When the device is used, the user closes the eyes, holds the handle 100 and the pressing handle 410, tightly attaches the upper clamping rod 200 to the upper eyelid, then presses the pressing handle 410 downwards towards the handle 100, and the pressing handle 410 rotates to drive the push rod 420 and push the lower clamping plate 300 to move upwards until the upper meibomian gland and the lower meibomian gland are tightly clamped by the lower clamping plate 300 and the upper clamping rod 200.

Referring to fig. 2 to 4, the pressing rod 500 is slidably disposed in the guide rail 210, and its end portion protrudes from the guide rail 210. The horizontal movement driving mechanism 600 is disposed in the mounting groove 220 and connected to the pressing rod 500, and when the lower clamping plate 300 abuts against the upper clamping rod 200, the horizontal movement driving mechanism 600 can drive the pressing rod 500 to slide back and forth along the guide rail 210. Specifically, the horizontal movement driving mechanism 600 includes a bidirectional rotary motor 610, a spacer 620, two pulleys 630, a conveyor belt 64, and two pressure touch sensors 650. The bi-directional rotary motor 610 may be a common rotary servo motor or a stepping motor. The bi-directional rotating motor 610 is disposed in the mounting groove 220. The washer 620 is provided on the bidirectional rotary electric machine 610 through the first elastic member 611, and is spaced just below the switch of the bidirectional rotary electric machine 610, and an end of the washer 620 protrudes from an end surface of the upper clamp lever 200 facing the lower clamp plate 300. The pad 620 has a conductive sheet 621 mounted thereon. Two pulleys 630 are disposed in the guide rail 210 at intervals, and the bidirectional rotary motor 610 is disposed on one of the pulleys 630. Two ends of the conveying belt 640 are sleeved on the two pulleys 630, and the outer end face of the conveying belt 640 is provided with teeth.

The pressing rod 500 is provided with a driven wheel 510 at one end, the driven wheel 510 is engaged with teeth on the outer end surface of the conveying belt 640, the other end of the pressing rod 500 is a pressing end 520, and the pressing end 520 penetrates out of the guide rail 210. Two pressure touch sensors 650 are respectively provided at both ends of the guide rail 210, and the pressure touch sensors 650 are motor-communicatively connected to the bidirectional rotary motor 610.

When the upper clamping plate is pressed against the lower clamping plate 300, the lower clamping plate 300 and the upper clamping rod 200 tightly clamp the upper meibomian gland and the lower meibomian gland. At this time, the gasket 620 is pressed into the upper clamping bar 200 to be extruded and is abutted against a switch of the bidirectional rotating motor 610, so that a circuit of the bidirectional rotating motor 610 is communicated, the bidirectional rotating motor 610 drives the belt pulley 630 to rotate clockwise and drives the conveying belt 640 to translate to the left, the external teeth of the conveying belt 640 drives the driven wheel 510 of the extrusion rod 500 to rotate, the extrusion rod 500 is driven to move leftwards along the guide rail 210 until the external teeth of the belt pulley is abutted against the pressure touch device 650 on the left side, and the upper meibomian gland and the lower meibomian gland can be massaged and extruded from right to left; when the pressing bar 500 moves to the leftmost side and abuts against the pressure touch 650 on the left side, a signal is fed back to the bidirectional rotating motor 610, and the bidirectional rotating motor 610 rotates counterclockwise after obtaining the signal; when the bidirectional rotating motor 610 rotates counterclockwise, the conveying belt 640 is driven to move from left to right, and then the extrusion rod 500 is driven to move from left to right until the pressure touch device 650 on the left side is abutted, so that the upper meibomian gland and the lower meibomian gland can be massaged and extruded from left to right, and dirt and grease in the meibomian glands are extruded out. When the extrusion rod 500 abuts against the pressure touch device 650 on the right side, a signal is fed back to the bidirectional rotating motor 610, the bidirectional rotating motor 610 rotates clockwise again after obtaining the signal, and the extrusion rod 500 can translate left and right repeatedly and massage the meibomian glands repeatedly as the bidirectional rotating motor 610 continuously and repeatedly rotates bidirectionally.

When the pressing handle 410 is released, the pressure on the pad 620 is reduced, the pad 620 falls off the switch of the bidirectional rotating motor 610 under the restoring force of the first elastic member 611, the motor of the bidirectional rotating motor 610 stops rotating, and the massage extrusion can be stopped.

Referring to fig. 3 and 5, as a preferred embodiment, a plurality of elastic massage balls 530 are provided at intervals on the pressing rod 500. The massage balls 530 arranged at intervals can perform click massage on the meibomian gland gap, so that the eye line in the meibomian gland can be prevented from being blocked by line massage, and dirt and grease are not easy to extrude. The massage ball 530 has elasticity. The comfort of use can be increased. In addition, the ball diameter of the massage ball 530 is gradually decreased from the vicinity of the toggle gear outward. When in extrusion, the extrusion force can be increased and decreased from inside to outside, and the manual compression mode can be simulated, thereby further facilitating the discharge of dirt and grease. Meanwhile, the lower clamping plate 300 is provided with strip-shaped grooves 310 at intervals, and the extending direction of the strip-shaped grooves 310 is consistent with the extending direction of the extrusion rod 500. In the moving process of the extrusion plate, the elastic massage balls 530 form a traveling path up or down, so that the meibomian glands can be extruded in a shocking wave manner, and the discharge of dirt and grease is facilitated.

In the extrusion process, the extrusion rod 500 is driven by the conveying belt 640 to roll and advance on the outer side of the meibomian gland, and the motion of the extrusion rod 500 is rolling instead of translation, so that the friction force between the extrusion rod 500 and eyelids can be reduced, and the comfort of a patient can be further improved; the massage balls 530 arranged at intervals can perform click massage on the meibomian gland clearance, so that the eye line in the meibomian gland can be prevented from being blocked by line massage; the ball diameter of the massage ball 530 is gradually decreased from the vicinity of the toggle gear outward. When in extrusion, the extrusion force can be increased and decreased from inside to outside, and a manual compression mode can be simulated, so that the discharge of dirt and grease is further facilitated; the massage balls 530 and the strip-shaped grooves 310 can form impact wave-shaped extrusion on the meibomian glands, which is more beneficial to discharge of dirt and grease. The end part of the extrusion rod 500 can be rotationally connected with the side wall of the toggle gear, and the translation of the extrusion rod 500 is changed into rolling, so that the friction force between the extrusion rod 500 and the eyelid can be reduced, and the comfort of a patient can be improved; the massage balls 530 arranged at intervals can perform click massage on the meibomian gland clearance, so that the eye line in the meibomian gland can be prevented from being blocked by line massage; the ball diameter of the massage ball 530 is gradually decreased from the vicinity of the toggle gear outward.
