UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The utility model aims at providing a kind of extruder for meibomian gland dysfunction physical therapy, to solve the volume of treatment instrument being relatively large in the background art described above, it is inconvenient to carry, need to be treated for many times according to treatment course, the use cost and time cost are relatively high, using far infrared function treatment, the requirement of operation to patient is higher, the scope of application is smaller, far infrared light can cause certain irritation to eyes, some patients can appear uncomfortable symptoms during treatment process, even possibly aggravate eye inflammation, the use risk is higher, and the practicality is poorer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a squeezer for physical therapy of meibomian gland dysfunction, comprising a squeezer body, an upper clamping plate fixedly connected to one side of one end of the squeezer body, a lower clamping plate fixedly connected to the other side of one end of the squeezer body, a limiting groove formed at one end of the upper clamping plate, a handheld structure contacting the surface of the limiting groove, and a squeezing structure engaging at the bottom end of the handheld structure.

[0007] Preferably, limiting plates are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the upper clamping plate, and a U-shaped connecting plate is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the upper clamping plate. The bottom end of the U-shaped connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower clamping plate. The bottom surface of the lower clamping plate is provided with several evenly distributed friction blocks, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the lower clamping plate. The limiting plates can restrict the inner squeezing structure to remain in a suitable position during operation when using the squeezer, preventing it from sliding randomly, making the squeezing operation more precise, improving the treatment effect, and also helping to maintain the stability of the entire squeezer during use, making it easier for the user to operate. The upper clamping plate and the lower clamping plate are fixed at one end. The U-shaped connecting plate supports the upper and lower clamping plates, allowing the other ends of the upper and lower clamping plates to be at a 13° angle in their free state. This allows it to withstand the pressure generated during the extrusion process, preventing deformation or damage and extending the service life of the extruder. Several evenly distributed friction blocks with a patterned surface increase the friction between the index finger and the extruder when held, preventing the extruder from slipping out of the hand due to unstable grip, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of operation. When the free ends of the upper and lower clamping plates are subjected to force, the upper clamping plate gradually approaches and contacts the baffle, limiting the minimum opening angle of the upper and lower clamping plates to 9°, which provides some protection for the eyes.

[0008] Preferably, the handheld structure includes an arc-shaped push base with several evenly distributed push blocks on its top surface. An installation chamber is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom surface of the arc-shaped push base. The arc-shaped push base conforms well to the shape of the hand, making it more comfortable for the user to hold the squeezer, reducing hand fatigue, and facilitating long-term operation. The arc-shaped structure also helps to distribute the force applied by the hand, making the force transmission more even and improving the stability and accuracy of the operation. The several evenly distributed push blocks increase the friction between the hand and the push base, preventing slippage during pushing and providing a better point of leverage for the hand. This allows the user to apply pushing force more easily and accurately, making the squeezing operation smoother and allowing for better control of the squeezing force and rhythm, thereby improving the treatment effect. The installation chamber is mainly used for insertion into the squeezing structure. It provides a stable installation position for the squeezing structure, ensuring that the squeezing structure can be accurately installed on the squeezer and firmly connected. This makes the assembly of the various components of the squeezer more convenient and facilitates disassembly and replacement of components when needed, improving the practicality and maintenance convenience of the squeezer.

[0009] Preferably, the squeezing structure includes a fork, one end of which has a U-shaped groove, and a roller is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the U-shaped groove. A squeezing roller is rotatably connected to the surface of the roller, and a docking block is fixedly connected to the other end of the fork. The squeezing roller squeezes the meibomian gland, which can subject the meibomian gland to relatively uniform pressure. Compared with other possible squeezing methods, this is gentler and helps to more effectively drain the secretions from the meibomian gland. At the same time, it reduces the patient's discomfort during the treatment process and improves the comfort and effectiveness of the treatment. The fork provides support for the squeezing roller through the roller, ensuring that the squeezing roller can accurately act on the meibomian gland when using the squeezing device. This provides a basic support for achieving effective squeezing treatment and ensures the stability and accuracy of the entire squeezing operation.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the docking block engages with the inner cavity of the mounting chamber, and the surface of the mounting chamber contacts the inner surface of the limiting groove. The engagement between the docking block and the mounting chamber allows the extrusion structure and the handheld structure to be tightly integrated. During the use of the extruder, this effectively prevents the extrusion structure from detaching from the handheld structure, ensuring the stability of the connection between the two. This prevents the extruder from being affected by loose component connections during operation. The contact connection between the mounting chamber and the limiting groove further restricts the relative position between the handheld structure and the extrusion structure, limiting their displacement in all directions. This ensures that the extrusion structure remains in the correct position during extrusion operation and works as designed, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of extrusion therapy and making efficient use of the entire extruder's space.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the arc-shaped push seat is in contact with the top surface of the upper clamping plate, and the top surface of the fork is in contact with the bottom surface of the upper clamping plate. The contact connection between the arc-shaped push seat and the upper clamping plate, and between the fork and the upper clamping plate, forms a stable "sandwich structure," making the entire squeezer more robust during use, less prone to deformation or disintegration, and providing the user with a clear positional reference. This makes it easier to align the squeezer with the meibomian glands of the eye during operation, improving operational accuracy. At the same time, this connection method also makes the relative positional relationship between the handheld structure and the squeezing structure clearer, allowing the user to more easily control the force and angle of operation, making the squeezing operation smoother and more precise.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This type of squeezer has a relatively simple structure, is small in size, easy to carry, and can be used immediately, reducing usage and time costs. Through the simple combination of the handheld and squeezing structures, the squeezing roller squeezes the meibomian glands, which can quickly and fully expel most of the liquefied and accumulated lipids from the blocked gland openings while minimizing damage to the conjunctiva of the eyelids, thus clearing the meibomian gland openings. It is easy to operate, and ordinary patients can easily use it. It has a wider range of applications and avoids the risks of far-infrared light irritating the eyes and aggravating eye inflammation, making it safer and more practical. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a squeezer for physical therapy of meibomian gland dysfunction, including a squeezer body 1, an upper clamping plate 2 fixedly connected to one side of one end of the squeezer body 1, a lower clamping plate 3 fixedly connected to the other side of one end of the squeezer body 1, a limiting groove 4 opened at one end of the upper clamping plate 2, a hand-held structure contacting the surface of the limiting groove 4, and a squeezing structure engaging at the bottom end of the hand-held structure.

[0024] Furthermore, limiting plates 5 are provided on both sides of the bottom surface of the upper clamping plate 2, and a U-shaped connecting plate 6 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the upper clamping plate 2. The bottom end of the U-shaped connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower clamping plate 3. Several evenly distributed friction blocks 7 are provided on the bottom surface of the lower clamping plate 3, and a baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the surface of the lower clamping plate 3.

[0025] When in use, the upper clamp 2 and the lower clamp 3 are fixedly connected at one end, and the other end is at an angle of 13° in the free state. The user places his index finger on the friction block 7 and squeezes the upper clamp 2. When the surface of the upper clamp 2 is subjected to force, it is squeezed towards the lower clamp 3 and gradually approaches the baffle 8. The baffle 8 restricts the minimum angle of opening between the upper clamp 2 and the lower clamp 3 to 9°.

[0026] Furthermore, the handheld structure includes an arc-shaped push base 9, the top surface of which is provided with several evenly distributed push blocks 10, and the bottom surface of the arc-shaped push base 9 is fixedly connected to an installation chamber 11.

[0027] When in use, the user places their thumb on the push block 10 and applies downward pressure to the arc-shaped push seat 9. This pressure is transmitted through the mounting chamber 11 to the connected squeezing structure, which in turn drives the squeezing structure to squeeze the meibomian glands.

[0028] Furthermore, the extrusion structure includes a fork 12, one end of the surface of the fork 12 is provided with a U-shaped groove 13, a roller 14 is fixedly provided on the inner side of the U-shaped groove 13, an extrusion roller 15 is rotatably connected to the surface of the roller 14, and a docking block 16 is fixedly connected to the other end of the surface of the fork 12.

[0029] In use, the fork 12 provides support for the squeeze roller 15 via the roller shaft 14. The squeeze roller 15 is used to press the eyelid skin surface when using the squeezer body 1, thereby squeezing the meibomian glands.

[0030] Furthermore, the surface of the docking block 16 engages with the inner cavity of the mounting chamber 11, and the surface of the mounting chamber 11 contacts the inner surface of the limiting groove 4.

[0031] When in use, place the installation chamber 11 along the direction of the limiting groove 4 so that the surface of the installation chamber 11 is in full contact with the inner surface of the limiting groove 4. Then, accurately insert the mating block 16 into the inner cavity of the installation chamber 11 to ensure that the two pass through the limiting groove 4 and fit tightly together to form a stable "sandwich structure".

[0032] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the arc-shaped push seat 9 is in contact with the top surface of the upper clamping plate 2, and the top surface of the fork 12 is in contact with the bottom surface of the upper clamping plate 2.

[0033] When in use, the contact connection between the arc-shaped push seat 9 and the upper clamp 2, and between the fork 12 and the upper clamp 2, is like a stable "sandwich" structure. Regardless of the applied pressure, it can effectively prevent misalignment, shaking or separation between the parts, allowing the user to perform the squeezing operation stably and continuously, ensuring the consistency of the treatment effect.

[0034] In this embodiment, the following steps are taken before treatment: Before treatment, hot compresses or fumigation are applied to liquefy the lipids of the meibomian glands. The patient is seated or supine, with topical anesthesia applied to both eyes. A sterilized squeezer is held (before operation, the squeezer must be checked to ensure the squeeze roller 15 slides freely). The patient's head and eyelids are fixed. During treatment, the squeezer is held between the index finger and thumb. The smooth flat plate at the end of the lower clamp 3 is placed on the conjunctival surface of the eyelid, and the squeeze roller 15 is placed on the skin surface of the eyelid. The squeeze roller 15 is pressed down onto the lower clamp 3 using the index finger and thumb, while the thumb is placed on the push block 10 of the arc-shaped push seat 9, causing the squeeze roller 15 to roll backward on the skin surface of the eyelid and squeeze the tarsal plate. Throughout the procedure, the lower splint 3 should remain stationary. When operating on the upper meibomian gland, instruct the patient to look down, and when operating on the lower meibomian gland, instruct the patient to look up. Follow the principles of "right first, then left," "upper first, then lower," and "from inside to outside" to minimize damage to the palpebral conjunctiva. This will allow most of the liquefied and accumulated lipids to drain from the blocked gland openings, ensuring the meibomian gland openings are clear. After treatment, use antibacterial eye drops or saline solution to rinse the secretions in the conjunctival sac and around the eyelid margin. After wiping clean with sterile gauze, apply a strip of compound tobramycin eye ointment to the tip of a sterile cotton swab, and then use the cotton swab with the ointment to evenly spread it along the eyelid margin.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
