DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] 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.

[0028] See also Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: an eyelid opener, comprising:

[0029] A first housing 21;

[0030] Gear 14, the first housing 21 is rotatably connected with a first fixed shaft 16 via a bearing, the first fixed shaft 16 is fixedly connected with the gear 14, the bearing can play a fixing role and can also make the gear 14 rotate, the first rack 6 and the second rack 11 are meshed and connected on both sides of the gear 14;

[0031] A first finger pressing sheet 4, wherein the first finger pressing sheet 4 is fixedly connected to the first rack 6;

[0032] A second finger-pressing sheet 3, to which the second rack 11 is fixedly connected, and when the finger-pressing sheet is pressed, the internal structure including the gear 14 and the rack can be driven;

[0033] The first spring 5 is fixedly connected between the first finger pressing piece 4 and the second finger pressing piece 3. When the finger pressing the finger pressing piece is released, the first spring 5 can give an outward stretching force to allow the support rod 2 to open automatically.

[0034] A second fixed shaft 8 is fixedly connected inside the first shell 21, and the second fixed shaft 8 is rotatably connected to a pawl 10 through a bearing. The pawl 10 is fixedly connected to an incomplete gear 9. Similarly, the bearing here also plays a role of fixing and allowing the pawl 10 and the incomplete gear 9 to rotate. A ratchet 15 is fixedly connected above the gear 14. The ratchet 15 is on one side of the pawl 10 and parallel to an axis, so as to facilitate the mutual cooperation between the pawl 10 and the ratchet 15.

[0035] The second shell 20 is fixedly connected to the first shell 21, and a self-locking switch 13 is arranged at the top of the second shell 20. A cylindrical slot plate 30 is designed below the self-locking switch 13. The cylindrical slot plate 30 is fixedly connected to the second shell 21. The cylindrical slot plate 30 is provided with card slots 22 and limit slots 25 distributed in an annular array, and the card slots 22 and the limit slots 25 are arranged alternately in sequence. The self-locking switch 13 is fixedly connected to a pressure shaft 23, and the pressure shaft 23 is also distributed in an annular array at the upper ends of each card slot 22 and the limit slot 25. In the process of applying downward pressure, it will be better stressed. A rotating column 26 is designed below the cylindrical slot plate 30. The rotating column 26 is surrounded by sliding shafts 34 distributed in a circular array, and the sliding shafts 34 are slidably connected in the slot 22. A second spring 27 is designed under the rotating column 26. The second spring 27 serves to give an upward thrust to the rotating column 26 and the sliding shaft. The second spring 27 is fixedly connected to the second shell 20 to provide a force point for the spring. The rotating column 26 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 18, and the transmission shaft 18 is designed with spline teeth 17. The spline teeth 17 are parallel to the incomplete gear 9 on an axis and are meshed with the incomplete gear 9. Because the transmission shaft 18 moves in a straight line, the spline teeth 17 can cooperate with the incomplete gear 9, thereby driving the ratchet 10 to rotate.

[0036] The first finger pressure sheet 4 and the second finger pressure sheet 3 are fixedly connected with a spreading rod 2, and arc-shaped support rods 1 are fixedly connected at both ends of the spreading rod. The finger pressure sheet is convenient for finger pressing, allowing medical staff to easily apply force during operation and avoiding finger fatigue.

[0037] Four limit shafts 19 are fixedly connected to the inside of the first shell 21. The limit shafts 19 are respectively designed at the top ends of both sides of the first rack 6 and the second rack 11. The limit shafts 19 limit the movement of the first rack 6 and the second rack 11, and reduce the sound caused by the rack movement reaching the top end.

[0038] A first slide rail 7 and a second slide rail 12 are provided below the first rack 6 and the second rack 11. The first rack 6 and the second rack 11 are slidably connected to the first slide rail 7 and the second slide rail 12 below through a slider to fix the position and movement direction of the two racks.

[0039] The upper end of the sliding shaft 24 is provided with an inclined surface, and the lower end of the limiting groove 25 is also provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surfaces of the sliding shaft 24 and the limiting groove 25 are parallel to each other, so that the sliding shaft 24 can slide into the limiting groove 25 and the card slot easily.

[0040] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the eyelid opener is provided with an additional opening rod fixing function, which ensures that the eyelid can be stably kept in an open state during use, thus greatly guaranteeing the stability of the visual field during eye surgery.

[0041] Working principle: When in use, the finger pressure pieces 3 and 4 at both ends are pressed inwardly by fingers, so that the first spring 5 is compressed under the influence of force, driving the spread rod 2 and the arc-shaped support rod 1 to retract inwardly. At this moment, the arc-shaped support rod 1 at the front end is placed at the appropriate position of the upper and lower eyelids, and the fingers slowly release the finger pressure pieces 3 and 4. At this moment, the first spring 5 gradually expands outward due to the reduction of the pressing force, thereby driving the spread rod 2 and the arc-shaped support rod 1 to extend outward again until they reach the appropriate position, and the self-locking switch 13 can be pressed. At this moment, the pressure shaft 23 applies pressure downward to push the sliding shaft 24, so that the sliding shaft 24 is out of the restraining range of the card slot 22. At this moment, because the sliding shaft 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating column 26, the second spring 27 under the rotating column 26 is also compressed. Because the rotating column 26 is fixedly connected to the transmission shaft 18, the flower on the transmission shaft 18 is driven. The key teeth 17 mesh with the incomplete gear 9 for transmission. The incomplete gear 9 drives the pawl 10 below while rotating. When the pawl 10 rotates to a certain position, it will be stuck in the teeth of the ratchet 15, forcing the ratchet 15 to stop rotating. The gear 14, the first rack 6 and the second rack 11 are also stopped. When the finger pressing the self-locking switch 13 leaves, the force of the second spring 27 pushes the rotating column 26 upward, causing the sliding shaft 24 to enter the limiting groove 25 to complete the self-locking. In this way, the fixation of the arc support rod 1 and the spreading rod 2 during use is achieved. Similarly, the self-locking switch 13 is pressed again, and the sliding shaft 24 will be pushed out of the limiting groove 25 by the pressure shaft 23. The second spring 27 pushes the rotating column 26 upward, causing the sliding shaft 24 to enter the card slot 22. The transmission shaft 18 contracts inward at this time, and the pawl 10 leaves the tooth gap of the ratchet 15 at this moment, thus canceling the self-locking restriction. The whole process control is convenient and practical, ensuring that the eyelids can remain stably open during use, thus guaranteeing the stability of the visual field during eye examination operations.
