1 is a block diagram of a rhinitis treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may include a first light source 110, a second light source 120, a magnetic field generator 130, a controller 140, and a user input unit ( 150). However, in some embodiments of the present invention, the rhinitis treatment device 100 may be configured differently from FIG. 1. For example, the rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 may further include a plurality of lights and a plurality of magnetic field generators.

The first light source 110 may irradiate the nasal cavity of the user with the first light having the first wavelength. For example, the first light source may be set to blue light, and the first wavelength may be set to a wavelength of 415 nm. As another example, the first wavelength of the first light may be selected within the range of 200 nm to 400 nm. Blue light has a bactericidal effect that oxidizes the phospholipids and proteins that make up the nasal cell membranes and prevents bacteria from prolonging their life.

The second light source 120 may irradiate the nasal cavity of the user with the second light having the second wavelength. For example, the second light source may be set to red light, and the second wavelength may be set to a wavelength of 650 nm. As another example, the second wavelength of the second light may be selected within the range of 630 nm to 1000 nm, preferably 630 nm to 670 nm. Red light activates the function of intranasal cells and has the effect of restoring trauma, relieving damaged optical nerve deterioration, ischemic wound recovery and strong anti-inflammatory effects.

The first light source 110 and the second light source 120 may alternately irradiate the first light and the second light according to a preset period. For example, after the first light source 110 irradiates the nasal cavity of the user with the first light for 30 seconds, when the irradiation of the first light is completed, the second light source 120 transmits the second light to the nasal cavity of the user for 30 seconds.

Sites where inflammation occurs in the nasal cavity are surrounded by bones, making physical treatment difficult. However, the magnetic field generator 130 may generate a magnetic field having a property of penetrating the medium toward the nasal cavity. Thus, intranasal inflammation can be effectively treated.

For example, the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator 130 may be pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs). The magnetic field boosts the blood flow in the human body and facilitates the metabolism that combines oxygen and nutrients in the blood and transports them to each tissue and organ. In addition, the magnetic field can promote blood circulation to quickly remove the waste in the body to prevent the disease. In addition, the magnetic field promotes the ionic effect to normalize blood circulation, increase the oxygen efficiency to convert the characteristics of body fluids into healthy alkaline body fluids. When the human body is supplied to the human body, the effect of iron on the red blood cells, red blood cells are released, and the action of blood can be activated.

For example, the controller 140 may generate a control signal for operating the magnetic field generator 130 together while at least one of the first light source 110 and the second light source 120 is operating. . For another example, the controller 140 may generate a control signal for alternately operating the first light source 110 and the second light source 120 according to a specific period. In another example, the controller 140 may generate a control signal such that the magnetic field generator 130 generates a first magnetic field corresponding to the first light source 110 when the first light source 110 operates. Can be. In addition, the controller 140 may generate a control signal such that when the second light source 120 operates, the magnetic field generator 130 generates a second magnetic field corresponding to the second light source 120. In this case, the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field may have any one of different generation times, types, or sizes, and the types may include a monophasic type and a biphasic type.

The controller 140 may adjust the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field generator 130 based on a user input for selecting the magnetic field strength of the magnetic field generator 130 received from the user input unit 150 to be described later. For example, the strength of the magnetic field can be adjusted within the range of 100-300 Gauss. The controller 140 may generate an electrical signal or a control signal for controlling the operation of the magnetic field generator 130 in response to the user input received through the user input unit 150.

In addition, the controller 140 may include at least one of the first light source 110 and the second light source 120 based on a user input for selecting an operation time of the rhinitis treatment apparatus 100 received from the user input unit 150 to be described later.
