Description
The present invention relates to a contact lens.
Generally, the contact lens is worn in contact with the corneal surface so that the object can be clearly seen, such as when wearing glasses without wearing glasses.
Such contact lenses are advantageous in that they provide better visual acuity and better peripheral vision than glasses, and they are convenient for daily life because they do not wear glasses. However, since they are used in contact with the cornea, It can be more harmful to your eyes than glasses.
In addition, when the contact lens is worn, fat and various foreign substances released from the human body adhere to the surface of the lens, thereby deteriorating the effect of correcting the visual acuity. In addition, It is recommended to remove the lens, wash it, immerse it in physiological saline solution or preservative solution, and rinse the lens with physiological saline again the next morning.
Therefore, contact lens cleaning is most important for the health of the eyes when using contact lenses. In the beginning, the cleaning liquid was dropped on the contact lenses and then wiped off with fingers. However, when the contact lenses were deformed or damaged There is a problem that it is very troublesome and inconvenient to wipe the lens directly by hand.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a contact lens cleaner which is capable of cleaning a contact lens manually without a separate power source and storing the contact lens.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a contact lens cleaner for cleaning a contact lens using a cleaning liquid of a cleaning liquid container, the contact lens cleaner comprising: a pedestal supporting the cleaning liquid container; A housing provided at an interval upward from the pedestal; A first and a second lens cleaner rotatably installed in the housing to receive the contact lenses, respectively; A pressing portion that is screwed between the first and second lens cleaning cases to rotate the first and second lens cleaning cases in a back and forth movement; A cleaning liquid supply unit for supplying the cleaning liquid of the cleaning liquid container to the first and second lens cleaning units; And a lid part for opening and closing the first and second lens cleaning cases, respectively.
The cleaning liquid supply unit may include first and second cleaning liquid inflow holes formed in the first and second lens cleaning bases, respectively; First and second supply branch pipes respectively connected to the first and second cleaning liquid inflow holes; And a main supply pipe connected to the cleaning liquid tank using the first and second supply branch pipes as one pipe.
The first and second supply branch tubes are connected to the first and second cleaning liquid inflow holes so that the rotational force of the first and second supply branch tubes can not be transmitted to the first and second supply branch tubes while the first and second lens cleaning cases are rotated, Respectively.
In order to prevent the cleaning liquid, which has respectively flowed into the first and second lens cleaning cases through the first and second cleaning liquid inlet holes, from being discharged again to the first and second supply branch pipes, The branch tube may be positioned higher than the inner bottom surface of the first and second lens cleaning compartments through the first and second cleaning liquid inflow holes, respectively.
Wherein the lid portion includes: a lead for opening and closing the lens cleaner; An exhaust hole formed in the lead; And a valve body rotatably provided on the lead to open and close the discharge hole.
The pressing portion includes first and second driven gears respectively provided in the first and second lens cleaning baskets. A first driving gear which is provided to be movable back and forth between the first and second lens cleaning cases and which is engaged with the first driven gear is formed on one side and a second driving gear which is engaged with the second driven gear is formed on the other side ; And a pressing member for pushing the driving member.
The pressing portion may further include an elastic portion for locating the pressing member.
Wherein the elastic portion comprises a connecting member for connecting the driving member and the pressing member such that the driving member is inside the housing and the pressing member is outside the housing; And an elastic member having one end on the driving member and the other end on the inner surface of the housing to provide a restoring force to the driving member such that the driving member is positioned in the original position.
The housing may be supported on the pedestal by a plurality of support rods.
The housing has an upper opening portion with an open upper portion, and the upper opening portion can be opened and closed by a housing lid.
The contact lens cleaner according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a seating unit provided inside each of the lens cleaners and seated on the contact lens.
The first and second lens cleaning cases may be rotatably provided in the housing by a rotation guide member.
As described above, the contact lens cleaner according to the embodiment of the present invention can have the following effects.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the technical arrangement including the pedestal, the housing, the first and second lens cleaning cases, the pressing unit, the cleaning liquid supply unit, and the lid unit is provided, The first and second lens cleaning cases in which the contact lenses are stored can be rotated, so that the contact lenses can be cleaned manually without a separate ultrasonic device or power supply device, and the contact lenses can be stored. In particular, since the power supply unit is not required, the cost of the product can be reduced by simplifying the configuration, and the unit can be used regardless of the place.
