Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of eye care technology, specifically to a portable physiotherapy device for steaming and hot compressing dry eye syndrome. Background Technology

[0002] Dry eye disease (DED), also known as dry eye syndrome (DES), keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), and keratitis sicca, is a multifactorial ocular surface disease caused by tear film homeostasis imbalance. Patients often experience ocular discomfort and visual impairment due to tear film instability, ocular surface inflammation, and sensory abnormalities. As a common type of ocular surface disease (OSD), dry eye disease can also co-occur with conditions such as limbal vapor cell dysfunction and graft-versus-host disease. Clinically, dry eye disease is mainly divided into evaporative dryness type and hypotearative dryness type, requiring targeted treatments such as warm compresses and cold therapy, respectively.

[0003] However, existing dry eye treatment devices have many shortcomings. First, they are limited in function, with most only providing ocular atomization and steaming, failing to meet the differentiated treatment needs of different types of dry eye. Second, they are bulky and require fixed use, resulting in poor portability and limited usage scenarios, making it difficult to meet patients' urgent need for treatment at any time. Third, the operation process is complex, requiring professional guidance, increasing the difficulty of use. Fourth, the equipment maintenance costs are high. Therefore, how to develop a detachable, multi-module, highly flexible dry eye therapy device to achieve precise treatment is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable physiotherapy device for steaming and applying heat to dry eye syndrome includes: a base with a first groove formed on its side wall and a second groove formed on its top; an atomizing structure detachably disposed in the first groove for converting liquid into atomized gas, the atomizing structure including a liquid storage tank and an atomizing component arranged vertically; a steaming structure connected to the atomizing structure for steaming the atomized gas onto the eye area; and a heat-applying structure detachably disposed in the second groove for applying heat to the eye area after removal.

[0007] According to one example, the liquid storage tank includes a tank body for loading liquid and a first communication port disposed at the bottom of the tank body; the atomizing assembly includes a cylinder body, the top of the cylinder body having a second communication port that mates with the first communication port, the side wall of the cylinder body forming an atomized gas outlet, the interior of the cylinder body including a metal diaphragm fixed to the inner wall of the cylinder body and a piezoelectric ceramic sheet pressed onto the upper part of the metal diaphragm, a positive terminal being disposed on one side of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet, and a negative terminal being disposed on one side of the metal diaphragm, the metal diaphragm being used to convert the liquid into atomized gas.

[0008] According to one example, the cylinder is also provided with a counter-current fan for guiding cooling gas, which is located below the metal diaphragm, wherein an atomizing mixing zone is formed between the metal diaphragm and the counter-current fan, and the atomized gas outlet is located on the side wall of the atomizing mixing zone.

[0009] According to one example, the flow direction of the atomized gas generated by the metal diaphragm is opposite to the flow direction of the cooling gas drawn by the counter-current fan.

[0010] According to one example, a holder is provided in the first groove, and the liquid storage tank is detachably mounted on the holder.

[0011] According to one example, the atomizing component is detachably disposed within the first groove.

[0012] According to one example, the fumigation structure includes a cover with one side open for covering the outer periphery of the eyes, the interior of the cover forming a space for receiving the atomized gas, and a transparent cover plate on the other side of the cover plate having an atomized gas inlet connected to the atomized gas outlet.

[0013] According to one example, the heat therapy structure includes a housing detachably disposed in the second recess and a heating assembly disposed within the housing.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 This paper illustrates an embodiment of a portable physiotherapy device for steaming and applying heat to dry eye syndrome. The device mainly includes a base 1, an atomizing structure 2, a steaming structure 3, and a heat application structure 4. The atomizing structure 2 and the heat application structure 4 are detachably mounted on the base 1. The atomizing structure 2 is connected to the external steaming structure 3 via a delivery tube 303. The device converts liquid into atomized gas through the atomizing structure 2, which is then applied to the eyes via the steaming structure 3. Combined with the heat application structure 4, this effectively relieves symptoms such as dryness and fatigue in patients with dry eye syndrome.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 The seat 1 has a first groove 101 on its side wall, into which the atomizing structure 2 is detachably embedded, effectively reducing interference from external impacts, dust, and other factors. The top of the seat 1 has a second groove 102, which is strip-shaped and matches the shape of the heating structure 4. A battery, such as a rechargeable lithium battery, is installed inside the seat 1. The battery is connected to both the atomizing structure 2 and the heating structure 4 via circuitry, providing them with power. A power interface 103 is formed on the end wall of the seat 1 for connecting to an external power source to charge the battery, ensuring continuous operation even when disconnected from an external power source, thus enhancing its portability and flexibility of use.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , 45. The atomizing structure 2 is used to convert liquid into atomized gas. It includes a liquid storage tank 201 arranged vertically and an atomizing component 202, which can be easily replaced and maintained through modular design.

[0033] A holder 101a is provided within the first groove 101, and the liquid storage tank 201 is detachably mounted on the holder 101a within the first groove 101 of the base 1. The liquid storage tank 201 includes a tank body 201a for holding liquid and a first connecting port 201a1 located at the bottom of the tank body 201a. The tank body 201a is cylindrical, and the holder 101a has a corresponding concave arc-shaped groove for easy disassembly to replace or add liquid. The liquid includes, but is not limited to, artificial tears, anti-inflammatory drugs, or saline solution, which are commonly used liquids for treating dry eye. The bottom of the tank body 201a has a first connecting port 201a1, which serves as a liquid output and input channel to provide liquid to the atomizing component 202.

[0034] The atomizing component 202 is located directly below the liquid storage tank 201 and is detachably installed in the first groove 101. The detachable connection to the groove can be achieved through methods including, but not limited to, magnetic connection, keying, and snap-fit, ensuring a secure installation and easy maintenance. The atomizing component 202 includes a cylinder 202a, with a second connecting port 202a1 at the top that matches the first connecting port 201a1, allowing for smooth liquid delivery. An atomizing gas outlet 202a2 is formed on the side wall of the cylinder 202a, serving as an output channel for the atomized gas. In an embodiment not shown, a switching valve is also provided between the first connecting port 201a1 and the second connecting port 202a1 to control the amount of liquid entering the cylinder 202a from the tank 201a.

[0035] The interior of the cylinder 202a includes a metal diaphragm 202b fixed to the inner wall and a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 202c pressed onto the metal diaphragm 202b. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 202c has a positive terminal 202c1 on one side, and the metal diaphragm 202b has a negative terminal 202b1 on one side. The positive and negative terminals 202c1 and 202b1 are connected to a power source located inside the base 1 via wires. Multiple through-holes 202b2 are arranged in an array in the middle of the metal diaphragm. The cross-section of the through-holes 202b2 is funnel-shaped, which optimizes the flow of liquid as it passes through, making the subsequent atomization of the liquid more efficient and uniform. By applying an alternating electric field of 1-3MHz to the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 202c through a power source, the piezoelectric effect is used to generate high-frequency vibration, which drives the metal diaphragm 202b to vibrate in tandem, thereby breaking the liquid into 10-50μm micron-sized particles to form an atomized gas, which is suitable for gentle penetration into the eyes.

[0036] A counter-current fan 202d for guiding cooling gas is also installed inside the cylinder 202a, located below the metal diaphragm 202b. An atomizing mixing zone is formed between the metal diaphragm 202b and the counter-current fan 202d, with the atomized gas outlet 202a2 located on the side wall of this mixing zone. During operation, the atomized gas generated under high-frequency vibration has a high temperature. The cooling gas guided by the counter-current fan 202d mixes with the atomized gas, thereby reducing the temperature of the atomized gas and making the output atomized gas temperature more suitable. Furthermore, the flow direction of the atomized gas generated by the metal diaphragm 202b is opposite to the flow direction of the cooling gas guided by the counter-current fan 202d. That is, the high-temperature atomized gas generated by the metal diaphragm 202b and the cooling gas introduced by the counter-current fan 202d flow in opposite directions. This counter-current design increases the contact area and mixing time of the two gases, effectively reducing the temperature of the atomized gas to a suitable temperature range for eye treatment, while also improving the uniformity of gas mixing.

[0037] The cylinder 202a includes a top cover, an annular wall, and a base. The second connecting port 202a1 is located on the top cover, the atomizing gas outlet 202a2 is located on the side of the annular wall, and the base has an air inlet 202a3 for supplying cooling gas to the counter-current fan 202d to guide it into the atomizing mixing zone. In an embodiment not shown, a cooling gas inlet may be provided on the side or bottom of the base 1, and the air inlet 202a3 may be connected to the cooling gas inlet through a pipeline.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 The fumigation structure 3 is connected to the atomizing structure 2 and is used to fumigate the eyes with atomized gas, thereby effectively relieving dry eye symptoms. The fumigation structure 3 includes a cover 301, one side of which is open and designed to cover the outer periphery of the eyes. In other words, the shape and size of the opening on one side of the cover 301 are adapted to the outer contour of the human eye, allowing it to fit closely to the skin around the eyes and form a relatively enclosed fumigation space. The interior of the cover 301 forms a space to receive the atomized gas, providing a carrier for the transmission, diffusion, and contact of the atomized gas with the eyes.

[0039] A transparent cover plate 302 is provided on the other side of the cover 301. The transparent material makes it easy for users to observe the eye treatment. The transparent cover plate 302 has an atomized gas inlet 302a connected to the atomized gas outlet 202a2. The atomized gas outlet 202a2 is connected to the atomized gas inlet 302a through the delivery pipe 303. The connection method can be magnetic connection, snap-fit, bolt connection, etc., to ensure that there is no leakage during the delivery of atomized gas, and also to facilitate the separation of the fumigation structure 3 for cleaning and maintenance after use.

[0040] In an embodiment not shown, an annular sealing ring is also provided between the transparent cover 302 and the cover 301 to enhance the sealing performance. A regulating valve is provided at the atomizing gas inlet 302a to adjust the input flow rate of the atomizing gas.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 The heating structure 4 can be detached from the base 1 and used directly for eye heating. Through controllable heat stimulation, it effectively relieves symptoms such as eye fatigue and dryness, and enhances the therapeutic effect in conjunction with the atomizing steam function. The heating structure 4 includes a housing 401 detachably disposed in the second groove 102 and a heating component 402 disposed in the housing 401. The housing 401 is strip-shaped and matches the shape of the second groove 102. The two sides of the housing 401 are symmetrically formed with arc-shaped grooves, making it easy for the user to remove the heating structure 4 from the second groove 102.

[0042] The heating assembly 402 includes a power supply (not shown in the figure), an electronic component 402b, and at least one heating rod 402a arranged in series. A power switch 401a connected to the power supply circuit is provided on the side of the housing 401. The power supply is a rechargeable lithium battery, and the electronic component 402b is a microcontroller, whose main function is to adjust the power of the heating element to ensure the temperature and time of the heating rod 402a. There are two heating rods 402a, which are arranged perpendicular to each other along the length of the housing 401, so that the heat can be more evenly distributed to the entire surface of the housing 401.

[0043] One end of the housing 401 is provided with a first charging interface 401b that is connected to the power circuit, and a second charging interface 102a that cooperates with the first charging interface 401b is provided in the second groove 102. The first charging interface 401b and the second charging interface 102a are Type-C interfaces.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper part of the base 1 is also equipped with a display panel 5, which is used to control and monitor the data of the atomized gas. The display panel 5 is electrically connected to the atomizing structure 2. The display panel 5 is equipped with multiple operation buttons, which the user can press to adjust the working status of the atomizing structure 2, such as turning the atomization function on or off. The data of the atomized gas to be monitored includes, but is not limited to, the temperature, humidity, and flow rate of the atomized gas. Sensor components are configured at corresponding positions on the atomizing structure 2 and electrically connected to the display panel 5. For example, a temperature and humidity sensor is configured on the side wall of the atomization mixing zone, and a flow sensor is configured at the atomized gas outlet 202a2, etc.
