Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an eye cleaning apparatus, and more particularly to an eye cleaning apparatus having a spray nozzle capable of spraying cleaning liquid from a cleaning cup toward a user's eye, and a method of cleaning an eye using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] Recently, as a result of the worsening air quality, yellow dust and particulate matter warnings have been issued one after another, and modern people's eyes are frequently affected by dry eye, allergies, inflammation, etc., so products related to eye health are attracting attention. In particular, particulate matter can have a negative effect on the health of not only the bronchi but also the eyes, which are directly exposed to the air. Unlike respiratory organs, which can be protected by masks, it is difficult to wear protective equipment for the eyes, so cleaning is particularly important.

[0003] Existing products that perform the function of cleaning the eyes include products that put cleaning fluid into a cleaning container to clean the eyes. Prior art related to this type of eye cleaning function includes Korean Registered Utility Model No. 20-0481536 (Name of invention: Portable eye cleaning device).

[0004] The conventional cleaning containers were designed in such a way that it was difficult for the cleaning fluid to effectively clean the eyeballs, and users who placed their eyes in contact with the cleaning container had to move their eyes while cleaning them, which was inconvenient.

In addition, the singular expression used in this specification includes the plural expression unless otherwise intended in the context.

[0017] In this application, terms such as "comprise" or "include" should not be construed as necessarily including all of the various components or steps described in the specification, but rather as including some of the components or steps not included, or including additional components or steps.

[0018] FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of the eye cleaner of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded detailed view of the eye cleaner of the present invention, FIG. 3 is the internal structure and an example usage of the eye cleaner of the present invention, and FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are detailed configurations showing the operating principle of the eye cleaner of the present invention.

[0019] The eye washer according to the present invention has a handle at the bottom of the body so that the body can be held by hand and controlled, a washing cup that forms a washing space where washing liquid is sprayed is located at the top, and a water pump, a power supply system, a PCB board, etc. are located inside. The washing space is structured so that washing liquid is sprayed and sucked in and circulated. The washing cup is configured to be detachable from the body. The PCB board inside the body is connected to the power supply system inside the body and to a switch on the front of the body.

[0020] The water pump can be controlled by operating the switch to allow the cleaning liquid to flow around the eyes, cleaning the eyes cleanly. The operation is simple and convenient for the user. There is no need to press the cup to avoid liquid loss.

[0021] The present invention will now be specifically considered with reference to FIGS.

[0022] The eyeball washer 100 of the present invention comprises body parts 110, 120 coupled in the front-rear direction to form a body, a bottom part 130 of a washing space having a framed shape coupled to the upper front part of the body part, and a washing cup 150 coupled to the bottom of the washing space to provide a washing space 140, which has a cylindrical structure with open front and rear sides, the front of which is in close contact with the user's face and the rear of which is coupled to the bottom of the washing space.

[0023] A spray nozzle 160 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning space to spray cleaning liquid into the cleaning space toward the user's eyeballs, and a suction port 170 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning space to suck in cleaning liquid present after being sprayed into the cleaning space, and recirculate the liquid through a water pump, which will be described below.

[0024] A water pump 180 is provided inside the body to pressurize the cleaning liquid, a spray nozzle connection pipe 160-1 connects the water pump to the spray nozzle to guide the cleaning liquid pressurized by the water pump to the spray nozzle, and a suction port connection pipe 170-1 connects the water pump to the suction port to guide the cleaning liquid sucked into the suction port to the water pump. A rechargeable battery 190 is provided inside the body to supply power to the water pump.

[0025] As a result, in the present invention, the cleaning solution pressurized by the water pump is sprayed into the cleaning space through the spray nozzle to clean the user's eyeballs, and then sucked in through the suction port and resupplied to the water pump, circulating to clean the eyeballs.

[0026] A switch S is provided on the front of the body to control the operation of the eye cleaner, specifically, to control the amount and speed of the cleaning liquid sprayed from the spray nozzle through the speed of the water pump.

[0027] The front of the washing cup 150 has a silicone cover 150-1, which is shaped to fit the contours of the user's face, so that the washing liquid contained in the washing cup does not leak out when the washing cup is in contact with the user's eyes and the washing cup naturally fits close to the user's eyes.

[0028] The body further includes a controller for controlling the operation of the water pump by operating the switch such as a PCB, etc. The spray angle of the spray nozzle is preferably changed periodically within a certain angle θ in the up, down, left and right directions based on an axis perpendicular to the bottom 130 of the cleaning space under the control of the controller.

[0029] 4 and 5, the spray nozzle 160 of the present invention includes a lower member 160a that is coupled to the bottom 130 of the cleaning space to form a lower portion, and an upper member 160b that is located above the lower member and has a passage through which the cleaning liquid is sprayed and discharged. The upper member 160b changes the spray direction at a certain angle θ in the up, down, left and right directions based on an axis perpendicular to the bottom 130 of the cleaning space, so that the eyeballs can be washed at various angles. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, when the spray nozzle is viewed from above, the upper member 160b moves in the left and right direction X and the up and down direction Y, so that the sprayed cleaning liquid can be changed up and down at a certain angle (sprayed in the a, b, and c directions in FIG. 4) or changed left and right. The user may adjust the spray direction by operating the switch. In this way, the user can operate the switch while the cleaning cup is attached to the face, and the cleaning liquid can effectively wash the user's eyeballs.

[0030] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications and improvements made by those skilled in the art using the basic concept of the present invention defined in the following claims also belong to the scope of the present invention.
