Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a dry eye hyperthermia device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the increasing frequency of electronic product use, the incidence of dry eye is also rising year by year, seriously affecting people's work and life. Dry eye is the most common ocular surface disease, usually caused by a variety of factors, among which meibomian gland dysfunction is one of the main causes. Meibomian glands are located in the upper and lower tarsal plates of the eyelids, arranged perpendicularly to the eyelid margin, and open onto the eyelid margin. Normally functioning meibomian glands can stabilize the tear film by secreting meibomian gland sebum, which covers the surface of the tear film, reducing tear evaporation and preventing dry eye. In patients with dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction, the meibomian gland sebum components are abnormal, leading to an increased melting point. Hyperthermia is a recognized effective treatment for dry eye. The temperature should reach 40-45℃ and be maintained for 10-15 minutes. Common hyperthermia methods for dry eye associated with meibomian gland dysfunction mainly include fumigation, eye mask hyperthermia, and hyperthermia using a thermal pulse system.

[0003] Currently, patent CN211460810U discloses a lens mounting structure for a wet chamber lens, including a mounting part with an outer lens and an inner lens. The outer and inner lenses form a sealed air heating chamber with the mounting part. A heating component is arranged around the air heating chamber to heat the air inside. The heating component heats the air in the sealed air heating chamber formed by the outer and inner lenses and the mounting part. Although it can achieve visible thermotherapy for the eyes, thereby relieving dry eyes, the heated lens is prone to fogging and condensation during use, resulting in a less than ideal visual effect.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a dry eye hyperthermia device with good visualization effects. Utility Model Content

[0031] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0032] like Figures 1-6As shown, this embodiment provides a dry eye hyperthermia device, including a frame 1, two lens assemblies, two heating components, and a strap 2. The two lens assemblies are respectively installed on the frame 1 at positions corresponding to the left and right eyes. Each lens assembly forms a heating cavity 11 with the frame 1. The two heating components are correspondingly installed on the sides of the two heating cavities 11. The strap 2 is installed on both sides of the frame 1. Each lens assembly includes an inner lens 31 and an outer lens 32. The inner lens 31 facing the eye and the outer lens 32 facing forward are coated with a graphene coating 33. The thickness of the graphene coating 33 is 0.1–0.5 mm, thereby achieving the desired effect of the graphene coating 33 without affecting the lens's light transmittance. In this specific embodiment, the strap 2 is provided with an adjustment buckle 21 to adjust the wearing length to accommodate different user head sizes.

[0033] Specifically, two heating chambers 11 formed by two lens assemblies (one inner lens 31 and one outer lens 32) and the frame 1, along with two sets of heating components, enable visual thermotherapy of the eyes to relieve dry eyes. The graphene coating 33 on the outer side of the lens has excellent thermal conductivity. During use, the graphene coating 33 can quickly and evenly distribute heat, resulting in better heat dissipation and significantly reducing fogging on the lens. This reduces water vapor condensation caused by temperature differences and improves visibility during wear. Furthermore, the graphene coating 33 has antibacterial and self-cleaning properties, helping to keep the lens clean and reducing the accumulation of bacteria and dirt. The strap 2 also improves the stability of the lens during wear.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this specific embodiment, the frame 1 has a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove positioned front to back corresponding to the left and right eyes. The outer lens 32 is mounted in the first mounting groove, with the side having the graphene coating 33 facing forward. The inner lens 31 is mounted in the second mounting groove, with the side having the graphene coating 33 facing the eye. The outer lens 32 and the inner lens 31, together with the frame 1, form a heating cavity 11. Mounting slots are provided on both sides of the heating cavity 11, and the two heating units 4 of the heating assembly are correspondingly mounted in the two mounting slots. The heating temperature of the two heating units 4 of the heating assembly is 40℃~45℃. In this specific embodiment, the heating unit 4 is a heating wire. It should be noted that using a heating wire as the heating unit 4 is only a preferred option; other heating structures can achieve the same technical effect.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the frame 1 has an eye socket fitting part 12 on the side facing the eyes to improve wearing comfort. The eye socket fitting part 12 also has a treatment patch that matches the shape of the eye socket. The treatment patch can be filled with a treatment drug for dry eyes, such as wild chrysanthemum and peppermint extract, which can not only help treat dry eyes, but also have the effect of promoting blood circulation and improving eyesight.

[0036] Furthermore, in this specific embodiment, a temperature display screen is provided on the outer side of the frame 1, and a temperature sensor is provided inside the heating cavity 11. The temperature sensor is connected to the temperature display screen to display the real-time temperature inside the heating cavity 11.

[0037] The dry eye hyperthermia device provided in this specific embodiment is used as follows: the orbital fitting part 12 is placed tightly against the user's eye socket. According to the size of the user's head, the wearing length of the strap 2 is adjusted by adjusting the buckle 21 to ensure that the dry eye hyperthermia device can be worn securely. Then, the two heating components heat the two heating chambers 11 corresponding to the left and right eyes respectively. According to the real-time stability of the heating chamber 11 detected by the temperature sensor displayed on the temperature display screen, the temperature inside the heating chamber 11 is maintained between 40℃ and 45℃. The user can achieve the therapeutic effect after wearing it for 10 to 15 minutes. During the wearing process, the graphene coating 33 can prevent water vapor condensation on the inner lens 31 and outer lens 32, resulting in good visibility and not affecting other activities of the user.
