Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of contact lens packaging, and particularly relates to a packaging method for recycling contact lens shell membranes and a contact lens product. Background Art
[0002] Soft contact lens lenses are usually formed by injecting glue and curing in male and female shell membranes. Due to the extremely high precision requirements of the lenses, the shell membranes are disposable consumables. If one wants to reuse the discarded shell membranes, the traditional waste recycling method is to crush the used shell membranes into powders, and then use other processes such as thermoplastic molding, compression molding, or injection molding to mold the powders into other items. This recycling process is relatively cumbersome, and the dust generated during the process needs to be removed through dust removal facilities, resulting in relatively high reprocessing costs.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Document No. 202280089919.5 discloses an airtight sealed blister package for contact lenses. The blister package includes a base member (100) made of a plastic material and a sealing member (103) joined to the base member to form a blister cavity arranged to hold an unworn contact lens and a contact lens packaging solution. The base member (100) has an upper surface (130) and a lower surface (132) and includes a blister well (104) and a handle (106). The blister well (104) has a periphery (101). The blister well (104) is enclosed by a sealing area (102) on the upper surface (130) of the base member (100). The handle (106) and the sealing area (102) are provided by flanges extending from the blister well (104). The base member (100) has a weight of 0.72 g or less.

Open the male shell film 2 and take out the shaped lens for the hydration process; The contact lens hydration process refers to the process of soaking the made contact lens in a solution and assisted by heating to make it fully absorb water and become a soft contact lens suitable for human eyes to wear. This process belongs to the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0032] S3. Keep the support shell film 8 in the male shell film 2 and the female shell film 1, put the support shell film 8 into a compression molding device for hot compression molding and flaring, so that a receiving cup 8d is formed on the support shell film 8; S4. Inject the buffer solution into the receiving cup 8d, then place the lens in the buffer solution in the receiving cup 8d, seal a protective film on the opening of the receiving cup 8d, and perform sterilization and packaging as a whole to complete the complete contact lens product.
[0033] Preferably, when the female shell film 1 is the support type shell film 8, the female shell film 1 has a support platform 8a. The support platform 8a is recessed downward from the top surface to form a concave cavity 1a. A sealing convex edge 3 is arranged around the top surface of the support platform 8a for the concave cavity 1a, and support brackets are arranged on the bottom surface of the support platform 8a. The male shell film 2 is a matching type shell film. A closed edge 4 is arranged around the circumference of the lower convex die wall 2a. The lower convex die wall 2a is embedded into the concave cavity 1a, so that the closed edge 4 is pressed against the sealing convex edge 3 to form a mold closing seal.
[0034] The concave cavity 1a of the female shell film 1 is a spherical structure, and the top surface of the concave cavity 1a is the bottom surface of the lens cavity. The lower convex die wall 2a of the male shell film 2 is a spherical structure, and the bottom surface of the lower convex die wall 2a is the top surface of the lens cavity. Relatively speaking, the concave cavity 1a has a large curvature and a small radius, while the lower convex die wall 2a has a small curvature and a large radius. After mold closing, a hemispherical gap is formed between the two, thereby determining the shape of the contact lens.
[0035] As Figure 3 shown, preferably, the compression molding device includes an upper mold 9 and a lower mold 12 that cooperate up and down. The top surface of the lower mold 12 is recessed to form a flared female mold core 13. The lower mold 12 is provided with a pushing mechanism below the flared female mold core 13. The bottom surface of the upper mold 9 is convexly provided with a flared male mold core 10. The upper mold 9 is provided with a heating block 11 above the flared male mold core 10.

[0036] Place the support type shell film 8 on the flared female mold core 13 for fixation. Lower the upper mold 9 so that the flared male mold core 10 presses against the support type shell film 8. At the same time, heat through the heating block 11 to thermoplastically flare the spherical shell structure of the support type shell film 8 into a receiving cup 8d structure.

The support bracket of the support type shell film 8 includes an inclined plate 8b on one side. Place the support type shell film 8 on the flared female mold core 13. The lower surface of the inclined plate 8b fits against the downward inclined positioning surface 12a. After the upper mold 9 is pressed, the upward inclined positioning surface 9a fits against the upper surface of the inclined plate 8b, thereby clamping and fixing the inclined plate 8b.
[0038] Preferably, a positioning groove 12b is recessed on the top surface of the lower mold 12. The support bracket of the support type shell film 8 includes at least one vertical plate 8c. Place the support type shell film 8 on the flared female mold core 13, and the vertical plate 8c is correspondingly inserted into the positioning groove 12b to form a fixation.
[0039] Preferably, the pushing mechanism includes a lifting cylinder which has an upward telescopic rod 14. A flat plate 15 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the telescopic rod 14.

The lifting stroke of the telescopic rod 14 and the flat plate 15 is provided by the telescopic cavity. When hot compression molding operation is carried out, the lifting cylinder drives the flat plate 15 and the pushing rods 16 to descend, so that the pushing rods 16 are located below the flaring female mold core 13. When demolding operation is needed, the lifting cylinder drives the flat plate 15 and the pushing rods 16 to rise, so that the pushing rods 16 enter the flaring female mold core 13 to eject the support shell film 8.
[0041] As Figure 3 shown, preferably, the hot compression molding and flaring steps of the compression molding device are as follows: A1. Place the support shell film 8 on the flaring female mold core 13 of the lower mold 12. A part of the support stand is attached to the downward inclined positioning surface 12a, and another part of the support stand is inserted into the positioning groove 12b to form a fixation; A2.

Expand the spherical shell radius on the support shell film 8 to form a receiving cup 8d. Drive the upper mold 9 to lift to release the support shell film 8. The lifting cylinder drives the flat plate 15 and the pushing rods 16 to rise, so that the pushing rods 16 pass through the pushing holes and enter the flaring female mold core 13, and gradually eject the support shell film 8.
[0042] As Figure 5 and 6 shown, preferably, the protective film specifically adopts an aluminum foil composite film 17. The aluminum foil composite film 17 forms a close connection with the sealing convex edge 3. The aluminum foil composite film 17 covers the entire top surface of the support shell film 8.

By covering the rest of the top surface of the support shell film 8 with the aluminum foil composite film 17, both the aesthetic effect can be achieved and the peelable force-applying part can be provided by the extra film length.
[0043] Embodiment 2
[0044] This embodiment is basically the same as Embodiment 1, and the difference lies in: As Figure 2 and 6As shown, preferably, when the male shell film 2 is a stent-type shell film 8, the male shell film 2 has a support platform 8a. The support platform 8a is recessed downward from the top surface to form a downward convex die wall 2a. A sealing convex edge 3 is arranged around the top surface of the support platform 8a along the downward convex die wall 2a. A closed portion 5 is arranged around the bottom surface of the support platform 8a along the downward convex die wall 2a. A support stand is arranged on the bottom surface of the support platform 8a. The female shell film 1 is a matching-type shell film. A flat edge 6 is arranged around the periphery of the downward concave cavity 1a. Legs 7 are arranged downward on the outer periphery of the flat edge 6.

[0045] The downward concave cavity 1a of the female shell film 1 is a spherical structure, and the top surface of the downward concave cavity 1a is the bottom surface of the lens cavity. The downward convex die wall 2a of the male shell film 2 is a spherical structure, and the bottom surface of the downward convex die wall 2a is the top surface of the lens cavity. Relatively speaking, the downward concave cavity 1a has a large curvature and a small radius, and the downward convex die wall 2a has a small curvature and a large radius. After mold closing, a hemispherical gap is formed between the two, thereby determining the shape of the contact lens.
[0046] Embodiment 3
[0047] Based on Embodiments 1 and 2, the difference points of this embodiment are: As Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a contact lens product includes a packaging container. The lens is soaked in a buffer solution in the packaging container. The packaging container is placed in a packaging box. The contact lens product is completed by the above packaging method for recycling the contact lens shell film.
[0048] Based on the fact that the raw material components of the accommodation cup are the same as those of the shell film, and the shape of the accommodation cup is similar to that of the shell film. By developing a set of male and female shell film molds with a specific shape, after the lens is made, the shell film does not need to be discarded. After inspecting that the shape and specifications of the shell film are intact, based on the original shape of the shell film, a simple flaring process is carried out to convert the waste shell film into a storage container, and all performance indicators meet the use requirements. Further, it participates in the packaging of contact lenses, avoiding the waste and treatment cost of discarded shell films, reducing the packaging cost, simplifying the packaging production process, improving the packaging efficiency, and conforming to the environmental protection concept.
