Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sleep aid eye mask technology, and in particular to an adjustable sleep aid eye mask for sleep disorders in the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] A search revealed a Chinese patent with authorization number CN217091128U, which discloses a sleep aid eye mask. The mask includes an eye mask body with a nose shield fixedly connected to the bottom center, the nose shield having an arc-shaped groove on its inner side. From the inside out, the eye mask body contains a water chamber, a heat-conducting plate, a heating element, a herbal pack, and a battery. The heat-conducting plate is located outside the water chamber, the heating element is fixedly connected to the outside of the heat-conducting plate, the battery is located outside the heating element, and a herbal pack is located adjacent to the heating element. A second fixing strap is fixedly connected to the left side of the eye mask body, and a Velcro fastener is fixedly connected to the outside of the second fixing strap.

[0003] The aforementioned sleep aid eye mask has the following shortcomings: Existing sleep eye masks are usually worn by putting them on the head with straps. When using them, the tightness of the straps needs to be adjusted to make the eye mask fit the face better. However, in order to make the eye mask block light better, the straps usually need to be adjusted to a tighter state to make the eye mask fit the face more closely. However, this process will result in a greater feeling of constriction on the head, which will not be comfortable for a long time, thus reducing the effectiveness of the sleep eye mask. Therefore, this problem needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an adjustable sleep aid eye mask for elderly people with sleep disorders.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An adjustable sleep aid eye mask for elderly people with sleep disorders includes an eye mask body. Fixing plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the eye mask body surface. A common strap is installed on both fixing plates. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the eye mask body. Arc-shaped airbags are installed at both ends inside the eye mask body. A fixing box is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate. The fixing box contains an inflation mechanism for the two arc-shaped airbags. An mounting box is mounted on the surface of the mounting plate. The mounting plate surface has a mounting mechanism for the mounting box. Two arc-shaped airbags are slidably connected to the surface of the eye mask body. The two arc-shaped pressure rods are fixedly connected to fixed rods at opposite ends. The two fixed rods are respectively attached to both ends of the eye mask body. The mounting box is equipped with a rotating mechanism for rotating the two arc-shaped pressure rods. Two eye grooves are provided on the other side of the surface of the eye mask body, and a nose groove is provided on the bottom surface of the eye mask body. The combination of the arc-shaped airbag and the arc-shaped pressure rods makes it easier for both ends of the eye mask body to fit better against the face during use. At the same time, the two arc-shaped pressure rods press down on both ends of the eye mask body, so the straps do not need to be adjusted too tightly during wear, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the device.

[0006] Preferably, the inflation mechanism includes an air pump, a connecting groove is provided inside the fixing box, the air pump is installed inside the connecting groove, a button is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting groove, one end of the button is slidably sleeved inside the connecting groove, one end of the button is in contact with the surface of the air pump, a connecting tube is fixedly connected to the surface of the air pump, one end of the connecting tube is inserted into the bottom of the fixing box, a one-way valve is installed on the connecting tube, a flexible tube is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two arc-shaped airbags, the two flexible tubes are fixedly connected to the same connecting tube at one end close to each other, the bottom end of the connecting tube is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting tube, and a vent valve is installed on the connecting tube, so that by continuously pressing the button, the air pump can inflate the two arc-shaped airbags, improving the fit of the two ends of the goggle body.

[0007] Furthermore, the installation mechanism includes two locking strips, which are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the mounting plate.

The lead screw nut cooperates with the lead screw to allow the knob and the lead screw to rotate, and with the cooperation of the lead screw nut, the slider can slide.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By continuously pressing the air pump, air will be delivered through the connecting tube and one-way valve to the two curved air bladders via two hoses. This will inflate the two curved air bladders, allowing the two ends of the goggles to fit better against the face, thus improving the effectiveness of the device.

[0011] 2. By turning the knob, the lead screw is driven to rotate. With the cooperation of the lead screw nut, the slider and the two lead screw nuts will slide. Under the restriction of the two fixed columns, the two rotating rods will rotate, which will cause the two arc-shaped pressure rods and the fixed rods to rotate. This allows control over the pressure of the two fixed rods on both ends of the eye mask body, making the two ends of the eye mask body fit the face better.

[0012] 3. During use, the mounting box can be installed or removed at will, allowing it to be used in different scenarios and improving the adjustability of the eye mask. Attached Figure Description
