[0025] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 3As shown, a stable tear collection device comprises a tear collection seat 30 for collecting tears, a height adjustment cylinder 10 for adjusting the height of the tear collection seat 30, and a length adjustment cylinder 20 for adjusting the horizontal position of the tear collection seat 30. A pressing device 40 is installed on the top of the tear collection seat 30; the length adjustment cylinder 20 is vertically installed on the piston rod 11 of the height adjustment cylinder 10; the tear collection seat 30 is installed at the end of the guide rod 21 of the length adjustment cylinder 20; a hollow collection balloon 31 is embedded in the end of the tear collection seat 30 away from the guide rod 21, a capillary 32 is installed on the collection balloon 31, a threaded connection groove 34 is opened at the end of the tear collection seat 30, and a threaded connection ring seat 33 that matches the size of the threaded connection groove 34 and is threadedly connected is installed on the outer wall of the collection balloon 31. By arranging the height adjustment cylinder 10, the height of the tear collection seat 30 can be flexibly adjusted as needed. Flexible adjustment facilitates the tear collection of different groups of people. By vertically installing the length adjusting cylinder 20 on the piston rod 11 of the height adjusting cylinder 10, the horizontal position of the tear collecting seat 30 can be accurately adjusted. The pressing device 40 installed on the top of the tear collecting seat 30 can provide stable pressure during the collection process to ensure that the collection balloon 31 is in close contact with the tears, thereby effectively collecting the tears. The collection balloon 31 is the main collection component, which is designed as a hollow structure and is equipped with a capillary 32, so that the tears can be smoothly sucked into the collection balloon 31 through the capillary 32, thereby achieving efficient and lossless collection. The threaded connection groove 34 opened at the end of the tear collecting seat 30 and the threaded connection ring seat 33 installed on the outer wall of the collection balloon 31 are of compatible sizes and are connected by threads, so that the collection balloon 31 can be easily replaced and cleaned, thereby improving the practicability and hygiene of the device.

[0027] Furthermore, a mounting base 12 for fixing on the slit lamp stand is installed at the bottom of the height adjustment cylinder 10, so that the entire device can be stably fixed on the slit lamp stand.

[0028] Specifically, the collection balloon 31 is made of a hollow transparent ellipsoidal medical-grade PP material with a thickness of 0.5-1 mm, and has excellent transparency and durability. The balloon is marked with scales to achieve quantitative collection of tears.

[0029] It is worth noting that the diameter of the capillary 32 is 0.1-0.3 mm, which ensures that the tear fluid can smoothly pass through the capillary into the collection balloon.

[0030] Among them, the pressing device 40 includes a pressing rod 41 which is plugged into the top surface of the tear collection seat 30 and a pressing base 42 installed at the bottom of the pressing rod 41. The bottom surface of the pressing base 42 is in contact with the outer wall of the collection balloon 31. Through the cooperation between the pressing rod 41 and the pressing base 42, the pressing rod can apply stable pressure to the collection balloon during the collection process. The pressing base 42 is in contact with the outer wall of the collection balloon to ensure uniform distribution of pressure.

[0031] In addition, a pressing plate 43 is coaxially installed on the top surface of the pressing rod 41, and a return spring 44 is wound on the outer wall of the pressing rod 41. The return spring 44 is arranged between the pressing plate 43 and the outer wall of the tear collection seat 30. The pressing plate 43 on the top surface of the pressing rod facilitates the operation of medical staff, and the setting of the return spring 44 enables the pressing rod to automatically reset after the pressing plate is released, which is convenient for the next collection.

[0032] It should be noted that the utility model is a stable tear collection device, and the specific process is as follows: the medical staff ensures that the device is placed on a stable slit lamp stand, and adjusts the height adjustment cylinder 10 according to the object of tear collection. By operating the height adjustment cylinder 10, the piston rod 11 is extended and retracted, thereby driving the entire tear collection seat 30 to rise to a suitable height to adapt to the eye height of different people. The horizontal position of the tear collection seat 30 is accurately adjusted by the length adjustment cylinder 20. When the position of the tear collection seat 30 is adjusted, the pressing device 40 can be started. The pressing device 40 is located at the top of the tear collection seat 30. It will provide stable pressure during the collection process. During the collection process, the tears will be smoothly sucked into the collection balloon 31 through the capillary 32. After the collection is completed, the collection balloon 31 can be disassembled by rotating the threaded connection ring seat 33.

[0033] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
