Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of contact lens wearing technology, and in particular to a contact lens wearing tool. Background Technology
[0002] Contact lenses are medical devices that come into direct contact with the eye's mucous membrane. Using clean contact lens tools can effectively reduce contamination from bacteria and other microorganisms, lowering the risk of bacterial eye infections and eye diseases. Currently, silicone hydrogel lenses are primarily composed of a composite of silicone and hydrogel, a material that gives these lenses high oxygen permeability, softness, and water-light properties.
[0003] In actual daily insertion and removal operations, conventional insertion and removal tools cannot effectively and quickly assist in the removal process. Because the silicon element in silicone hydrogel lenses has hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, after wearing, the oil secreted by the eyes will increase the adhesion between the lens and the cornea. Conventional insertion and removal tools do not have enough gripping force and are not flexible enough, which may cause breakage or damage when picking up the lens. The insertion and removal tools are easy to slip during insertion and removal, often requiring multiple operations, resulting in low efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved and enhanced. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a contact lens wearing tool. By setting a corrugated texture at the end of the tweezers, it can not only improve the gripping force of the tweezers, but also prevent the tweezers from damaging the contact lenses.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A contact lens wearing tool includes a first clamp and a second clamp, one end of the first clamp is connected to one end of the second clamp, and the other end of the first clamp and the other end of the second clamp are each provided with a clamping part for clamping the contact lens. The clamping part is provided with a medical-grade silicone layer, and the end of the clamping part is provided with a corrugated texture structure.
[0008] Furthermore, the corrugated texture structure includes corrugated bands arranged in an array, with two adjacent corrugated bands staggered.
[0009] Furthermore, the corrugated belt includes a plurality of corrugated grooves, and a channel is provided between two of the corrugated grooves.
[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the corrugated groove is provided with anti-slip marks.
[0011] Furthermore, the corrugated groove is elliptical in shape.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping part is embedded with a supporting bone, which is a soft supporting bone.
[0013] Furthermore, both the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm have an outward protrusion at their middle portions. When the outward protrusion is subjected to force, it deforms, causing the clamping portions on the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to clamp each other.
[0014] Furthermore, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are arranged in an arc shape.
[0015] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is provided at the connection between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm.
[0016] Furthermore, friction marks are provided on the protruding portion.
[0017] Compared to existing technologies, the contact lens wearing tool provided by this utility model includes a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm. One end of the first clamping arm is connected to one end of the second clamping arm. Both the other ends of the first and second clamping arms are provided with a gripping portion for gripping contact lenses. The gripping portion is provided with a medical-grade silicone layer, and the end of the gripping portion has a corrugated texture structure. In this utility model, the use of the medical-grade silicone layer increases elasticity during insertion and removal. The corrugated texture structure not only improves the gripping force of the tweezers but also prevents the tweezers from damaging the contact lenses. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the contact lens wearing tool provided by this utility model includes a first clamping arm 1 and a second clamping arm 2. One end of the first clamping arm 1 is connected to one end of the second clamping arm 2. The other end of the first clamping arm 1 and the other end of the second clamping arm 2 are both provided with a clamping part 3 for clamping contact lenses. The clamping part 3 is provided with a medical-grade silicone layer, and the end of the clamping part 3 is provided with a corrugated texture structure 4.
[0032] As an optional implementation, the surface of the gripping part 3 is covered with a medical-grade silicone layer, which is detachably connected to the first gripping arm 1 and the second gripping arm 2.
[0033] As another optional implementation, a medical-grade silicone layer is fixed to the surface of the clamping part 3, and the medical-grade silicone layer is integrally formed with the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2.
[0034] As another optional implementation, the clamping part 3 is a medical-grade silicone layer, which is detachably connected to the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2.
[0035] As another optional implementation, the clamping part 3 is a medical-grade silicone layer, which is integrally formed with the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2.
[0036] Understandably, medical-grade silicone layers are typically heat-resistant within the range of 250°C-300°C and can withstand various sterilization treatments to ensure safety during use. They also possess good resilience and minimal deformation (no more than 50% deformation after 48 hours at 200°C). This means the medical-grade silicone layer increases elasticity during insertion and removal, effectively enhancing the gripping force of the clamping part 3 when handling contact lenses. Furthermore, the medical-grade silicone layer exhibits good biocompatibility, being non-irritating, non-toxic, and non-allergenic to the human body, with minimal rejection reactions. The end of the clamping part 3 features a corrugated texture structure 4, which enhances adhesion. This structure provides more contact points, increasing the contact area of the adhesion surface and thus improving overall adhesion, allowing for one-time removal of silicone lenses from the mucous membrane.
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the medical-grade silicone layer in this utility model is non-toxic and non-irritating to human tissue and safe to use. The use of the medical-grade silicone layer can increase the elasticity when inserting and removing the contact lens, effectively increase the gripping force of the clamping part 3, and through the corrugated texture structure 4, it can not only improve the gripping force of the tweezers, but also prevent the tweezers from damaging the contact lens.
[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the corrugated texture structure 4 includes corrugated strips 41 arranged in an array. Two adjacent corrugated strips 41 are staggered, resulting in a compact distribution and ensuring that the surface of the end of the gripping part 3 is fully covered with corrugated strips 41. It should be noted that the corrugated strips 41 have a concave-convex structure. The fact that the surface of the end of the gripping part 3 is fully covered with corrugated strips 41 means that the end surface of the gripping part 3 has a concave-convex structure. When gripping contact lenses, this significantly increases the contact area with the contact lens, allowing the gripping part 3 to grip the contact lens more securely and effectively preventing slippage.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the corrugated strip 41 includes several corrugated grooves 411, and a channel 412 is provided between two corrugated grooves 411. It should be noted that the corrugated grooves 411 are like "suction cups", and the channel 412 is used to connect two adjacent corrugated grooves 411 on the same corrugated strip 41, so that the entire corrugated strip 41 is like a conjoined "suction cup", which can effectively improve the overall adhesion to contact lenses. The corrugated grooves 411 are recessed. When the clamping part 3 clamps the contact lens, the corrugated grooves 411 adhere to the contact lens like a "suction cup". Since contact lenses are worn on the eyeball for a long time, they tend to stick tightly to the eyeball. Generally, a large clamping force is required to remove the contact lens from the eyeball. However, the corrugated grooves 411 can generate a large suction force on the contact lens when the clamping part 3 clamps the contact lens, thereby allowing the contact lens to be removed from the eyeball.
[0040] It should be noted that when the contact lens is removed, the corrugated groove 411 changes from a state of complete adsorption to a state of partial adsorption, that is, the adsorption force of the corrugated groove 411 on the contact lens is reduced, making it easier to remove the contact lens from the clip part 3.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the corrugated groove 411 is provided with anti-slip marks 4111. It should be noted that when the clamping part 3 clamps the contact lens, if the corrugated groove 411 and the contact lens cannot be successfully adsorbed (there may be a difference in the pressing angle, which causes the corrugated groove 411 to fail to adsorb successfully on the contact lens), the anti-slip marks 4111 can increase the friction between the clamping part 3 and the contact lens. That is, the anti-slip marks 4111 can improve the clamping force between the clamping part 3 and the contact lens. Therefore, the anti-slip marks 4111 can play a second role in improving the clamping force.
[0042] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the corrugated groove 411 is elliptical, which allows the corrugated groove 411 at the end of the clamping part 3 to adhere to the contact lens as much as possible when the clamping part 3 applies clamping force to the contact lens. Since the end of the clamping part 3 is arc-shaped, the elliptical shape of the corrugated groove 411 can be better distributed on the end of the clamping part 3, so that the corrugated groove 411 at the end of the clamping part 3 can be more tightly packed, effectively improving the clamping force between the clamping part 3 and the contact lens.
[0043] Furthermore, the clamping part 3 incorporates a soft support bone (not shown in the figure), effectively enhancing the functionality and user experience of the contact lens clamping tool. The support bone is made of a soft yet elastic material, providing necessary support without damaging the contact lens. When the user uses the clamp to retrieve the contact lens, the support bone deforms according to its material properties, providing additional elastic support to the clamping part 3 and effectively preventing insufficient clamping force due to the material being too soft. In addition, the soft support bone has good resilience, maintaining its original shape and function even after repeated use, extending the product's lifespan. By incorporating a soft support bone into the clamping part 3, not only is safety and convenience improved during operation, but the product's durability and reliability are also enhanced, providing users with a more comfortable and efficient user experience.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, both the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 have outward protrusions 5 in their middle portions. When subjected to force, the outward protrusions 5 deform, causing the clamping portions 3 on the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 to clamp together. It can be understood that when retrieving contact lenses, applying pressure to the outward protrusions 5 allows the clamping portions 3 on the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 to clamp together. The outward protrusions 5 facilitate the user applying pressure to the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, resulting in a better clamping effect of the clamping portions 3 on the contact lenses.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the protruding part 5 is provided with friction marks 51. The friction marks 51 prevent slippage when the user presses the protruding part 5, ensuring that the user can press the protruding part 5 firmly, so that the gripping parts 3 of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 can clamp each other. When the user needs to use the gripping part 3 between the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 to fix or move an object, the good grip allows the user to apply force with more confidence, ensuring that the two clamping arms can work together tightly and stably. In addition, this ergonomic design also takes into account the comfort of long-term use, reducing the possibility of hand fatigue, making the entire tool both practical and user-friendly.
[0046] Furthermore, the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 adopt an arc-shaped design, which not only conforms to ergonomic principles but also greatly improves the practicality and efficiency of the gripping tool. When the user operates the gripping part 3 to grasp the contact lens, due to the arc-shaped structure of the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2, they can generate greater deformation under external force. This deformation capability means that the two clamping arms can more flexibly adapt to contact lenses of different sizes and shapes and can provide stronger gripping force, ensuring that the contact lens is firmly grasped without slipping or being damaged.
[0047] Furthermore, the curved design helps distribute pressure, reducing localized pressure on the contact lenses and thus lowering the risk of potential damage. This structure also makes the user experience more comfortable, reducing hand fatigue that may occur during prolonged use. Therefore, by making the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 curved, efficient task completion is ensured while also improving the user experience and preventing damage to the contact lenses.
[0048] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib 6 is provided at the connection between the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2. The reinforcing rib 6 can make the connection between the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 more stable, and can also make the rebound effect between the first clamping arm 1 and the second clamping arm 2 better.
[0049] In summary, the contact lens wearing tool provided by this utility model features a corrugated texture structure 4 that enhances adhesion. The staggered arrangement of two adjacent corrugated bands 41 significantly increases the contact area with the contact lens, allowing the gripping part 3 to hold the lens more securely and effectively preventing slippage. The anti-slip marks 4111 further enhance the gripping force. The elliptical shape of the corrugated grooves 411 ensures a tighter fit at the ends of the gripping part 3, further improving the gripping force between the gripping part 3 and the contact lens. Furthermore, the use of a medical-grade silicone layer increases elasticity during insertion and removal. The corrugated texture structure 4 not only improves the gripping force of the tweezers but also prevents the tweezers from damaging the contact lens.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive.

All of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
