  The present invention relates to a laser slimming apparatus that applies laser light to a body to reduce fat.

Conventionally, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, a laser-type lipolysis system that applies laser light to the body to reduce subcutaneous fat is known. In this system, laser light from a laser light source is guided to a rotating polyhedral mirror by an optical fiber, and the laser light is reflected at a wide angle by a rotating polyhedral mirror, toward a part of the human body (for example, the abdomen). Irradiation is intended to produce a slimming effect, for example by reducing fat in the lower abdomen.
JP 2002-272860 A

  However, the conventional laser lipolysis system irradiates the laser beam in a planar shape on the body abdomen and the like, so that the dotted laser beam from the optical fiber is reflected at a wide angle by the rotating polyhedral mirror and the abdomen and the like. Therefore, many components such as a laser light source, an optical fiber, a polyhedral mirror, a rotating device for the same, a cover for supporting the polyhedral mirror and the rotating device are necessary, and it is avoided that the device is expensive and large. I don't get it. In addition, a cover is installed so as to straddle the user's abdomen, etc., and the user has the disadvantage that the human body is stationary so as not to shift the positional relationship with the polyhedral mirror installed on the cover, and the stationary state is forced for a considerable time. is there.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a laser slimming apparatus that can be configured at low cost without increasing the size of the apparatus, and that the human body is not forced to be stationary, and that laser light can be directly and efficiently irradiated onto the human body. .

Assuming that laser light is emitted from a plurality of the laser diodes and irradiated to a part of the human body in a state where the main body is bent or deformed so as to be in close contact with or very close to a part of the human body as necessary. .

The present invention also has a flexible body that can be elastically curved and deformed along a part of the human body,
A plurality of elements embedded in the main body at predetermined intervals along the direction in which the main body can be deformed, and a plurality of adjacent ones are connected by a flexible connection wiring to allow the main body to be bent and deformed. A substrate of
The plurality of openings are formed on the respective substrates so as to allow bending deformation of the main body, and the main body itself is made transparent through a plurality of openings formed in the main body corresponding to the arrangement positions thereof. A laser diode capable of emitting laser light outwardly from the portion having,
Wiring for supplying power to the plurality of laser beams so that the plurality of laser diodes emit laser beams of a predetermined output,
Assuming that laser light is emitted from a plurality of the laser diodes and irradiated to a part of the human body in a state where the main body is bent or deformed so as to be in close contact with or very close to a part of the human body as necessary. .

  By configuring as described above, it is possible to irradiate a predetermined part of the human body with laser light without requiring a large-scale apparatus and a large number of components as in the past, and as a result, a compact and simple laser slimming An apparatus can be provided. Further, since the laser light is generated by the laser diode and directly irradiated onto the human body, the irradiation efficiency is high. In addition, since the plurality of laser diodes are embedded in the flexible main body through the substrate, the main body is curved and deformed along a predetermined part (for example, the abdomen) of the human body, and all of the plurality of laser diodes are all predetermined. It becomes easy to irradiate the laser from a substantially equal distance by being very close to the part. Due to this bending effect, in the projected area of the main body to the human body, unlike the case where the main body is a flat rigid body, the irradiation pattern of the laser light becomes more uniform to the human body, and the fat reduction action by the laser light is more uniform and more It tends to occur efficiently.

The present invention also includes a setting unit for setting irradiation conditions such as the intensity of the laser beam emitted from the laser diode and the emission time;
A control unit that controls the irradiation pattern of the laser beam according to the irradiation condition set in the setting unit, thereby providing a suitable irradiation pattern according to the degree of accumulation of subcutaneous fat in the human body, the required slimming effect, etc. It is possible to set and control the output of the laser beam so as to meet the conditions.

  According to the present invention, the main body has a longitudinal block shape, and a single unit of the laser diode or a set of laser diodes is arranged at a predetermined interval via the substrate in the longitudinal direction, and at least the longitudinal direction of the main body. The body can be elastically curved and deformed.

  Thus, for example, when laser irradiation is performed with the main body applied to the abdomen of the human body, the longitudinal main body is aligned with the waist direction of the abdomen, curved along the longitudinal direction, and wound around the trunk or a part thereof. Can be irradiated with laser light. Therefore, it is possible to perform laser irradiation over a wide area with one or fewer times compared to the case where a short body (laser irradiation head) made of a rigid body is irradiated with laser by shifting the position with respect to the human body at regular intervals. As a result, the irradiation time is shortened and the irradiation efficiency is improved. In addition, laser irradiation can be performed with one or a smaller number of main bodies, compared to a case where a plurality of rigid short main bodies are simultaneously applied to a human body and laser irradiation is performed, and the irradiation action can be performed more easily.

Further, according to the present invention, the setting unit and the control unit are accommodated in a casing, and the casing includes an operation panel constituting input means in the setting unit, and a display unit for displaying the irradiation condition input by the input means, The cable as the wiring extends from the casing to the main body side and is guided to the main body, and the wiring is connected to the plurality of laser diodes in the main body via a substrate, The curved deformation of the main body is allowed.
At this time, the operation panel and the display unit can be configured as a touch panel that serves as both.

  In this way, by inputting a desired irradiation condition on the operation panel and confirming it on the display unit, an error such as an unexpected pattern of actual laser irradiation on the human body is less likely to occur. In addition, if a touch panel system on the screen is adopted, it is easy to operate and the device can be made compact.

  Further, in the present invention, the single laser diode or a set of the laser diodes are arranged close to each other so as to be surrounded by individual metal heat sinks, so that the heat generated by driving the laser diode is generated by the laser diode. It escapes from the diode to the outside through the heat sink.

  In this case, a plurality of the metal heat radiating plates are arranged in the main body with a predetermined gap therebetween, and a single laser diode or a set corresponding to each of the heat radiating plates corresponds via the substrate. The heat generated in each laser diode is radiated to the outside from the heat radiating plate while allowing the curved deformation of the main body by the gap between adjacent ones of the heat radiating plates. it can.

  In addition, it is possible to insert a single laser diode or a set of the laser diodes into mounting holes or mounting recesses formed in each of the heat sinks.

  The laser diodes are arranged close to the heat sink as described above, for example, by being arranged in a mounting hole or a mounting recess formed in the heat sink so that the laser diode is surrounded by the heat sink. Since the heat generated by driving (light emission) of the laser diode is transmitted to the heat radiating plate and released to the outside through each heat radiating plate, overheating of the laser diode is avoided. As a result, proper operation of the laser diode is ensured, durability is improved and its life is extended, and safety is improved due to heat.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows an entire laser slimming apparatus 1 according to the present invention. A laser irradiation head as a main body connected to a control box 2 and cables 3 and 4 as wirings, specifically a cable. 4 and a long laser head 5 connected to 4 and medium laser heads 6 and 6 connected to a branch cable that is branched in two from the cable 3 in parallel. The long laser head 5 includes a plurality of N laser diodes (hereinafter referred to as laser LEDs) at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the medium laser head 6 has a longitudinal dimension that is, for example, half that of the long laser head 5. The laser head includes a plurality of N / 2 laser LEDs at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction, and each of the laser heads 5 and 6 has a flexibility that can be elastically curved and deformed along the longitudinal direction. Have. A plurality of short laser heads 8 are connected to the control box 2 via a cable 7 and a branch cable branched in parallel from the cable 7, and each short laser head 8 has, for example, one laser LED.

  Since the basic configuration of the long laser head 5 and the medium laser head 6 is the same and only the number of laser LEDs arranged is different, the medium laser head 6 (hereinafter also simply referred to as a laser head) is mainly described below. ) Will be described as an example.

  2 to 3, a laser head 6 as a main body includes a case 12 having a long rectangular block shape, and the case 12 is made of, for example, soft and flexible silicon or urethane (soft rubber or soft resin). In the case 12, a plurality of laser LEDs 10 are embedded at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction via a longitudinal plate (sheet) substrate 20, and each laser LED 10 corresponds to each laser LED 10 in the case 12. The plurality of openings 11 formed at the positions are exposed to the outside. The laser LED 10 is a known diode that outputs laser light having a single wavelength when a voltage is applied. The wavelength of the laser LED 10 is preferably, for example, 500 nm to 700 nm, and particularly about 630 nm.

  The longitudinal plate-like substrate 20 is made of an electrically insulating material that can be curved and deformed at least in its longitudinal direction, and the laser LEDs 10 are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal plate-like substrate 20. ing. On the front surface of the substrate 20 on which the laser LED 10 is mounted or on the back surface on the opposite side, wiring for supplying current to each laser LED 10 is formed as, for example, a well-known printed wiring. Tripolar terminal wires are connected by soldering or other appropriate methods.

  The laser LEDs 10 are embedded on the substrate 20 in the case 12 one by one (or in a plurality of sets (for example, two, three, or four in one set)) at equal intervals. Are disposed so as to be surrounded by a heat sink 13 made of metal (for example, aluminum), and in particular, mounting holes 14 (or mounting recesses or the like) formed in each heat sink 13 are inserted. As a result, heat generated during laser light emission by voltage application to the laser LED 10 is radiated to the outside through the heat radiating plate 13. Each heat radiating plate 13 may be fixed to the surface of the substrate 20 on which the laser LED 10 is mounted by an adhering means such as adhesion, or is not fixed, and is held between two case bodies 16 and 17 when the case 12 described later is assembled. And may be positioned.

  Here, a so-called wiring board for the laser LED 10 is the board 20 (see also FIG. 7), and all the laser LEDs 10 are mounted on the board 20 at once, and the above-mentioned wiring board is printed, etc. Thus, the wiring for driving is connected to each laser LED 10. Moreover, although each heat sink 13 is a metal rigid body, the adjacent thing of these heat sinks 13 does not contact | adhere, but the clearance gap d is set between them. The laser head 6 is shown in FIG. 4 because the case 12 is formed of a soft member such as silicon, the substrate 20 is flexible, and the adjacent gap d of the heat sink 13 is secured. Thus, it is possible to bend and deform along the longitudinal direction of the laser head 6.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the case 12 of the laser head 6 has a two-part structure of a first case body 16 and a second case body 17 in this example, both of which are flexible materials such as silicon rubber or resin. It is formed with. As shown in FIG. 5 (longitudinal sectional view) and FIG. 6 (transverse sectional view), the first case body 16 corresponds to the arrangement interval of the plurality of heat sinks 13, in other words, the arrangement interval of the plurality of laser LEDs 10. A plurality of the openings 11 are formed at regular intervals. On the other hand, the second case body 17 has a simple planar rectangular plate shape in this example, and a substrate mounting recess 22 into which the substrate 20 is fitted is formed on the inner surface for positioning the substrate 20, and the first case body 17 is formed. An outer edge that matches the front form of the case body 16 is provided. The opposite end surfaces of the first and second case bodies 16 and 17 are joined and integrated by bonding or other means to form one case 12.

  2 and 5 show a state in which a plurality of heat radiating plates 13 are arranged so as to have a gap d that is equally spaced and adjacent in the case 12. A laser LED 10 is inserted into each mounting hole 14 formed in each heat radiating plate 13 and, as schematically shown in FIG. 15, one plus-side main wiring 24 branched from the cable 3 and the other minus The side main wiring 25 is routed. Further, the laser LEDs 10 are electrically connected in parallel by the plus side branch wiring 26 and the minus side branch wiring 27. The wiring schematically shown is formed by connection (for example, with soldering) between the printed wiring on the substrate 20 and the terminal wire of each laser LED 10.

  Returning to FIG. 5, FIG. 6, etc., prior to the integration (joining) of the first case body 16 and the second case body 17, the laser LED 10, the substrate 20, the heat sink 13 and the necessary wiring are incorporated, The first case body 16 and the second case body 17 are bonded together by bonding or the like, so that the integrated case 12 in which the laser LED 10, the substrate 20, the heat radiating plate 13, and necessary wirings 24-27 are enclosed. It becomes.

  FIG. 8 to FIG. 12 show another embodiment. In this example, the substrate 20 is replaced with one long plate-like substrate 20 that is divided from each other and arranged in a row with a predetermined gap d. A group of a plurality of substrates 21 is provided. One or one set of laser LEDs 10 is mounted on each of the substrates 21. The case 12 in which the first and second case bodies 16 and 17 are combined is formed of a material such as silicon or other flexible resin as described above, and the group of substrates 21 embedded in the case 12 includes those The adjacent gaps allow elastic bending deformation of the case 12 in the longitudinal direction. Here, each board | substrate 21 may have a softness | flexibility and does not need to have it. That is, it is not the physical property of each substrate 21 itself that allows the above-described curved deformation, but when the case 12 is curved and deformed in the longitudinal direction, the group of the plurality of substrates 21 is positioned on the curved surface along the curved deformation. Because it can be displaced. Therefore, each substrate 21 itself may be made of, for example, a normal hard material (not scheduled to be curved and deformed).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the second case body 17 is formed with a plurality of substrate mounting recesses 22 for arranging the substrates 21 at equal intervals, and each substrate 21 is fitted and positioned in each recess 22. A flexible connection wiring 23 for connecting the plurality of laser LEDs 10 across the substrates 21 is provided, and “sag” is secured in each connection wiring 23. As shown in FIG. 12, when the group of the plurality of substrates 21 changes (displaces) in a curved shape, the curved displacement is allowed or facilitated by the flexibility and “sag” of the connection wiring 23. Has been. A space can be formed in a portion corresponding to the connection wiring 23. The above-described heat sink 13 is integrated with each substrate 21 by adhesion or the like, or is sandwiched between the case bodies 16 and 17, so that the substrate 21 and the heat sink 13 are in contact with each other or arranged in close proximity. In the drawing, the substrate 21 and the heat radiating plate 13 have the same width, but the heat radiating plate 13 may be wider or the substrate 21 may be wider. The connection wiring 23 described above replaces part of the printed wiring on the substrate 20 described above, and the connection wiring 23 and the printed wiring 28 formed on each substrate 21 are electrically connected. As shown in FIG. 12, a predetermined electronic element, for example, a resistor 32 that defines a current value to the laser LED 10 can be disposed on the substrate 21.

  As shown in FIG. 13, two medium-sized laser heads 6 in which a plurality of laser LEDs 10 are arranged at a predetermined interval are prepared in this example, and as shown in FIG. 14, the length is twice as long as this. One long laser head 5 having the same structure is prepared except that it has the following.

  In any of the above two embodiments, as shown in FIG. 16, power is supplied to all the laser LEDs 10 (application of voltage) on the circuit connecting the plus side main wiring 24 and the minus side main wiring 25. ), And a switch 29 that can be switched between an OFF state that interrupts the supply of power to all the laser LEDs 10, and the switch 29 is also in an OFF state on the circuit, for example, in series with the switch 29. It is possible to provide a display unit such as a pilot lamp 30 that is turned off when the switch 29 is turned off and power is supplied to all the laser LEDs 10. Such a switch 29 can be configured as a slide switch 29 as shown in FIG. 17, for example.

  By providing such a switch 29, even when a laser irradiation command is issued from the main switch or touch panel provided in the control box 2, if the switch 29 is turned OFF as shown in FIG. The laser LED 10 such as the laser head 6 is prevented from emitting light, and the inconvenience that the user of the laser head 6 or the like inadvertently hits the laser light of the laser LED 10 with eyes is avoided.

  FIG. 18 shows the short laser head 8 shown in FIG. 1. This laser head 8 has a single laser LED 10 of the above-described medium laser head 6 and a single heat sink 13. It has a single irradiation structure and is suitable for pinpointing against a predetermined part of the human body. The laser head 8 includes a case 31 in which a heat radiating plate 13, a laser LED 10, a substrate 20 (or 21), and a wiring portion similar to those of the medium laser head 6 are enclosed. Although not shown, the case body 31 is a combination of the first case body and the second case body.

  When the case 31 of such a short laser head 8 is made of a bendable material such as flexible silicone rubber or resin, the laser head 8 can be curved as required, while the laser When the case 31 of the head 8 is made of a material having no flexibility such as hard plastic, it cannot be bent. However, in the case of the short laser head 8, it is usually applied locally to a predetermined part of the human body, so that it is not necessary or low to make it flexible and thus bendable. Therefore, the material of the short laser head 8 is not questioned. The short laser head 8 can also be provided with a switch 29 and a pilot lamp 30 as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, so that if it is not desired to emit laser light, the switch 29 is turned off. I can keep it.

  FIG. 19 is a block diagram of an electronic device or element provided in the control box 2 shown in FIG. The control box 2 includes a power supply (power supply circuit) 45, a CPU 46 that is the core of the control unit, a ROM 47 that stores necessary programs, and the driving power (voltage) for the laser LEDs 10 of the above-described three types of laser heads 5, 6, and 8, for example. A charge board (laser drive circuit) 48 for supplying the data, a RAM 49 for temporarily storing the setting input condition data, a monitor 50 for displaying a screen for determining the setting conditions of the laser emission, and the like. A touch panel 51 or the like is provided as means for inputting setting conditions such as laser emission, and a plurality of channel sections 52 are connected to the charge board 48. In this example, a total of four channels C1 to C4 (four for the laser head). Connector). As shown in FIG. 20, among the channels, for example, the cable 3 led to two medium-sized laser heads 6 and 6 is connected to C1, and the cable 4 led to one long laser head 5 is connected to C2. However, for example, a cable 7 led to six short laser heads 8 is connected to C3, and C4 is a spare channel. The charge board 48 is provided with an energization cut-off circuit that simultaneously cuts off the energization when the current value (all current values in the case of a plurality of currents) to the laser LED 10 exceeds a threshold value. However, when the energization amount (current value) increases due to heat generation or the like, the output of the laser light also increases. However, in order to ensure safety to the human body, the energization to the laser LED 10 can be interrupted at that time.

  Then, by using the monitor 50 and the touch panel 51 shown in FIG. 19, the irradiation pattern of the laser light emitted from the laser LEDs 10 of the laser heads 5, 6 and 8 can be set as appropriate. For example, if the duration of each irradiation from the start to the end of laser light irradiation is set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc., or if laser light emission is intermittently turned ON / OFF, turn it ON -Increase or decrease the OFF cycle, increase or decrease the ratio of ON time to OFF time (for example, ON time / 1 cycle: duty ratio), or increase or decrease the voltage to the laser LED 10 If the laser beam output is adjusted by selecting the above, or if such setting / selection input is performed by the touch panel 51 as necessary, the setting / selection data is temporarily stored in the RAM 49. The CPU 46 reads the data and activates the program of the ROM 47, and in accordance with the set / selected conditions, the laser LED 10 of any one of the laser heads 5, 6 and 8 lasers to a predetermined part of the human body with a predetermined irradiation pattern. Irradiate light.

  Next, some examples of usage patterns using the laser heads 5, 6, 8, etc. will be described with reference to FIGS.

  21, 22, and 23 show that the long laser head 5 is wound around the abdomen of the human body while being bent along the abdominal trunk (for example, a user who receives laser irradiation uses a long laser head with both hands). For example, the laser beam emitted from the plurality of laser LEDs 10 of the laser head 5 is irradiated in a considerably wide range in the circumferential direction of the abdomen B (for example, abdomen half circumference). It has been confirmed that, by this laser light irradiation, subcutaneous fat in the abdomen is reduced and a slimming effect is obtained. The reason for this cannot be determined, but it is presumed that the phenomenon that the subcutaneous fat is liquefied by laser light occurs, and the increased fluidity is discharged into the body through lymphatic lines. In particular, since this long laser head 5 is curved and touches the abdomen or is in close proximity, and a plurality of laser LEDs 10 are almost evenly approached to the abdomen, laser irradiation is performed over a wide range at a time. Irradiation efficiency and uniformity of irradiation are improved.

  In FIG. 24, instead of one long laser head 5, two medium-sized laser heads 6 are curved along the abdomen, the two abutments are wrapped around the abdomen, and laser irradiation is performed in that state. It shows the case of doing.

  FIGS. 25 to 27 show an example in which, for example, the long laser head 5 or the like curved so as to surround the abdomen is held in a curved state by a holding belt 56 attached from the outside. As shown in FIG. 26, the holding belt 56 is preferably a stretchable belt stretchable portion 57, a crimping fastener holding portion 58 in a predetermined length range, and a crimping for adjusting the belt length fixed thereto. A holding belt 56 that includes a fastener main body 59 and a crimping fastener attaching / detaching portion 60 that is crimped at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the crimping fastener main body 59 so as to obtain a necessary belt length, and tightens the abdomen from the outside. The curved long laser head 5 shown in FIG. 25 (or two curved medium laser heads 6 shown in FIG. 27) is held between the belt itself and the abdominal surface in a fixed state. If this holding belt 56 is used, the laser heads 5 and 6 that are curved need not be held by the user's hand, so that laser irradiation can be easily performed. The holding belt 56 may not be stretchable.

  In FIG. 28, the medium-sized laser head 6 is applied to the thighs of both legs of the human body (when the medium-sized laser head 6 is applied along the longitudinal direction of the thigh, there is almost no need to curve the laser head 6). ) The holding belt 56 is wound around the thigh from above each laser head 6, and laser irradiation is performed while holding each laser head 6. Further, the short laser head 8 is applied to the crotch on both sides (site where lymphatics are gathered), and laser irradiation is performed locally. In this case, each short laser head 8 can be held by the pants 61 inside the paper pants 61, for example.

  In this manner, by adding laser irradiation to a site where lymphatics such as the crotch gather, the effect of absorbing the liquefied and fluidized fat as described above from the lymphatics and discharging it to the outside of the body is enhanced.

  Note that examples of the site of laser irradiation locally with the short laser head 8 include, for example, the above-mentioned crotch shown in FIG. 29, the lymphatic vicinity of the upper part of the clavicle on both sides shown in FIG. 30, and the like shown in FIG. The lower part of the face (the lower part of the cheek). The example of FIG. 31 is an example in which fat in the vicinity of the jaw is to be reduced in order to draw a line of the jaw.
