Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a roller type tarsal massage device. Background Art

[0002] The tarsal gland is the largest sebaceous gland in the human body, located inside the upper and lower eyelids. Its main function is to secrete lipids (often called meibum), and these lipids participate in forming the lipid layer of the tear film, playing an important role in maintaining the stability of the tear film and preventing the rapid evaporation of tears. When the tarsal gland is blocked due to various mechanisms and cannot secrete meibum normally, it is easy to cause dry eye. In order to treat this kind of dry eye caused by tarsal gland secretion disorder, in the prior art, medical staff generally first apply heat compress to the patient's eyes, and then use cotton swabs or forceps to squeeze the eyelids to promote the smooth discharge of the secretions of the tarsal gland, so as to relieve eye discomfort. During the treatment process, the discomfort of the patient is relatively strong, and the squeezing force and treatment effect are directly affected by the experience and technique of the operator. Moreover, only some areas of the tarsal gland are often squeezed, and it is difficult to perform a more comprehensive massage and treatment on the tarsal gland.

[0003] The utility model patent with the application number CN201420215185.3 discloses a tarsal gland massage device. By driving the clamping part through the holding part, the pressing component arranged on the clamping part acts on the tarsal gland for massage, which can simplify the massage of the tarsal gland, reduce the massage difficulty of the tarsal gland, and improve the safety and effectiveness of tarsal gland massage. However, the applicant found in the research that during a single clamping massage process of this massage device, in order to make the roller roll forward on the outer eyelid instead of translating (the friction between the roller and the eyelid during rolling is much smaller than that during translation, and the treatment comfort is higher), a slope with a certain angle needs to be designed at the position corresponding to the roller on the backing plate. And when massaging, the gasket is to support the inner eyelid, and the slope should not be set too large, which results in a short single rolling stroke of the roller on the outer eyelid. To massage the entire tarsal gland, the position needs to be adjusted multiple times, the massage efficiency is not high, and the position adjustment is likely to cause discomfort to the inner eyelid, and improper operation is likely to damage the inner eyelid. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new tarsal gland massage device. Content of the Utility Model

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood through specific circumstances.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, according to an embodiment of the present utility model, a roller type tarsal gland massager is disclosed, which includes a roller 1, a backing plate 2, and two cross-connected handles. The end of the first handle 3 is connected to the roller 1, the end of the second handle 4 is connected to the backing plate 2, a sliding member 5 is further provided on the second handle 4, a chute 6 is provided on the first handle 3, the chute 6 is arranged along the length direction of the first handle 3, the sliding member 5 can move relative to the chute 6 and will not fall out of the chute 6, the first handle 3 and the second handle 4 are scissor-cross-connected through the sliding member 5, and limiting grooves 7 are communicated at both ends of the chute 6; when the sliding member 5 slides in the chute 6, the opening between the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 is the smallest; the sliding member 5 can rotate in the limiting groove 7, and when it rotates to a position not coinciding with the length direction of the chute 6, it can be blocked by the chute 6 and cannot enter the chute 6.

[0026] The roller 1 and the backing plate 2 are respectively installed on the handles and are used to realize the extrusion and rolling massage of the tarsal gland after approaching each other. Specifically, the operator holds and manipulates the first handle 3 and the second handle 4 to slide the sliding assembly into the limiting groove 7 on the side away from the clamping end, manipulates the first handle 3 to rotate relative to the second handle 4, the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 at the clamping end of the massager open to form an opening, the backing plate 2 is placed into the inner eyelid of the patient to form a support, then manipulates the first handle 3 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the second handle 4, the opening between the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 becomes smaller, when it rotates to the smallest opening, the eyelid is clamped, the sliding assembly rotates accordingly, manipulates the first handle 3 to retreat relative to the second handle 4 to drive the roller 1 to roll on the outer eyelid, that is, to generate a displacement relative to the backing plate 2, so as to realize a rolling massage of the tarsal gland once. When the sliding assembly enters another limiting groove 7 from the chute 6, manipulates the first handle 3 to rotate relative to the second handle 4 again, the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 open wide, adjust the position of the massager, and start a new one-way rolling massage again.

[0027] The massager supports the inner eyelid through the backing plate 2. The sliding groove 6, the limiting groove 7 and the rolling assembly cooperate to realize the rolling of the roller 1 on the outer eyelid to massage the tarsal gland. The operation is convenient, a longer massage stroke is achieved, the massage efficiency and safety are higher, and the patient experience is more comfortable.

[0028] In some specific implementation manners, only one limiting groove 7 may be provided. The limiting groove 7 is provided at one end away from the roller 1. As described above, first, the sliding member 5 is controlled to rotate in the limiting groove 7 to drive an opening to be formed between the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 through the first handle 3 and the second handle 4, so as to facilitate putting the backing plate 2 into the patient's eyelid. The backing plate 2 is used to support the eyelid. Then, the first handle 3 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the second handle 4, and the opening between the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 becomes smaller. When the opening is the smallest, the eyelid is clamped, and the sliding assembly rotates accordingly. The first handle 3 is controlled to move forward or backward relative to the second handle 4 to drive the roller 1 to roll back and forth on the outer eyelid.

[0029] In some other specific implementation manners, in order to realize the unidirectional massage of the tarsal gland and without the need to withdraw the backing plate 2 from the eyelid multiple times, see Figure 3 , a square ring groove 11 in a closed state may be provided on the first handle 3. The square ring groove 11 includes a set of horizontally arranged parallel sliding grooves 6 and a set of vertically arranged parallel sliding grooves 6, and the groove widths of the horizontal sliding grooves 6 and the vertical sliding grooves 6 are different. The height of the sliding member 5 is adapted to the horizontal sliding groove 6, and the width of the sliding member 5 is adapted to the groove width of the vertical sliding groove 6. By controlling the sliding member 5 to move along the vertical sliding groove 6, the adjustment of the opening size between the roller 1 and the backing plate 2 is realized, so as to clamp or release the eyelid. By controlling the sliding member 5 to move along the horizontal sliding groove 6, the front and rear displacement of the roller 1 relative to the backing plate 2 is realized. Through the setting of the square ring groove 11, after a single-direction rolling massage is completed, there is no need to remove the backing plate 2. The clamping end is opened wide in the vertical sliding groove 6, and the roller 1 is reset in the open state through the horizontal sliding groove 6, realizing multiple unidirectional massages.
