[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" generally refer to the orientation in the assembled and used state. "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer sides relative to the outline of each component itself.
[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate for the embodiments of the utility model described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a chemical burn corneal irrigation device. The chemical burn corneal irrigation device includes an irrigation apparatus 1 and an irrigation solution supply device 2. The irrigation apparatus 1 includes a wearable frame 11, which includes two eyewash cups 12 corresponding to the two eyes respectively. The first end of each eyewash cup 12 has a first opening 121 for accommodating the eye and is configured to seal against the eye socket. The second end of each eyewash cup 12 has a second opening facing away from the eye, which communicates with the first opening 121. An irrigation mechanism 13 is provided within each eyewash cup 12 to spray irrigation solution toward the eye. The irrigation solution supply device 2 is connected to the irrigation mechanism 13 via a delivery hose 24 to supply irrigation solution to the irrigation mechanism 13. The irrigation solution supply device 2 is movably placed in the target area.
[0029] Specifically, since the rinsing solution supply device 2 can be movably placed in the target area, and the rinsing mechanism 13 is connected to it via the delivery hose 24, this chemical burn corneal rinsing device can be placed as a mobile rinsing device in areas of chemical plants prone to chemical burns. Once a worker suffers a chemical burn to their eye, the injured person can immediately use the nearest chemical burn corneal rinsing device to rinse their eyes. During use, the injured person wears the rinsing device 1 over their eye, ensuring the tip of the eye cup 12 seals around the eye socket, and uses their hand to pull the upper eyelid upwards, allowing the tip of the eye cup 12 to open the upper and lower eyelids, keeping the eye open. Then, the injured person slightly lowers their head, turns on the rinsing solution supply device 2 to provide rinsing solution to the rinsing mechanism 13, and begins rinsing. The waste solution after rinsing flows out from the second opening. Therefore, the chemical burn corneal irrigation device of this invention can be placed in the target area where chemical burns are likely to occur for standby. Moreover, the irrigation operation is simple, and the injured person can irrigate their eyes in the shortest possible time without having to go to a distant medical location for irrigation, thus avoiding delays in emergency treatment and preventing the injury from worsening.
[0030] Furthermore, since the chemical burn corneal irrigation device of this invention achieves automatic irrigation simply by wearing the irrigation device 1 on the head, it eliminates the need for prolonged hand-assisted irrigation, thus preventing hand and arm pain caused by maintaining an irrigation posture for extended periods. Moreover, because the irrigation device 1 is connected to the irrigation solution supply device 2 via a delivery hose 24, rather than being fixed in a specific position on the irrigation solution supply device 2, there is sufficient room for movement after wearing the irrigation device 1, allowing the injured person to adopt various irrigation postures, such as standing or sitting. This prevents the injured person from maintaining a bent-over posture for extended periods to approach the irrigation source, avoiding back pain caused by prolonged bending, and making eye irrigation more comfortable.
[0031] It should be noted that the rinsing solution supply device 2 is already filled with rinsing solution before the chemical burn corneal rinsing device is used, and the rinsing solution is replaced every once in a while to ensure that it can be used for rinsing treatment at any time.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the wearing frame 11 includes a left eye frame 111 adapted to the eye contour, a right eye frame 112 adapted to the eye contour, and a rotating connecting block 113 located between the two and rotatably connected to them on the side near the nose. Two eyewash cups 12 are respectively fixedly installed on the left eye frame 111 and the right eye frame 112. The wearing frame 11 also includes elastic connecting straps 114 with both ends connected to the left eye frame 111 and the right eye frame 112 on the side away from the nose.
[0033] Specifically, when the injured person is wearing the irrigation device 1, the elastic connecting strap 114 is worn at the back of the injured person's head to fix the irrigation device 1 to the eyes. Furthermore, the injured person can adjust the connection angle between the left eye frame 111 and the rotating connecting block 113 to adjust the contact position between the eyewash cup 12 covering the left eye and the left eye area; similarly, the contact position between the eyewash cup 12 covering the right eye and the right eye area can be adjusted by adjusting the connection angle between the right eye frame 112 and the rotating connecting block 113.
[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the eyewash cup 12 is a cylindrical structure with a first opening 121 and a second opening. The ends of the two eyewash cups 12 are fixedly connected to the side of the left eye frame 111 and the right eye frame 112 facing the human eye, respectively. The first end of the eyewash cup 12 is provided with an elastic sealing strip 122 that can make a sealing contact with the eye socket. The elastic sealing strip 122 surrounds the axis of the first opening 121.
[0035] Specifically, when the injured person wears the rinsing device 1, the first opening 121 of the eyewash cup 12 surrounds the person's eye, and the elastic sealing strip 122 at the head end of the eyewash cup 12 contacts the skin of the eye. There is sufficient friction between the elastic sealing strip 122 and the skin of the eye so that the upper and lower eyelids can be kept open, which helps to rinse the cornea and other intraocular tissues.
[0036] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rinsing mechanism 13 includes an inlet pipe 131 and a nozzle 132. One end of the inlet pipe 131 is connected to the rinsing liquid supply device 2 via a delivery hose 24, and the other end of the inlet pipe 131 is connected to the inlet end of the nozzle 132. The outlet end of the nozzle 132 has a spray hole facing the human eye, and the diameter of the spray hole increases as the distance from the human eye decreases.
[0037] Specifically, when rinsing the eyes, the rinsing fluid enters the inlet pipe 131 from the rinsing fluid supply device 2 and then sprays out from the outlet end of the nozzle 132. The nozzle 132 is designed so that the orifice diameter increases as the distance from the eye decreases, which can reduce the pressure of the rinsing fluid sprayed from the outlet end of the nozzle 132, so that the fluid flow is gentle and the impact on the cornea is reduced.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the liquid inlet pipe 131 is threadedly connected to the cup wall of the eyewash cup 12 so that the liquid inlet pipe 131 can rotate circumferentially.
[0039] Specifically, the inlet pipe 131 is connected to the wall of the eyewash cup 12 by a thread. When it is necessary to strengthen the rinsing of a certain area of the eyes, the inlet pipe 131 can be rotated to change the orientation of the spray nozzle 132 to precisely rinse the specific eye area.
[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the rinsing fluid supply device 2 includes a waste fluid tank 22 for collecting waste fluid, a rinsing fluid container 21 for containing cleaning fluid, and a pumping mechanism 212. The inlet pipe 131 is connected to the interior of the rinsing fluid container 21 through the pumping mechanism 212. The rinsing fluid container 21 and the waste fluid tank 22 are detachably connected by a fastener.
[0041] Specifically, the pump mechanism 212 pumps the flushing fluid from the flushing fluid container 21 into the inlet pipe 131 for eye flushing. When the flushing fluid supply device 2 needs to be cleaned periodically, the waste liquid container 22 can be separated from the flushing fluid container 21 for easy cleaning.
[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, the chemical burn corneal irrigation device also includes a wall bracket for mounting on a wall, and the irrigation fluid supply device 2 can be placed on the wall bracket.
[0043] Specifically, a chemical burn corneal irrigation device can be installed near each process where chemical burns are highly likely to occur. To ensure the device does not obstruct workers' movement and work, a wall bracket can be used to mount the irrigation solution supply device 2 on a wall, with the irrigation device 1 placed on top of the supply device 2. Furthermore, placing the device at a suitable height on the wall allows the injured person to easily access the irrigation device 1, and during irrigation, the injured person only needs to slightly bend their head to allow the waste solution to flow from the second opening into the waste solution tank 22.
[0044] It should be noted that the wall support can be any structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not limit it.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the flushing liquid container 21 includes a first container body and a first lid 213 detachably connected to the top of the first container body, and the waste liquid container 22 includes a second container body and a second lid 221 detachably connected to the top of the second container body. Both the waste liquid container 22 and the flushing liquid container 21 are provided with a liquid discharge structure 23 at the bottom.
[0046] Specifically, when it is necessary to replenish the rinsing fluid container 21, the first container lid 213 can be opened to add fluid. When rinsing is required, the second container lid 221 of the waste liquid container 22 can be opened to allow the waste liquid container 22 to receive waste liquid. When it is necessary to clean the waste liquid container 22 and the rinsing fluid container 21, the liquid discharge structure 23 at the bottom can be opened to empty the internal liquid before cleaning.
[0047] like Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the pump mechanism 212 includes a mobile power supply, a pump switch, a distributor 2123, a supply pipeline 2121, and a pump 2122 mounted on the supply pipeline 2121; one end of the supply pipeline 2121 is connected to the bottom of the interior of the flushing liquid container 21, and the other end of the supply pipeline 2121 is connected to two delivery hoses 24 through the distributor 2123, which is capable of adjusting the flow rate; the mobile power supply and the pump switch are installed outside the flushing liquid container 21, and the pump switch can control the mobile power supply to power the pump 2122.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the liquid dispenser 2123 includes a dispensing chamber and two outlet pipes 21231 connected to the dispensing chamber. Each outlet pipe 21231 is connected to a delivery hose 24, and each outlet pipe 21231 is equipped with a flow control valve 2124, which can control the flow rate of the liquid sprayed from the two nozzles 132. The operator can turn on the liquid pump switch, and the power supply provides power to the liquid pump 2122. The liquid pump 2122 pumps the flushing liquid from the flushing liquid container 21 into the supply pipe. The flushing liquid then enters the dispensing chamber and flows through the two outlet pipes 21231 into the delivery hoses 24 connected to the two inlet pipes 131. Finally, the flushing liquid is sprayed from the outlet ends of the two nozzles 132. When the injured person only needs to flush one eye, only the flow control valve 2124 corresponding to that eye can be opened, while the other flow control valve 2124 remains closed. After use, the operator turns off the liquid pump switch.
[0049] It should be noted that the liquid dispenser 2123 can be any structural form that can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, and this utility model does not limit it.
[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, the rinsing fluid container 21 is equipped with a temperature control system and an electronic pH monitoring mechanism that can heat the rinsing fluid; the temperature control system, the pump mechanism 212 and the electronic pH monitoring mechanism are all signal connected to the control system 211.
[0051] Specifically, when rinsing the eyes, the temperature control system heats the rinsing solution to a temperature suitable for the human body, reducing irritation to the eyes and alleviating the pain of burns. The electronic pH monitoring system monitors the state of the rinsing solution. When using the chemical burn corneal rinsing device, the electronic pH monitoring system first monitors the rinsing solution. After confirming that there are no problems, the control system 211 controls the pump switch to activate the pump 2122, providing rinsing solution to the rinsing mechanism 13 to rinse the eyes.
[0052] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0053] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. To avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
[0054] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
