Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of physiotherapy devices, specifically to a dry eye fumigation, hot compress, and massage therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] Modern lifestyles are driving up the incidence of eye diseases. Factors such as prolonged use of electronic devices, dry air-conditioned environments, and aging contribute to insufficient tear secretion or excessive tear evaporation. Patients often experience symptoms such as dry eyes, foreign body sensation, and fluctuating vision. In severe cases, it can damage the cornea, affecting visual function and quality of life, creating an urgent clinical need for highly effective treatment devices. Drug treatment, primarily artificial tears, only provides short-term symptom relief, and long-term use may disrupt tear homeostasis without addressing the underlying issues such as meibomian gland dysfunction. Ocular surface physiology studies have clearly shown that warm compresses (40-45℃) can soften meibomian gland oil and promote its excretion, while steaming can moisturize the ocular surface and relieve dryness. The combined effect of these two methods is superior to either method alone.

[0003] In existing technology, an eye nebulizer, model VLVEE, is used. By adding saline solution into the nebulizer, the ultrasonic waves generated by the nebulizer break the saline solution into micron-sized droplets, which are then applied directly to the eye to moisturize the ocular surface and achieve the therapeutic effect of dry eye syndrome.

[0004] Existing research indicates that there are abundant nerve endings beneath acupoints around the eyes. Stimulating these acupoints can promote the secretion of basal and reflex tears through nerve reflex arcs, fundamentally increasing the moisture content of the ocular surface. However, in actual use of the aforementioned nebulizers, their function is limited to providing ocular surface steaming, lacking the ability to massage and apply heat to acupoints around the eyes, making it difficult to effectively promote local blood circulation and tear secretion. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a dry eye steaming, heat compressing, and massage therapy device to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a dry eye fumigation, hot compress, and massage therapy device. This device integrates a single structure for fumigation, hot compress, and massage. By using traditional Chinese medicine fumigation to moisten the ocular surface, and simultaneously applying hot compresses and massage to acupoints around the eyes to stimulate tear secretion, it achieves a highly effective comprehensive treatment for dry eye syndrome, overcoming the shortcomings of existing devices with limited functionality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A dry eye fumigation, hot compress, and massage therapy device includes a therapy device body and an elastic strap, both ends of which are fixedly connected to the therapy device body. It also includes an atomizing component for atomizing traditional Chinese medicine liquid into traditional Chinese medicine vapor. The therapy device body includes symmetrically arranged eye masks, with adjacent eye masks hinged together. Each eye mask has a fumigation chamber, and each eye mask sidewall has a driving chamber. Each eye mask sidewall has several sliding channels, and each sliding channel has acupoint rods that slide within the sliding channels. One end of each acupoint rod extends into the driving chamber. Each eye mask sidewall is fixedly connected to an elastic silicone membrane. Each driving chamber is equipped with a massage component for driving the acupoint rods to push against the elastic silicone membrane to reciprocate and press acupoints above the eye socket. The atomizing component is used to deliver traditional Chinese medicine vapor into the fumigation chamber for fumigating the eyes.

[0007] The technical principles of the above solution are as follows:

[0008] The eye masks are fastened above the eye sockets, and the therapeutic device is secured to the head using elastic straps. Then, the prepared traditional Chinese medicine solution is added to the atomizing component, which atomizes the solution into micron-sized herbal vapors. These vapors are delivered into the fumigation chambers of the two eye masks, ensuring full contact with the ocular surface and achieving the moisturizing, nourishing, and pharmacological therapeutic effects of the herbal fumigation.

[0009] The acupoint rod is positioned over the area of ​​the acupoints above the eye socket. The drive assembly periodically actuates adjacent acupoint rods, causing them to reciprocate linearly within the sliding channel. One end of the acupoint rod actuates the elastic silicone membrane, driving the silicone head to gently and rhythmically press on acupoints such as Jingming and Zanzhu around the eye, achieving acupoint massage stimulation.

[0010] The above approach has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. This solution achieves a deep synergy between fumigation, hot compress, and massage. Under the effect of hot compress dilating blood vessels around the eyes, the pharmacological components of the Chinese herbal steam are more easily absorbed by the ocular surface tissue. At the same time, massage promotes circulation and accelerates metabolism, solving the problem of limited effectiveness of single treatment methods and improving the treatment efficiency of dry eye syndrome.

[0012] 2. This solution integrates traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, acupoint massage, and hot compress into one structure, which simplifies the complexity of dry eye treatment and reduces the size of the equipment. The three elements work synergistically to improve the treatment effect of dry eye.

[0013] 3. The massage components in this solution adopt a mechanical transmission structure, which makes the pressure and frequency of acupoint massage stable and controllable, and requires no additional manual operation, thus lowering the threshold for use and making it suitable for daily home care scenarios.

[0014] Furthermore, the atomizing assembly includes a liquid storage box, an atomizer, and a mist guide tube; the liquid storage box is detachably connected to the top of the atomizer, and the inside of the liquid storage box is used to store the Chinese herbal medicine liquid. The top of the liquid storage box is provided with a liquid filling port and a sealing cap; the input port of the atomizer is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage box; one end of the mist guide tube is connected to the output port of the atomizer, and the other end of the mist guide tube passes through the side wall of the goggles and is connected to the fumigation chamber.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The detachable design of the liquid storage box facilitates the replenishment and cleaning of the liquid, reducing the risk of cross-infection; the combination of the liquid filling port and the sealing cap ensures that the liquid is not easily leaked or contaminated during storage; the connection design between the mist guide tube and the dual fumigation chambers enables a single set of atomizing components to simultaneously supply mist to both eyes.

[0016] Furthermore, the massage component includes an annular support and several support rods fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive cavity; the ends of the support rods away from the bottom wall of the drive cavity are fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular support; several internal helical gears corresponding one-to-one with acupoint rods are rotatably fitted on the annular support; annular grooves are opened on the annular support; annular racks are slidably fitted in the annular grooves; several toothed rods are fixedly connected to the top of the annular racks; the toothed rods mesh with the toothed grooves on the inner side of the internal helical gears; several protrusions are circumferentially fixedly connected to the side walls of the internal helical gears; the protrusions are used to push the adjacent acupoint rods.

[0017] Beneficial effects: The ring rack drives multiple sets of racks to synchronously drive the internal helical gear, realizing the coordinated movement of multiple acupoint rods and ensuring the regularity of acupoint massage; the circumferential distribution of the protrusions makes the pushing motion of the acupoint rods form a reciprocating pressing action, simulating professional massage techniques and enhancing the acupoint stimulation effect.

[0018] Furthermore, each drive cavity is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the rotation of the ring rack; the drive assembly includes a controller and a drive component fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive cavity, and a gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive component, the gear meshing with the ring rack.

[0019] Beneficial effects: A single drive unit drives multiple massage units through a gear-ring rack transmission method, which simplifies the drive structure and reduces the energy consumption of the equipment.

[0020] Furthermore, each goggle is equipped with a fitting component for conforming to the eye socket; the fitting component includes an annular airbag fixedly connected to the side wall of the goggle, with a deflation tube connected to the side wall of the annular airbag; a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive chamber, a piston cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod, a piston column is slidably fitted inside the piston cylinder, a crank is hinged to the end of the piston column away from the piston cylinder, and the end of the crank away from the piston column is eccentrically hinged to the side wall of the gear; an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe are connected to the side wall of the piston cylinder, and a one-way valve is connected to both the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe; the air inlet pipe is connected to the outside of the goggle, and the air outlet pipe is connected to the annular airbag; the diameter of the deflation tube is smaller than the diameter of the air outlet pipe.

[0021] Beneficial effects: The piston cylinder is driven synchronously by gear rotation, which can realize automatic inflation of the annular airbag without the need for an additional power source, thus improving the integration of the equipment; the one-way valve ensures that the gas flows unidirectionally to the airbag, and the difference in diameter between the deflation pipe and the outlet pipe maintains a stable pressure inside the airbag, which not only ensures that the fumigation chamber is sealed and leak-proof, but also avoids the airbag from over-inflating and compressing the eyes; the annular airbag can adapt to the eye socket contours of different users, improving the sealing and comfort of wearing.

[0022] Furthermore, each eye mask is equipped with a heat therapy component on its side wall for applying heat to acupoints above the eye socket; the heat therapy component includes a graphite heating element embedded in an elastic silicone membrane, and the controller is also used to control the graphite heating element to apply heat to the eye socket.

[0023] Beneficial effects: Graphite heating pads have the characteristics of uniform heat conduction and rapid heating. Embedded in an elastic silicone membrane, they can directly transfer heat to acupoints, ensuring the accuracy of heat application.

[0024] Furthermore, each eye mask is fixedly connected to an exhaust pipe at the bottom, and the exhaust pipe is connected to the adjacent fumigation chamber.

[0025] Beneficial effects: The exhaust pipe allows excess steam and condensate in the fumigation chamber to be discharged in a timely manner, preventing steam from accumulating in the chamber and forming water droplets that fall onto the eyes, thus improving the comfort of the treatment process; at the same time, it keeps the air in the chamber circulating, preventing the stuffiness caused by prolonged closure.

[0026] Furthermore, the diameter of the exhaust pipe is smaller than the diameter of the mist guide pipe.

[0027] Beneficial effects: The differential pipe diameter design maintains a certain concentration of steam in the fumigation chamber, ensuring that the steam from the traditional Chinese medicine comes into full contact with the ocular surface tissue, prolonging the pharmacological action time, and avoiding waste of medicine caused by the steam being discharged too quickly.

[0028] Furthermore, the acupoint rods are positioned one-to-one with the acupoints around the eyes.

[0029] Beneficial effects: The precise design of the acupoint rod, which corresponds precisely to the acupoint, allows the massage force to be applied directly to the target acupoint.

[0030] Furthermore, the acupoints around the eyes include at least three of the following: Qiuhou (GB2), Zanzhu (BL2), Yuyao (EX-HN5), Sizhukong (TE2), Chengqi (ST1), and the orbital margin.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The selected acupoints are all key acupoints closely related to the regulation of tear secretion around the eyes. Stimulation of multiple acupoints can promote the comprehensive secretion of both basal and reflexive tears through the synergistic effect of multiple nerve reflex arcs. At the same time, massaging these acupoints can also relieve tension in the muscles around the eyes, improve eye fatigue, and achieve the dual effects of treating dryness and protecting the eyes.

[0032] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:

[0045] Implementation, for example, attached Figure 1 As shown: A dry eye fumigation, hot compress, and massage therapy device includes a therapy device body and an elastic strap 2, both ends of which are fixedly connected to the therapy device body by screws; it also includes an atomizing component for atomizing traditional Chinese medicine liquid into traditional Chinese medicine vapor mist.

[0046] The treatment device includes symmetrically arranged eye masks 1, which are hinged together by a hinge structure. The hinge structure allows the two eye masks 1 to be flexibly adjusted in angle according to the distance between the eyes of different users, thus improving the wearing fit. Each eye mask 1 has a fumigation chamber 3 inside, and each eye mask 1 has a drive chamber 4 inside the side wall.

[0047] The eye mask 1 has several sliding channels on its sidewalls, and acupoint rods 5 are slidably fitted into each sliding channel. One end of each acupoint rod 5 extends into the drive cavity 4. An elastic silicone membrane 6 is fixedly adhered to the sidewalls of the eye mask 1. The positions of the acupoint rods 5 correspond one-to-one with the acupoints around the eyes. The acupoints around the eyes include at least three of the following: Qiuhou acupoint, Zanzhu acupoint, Yuyao acupoint, Sizhukong acupoint, Chengqi acupoint, and orbital margin acupoint. In this embodiment, the positions of the acupoint rods 5 correspond to Yuyao acupoint, orbital margin acupoint, and Qiuhou acupoint. These three acupoints are located in the upper, outer, and lower parts of the eye, respectively, forming a triangular stimulation area that can regulate the nerves related to tear secretion.

[0048] Each drive cavity 4 is equipped with a massage component for driving the acupoint rod 5 to push the elastic silicone membrane 6 to reciprocate the pressure on the acupoints above the eye socket; the atomizing component is also used to deliver the Chinese medicine vapor to the fumigation cavity 3 for fumigation of the eyes.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the atomizing assembly includes a liquid storage box 7, an atomizing generator 8, and a mist guide tube 9.

[0050] The liquid storage box 7 is detachably connected to the top of the atomizer 8. The liquid storage box 7 is used to store the traditional Chinese medicine liquid. The top of the liquid storage box 7 has a filling port and a sealing cap. The inlet of the atomizer 8 is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage box 7, allowing the traditional Chinese medicine liquid in the liquid storage box 7 to flow naturally into the atomizer 8 by gravity. In this embodiment, the traditional Chinese medicine liquid is a decoction made from chrysanthemum, wolfberry, and cassia seed in a 3:2:1 ratio. After filtering and cooling, the decoction is injected into the liquid storage box 7. This formula has pharmacological effects of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and moisturizing the surface of the eyes.

[0051] One end of the mist guide tube 9 is connected to the output port of the atomizer 8, and the other end of the mist guide tube 9 passes through the side wall of the goggles 1 and is connected to the fumigation chamber 3. An exhaust pipe 25 is integrally formed at the bottom of each goggles 1, and the exhaust pipe 25 is connected to its adjacent fumigation chamber 3. The diameter of the exhaust pipe 25 is smaller than the diameter of the mist guide tube 9.

[0052] In this embodiment, the mist guide tube 9 is made of heat-insulating silicone tube to prevent the mist from condensing during the delivery process. One end of the mist guide tube 9 is connected to the output port of the atomizer 8, and the other end is divided into two branches through a three-way connector, which pass through the side walls of the two eye masks 1 and are connected to the fumigation chamber 3, so that a single atomizing component can supply mist to both eyes simultaneously, ensuring the consistency of treatment for both eyes.

[0053] In this embodiment, the atomizing generator 8 atomizes the liquid medicine into Chinese medicine vapor mist, which is a prior art. Its principle is to use ultrasonic atomization technology. The ultrasonic transducer inside can break the liquid medicine into droplets of 5-10 micrometers. This embodiment will not go into too much detail.

[0054] Combination Figure 1 As shown, the user places the eye mask 1 on their eye sockets. The user adjusts the tightness of the elastic strap 2 according to their head size. The elastic strap 2 is made of elastic fiber material to ensure that the treatment device can be stably fixed on the head without causing pressure. Since the adjacent eye masks 1 are hinged together, the user can move the two eye masks 1 to adjust their position on the eye sockets.

[0055] Subsequently, the sealed cap of the storage box 7 is opened, and the prepared and cooled traditional Chinese medicine solution is injected into the storage box 7 through the filling port. The sealed cap is closed, and then the atomizer 8 is activated. The ultrasonic transducer inside vibrates at high frequency, atomizing the traditional Chinese medicine solution into a vapor. The vapor is delivered to the fumigation chambers 3 of the two eye masks 1 through the mist guide tube 9. The vapor entering the fumigation chamber 3 makes full contact with the surface of the eyes, moisturizing the eye surface and relieving dryness. On the other hand, the traditional Chinese medicine components are absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes of the eye surface, exerting the pharmacological effects of clearing the liver and improving eyesight, and moisturizing the eye surface. At the same time, because the diameter of the exhaust pipe 25 is smaller than that of the mist guide tube 9, this difference in diameter maintains a slightly positive pressure environment in the fumigation chamber 3, ensuring that the vapor of traditional Chinese medicine makes full contact with the surface tissues of the eyes, while allowing excess vapor and condensed medicine to be slowly discharged.

[0056] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the massage assembly includes a ring-shaped support 10 and several support rods 11 that are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive cavity 4 by screws.

[0057] The end of the support rod 11 away from the bottom wall of the drive cavity 4 and the bottom of the annular bracket 10 are integrally formed. Several internal helical gears 12, corresponding one-to-one with the acupoint rods 5, are rotatably fitted on the annular bracket 10. An annular groove is formed on the annular bracket 10, and an annular rack 13 is slidably fitted within the annular groove. In this embodiment, the annular groove has a "┘" structure, exposing the sidewalls and top of the annular rack 13. Several toothed rods 14 are integrally formed on the top of the annular rack 13, and each toothed rod 14 meshes with the toothed grooves on the inner side of the internal helical gears 12. Several protrusions 15 are integrally formed circumferentially on the sidewalls of the internal helical gears 12. In this embodiment, the protrusions 15 are hemispherical. The protrusions 15 are used to actuate the adjacent acupoint rods 5. Each drive cavity 4 is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the rotation of the annular rack 13.

[0058] like Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the drive assembly includes a controller and a drive component fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive cavity 4 by screws. In this embodiment, the drive component is a stepper motor 16; a gear 17 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 16 by screws, and the gear 17 meshes with the ring rack 13. Each eye mask 1 is provided with a fitting component for conforming to the eye socket.

[0059] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when it is necessary to massage the acupoints on the eye socket, the output shaft of the stepper motor 16 is rotated by the controller. At this time, the stepper motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate. Since the gear 17 meshes with the teeth on the side wall of the ring rack 13, it can drive the ring rack 13 to rotate in the ring groove on the ring bracket 10, thereby driving the rack 14 on it to rotate.

[0060] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, since all racks 14 mesh with the inner tooth slots of the internal helical gears 12, when the rack 14 rotates to the tooth slot entrance of the internal helical gears 12, a radial component force is generated along the inclination direction of the tooth slot. Under the rotational engagement of the internal helical gears 12 and the annular support 10, this radial component force is converted into the rotational torque of the internal helical gears 12, causing the internal helical gears 12 to rotate around their own axis by one tooth pitch. Subsequently, the next rack 14 engages with the next tooth slot of the internal helical gears 12, repeating the above transmission process, so as to realize the continuous rotation of the annular rack 13 driving the synchronous rotation of all internal helical gears 12.

[0061] Combination Figure 7 As shown, since several hemispherical protrusions 15 are integrally formed on the side wall of the inner helical gear 12, when the inner helical gear 12 rotates, the protrusions 15 will periodically contact the end of the acupoint rod 5 extending to the drive cavity 4 and generate a pushing force. When the highest point of the spherical surface of the protrusion 15 contacts the bottom end of the acupoint rod 5, the top of the acupoint rod 5 can push the elastic silicone membrane 6 to make it protrude. Since the acupoint rod 5 is set in the positions of the Yuyao acupoint, the orbital rim acupoint, and the posterior acupoint, the protrusion can gently press the Yuyao acupoint, the orbital rim acupoint, and the posterior acupoint. When the spherical surface of the protrusion 15 slides away from the surface of the acupoint rod 5, the acupoint rod 5 returns to its original position under the action of the elastic silicone membrane 6, waiting for the push of the next protrusion 15. Through the continuous rotation of the internal helical gear 12, the acupoint rod 5 achieves reciprocating linear motion, driving the elastic silicone membrane 6 to perform a stable frequency of pressing massage on the acupoint. The pressing frequency is positively correlated with the speed of the stepper motor 16. In this embodiment, the speed can be adjusted to 10-30 r / min by the controller, corresponding to a massage frequency of 10-30 times per minute, to meet the tolerance needs of different users.

[0062] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the fitting assembly includes an annular airbag 18 fixedly bonded to the side wall of the goggles 1, with an air release tube connected to the side wall of the annular airbag 18; a connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the drive chamber 4 by screws, a piston cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 19 by screws, a piston column 21 is slidably fitted inside the piston cylinder 20, a crank 22 is hinged to the end of the piston column 21 away from the piston cylinder 20, and the end of the crank 22 away from the piston column 21 is eccentrically hinged to the side wall of the gear 17.

[0063] The piston cylinder 20 has an inlet pipe 23 and an outlet pipe 24 connected to its side wall, and both the inlet pipe 23 and the outlet pipe 24 are connected to a one-way valve.

[0064] The air inlet pipe 23 is connected to the outside of the eye mask 1, and the air outlet pipe 24 is connected to the annular airbag 18; the diameter of the air release pipe is smaller than the diameter of the air outlet pipe 24. The side walls of the eye mask 1 are equipped with heat therapy components for applying heat to acupoints above the eye sockets.

[0065] Combination Figure 3 As shown, during the simultaneous massage and fumigation process, when the stepper motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate, the crank 22 eccentrically hinged to its side wall will also rotate synchronously, thereby driving the piston column 21 to reciprocate within the piston cylinder 20.

[0066] When the piston rod 21 moves upward, the space inside the piston cylinder 20 decreases, generating positive pressure. Under the action of the one-way valve in the exhaust pipe 24, the gas inside the piston cylinder 20 enters the annular airbag 18. When the piston rod 21 moves downward, the space inside the piston cylinder 20 increases, generating negative pressure. Under the action of the one-way valve in the intake pipe 23, outside air is drawn into the piston cylinder 20 through the intake pipe 23.

[0067] As the piston rod 21 reciprocates continuously within the piston cylinder 20, the annular airbag 18 inflates. Due to its flexibility, the annular airbag 18 can adapt to the shape of different users' eye sockets without manual adjustment. Simultaneously, the annular airbag 18 closely conforms to the contour of the eye socket, preventing leakage of the herbal vapor from the fumigation chamber 3 and avoiding excessive pressure on the eyes, thus improving wearing comfort and treatment sealing. Because the diameter of the deflation tube of the annular airbag 18 is smaller than the diameter of the outlet tube 24, excess gas is discharged from the deflation tube, keeping the pressure inside the airbag stable at a constant value.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, specifically, the heat therapy component includes a graphite heating element (not shown) embedded in an elastic silicone membrane 6, and a controller is used to control the heating of the graphite heating element to apply heat to the eye socket.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 As shown, with simultaneous fumigation and massage, the controller synchronously activates the graphite heating element embedded in the elastic silicone membrane 6, rapidly raising its temperature to the 40-45℃ range required for heat therapy. The heat is directly transferred to the acupoints around the eyes through the elastic silicone membrane 6, dilating blood vessels and accelerating local blood circulation, making it easier for the pharmacological components produced by the herbal fumigation to be absorbed by the ocular surface tissue through the skin and mucous membranes. The herbal vapor continuously acts on the ocular surface under the micro-positive pressure environment within the fumigation chamber 3, while the massage stimulates the nerve reflex arc at acupoints, promoting the secretion of both basal and reflexive tears, fundamentally improving ocular surface moisture. These three elements form a synergistic treatment mechanism of "heat therapy promoting absorption, fumigation moisturizing the ocular surface, and massage promoting secretion," effectively overcoming the limitations of traditional single-treatment methods.

[0070] This solution integrates traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, acupoint massage, and hot compress into a single structure, simplifying the complexity of dry eye treatment and reducing the size of the device. The synergistic effect of these three elements enhances the treatment efficacy for dry eye. Furthermore, the massage component employs a mechanical transmission structure, ensuring stable and controllable pressure and frequency at acupoints, eliminating the need for manual operation and lowering the barrier to entry for use, making it suitable for daily home care.

[0071] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
