Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical instruments, in particular to an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology. Background Art
[0002] The external auditory canal of the human body often has many foreign bodies entering it due to various reasons. The removal of these foreign bodies depends on the external auditory canal irrigation method. The external auditory canal irrigation method refers to the use of warm saline to flush out the broken and soft earwax, tiny foreign bodies or softened earwax plugs that are not easy to remove from the deep part of the external auditory canal. The necessary supplies include an ear irrigator, warm saline, cotton swabs, etc.
[0003] In the prior art, for example, the ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology disclosed in Patent Publication No. CN114209496A removes earwax by scraping and suction. However, the patient's earwax may be oily cerumen, which is waxy and adheres to the wall of the ear canal. Conventional scraping and flushing and suction are difficult to effectively remove it. The patient's external auditory canal may be irritated before cleaning, causing varying degrees of damage to the external auditory canal and causing bleeding in the external auditory canal skin. Conventional equipment is difficult to treat external auditory canal damage. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to provide an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology, which can treat oily cerumen and skin bleeding by changing the spray liquid.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology, comprising a housing, a probe rod is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, a digging spoon is fixedly connected to the end of the probe rod away from the housing, a transmission tube is arranged in the housing, a hard tube is connected to the side of the transmission tube close to the digging spoon, the hard tube extends to the outside of the housing in the direction of the digging spoon, a push slide rod is fixedly connected to the hard tube, a first slide groove is provided on the housing, the push slide rod passes through the first slide groove and extends to the outside of the housing, and the push slide rod is used to push the hard tube to move toward the digging spoon until they abut against each other;
[0006] One end of the transmission pipe away from the casing is connected to a liquid supply assembly, and a plurality of storage containers and adjusting valves are arranged in the liquid supply assembly. The storage containers include a disinfectant container, an oily neutralizing liquid container and a flushing liquid container. The storage containers and the transmission pipe are both connected to the adjusting valve. The adjusting valve is used to switch the storage container connected to the transmission pipe, and the transmission pipe is provided with a pump body.
[0007] The following beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above scheme:
[0008] 1. Used to probe into the ear canal to destroy or remove earwax.
[0009] 2. The transmission tube can be controlled by a push-slide rod so that the transmission tube slides relative to the digging spoon. The user can push the transmission tube to contact the digging spoon, so that the transmission tube and the digging spoon can be clamped together to clamp earwax or other tools.
[0010] 3. When the patient's ear canal is damaged and the skin of the external ear canal is bleeding, use the transmission tube and the spoon to clamp the hemostatic tablet, wipe the bleeding area to stop bleeding, and then control the transmission tube to spray alcohol for disinfection.
[0011] 4. When the patient's earwax is oily, the oily neutralizing liquid is sprayed out through the transmission tube. The oily neutralizing liquid will combine with the earwax to make the earwax loose, and then it can be scraped apart by a scoop or clamped by a scoop and the transmission tube, making it convenient for the user to remove it.
[0012] 5. The transmission tube can spray out flushing liquid, and flush out the earwax by backflow.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the invention can adapt to a variety of situations. By setting up a movable transmission tube, the transmission tube can be used in conjunction with a scoop for clamping, thereby expanding more activities and being able to use some tools to assist in processing. When dealing with damaged ear canals or oily earwax, it can be processed by switching between clamping tools and spraying solutions, thus expanding its applicability.
[0014] Further, disinfectant container, oily neutralizing liquid container and flushing liquid container , Used to store medical alcohol, hydrogen peroxide solution and saline respectively.
[0015] Beneficial effects: Medical alcohol can disinfect damaged parts of the ear canal to reduce the risk of infection. Hydrogen peroxide solution can decompose oily earwax, making it fluffy and easier for users to clean. Physiological saline can be used as a flushing solution to carry away earwax through reflux.
[0016] Furthermore, the hard tube is divided into a fixed section and a rotating section, the rotating section is located on a side of the hard tube close to the digging spoon, the rotating section is rotatably connected to the fixed section, a sleeve is provided on the outside of the rotating section through a sliding key sleeve, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the sleeve, a second slide groove is provided on the housing, and the rotating rod passes through the second slide groove and extends to the outside of the housing;
[0017] A plurality of flexible bristles are fixedly connected to the side wall of one end of the hard tube close to the digging spoon.
[0018] Beneficial effect: The flexible bristles can remove earwax debris by cleaning, and the hard tube is divided into a fixed section and a rotating section, so that the front end of the hard tube can be rotated, which is convenient for rotating the position of the bristles to reduce the influence of the bristles on the observation field of view.
[0019] Furthermore, a storage groove for storing bristles is provided on the probe rod.
[0020] Beneficial effect: The user can rotate the bristles so that the bristles are stored in the storage groove, thereby further reducing the impact of the bristles on the field of vision.
[0021] Furthermore, a heater is fixedly connected to the transmission pipe.
[0022] Beneficial effect: The heater can heat the solution in the transmission tube, so that the temperature of the solution sprayed out of the transmission tube is closer to the patient's body temperature, improving the patient's experience , to prevent patients from experiencing dizziness due to temperature stimulation of the inner ear .
[0023] Furthermore, a return arc surface is provided on the inner side of the scoop.
[0024] Beneficial effect: Backflow usually involves pouring the flushing liquid into the ear canal, and then the flushing liquid flows back after reaching the eardrum. However, this can easily damage the eardrum and consume a lot of flushing liquid. The backflow arc surface can be close to the outlet of the transmission tube, so that the flushing liquid can be directly guided back by the spoon.
[0025] Furthermore, each storage container is provided with an observation window, and each observation window is provided with a scale.
[0026] Beneficial effect: The scale is used to measure the remaining amount in the storage container, which is convenient for the user to replenish the flushing liquid in time.
[0027] Furthermore, a searchlight is fixedly connected to one side of the casing close to the digging scoop.
[0028] Beneficial effect: The searchlight can provide light to illuminate the ear canal, thereby making it convenient for the user to observe the internal conditions of the ear canal.
[0029] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided in one end of the hard tube close to the scoop.
[0030] Beneficial effect: The one-way valve can prevent earwax from flowing back into the transmission tube, reducing contamination of the tube.
[0031] Furthermore, the transmission pipe is connected with a back-suction pipe, a one-way valve is arranged in the back-suction pipe, and the back-suction pipe is connected with a negative pressure absorber.
[0032] Beneficial effect: The suction tube can directly absorb small particles of earwax or flushing fluid through the negative pressure absorber, but the disadvantage is that it pollutes the pipeline and is inconvenient to maintain. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0041] An ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology comprises a housing 1, a probe rod 2 is bonded and fixed to one side of the housing 1, a digging spoon 3 is integrally formed at one end of the probe rod 2 away from the housing 1, a transmission tube 4 is installed in the housing 1, a hard tube 5 is connected to the side of the transmission tube 4 close to the digging spoon 3, the hard tube 5 extends to the outside of the housing 1 in the direction of the digging spoon 3, a push slide rod 6 is bonded and fixed to the hard tube 5, a first slide groove 7 is provided on the housing 1, the push slide rod 6 passes through the first slide groove 7 and extends to the outside of the housing 1, and the push slide rod 6 is used to push the hard tube 5 to move toward the digging spoon 3 until they abut against each other;
[0042] The user can hold the housing 1, insert the probe rod 2 into the patient's ear canal, and crush or dig out the earwax in the patient's ear canal through the digging spoon 3. The user can slide the hard tube 5 through the push rod 6, so that one end of the hard tube 5 abuts against the digging spoon 3, thereby clamping the earwax or tools.
[0043] One end of the transmission tube 4 away from the casing 1 is connected to a liquid supply assembly 8, and a plurality of storage containers 9 and a dispensing valve 10 are placed in the liquid supply assembly 8. The storage container 9 includes a disinfectant container, an oily neutralizing liquid container and a flushing liquid container. The disinfectant container, the oily neutralizing liquid container and the flushing liquid container are used to store medical alcohol, hydrogen peroxide solution and saline solution, respectively. The storage container 9 and the transmission tube 4 are both connected to the dispensing valve 10. The dispensing valve 10 is used to switch the storage container 9 connected to the transmission tube 4. A pump body 11 is installed in the transmission tube 4. The pump body 11 is used to provide power to spray liquid from the transmission tube 4.
[0044] The storage container 9 stores a number of different liquids for the user to deal with various situations.
