Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens cleaning technology, specifically an anti-collision lens cleaning basket. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of ophthalmology and vision correction, Ortho-K lenses are widely used due to their effective vision correction and non-surgical, reversible nature. However, Ortho-K lenses are made of a special material with an extremely fragile surface. Even slight impacts can cause scratches, affecting their optical performance and usability, and consequently, adversely impacting the wearer's vision health.

[0003] With the increasing use of Ortho-K lenses, the demand for bulk cleaning is growing. In the field of lens cleaning, especially for high-precision and fragile lenses like Ortho-K lenses, impact protection during the cleaning process is crucial. Existing lens cleaning baskets have many problems in handling Ortho-K lens cleaning.

[0004] On the one hand, traditional cleaning baskets are not designed to fully consider the impact resistance of lenses. During the cleaning process, lenses are prone to colliding with each other due to the impact of water flow, resulting in scratches and reducing the lifespan and quality of the lenses. On the other hand, the current unloading method of cleaning baskets is not convenient or efficient enough. Lenses often need to be removed one by one, which is cumbersome and prone to secondary damage to the lenses due to human error.

[0005] In conclusion, developing a lens cleaning basket that can effectively prevent lens collisions and has a convenient discharge method is of great significance for improving the cleaning quality of Ortho-K lenses, extending lens lifespan, and increasing cleaning efficiency.

[0006] This invention provides an anti-collision lens cleaning basket, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A collision-resistant lens cleaning basket includes an outer basket, and a lens placement assembly is provided inside the outer basket. The lens placement assembly includes a tray, and the top of the tray is provided with multiple sets of variable lens receiving mechanisms, which are arranged in sequence. Each set of variable lens receiving mechanism includes two base rods fixedly installed on the top of the tray. The two base rods are arranged in parallel and multiple rotating partitions are rotatably connected between the two base rods. A lens placement area is provided between two adjacent rotating partitions. Each rotating partition has a horizontally penetrating and rotatably connected rotating shaft at its top. Multiple rotating shafts are fixedly connected to a traction rope. The front and rear frames are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the base rod, respectively. An elastic rope connects the rear frame to the rotating shaft closest to it. The traction ropes on multiple variable lens housing mechanisms are fixedly connected to a pull rod at the end near the front frame.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, side soft covers are fixedly connected to both sides between two adjacent rotating partitions.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the outer basket is fixedly connected with a plurality of vertical guide rods, the vertical guide rods pass through the support plate and are slidably connected thereto, and a support sleeve is fixedly provided on the outside of the vertical guide rods, the support sleeve being located below the support plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lifting handle is fixedly provided on the top of the tray.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, water passage holes are provided on the outer basket, tray, and side soft cover.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the side soft cover is made of silicone material.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a sliding member is provided on the outside of the rear frame. The sliding member is a slip ring, and the elastic rope is fixedly connected to the slip ring.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lifting rod is fixedly provided on the side of the front frame, and a pull rod is placed on the lifting rod.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages: 1. This utility model uses a variable lens holding mechanism to place lenses in sections by rotating a partition, which effectively avoids scratches caused by the collision of lenses due to water flow impact during batch cleaning, protects the integrity and optical performance of the lenses, extends the service life of the lenses, and reduces the cost of use.

[0016] 2. The pull handle on the top of the tray and the cooperation between the vertical guide rod and the tray sleeve make it easy to put the tray in and take it out, making the whole cleaning operation more convenient and efficient.

[0017] 3. By pulling the traction rod, multiple rotating partitions can be driven to rotate synchronously. When multiple partitions rotate synchronously in the same direction, the lens can be clamped. By flipping the tray and releasing the traction rod to reset the rotating partitions and release the lens, multiple lenses can be released synchronously, which can greatly improve the lens removal speed and ensure that the lens does not collide during the removal process.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-7 A collision-resistant lens cleaning basket includes an outer basket 1, and a lens placement assembly 2 is provided inside the outer basket 1; The lens placement assembly 2 includes a tray 3, and the top of the tray 3 is provided with multiple sets of variable lens receiving mechanisms 7, which are arranged in sequence. Both the outer basket 1 and the tray 3 are equipped with water holes to facilitate the flow of cleaning water.

[0029] Each set of variable lens receiving mechanism 7 includes two base rods 8 fixedly installed at the top of the tray 3. The two base rods 8 are arranged in parallel, and multiple rotating partitions 9 are rotatably connected between the two base rods 8. A lens placement area is provided between two adjacent rotating partitions 9. The lens placement area is used to place Ortho-K lenses (orthokeratology lenses) to be cleaned. When cleaning Ortho-K lenses (orthokeratology lenses) in batches, the partitioned placement can prevent the lenses from colliding with each other due to water flow impact and causing scratches. Each rotating partition 9 has a horizontally penetrating and rotatably connected rotating shaft 10 at its top. Multiple rotating shafts 10 are jointly and fixedly connected to a traction rope 11. The front end and the rear end of the base rod 8 are respectively fixedly connected to a front frame 15 and a rear frame 12. An elastic rope 13 is connected between the rear frame 12 and the nearest rotating shaft 10. The elastic rope 13 is connected to the rear frame 12 through a sliding member. Specifically, the sliding member can be a slip ring 17 sleeved on the outside of the rear frame 12. When the height of the elastic rope 13 changes, the connection position between the elastic rope 13 and the rear frame 12 also changes. The traction ropes 11 on the multiple sets of variable lens receiving mechanisms 7 are jointly and fixedly connected to a pull rod 16 at the end near the front frame 15. A lifting rod 18 is fixedly provided on the side of the front frame 15. The pull rod 16 is placed on the lifting rod 18, and the lifting rod 18 lifts the pull rod 16. In the cleaning state, the height of the traction rope 11 can be limited, thereby keeping the rotating partition 9 in a vertical state.

[0030] The width of the rotating shaft 10 is less than the width between the two front frames 15 to avoid structural interference between the rotating shaft 10 and the front frame 15 when the pull rod 16 is pulled.

[0031] Under normal conditions, the elastic rope 13 is in a normal traction posture, the pull rod 16 is pulled, and under the obstruction of the front frame 15, the pull rod 16 is in contact with the front frame 15. At this time, each rotating partition 9 is in a vertical state, which facilitates the placement and cleaning of the lens.

[0032] When the pull rod 16 is pulled, multiple rotating partitions 9 will be pulled synchronously through the traction rope 11 until the rotating partitions 9 clamp the Ortho-K mirror located on the support plate 3.

[0033] Side soft covers 14 are fixedly connected to both sides between two adjacent rotating partitions 9. The side soft covers 14 also have water passage holes to facilitate the flow of cleaning water. The side soft covers 14 are made of silicone material.

[0034] Multiple vertical guide rods 4 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer basket 1. The vertical guide rods 4 pass through the support plate 3 and are slidably connected to it. A support sleeve 5 is fixedly provided on the outside of the vertical guide rods 4, and the support sleeve 5 is located below the support plate 3.

[0035] A lifting handle 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the tray 3. The lifting handle 6 can be installed in a suitable position on the tray 3 as needed.

[0036] In the implementation of this utility model, the tray 3 is first lifted by pulling the handle 6, so that the tray 3 rises a certain distance on the vertical guide rod 4, which facilitates the placement of the lens.

[0037] Carefully place the Ortho-K lens to be cleaned in the lens placement area between adjacent rotating partitions 9, with one Ortho-K lens to be cleaned in each lens placement area.

[0038] Next, the cleaning process is carried out. The cleaning basket containing the lenses is placed into the cleaning equipment, ensuring that the water flow from the cleaning equipment can fully cover the cleaning basket.

[0039] Start the cleaning equipment. The cleaning water flows through the water holes on the outer basket 1, the support plate 3, and the side soft cover 14 to clean the lens from all angles. During the cleaning process, observe the operation of the cleaning equipment and the water flow through the cleaning basket to ensure that the cleaning process is proceeding normally.

[0040] After cleaning, turn off the cleaning equipment, remove the cleaning basket from the equipment, and lift the tray 3 using the handle 6 to remove it from the outer basket 1. Remove the pull rod 16 from the lifting rod 18 and pull it diagonally downwards. The pull rod 16 moves the traction rope 11, thereby causing multiple rotating partitions 9 to rotate. At this time, the height of the traction rope 11 decreases, and the slip ring 17 slides downwards on the rear frame 12. The rotating partition 9 changes from a vertical state to an inclined state, and the angle between the rotating partition 9 and the tray 3 gradually decreases. The distance between two rotating partitions 9 gradually decreases until two adjacent rotating partitions 9 clamp the Ortho-K mirror. During the rotation of the rotating partition 9, the side soft cover 14 will deform along with the rotation of the rotating partition 9.

[0041] Then, the entire tray 3 is flipped over so that the variable lens receiving mechanism 7 faces downwards. The variable lens receiving mechanism 7 is placed close to the platform used to collect the lenses. Then, the pull rod 16 is released, and under the action of the elastic rope 13, the partition 9 is rotated to achieve reset. Multiple Ortho-K lenses are released from the clamp and fall down, thus achieving one-time overall discharge. The discharge is convenient and will not damage the cleaned Ortho-K lenses.
