The present invention relates to a contact lens cleaning device, and more particularly, to hang a lens case on an upper part of a washing container and to install an ultrasonic vibrator attached to a bottom of the washing container so that the lens contained in the lens case is cleaned by ultrasonic vibration of the vibrator. By contacting the contact lens cleaning device for convenient replacement and installation of the lens, the lens case can be detached from the cleaning container by opening the lid. will be.

If the contact lens is worn for a long time, fat or various foreign substances stick on the surface of the lens, which is not good for the health of the eyes. Fat or foreign substances should be removed once a day to keep the lens clean and good for your eyes. The lens can be cleaned cleanly with a cleaning solution or chemicals, but more effective is an ultrasonic cleaning method using vibration generated from ultrasonic waves. The present inventor is filed with the ultrasonic cleaning device as a Korean patent application No. 2000-15555.

The ultrasonically-applied ultrasonic cleaning device is a system in which a strong wavelength is generated to generate a spray when ultrasonic waves are generated using an ultrasonic vibrator in a lower portion of a container in which a cleaning liquid is contained, so that proteins or fats attached to the contact lens are decomposed and removed.

However, there was a disadvantage in that foreign substances were not removed well because the contact lens was fixed in the cleaning apparatus. Fat and protein on the lens are easily decomposed by ultrasonic vibration, but dust on the surface of the lens is not easily removed and removed.

In order to solve this problem, the inventors have registered a cleaning device in which a lens is placed on a rotary blade that is rotated by water generated during ultrasonic vibration as Utility Model Registration No. 203247. It is basic to dissolve and remove fat and protein from the lens by ultrasonic vibration of the vibrator.If the rotor blade is rotated by the strong vortex of the cleaning liquid generated during the ultrasonic vibration, the surface of the lens is wiped by the wings and the dust is not broken down by ultrasonic waves. Foreign objects are removed from the lens and removed.
