been reported to have an excellent effect in supporting antimicrobial activity within the tissues, ultimately promoting rapid wound healing.
[0184] In addition, the near-infrared rays emitted from existing LEDs do not extract enough light to raise the core body temperature in a short period of time, and since the LED itself does not generate heat and only artificially creates near-infrared wavelengths using other components, they cannot be used for active treatment, and are applied for simple skin improvement or muscle care.
[0185] Other existing products that use halogen lamps have the disadvantage of not being able to directly irradiate light to the eyes during near-infrared treatment because they can cause serious problems to the eyes, especially due to blue light and heat radiation. However, the near-infrared body care system of the present invention uses a tungsten lamp and has obtained the IEC6271 photobiological international safety standard from the IEC (Global Safety Certification Agency) as being particularly safe for the eyes and the human body.
[0186] Meanwhile, FIGS. 31 and 32 are drawings explaining the penetration rate of near-infrared rays deep into subcutaneous tissue and the therapeutic effect on various diseases when near-infrared rays are irradiated to the skin during near-infrared treatment in the near-infrared body care system according to the present invention.
[0187] In a near-infrared body care system according to the present invention, a double-tube lamp is provided, which houses a lamp unit that emits infrared rays inside, is formed of a central tube and a light transmission tube with a predetermined gap (gap) on the inner and outer peripheries, and has double-tube caps installed at both ends so that a refrigerant liquid (e.g., water) is filled and flows into the gap between the central tube and the light transmission tube, and a water filter method that is a filtration method using water is adopted, so that among the infrared rays emitted from the lamp unit, far infrared rays and mid-infrared rays 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 can penetrate deep into the subcutaneous tissue, thereby promoting various health effects on the body.
[0188] Referring to Figures 31 and 32, near-infrared rays have a skin penetration rate that is 12 times higher than that of far-infrared rays, and thus can provide heat at a very high intensity to various diseases (e.g., liver, diabetes, blood vessel, skin trouble, cell activation brain disease, etc.) and provide various health effects to the body.
[0189]
[0190] The near-infrared body care system of the present invention has the following effects.
[0191] ① High-frequency cancer treatment and concurrent treatment for various cancer and tumor patients
[0192] ② Treatment of immune-related diseases such as chronic skin diseases and various allergies
[0193] ③ Treatment to improve blood circulation for spinal cord / brain damage, stroke, heart attack, etc.
[0194] ④ Beauty care including detoxification (waste removal), skin and hair care, and diet
[0195] ⑤ Immune and thermal therapy necessary for treating various diseases caused by aging
[0196] ⑥ Treatment of male and female reproductive diseases (prostate, menstrual disorders, etc.)
[0197] ⑦ Treatment for muscle pain, inflammation, joints, and peripheral nerves
[0198] ⑧ Prevention and management of various prenatal and postnatal diseases (edema, depression, obesity, etc.) of pregnant women
[0199] ⑨ Healthcare to prevent various diseases caused by low immunity
