[0002] For ear infections such as otitis externa and otitis media, drug spraying can directly act on the infected area. For example, spraying with antibiotics can effectively kill bacteria, fungi and other pathogens in the ear canal, reduce inflammatory reactions, relieve symptoms such as ear pain, redness, swelling, and itching, and promote the repair and healing of the ear canal mucosa. Some ear diseases can cause local tissue swelling and pain, such as furuncle in the external auditory canal and swelling after ear trauma. By spraying drugs with swelling and analgesia effects, such as mixed preparations containing glucocorticoids and local anesthetic ingredients, local tissue congestion and edema can be reduced, pain can be relieved, and the patient's comfort can be improved. Therefore, spraying drugs in the ear canal is an essential treatment operation.

[0015] At least one of the above technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0016] Firstly, the purpose of flushing the patient's ear canal by this device is that patients with external otitis often have purulent, bloody or sticky secretions in the ear canal. If these secretions are not removed in time, they will breed bacteria, aggravate the infection, and affect the therapeutic effect of the drug. By flushing the patient's ear canal, the secretions can be effectively removed, the ear canal can be kept clean, and good conditions for subsequent treatment can be created. In addition, after middle ear surgery, some blood, exudate, scab and other substances may remain in the surgical cavity. If these substances are not cleaned in time, they may cause infection, affect the effect of the operation or lead to complications such as adhesion of the surgical cavity. Through ear canal flushing, these residual substances can be cleaned up and the healing and recovery of the surgical cavity can be promoted. When small beads, pebbles, cotton swab heads, etc. accidentally enter the ear canal and are not easy to remove directly, the flushing method can also be used to flush the foreign matter out of the ear canal. However, for some foreign matters that swell when exposed to water, are highly viscous or sharp, careful evaluation is required during flushing to avoid causing more serious damage.
[0017] Secondly, the ear canal drying operation of the device can be used for the ear canal after the patient's ear canal is flushed and after ear surgery. There may be a small amount of bleeding or exudate in the ear canal. Keeping the ear canal dry is one of the important measures to prevent infection. Drying the ear canal can timely remove moisture and exudate in the ear canal, create a dry environment conducive to wound healing, and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection. The dry environment is conducive to the healing of ear surgery wounds, avoiding problems such as delayed wound healing and granulation tissue hyperplasia caused by moisture. Drying can keep the tissue in the ear canal in a relatively stable state, which is conducive to cell repair and regeneration. In addition, middle ear inflammation may cause tympanic membrane perforation, so that the secretions of the middle ear cavity flow into the ear canal through the perforation. At this time, drying the ear canal can reduce the stimulation of the secretions on the ear canal skin, which is conducive to the control and recovery of the ear disease. In addition, patients with external auditory canal eczema often have exudate in the ear canal, and the skin is in a moist state, which will aggravate symptoms such as itching and redness. Drying the ear canal can reduce the accumulation of exudate, keep the ear canal skin dry, thereby alleviating eczema symptoms and promoting the recovery of the disease.
[0018] Thirdly, this device is designed for patients with congenital narrow or abnormal curvature of the external auditory canal, which makes it easier for dust to accumulate in the ear canal and difficult to be discharged by itself. Even a small amount of dust entering may form a blockage in the ear canal, causing ear discomfort, which needs to be removed by suction. In addition, for patients with external otitis, the ear canal skin is in an inflamed state, and desquamation and scabbing may occur. At the same time, inflammation will also affect the self-cleaning function of the ear canal, making dust more likely to adhere and accumulate. When these dust are mixed with inflammatory secretions, they will aggravate ear discomfort and affect the recovery of inflammation. At this time, foreign matter needs to be sucked out and corresponding treatment needs to be carried out. There are also people who are in dusty environments for a long time, such as coal miners, construction workers, cleaners, etc., in which fine dust can easily enter the ear canal during work. Since the ear canal has a certain curvature and self-cleaning function, some dust may temporarily adhere to the ear canal wall, but when it accumulates to a certain extent, it may affect hearing or cause ear discomfort, and it needs to be sucked out.
[0019] Fourthly, the device realizes that for external otitis, otitis media and other ear infectious diseases, drug spraying can make the drug act directly on the infected site. For example, the use of antibiotics for spraying can effectively kill bacteria, fungi and other pathogens in the ear canal, reduce inflammatory reactions, relieve ear pain, redness, swelling, itching and other symptoms, and promote the repair and healing of the ear canal mucosa. Some ear diseases can cause local tissue swelling and pain, such as external auditory canal furuncle, swelling after ear trauma, etc. By spraying drugs with swelling and analgesic effects, such as mixed preparations containing glucocorticoids and local anesthetic ingredients, local tissue congestion and edema can be reduced, pain can be relieved, and patient comfort can be improved. At the same time, it can also prevent drugs from entering deep into the ear canal, which can reduce the risk of stimulation and potential damage to sensitive parts such as the middle ear, and reduce adverse reactions such as dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss caused by drugs accidentally entering deep into the ear. Especially for patients with special ear conditions such as tympanic membrane perforation, it can effectively prevent drugs from entering the middle ear cavity through the perforation to cause infection and other problems.

The mixing pipeline mechanism 35 is connected to the dryer 32, the flushing water pump 33 and the dust collector 34 by the corresponding connecting mechanisms 31. The mixing pipeline mechanism 35 is arranged on the opening and receiving mechanism 21;
[0038] The device can perform auxiliary treatment operations for different patients' ear canal diseases. The auxiliary treatment operations include flushing operations, drug spraying operations, dust suction and cleaning operations, and drying operations in the patient's ear canal. During this operation, the deep part of the patient's ear canal can be isolated from the treatment position in the ear canal, avoiding unnecessary harm to the patient, thereby improving the treatment effect for the patient in need.
[0039] When the blocking mechanism 22 of the device is unfolded, the blocking sealing gasket 222 is made of soft silicone material and can fully fit the inside of the ear canal according to the anatomical structure of the ear canal to block the treatment position in the ear canal from the deep position in the ear canal. When the patient is undergoing flushing, spraying, and suction treatment, the blocking mechanism 22 is first placed in a suitable position in the ear canal, and then the flushing, spraying, and suction treatment operations are performed to ensure that the water flow only circulates in the required treatment area in the ear canal to prevent it from rushing to the deep part of the ear canal, thereby forming a closed operating space in the patient's ear canal, and auxiliary treatment operations can be performed for different patients' ear canal diseases.
[0040] The device can perform combined treatment operations according to different symptoms in the patient's ear canal. For example, when dust and foreign matter in the patient's ear canal need to be removed, the device can be used with the assistance of a flushing pump 33 and a vacuum cleaner 34. The dust and foreign matter in the ear canal can be flushed out first, and the dust and foreign matter that is not flushed out can be sucked out by the vacuum cleaner 34. After flushing in the ear canal, the ear canal can be dried by the dryer 32. Alternatively, the dust and foreign matter in the patient's ear canal can be sucked out first, and then the ear canal can be flushed, and finally the ear canal can be dried. Medical staff can perform corresponding treatment operations according to patients with different symptoms.
[0041] Preferably, the opening and storing mechanism 21 comprises a connecting rod 211, a connecting tube 212, a connecting ring 213, a connecting block 214, a connecting head 215, a connecting plate 216, a connecting piece 217 and a control ring 218, wherein the connecting rod 211 is arranged at the end of the handheld device 1, the connecting tube 212 is sleeved on the connecting rod 211, the connecting ring 213 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting tube 212 and is slidably fitted, the connecting head 215 is arranged at the head end of the connecting rod 211, and a plurality of connecting blocks 214 are provided, and the plurality of connecting blocks 214 are equidistantly arranged around the connecting ring 213. The connecting plates 216 are provided with a plurality of them, and the plurality of the connecting plates 216 are arranged around the inner side of the connecting head 215 at equal intervals and are rotatably connected to the connecting head 215. The ends of the plurality of the connecting blocks 214 are rotatably connected to the middle positions of the corresponding connecting plates 216, and the control ring 218 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting tube 212. The connecting pieces 217 are provided with two, and the control ring 218 and the connecting ring 213 are connected by two connecting pieces 217. The control ring 218 is controlled and limited by the corresponding limiting mechanism 23. The camera probe 11 is located at the center of the outside of the connector 215 and the other is located on the inside of the connector 215. The connector 215 is made of soft rubber. The head of the connector 215 is elliptical. The blocking mechanism 22 includes a blocking layer 221 and a blocking sealing gasket 222. The blocking layer 221 is connected to the connector 215 and covers a plurality of connecting blocks 214 and a plurality of connecting plates 216. The blocking layer 221 is a waterproof polyester fiber cloth. The blocking sealing gasket 222 is arranged at the end of the blocking layer 221. The blocking sealing gasket 222 is a soft silicone. The connecting tube 212 is made of rubber. Two limiting grooves 219 are provided on the connecting tube 212. The two limiting mechanisms 23 are respectively located in the corresponding limiting grooves 219. The two limiting mechanisms 23 include a limiting frame 231, a spring 232 and a limiting block 233. The limiting frame 231 is arranged in the corresponding limiting groove 219. Two springs 232 are provided. The two springs 232 are symmetrically arranged on the limiting frame 231. The limiting block 233 is connected to the upper ends of the two springs 232. The limiting block 233 is connected to the limiting frame 231 in an up-and-down sliding cooperation connection. The limiting block 233 is arranged in a triangular shape.
[0042] The barrier layer 221 is a waterproof polyester fiber cloth, which is made of polyester fiber as the main raw material and endowed with waterproof properties through special weaving and finishing processes. This kind of cloth has good wrinkle resistance and shape retention, and is relatively cheap. It is commonly used in daily waterproof products such as raincoats and ponchos;
[0043] By providing two limiting mechanisms 23 and respectively being located in corresponding limiting grooves 219, the two limiting mechanisms 23 are arranged one in front and one in the back. Such a design provides two different expansion size modes for the expansion state of the barrier layer 221, so that it can be used for people with different ear canal sizes of patients;
[0044] Generally, patients with external otitis, otitis media, ear eczema, etc. need to apply medicine to the ears and ear canals for treatment. When patients with ear canal inflammation need to be treated with medicine, the medical staff can first extract the sprayed medicine through a syringe, and connect the syringe with the completed medicine extraction to the pipe port 331 on the flushing water pump 33. Then, the device needs to be placed inside the patient's ear canal. The medical staff then grasps the handheld device 1 and extends it into the patient's ear canal with the connector 215 as the insertion end, while the blocking mechanism 22 is in the storage state. During the insertion process, the camera probe 11 located outside the connector 215 is displayed on the smart computer for the medical staff to see the internal situation of the patient's ear canal clearly, so as to have a good Observe the environment and insert the connector 215 into the ear canal to avoid the occurrence of resistance and damage to the patient's ear canal. After the medical staff inserts the connector 215 and makes the several mixed auxiliary pipelines 352 located beside the desired spraying position in the patient's ear canal, the medical staff stops inserting the connector 215 and pushes the control ring 218 to move in the direction of the connector 215 and finally limits it through the corresponding limit block 233. When the control ring 218 is pushed, it will drive the two connectors 217 to move in the direction of the connector 215. The movement of the two connectors 217 will eventually drive the connecting tube 212 on the connecting rod 211 to move forward, that is, in the direction of the connecting head 215. The movement of the connecting tube 212 will eventually drive several connecting blocks 214 to move forward. The barrier layer 221 is expanded outward, and the corresponding connecting plate 216 is also in a coordinated movement state, so that the barrier layer 221 is expanded and the barrier sealing gasket 222 is in a matching shape contact state with the patient's ear canal. The barrier layer 221 is expanded in the same way as the traditional umbrella. At this time, the barrier layer 221 is used to block the treatment position in the patient's ear canal from the deep position in the ear canal. Then, the flushing water pump 33 and the corresponding connected pipeline 311 are opened to make the two in a connected state. The flushing water pump 33 is operated to extract the medicine in the syringe from the pipeline port 331 into the flushing water pump 33 and discharged into the mixing chamber 351, and finally sprayed out by a plurality of mixing auxiliary pipelines 352, and according to the connector 215 extending into The position of the mixed auxiliary pipeline 352 makes the spraying of the required drug treatment be completed, so as to accurately spray the required drug treatment in the patient's ear canal, and realize the ear infection diseases such as external otitis and otitis media. Drug spraying can make the drug act directly on the infected site. For example, the use of antibiotics for spraying can effectively kill bacteria, fungi and other pathogens in the ear canal, reduce inflammatory reactions, relieve ear pain, redness, swelling, itching and other symptoms, and promote the repair and healing of the ear canal mucosa. Some ear diseases can cause local tissue swelling and pain, such as external auditory canal furuncle, swelling after ear trauma, etc. By spraying drugs with swelling and analgesic effects, such as mixed preparations containing glucocorticoids and local anesthetic components, the congestion and edema of local tissues can be reduced.Relieve pain and improve patient comfort. At the same time, prevent drugs from entering deep into the ear canal, which can reduce the risk of drug stimulation and potential damage to sensitive parts such as the middle ear, and reduce adverse reactions such as dizziness, tinnitus, and hearing loss caused by drugs entering deep into the ear. Especially for patients with special ear conditions such as tympanic membrane perforation, it can effectively prevent drugs from entering the middle ear cavity through the perforation and causing infection and other problems;
[0045] When it is necessary to flush the patient's ear canal, the patient lies flat on the required treatment bed, with the patient's head slightly tilted toward the direction of the ear canal to be treated, and a pool of flushing sewage can be received under the ear canal. At this time, the medical staff grasps the handheld device 1 and extends it into the patient's ear canal to be treated with the connector 215 as the head end, and the medical staff uses the corresponding camera probe 11 to assist in the insertion. At this time, the blocking mechanism 22 is in the storage state, which facilitates the insertion operation of the device. When the medical staff inserts the connector 215 into the ear canal and makes the connector 215 exceed the required flushing position in the ear canal, the medical staff operates the opening storage mechanism 21 to expand the barrier layer 221 and the barrier sealing gasket 222 to achieve position limiting. While limiting the position in the patient's ear canal, it can also isolate the deep part of the ear canal from the desired treatment position in the ear canal to avoid trauma to the deep part of the patient's ear canal during the flushing process. Then, by connecting the flushing water source pipeline to the pipeline port 331, the pipeline control valve 312 on the flushing water pump 33 and the corresponding connecting pipeline 311 is opened to make the two connected. The medical staff operates the flushing water pump 33 to discharge the flushing water into the mixing chamber 351 first, and finally sprays the flushing water through a number of mixing auxiliary pipelines 352. The spraying direction of the flushing water is toward the outside of the ear canal, and the flushing water will not enter the patient's ear canal through the barrier layer 221 and the barrier sealing gasket 222. The ear canal of the patient is irritated and damaged deep inside. During the flushing process of the patient's ear canal, the medical staff can adjust the flushing pressure and water flow rate to an appropriate range. Usually, the pressure is between 10-20kPa and the water flow rate is about 10-20mL / s. This allows the water flow to flush the ear canal more gently, avoiding the flushing water from directly rushing into the deep ear canal due to excessive pressure and excessive speed, so as to effectively remove cerumen or secretions without generating too much impact force, so as to achieve therapeutic operation in the patient's ear canal. The purpose of flushing the patient's ear canal with this device is that the ear canal of patients with external otitis often has purulent, bloody or viscous secretions. If these secretions are not removed in time, they will breed bacteria, aggravate the infection, and also affect The therapeutic effect of the drug can be affected. By flushing the patient's ear canal, secretions can be effectively removed, the ear canal can be kept clean, and good conditions for subsequent treatment can be created. After middle ear surgery, some blood, exudate, scab and other substances may remain in the surgical cavity. If these substances are not cleaned in time, they may cause infection, affect the surgical effect or lead to complications such as adhesion of the surgical cavity. Through ear canal flushing, these residual substances can be removed and the healing and recovery of the surgical cavity can be promoted. If small beads, pebbles, cotton swab heads, etc. accidentally enter the ear canal and are not easy to remove directly, flushing can also be used to flush the foreign matter out of the ear canal. However, for some foreign bodies that swell when exposed to water, are highly viscous or sharp, careful evaluation is required during flushing to avoid causing more serious damage.

[0048] When it is necessary to dry the patient's ear canal, the medical staff grasps the handheld device 1 with the connector 215 as the head end and extends it into the patient's ear canal that needs treatment, and is assisted by the corresponding camera probe 11 to extend it, and the medical staff operates the opening and storing mechanism 21 to expand the barrier layer 221 and the barrier sealing gasket 222, so as to limit the position in the patient's ear canal, and at the same time, the deep part of the ear canal can be isolated from the required treatment position in the ear canal, so as to avoid causing trauma to the deep part of the patient's ear canal during the drying process, and then the pipeline control valve 312 on the connecting pipeline 311 connected to the dryer 32 is opened so that the two are in a connected state, and then the medical staff controls the operation of the dryer 32 to blow out hot air, and the temperature of the hot air blown out is 38°C to 40°C, which is usually safe and effective, and can quickly remove moisture in the ear canal and keep the ear canal dry without causing discomfort, and the hot air will enter the mixing chamber 351, and then a number of mixing auxiliary The tube is discharged to blow and dry the patient's ear canal. The ear canal drying operation of the device can be used after the patient's ear canal is flushed and after ear surgery. There may be a small amount of bleeding or exudate in the ear canal. Keeping the ear canal dry is one of the important measures to prevent infection. Drying the ear canal can remove moisture and exudate in the ear canal in time, create a dry environment conducive to wound healing, and reduce the incidence of postoperative infection. A dry environment is conducive to the healing of ear surgery wounds, avoiding problems such as delayed wound healing and granulation tissue hyperplasia caused by moisture. Drying can keep the tissue in the ear canal in a relatively stable state, which is conducive to cell repair and regeneration. In addition, middle ear inflammation may cause tympanic membrane perforation, so that the secretions of the middle ear cavity flow into the ear canal through the perforation. At this time, drying the ear canal can reduce the irritation of the secretions to the ear canal skin, which is conducive to the control and recovery of the ear disease. In addition, patients with external auditory canal eczema often have exudate in the ear canal, and the skin is in a moist state, which will aggravate symptoms such as itching and redness. Drying the ear canal can reduce the accumulation of exudate and keep the ear canal skin dry, thereby alleviating eczema symptoms and promoting recovery;
[0049] When it is necessary to suck out dust and foreign matter in the patient's ear canal, the medical staff grasps the handheld device 1 with the connecting head 215 as the first end and extends it into the patient's ear canal that needs treatment, and extends it with the assistance of the corresponding camera probe 11. The medical staff operates the opening and storing mechanism 21 to expand the barrier layer 221 and the barrier sealing gasket 222, so as to limit the position in the patient's ear canal. At the same time, it can also isolate the deep part of the ear canal from the required treatment position in the ear canal, so as to avoid trauma to the deep part of the patient's ear canal during the dust and foreign matter suction operation. Then, the pipeline control valve 312 on the connecting pipeline 311 connected to the vacuum cleaner 34 is opened to make the two be in a connected state. Then, the medical staff controls the operation of the vacuum cleaner 34, and finally sucks out the dust and foreign matter in the ear canal through a plurality of mixed auxiliary pipelines 352, so as to achieve the effect of removing dust and foreign matter in the patient's ear canal. This device is suitable for patients with Due to congenital narrowness or abnormal curvature of the external auditory canal, dust in the ear canal is more likely to accumulate and is not easy to be discharged by itself. Even a small amount of dust entering may form a blockage in the ear canal, causing ear discomfort, which needs to be removed by suction. In patients with external otitis, the ear canal skin is in an inflamed state, and desquamation and scabbing may occur. At the same time, inflammation will also affect the self-cleaning function of the ear canal, making dust more likely to adhere and accumulate. When these dust particles are mixed with inflammatory secretions, they will aggravate ear discomfort and affect the recovery of inflammation. At this time, foreign matter needs to be sucked out and corresponding treatment needs to be carried out. There are also people who are in dusty environments for a long time, such as coal miners, construction workers, cleaners, etc., small dust particles can easily enter the ear canal during work. Because the ear canal has a certain curvature and self-cleaning function, some dust particles may temporarily adhere to the ear canal wall, but when accumulated to a certain extent, it may affect hearing or cause ear discomfort, and it needs to be sucked out.
[0050] Preferably, the plurality of connecting pipes 311 and the plurality of auxiliary mixing pipes 352 are silicone hoses, and the plurality of auxiliary mixing pipes 352 are arranged in an inclined outward trumpet shape, and the control buttons and operation buttons on the dryer 32, the flushing water pump 33 and the vacuum cleaner 34 are all located outside the handheld device 1 through the inside of the handheld device 1;
[0051] Several connecting pipes 311 and several mixing auxiliary pipes 352 are all silicone hoses, which have excellent high temperature resistance and can be used for a long time within the temperature range of 60°C to 200°C. They have good chemical stability, strong corrosion resistance, are non-toxic and odorless, have high transparency, good softness, and are easy to bend and install.
[0052] By setting a plurality of mixed auxiliary pipelines 352 in an inclined outward trumpet shape, the trumpet shape can make the flushing liquid spray out in a fan shape, increase the coverage area of flushing in the ear canal, and can more comprehensively flush all parts of the ear canal wall, effectively remove earwax, secretions, foreign matter, etc. in the ear canal. Compared with the traditional straight tube, the cleaning effect is more significant. The inclined outward design combined with the shape of the trumpet mouth can play a certain role in converging and guiding the flushing liquid, so that the flushing liquid forms a certain impact force in the ear canal, which is more conducive to flushing away the more stubborn earwax or foreign matter attached to the ear canal wall, and improve the thoroughness of flushing. The trumpet mouth design helps to guide the flushed liquid to flow out naturally along the ear canal wall, reducing the liquid residue in the ear canal. Because the residual liquid may breed bacteria, cause infection or cause earwax to clump again and block the ear canal, and this design can effectively reduce the probability of such a situation.
