[0036] Example 1

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The first embodiment of this utility model is: an eye mask, including a mask body 1 and an inner pad 2. The mask body 1 has an inner surface 11 and an outer surface 12. The inner pad 2 is detachably installed on the inner surface 11 of the mask body 1, and the inner pad 2 is provided with functional components 3.

[0038] The inner pad 2 has two functional areas, each corresponding to one of the wearer's eyes. Each functional area is equipped with the functional component 3, which can simultaneously soothe the wearer's eyes.

[0039] To facilitate the assembly and production of the inner pad 2, in some embodiments, the two functional areas are connected.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the cover 1 is provided with a through hole 13 connecting its inner surface 11 and outer surface 12. The functional component 3 is an electrical device. The inner pad 2 is provided with a control box 4 electrically connected to the functional component 3. The control box 4 is provided with a main control board for controlling the functional component 3. The control box 4 is set corresponding to the through hole 13. The through hole 13 can play the role of avoiding the control box 4, so as to prevent the presence of the control box 4 from affecting the user's comfort when wearing the eye mask.

[0041] In this embodiment, the number of the through hole 13 is one, and the through hole 13 is set at the position of one eye of the wearer. In other embodiments, the number of the through hole 13 may be two or more.

[0042] In some embodiments, the main control board is equipped with a wireless signal transmission module, such as a Bluetooth control module. The user controls the functional component 3 through a control terminal paired with the wireless signal transmission module. The control terminal includes, but is not limited to, a remote control, a mobile phone, etc. In this embodiment, the control box 4 is equipped with a control key 41 electrically connected to the main control board. The control key 41 is exposed on the outer surface 12 of the cover 1. It is easy to understand that it is precisely because of the presence of the through hole 13 that the control key 41 can be exposed on the outer surface 12 of the cover 1 so that the user can operate the control key 41. The control key 41 can be a button, a toggle switch, a rotary switch, etc.

[0043] In this embodiment, the control box 4 contains a battery electrically connected to the main control board. The control box 4 also has a charging interface 42 electrically connected to the main control board, allowing the user to charge the battery via the charging interface 42. Alternatively, the main control board has a wireless charging receiver module, allowing the user to charge the battery via an external wireless charging transmitter module, which works in conjunction with the wireless charging receiver module. In some embodiments, the control box 4 has a battery compartment for installing dry-cell batteries. The conductive terminals in the battery compartment are electrically connected to the main control board. The battery compartment cover is exposed on the outer surface 12 of the cover 1, allowing the user to replace the dry-cell batteries without removing the inner pad 2. In another embodiment, the control box 4 is connected to an external power cord electrically connected to the main control board. When the control box 4 is connected to the external power cord, the external power cord and the main control board inside the control box 4 can be either fixedly connected or connected via an electrical connector.

[0044] The control box 4 may also be equipped with a display module that is electrically connected to the main control board. The display module is exposed on the outer surface 12 of the cover 1 and can be used to display the remaining power, remaining working time, etc.

[0045] In some embodiments, the inner pad 2 is detachably connected to the cover 1 via buttons or other means. However, to facilitate user assembly and disassembly of the inner pad 2 and the cover 1, it is preferable that the inner pad 2 and the cover 1 are detachably connected via Velcro. In this embodiment, the control box 4 has a slot 43 that engages with the edge of the through hole 13. Specifically, the slot 43 is arranged in a circle around the perimeter of the control box 4. The cover 1 has a certain degree of deformation capability, allowing the edge of the through hole 13 on the cover 1 to fit into the slot 43. The material of the cover 1 can be sponge, etc. Providing a slot 43 on the control box 4 can more effectively fix the inner pad 2 and the cover 1, ensuring that the weight-concentrated area on the inner pad 2 does not easily separate from the cover 1.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the control box 4 is positioned near one end of the inner pad 2. The inner pad 2 has a first Velcro 21 on the side near the inner surface 11 of the cover 1, and a second Velcro 14 that mates with the first Velcro 21 is provided on the inner surface 11 of the cover 1. The first Velcro 21 is positioned near the other end of the inner pad 2. One end of the inner pad 2 is fixed by the snap-fit ​​between the control box 4 and the cover 1, while the other end is fixed to the cover 1 via a Velcro assembly. This reduces the amount of Velcro used and helps control the manufacturing cost of the eye mask.

[0047] The functional component 3 is at least one of a heating component, a massage component, a music playback component, and a steam generating component. When the functional component 3 is a combination of a music playback component and other electrical components, the music playback component can be directly installed inside the control box 4. The specific structures of the heating component, massage component, music playback component, and steam generating component are all existing technologies. There are already a large number of products on the market and a large number of patented technologies in the patent database. This application does not improve their specific structures, therefore, they will not be described in detail here.

[0048] In one or more embodiments, the functional component 3 may also be a disposable heating pack, which is the core heating component of the steam eye mask. It mainly contains iron powder, activated carbon, vermiculite, inorganic salts, and water. When the disposable heating pack is activated, the iron powder comes into contact with oxygen in the air and undergoes an oxidation reaction under the action of catalysts such as salts, releasing heat. Simultaneously, the water is heated to form steam, providing a warm and humid environment for the eyes.

[0049] It is easy to understand that when the functional component 3 is a disposable heating pack, the control box 4 can also be equipped with a music playback component, a steam generation component, etc. Moreover, even if other electrical devices are installed on the inner pad 2 as functional components 3, the disposable heating pack can also be used as another functional component 3. It can be seen that this eye mask has extremely high flexibility of use.

[0050] The cover 1 is connected to a headband 5.

[0051] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
