Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, in particular to a device for preventing ear barotrauma during hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Background Art

[0002] Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a method of treating hypoxic diseases and related disorders by breathing pure oxygen or high-concentration oxygen in a high-pressure environment (exceeding normal pressure). Changes in the pressure in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber will cause an imbalance in the pressure inside and outside the patient's eardrum, which can easily lead to complications such as middle ear barotrauma. Therefore, an ear barotrauma prevention device is needed to protect the ear canal and balance the pressure inside and outside the ear canal.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese patent with patent publication number CN211797221U discloses an ear canal protection device for balanced hyperbaric oxygen therapy, including a sponge earplug, with pressure relief holes on both sides of the bottom end of the sponge earplug, a protective shell located on the outer side of the pressure relief hole on the top of the sponge earplug, a baffle on the top of the protective shell, a mounting block fixedly installed on the bottom end of the baffle, a spring fixedly installed on the right end of the mounting block, and a handle fixedly installed on the top end of the baffle.

[0004] Although the above patent can expose the pressure relief hole by pulling the pull ring to balance the pressure inside and outside the ear canal, the pull ring is only pulled to relieve pressure when discomfort is felt. In actual use, it is impossible to monitor the pressure values ​​inside and outside the ear canal and then automatically relieve pressure. There is a situation where the pressure inside the ear canal is too high and the pressure is not relieved in time, causing ear barotrauma. Therefore, we propose a hyperbaric oxygen therapy ear barotrauma prevention device. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the pressure in the ear canal is inconvenient to be monitored in real time and automatically relieved in the prior art, and the pressure in the ear canal is too high and not relieved in time, resulting in ear barotrauma, and proposes a hyperbaric oxygen therapy ear barotrauma prevention device.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: it includes an anti-pressure earmuff, one side of the anti-pressure earmuff is fixedly connected to a pressure sensor, the outside of the pressure sensor is provided with a noise-proof earplug, one end of the noise-proof earplug is fixedly connected to one side of the anti-pressure earmuff, one side of the anti-pressure earmuff is provided with a first pressure relief hole, the other side of the anti-pressure earmuff is fixedly connected to a buffer plate, one side of the buffer plate is provided with a second pressure relief hole, the other side of the buffer plate is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a rotating disk, and one side of the rotating disk is provided with a third pressure relief hole.

[0007] Furthermore, an outer gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the turntable, and a gear is meshed on one side of the outer gear ring.

[0008] Furthermore, a communication cavity is provided at one end of the noise-proof earplug, and a pressure relief cavity is provided at the other end of the noise-proof earplug, and the pressure relief cavity is communicated with the communication cavity.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the pressure-proof earmuff, and one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the earmuff rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. In the utility model, a pressure sensor is provided to monitor the change of the air pressure in the ear canal. The motor can drive the turntable to rotate, so that the third pressure relief hole moves to gradually expose the second pressure relief hole for pressure relief.
