Description

A heat compressor using the heat of an LED The present invention relates to a thermal compress using the heat generated by an LED, and more specifically, to a thermal compress using the heat generated by an LED that uses an infrared LED (Light Emitting Diode) as a heat source and enables compress and moxibustion on an affected area through the warm heat generated from the heat source. Generally, when abnormal symptoms such as persistent stiffness or pain in a body part occur without a clear and serious diagnosis, physical therapy using electrical stimulation or acupuncture, moxibustion, or heat therapy is received. In particular, thermotherapy utilizes warm heat to promote blood circulation and metabolism within the body, eliminates nerve and muscle fatigue, enhances therapeutic effects such as muscle tension relief and pain relief, and can improve immunity. Meanwhile, students, office workers, or drivers who study or work for long periods while sitting in a chair often experience tension pain as the muscles surrounding the left and right shoulder blades and the muscles in the neck area between the left and right shoulder blades become tight. Additionally, athletes who use their elbows extensively, such as tennis players, or athletes in various sports that use their knee joints extensively, including basketball and soccer, frequently complain of pain due to inflammation in the joints of the knees or ankles or damage to the ligaments. As it has become known that thermotherapy is effective in alleviating and treating such various symptoms, various types of thermotherapy devices have recently been developed to relieve and treat pain in the affected area and to improve immunity by promoting the body's metabolism. As a conventional thermal therapy device, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0679179 heats a heating rod or heating wire with power supplied through a power supply unit, and when the heat generated from the heating rod or heating wire is stored by an insulating material and a main body, and the upper and lower surfaces of the main body are brought into contact with the body, heat is conducted to the affected area of the body, thereby enabling the expectation of thermal compress and massage effects. However, such conventional heat therapy devices pose a risk of burns during use and have the problem of being inconvenient to use in contact with the body, as heating rods or heating wires are heated by electric current. In addition, in addition to the heat therapy devices using the aforementioned heating rods or heating wires, there are cases where heat packs filled with hot water are used for heat therapy. However, in this case, hot water must be refilled every time it is used, and as time passes, the water inside the pack cools down, so continuous therapeutic effects cannot be expected.
