Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of contact lenses and relates to a contact lens cup that can be used twice. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the inner packaging of contact lenses mainly adopts a cover structure, referred to as a PP cup, which is usually a disposable product.

[0003] In order to achieve the reuse of the PP cup, a structure with a sterilization function is usually provided in the PP cup. However, this makes the structure of the PP cup too complicated.

[0004] Because PP cups are universally standardized, their cost is relatively low. Using a new PP cup directly is less expensive than using a PP cup with a sterilization function. However, the sterilization effect is not guaranteed, so even a PP cup with a sterilization function cannot guarantee that the cup will remain clean after repeated use.

[0005] It can be seen that setting up a sterilization structure not only increases the cost of use, but also the cleanliness of the PP cup cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a contact lens cup with a compact structure and capable of being reused in order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this invention are intended only to describe specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this invention. The term "or / and" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the contact lens cup for secondary use includes a sheet-shaped cup body 1, the inner side of which has a recessed storage cavity 1a for placing contact lenses, and also includes a cup handle 2, cup feet 3, a connecting portion 4 and a snap-fit ​​assembly. The cup feet 3 are multiple in number, and the multiple cup feet 3 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the cup body 1. The connecting portion 4 movably connects the inner edge of the cup body 1 with the inner edge of the cup handle 2. In the initial state, the cup body 1 is flush with the cup handle 2. The connecting portion 4 is a flexible structure. After an external force is applied to cause the cup handle 2 to swing around the connecting portion 4, the cup handle 2 can be snap-fitted to the cup body 1 through the snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0034] In the initial state, the cup body 1 is flush with the cup handle 2. At this time, the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 are not fastened together, and the contact lens is stably stored in the storage cavity 1a.

[0035] After the contact lens is taken out from the storage cavity 1a, external force is applied to make the cup handle 2 approach the cup body 1, and under the action of the fastening assembly, the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 can finally be stably fastened and connected together.

[0036] As can be seen, after the handle 2 is snapped onto the cup body 1, the end of the storage chamber 1a can be closed, ensuring that the entire PP cup can be used again. Of course, in the initial state, a membrane is connected to the end of the storage chamber 1a to seal it, which needs to be torn off before removing the contact lenses.

[0037] Of course, since the connecting portion 4 is made of a flexible material, the cup handle 2 can swing stably relative to the cup body 1, so that the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 can be stably buckled, connected or separated.

[0038] The buckle assembly includes a ring-shaped protruding fitting portion 1a1 at the end of the storage cavity 1a of the cup body 1, and the cup handle 2 is provided with a fitting groove 2a matching the fitting portion 1a1.

[0039] The bonding portion 1a1 is connected to an aluminum foil that can seal the storage cavity 1a.

[0040] Such a structure can reduce the contact area between the aluminum foil and the cup body 1. Under the action of external force, the aluminum foil can be torn open smoothly.

[0041] The buckle assembly further comprises a recess 1c recessed at the edge of the cup body 1 and a buckle hook 2b protruding from the inner edge of the cup handle 2, wherein the buckle hook 2b can be buckled and connected at the recess 1c.

[0042] The hook 2b cooperates with the notch 1c to stably connect the cup handle 2 to the cup body 1 .

[0043] The buckle hook 2b includes a sheet-shaped body 2b1 , the inner end of which is fixedly connected to the cup handle 2b2 , and the outer end of the body 2b1 has a hook body 2b2 protruding inwardly, and the outer side of the body 2b1 is flush with the edge of the cup handle 2 .

[0044] Such a structure can prevent the hook 2b from extending out of the cup handle 2. Of course, the notch 1c can properly avoid the hook 2b, ensuring that the hook 2b can be stably fastened and connected to the cup body 1.

[0045] There are two buckles 2b, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cup handle 2. The cup body 1 has notches 1c corresponding to the buckles 2b.

[0046] The two hooks 2b and the corresponding notches 1c enable the cup handle 2 to be stably connected to the cup body 1 .

[0047] Under the action of the fastening assembly, the inner side of the cup handle 2 contacts the inner side of the cup body 1 .

[0048] Such a structure can improve the connection stability between the cup handle 2 and the cup body 1.

[0049] The cup foot 3 is cylindrical, and the cup body 1 is provided with a through disassembly hole 1b. The inner cavity of the cup foot 3 is communicated with the disassembly hole 1b. When the cup handle 2 is buckled and connected to the cup body 1, the cup handle 2 covers the disassembly hole 1b.

[0050] The cup foot 3 has two functions. First, it plays a supporting role when the PP cup is placed. After the disassembly tool is inserted into the cup foot 3, it can easily push the cup handle 2 to ensure that the cup handle 2 and the cup body 1 can be stably separated.

[0051] The cup foot 3 and the disassembly hole 1b form a disassembly support assembly, and the disassembly support assembly is evenly distributed circumferentially on the cup body 1 at the edge of the storage cavity 1a.

[0052] Multiple disassembly support components can improve the placement stability of the PP cup. At the same time, multiple disassembly positions can also stably separate the cup handle from the cup body.

[0053] The cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 are both made of polypropylene material, and the connecting portion 4 is made of flexible silicone material.

[0054] The cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 are made of polypropylene, which has moderate hardness and maintains a certain elasticity, and can ensure that the cup handle 2 and the cup body 11 are stably buckled and separated.

[0055] When the reusable contact lens cup is used to pack contact lenses, the aluminum foil is sealed and connected to the end of the storage cavity. Under the action of the aluminum foil, the contact lenses are placed in a sealed environment to ensure that the contact lenses will not be contaminated.

[0056] The aluminum foil needs to be torn off before taking out the contact lenses. After the contact lenses are taken out, the cup handle is connected to the cup body through a snap-on assembly, so that the entire PP cup can be reused, effectively reducing its use cost.

[0057] Meanwhile, the buckle hooks the notch, and the adhering part cooperates with the adhering groove, so that the cup handle is stably buckled and connected on the cup body under the double cooperation, the connection is stable and high, the structure is compact, and the utility value is high.

[0058] That is, after taking out the contact lenses, tearing the aluminum foil on the package shell, and folding and assembling the bending part of the cup body, the cup body can become a small storage box for small items, which is small and easy to carry and reflects the environmental protection concept of consumers.

[0059] In order to ensure the stable use of the storage box, the following points need to be paid attention to during operation:

[0060] 1. After taking out the contact lenses, tear the aluminum foil completely;

[0061] 2. Fold the cup handle along the bending part;

[0062] 3. Embed the buckle into the notch, and stably cooperate the adhering part with the adhering groove;

[0063] 4. Carry and use after the cup body is completely closed.

[0064] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily, and in order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are not described, however, as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered that it is within the scope of the present application.

[0065] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, and are not used as a limitation of the present application, and as long as the above embodiments are within the scope of the present application, any appropriate changes and variations are within the scope of the present application.
