When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0025] In order to solve the problem that the existing ear pick cannot observe the internal situation of the ear canal, the utility model proposes a camera assembly 1 of a visual ear pick, and the camera assembly 1 is used to connect with a handle (not shown in the figure) to form a visual ear pick. By connecting the visual ear pick to a mobile terminal, the image inside the ear canal is transmitted in real time. The user can observe the internal situation of the ear canal synchronously during the process, which can reduce the risk of damaging the ear canal during use.

[0026] Specifically, combined with Figure 1-3 The camera assembly 1 of the visual ear spoon comprises: a sleeve 2, a camera module 4 and a light-emitting assembly 21. The sleeve 2 is provided with a through hole 201 for the camera module 4 to pass through. The light-emitting assembly 21 is electrically connected to the camera module 4. The front end of the camera module 4 is provided with a first convex step 22, and the light-emitting assembly 21 is fixed around the first convex step 22. The light-emitting assembly 21 is used to illuminate the situation inside the ear canal so that the camera module 4 can take pictures. The first convex step 22 is used to make the light-emitting assembly surround the camera module 4, which can provide a better lighting effect.

[0027] The camera module 4 includes a lens 41 and a circuit board assembly 40 electrically connected to the lens 41, wherein the lens 41 is a photosensitive lens, and the circuit board assembly 40 includes a flexible circuit board 42, a fixing plate 44 and a support plate 43 for fixing the flexible circuit board 42, wherein the fixing plate 44 and the support plate 43 are respectively used to fix the flexible circuit board 42 to ensure that the flexible circuit board 42 is installed in the through hole 201, the fixing plate 44 is arranged below the lens 41, and is used to fix the lens 41 and the circuit board assembly 40, and one end of the support plate 43 is vertically fixed below the fixing plate 44 to ensure that the circuit board assembly 40 is installed in the through hole 201, and at the same time, the volume of the entire camera assembly 1 is not too large to affect its use in the ear canal. The light-emitting assembly 21 and the lens 41 are electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 40. The lens 41 and the circuit board adopt the existing public technology and have not been improved.

[0028] Further integration Figure 3 In the camera assembly 1 of the visual ear spoon of the present patent, a locking groove 5 is opened at the inner lower part of the sleeve 2, and the other end of the support plate 43 is at least partially inserted into the locking groove 5 to limit and fix the circuit board assembly 40. The camera module 4 is effectively fixed and limited by the locking connection between the support plate 43 and the locking groove 5, thereby reducing the risk of the camera module 4 falling into the ear canal during use.

[0029] Furthermore, in the present patent, the support plate 43 is in an inverted T-shaped structure, and two of the locking grooves 5 are symmetrically arranged, and the two lugs 431 of the support plate 43 are inserted into the locking grooves 5 .

[0030] To facilitate the assembly of the camera module 4 , the locking groove 5 is arranged at the rear end of the sleeve 2 , that is, one end of the locking groove 5 is flush with the edge of the sleeve 2 ; in other embodiments, the locking groove 5 may also be arranged on the inner side of the lower part of the sleeve 2 .

[0031] Combined with Figure 3 In order to further ensure that the camera module 4 does not fall into the ear canal, a limiting portion 203 may be provided at the opening at the front end of the sleeve 2. The limiting portion 203 is a limiting structure protruding from the inner wall of the sleeve, such as a limiting block or a limiting member. The setting of the limiting portion 203 makes the outer diameter of the opening smaller than the camera module 4 or the light-emitting module. Specifically, the camera assembly 1 may be such that the outer edge of the light-emitting assembly 21 abuts against the limiting portion 203, or a certain gap may be reserved between the limiting portion 203 and the light-emitting assembly. When the positioning groove 5 cannot support and limit the camera module 4, the limiting portion 203 may prevent the camera module 4 from falling into the ear canal. Alternatively, the inner diameter of the opening of the sleeve 2 may be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the camera module 4 of the camera assembly 1.

[0032] The light-emitting component 21 includes a lamp board 211 arranged around the first convex step 22, and a lamp bead 212 with a light-emitting surface facing the front end of the sleeve 2 is provided on the lamp board 211. The lamp bead 212 is preferably provided in plurality and evenly distributed around the lens 41. The support plate 43 and the fixing plate 44 are generally made of steel plates, and the lens 41 and the fixing plate 44 can be fixed by gluing. The fixing plate 44 and the support plate 43 can be fixed by glue, or a limiting structure can be provided on the lower side of the fixing plate 44, and a corresponding connecting structure is provided on the upper side of the support plate 43, and fixed by snap-fitting, or a combination of multiple methods can be used.

[0033] Furthermore, the front end of the sleeve 2 is connected to a spoon head 3 for cleaning the inside of the ear canal. The spoon head 3 is used to clean earwax in the ear, etc. The spoon head 3 can be in the shape of a spoon or a spiral spoon head, which can be used to massage or rotate and clean the ear canal. The spoon head 3 can be integrally formed with the camera assembly 1, or a second annular convex step 202 can be provided at the front end of the sleeve 2. The spoon head 3 can be detachably mounted on the second annular convex step 202. When the spoon head 3 is removed, it can still be inserted into the ear canal as a visual component.

[0034] Furthermore, combined with Figure 1 To ensure the convenience of using the visual ear spoon, the camera assembly 1 may further include a silicone sleeve 6 detachably arranged on the sleeve 2 and / or the spoon head 3. The shape of the silicone sleeve 6 may be adapted to the spoon head 3 and the sleeve 2. The silicone sleeve 6 is softer than the spoon head 3, and may better protect the ear canal and the sleeve 2. At the same time, the silicone sleeve 6 may be replaced to allow different people to use the ear spoon, thereby ensuring hygiene.

[0035] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
