Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically to an eye drop auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] Eye drops are the most commonly used medication for patients with eye diseases and play an important role in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases. However, although the procedure of administering eye drops seems simple, patients often face difficulties in practice because they cannot accurately judge the height of the eye drop bottle and the positioning of the eye drop.

[0003] Patent document (CN210644313U) discloses an eye drop auxiliary device, including a cylindrical fixing ring. An eye drop bottle is detachably mounted on the top of the fixing ring, and an elastic bracket is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the fixing ring at a corresponding position. An arc-shaped eyelid-opening flap, made of silicone, is fixedly mounted on the end of the elastic bracket furthest from the fixing ring. It should be noted that while the eyelid-opening flap comes into contact with the skin of the eye socket during use, the following issues arise: Since both the elastic bracket and the eyelid-opening flap are fixedly connected to the fixing ring and cannot be detached, cross-infection may occur at the eyelid-opening flap when multiple people use it. Furthermore, in medical use, the entire device must be discarded after each use, resulting in high costs. Additionally, because eye drop bottles come in various sizes, while the mounting hole of the fixing ring has a constant diameter, its versatility is insufficient.

[0022] Indicative eye drop assist device, for reference Figures 1 to 4 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an eye drop auxiliary device includes a mounting base 10 and two contact feet 20. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 10 has a mounting hole 101 and two extension legs 102. The contact legs 20 correspond one-to-one with the extension legs 102, and each contact leg 20 is detachably connected to the corresponding extension leg 102.

[0023] It should be noted that the material of the contact foot 20 is preferably rubber. During use, the contact foot 20 comes into contact with the skin near the eye socket. By making the contact foot 20 detachably connected to the extension foot 102, after use on a medical patient, the contact foot 20 can be discarded and replaced with another contact foot 20 connected to the extension foot 102 for use on another medical patient, thus avoiding cross-infection. In home use, the contact foot 20 can also be replaced after a predetermined number of uses to ensure eye hygiene. Compared with the prior art, this application has the advantages of a replaceable contact part and better hygiene.

[0024] Furthermore, the diameter of the mounting hole 101 is fixed to accommodate various eye drop bottles. In this application, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the mounting base 10 has a plurality of abutment members 103. The abutment members 103 are slidably disposed on the mounting base 10 along the circumference of the mounting base 10. After the abutment members 103 slide a predetermined distance, the abutment members 103 extend into the mounting hole 101 at a predetermined angle.

[0025] It should be noted that after the front end of the eye drop bottle is inserted into the mounting hole 101, the abutment 103 is slid a predetermined distance and then abuts against the front end of the eye drop bottle to fix the eye drop bottle. Since the abutment 103 is slidably set, it can adapt to eye drop bottles of various sizes. Compared with the prior art, it has the advantage of being adaptable to various sizes of eye drop bottles and having better versatility.

[0026] Furthermore, to achieve the sliding of the abutment 103, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the side wall of the mounting base 10 has an annular groove 104 and a plurality of sliding holes 105. The two ends of the sliding holes 105 are respectively connected to the annular groove 104 and the mounting hole 101. Each sliding hole 105 has a sliding abutment 103. The eye drop auxiliary device also includes a rotating ring. The inner wall of the rotating ring has a plurality of diameter-changing parts 301. The diameter-changing parts 301 contact the abutment 103. When the rotating ring rotates, the abutment 103 slides along the sliding hole 105.

[0027] It should be noted that the minimum size of the variable diameter part 301 is the inner diameter of the rotating ring, and then gradually decreases in an arc. Assuming that the abutment 103 is in contact with the inner diameter of the rotating ring in the initial state, when the rotating ring rotates by a predetermined angle, the abutment 103 contacts the variable diameter part 301, which can be regarded as the inner diameter at this point becoming smaller and smaller. The abutment 103 is subjected to a thrust that moves towards the central axis of the mounting hole 101, so as to realize the sliding of the abutment 103.

[0028] Furthermore, to enable the abutment 103 to slide away from the central axis of the mounting hole 101 when the variable diameter portion 301 moves toward the inner wall of the rotating ring, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, each of the sliding holes 105 has a receiving groove 1051 on one side, and an elastic member 1052 is provided in the receiving groove 1051. The two ends of the elastic member 1052 are respectively connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 1051 and the abutment member 103.

[0029] It should be noted that when the abutment 103 slides toward the central axis of the mounting hole 101, the elastic element 1052 is in a compressed state. The elastic element 1052 is preferably a spring. During the process of rotating the rotating ring and moving the abutment 103 from the variable diameter part 301 to the inner wall of the rotating ring, the elastic element 1052 causes the abutment 103 to slide away from the central axis of the mounting hole 101 under the action of elastic force.

[0030] Furthermore, since the front sidewall of the eye drop bottle is cylindrical, such as Figure 2 As shown, each of the abutment members 103 has a V-shaped surface 1031 at the end opposite to the rotating ring. The abutment member 103 contacts the front end of the eye drop bottle through the V-shaped surface 1031.

[0031] Furthermore, to lock the position of the rotating ring after it has rotated a predetermined angle, as follows: Figure 3As shown, a plurality of protrusions 302 are arranged in a ring array on the inner wall of the rotating ring, and a plurality of first spring pieces 1041 are provided on the side wall of the annular groove 104. When the rotating ring rotates at a predetermined angle, the first spring pieces 1041 contact the protrusions 302 and bend at a predetermined angle.

[0032] It should be noted that a resistance is provided by causing the first spring piece 1041 to undergo a predetermined deformation, thereby fixing the position of the rotating ring.

[0033] Furthermore, to position the rotating ring within the annular groove 104, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the rotating ring includes a first semicircular ring and a second semicircular ring, which are joined together to form a complete circular ring. It should be noted that after placing the first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring within the annular groove 104, the first semicircular ring and the second semicircular ring are fixedly connected, and the fixing method includes, but is not limited to, welding.

[0034] Furthermore, to specifically achieve a detachable connection between the contact foot 20 and the extension foot 102, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the extension foot 102 has a socket 1021, and a post 201 is fixedly provided at one end of the contact foot 20. The post 201 is pluggably inserted into the socket 1021.

[0035] It should be noted that the insert 201 is preferably made of plastic, and the insert 201 is integrally molded by injection molding so that one end of the insert 201 is embedded in the contact foot. Furthermore, to provide a certain resistance to the insertion post 201 as it extends into the insertion hole 1021, such as... Figure 4 As shown, a second spring plate 1022 is provided on the wall of the insertion hole 1021. The second spring plate 1022 has several protrusions. When the insertion post 201 is inserted into the insertion hole 1021, the insertion post 201 contacts the protrusions.

[0036] In summary, the eye drop auxiliary device described in the embodiments of this application is explained, which provides advantages such as replaceable contact parts and compatibility with various sizes of eye drop bottles.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that, in the embodiments of this application, the eye drop auxiliary device has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes or expensive materials, and is highly economical. At the same time, for manufacturers, the eye drop auxiliary device provided in this application is easy to produce and inexpensive, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further facilitates product promotion and use.
