Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an automatic removal and disinfection device for artificial eyes. Background Art

[0002] An artificial eye is an artificial limb that is worn by humans. It is a remedial measure for improving appearance after blindness and atrophy of the eye or after enucleation of the eyeball. The artificial eye is placed in the conjunctival sac of the eye, which can fill the orbit and support the eyelid. However, due to hand contact or instrument contamination during wearing, it is very easy to get infected and cause inflammation. Therefore, it is extremely important to remove and wear the artificial eye without contamination and to disinfect and protect it.

[0003] In the prior art, the artificial eye is usually removed and worn by directly removing the artificial eye piece by hand or using a removal tool, and then the artificial eye piece is cleaned and disinfected. The artificial eye is then worn while keeping the hands clean. The eyeball assembled with the artificial eye is generally cared for by dripping anti-inflammatory and anti-infection eye drops.

[0004] At present, the existing technology of directly removing the artificial eye by hand is very prone to infection due to multiple contacts including a certain contact with the eyeball. Even if the hands or instruments are disinfected, other parts may be accidentally touched during the touching and moving process, causing accidental contamination. Secondly, manual operation is required every time to complete the removal and cleaning and disinfection process, which is extremely inconvenient for patients who have at least one eye that cannot see clearly. Under such conditions, both the artificial eye and the eyeball must be disinfected, and the operation is too complicated. In addition, it is very easy to accidentally injure other parts of the eyeball due to the inability to see clearly when removing the artificial eye, resulting in secondary injury. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to propose an automatic removal and disinfection device for artificial eyes, so as to solve the problem that there is no automated device in the prior art that can simultaneously realize the flexible, precise and safe removal and wearing of artificial eyes and the sufficient and uniform disinfection and cleaning to avoid accidental touching, resulting in great inconvenience for patients to wear artificial eyes and clean and disinfect them by themselves, as well as the problem of accidental touching causing secondary injury or infection and inflammation of the eyes.

A telescopic negative pressure sheet extractor is fixedly arranged in the middle of the eye prosthesis disinfection area. An electric telescopic partition board is fixedly arranged at the top of the partition area. Atomizing disinfectors and dehumidifying and drying devices are arranged in both the eye disinfection area and the eye prosthesis disinfection area. A controller is connected to the outside of the protective eye frame, and the controller is connected to the telescopic negative pressure sheet extractor, the electric telescopic partition board, the atomizing disinfector and the dehumidifying and drying device through wires.

[0008] Furthermore, a flexible sealing gasket is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the protective eye frame.

[0009] Furthermore, a dehumidifying suction port is fixedly arranged on the inner left wall of the eye disinfection area, and atomizing ports are arranged on both the upper and lower inner walls of the eye disinfection area.

[0010] Furthermore, a partition groove is opened at the top of the partition area, and the electric telescopic partition board is matched with the partition groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a waste liquid suction port is arranged at the inner bottom of the eye prosthesis disinfection area, and a plurality of disinfectant spray heads are arranged around the inner side of the eye prosthesis disinfection area.

[0012] Furthermore, the telescopic negative pressure sheet extractor includes a negative pressure suction machine fixedly arranged outside the eye prosthesis disinfection area and an electric telescopic rod fixedly arranged inside the eye prosthesis disinfection area. A flexible adsorption disc is fixedly connected and communicated at the top of the electric telescopic rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the electric telescopic rod is a hollow pipe, one end of the hollow pipe is communicated with the negative pressure suction machine, and one end is communicated with the bottom of the flexible adsorption disc.

[0014] Furthermore, an eye prosthesis identifier for identifying the eye prosthesis is fixedly arranged on the electric telescopic rod.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] The present invention proposes an automatic eye prosthesis extraction and disinfection device that simultaneously realizes automatic and precise extraction of the eye prosthesis and partition disinfection and anti-inflammation of the eye prosthesis and the eye.
