Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an eye cleaning device, and more particularly to an eyelid cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with increasing air pollution and the increased use of electronic products, the incidence of eye diseases, such as dry eye and conjunctivitis, has been rising year by year. Therefore, we increasingly need to perform eyelid margin cleaning to treat and alleviate eye discomfort. Eyelid margin cleaning plays an important role in the treatment and prevention of eye diseases. The normal flora of the eyelid margin itself does not cause blepharitis. Invasion of foreign bacteria, an increase in the bacterial clone, and dysbiosis of the eye flora can lead to bacterial toxicity to tissues and induce an immune inflammatory response. Bacterial debris and free bacteria colonize and form bacterial biofilms, blocking the absorption of medications. At this time, eyelid margin cleaning is necessary, and its functions include: ① removing dirt, necrotic tissue, allergens, and inflammatory products from the eyelid margin. ② reducing inflammation. ③ reducing the local microbial load and biofilm burden. ④ clearing the meibomian gland openings and facilitating meibomian gland secretion. ⑤ reducing the host's local immune response. ⑥ improving the microenvironment of the eyelid margin.

[0003] Traditional methods for cleaning the eyelid margin involve using a disposable cotton swab dipped in cleaning liquid to gently massage the eyelid margin. However, this method makes it difficult to control the pressure; too much pressure can easily injure the eye, while too little pressure fails to achieve the desired cleaning effect. Currently used cleaning liquids are generally water-based. Since the eyelid margin is where oil secretion occurs, water-based liquids are insufficient for effective cleaning and do not introduce additional oil to the eye area, potentially even reducing the eye's natural oil levels. Eyelid margin cleaning is a routine part of eye care, requiring frequent and prolonged cleaning. However, currently, treatment and cleaning of the eyelid margin are generally performed by professionals in hospitals, making daily home care impossible for patients. This results in a significant waste and strain on medical resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an eyelid margin cleaning device with rotation and heating functions. When combined with a medicated cleaning stick, it can effectively treat and clean the eyelid margin area. This device is simple and convenient to use, and its compact structure makes it suitable for patients' daily home care and physical therapy, solving the problem that existing eyelid margin treatment and cleaning require going to the hospital.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lip margin cleaner, comprising a handle, an mounting head disposed on the top of the handle, and a motor disposed inside the handle, wherein a cleaning rod is detachably mounted on the mounting head, and the motor drives the cleaning rod to rotate.

[0006] In the above technical solution, preferably, the mounting head is provided with a bearing seat, the bearing seat is provided with a clip, the cleaning rod is detachably fixed in the clip, the motor is provided with an output shaft, and the output shaft is connected to the clip.

[0007] In the above technical solution, preferably, the mounting head is further provided with a heating device, which heats the drug-receiving part of the cleaning rod.

[0008] In the above technical solution, preferably, the mounting head is provided with a bearing seat, the bearing seat is provided with a clip, the cleaning rod is detachably fixed in the clip, the motor is provided with an output shaft, and the output shaft is connected to the clip via a gear set.

[0009] In the above technical solution, preferably, the gear set includes an output gear and a card holder gear, wherein the card holder gear is disposed at the bottom of the card holder and is hollow.

[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, the card holder is provided with a through hole that matches the hollow of the card holder gear.

[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, the heating device is a heating rod, which extends through the card holder and the card holder gear to the outside of the mounting head.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the heating rod can extend into the cleaning rod.

[0013] In the above technical solution, preferably, it also includes a speed control device and a speed control key that matches the speed control device.

[0014] In the above technical solution, preferably, it also includes a built-in power supply and a charging port that cooperates with the built-in power supply.

[0015] The treatment device in this application needs to be used in conjunction with the disposable medical drug-loaded swabs (as claimed in a separate application by the applicant) to achieve the functions of eyelid margin treatment and cleaning. Here, the applicant briefly describes the specific structure of the disposable medical drug-loaded swabs. The disposable medical drug-loaded swabs include a hollow tube and a drug reservoir. The hollow tube has a drug-receiving portion, and the drug reservoir stores liquid medication. When compressed, the liquid medication enters the hollow tube and accumulates on the drug-receiving portion. As can be seen from the above, after the disposable medical drug-loaded swabs have finished receiving medication, they function similarly to disposable iodine swabs, i.e., the hollow tube contains degreased cotton soaked in medication. However, unlike disposable iodine swabs, the medication soaked in the disposable medical drug-loaded swabs is primarily a gel. In eyelid margin treatment and cleaning, the gel is the main therapeutic drug or a carrier of the therapeutic drug. The main function of the treatment device in this application is to ensure that the gel acts more effectively on the eyelid margin.

[0016] When using this treatment, the receiving part of a disposable medical drug-loaded swab needs to be soaked in the medication solution, and then the disposable medical drug-loaded swab is inserted into the installation head. The receiving part is then moved to the eyelid margin, the treatment device is turned on, and the disposable medical drug-loaded swab rotates at a constant speed. If necessary, the receiving part of the disposable medical drug-loaded swab can be heated to accelerate the drug's efficacy and improve the treatment effect.

[0017] More specifically, the use of this application is not limited to the disposable medical swabs in the applicant's separate application. The therapeutic device in this application, when fitted with other detachable medical swabs or cotton swabs, can be used for cleaning and treatment of various parts of the human skin.

[0018] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features rotational pressure therapy and drug heating functions. When combined with a medicated cleaning stick, it effectively treats and cleans the eyelid margin. The device is simple to use, compact, and easy to clean. It uses a disposable cleaning stick, ensuring safety and hygiene, making it suitable for daily home care and physiotherapy. This solves the problem of existing eyelid margin treatments requiring specialized hospital visits. Furthermore, this invention can not only treat the eyelid margin but also, with the addition of different medications, can perform corresponding cleaning or treatment on various parts of the skin.
