Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contact lens storage technology, and in particular to a contact lens packaging. Background Technology

[0002] The primary purpose of contact lenses is vision correction. Compared to eyeglasses, they offer a better range of vision correction. Soft contact lenses are particularly popular in the market because they provide better wearing comfort compared to rigid contact lenses.

[0003] Currently, the inner packaging of contact lenses mainly uses a shell structure, simply referred to as a PP (polypropylene) cup. Specifically, the PP cup consists of a cup body with a storage slot for holding the contact lenses. The storage slot contains the hydrated lenses and an appropriate amount of buffer solution. After being heat-sealed with aluminum foil, a sterile barrier system is formed. This system undergoes high-temperature sterilization to ensure that the lenses and buffer solution within the system remain sterile. When using these contact lenses, consumers simply need to tear the aluminum foil from the PP cup seal to remove and wear the lenses.

[0004] The shorter the replacement cycle of contact lenses, the more favored they are by consumers. At the same time, the higher the safety of contact lenses, the more convenient their care. Therefore, the demand for PP cups is increasing. However, all current PP cups are disposable and are discarded after use. As the number of discarded cups increases, they are likely to cause environmental pollution.

[0005] Therefore, the above problems urgently need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment proposes a contact lens packaging, comprising a cup body 1 and a sealing element. The cup body 1 has a storage slot 11 for storing contact lenses, and the sealing element is detachably disposed on the cup body 1 to seal the storage slot 11. It is understood that after placing hydrated lenses and an appropriate amount of buffer solution in the storage slot 11 and sealing it with the sealing element (preferably aluminum foil) by heat pressing, a sterile barrier system is formed. This system, after high-temperature sterilization, ensures that the lenses and buffer solution within the system remain sterile. When using such contact lenses, consumers only need to tear the aluminum foil from the PP cup sealing ring to remove and wear the lenses. However, shorter disposable contact lenses are more popular with consumers, and higher safety and more convenient lens care also contribute to the increasing demand for PP cups. However, current PP cups are all disposable, and their disposal after use can easily cause environmental pollution as the number of discarded cups increases.

[0037] Therefore, the contact lens packaging proposed in this embodiment also includes a handle 2, which is movably connected to the cup body 1 to cover the cup body 1 and conceal the storage slot 11. It is understood that after the contact lens is removed from the storage slot 11, the handle 2 is placed on the cup body 1 to form a storage space between the handle 2 and the storage slot 11, allowing the user to reuse the contact lens packaging, thereby improving environmental friendliness.

[0038] In this embodiment, the contact lens packaging also includes a locking structure, which is disposed between the handle 2 and the body 1 to keep the handle 2 closed to the body 1. It is understood that the locking structure prevents items in the storage slot 11 from falling out of the storage slot 11 when the contact lens packaging is reused, thereby improving installation performance.

[0039] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a rotating part 31, which is disposed between the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2 to flip the cup handle 2. It can be understood that when the sealant seals the receiving groove 11, the cup handle 2 is in an initial state separated from the receiving groove, such as... Figure 1 As shown, after the seal is removed, the cup handle 2 is rotated and placed in a closed state covering the receiving groove, as... Figure 3 As shown, this setting facilitates switching the state of the cup handle 2 during secondary use.

[0040] Preferably, the two ends of the rotating part 31 are integrally formed with the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2, respectively, and the middle part of the rotating part 31 has a crease line. It can be understood that the rotating part 31 is rectangular, and the two sides of the rectangle are integrally formed with the cup body 1 and the cup handle 2, respectively, thereby increasing the structural strength of the contact lens packaging. The crease line facilitates the flipping of the cup handle 2.

[0041] Specifically, V-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the rotating part 31 at the crease line so that the top of the rotating part 31 and the two sides at the crease line can fit together during the flipping process of the cup handle 2, so as to ensure the sealing of the cup handle 2 to the storage groove 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the locking structure further includes multiple sets of locking components 32, which are respectively located on both sides of the rotating part 31. It is understood that after the cup handle 2 is flipped over, the locking components 32 can keep the cup handle 2 in a closed state, thereby improving safety during secondary use.

[0043] Specifically, each snap-fit ​​component 32 includes a snap-fit ​​block 321 and a snap-fit ​​groove 322. The snap-fit ​​block 321 is disposed on the cup handle 2; the snap-fit ​​groove 322 is disposed on the cup body 1. The snap-fit ​​block 321 and the snap-fit ​​groove 322 are directly opposite each other, and the snap-fit ​​block 321 and the snap-fit ​​groove 322 are adapted to snap-fit. It can be understood that after the cup handle 2 is flipped over, the cooperation between the snap-fit ​​block 321 and the snap-fit ​​groove 322 can keep the cup handle 2 in a closed state.

[0044] Of course, in some other feasible embodiments, the snap-fit ​​component 32 can also be other existing snap-fit ​​structures, which will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Furthermore, an extension 21 is provided on the side of the cup handle 2 away from the rotating part 31. The extension 21 can extend to the outside of the cup body 1 when the cup body 1 is placed on top of the cup body 1. It is understood that when the cup handle 2 is switched from the closed state to the initial state, it needs to be flipped in the opposite direction. The extension 21 makes it easier for the consumer to apply force to the cup handle 2. This design can further improve the convenience of the contact lens packaging when it is reused.

[0046] In this embodiment, the contact lens packaging also includes multiple cup feet 4, which are evenly arranged on the side of the cup body 1 away from the handle 2. It is understood that when taking out contact lenses placed in the storage slot 11, or when placing other items into the storage slot 11, the cup body 1 can be placed on any platform using the multiple cup feet 4, thereby freeing up the hands and improving the convenience of the contact lens packaging. Furthermore, the multiple cup feet 4 help maintain the cup body 1 in a stable state, thus improving the stability of the contact lens packaging.

[0047] Furthermore, the cup foot 4 is detachably mounted on the cup body 1. Understandably, the cup foot 4 is mounted on the cup body 1 when placing or removing items to improve the convenience of the contact lens packaging. When the cup handle 2 is in the closed state, the cup foot 4 can be removed, thereby improving the storage capacity of the contact lens packaging.

[0048] For example, the cup body 1 is provided with a mounting through hole 13. The diameter of the mounting through hole 13 gradually decreases in the direction away from the cup handle 2, and the mounting through hole 13 is adapted to the cup foot 4. It can be understood that the inner peripheral wall of the mounting through hole 13 is conical, and the two ends are a large round end and a small round end, respectively. The large round end faces the cup handle 2, and the cup foot 4 is inserted into the mounting through hole 13 from the large round end to complete the installation of the cup foot 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cup body 1 is provided with an annular protrusion 12, which is contoured to the storage groove 11 and is located outside the storage groove 11. The cup handle 2 is provided with a groove 22 that is directly opposite the annular protrusion 12, and the groove wall of the groove 22 can fit and conform to the outer wall of the annular protrusion 12. It can be understood that when the cup handle 2 is in a closed state, the annular protrusion 12 can be inserted into the groove 22, thereby ensuring the sealing of the storage groove 11 when reused.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
