Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nasal irrigators, and more particularly to an integrated nasal irrigator with an adjustable-angle micro-endoscope. Background Technology

[0002] As the first line of defense in the human respiratory system, the nasal cavity plays an important role in filtering, warming, and humidifying air. Nasal irrigators, as an effective tool for nasal cleaning and care, can remove secretions, allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances from the nasal cavity by spraying saline or other suitable liquids into it. This keeps the nasal cavity clean and moist, relieves inflammation of the nasal mucosa, and improves nasal ventilation.

[0003] A waterproof electric nasal irrigator with a nasal aspiration function, disclosed in Publication No. CN222917809U, includes a body, a nasal aspirator, and a nasal irrigator. The body contains an internal mounting bracket. This device has a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to operate, and is highly practical. It also has good waterproof performance, allowing for easy washing and cleaning. However, this device lacks the ability to adjust the nozzle angle and perform real-time monitoring. During use, it is difficult to accurately spray liquid into all parts of the nasal cavity, resulting in incomplete cleaning of some areas and affecting the cleaning effect and efficiency. Furthermore, because the internal condition of the nasal cavity cannot be directly observed, blind rinsing can easily lead to inadequate or excessive rinsing, damaging the nasal mucosa and causing discomfort such as bleeding and pain, thus affecting the safety of use.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to design an integrated nasal irrigator with an adjustable-angle micro-endoscope that can adjust the nozzle and camera position at multiple angles to perform nasal irrigation while simultaneously capturing images and monitoring the condition inside the nasal cavity in real time, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency, avoiding damage or discomfort, and enhancing the safety of use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the current device, which lacks the functions of adjusting the nozzle angle and real-time monitoring, making it difficult to accurately spray liquid into all parts of the nasal cavity during use, resulting in incomplete cleaning of some areas and affecting the cleaning effect and efficiency, and because it is impossible to directly observe the condition inside the nasal cavity, problems such as inadequate or excessive rinsing can easily occur, damaging the nasal mucosa and affecting the safety of use, this invention provides an integrated nasal irrigator with an adjustable-angle micro-endoscope that can adjust the nozzle and camera position at multiple angles for nasal irrigation while simultaneously capturing images and monitoring the condition inside the nasal cavity in real time, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency, avoiding damage or discomfort, and enhancing the safety of use.

[0031] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a first motor 8, a second motor 9, a first gear set 10, a second gear set 11, a connecting sleeve 12, a bevel gear 13, and a rotating frame 14. The first motor 8 is connected to the inner side of the upper right part of the connecting cover 6. The first motor 8 and the processor are electrically connected via a control module. The second motor 9 is connected to the inner side of the upper left part of the connecting cover 6. The second motor 9 and the processor are electrically connected via a control module.

The first gear set 10 is provided between the connecting sleeve 12 and the output shafts of the first motor 8 and the second motor 9. The first gear set 10 includes a first gear and a first gear ring. The first gear is rotatably connected to the upper part of the output shaft of the first motor 8, and the upper part of the output shaft of the second motor 9 is also connected to... The device has a first gear, and a first gear ring is connected to the lower side of the connecting sleeve 12. The first gear meshes with the first gear ring. A second gear set 11 is provided between the connecting pipe 7 and the output shafts of the first motor 8 and the second motor 9. The second gear set 11 includes a second gear and a second gear ring. The lower part of the output shaft of the first motor 8 is connected to the second gear, and the lower part of the output shaft of the second motor 9 is also rotatably connected to the second gear. The lower part of the connecting pipe 7 is connected to the second gear ring, and the second gear meshes with the second gear ring.

A water outlet hole is opened on the upper part of the rotating frame 14 to facilitate water flow. A bevel gear 13 is also connected to the rotating frame 14, and the two bevel gears 13 mesh with each other.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, the spray observation assembly includes a hose 15, a nozzle 16, and a camera 17. The hose 15 is connected to the upper side of the connecting pipe 7. The hose 15 is connected to the rotating frame 14. The nozzle 16 is connected to the upper part of the rotating frame 14 by a thread. The upper part of the nozzle 16 is conical to facilitate concentrated spraying of saline solution for rinsing. Four cameras 17 are connected to the nozzle 16 and are evenly distributed along the nozzle 16.

[0033] When nasal irrigation is needed, this device can be used. Remove the transparent placement cylinder 5 by manually rotating it. Then, connect the filter 4 to the water pipe 3, and rotate the filter 4 to install it. Next, add saline solution to the placement cylinder 5, then connect it to the outer casing 1, and rotate the placement cylinder 5 to install it. Then, connect the connecting cap 6 to the outer casing 1, and rotate the connecting cap 6 to install it, so that the connecting pipe 7 contacts the water pipe 3. Finally, connect the nozzle 16 to the rotating frame 14, and rotate the nozzle 16 to install it. Holding the outer casing 1, the user lifts the device, inserting the nozzle 16 into the user's nasal cavity. Cameras 17, evenly distributed along the nozzle 16, capture and monitor the nasal cavity's interior in real time. Based on the nasal cavity's condition, the processor activates the first motor 8 via the control module. The first motor 8 drives the corresponding first gear to rotate. The first gear meshes with the first gear ring, causing another first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting sleeve 12 to rotate, causing the corresponding bevel gear 13 to rotate. The bevel gears 13 mesh with each other, causing the rotating frame 14 to rotate along the connecting sleeve 1. The rotation of the axis of motor 2 drives the nozzle 16 and camera 17 to rotate, or the second motor 9 is started, which drives the corresponding second gear to rotate. The second gear meshes with the second gear ring, causing another second gear to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting pipe 7 to rotate. The bevel gears 13 mesh with each other, causing the rotating frame 14 to rotate along the connecting pipe 7, which in turn drives the nozzle 16 and camera 17 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the nozzle 16 and camera 17. After adjustment, the first motor 8 and the second motor 9 are turned off, and then the water pump 2 is started, so that the water in the placement cylinder 5 can be pumped to the surface. The saline solution flows through the filter screen 4, into the water pipe 3, and then sequentially through the connecting pipe 7, the flexible hose 15, and the rotating frame 14. Finally, it flows from the water outlet into the nozzle 16 and is sprayed out to rinse the nasal cavity. The upper part of the nozzle 16 is conical, which allows for multi-angle adjustment of the nozzle 16 and the camera 17 to simultaneously wash the nose and photograph and monitor the condition inside the nasal cavity in real time, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency, avoiding damage or discomfort, and improving the safety of use. After rinsing, the device is moved by hand so that the nozzle 16 and the camera 17 are removed from the nasal cavity, and then the device can be placed on the table.

[0034] When any part of this device is damaged during use, it can be removed by manually rotating the nozzle 16, and then the placement cylinder 5, filter screen 4 and connecting cover 6 can be removed and replaced or cleaned in sequence. Alternatively, the outer casing 1 containing the water pump 2 or the connecting cover 6 containing the first motor 8 and the second motor 9 can be replaced. Then, the nozzle 16 with the new camera 17 can be installed, or the new nozzle 16 can be brought into contact with the rotating frame 14 and then rotated to move the nozzle 16 for installation. Alternatively, the cleaned or new filter screen 4 can be brought into contact with the water pipe 3 and then rotated to install the filter screen 4. Next, the placement cylinder 5 can be brought into contact with the outer casing 1 and then rotated to move the placement cylinder 5 for installation. This allows the device to be assembled for nasal irrigation. The operation is simple and facilitates the installation, removal, cleaning and replacement of any part of the device. It is convenient to use. After that, the assembled device can be used again.
