[0052] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution described in this patent has at least one or more of the following beneficial effects:
[0053] This contact lens care and disinfection equipment facilitates the management of trial contact lenses in hospitals or optometry clinics, making it more convenient and preventing clutter. It also allows for the cleaning and care of trial lenses, making them easier for users to try. Multiple care or cleaning compartments enable effective management of trial lenses, making them easier to store and significantly increasing cleaning and care efficiency. Of course, this patent is not limited to trial lenses.
[0054] The cleaning kit is generally used to clean contact lenses before they are inserted into the eye, as there may be residue of glass cleaner, lubricant, or contact lens solution on the lenses. If these residues are not cleaned, the contact lenses may turn yellow. It can also be used in conjunction with the post-treatment cleaning kit to remove any residual contact lens solution from the treated lenses.
[0055] The control panel and nursing compartment base are set up separately, which facilitates the connection and operation of multiple nursing compartment bases by the control panel, saving on usage costs. At the same time, the integrated control panel has more complete functions and more convenient monitoring.
[0056] The groove can hold the contact lens and also facilitates water control after the contact lens has been cleaned. Drain holes are provided in the groove to prevent water from accumulating inside.
[0057] The top cover is easy to remove from the care compartment base, allowing for convenient care of the contact lens as needed.
[0058] The design incorporates a circular ultrasonic line, ensuring it is ultrasonically welded on the same plane. This design prevents leaks during sealing, ensuring excellent airtightness and eliminating the risk of capillary action causing mixing of solutions in the nursing and auxiliary chambers. Furthermore, this design brings the sealing line closer to the ultrasonic source.
[0059] This patent uses a neutral NaCl solution as the base solution for skincare products, which is inexpensive and readily available, reducing skincare costs for consumers. The neutral NaCl solution contains no added acidic or alkaline substances, is non-corrosive, has no chemical hazards, and is highly safe, significantly reducing production, storage, and transportation costs.
[0060] This patent applies to rigid contact lenses, including but not limited to orthokeratology (Ortho-k) lenses, scleral lenses, RGP lenses, and composite lenses, with a particular focus on Ortho-k lenses. Ortho-k lenses are rigid gas-permeable contact lenses with corneal reshaping capabilities, typically made of highly oxygen-permeable rigid corneal contact lens materials.
[0061] When the power supply to the first and second electrodes inside the nursing chamber is turned on, one of the electrodes serves as the cathode and the other as the anode. The cathode continues to generate OH-. - The anode will react with Cl in the solution inside the inner chamber. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which dissolves in a strongly alkaline solution inside the chamber to produce NaClO and NaCl. - It can sterilize and degrade proteins on contact lenses. The proteins on the contact lenses also move towards the electrode with the opposite charge under the action of the electric field force formed between the anode and cathode, ultimately achieving the effect of sterilizing and removing proteins from the contact lenses.
[0062] The electrochemical cleaning and sterilization technology of this patent has excellent sterilization and protein removal effects, effectively degrades proteins, sterilizes instantly, and does not damage the contact lens itself during the sterilization and protein removal process. It has good stability and low toxicity and side effects.
[0063] Commercially available contact lens solutions can easily damage contact lenses, and their sterilization rate is only around 90%. This patented solution achieves instant sterilization, not only with excellent sterilization effect but also with rapid sterilization speed. It achieves a 99% bacterial kill rate and a 99% fungal kill rate within 3 minutes, and kills Bacillus subtilis within 10 minutes, reaching the sterilization level.
[0064] When the first and second electrodes in the nursing chamber of this patent are energized, the chloride ion solution generates several types of oxidizing substances and free radicals, especially hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ions, which can damage the peptide chains of proteins. The preferred mass concentration of hypochlorite ions in this patent is 0.1%, and the hypochlorite ion concentration of solution A in the AB solution is 0.375%. Although the AB solution can achieve good sterilization and protein removal effects, the contact lens cannot be immersed in the AB solution for a long time; otherwise, the AB solution will damage the contact lens, such as causing fading and corrosion. This patent, due to the addition of electrophoresis technology, achieves excellent sterilization and protein removal effects with a preferred hypochlorite ion concentration of 0.1%, less than one-third of that in the AB solution. This makes it safer and easier to use, and by appropriately controlling relevant parameters, it can reduce fading of the contact lens and prevent coating damage and corrosion.
[0065] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0078] Please see Figures 1-7 ,like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a contact lens care and disinfection device for rigid contact lenses, including a care chamber base 1 and an operating table 2. The care chamber base 1 and the operating table 2 are connected by wires or wirelessly. Multiple care chambers 11 are provided on the care chamber base 1. The multiple care chambers 11 are arranged in a regular or irregular manner on the care chamber base 1. When in use, the care chambers are filled with care solution.
[0079] The nursing compartment 11 is provided with at least one first electrode 1122 and at least one second electrode 1123, wherein the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are electrically opposite.
[0080] The nursing compartment 11 is covered by a top cover 12. The top cover 12 has a groove 121 at a position corresponding to the nursing compartment 11, and the lens can be placed in the groove 121.
[0081] The control panel 2 includes at least a control button 21 and a control system. The control button 21 is connected to the control system and is configured to control the operation of the nursing compartment 11 on the nursing compartment base 1 through the control system.
[0082] This contact lens care and disinfection equipment facilitates the management of trial contact lenses in hospitals or optometry clinics, making it more convenient and preventing clutter. Trial lenses can be easily placed without being messy or disorganized. It can also clean and care for trial lenses, making them more convenient for users. Multiple care or cleaning compartments allow for effective management of trial lenses, making them easier to store and significantly increasing care and cleaning efficiency. Of course, this patent is not limited to trial lenses.
[0083] In this example, the exchange membrane is a cation exchange membrane. Of course, other exchange membranes suitable for maintaining contact lenses could also be used.
[0084] In the example, the bottom of the inner compartment is welded or glued to the bottom wall of the outer compartment.
[0085] In a preferred example, multiple care compartments 11 are arranged in an array on a care compartment base 1.
[0086] In a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 1-2 and Figure 6-7 As shown, a drain hole 122 is provided at the bottom of the groove 121, and the drain hole 122 is configured so that liquid in the groove 121 can flow into the corresponding care chamber 11 below it. More preferably, a handle 123 is provided on the side of the top cover to facilitate opening the top cover 12. In this example, the handle 123 is a notch. The top cover is easily removed from the care chamber base, facilitating the care of the contact lens as needed.
[0087] In use, remove the top cover 12 to place the contact lens in the care chamber for care. After care, the top cover 12 can be closed onto the care chamber base. The cared-up contact lens can then be placed in the groove to drain water or for the user to try on. Alternatively, the cared-up contact lens can be temporarily placed in the groove. The groove serves both to hold the contact lens and to facilitate water drainage after care. Drainage holes are provided in the groove to prevent water accumulation.
[0088] Preferably, the nursing compartment base is provided with a disinfection component, which is capable of disinfecting the groove 121. More preferably, the disinfection component includes, but is not limited to, an ultraviolet lamp, etc.
[0089] Furthermore, an outer cover is provided, which fits onto the base of the nursing compartment. Specifically, the outer cover fits onto the top cover of the nursing compartment base.
[0090] In a further preferred embodiment, the disinfection component is located on the top cover or inside the outer cover. When the outer cover is closed on the nursing compartment base, the disinfection component disinfects and sterilizes the groove. In addition, a foolproof sensor is provided; if the outer cover is not closed on the nursing compartment base, the foolproof sensor instructs the control system not to activate the disinfection component.
[0091] Preferred, such as Figure 7 As shown, both the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 extend sequentially from the bottom of the outer compartment through the bottom wall of the nursing compartment into the nursing compartment. In this example, both the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are sealed to the nursing compartment. Specifically, the first electrode 1122 is sealed to the nursing compartment via a sealing ring, and the second electrode 1123 is also sealed to the nursing compartment via a sealing ring. In this example, the tail ends of both the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 protrude outside the bottom of the nursing compartment for electrical connection.
[0092] Preferred, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are symmetrically arranged inside the nursing chamber 112. Both the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are close to the side wall of the inner chamber 112 to obtain a better protein removal effect.
[0093] In the example, the first electrode 1122 is the positive electrode and the second electrode 1123 is the negative electrode. Of course, this patent is not limited to this; either the first electrode 1122 or the second electrode 1123 can be the positive electrode and the other the negative electrode.

[0095] Preferably, the nursing solution is a chloride ion-containing solution. In the example, the nursing solution is 0.9% physiological saline.
[0096] The specific steps for using the nursing cabin are as follows:
[0097] S1, Pour a chloride ion solution into the nursing chamber, and place the contact lens in the chloride ion solution inside the nursing chamber;
[0098] S2, connect the power supply to the first and second electrodes. One of the first and second electrodes is the anode, and the other is the cathode. The cathode electrolyzes H2O in the solution to produce H2 and OH-. - The anode will react with Cl in the solution. - Electrolysis produces Cl2, which reacts with sodium hydroxide in the solution to produce HCl and HClO. HClO can sterilize the contact lens and degrade proteins on it. The proteins on the contact lens also move towards the electrode opposite to their own charge under the influence of the electric field force formed between the anode and cathode, thus achieving sterilization and protein removal of the contact lens.
[0099] Preferably, the chloride ion-containing solution is a NaCl solution. More preferably, the NaCl solution is a 0.9% (w / w) physiological saline solution. More preferably, the pH value of the NaCl solution is 7.
[0100] In step S2, the power-on voltage for connecting the first and second electrodes is not less than 1.1V, and the stable voltage after connecting the first and second electrodes is 3.5-6.5V, controlling the ClO in the solution. - The mass concentration is 0.01%-0.4%, and the cleaning and sterilization of the contact lens is completed after the first electrode and the second electrode react for 10-30 minutes.
[0101] In step S2, after the first and second electrodes are powered on, the following reactions occur at the cathode and anode:
[0102] Cathode: 2H₂O + 2e⁻ - =H2↑ + 2OH - (I)
[0103] Anode: 2Cl - -2e- →Cl2↑ (Ⅱ)
[0104] Cl₂ + H₂O = HCl + HClO (III)
[0105] The obtained HClO will undergo the following reaction:
[0106] HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H₂O (IV)
[0107] HClO + NaOH =NaClO + H2O (Ⅴ)
[0108] NaClO + H₂O = HClO + NaOH (VI)
[0109] The above reaction principle is used to care for, disinfect, and sterilize contact lenses.

[0112] In the example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6-7 As shown, the tail ends of the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are both provided with threads and limiting heads. After the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 pass through the circuit board and the outer compartment in sequence and extend into the inner compartment, the tail ends of the first electrode 1122 and the second electrode 1123 are both screwed and fixed on the circuit board.
[0113] Preferably, the nursing compartment base 1 has a receiving cavity 14, and a power supply component 15 is provided in the receiving cavity 14, which can provide power to the nursing compartment.
[0114] In this example, the receiving cavity 14 is located below a plurality of care compartments 11. In this example, the circuit board 13 is received within the receiving cavity 14 below the care compartment.
[0115] Preferred, such as Figure 2-3 and Figure 6-7 As shown, the nursing compartment base 1 includes a nursing compartment base body 17 and a bottom cover 18. The nursing compartment base body 17 has a receiving cavity 14 at its bottom, and the bottom cover 18 closes onto the opening of the receiving cavity 14. In this example, the circuit board is fixed to the receiving cavity at the bottom of the nursing compartment via a first electrode and a second electrode. Preferably, the bottom cover 18 is screwed or snapped onto the nursing compartment base body.
