Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a goggle-like eye wash cup with a vibration function that can flexibly respond and promote automatic cleaning and fatigue recovery of the eyeball and the surrounding area of the eyeball.
Background Art
[0002] A number of devices for washing the eyes have been devised as in the prior art documents, and are commercially available either as a single eye wash device or as a set of an eye wash device and eye wash medicine.
[0003] A practical eye wash cup moves the eyeball while opening and closing the eyelids by itself to wash the eyes. It was practically sufficient for eye washing except in emergencies and for preventing eye diseases.
[0004] However, when used for children, the elderly, disabled people who cannot move by themselves, and emergency eye treatment, etc., there is a tendency to close the eyes for fear of the eyes getting soaked, and there is a drawback that assistance is required.
[0005] Eye wash cups related to vibration are sold overseas in a form attached to ultrasonic and high-frequency massage devices commercialized for other purposes as seen in Non-Patent Document 1.
[0006] However, the goggle-like eye wash cup with a vibration function that can flexibly respond to the present invention has the effect of the vibration region generated by the excitation force of the imbalance weight attached to the rotation shaft of the motor as the required region, and there is a drawback that the same effect cannot be achieved with the products of Non-Patent Document 1.
[0007] Recently, due to the increase in electric display work rather than paper work, the damage to the eyeball and the surrounding area of the eyeball is extremely severe, and eye fatigue and vision loss have already become social problems.
[0008] Fatigue affecting the eyeball and its surroundings can cause a decline in thinking ability, a decrease in activity level, a slowdown in reaction, a decrease in concentration, slow movements, distractibility, blurred vision, sagging around the eyes, dark circles under the eyes, eye bags, headaches, shoulder stiffness, etc., due to overloading of the mind and body, including the brain. Such fatigue has few health benefits except during sleep induction.
[0009] As part of this improvement measure, there are methods described in prior art documents. However, even with these methods, they do not enable automatic cleaning of the eyeball and its surroundings due to the vibration area generated by the exciting force of the imbalance weight attached to the rotating shaft of the motor. Also, in the issue of fatigue recovery, although there are some massage devices that apply vibration, such massage devices and the like are technologies for performing dry fatigue recovery around the eyeball and its surroundings, and there is no eyewash cup on the market that takes the vibration area generated by the exciting force of the imbalance weight attached to the rotating shaft of the motor as a key area, which can promote fatigue recovery both dry and wet and enable automatic eye washing.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0012] The problem to be solved is that when washing the eyeball and the area around the eyeball, it is difficult to wash the eyes while moving the eyeball while opening and closing the eyelids by oneself. In conventional devices for relieving fatigue around the eyeball and the area around the eyeball, although they promote fatigue recovery in a wet state, they do not reach the climax like orgasm.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0013] The main feature of the present invention is that it is used for children, the elderly, disabled people who cannot move by themselves, and emergency eye treatment, etc., by adding vibration to a cup that can wash the eyes to enable automatic eye washing. In addition, the vibration is in a vibration region generated by the exciting force of an unbalance weight attached to the rotating shaft of a motor, and the eye wash cup to which the vibration is applied has the feature of being able to promote fatigue recovery.
Effects of the Invention
[0014] The goggle-like eye wash cup with a vibration function that can flexibly respond to the present invention enables automatic eye washing, so it can also be used for children, the elderly, disabled people who cannot move on their own, and emergency eye treatment. Therefore, there is an advantage that even those who are afraid of their eyes getting soaked and close their eyes can easily wash them. In addition, the above-mentioned eye wash cup promotes fatigue recovery by the vibration generated by the excitation force of the unbalance weight attached to the rotating shaft of the motor, and has the advantage of generating itching in an orgasm-like hitting manner and being able to relax by using it rhythmically.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
[0016] An object of providing a vibration function to an eye wash cup to promote automatic washing of the eyeball and the surrounding area of the eyeball and fatigue recovery is realized by applying semi-finished products and work-in-progress products, and a highly cost-effective, flexibly responsive eye wash cup is realized.
Examples
[0017] Figure 1 is for both eyes of the eye wash cup of the present invention and is the basic form of each of the following examples. The reference numerals (1) to (7) are common to all the drawings.
[0018] A vibrator (2) as described in the claims of the present application is provided in a cup (1) capable of eye washing, and is connected to a belt (3) for fixing the cup to the eye socket. The power source for driving the vibrator (2) is supplied from a battery (4) equipped with an electric resistor and a remote control receiver.
[0019] The cup (1) capable of eye washing may apply a commercially available eye wash cup or goggles for protecting the eyes. However, since the eye wash cup has a structure designed to prevent liquid leakage from the inside of the cup, and the goggles for protecting the eyes have a structure designed to prevent sand, dust, liquid, wind, etc. from entering from the outside of the goggles, there is room for improving the packing when commercializing the eye wash cup of the present invention.
[0020] The vibrator (2) may apply commercially available semi-finished products and work-in-progress. In recent years, small vibration motors have been developed for mounting on mobile phones and game pads, and there is a wide variety. Generally, there is no problem as long as it is within the range of dimensions, weight, vibration amount, durability, and power consumption acceptable for the eye wash cup of the present invention. For example, if an electric vibration motor is adopted, a DC motor is more preferable because it can be finely controlled with less power and the vibration amount can be adjusted precisely compared to an AC motor.
[0021] The belt (3) is a belt for fixing the cup (1) capable of eye washing to the eye socket, and generally there is no problem as long as it has a structure that can be connected to the cup (1) capable of eye washing. It is desirable that the belt (3) is made of a highly elastic material that can be pulled so that it does not slip off the head due to the vibration generated by the eye wash cup.
[0022] The battery (4) equipped with an electrical resistor and a remote control receiver should conform to the specifications of the eye wash cup of the present invention, be safe in use, and meet the functions and performance requirements for stable operation. Regarding the electrical resistor, not only can it turn the power on and off, but also there are low-cost components that can precisely adjust the current flowing through it on the market. Considering the power switch and the number of controlled objects of the electrical resistor, the number of receiving channels of the remote control receiver should be about 5 channels, which is sufficient. Currently popular batteries are small in size and large in capacity, and there are many such devices available. Although these components can be applied to off-the-shelf "ready-made" products, when mass-producing the eye wash cup of the present invention, it is more cost-effective to order "custom-made" products. When using a vibration motor in the eye wash cup of the present invention, the voltage is assumed to be about 1.5V to 3V, and it can be sufficiently supplied even from an old standard USB. Also, the current consumption of the motor is assumed to be about 200mA to 500mA, and the general-purpose batteries mentioned above are sufficient.
Embodiment
[0023] The embodiment shown in Fig. 2 is a single-eye type for both eyes of the eye wash cup of the present invention described in Embodiment 1. The reference numerals (1) to (7) are common to all the drawings, and (1) to (2) described in Embodiment 1 are the same in Fig. 2.
[0024] The small-sized battery (a) equipped with an electrical resistor and a remote control receiver has dimensions that can be mounted on the cup (1) for eye washing, and it is a miniaturized version of the battery (4) equipped with the electrical resistor and the remote control receiver described in Embodiment 1.
[0025] The power cable (5) is a cable for supplying power from an external power source (6) to the small-sized battery (a) equipped with an electrical resistor and a remote control receiver or the battery (4) equipped with the electrical resistor and the remote control receiver shown in Figs. 1, 3, and 4, and it can be charged by pass-through charging. The length of the cable is assumed to be about 1m, and a cable with excellent flexibility is easy to use.
[0026] The external power supply (6) converts the general household AC power supply (AC) into a DC power supply (DC), and supplies power to the small battery (a) equipped with an electric resistor and a remote control receiver through the power cable (5). The converter of the external power supply (6) has specifications of a voltage of 1.5V to 3V and a current of about 500mA, which is sufficient.
[0027] The remote control (7) is a communication device that transmits to the remote control receiver of the small battery (a) equipped with an electric resistor and a remote control receiver or the battery (4) equipped with an electric resistor and a remote control receiver in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, and can turn the power on and off, adjust the current amount, etc. The communication means of the remote control includes a wired method, a wireless method, or both. In use, since the required distance from the remote control (7) to the small battery (a) equipped with an electric resistor and a remote control receiver is generally within 1m, either can be adopted. The parts related to the remote controller are inexpensive and are widely available, and can be easily applied.

Industrial Applicability
[0032] These days, many people seem to think that all knowledge can be obtained from information gathering through Internet searches, and as a result, the opportunities to utilize the wisdom acquired through experience have decreased. The goggle-like eye wash cup with a vibration function that can flexibly adapt to the present invention may seem like an obvious invention at first glance. The idea of adding vibration to an eye wash cup may be a joke that anyone can easily come up with. However, the content obtained from the experience of actually prototyping and using it repeatedly has led to unexpected phenomena, so I have filed an application. As described in this application document, it is currently easy to procure parts. If the present invention undergoes a positive technical evaluation and can, for example, cooperate with a company that manufactures and sells eye wash liquid, etc., it is considered highly likely to be utilized in the domestic industry. Otherwise, there will only be a concern that imitation products of unknown manufacturers will flood the market, and if that happens, there will only be the risk of incurring damages that cannot be compensated. If the goggle-like eye wash cup with a vibration function that can flexibly adapt to the present invention awakens Japan and contributes to the public good, it is our intention to work together amicably for all.
