DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown: Embodiment 1: The present invention provides an eyelid retractor for ophthalmic examination, comprising a sleeve assembly 1, wherein a group of slider assemblies 2 are slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve assembly 1, a group of slider assemblies 2 are rotatably connected to a retracting assembly 3, a spring 4 is further arranged between the group of slider assemblies 2, a coordinated flip assembly 5 is rotatably connected to the sleeve assembly 1, and a positioning assembly 6 is slidably connected to the sleeve assembly 1; The spring 4 drives a group of slider assemblies 2 to drive the spreading assemblies 3 to move away from each other. The spreading assemblies 3 are limitedly slidably embedded in the coordinated flipping assembly 5. A group of spreading assemblies 3 rotates around the sleeve assembly 1 through the coordinated flipping assembly 5, and the positioning assembly 6 positions the spreading assemblies 3. When in use, two fingers pinch a group of spreading components 3, so that the group of spreading components 3 drives a group of slider components 2 to move relatively and approach, and at the same time the spring 4 is compressed; After one set of spreading components 3 is moved to the eyelid position, one set of spreading components 3 is gradually released, and at this time, the one set of spreading components 3 is driven by the spring 4 to move away from each other; When the expansion assembly is expanded to a suitable degree for examination according to the patient's condition, the sleeve assembly 1 is rotated so that the positioning assembly 6 is embedded in a group of expansion assemblies 3, thereby fixing the position of a group of expansion assemblies 3 and preventing a group of expansion assemblies 3 from being opened too much.

[0017] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown: Specifically, the sleeve assembly 1 includes a sleeve body 11, and a guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the interior of the sleeve body 11. The cross section of the sleeve body 11 is U-shaped and plays a guiding role for the slider body 21; The slider assembly 2 includes a slider body 21, and a compression groove 22 is formed on the slider body 21; The slider body 21 is limitedly slidably embedded on the guide rod 12, the spring 4 is slidably embedded on the outer side of the guide rod 12, and the compression groove 22 accommodates the spring 4 in a compressed state.

[0018] Specifically, the expansion assembly 3 includes a connecting frame 31, a expansion frame 32 is fixedly connected to the outer side of one end of the connecting frame 31, and a shaft ring 33 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting frame 31; The slider body 21 is also provided with a shaft frame 23; The shaft ring 33 is locked on the shaft frame 23 for limited rotation.

[0019] Specifically, a soft sleeve 37 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting frame 31 near the shaft ring 33 .

[0020] As can be seen from the above, when the soft sleeve 37 on the support frame 32 is pinched with two fingers, the shaft ring 33 is driven through the connecting frame 31, and the slider body 21 is driven to move relatively and approach along the guide rod 12 at the same time, and the compression groove 22 accommodates the spring 4 in a compressed state; After moving the opening frame 32 to be embedded in the eyelid closing position, gradually release both hands, the spring 4 slides outside the guide rod 12 and drives a group of slider bodies 21 to move away from each other, and then drives the opening frame 32 to open the eyelid through the movement of the shaft ring 33; When the opening is extended to a suitable degree for examination according to the patient's condition, the sleeve body 11 is rotated so that the positioning component 6 is snapped onto the opening component 3 , thereby fixing the position of the opening component 3 .

[0021] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown: Embodiment 2: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the cooperative flip assembly 5 includes a second guide rod 51, and both ends of the second guide rod 51 are fixedly connected to a limiting ring 52; A sliding groove 34 is formed through the middle of the shaft ring 33; The sleeve body 11 is also provided with a mounting hole 13; The limiting ring 52 is limited in rotation and is embedded in the mounting hole 13; The shaft ring 33 is limitedly slidably engaged on the second guide rod 51 through the sliding groove 34 .

[0022] As can be seen from the above, when a group of opening frames 32 move away from each other and open the eyelids, the cooperation between the sliding slot 34 and the second guide rod 51 can ensure that the group of opening frames 32 are always located in a straight line to avoid deflection. At the same time, the sleeve body 11 is rotated so that the positioning assembly 6 can be locked onto the expansion assembly 3, so that the position of the expansion assembly 3 can be fixed.

[0023] like Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown: Embodiment 3: This embodiment is basically the same as the previous embodiment, except that the positioning assembly 6 includes a connecting bracket 61, a plurality of trapezoidal blocks 62 are fixedly connected to the connecting bracket 61, and a lever 63 is also fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting bracket 61; A protrusion 35 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the shaft ring 33, and a positioning slot 36 is formed on the protrusion 35; A limiting groove 14 is also provided inside the sleeve body 11; The connecting bracket 61 is limitedly slidably engaged in the limiting groove 14 , and the trapezoidal block 62 is engaged in the positioning groove 36 .

[0024] Specifically, the outer side of the connecting bracket 61 is also fixedly connected with a second spring 64; The second spring 64 drives the connecting bracket 61 to move the trapezoidal block 62 and lock it into the positioning slot 36 .

[0025] As can be seen from the above, when the sleeve body 11 is rotated around the expansion component 3, the sleeve body 11 will move with the positioning component 6. When the trapezoidal block 62 moves to the position of the protrusion 35, it will first push the connecting bracket 61 to compress the second spring 64. After continuing to move, the second spring 64 drives the trapezoidal block 62 to be embedded in the positioning slot 36, thereby firmly fixing the position of the expansion component 3. If the degree of expansion needs to be adjusted or the expander needs to be removed, one only needs to pinch a set of connecting frames 31 in advance and gently push the lever 63 to make the connecting bracket 61 and the trapezoidal block 62 disengage from the positioning slot 36, thereby releasing the fixation of the expansion component 3, so that the doctor can make flexible adjustments according to the patient's specific conditions.
