Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to an automatic ear cleaning and medication dispensing device. Background Art

[0002] In the field of clinical treatment of external auditory canal diseases, diseases such as external auditory canal eczema, external auditory canal fungus, external otitis (excessive secretions), and external auditory canal cerumen embolism are relatively common, causing varying degrees of impact on the patient's ear health. Timely and effective treatment is very critical.

[0003] Currently, there are many difficulties and challenges in the treatment of these external auditory canal diseases. In the cleaning process, traditional cleaning methods are difficult to meet clinical needs. If hard tools are used for cleaning, it is very easy to damage the skin of the ear canal, causing secondary infection and worsening the patient's condition; and the cleaning effects of existing soft brushes vary. Some soft brushes cannot effectively remove stubborn secretions, earwax and other foreign matter in the ear canal. At the same time, the lack of an effective suction device makes it difficult to immediately remove waste generated during the cleaning process, which not only affects the operating field of view, but may also cause waste to accumulate in the ear canal, hindering subsequent treatment.

[0004] There are also significant deficiencies in drug treatment. Existing drug delivery methods struggle to achieve precise and deep delivery. Conventional drug drops often prevent the drug from reaching the affected area deep within the ear canal, preventing it from fully exerting its full effect and significantly reducing the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, during the procedure, the slightest carelessness can easily lead to accidental injury to the eardrum or ear canal, further damaging the patient's ear structure and function.

[0005] These problems seriously restrict the treatment effect of external auditory canal diseases, increase patients' pain and treatment cycle, and urgently need an innovative ear cleaning and medication device to solve the above problems, so as to improve the clinical treatment level of external auditory canal diseases and ensure patients' ear health. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: an automated ear cleaning and medication device, comprising: an earmuff, a guide rod, a guide sleeve, a microporous probe, an irrigation pump, a heater, an air pump, and a medication injection pump; The earmuff is a hollow spherical cover, and a sleeve is provided at the rear end of the earmuff to be rotatably connected to a guide sleeve; the guide sleeve is internally rotatably connected to a guide rod; The front end of the guide sleeve is provided with a square groove in an array, and a plurality of flexible bristles are arranged in an array on the guide sleeve wall adjacent to the square groove; The front end of the guide rod is integrally provided with a baffle, and a blocking bag is integrally provided on the guide rod wall at the rear end of the baffle; an infusion tube, a drug delivery tube, and an air delivery tube are embedded inside the guide rod; a plurality of spray holes are arranged in an array at the front of the guide rod; a microporous probe is detachably provided at the front end of the baffle, and a drug spray hole is arranged in an array on the outer wall of the baffle; The rear end of the drug delivery tube is movably connected to the drug injection pump, and the front end is connected to the drug spraying hole on the baffle; The rear end of the infusion tube is integrally provided with a three-way valve connected to the irrigation pump and the heater, and the front end is connected to the spray hole at the front of the guide rod; The rear end of the air delivery tube is detachably connected to the air pump, and the front end of the air delivery tube is connected to the interior of the blocking bag; Furthermore, the earmuffs are made of transparent hard plastic, and a display screen is integrally provided on the outer wall of the earmuffs and is wirelessly connected to the microporous probe, so that images monitored by the microporous probe are displayed in real time on the display screen; Furthermore, the occluding capsule is flat, and an array of telescopic rods is provided on the inner wall of the occluding capsule; one end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guide rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the occluding capsule; the telescopic rods ensure that the occluding capsule expands in a circular shape on the plane formed by the plurality of telescopic rods, thereby achieving occlusion of the ear canal and preventing the cleaning process from affecting or damaging the eardrum; Furthermore, the liquid outlet of the three-way valve is connected to the rear end of the infusion tube, and the two liquid inlets of the three-way valve are connected to the irrigation pump and the warm air pump respectively; the irrigation pump and the warm air pump alternately input irrigation liquid or warm air into the infusion tube through the three-way valve, and the irrigation liquid or warm air is sprayed through the spray hole at the front end of the guide rod to infiltrate and rinse the ear canal or dry it with warm air; Furthermore, an operating handle is provided at the rear end of the guide sleeve for easy operation, and the guide sleeve is rotated by controlling the operating handle to drive the bristles to move and scrub the skin in the ear canal.
