DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is a combination of the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1-3 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] Figure 1 The axial schematic diagram of the dry eye relief device based on traditional Chinese medicine theory provided in an embodiment of the present invention comprises at least: a main frame 1, atomization modules 13, 14, acupoint stimulation modules 11, 12, a blink reminder module 3, power management modules 7, 8 and an intelligent control module 2; wherein, the intelligent control module 2 is data-connected with the atomization modules 13, 14, acupoint stimulation modules 11, 12 and blink reminder module 3, and the power management modules 7, 8 are electrically connected with the intelligent control module 2.

[0024] It is understood that the main frame 1 is designed based on the shape of existing glasses and includes a lens frame 4 to maximize the adaptability of the wearer's wearing requirements. Furthermore, the atomization modules 13, 14, acupoint stimulation modules 11, 12, blink reminder module 3, power management modules 7, 8, and intelligent control module 2 are designed around the main frame 1 to achieve integrated functionality and facilitate portability and storage.

[0025] In some possible implementations, the main frame 1 is provided with an adjustable contact rod group on the inner side, and the adjustable rod group is used to adapt to the facial contours of different users.

[0026] In some possible implementations, the atomization modules 13, 14 include at least a micro ultrasonic atomizer, a cooling system, and a guide channel; the micro ultrasonic atomizer is fixedly connected to the main frame 1, the cooling system is movably connected to the guide channel, the cooling system is movably connected to the micro ultrasonic atomizer, and the cooling system is located between the guide channel and the ultrasonic atomizer, and the cooling system includes a semiconductor refrigeration plate. The cooling system cools the atomized droplets through the semiconductor refrigeration plate, and the liquid flows to the cooling system through the guide channel. The cooling system guides the cooled atomized droplets to the side of the user's eyes, and further transmits them to the micro ultrasonic atomizer through connecting rods 9 and 10 for atomization. Furthermore, the micro ultrasonic atomizer converts the liquid into micron-sized droplets through high-frequency oscillation, and the cooling system uses the semiconductor refrigeration plate to cool the droplets to ensure that the generated atomized droplets remain at a low temperature.

[0027] In some possible embodiments, the acupoint stimulation modules 11 and 12 include at least a micro-vibration motor and an electrode array. The micro-vibration motor is embedded in the nose pad 6 of the main frame 1, and the electrode array is distributed on the inside of the frame near specific acupoints around the eyes. It is understood that the micro-vibration motor generates intermittent vibration signals through an eccentric mechanism, with a vibration frequency range of 30Hz to 100Hz. The electrode array simulates the effects of acupuncture by outputting microcurrents with an intensity range of 0.1mA to 1mA. Both the vibration signal and the microcurrent output are synchronously controlled by a microprocessor according to a preset program. The position of the electrode array is matched to human anatomical data through three-dimensional modeling to ensure precise correspondence with key acupoints around the eyes.

[0028] In some possible implementations, the blink reminder module 3 includes at least a micro-vibration unit and an LED flashing light group 5. The micro-vibration unit is mounted on the nose pad 6 and is separated from the electrode array. The LED flashing light group 5 is arranged in a ring around the periphery of the orbital frame 15, and the LED flashing light group 5 includes at least 8 LED lights. It is understood that the micro-vibration unit generates a short vibration signal through an eccentric wheel mechanism, with a vibration frequency range of 120Hz to 150Hz. The LED flashing light group uses PWM dimming technology to achieve dynamic changes in brightness and frequency, with a flashing frequency range of 1Hz to 3Hz. The microprocessor determines the user's blinking frequency based on the data collected by the blink detection sensor and adjusts the intensity and frequency of the vibration signal and the light flashing through an algorithm.

[0029] In some possible embodiments, the power management modules 7 and 8 include at least an electrically connected lithium battery and a wireless charging receiving coil; the wireless charging receiving coil is integrated into the surface of the lithium battery housing. The lithium battery capacity is 800mAh, and the wireless charging receiving coil supports the Qi standard, with a charging efficiency of 85%. The power management module also has an overcharge protection circuit and an over-discharge protection circuit to ensure the safety of the device.

[0030] In some possible implementations, the intelligent control module 2 includes at least a data-connected microprocessor and a communication module, which are spaced apart and arranged on the inner wall of the eyeglass frame 15. It is understood that the communication module supports Bluetooth protocol and is connected to a local terminal.

The liquid storage chamber is made of transparent medical-grade plastic and has a capacity of 10ml. The microprocessor determines the remaining liquid in the liquid storage chamber based on the data feedback from the liquid level sensor and sends a prompt signal when the liquid level is lower than the set threshold.

[0034] The acupoint stimulation module also includes an adaptive pressure regulation system, which includes a pressure sensor and a drive motor. The pressure sensor is installed on the contact surface of the nose pad. The drive motor adjusts the height of the nose pad through a gear transmission mechanism. The measurement range of the pressure sensor is 0Pa to 500Pa, with an accuracy of ±1Pa. The power of the drive motor is 3W and the response time is 0.2 seconds.

[0035] The intelligent control module also includes an environmental adaptation algorithm, which dynamically adjusts the mist output of the atomization module, the vibration frequency and microcurrent intensity of the acupoint stimulation module, and the vibration intensity and light brightness of the blink reminder module through the ambient humidity, temperature and user blinking frequency data collected by the sensor group. The algorithm runs in a cycle of 10ms.
