Rhinitis therapeutic device and method for controlling rhinitis therapeutic device

Abstract

The present invention relates to a rhinitis therapeutic device comprising a main body and a pair of insertion rods. The present invention also provides a rhinitis therapeutic device for preventing a light source from radiating during use irrespective of the intent of a user, and a method for controlling same. A detection light source and a light receiving part facing each other are installed on inner surfaces of the insertion rods of the rhinitis therapeutic device. The detection light source emits light when power is supplied. Preferably, the intensity of the detection light source is low enough that there is almost no concern of eye damage. The light of the detection light source is detected in the light receiving part, and when the rhinitis therapeutic device is inserted into the nose,the light of the detection light source is blocked by the nasal septum. One or more therapeutic light sources formed on the pair of the insertion rods are controlled to emit light when the light quantity detected in the light receiving part is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold light quantity, or to emit light when a predetermined reference time elapses after power is supplied. Therefore, the probability of eye damage due to the light source of the rhinitis therapeutic device may be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a rhinitis treatment instrument, more particularly to a rhinitis treatment instrument utilizing light and a control method of the rhinitis treatment instrument. Background technique [0002] Due to environmental factors such as increased particulate matter, the number of patients with rhinitis is increasing. Various methods have been proposed for the treatment of rhinitis, and one of these treatment methods utilizes light. As rhinitis treatment devices using light, there are Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0987729 "Rhinitis Treatment Device Utilizing Light-Emitting Diodes", Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2014-0087195 "A Control Application for Treating Rhinitis and Using It Android operating system-based portable communication terminal" and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0977985 "Multi-wavelength Laser Irradiation Apparatus for Treating Rhinitis", etc. [0003] These rhinitis treatment instruments are all used ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, since the nose is very close to the eyes, if the light irradiated for the treatment of rhinitis directly hits the eyes, there is a danger of damaging the eyes

In addition, in the process of controlling the rhinitis treatment device, when the power supply of the light is operated so that the light directly shines on the eyes without being inserted into the nose, it may damage the eyes.
