Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an eye massager. Background Technology

[0002] Eye massagers are widely used in clinical practice and daily health care as auxiliary medical devices to relieve eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms. However, existing eye massagers mainly rely on single airbag pressure or simple heat therapy functions, which have problems such as limited functionality, low comfort, and lack of targeted care.

[0003] In recent years, some eye massagers targeting dry eye syndrome have emerged, such as CN224585142U, a spray device and eye massager. This device forms a 4-axis relationship between the plane of the atomizing nozzle's spray axis and the plane of the heating element assembly. Despite a small included angle of 6 degrees, the device still has the following shortcomings: (1) When the micro water pump is working intermittently, the liquid in the pipeline will flow back due to gravity during the interval when the pump stops running, which will cause a brief dry suction phenomenon when the pump is restarted, resulting in interruption or uneven atomization, affecting the consistency of the nursing experience.

[0004] (2) The moisture and water vapor generated by atomization accumulate in the massage cavity to form condensate. If the condensate wets the surface of the massage airbag, it will not only accelerate the aging of the airbag material and shorten its service life, but may also breed bacteria and affect hygiene and safety.

[0005] (3) When the massage airbag is inflated, a certain air pressure environment needs to be maintained in the massage cavity to ensure the pressing effect. However, the setting of the dehumidification structure often contradicts the airtightness requirements of the cavity. How to achieve effective dehumidification while ensuring the massage effect of the airbag is a problem that the existing technology has not yet solved properly. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an eye massager.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is implemented as follows: This invention provides an eye massager, comprising: The main body of the massager is designed for wearing around the user's eyes. The main body of the massager has a massage cavity that conforms to the contour of the eye. The massage cavity contains symmetrically distributed inflatable and deflated massage airbags. The main body of the massager integrates a micro air pump, and the air outlet of the micro air pump is connected to the air passage interface of the massage airbags through a flexible airflow tube. The upper side wall of the massager body is symmetrically provided with a liquid storage space water tank, and a detachable water tank is inserted into the water tank. The water tank stores distilled water or eye care solution. Inside the massage chamber, an atomizing seat located at the top of the inner wall of the massage chamber forms an atomizing area. An ultrasonic atomizing plate is provided inside the atomizing seat. The massage airbag is set in the lower middle part of the inner wall of the massage chamber to form a massage area. The atomizing area and the massage area form a height difference in the vertical direction. The fine mist generated by atomization naturally settles and acts on the eyes under the action of gravity. At the same time, the condensate generated during the atomization process collects downward along the inner wall of the massage chamber and is discharged through the bottom vent hole. A safety pressure relief valve is provided in the bottom vent hole. The atomizing seat is fluidly connected to the water replenishment tank through the atomizing component. The water replenishment tank is provided with a guide channel to guide the liquid to flow evenly to the input end of the atomizing component. Elastic fixing blocks extend from the left and right sides of the main body of the massager, and an elastic band is tensioned between the two elastic fixing blocks. The outer surface of the main body of the massager is covered with a light-shielding protective cover.

[0008] In one embodiment, the atomizing component includes a liquid supply component, which includes a micro water pump. The inlet of the micro water pump is connected to the bottom of the guide channel via a first water pipe, and the outlet of the micro water pump is connected to the liquid inlet of the atomizing seat via a second water pipe. The guide channel is distributed in a mesh pattern and is used to collect and guide the liquid in the replenishment tank to the inlet of the micro water pump. The width of the guide channel is smaller than the diameter of the micro water pump inlet. The first water pipe is provided with a one-way valve to prevent the liquid from flowing back into the guide channel.

[0009] In one embodiment, the atomizing seat is provided with a liquid storage chamber, the outlet end of the second water pipe is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage chamber, the ultrasonic atomizing plate is disposed at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber, and the micro water pump is used to pump liquid into the liquid storage chamber so that the liquid covers the surface of the ultrasonic atomizing plate. The ultrasonic atomizing plate atomizes the liquid covering its surface into a fine mist through high-frequency vibration.

[0010] In one embodiment, the light-shielding protective cover is in the form of a hemispherical arch structure, and a preset distance is maintained between the light-shielding protective cover and the main body shell of the massager. Strip-shaped ventilation grooves are provided at the upper edge, lower edge, left edge and right edge of the light-shielding protective cover.

[0011] In one embodiment, a second venting hole is transversely formed on the inner wall of the massage cavity, in the area between the two massage airbags. The second venting hole leads directly to the outside of the massager body. A one-way venting valve is provided in the second venting hole. The one-way venting valve only allows the gas in the massage cavity to be discharged to the outside and prevents the outside air from flowing in the opposite direction. The opening pressure of the safety pressure relief valve provided in the first venting hole is higher than the maximum air pressure of the massage cavity in the massage working state. This allows the safety pressure relief valve to remain closed during the normal inflation and massage phase of the airbags to maintain the air pressure stability in the massage cavity. When the air pressure in the massage cavity exceeds the safe pressure limit, the safety pressure relief valve opens to discharge air. It can also be opened separately in the non-massage state to discharge the condensate water accumulated at the bottom of the massage cavity.

[0012] In one embodiment, a sealing plug is snapped into the top opening of the water replenishment tank. The sealing plug is made of a hydrophobic and non-slip material, and its lower part is inserted into the water replenishment tank to form a sealed fit.

[0013] In one embodiment, the massager body has a medical-grade silicone pad covering the side facing the user's eyes.

[0014] In one embodiment, the massager body is further provided with a central controller, which is electrically connected to the high-frequency drive circuit of the micro air pump, the micro water pump and the ultrasonic atomizing plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: First, by setting a one-way valve to prevent liquid backflow at the first water pipe or the inlet of the micro water pump, combined with the gravity water replenishment design with the water replenishment box located above, the problem of air suction caused by liquid backflow during intermittent pumping of the micro water pump is completely solved, ensuring the continuity of atomization output; at the same time, the multiple intersections of the mesh guide channel form a liquid collection area, allowing the liquid to converge towards the inlet of the micro water pump through multiple paths, ensuring the uniformity of water supply.

[0016] Secondly, by placing the atomizing seat at the top of the massage cavity and the massage airbag in the middle and lower part, a height difference is created in the vertical direction, allowing the fine mist to naturally settle and act on the eyes under the action of gravity. The condensed water collects and is discharged downward along the cavity wall, thus achieving functional isolation between the atomizing area and the massage area. This avoids the atomizing liquid from wetting and contaminating the airbag, extends the service life of the airbag, and reduces the risk of bacterial growth.

[0017] Third, the two ventilation holes are independently equipped with one-way ventilation valves and safety pressure relief valves. The one-way ventilation valve can be opened when a slight positive pressure is generated in the massage chamber to continuously expel moisture, while the safety pressure relief valve only opens when the air pressure exceeds the safety limit. Combined with the spatial layout of the ventilation holes being lower than the lowest stroke position of the airbag, moisture can be effectively expelled without affecting the airbag inflation massage effect, and the airbag expansion can be prevented from blocking the ventilation holes.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides an eye massager designed to achieve highly effective eye care through a combination of pneumatic massage and ultrasonic atomization. The device mainly includes a massager body 1 with a shell structure for wearing on the user's eyes. The massager body 1 has a massage cavity 2 that conforms to the contours of the human eye to provide a comfortable, enveloping feel. Inflatable and deflated massage airbags 3 are symmetrically distributed within the massage cavity 2, typically located at positions corresponding to the upper and lower eyelids. The massager body 1 integrates a micro air pump 4, whose outlet port is connected to the air passage interface of the massage airbags 3 via a flexible airflow tube.

[0021] To provide moisturizing care, the upper side wall of the massager body 1 is symmetrically provided with a liquid storage space, a water replenishment tank 5. A detachable water replenishment box 6 is inserted into the water replenishment tank 5. The bottom of the water replenishment box 6 has a water outlet communicating with the water replenishment tank 5, allowing the liquid in the water replenishment box 6 to flow into the water replenishment tank 5 by gravity. The water replenishment box 6 stores distilled water or eye care solution. When the water replenishment tank 5 is not in use, it can be sealed with a sealing plug 14 to prevent dust. The top of the inner wall of the massage cavity 2, above the massage airbag 3, is provided with an atomizing seat 7 to form an atomizing area; while the massage airbag 3 is located in the lower middle part of the inner wall of the massage cavity 2 to form a massage area. The atomizing area and the massage area form a height difference in the vertical direction, so that the fine mist generated by atomization naturally settles and acts on the eyes under the action of gravity, avoiding direct splashing into the eyes and causing discomfort.

[0022] The atomizing base 7 is fluidly connected to the water supply tank 5 via the atomizing component. Specifically, the atomizing component includes a liquid supply component, which includes a micro water pump 71. The inlet of the micro water pump 71 is connected to the bottom of the guide channel 8 via a first water pipe 72, which is equipped with a one-way valve to prevent liquid backflow. The outlet of the micro water pump 71 is connected to the liquid inlet of the atomizing base 7 via a second water pipe 73. The water supply tank 5 has a guide channel 8 inside to guide the liquid to flow evenly to the input end of the atomizing component. The guide channel is distributed in a mesh pattern, and the width of the channel is smaller than the diameter of the inlet of the micro water pump 71. Multiple intersections form a liquid collection area, which is used to collect the liquid in the water supply tank 5 and guide it to the inlet of the micro water pump 71.

[0023] Furthermore, the atomizing base 7 is provided with a liquid storage chamber, and the outlet of the second water pipe 73 is connected to the inlet of the liquid storage chamber. An ultrasonic atomizing plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage chamber. The micro water pump 71 is used to pump liquid into the liquid storage chamber, so that the liquid covers the surface of the ultrasonic atomizing plate 12. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 12 atomizes the liquid covering its surface into micron-sized fine mist through high-frequency vibration.

[0024] For secure wearing, elastic fixing blocks 9 extend from the left and right sides of the massager body 1, and an elastic band 10 is tensioned and connected between the two elastic fixing blocks 9. The outer surface of the massager body 1 is covered with a light-shielding protective cover 11.

[0025] To balance shielding and ventilation, the light-shielding protective cover 11 has a hemispherical arched structure, and a preset distance is maintained between the light-shielding protective cover 11 and the housing of the massager body 1. In the air circulation channel formed by this preset distance, strip-shaped ventilation grooves 17 are provided at the upper edge, lower edge, left edge and right edge of the light-shielding protective cover 11.

[0026] To address the issue of moisture buildup inside the massage chamber, a moisture venting hole 13 is horizontally provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the massage chamber 2, in the area below the massage airbag 3. The moisture venting hole 13 extends directly to the outside of the massager body 1. A safety pressure relief valve is provided in the first vent 13. A second vent 18 is also provided transversely through the area between the massage airbags 3 on the inner wall of the massage chamber 2. The second vent 18 leads directly to the outside of the massager body 1. A one-way vent valve is provided in the second vent 18. The one-way vent valve only allows the gas in the massage chamber 2 to be discharged to the outside and prevents the outside air from flowing in the opposite direction. The opening pressure of the safety pressure relief valve provided in the first vent 13 is higher than the maximum air pressure of the massage chamber 2 in the massage working state. This allows the safety pressure relief valve to remain closed during the normal inflation and massage phase of the airbags to maintain the air pressure stability in the massage chamber 2. When the air pressure in the massage chamber 2 exceeds the safe pressure limit, the safety pressure relief valve opens to discharge air. It can also be opened separately in the non-massage state to discharge the condensate water accumulated at the bottom of the massage chamber 2.

[0027] In terms of sealing and maintenance details, the top opening of the water replenishment tank 5 is fitted with a sealing plug 14, which is made of hydrophobic and non-slip material, and its lower part is inserted into the water replenishment tank 5 to form a sealing fit.

[0028] In terms of skin-friendliness and safety, the massager body 1 has a medical-grade silicone pad 15 covering the side facing the user's eyes, close to the skin.

[0029] In order to achieve intelligent control, the massager body 1 is also equipped with a central controller 16, which is electrically connected to the high-frequency drive circuit of the micro air pump 4, the micro water pump 71 and the ultrasonic atomizing plate 12.
