[0002] Contact lenses refer to glasses that directly contact the cornea, such as contact lenses or orthokeratology lenses. They are often used to correct vision and control the progression of myopia. Since these glasses need to directly contact the cornea, if there is dust or bacteria remaining on the contact lenses, the contact with the cornea can easily cause eye discomfort or even bacterial infection. Moreover, after long-term wear, the oxygen permeability of the contact lenses will decrease due to the precipitation of protein in tears, which can easily cause damage to the cornea. Therefore, the contact lenses need to be cleaned frequently.

[0035] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, further description is given below in conjunction with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0036] See also Figure 1The present invention discloses a cleaning device for a corneal contact lens, comprising a shell 1, a loading device 5, a rotating device 7, a flushing device 4 and a liquid discharge device 6. The shell 1 is provided with a cleaning tank 11, and the cleaning tank 11 is used to contain a cleaning liquid or a flushing liquid; the loading device 5 is arranged in the cleaning tank 11, and the loading device 5 comprises one or more loading members 52, each of which is used to load a corneal contact lens, and can immerse the corneal contact lens in the cleaning liquid; the loading device 5 is connected to the rotating device 7, and the rotating device 7 drives the loading device 5 to rotate so that the corneal contact lens rotates in the cleaning liquid to clean the corneal contact lens; the flushing device 4 is connected to the cleaning tank 11, and the flushing device 4 is used to spray the flushing liquid into the cleaning tank 11 to form a flushing area, and the rotating device 7 drives the loading device 5 to rotate so that the corneal contact lens passes through the flushing area to flush the corneal contact lens; the liquid discharge device 6 is connected to the cleaning tank 11, and the liquid discharge device 6 is used to discharge the cleaning liquid and the flushing liquid in the cleaning tank 11.

[0037] It can be understood that the corneal contact lenses referred to in this application include contact lenses, orthokeratology lenses, RGB glasses and other glasses that are in direct contact with the cornea.

[0038] The loading device 5 of the present invention can load a contact lens. When the loading device 5 is placed on the cleaning tank 11, the contact lens can be immersed in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 11. The loading device 5 is connected to the rotating device 7, so that the loading device 5 rotates under the drive of the rotating device 7 to drive the contact lens to rotate in the cleaning liquid, thereby cleaning the contact lens; the liquid discharge device 6 can discharge the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 11, and the flushing device 4 sprays the flushing liquid on the contact lens rotating through the flushing area to flush the contact lens, thereby achieving cleaning and flushing of the contact lens, avoiding residual cleaning liquid on the contact lens, and helping to improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the contact lens. The loading device 5 of the present invention can be provided with multiple loading parts 52 to load contact lenses respectively. The loading device 5 is driven to rotate by the rotating device 7, so that multiple contact lenses can be cleaned and multiple contact lenses can be allowed to enter the flushing area in turn to flush the contact lenses.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 Specifically, the cleaning tank 11 is recessed at the top of the shell 1, and the cleaning device also includes a dust cover 2 that can cooperate with the shell 1. The dust cover 2 can be covered on the top of the shell 1 to prevent dust and other debris from entering the cleaning tank 11.

[0040] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4Furthermore, the loading device 5 is detachably disposed in the cleaning tank 11 and is detachably connected to the rotating device 7. After the loading device 5 is disassembled from the cleaning tank 11, it is convenient to clean the cleaning tank 11, pour cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 11, and load and remove the corneal contact lens from the loading part 52.

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the loading device 5 also includes a rotating cover body 51 and a first rotating shaft 53 connected to the bottom of the rotating cover body 51, and the loading member 52 is connected to the bottom of the rotating cover body 51; the rotating device 7 includes a rotating driver 72 and a second rotating shaft 71 connected to the rotating driver 72, the second rotating shaft 71 passes through the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 and forms a detachable locking structure 18 with the first rotating shaft 53, the rotating driver 72 drives the second rotating shaft 71 to rotate to drive the loading device 5 to rotate through the locking structure 18.

[0042] It can be understood that the connection method between the rotation driver 72 and the second rotating shaft 71 can be that the output end of the rotation driver 72 is directly connected to the lower end of the second rotating shaft 71, or a gear can be set at the output end of the rotation driver 72, and the gear is meshed with the gear at the lower end of the second rotating shaft 71, and so on. As long as the connection method can drive the second rotating shaft 71 to rotate through the rotation driver 72, the present application is not limited.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, a through hole 111 is provided on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11, and the upper end of the second rotating shaft 71 passes through the through hole 111 to be connected with the first rotating shaft 53. A liquid-isolating wall 112 is provided on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 to protrude inwardly, and the liquid-isolating wall 112 is provided around the second rotating shaft 71 to isolate the liquid in the cleaning tank 11 from entering the through hole 111. The provision of the liquid-isolating wall 112 can prevent the liquid from flowing out of the gap between the through hole 111 and the second rotating shaft 71 into the interior of the housing 1.

[0044] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5Specifically, the loading device 5 is adapted to the container 19 for storing the contact lens. After the loading device 5 is detached from the cleaning device, it can be placed in the container 19 so that the contact lens enters the container 19 and the rotating cover 51 covers the opening of the container 19. By adapting the loading device 5 to the container 19, after cleaning and rinsing the contact lens loaded by the loading device 5, the loading device 5 can be directly detached from the cleaning device and placed in the container 19 to store the contact lens, that is, the rotating cover 51 of the loading device 5 can be directly used as the cover of the container 19, avoiding the need to use tweezers to remove the contact lens from the loading member 52 when the contact lens needs to be stored or carried, saving operation steps and improving convenience.

[0045] See also Figure 2 Further, the first rotating shaft 53 includes a first locking portion 531, and the second rotating shaft 71 includes a second locking portion 711. The first locking portion 531 and the second locking portion 711 are arranged opposite to each other to form an locking structure 18. When the second rotating shaft 71 rotates, the first locking portion 531 abuts against the second locking portion 711 to drive the first rotating shaft 53 to rotate.

[0046] Specifically, the first locking portion 531 and the second locking portion 711 can be the raised portions of the first rotating shaft 53 and the second rotating shaft 71 respectively, the first locking portion 531 of the first rotating shaft 53 can extend into the recessed portion of the second rotating shaft 71, and the second locking portion 711 of the second rotating shaft 71 can extend into the recessed portion of the first rotating shaft 53, thereby forming a locking structure 18.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, a water hole 521 is provided on the portion of the loading member 52 for loading the contact lens, and the size of the water hole 521 is smaller than the size of the contact lens. The provision of the water hole 521 enables the flushing liquid sprayed by the flushing device 4 to directly contact the contact lens through the water hole 521 when the loading device 5 rotates, so that the contact lens can be fully flushed.

[0048] The number of the water holes 521 may be one or more, which is not limited in the present application.

[0049] Specifically, the loading part 52 can be a clamping part made of elastic material, or a holding part capable of accommodating and fixing a corneal contact lens, etc. As long as it is a loading part 52 capable of loading a corneal contact lens and being in contact with a cleaning liquid and a flushing liquid, the present application does not impose any limitation.

[0050] When the loading member 52 is a clamping member, the portion of the clamping member that clamps the corneal contact lens will hinder the cleaning liquid and the flushing liquid from contacting the side of the corneal contact lens. By providing a water hole 521 in the clamping portion of the clamping member, the cleaning liquid and the flushing liquid can contact the side of the corneal contact lens, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect.

[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the flushing device 4 includes a first liquid storage tank 41, a first water pump 43 and a flushing nozzle 42. The first liquid storage tank 41 is used to store flushing liquid. The first liquid storage tank 41 is connected to the first water pump 43. The first water pump 43 is connected to the flushing nozzle 42. The flushing nozzle 42 is connected to the cleaning tank 11. The first water pump 43 draws the flushing liquid in the first liquid storage tank 41 and sprays it into the cleaning tank 11 through the flushing nozzle 42.

[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 Specifically, the first liquid storage tank 41 is detachably disposed on the outside of the housing 1, the first water pump 43 and the flushing nozzle 42 are disposed in the housing 1, the first water pump 43 is connected to the first liquid storage tank 41 through a liquid infusion tube 44, and the liquid infusion tube 44 runs through the housing 1. The first liquid storage tank 41 is detachably disposed on the outside of the housing 1, so that the first liquid storage tank 41 can be easily replaced or replenished with flushing liquid after the flushing liquid in the first liquid storage tank 41 is exhausted.

[0053] Furthermore, the first water pump 43 is an oxygenation water pump, and the first water pump 43 is used to inject oxygen into the rinsing liquid that is about to enter the rinsing nozzle 42, so that the rinsing nozzle 42 sprays the rinsing liquid with high oxygen content on the corneal contact lens. By making the corneal contact lens adhere to the rinsing liquid with high oxygen content, the wearing comfort of the wearer can be improved.

[0054] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a cleaning liquid injection device 20, which is connected to the cleaning tank 11 and is used to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 11. By providing the cleaning liquid injection device 20, the cleaning liquid can be automatically injected into the cleaning tank 11.

[0055] See also Figure 3 Specifically, the cleaning liquid injection device 20 includes a second liquid storage tank 201, a second water pump 202 and an injection pipe 203. The second liquid storage tank 201 is used to store cleaning liquid. The second liquid storage tank 201 is connected to the second water pump 202. The second water pump 202 is connected to the cleaning tank 11 through the injection pipe 203. The second water pump 202 extracts the cleaning liquid in the second liquid storage tank 201 and injects it into the cleaning tank 11 through the injection pipe 203.

[0056] Further, the second liquid storage tank 201 is detachably arranged on the outside of the housing 1, the second water pump 202 and the injection pipe 203 are arranged in the housing 1, and the second water pump 202 is connected with the second liquid storage tank 201 through the infusion pipe 44, and the infusion pipe 44 runs through the housing 1. The second liquid storage tank 201 is arranged on the outside of the housing 1, so that the second liquid storage tank 201 can be easily replaced or replenished with cleaning liquid after the cleaning liquid in the second liquid storage tank 201 is exhausted.

[0057] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the drain device 6 includes a drain valve 61 and a liquid collecting container 62 . The drain valve 61 is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 11 , and the drain valve 61 is used to drain the liquid in the cleaning tank 11 into the liquid collecting container 62 .

After the liquid collecting container 62 collects the waste liquid, the waste liquid can be poured out by disassembling the liquid collecting container 62.

[0059] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be understood that the liquid collecting container 62 can be detachably arranged at the bottom of the shell 1 by arranging a detachable bearing member 3 at the bottom of the shell 1, forming a receiving space for placing the liquid collecting container 62 between the bearing member 3 and the shell 1, and the liquid collecting container 62 can be disassembled by disassembling the bearing member 3, or the liquid collecting container 62 can be detachably connected to the bottom of the shell 1, etc. The detachable connection method includes connection by means of snaps or threads.

[0060] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes an ultrasonic device 16, which is embedded in the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 and is used to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the corneal contact lens.

[0061] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a UV sterilizing lamp 17, which is disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 11, and is used to irradiate the corneal contact lens to eliminate bacteria.

[0062] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, the cleaning device further comprises an electrophoresis device 8, which comprises an anode probe 82 and a cathode probe 81. When the anode probe 82 and the cathode probe 81 are energized, a circuit loop can be formed in the cleaning solution to separate the protein attached to the contact lens. The electrophoresis device 8 can detach the protein attached to the contact lens, and make the detached protein move toward the anode probe 82 or the cathode probe 81 in the cleaning solution and adsorb on the probe, thereby cleaning the protein on the contact lens.

[0063] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a plasma generating device 12, which is disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 11, and is used to sterilize the corneal contact lens.

[0064] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a control panel 9, a battery 14 and a control circuit board 15, wherein the battery 14 and the control circuit board 15 are disposed in the shell 1, and the control panel 9 is disposed outside the shell 1.

[0065] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present invention also discloses a method for cleaning a corneal contact lens, which uses the cleaning device as described above to perform cleaning, comprising:

[0066] Injecting cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 11 so that the contact lens loaded by the loading device 5 is immersed in the cleaning liquid;

[0067] The rotating device 7 drives the loading device 5 to rotate so as to drive the contact lens to rotate in the cleaning liquid;

[0068] The drain device 6 discharges the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 11;

[0069] The flushing device 4 sprays flushing liquid into the cleaning tank 11 , the rotating device 7 drives the loading device 5 to rotate so that the corneal contact lens passes through the flushing area, and the flushing liquid in the cleaning tank 11 is discharged through the drain device 6 .

[0070] Specifically, the cleaning liquid may be injected into the cleaning tank 11 by injecting the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 11 through the cleaning liquid injecting device 20 , or the cleaning liquid may be poured into the cleaning tank 11 by disassembling the loading device 5 .

[0071] Furthermore, the flushing device 4 can spray the flushing liquid into the cleaning tank 11 intermittently. When the loading device 5 rotates to drive the corneal contact lens into the flushing area, the flushing device 4 starts to spray the flushing liquid into the cleaning tank 11, and when the corneal contact lens leaves the flushing area, the flushing device 4 stops spraying the flushing liquid into the cleaning tank 11, thereby saving the flushing liquid in the first liquid storage tank 41 and avoiding frequent replenishment of the flushing liquid to the first liquid storage tank 41.

[0072] It is understandable that the liquid discharge device 6 may start to discharge the rinsing liquid in the cleaning tank 11 when the rinsing device 4 sprays the rinsing liquid into the cleaning tank 11 , or may discharge the rinsing liquid in the cleaning tank 11 after the rinsing is completed.

[0073] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
