Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of ear noise reduction, and in particular to a noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, people use earplugs to reduce noise. Generally, sponge earplugs or silicone earplugs are used. Most of the earplugs need to be inserted into the ear canal, which will cause swelling in the ear. If used for a long time, there will be pain, itching and other discomforts in the ear canal. Sponge earplugs are easy to get dirty and difficult to clean, and need to be replaced frequently. If they are not replaced frequently, they can easily cause skin allergies, otitis media and other symptoms in the ear canal. If people stay in a high-decibel environment for a long time, such as at a concert, it may cause hearing loss, tinnitus and other symptoms.

[0003] The present invention provides a noise-reducing earplug that does not enter the ear canal. The earplug covers the ear canal opening like a lid, does not enter the ear canal, does not cause discomfort in the ear, and is suitable for long-term use. The earplug can also specifically reduce high-decibel and high-frequency noise in a high-decibel environment, allowing clear hearing and protecting hearing. Summary of the Invention

The terms used in the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The singular forms "a", "said" and "the" used in the present invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and includes any or all possible combinations of one or more associated listed items.

[0017] like Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, a noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal is shown according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The earplug is cylindrical in shape, with an open front end and a closed rear end. The outer surface is smooth and can reflect noise. The inner surface is a cylindrical cavity 2, which can be loaded with a noise reduction component 4 through the open end. The earplugs are 10-12mm long and 10-12mm in diameter, with a cylindrical wall thickness of 0.5-2.5mm. 2-5 sizes are available to match the user's ear shape. They are made of medium-to-high-density noise-reducing materials, such as plastic and metal. The higher the material density, the better the high-frequency reflection blocking effect. Earplugs can be longer than 12mm for non-sleeping use, as being too long will cause discomfort when sleeping on the side.

[0018] The closed surface is densely covered with micro-through holes 1, with a hole diameter of 0.2~0.8mm, which can reduce noise and high-frequency noise; this earplug is suitable for reducing high-decibel noise and high-frequency noise in a high-decibel environment and can protect hearing.

[0019] Because human ears are different, 2-5 sizes need to be set, with the diameter difference between adjacent sizes being 0.5-1mm. For example: the diameters of 2 sizes of earplugs are 10mm and 11mm, or 10.5mm and 11.5mm; the diameters of 4 sizes of earplugs are 10mm, 10.5mm, 11mm, and 11.5mm.

[0020] like Figure 4 Figure 5 As shown in the figure, there is a diagram of another noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The micro-through hole component 3 in the figure is obtained by splitting the micro-through hole surface. The processing cost is high when the hole diameter is too small and the material is thick. The whole is in the shape of a sheet or cylinder, with a thickness of 0.2~0.8mm, which is convenient for installation. It is made of metal laser perforation, such as stainless steel.

[0021] like Figure 6 Figure 7 As shown in the figure, there is a diagram of another noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The earplug in the figure can be installed with the noise reduction component 4 from the open end to enhance noise reduction, and the rear closed surface has no micro-through holes to enhance noise reduction.

[0022] The noise reduction component 4 can be inserted into the cavity 2 to reduce noise, and is made of elastic polymer porous foam material or plastic material or silicone.

[0023] like Figure 8 As shown in the figure, there are two schematic diagrams of noise reduction components according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and the structure is as follows: The elastic polymer porous foam 5 can be used as a sponge earplug, with the excess portion 51 cut off or not cut, and then rolled into a thin layer for easy insertion into the cavity 2.

[0024] The plastic material 6 can be a silicone mud ear plug, which is rolled into a long strip 61 and then inserted into the cavity 2.

[0025] like Figure 9As shown in the figure, there is a cross-sectional view of another noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The earplug in the figure is a sponge earplug inserted into the cavity 2, and the whole is in the shape of a bullet. When in use, the sponge earplug is rubbed out and the edge 52 of the sponge earplug rebounds to fill the ear canal opening, which can reduce noise.

[0026] like Figure 10 As shown in the figure, there is a cross-sectional view of another noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The earplug in the figure is a silicone mud earplug inserted into the cavity 2, and the overall shape is bullet-shaped. When inserted into the ear during use, the earplug wall will press the front silicone mud edge 62 to deform and fill the ear canal opening, thereby completely sealing the ear canal opening and reducing noise.

[0027] like Figure 11 Figure 12 As shown in the figure, there is a diagram of another noise reduction earplug that does not enter the ear canal according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. The structure is as follows: The two ends of the earplug in the figure are closed, and the open end can be closed with a sealed round cover; the internal cavity can be vacuumed to below 7 to 0.1Pa, which will block the sound wave transmission path and thus reduce noise. An exhaust hole can be set in the center of the end face.

[0028] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present invention after considering the specification and practicing the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present invention that follow the general principles of the present invention and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed herein.
