Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of corneal lenses, and in particular to a corneal lens cleaning box. Background Art
[0002] Corneal contact lenses are lenses worn on the cornea of the eye to correct vision or protect the eyes. Corneal lenses need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Existing corneal lens cleaning devices are usually set up as an integral unit. To ensure the cleaning effect, a silicone brush is usually required to rotate and clean the lens surface during the cleaning process. When cleaning multiple corneal lenses, it is necessary to put the corneal lens in and wait for the cleaning to be completed. The power of the device must be turned off and the corneal lens must be taken out and the corneal lens to be cleaned must be put back in. Since the corneal lens is small and easily damaged, the removal process needs to be more careful and time-consuming, resulting in low working efficiency of the cleaning device. Therefore, a cleaning device with a detachable cleaning chamber is usually used to ensure cleaning efficiency, but the transmission structure will affect the disassembly.
[0003] Therefore, a detachable corneal lens cleaning box is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The content of this application is used to briefly introduce concepts that will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. The content of this application is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the technical solution for which protection is sought, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the technical solution for which protection is sought.
[0005] In order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology section, some embodiments of the present application provide a corneal lens cleaning box, including: a housing, in which a motor is installed; a corneal lens cleaning box also includes: a cleaning chamber, detachably installed in the housing; a cleaning brush, rotatably arranged in the cleaning chamber; a gear assembly, used for transmitting between the motor and the cleaning brush; a control assembly, used to control the connection and disconnection of the transmission between the motor and the cleaning brush; the control assembly includes: a control cavity, opened in the cleaning chamber; a control column, arranged in the control cavity, one end of the control column is inserted into the cleaning brush and rotates synchronously with the cleaning brush, and the other end is connected to the gear assembly to transmit torque; a control block, slidably arranged in the control cavity, used to push the control column out of the gear assembly.
[0006] By setting a control column for connecting or disconnecting with the gear assembly, when the control column is connected to the gear assembly, the motor power is transmitted to the cleaning brush, and when the control column is disconnected from the gear assembly, the cleaning bin is easily disassembled.
[0007] Furthermore, the gear assembly includes: a motor gear, fixedly connected to the output end of the motor; a transmission gear, which is provided in two groups and is rotatably arranged in the housing and meshed with the motor gear; an output gear, which is rotatably arranged in the housing and meshed with the transmission gear; wherein one end of the control column is connected to the output gear to transmit torque.
[0008] The motor power is transmitted to the cleaning brush through the provided output gear, so that the motor is separated from the cleaning chamber to prevent the liquid in the cleaning chamber from affecting the motor.
[0009] Furthermore, a non-circular groove is provided at the axis of the output gear for inserting one end of one of the control columns, and the end of the control column inserted into the non-circular groove is a non-circular protrusion that matches the shape of the non-circular groove.
[0010] By setting the non-circular groove and the non-circular protrusion, the non-circular protrusion can transmit torque when inserted into the non-circular groove, and no longer transmits torque when detached from the non-circular groove, which facilitates the disassembly of the cleaning bin.
[0011] Furthermore, the control column has a tapered portion whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases from an end close to the cleaning brush to an end away from the cleaning brush, and the axis of the tapered portion coincides with the rotation axis of the control column.
[0012] The conical portion is provided so that when the side surface of the conical portion is pushed, the control column can be driven to move, thereby causing the non-circular protrusion to disengage from the non-circular groove.
[0013] Furthermore, the control block is provided with two tapered grooves whose cross-sectional areas gradually decrease from an end close to the cleaning brush to an end away from the cleaning brush, and the tapered portions are located in the tapered grooves.
[0014] The conical groove is set so that the side wall of the conical groove contacts the side of the conical part, driving the control column to move
[0015] Furthermore, a return spring is provided in the control cavity, and two ends of the return spring abut against the end wall of the control cavity and the control block respectively.
[0016] The reset spring is provided so that the control block can be reset under the action of the reset spring.
[0017] Furthermore, the control block has a pressing portion that passes through the side wall plate.
[0018] The provided pressing portion enables the block to be controlled to move when the pressing portion is passed.
[0019] Furthermore, a connecting hole located at the axial position is opened at one end of the cleaning brush close to the control column. The control column has a connecting portion inserted into the connecting hole. The connecting portion and the connecting hole are non-circular structures with the same cross-sectional shape.
[0020] The connection portion and the connection hole cooperate to transmit power to the washing brush through the control column.
[0021] A compression spring is arranged in the connecting hole, and two ends of the compression spring are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the connecting hole and the connecting portion.
[0022] The compression spring is provided so that the control column can be reset without being affected by external forces.
[0023] The beneficial effect of the present application is that a detachable corneal lens cleaning box is provided. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.
[0041] Reference Figure 1-7 A corneal lens cleaning box includes: a housing 100, a cleaning chamber 101, a cleaning brush 102, a side wall plate 103, a control cavity 104, a control column 105, and a control block 106. A motor 107 is installed in the housing 100.
[0042] In this embodiment, the power output end of the motor 107 is fixedly connected to a motor gear 108. Two transfer gears 109 are rotatably connected to the housing 100, and both transfer gears 109 mesh with the motor gear 108. Two output gears 110 are also rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the two output gears 110 respectively mesh with the two transfer gears 109, thereby outputting the power of the motor 107 to the output gears 110.
[0043] The cleaning chamber 101 is detachably mounted within the housing 100 and is used to place and clean a corneal lens. The cleaning chamber 101 can be removed from the housing 100. The cleaning brush 102 has a cylindrical body with bristles distributed on the side. The cleaning brush 102 is rotatably mounted within the cleaning chamber 101 and is provided in two groups, upper and lower, which rotate to simultaneously clean the upper and lower sides of the corneal lens. The cleaning chamber 101 includes a side wall 103, and a control chamber 104 is provided within the side wall 103. Two control columns 105 are provided and disposed within the control chamber 104. Through holes are provided on both side walls 103 of the control chamber 104 for the ends of the control columns 105 to pass through. A connecting hole 111 is provided at one end of the cleaning brush 102, close to the control column 105, and located at the axial position. The control column 105 has a connecting portion 112 that is inserted into the connecting hole 111. The connecting portion 112 is inserted through the through hole into the connecting hole 111 to transmit torque. The connecting portion 112 and the connecting hole 111 are non-circular structures with the same cross-sectional shape, so that the control column 105 and the cleaning brush 102 can transmit torque and rotate synchronously.
[0044] In one embodiment, the cross section of the connecting hole 111 is a rectangular structure.
[0045] The other end of the control post 105 passes through a through hole and is inserted into the output gear 110. A non-circular groove 113 is defined at the axis of the output gear 110 for inserting one end of one of the control posts 105. The end of the control post 105 inserted into the non-circular groove 113 has a non-circular protrusion 114 that matches the shape of the non-circular groove 113. Thus, the output gear 110 transmits power from the motor 107 to the cleaning brush 102 via the control post 105.
[0046] In one embodiment, the non-circular convex cross-section is a rectangular structure.
[0047] In one embodiment, the connecting portion 112 slides within the connecting hole 111, allowing the control column 105 to enter a first state in which a non-circular protrusion 114 on one end is inserted into the non-circular groove 113, and to enter a second state in which the non-circular protrusion 114 is removed from the non-circular groove 113. In the first state, the control column 105 can transmit power from the motor 107 to the cleaning brush 102. In the second state, the control column 105 cannot transmit power to the cleaning brush 102, and the non-circular protrusion 114 does not extend beyond the outer surface of the side wall plate 103.
[0048] A compression spring 115 is disposed in the connecting hole 111 , and two ends of the compression spring 115 abut against the inner wall of the connecting hole 111 and the connecting portion 112 respectively.
[0049] Control block 106 is slidably disposed within control chamber 104. It includes a pressing portion 116 extending through sidewall 103, which drives movement of control block 106. Control block 106 abuts control post 105. Movement of control block 106 drives movement of control post 105, causing connection portion 112 to slide within connection hole 111. A return spring 117 is disposed within control chamber 104, with its ends abutting against the end wall of control chamber 104 and control block 106, respectively.
[0050] In one embodiment, the control column 105 has a tapered portion 118 whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the direction approaching the cleaning brush 102 to the direction away from the cleaning brush 102. The axis of the tapered portion 118 coincides with the rotational axis of the control column 105. The control block 106 abuts against the tapered side of the tapered portion 118. When the control block 106 moves, it compresses the tapered side of the tapered portion 118, thereby driving the control column 105 to move, causing the connecting portion 112 to slide within the connecting hole 111, placing the control column 105 in the second state.
[0051] In one embodiment, the control block 106 is provided with two tapered grooves 119 whose cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the direction close to the cleaning brush 102 to the direction away from the cleaning brush 102. The tapered portion 118 is located within the tapered grooves 119. The control column 105 is driven to move by the tapered side surfaces of the tapered portion 118 contacting and squeezing the tapered side walls of the tapered grooves 119.
[0052] Working process: The control block 106 is pushed to move by the pressing portion 116, so that the conical side of the conical groove 119 abuts against the cylindrical side of the conical portion 118, thereby pushing the control column 105 to move, so that the non-circular protrusion 114 disengages from the non-circular groove 113 and no longer transmits power. At this time, the non-circular protrusion 114 does not exceed the outer surface of the side wall plate 103, which facilitates the disassembly of the cleaning bin 101.
[0053] The above descriptions are merely some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and illustrate the underlying technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention encompassed by the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the aforementioned technical features. It also encompasses other technical solutions formed by any combination of the aforementioned technical features or their equivalents, without departing from the aforementioned inventive concept. For example, a technical solution formed by replacing the aforementioned features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure.
