Problems solved by technology

Manual operation is greatly affected by the doctor's experience, usually requires multi-stage treatment to ensure the therapeutic effect, and because of the two-handed operation, the process is cumbersome and difficult
In the process of pressing the patient's eyelid conjunctiva, the conjunctiva is easily damaged due to uneven pressing, causing the patient's discomfort after massage

Embodiment

[0029] Such as figure 1 As shown, the intermittent massage mechanism for eyelid gland massage of the present invention includes an upper massage roller 11 and a lower massage roller 12, and the upper massage roller 11 and the lower massage roller 12 are semi-cylindrical semicircular rollers. The phase difference of the arc surfaces of the semi-cylindrical upper massage roller 11 and the lower massage roller 12 is 180 degrees, and they rotate in opposite directions. When the upper meibomian glands are massaged, the lower meibomian glands are not massaged; when the lower meibomian glands are massaged, the upper meibomian glands have no effect. That is, there is a 180-degree phase difference between the pressing action of the massage rollers on the upper and lower meibomian glands, so that the massage time for the upper and lower eyelids is independent, so that the upper and lower eyelids will not be rolled to the middle and squeezed, so that the obstruction in the meibomian glan...

Abstract

The invention relates to an intermittent massage mechanism used for eye meibomian gland massage. Two message rollers are included, wherein each massage roller is a semicircular roller, and the phase difference exists between the massage rollers. The intermittent massage mechanism has the advantages that the intermittent massage mechanism is not influenced by experience of a doctor and is easy and convenient to operate, and treatment can be conducted on a patient at home; the intermittent massage mechanism is even in pressing, injuries to the conjuctiva can not be caused, and the discomfort produced after massage is conducted on the patient is avoided; the massage difficulty is low, the efficiency is high, and safety and the comfort degree are improved; the defect that a non-anti-phase intermittent massage mechanism may enable the upper eyelids and the lower eyelids to be squeezed toward the middle portion to cause discomfort can be effectively overcome through the anti-phase message mechanism, and obstructions in the eye meibomian gland can be smoothly extruded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a medical device, more specifically, to an intermittent massage mechanism for eyelid gland massage. Background technique [0002] Meibomian gland dysfunction is a common chronic disease in ophthalmology, and the main cause of this disease is the obstruction of the opening of meibomian glands. The commonly used clinical treatment for meibomian gland dysfunction is to combine hot compress, meibomian gland massage and the use of various drugs to remove the blocked secretions in the meibomian glands, so as to relieve the symptoms of eye discomfort of patients. [0003] At present, the commonly used artificial meibomian gland massage method is that the doctor needs one hand to make the eyelid evert, and the other hand rubs the meibomian gland with a sterile saline cotton swab. Manual operation is greatly influenced by the doctor's experience, usually requires multi-stage treatment to ensure the therapeutic effect, and because of th...
