Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treatment technology for meibomian gland dysfunction, specifically a treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction. Background Technology
[0002] Meibomian gland dysfunction is more common in the elderly, but there is no significant gender difference. The incidence rate is higher in cold regions than in warm climates. Symptoms are nonspecific and include red eyes, burning sensation, foreign body sensation, dryness, irritation, itching, eye fatigue, fluctuating vision, tearing, etc. The eyelid margin is often thickened and may be accompanied by signs such as erythema and hyperkeratosis. Permanent vascular dilation from back to front appears in the posterior layer of the eyelid margin. The openings of the meibomian glands are blocked by white keratin and protrude and deform. After squeezing, the secretions are foamy, granular, or toothpaste-like.
[0003] Meibomian gland dysfunction is often treated with warm compresses. A warm towel can be applied to the eyes for 10-15 minutes to promote the discharge of meibomian gland secretions. However, the heat generated by the towel is short-lived and needs to be changed frequently, which undoubtedly increases the complexity of the treatment.
[0004] Therefore, it is particularly important to design a treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and improve its overall practicality. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction includes two sets of symmetrically distributed outer shells. A soft silicone strip is wrapped around the front end and along the edge of each outer shell. A treatment eye mask is connected to the front end of each outer shell. Steam outlets are evenly distributed inside the treatment eye mask. A sealing baffle is connected to the front end of the outer side of each treatment eye mask. Adjustment straps are connected to the outer sides of both sets of outer shells facing opposite directions. Limiting holes are evenly distributed inside the rear adjustment strap. A limiting buckle that mates with the limiting holes is provided at the left rear end of the front adjustment strap. Binding straps are connected to the outer sides of both sets of outer shells facing opposite directions. A water storage box is provided inside each outer shell. A sealed water inlet penetrating the outer side of the outer shell is connected to the top of the water storage box. A heating wire is installed on the inner wall of the water storage box. A steam pipe is connected inside the water storage box. A thermostat is installed in the middle section of the steam pipe.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the treatment eye mask is connected in communication with the outer shell, and the other end of the steam pipe is connected to the treatment eye mask.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the sealing baffle is made of silicone material and has a suction cup structure with the opening facing outward.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the limiting hole and the limiting buckle is a snap-fit connection.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer side of the binding strap is sewn with Velcro, and the two sets of binding straps are connected by adhesive.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a control switch is provided on the top of the outer shell, wherein the control switch is connected to the heating wire and the thermostat via wires, and the connection is an electrical connection.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this invention, a treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction is provided, which can provide continuous steam heat therapy to the eyes. The heat therapy can dilate the meibomian gland openings and improve the discharge of secretions. It is more convenient and faster than using a towel, and can be adjusted according to the interocular distance. It can also be used for single-eye or double-eye heat therapy, making it easy to use and improving treatment efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] For examples, please refer to Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0024] A treatment device for meibomian gland dysfunction includes two sets of symmetrically distributed outer shells 1. The front end of the outer shell 1 and along its edge are wrapped with soft silicone strips 101 to increase comfort. The front end of the outer shell 1 is connected to a treatment eye mask 102. The treatment eye mask 102 has evenly distributed steam outlets 103 inside. The front end of the outer side of the treatment eye mask 102 is connected to a sealing baffle 104 to prevent steam leakage. The outer sides of the two sets of outer shells 1 are each connected to an adjustment strap 2 facing opposite directions. The adjustment strap 2 on the rear side has evenly distributed limit holes 201 inside. The left end of the rear side of the adjustment strap 2 on the front side is provided with a limit buckle 202 that cooperates with the limit hole 201. The outer sides of the two sets of outer shells 1 are each connected to a binding strap 3 facing opposite directions. The outer shell 1 is provided with a water storage box 4.
[0025] The treatment eye mask 102 is connected to the outer shell 1. The other end of the steam pipe 403 is connected to the treatment eye mask 102. The sealing baffle 104 is made of silicone and has a suction cup structure with the opening facing outward. The connection between the limiting hole 201 and the limiting buckle 202 is a snap-fit connection. The outer side of the binding strap 3 is sewn with Velcro. The two sets of binding straps 3 are connected by adhesive.
[0026] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The top of the water storage box 4 is connected to a sealed water inlet 401 that penetrates the outside of the outer shell 1. A heating wire 402 is installed on the inner wall of the water storage box 4. A steam pipe 403 is connected inside the water storage box 4. A thermostat 404 is installed in the middle section of the steam pipe 403.
[0027] The top of the outer casing 1 is equipped with a control switch, which is connected to the heating wire 402 and the thermostat 404 by wires, and the connection is electrical.
[0028] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, clean water (or medicinal liquid) is injected into the water storage box 4 through the sealed water inlet 401. Then, the heating wire 402 is activated to heat the liquid and generate steam. Then, the two sets of outer shells 1 are placed on the face around the eyes, so that the treatment eye mask 102 covers the eyes and wraps around the eyelids. The distance between the two sets of adjustment straps 2 can be adjusted according to the distance between the eyes. The limiting buckle 201 is fixed in the limiting hole 201 at the corresponding position. Then, the outer shell 1 is fixed to the head by the binding strap 3. The generated steam reaches the treatment eye mask 102 through the steam pipe 403 and acts on the eyes through the steam outlet 103. The hot compress can dilate the meibomian gland opening and improve the discharge of secretions. It is more convenient and faster than a towel.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
