[0024] Specifically, the movement of the connecting rod 41 can drive the second rotating rod 45 to rotate through the second connecting ring 43, thereby pulling the cleaning plate 42 to deflect, so that the cleaning plate 42 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the ear canal, making it easier for the cleaning plate 42 to clean the ear canal.

[0025] In this embodiment, a first rotating block 44 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second connecting ring 43, a second rotating block 46 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cleaning plate 42, and the two ends of the second rotating rod 45 are respectively rotatably connected to the inner sides of the first rotating block 44 and the second rotating block 46. A rotating groove 47 is provided on the outer side of the outer shell 21, and the second rotating rod 45 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating groove 47.

[0026] Specifically, the first rotating block 44 and the second rotating block 46 facilitate the rotation of the second rotating rod 45, and the rotating groove 47 facilitates the second rotating rod 45 to pass through the outer shell 21, thus facilitating the connection between the cleaning plate 42 and the second rotating rod 45.

[0027] In this embodiment, a rotating cylinder 23 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the first rotating rod 22, a rotating head 24 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the rotating cylinder 23, a threaded rod 26 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating head 24, a threaded block 25 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell 21, the threaded rod 26 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 25, and a rotating cap 27 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the threaded rod 26.

[0028] Specifically, the threaded rod 26 is rotated by the rotating cap 27, the threaded block 25 facilitates the movement of the first rotating rod 22 by the threaded rod 26, the rotating drum 23 facilitates the rotation of the rotating head 24, and the first rotating rod 22 pushes the connecting rod 41 to move.

[0029] In this embodiment, a top plate 5 and a first connecting ring 7 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the outer shell 21, and a positioning ring 8 is fixedly connected between the top plate 5 and the first connecting ring 7.

[0034] Specifically, the scraper 33 can scrape the outer side of the cleaning disc 42 to remove the dirt adhering to the outer side of the cleaning disc 42, so that the dirt falls into the inner side of the collection tank 32, which facilitates the cleaning of the surface of the cleaning disc 42 and the collection of dirt.

[0035] It should be noted that during use, rotating the cap 27 drives the threaded rod 26 to rotate, causing the rotating head 24 to rotate inside the rotating cylinder 23. The first rotating rod 22 pushes the connecting rod 41 to move, causing the second connecting ring 43 to drive the second rotating rod 45 to rotate, and also causing the upper end of the second rotating rod 45 to deflect, so that the cleaning plate 42 deflects to the appropriate position. Then, the outer shell 21 is inserted into the ear canal, and the threaded rod 26 is rotated to open the cleaning plate 42, making the cleaning plate 42 fit tightly against the inner wall of the ear canal. Finally, rotating the outer shell 21 drives the cleaning plate 42 to rotate, cleaning the ear canal. At this time, the limiting cylinder 9 can hold the slider 11 through the sliding groove 10, so that the first connecting ring 7 rotates inside the spring 6. Pulling the outer shell 21 can drive the top plate 5 to press the positioning ring 8 to retract. The sliding groove 10 can facilitate the sliding of the slider 11. Pulling the connecting rod 41 can retract it to the inside of the outer cylinder 1. The scraper 33 can scrape the outside of the cleaning plate 42 to remove the dirt on the outside of the cleaning plate 42 and let the dirt fall into the inside of the collection groove 32. The positioning ring 8 can facilitate the top plate 5 to rebound, making it convenient for the cleaning plate 42 to clean the ear canal again.
