Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of goggles, in particular to an anti-fog goggles with a hydrophobic drainage structure. Background Art

[0002] Goggles are glasses worn during sports or work, mainly used to protect the eyes from damage caused by splashing objects, chemicals, infectious body fluids (such as droplets, blood, etc.) and strong light, especially in the self-protection of medical staff, goggles are currently the main tool used for eye and face protection. However, in actual use, when the temperature and relative humidity of the gas in the space defined between the goggles body and the user's face and eyes reaches the dew point, a condensation similar to "fog" will form on the inner surface of the goggles, causing the goggles to fog and become unclear. This fogging phenomenon will bring many inconveniences and serious consequences to the users. When fogging occurs, the user's field of vision will be greatly reduced and become blurred, making it impossible to continue the current action, or causing serious consequences due to the inability to see the current situation clearly. For example, when medical staff use the goggles, when the goggles fog up, it will seriously block the line of sight, causing great trouble to the clinical work of medical staff or serious medical accidents; or when the user is wearing goggles and moving at a high speed among fixed obstacles, when the goggles fog up, it will cause serious physical injuries to the user.

[0003] In the prior art, the technologies for preventing goggles from fogging mainly include the following methods: spraying an anti-fog spray or applying an anti-fog layer on the lenses of the goggles, adding an automatic defogger to the goggles, and opening ventilation holes on the goggles. For example, Chinese patent CN201642545U discloses a breathable anti-fog goggles, on which the lenses of the goggles are sprayed with an anti-fog agent to prevent the generation of fog.
