[0029] As Figure 3 and 4 As shown in

[0030] Figure 5 Three-dimensional view of a conventional eye drop bottle under the prior art.

[0031] As Figure 5 shown, the commonly used eye drop bottle 90 at present includes a bottle body 91, a bottle mouth 92 with an external thread and communicating with the bottle body 91, and a dropper 93 communicating with the bottle mouth 92.

[0032] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, a fixing hole 10a with an internal thread is vertically penetrated through the center position of the fixing plate 10, and the fixing hole 10a with an internal thread is detachably screwed with the bottle mouth 92 with an external thread in a matching manner.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the anti-falling protective cover 20 is arranged at the fixing hole 10a on the upper surface of the fixing plate 10. The anti-falling protective cover 20 is a hollow hose with an inner diameter not less than the cross-sectional diameter of the bottle body 91 and the axis thereof passes through the center of the fixing hole 10a. The height of the anti-falling protective cover 20 is less than the height of the bottle body 91. Specifically, in this embodiment, the material of the anti-falling protective cover 20 is soft liquid silicone.

[0034] There are two clamping plates 30 , which are rotatably hinged on two opposite sides of the fixing plate 10 , and the two clamping plates 30 are both located on the same side above the fixing plate 10 .

[0035] There are two extrusion blocks 40 , which are respectively protruded from one side surface of the corresponding two clamps 30 close to the anti-fall protection cover 20 . The length of the extrusion block 40 from the connection between the clamp 30 and the fixing plate 10 is less than the height of the bottle body 91 .

[0036] The anti-slip mechanism 50 is disposed on the other side of the clamping plate 30 opposite to the extrusion block 40 . The anti-slip mechanism 50 in this embodiment is a plurality of long strip protrusions protruding from the clamping plate 30 and distributed in an array.

[0037] There are two connecting rods 60, which extend downward from the center of the bottom ends of the two clamping plates 30, and rotate relative to the fixed plate 10 along with the clamping plates 30. Specifically, the connecting rods 60 and the clamping plates 30 in this embodiment are coplanar.

[0041] Figure 6 A three-dimensional diagram of the auxiliary eye drops device in the embodiment of the utility model when an eye drops bottle is fixed.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the use process of the device 100 for assisting in dropping eye drops is as follows:

[0043] First, insert the bottle body 91 of the eye drop bottle 90 into the anti-falling protection sleeve 20. The bottle mouth 92 is screwed and fixed to the fixing hole 10a through mutually matching threads. At this time, a part of the bottle body 91 is wrapped by the anti-falling protection sleeve 20, and a part protrudes outside the anti-falling protection sleeve 20. The dropper 93 passes through the fixing hole 10a and extends vertically downward for a short distance.

[0044] Then, grasp the two clamping plates 30 and rotate them relative to each other around the fixing plate 10 in the m direction, so that the two pressing blocks 40 squeeze the bottle body 91 inward and act together to drip the eye drops inside the bottle body 91 through the dropper 93; while grasping the two clamping plates 30, the two connecting rods 60 are driven by the clamping plates 30 to rotate relative to each other in the n direction, thereby driving the spreading rod 70 to spread the user's eyelids and receive the eye drops dripped by the dropper 93 at this time.

[0045] Functions and effects of the embodiment

[0046] According to an eye drop assisting device provided by this embodiment, because it includes: a fixing plate with a vertically penetrating fixing hole in the middle, the inner diameter of the fixing hole matching the diameter of the bottle mouth of the eye drop bottle; an anti-falling protection sleeve arranged at the fixing hole on one side surface of the fixing plate, the anti-falling protection sleeve being a hollow hose with an inner diameter not less than the cross-sectional diameter of the bottle body of the eye drop bottle, and the central axis of the anti-falling protection sleeve passing through the center of the fixing hole; a pair of clamping plates respectively rotatably connected to two opposite sides of the fixing plate, the two clamping plates being on the same side of the fixing plate; a pair of pressing blocks respectively arranged on the surface of the corresponding clamping plate close to the anti-falling protection sleeve, the length of the pressing block from the connection of the clamping plate and the fixing plate being less than the height of the bottle body of the eye drop bottle; a pair of connecting rods respectively extending from one end of the corresponding clamping plate and being on both sides of the fixing plate with the clamping plate; a pair of spreading rods, the middle section of which is fixed at the end of the extension of the connecting rod, the two spreading rods being used to cooperate with each other to spread the user's eyelids; and a cushioning material arranged on the spreading rod and covering at least the lower surface of the spreading rod, the cushioning material being a soft and skin-friendly material.

[0047] Therefore, the eye drop assisting device of this embodiment can assist the user in squeezing the eye drop bottle while spreading the eyelids to make the eye drops drip into the user's eyes, improving the accuracy of eye dropping. At the same time, the eye drop assisting device of this embodiment can firmly fix the eye drop bottle during the process of eye dropping and spreading the eyelids, making it not easy to fall.

[0048] Furthermore, the fixing hole is an internal thread hole, and the internal thread hole matches the external thread of the bottle mouth of the eye drop bottle. Such a setting further enhances the firmness of the whole device in fixing the eye drop bottle, making it not easy to fall off easily.

[0049] Furthermore, the height of the anti-fall protection sleeve is less than the height of the body of the eye drops bottle. Such a setting facilitates the user to take out or fix the eye drops bottle in the whole device, and the anti-fall protection sleeve will not add difficulty to the user in taking out or fixing the eye drops bottle due to being too long.

[0050] Furthermore, the material of the anti-fall protection sleeve includes soft liquid silicone. Such a setting enables the extrusion block to smoothly extrude the eye drops bottle.

[0051] Furthermore, an anti-slip mechanism is provided on the other side of the clamping plate opposite to the extrusion block. The anti-slip mechanism includes any one or more of an anti-slip coating, a number of protrusions or a number of grooves. Such a setting increases the friction between the user and the hand when using the whole device, and it is not easy to slip out of the hand.

[0052] Furthermore, the spreading rod is arc-shaped, and both ends of the arc-shaped spreading rod extend towards the anti-fall protection sleeve. Such a setting makes the spreading rod more conform to the eyelid and eyeball structure of the user, increasing comfort.

[0053] Furthermore, the material of the cushioning material includes non-toxic and hypoallergenic liquid silicone, and the cushioning material is fixedly adhered to the spreading rod by non-toxic glue. Such a setting makes it safer to spread the eyelids, will not cause chemical harm to the user, and reduces the risk of damaging the cornea during operation errors.

[0054] Furthermore, the material of the fixing plate, the clamping plate, the extrusion block, the connecting rod or the spreading rod includes any one or more of PVC plastic, wood, non-toxic metal, alloy or carbon fiber. Such a setting gives the whole device a certain strength.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. What is described in the above embodiments and the specification only illustrates the principle of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and these changes and improvements all fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed. The scope of protection claimed by the present utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
