Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ophthalmic medical device technology, specifically to an eye atomization therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] Eye inflammation is an inflammatory response of the eye caused by infection or irritation. Common types include conjunctivitis, keratitis, iritis, and uveitis. Typical symptoms include pain, decreased vision, redness of the eyes, and increased tearing. Treatment usually depends on the specific type of inflammation and may involve the use of antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or steroid eye drops. To prevent eye inflammation, keeping the eyes clean and avoiding prolonged contact lens wear are effective measures. An eye nebulizer is a medical device used to treat eye diseases, utilizing nebulization technology to deliver medication to the eye in the form of fine mist particles.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication CN218391415U discloses an eye treatment device with atomization function. The device features a front cover with an atomization chamber hinged to a face shell. A first magnetic ring is installed inside a first waterproof silicone ring on the side edge of the front cover, and a second magnetic ring is installed inside a second waterproof silicone ring on the side edge of the face shell. The first and second waterproof silicone rings are fitted together, and the second and first magnetic rings attract each other. During daily atomization, the front cover and face shell do not leak liquid. When cleaning the atomization chamber is required, the front cover and face shell can be opened for cleaning, reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0004] By installing an atomizing chamber on the side of the front cover, one or more atomizing nozzles are installed in the second annular groove on the surface of the atomizing chamber, one or more first drainage holes are installed on the surface of the atomizing chamber, and one or more waste liquid collection boxes are installed on the lower surface of the front cover. The surface of the waste liquid collection box is provided with second inlet and outlet drainage holes, and the first drainage holes and the second inlet and outlet drainage holes are arranged opposite to each other, so as to collect the atomized waste liquid and prevent the waste liquid in the atomizing chamber from spilling out when the front cover and the front shell are opened.

[0005] In practical applications, it has been found that prolonged exposure of the eyes to nebulized medication requires the eyes to continuously adapt to the nebulized environment and the stimulation of the medication. The muscles around the eyes are in a state of tension for a long time, and prolonged nebulization may lead to eye muscle fatigue.

[0006] Furthermore, while the aforementioned patents can collect the waste liquid after atomization, the atomized particles may condense into larger droplets after cooling on the ocular surface, forming a phenomenon similar to sweat beads. These droplets remaining in the eye may cause a foreign body sensation, further increasing discomfort. At lower temperatures, the viscosity of the medication may increase, affecting the atomization effect. Low-temperature atomization of the medication can also cause significant eye discomfort. Therefore, we provide an ocular atomization therapy device to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an eye atomization therapy device that can massage the eyes, relieve muscle fatigue, reduce discomfort caused by prolonged exposure of the eyes to atomized medication, and heat the un-atomized medication to promptly treat condensed droplets in the eyes.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an eye atomization therapy device, comprising a housing, the housing comprising an outer shell, the opening portion of the outer shell being provided with an upper arc-shaped portion and a lower fitting portion.

[0009] The outer casing is equipped with a waste liquid collection assembly, which includes a guide plate fixed to the outer casing. A flow channel is provided on the guide plate. The bottom of the outer casing is connected to a collection shell, and the bottom of the collection shell is connected to a drain pipe. A first valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0010] An atomizing mechanism is provided between the outer shell and the steam heating mechanism. The atomizing mechanism includes a medicine storage tank fixed inside the outer shell. An ultrasonic atomizer is installed inside the medicine storage tank. A protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the medicine storage tank. A mist delivery pipe and a dosing assembly are connected to the top of the medicine storage tank. The mist delivery pipe is connected to the goggle assembly through an installation assembly. The dosing assembly includes a dosing pipe connected to the top of the medicine storage tank. A dosing hopper is connected to the upper end of the medicine storage tank. A second valve is installed on the dosing pipe.

[0011] A steam heating mechanism is provided on the outer shell and the massage mechanism. The steam heating mechanism includes a small steam generator fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell. The output end of the small steam generator is connected to an input pipe. The output end of the input pipe is connected to a mounting shell. The output end of the mounting shell is connected to an output pipe. The output end of the output pipe is connected to a connecting pipe. The output end of the connecting pipe is connected to a heating pipe, and the heating pipe is wound around the atomizing mechanism.

[0012] The output end of the heating tube is equipped with a vapor recovery assembly. Specifically, the vapor recovery assembly includes a liquid storage tank fixed to the outer shell. The vapor recovery assembly also includes a condenser connected to the output end of the heating tube. The output end of the condenser is connected to the liquid storage tank. A pressure regulating valve is installed on the liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is connected to the input end of a small steam generator through a pipeline.

[0013] The outer shell is equipped with a massage mechanism, which includes a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes an irregularly shaped shell and a vent hole. The vent hole is located on the side of the irregularly shaped shell. The mist delivery pipe is connected to the irregularly shaped shell. A guide post is rotatably connected to the mounting assembly, and a guide groove is provided on the guide post. A connecting rod is fixed on the guide post, and a turbine is fixed on the connecting rod. The turbine is located inside the mounting shell.

[0014] The massage mechanism also includes an eye mask assembly, which includes an eye mask shell, a silicone pad, an eye-shaped hollow ring, and a swing hole. The eye mask shell is fixed to the silicone pad, and the eye-shaped hollow ring is fixed to the eye mask shell. The swing hole is formed on the eye mask shell and the eye-shaped hollow ring. A swing rod is rotatably connected inside the swing hole, and the swing rod contacts the guide groove on the guide column. An elastic massage component is fixed to the right end of the swing rod.

[0015] Specifically, the elastic massage component includes a massage block, a slide rod is snapped onto the massage block, an elastic element is fixed on the slide rod, the elastic element is fixed to the swing rod, the elastic element is a spring, and the massage block is made of silicone.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this eye atomization therapy device has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] I. This invention generates steam by starting a small steam generator. The steam is transported through an input pipe, mounting shell, output pipe, connecting pipe, and heating pipe. Finally, after being cooled by a condenser, the steam becomes liquid again and enters the storage tank. The heating pipe can heat the un-atomized medicine liquid inside the medicine tank, thus solving the problem that the viscosity increases due to the low temperature, which affects the atomization effect of the ultrasonic atomizer.

[0018] Second, the steam generated by the small steam generator in this invention will also drive the turbine to rotate. The turbine will drive the connecting rod and guide column to rotate on the mounting assembly. Since the swing rod slides in contact with the guide groove on the guide column, the rotation of the guide column will cause the swing rod to swing. Therefore, the swing rod will drive the massage block, slide rod and elastic element to swing. The up and down swinging massage block can massage the eyes, relieve muscle fatigue and reduce the discomfort of prolonged exposure of the eyes to the atomized medicine.

[0019] Third, the present invention uses a massage block that swings up and down to wipe away the droplets that have condensed in the eyes. The droplets will fall onto the guide plate, and the guide plate and the guide channel can guide the droplets to flow into the inside of the collection shell. When cleaning is needed, the first valve can be opened to discharge the waste liquid inside the collection shell, thus treating the droplets that have condensed in the eyes in a timely manner.

[0020] Other advantages, objectives and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination or study, or may be learned from the practice of the invention.

[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Please see Figure 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: an eye atomizing therapy device, including a housing 1, the housing 1 including an outer shell 101, the opening portion of the outer shell 101 is provided with an upper arc-shaped portion 102 and a lower fitting portion 103, the upper arc-shaped portion 102 and the lower fitting portion 103 can fit in close contact with the user's eyes, providing a comfortable wearing experience and effectively reducing the leakage of atomized medicine. Furthermore, a flexible sealing gasket is provided on the upper arc-shaped portion 102 and the lower fitting portion 103, which can not only improve comfort, but also further improve the sealing effect.

[0042] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2The outer casing 101 is equipped with a waste liquid collection assembly 4. The waste liquid collection assembly 4 includes a guide plate 401 fixed to the outer casing 101. A guide groove 402 is provided on the guide plate 401. The bottom of the outer casing 101 is connected to a collection shell 403. The bottom of the collection shell 403 is connected to a drain pipe 404. A first valve 405 is installed on the drain pipe 404. The outer contour of the guide plate 401 is trapezoidal. The side of the guide plate 401 near the opening of the outer casing 101 is higher, and the side of the guide plate 401 near the collection shell 403 is lower. Therefore, the dripping liquid falling on the guide plate 401 will flow to the collection shell 403 under the action of gravity. The waste liquid can be collected in a concentrated manner through the collection shell 403. When the first valve 405 is opened, the waste liquid will be discharged from the drain pipe 404.

[0043] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An atomizing mechanism 5 is provided between the outer shell 101 and the steam heating mechanism 3. The atomizing mechanism 5 includes a medicine storage tank 501 fixed inside the outer shell 101. An ultrasonic atomizer 502 is installed inside the medicine storage tank 501. The ultrasonic atomizer 502 uses the high-frequency oscillation of ultrasound to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. When the ultrasound acts on the liquid medicine, the surface tension of the liquid is broken, and the liquid medicine is stretched into tiny particles, thereby achieving atomization.

[0044] The outer side of the medicine storage tank 501 is covered with a protective sleeve 505. The protective sleeve 505 serves to limit the heat transfer from the heating tube 306 to the medicine storage tank 501, preventing the heating tube 306 from heating the medicine storage tank 501 to an excessively high temperature. The top of the medicine storage tank 501 is connected to a mist delivery pipe 503 and a dosing assembly 504. The atomized medicine will be output from the mist delivery pipe 503. The mist delivery pipe 503 is connected to the goggles assembly 205 through the mounting assembly 201. The dosing assembly 504 includes a dosing pipe 5041 connected to the top of the medicine storage tank 501. The upper end of the medicine storage tank 501 is connected to a dosing hopper 5043. A second valve 5042 is installed on the dosing pipe 5041. The medicine can be easily added into the medicine storage tank 501 through the dosing hopper 5043. The second valve 5042 needs to be closed when in use.

[0045] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 12A steam heating mechanism 3 is provided on the outer shell 101 and the massage mechanism 2. The steam heating mechanism 3 includes a small steam generator 301 fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 101. The output end of the small steam generator 301 is connected to an input pipe 302. The output end of the input pipe 302 is connected to a mounting shell 303. The output end of the mounting shell 303 is connected to an output pipe 304. The output end of the output pipe 304 is connected to a connecting pipe 305. The output end of the connecting pipe 305 is connected to a heating pipe 306. The heating pipe 306 is wound around the atomizing mechanism 5. The heating pipe 306 is heated by the steam inside the heating pipe 306. The heating pipe 306 can heat the protective sleeve 505, and then heat the medicine tank 501 and the medicine liquid inside the medicine tank 501 through the protective sleeve 505.

[0046] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 12 The output end of the heating tube 306 is equipped with a steam recovery assembly 6. Specifically, the steam recovery assembly 6 includes a liquid storage tank 601 fixed to the outer shell 101. The steam recovery assembly 6 also includes a condenser 602 connected to the output end of the heating tube 306. The output end of the condenser 602 is connected to the liquid storage tank 601. A pressure regulating valve 603 is installed on the liquid storage tank 601. The liquid storage tank 601 is connected to the input end of the small steam generator 301 through a pipe. The condenser 602 can condense the steam delivered to the condenser 602 by the heating tube 306. The condensate will be delivered to the inside of the liquid storage tank 601 as the water source of the small steam generator 301. The pressure regulating valve 603 can regulate the pressure inside the liquid storage tank 601.

[0047] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 3 to 11 The outer casing 101 is equipped with a massage mechanism 2. The massage mechanism 2 includes a mounting component 201. The mounting component 201 includes an irregular shell 2011 and a vent 2012. The vent 2012 is opened on the side of the irregular shell 2011. The mist delivery pipe 503 is connected to the irregular shell 2011. A guide post 202 is rotatably connected to the mounting component 201. A guide groove is opened on the guide post 202. A connecting rod 203 is fixed on the guide post 202. A turbine 204 is fixed on the connecting rod 203. The turbine 204 is located inside the mounting casing 303.

[0048] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 5 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The massage mechanism 2 also includes an eye mask assembly 205, which includes an eye mask shell 2051, a silicone pad 2052, an eye-shaped hollow ring 2053, and a swing hole 2054. The eye mask shell 2051 is fixed to the silicone pad 2052, and the eye-shaped hollow ring 2053 is fixed to the eye mask shell 2051. The swing hole 2054 is formed on the eye mask shell 2051 and the eye-shaped hollow ring 2053. A swing rod 206 is rotatably connected inside the swing hole 2054, and the swing rod 206 contacts the guide groove on the guide post 202. An elastic massage component 207 is fixed to the right end of the swing rod 206. When the guide post 202 moves up and down, the guide post 202 will drive the swing rod 206 to swing through the guide groove on the guide post 202, and the other end of the swing rod 206 will move synchronously.

[0049] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 11 Specifically, the elastic massage component 207 includes a massage block 2071, a slide rod 2072 is snapped onto the massage block 2071, an elastic element 2073 is fixed on the slide rod 2072, the elastic element 2073 is fixed to the swing rod 206, the elastic element 2073 is a spring, and the massage block 2071 is made of silicone. Through the elasticity of the elastic element 2073 and the massage block 2071, the pain that may be caused by hard massagers can be avoided.

[0050] Working principle: When in use, the ultrasonic atomizer 502, the small steam generator 301, and the condenser 602 are activated. The activation of the ultrasonic atomizer 502 will atomize the liquid medicine inside the medicine tank 501 and output it through the mist delivery pipe 503. The activation of the small steam generator 301 will generate steam, which will be transported sequentially through the input pipe 302, the mounting shell 303, the output pipe 304, the connecting pipe 305, and the heating pipe 306. Finally, after being cooled by the condenser 602, the steam becomes liquid again and enters the liquid tank 601. During the above process, since the heating pipe 306 is wrapped around the protective sleeve 505, the heating pipe 306 can heat the liquid medicine inside the medicine tank 501 that has not yet been atomized, so as to solve the problem that the viscosity will increase due to the low temperature, which will affect the atomization effect of the ultrasonic atomizer 502.

[0051] The activation of the small steam generator 301 will turn the water inside the liquid storage tank 601 into steam. The steam generated by the small steam generator 301 will also drive the turbine 204 to rotate. The turbine 204 will drive the connecting rod 203 and the guide column 202 to rotate on the mounting assembly 201. Since the swing rod 206 slides in contact with the guide groove on the guide column 202, the rotation of the guide column 202 will cause the swing rod 206 to swing. Therefore, the swing rod 206 will drive the massage block 2071, the slide rod 2072, and the elastic element 2073 to swing. The up-and-down swinging massage block 2071 can massage the eyes, relieve muscle fatigue, and reduce the discomfort of prolonged exposure of the eyes to the nebulized medicine.

[0052] When condensation occurs, the massage block 2071, which can swing up and down, can wipe away the condensation in the eyes. The condensation will fall onto the guide plate 401. The guide plate 401 and the guide channel 402 work together to guide the condensation, so that the condensation flows into the collection shell 403 along the guide channel 402. When cleaning is needed, the first valve 405 can be opened to discharge the waste liquid inside the collection shell 403, thus timely treating the condensation in the eyes.

[0053] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
