Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of earplugs, and in particular to a silicone earplug for swimming. Background Art

[0002] Silicone earplugs are commonly used protective equipment in swimming and other water activities. They are mainly used to prevent water from entering the ear canal, thereby reducing the risk of external ear canal infections such as swimmer's ear (otitis externa). Silicone material, due to its excellent waterproof performance and good adaptability, can fit a variety of ear canal shapes and provide a comfortable and effective seal. In addition, silicone earplugs are highly durable and reusable, making them the first choice for many swimming enthusiasts and professional athletes.

[0003] Although existing silicone earplugs excel in many aspects, they still fall short in certain situations. In particular, during intense water activities, such as diving or quick turns, the earplugs tend to loosen or fall off. This instability can cause moisture to penetrate into the ear canal, increase the risk of ear infections, and weaken the protective effect of the earplugs, affecting the swimmer's overall experience and performance.

[0004] In view of the limitations of existing silicone earplugs in actual use, it is necessary to develop a silicone earplug for swimming, so that users can have higher stability when swimming and ensure that it is not easy to loosen or fall off even during strenuous exercise. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and to provide a silicone earplug for swimming, so that the user can have higher stability when swimming and ensure that the silicone earplug is not easy to loosen or fall off even during strenuous exercise.

When the second extending portion is arranged in the triangular fossa, the second connecting portion fits with the antihelix.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the earplug body comprises:

[0017] Shaped head, plugged into the external auditory canal;

[0018] The conical body is fixedly connected to one end of the shaped head which is away from the external auditory canal. When the shaped head is inserted into the external auditory canal, the conical body is arranged in the concha cavity.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present application, the truncated head is in a truncated cone shape, and the diameter of one end of the truncated head close to the external auditory canal is smaller than the diameter of one end of the conical body close to the conical body.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, a deformation groove is provided at one end of the shaped head portion facing the external auditory canal, and the deformation groove is used to increase the degree of deformation of the shaped head portion when it is inserted into the external auditory canal.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the first ear support is fixedly connected to the earplug body, and the second ear support is fixedly connected to the side of the first ear support away from the earplug body. By utilizing the natural structure of the ear to increase the stability of the earplug, the earplug body is inserted into the external auditory canal, the first ear support is arranged in the concha, and the second ear support is arranged in the triangular fossa, so that the silicone earplug is more firmly in place. In this way, when the user is swimming, the silicone earplug can have a higher stability, ensuring that the silicone earplug will not loosen or fall off even during strenuous exercise, so that the earplug body can be firmly inserted into the external auditory canal to prevent water from entering the external auditory canal.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3The present application proposes a silicone earplug 10 for swimming, comprising an earplug body 100 and an ear support (not marked), the earplug body 100 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4; the ear support comprises a first ear support 210 and a second ear support 220, the first ear support 210 is fixedly connected to the earplug body 100, and the second ear support 220 is fixedly connected to a side of the first ear support 210 away from the earplug body 100, the first ear support 210 is arranged in the concha a1, and the second ear support 220 is arranged in the triangular fossa a2.

[0036] Specifically, the silicone earplug is made of silicone material, which can effectively seal the ear canal and prevent moisture from entering due to its excellent waterproof performance and softness. The soft texture of silicone also reduces irritation to the ear canal, providing a more comfortable wearing experience. The earplug body 100 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4 to prevent water from entering the external auditory canal a. The concha a1 is a recessed part of the ear, and the first ear support 210 is arranged in the concha a1, which can effectively increase the stability of the earplug, and use the shape of the concha a1 to help fix the earplug; the triangular fossa a2 is an area of ​​the ear closer to the head, and the second ear support 220 is fixedly connected to the first ear support 210 on the side away from the earplug body 100. The second ear support 220 is arranged in the triangular fossa a2, which further enhances the overall stability and ensures that the earplug is not easy to loosen or fall off even during intense exercise.

[0037] By inserting the earplug body 100 into the external auditory canal a4, the first ear support 210 is arranged in the concha a1, and the second ear support 220 is arranged in the triangular fossa a2, the natural structure of the ear is used to increase the stability of the earplug. By providing two fixing points (the concha a1 and the triangular fossa a2), the earplug can be kept in place more firmly, reducing the discomfort or interference caused by frequent adjustment of the earplug, and solving the problem of loosening and falling off of existing silicone earplugs.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first ear support 210 is provided with a first connecting portion 211 and a first extending portion 212. One end of the first connecting portion 211 is connected to the first extending portion 212, and the other end is connected to the earplug body 100. The first extending portion 212 is provided in the concha a1.

[0039] Specifically, by arranging the first extending portion 212 in the concha a1, it can be ensured that the earplug is not easy to loosen or fall off even during intense exercise. The existence of the first connecting portion 211 allows a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability, so that the earplug can better adapt to the ear shape of different users, thereby providing a more personalized use experience.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first protruding portion 212 is located between the antihelix crus a62 and the helix crus a5.

[0041] Specifically, the first extending portion 212 is disposed in the concha a1, that is, between the antihelix crus a62 and the helix crus a5, so that the ear support can utilize the natural curvature and elasticity of these ear structures to provide a more stable fixation for the earplug.

[0042] In one embodiment, the first connection portion 211 is provided with a first deformation hole 2111, and the first deformation hole 2111 is used to increase the bending deformation degree of the first connection portion 211. When the first extension portion 212 is disposed in the concha a1, the helix proximal crus a62 and the helix crus a5 are squeezed against the first connection portion 211.

[0043] Specifically, when the first insertion portion 212 is disposed in the concha a1 and the first connection portion 211 contacts the helix crus and the helix crus a5, the first connection portion 211 can bend more naturally and adapt to the internal structure of the ear due to the presence of the first deformation hole 2111. This design reduces the pressure points caused by not being suitable for the ear shape and improves the overall adaptability and comfort of the earplug. The provision of the first deformation hole 2111 allows the first connection portion 211 to deform appropriately when squeezed by the ear structure such as the helix crus and the helix crus a5, rather than causing discomfort or shifting the position of the earplug.

[0044] In one embodiment, the second ear support 220 is provided with a second connecting portion 221 and a second extending portion 222. One end of the second connecting portion 221 is connected to the second extending portion 222, and the other end is connected to the first connecting portion 211. The second extending portion 222 is provided in the triangular fossa a2.

[0045] Specifically, one end of the second connecting portion 221 is connected to the second extending portion 222, and the other end is connected to the first connecting portion 211. The second extending portion 222 is arranged in the triangular fossa a2, which is the area of ​​the outer ear a between the helix and the concha a1. This position provides an ideal supporting point for the silicone earplug to more firmly fix the earplug body 100 in the ear canal.

[0046] In one embodiment, the second extending portion 222 is located between the antihelix crus a61 and the antihelix crus a62.

[0047] Specifically, the second extending portion 222 is arranged in the triangular fossa a2, that is, between the antihelix foot a62 and the helix foot a5, so that the ear support can utilize the natural curvature and elasticity of these ear structures to provide a more stable fixation for the earplug.

[0048] In one embodiment, the second connection portion 221 is provided with a second deformation hole 2211, and the second deformation hole 2211 is used to increase the bending deformation degree of the second connection portion 221. When the second extension portion 222 is disposed in the triangular fossa a2, the second connection portion 221 fits against the antihelix a6.

[0049] Specifically, the second connection part 221 is provided with a second deformation hole 2211, which allows the second connection part 221 to better maintain its position under the influence of movement and water flow. By enhancing the bending deformation degree of the second connection part 221, the adaptability of the second connection part 221 is enhanced. The second connection part 221 can fit the internal structure of the ear more naturally, especially in the complex triangular fossa a2 area, thereby avoiding displacement and possible falling off of the earplug.

[0050] In one embodiment, the earplug body 100 includes a head portion 110 and a conical body 120, wherein the head portion 110 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4; the conical body 120 is fixedly connected to one end of the head portion 110 which is away from the external auditory canal a4, and when the head portion 110 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4, the conical body 120 is disposed in the concha cavity a3.

[0051] Specifically, the conical body 120 is fixedly connected to one end of the ear plug 110 away from the external auditory canal a4, and when the ear plug 110 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4, the conical body 120 is arranged in the concha cavity a3. The ear plug is inserted into the external auditory canal a4 to ensure that it can effectively block moisture, prevent water from entering the ear canal, and reduce the risk of external auditory canal infection.

[0052] In one embodiment, the head portion 110 is in a truncated cone shape, and a diameter of an end of the head portion 110 close to the external auditory canal is smaller than a diameter of an end of the conical body 120 close to the conical body 120 .

[0053] Specifically, the cone-shaped head 110 is in a truncated cone shape, which allows the cone-shaped head 110 to more easily adapt to the natural contraction of the external auditory canal a, thereby providing a progressive seal from small to large. This sealing method can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the ear canal, reducing the risk of infection caused by water. Due to the gradually enlarging design of the cone-shaped head 110, the earplug body 100 can be more firmly locked in the external auditory canal a during the insertion process, and the appropriate design of the conical body 120 also helps the earplug body 100 to remain stable in the concha cavity a3, preventing it from falling off due to movement or large water flow.

[0054] In one embodiment, a deformation groove 111 is provided at one end of the head portion 110 facing the external auditory canal a4, and the deformation groove 111 is used to increase the degree of deformation when the head portion 110 is inserted into the external auditory canal a4.

[0055] Specifically, the deformation grooves 111 allow the shaped head 110 to better adapt to different shapes and sizes of the ear canal when inserted into the external auditory canal. These grooves increase the flexibility of the material, allowing the earplug to adjust its shape under different pressures to achieve the best sealing effect. In addition, the presence of the deformation grooves 111 reduces the rigid pressure of the shaped head 110 on the ear canal, making the earplug softer and more comfortable when worn, and reducing the discomfort caused by the hard squeezing of the earplug.

[0056] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
