[0020] The concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present utility model. Description of the drawings

[0021] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a thermokinetic meibomian gland therapeutic apparatus of a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. Detailed implementation manners

[0022] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0023] In the following description, specific details such as specific internal programs and technologies are presented for the purpose of illustration rather than limitation, so as to thoroughly understand the embodiments of the present utility model. However, those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model can also be implemented in other embodiments without these specific details. In other cases, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted to avoid unnecessary details from interfering with the description of the present utility model.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a thermokinetic tarsal gland therapeutic apparatus, including: a first handle 10, a second handle 20 movably connected to the first handle 10, and a spring clip 30 for connecting the first handle 10 and the second handle 20. The spring clip 30 is used for receiving force between the first handle 10 and the second handle 20, so that one end of the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 approaches each other, and the spring clip 30 is in a compressed state. When the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 are in an unused state, one end of the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 is in a close state, so that the operator's hand does not need to exert force all the time, avoiding fatigue of the operator's hand caused by long-term operation.

[0025] The first handle 10 includes a first pressing section 11 and a first handle section 12 detachably connected to the first pressing section 11; the second handle 20 includes a second pressing section 21 and a second handle section 22 detachably connected to the second pressing section 21, so that during use, the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 can be replaced in time, or removed for disinfection; the thickness of the first handle 10 gradually decreases from the end close to the first pressing section 11 to the end far from the first pressing section 11; the thickness of the second handle section 22 gradually decreases from the end close to the second pressing section 21 to the end far from the second pressing section 21. One end of the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22 is provided with anti-slip rubber, so that when the operator holds the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22, it is avoided that the hand slips between the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22 during force application, causing damage to the eyes. When the pressure of the spring clip 30 on the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 is insufficient, the hand can continue to apply pressure to the first handle 10 and the second handle 20, or when the pressure of the spring clip 30 on the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 is too large, the hand can apply force to the first handle 10 and the second handle 20 to reduce the pressure of the spring clip 30 on the first handle 10 and the second handle 20. One end of the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22 is in a thickened state, which greatly facilitates the operator to hold the first handle 10 and the second handle 20, so that when operating the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22, there will be no slipping or inconvenient grasping situation.

[0026] The ends of the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 are both in a teardrop shape, making the ends of the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 fit the eye contour more closely. Moreover, the ends of the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 are both in a teardrop shape, so that the occlusal surface formed when the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 approach is designed with a slope according to the direction of meibum excretion. And the lengths of the first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 are both greater than the depth of the eye socket, enabling the operator to perform deeper extrusion during use. The first pressing section 11 and the second pressing section 21 are thickened sections. During use, the first side of the first pressing section 11 close to the second pressing section 21 contacts the eye skin, applying force from the rear to the opening and continuously pressing to extrude meibum; the second side of the second pressing section 21 close to the first pressing section 11 contacts the tarsal conjunctiva, providing a strong recoil force to resist the extrusion force and prevent damage to the eyeball and avoid discomfort in the conjunctival sac; the third side of the second pressing section 21 away from the first pressing section 11 contacts the bulbar conjunctiva surface, which adapts to the eyeball contour. The first side, the second side and the third side are all arc-shaped, which is more convenient to extrude meibum during extrusion.

[0027] Anti-slip rubbers 23 are provided on the outer surfaces of the first handle section 12 and the second handle section 22.

[0028] Visualization windows 24 are provided at the positions where the first handle section 12 is close to the first pressing section 11 and where the second handle section 22 is close to the second pressing section 21. During the operation, the operator can observe the color, quality and quantity of the meibum at the openings of the tarsal glands at any time.

[0029] An ultrasonic instrument and a warmer are provided inside both the first handle 10 and the second handle section 22. The specific structures of the ultrasonic instrument and the warmer in the handle will not be described in detail here, as they are conventional structures. And both the ultrasonic instrument and the warmer are provided with multiple adjustment gears on the first handle 10. According to different tarsal gland conditions, different ultrasonic waves and temperatures can be set, so as to emulsify and soften pathological meibum, reduce the viscosity of meibum and make it easier to extrude.

[0030] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative labor. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the protection scope determined by the claims.
