Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a meibomian gland heating and fumigation device for patients with dry eyes. Background Art

[0002] Dry eye is a chronic ocular surface disease caused by multiple factors. Its core characteristics are tear film instability and imbalance of the ocular surface microenvironment, which may be accompanied by ocular surface inflammatory response, tissue damage and nerve abnormalities. It causes discomfort symptoms such as dry eyes, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, itchy eyes, eye pain, red eyes, blurred vision and (or) visual dysfunction. Meibomian gland dysfunction is the main cause of dry eyes. About 60% of dry eye patients have varying degrees of meibomian gland dysfunction. At present, one of the important treatment methods for this disease is to use a wet towel to warm the eyelids to promote local blood circulation in the eyes, reduce inflammation, dissolve meibomian fat and increase the fluidity of meibomian fat to relieve discomfort symptoms such as dry eyes. In order to achieve a good therapeutic effect, the wet towel needs to be maintained at 40℃-42℃ at all times, and the patient has to change the towel repeatedly, which makes the patient feel great inconvenience, which leads to poor medical compliance. Traditional fumigation devices are not easy to carry and need to be treated in the hospital, which not only consumes the patient's energy but also increases the patient's economic burden. The limited number of treatments per week in the hospital prolongs the patient's treatment cycle and causes pain to the patient's body and mind. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model is intended to provide a meibomian gland heating and fumigation device for patients with dry eyes, so as to solve the problems inconvenient hot and wet compresses on the eyes and inconvenient portability of traditional fumigation devices as mentioned in the above background technology.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] The basic technical solution provided by the utility model is: a meibomian gland heating and fumigation device for dry eye patients, comprising a water tank, an eye mask and an air pipe, a heating plate is arranged at the bottom of the water tank, a temperature sensor is arranged at the top of the water tank, a control panel is arranged on the outer surface of the water tank, a water inlet and a mist outlet are arranged at the top of the water tank, a cover is movably connected to the water inlet, the mist outlet is connected to the connecting pipe outlet on the eye mask through the air pipe, the connecting pipe is fixed to the upper side wall inside the eye mask, an air vent is arranged at the bottom of the connecting pipe, the eye mask is provided with a groove corresponding to the eye, a heating sheet is arranged in the groove, and a massage component is arranged in the eye mask.

[0006] The principle and beneficial effects of the basic technical solution are as follows: Chinese medicine bags or liquid medicine are added to the water tank, and the liquid medicine is heated by a heating plate. After heating, the air pressure is generated in the water tank, and the generated hot air flows through the air pipe to the connecting pipe of the eye mask. An air hole is provided at the bottom of the connecting pipe, and the hot air flows along the air hole to the eyes for hot compress. The solution can set the temperature of the heated liquid medicine through the control panel. When the temperature sensor in the water tank senses that the temperature is lower than the set value, the controller starts the heating plate for heating. When the temperature is heated to a certain temperature, the controller disconnects the heating plate and stops heating. The solution can keep the patient's eyes at a suitable temperature, improves the effect of hot compress, and facilitates the patient's use. A massage component is provided in the eye mask to promote blood circulation in the eyes and improve the treatment effect.

[0007] Preferably, the massage assembly comprises a plurality of massage rods, the tops of the massage rods are wrapped with a rubber layer, micro vibration motors are arranged inside the massage rods, and limit blocks are arranged on the massage rods, and the limit blocks are movably connected in the grooves of the eye masks.

[0008] Through the above arrangement, the vibration motor massage stick vibrates to press the eyes, thereby promoting blood circulation in the eyes and improving the treatment effect. The rubber layer wrapped around the massage stick is elastic to avoid discomfort to the eyes.

[0009] Preferably, an ultrasonic atomizer is provided under the mist outlet of the water tank.

[0010] Through the above arrangement, the drug solution can be atomized to promote the absorption of the drug solution by the eyes.

[0011] Preferably, elastic bands are arranged on both sides of the eye mask, and corresponding Velcro strips are arranged on the elastic bands.

[0012] Through the above settings, the elastic band can be retracted and adjusted to adapt to patients with different face shapes, and the Velcro is used for fixation.

[0013] Preferably, a nose bridge supporting hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of the eye mask.

[0014] Through the above arrangement, the eye mask is further stabilized and supported by the bridge of the nose to prevent the eye mask from sliding down.

[0015] Preferably, a battery, a second temperature sensor and a controller are arranged in the eye mask, and a switch button is arranged on the eye mask.

[0016] Through the above settings, the temperature of the heating plate is controlled by the temperature sensor and the controller to avoid burns caused by excessive temperature. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
