Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology. Background Art

[0002] Otolaryngology is a medical specialty responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat and related head and neck diseases. In the field of otolaryngology, doctors may deal with a variety of problems, including colds, pharyngitis, sinusitis, hearing problems, tinnitus, nasal congestion, allergic rhinitis, etc. The otolaryngology ear canal cleaner is one of the commonly used medical devices in otolaryngology.

[0003] When performing ear canal cleaning tasks, ENT medical staff usually rely on cotton swabs as cleaning tools. However, this method has an obvious flaw: it cannot effectively collect and dispose of the residues generated during the cleaning process. This causes the residues to be easily discharged from the patient's ear canal, thereby contaminating their clothing and the hospital environment. In view of this shortcoming, we urgently need to design an ear canal cleaner specifically for ENT to optimize the cleaning process and reduce the risk of contamination. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, an exhaust port is provided at the rear end of the handle, and a protective net is provided inside the exhaust port.

[0009] Preferably, a control button is provided on the handle.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism is a scraper symmetrically arranged on a rotating shaft, and a plurality of groups of bristles are arranged on a side of the scraper close to the chip guard net, and the ends of the bristles do not contact the chip guard net.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] When the utility model is in use, the micro motor and the dual-axis motor are started, the micro motor drives the cleaning probe to rotate, and the cleaning probe is inserted into the patient's ear canal. When the cleaning probe rotates in the patient's ear canal, the soft bristles clean the residues in the patient's ear canal to separate them from the ear canal skin. At the same time, the dual-axis motor drives the fan blades to rotate to suck the residues in the ear canal that have separated from the ear canal skin into the interior of the handle. When passing through the chip blocking net, the residues are blocked by the chip blocking net and fall into the interior of the collection bottle and are collected by the collection bottle, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting the residues after cleaning the ear canal and avoiding the situation where improper handling of the residues contaminates the patient's clothes and the hospital environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, an ear canal cleaner for otolaryngology comprises a handle 1, a cleaning probe 2 is rotatably provided on the front end of the inner wall of the handle 1 through a locking assembly 5, soft bristles 9 and holes 3 are staggeredly provided on the outer surface of the cleaning probe 2, a cross frame 7 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the handle 1 where the cleaning probe 2 is located, a micro motor 8 is provided inside the handle 1, the output end of the micro motor 8 is connected to the cross frame 7, a dual-axis motor 12 is provided inside the handle 1 through a mounting frame 11, a fan blade 13 is provided at one end of the dual-axis motor 12 away from the micro motor 8 through a casing, a chip guard net 10 is provided between the micro motor 8 and the dual-axis motor 12, a rotating shaft 14 is provided at the other end of the micro motor 8, a cleaning mechanism 15 for cleaning the chip guard net 10 is provided after the rotating shaft 14 passes through the chip guard net 10, an internal threaded sleeve 19 is provided at the bottom of the handle 1, the internal threaded sleeve 19 is located between the micro motor 8 and the chip guard net 10, and the internal thread of the internal threaded sleeve 19 is connected to a collecting bottle 20.

[0021] In this embodiment, the setting of the locking component 5 enables the cleaning probe 2 to rotate inside the handle 1. When the patient's ear canal needs to be cleaned, the handle 1 is held, the micro motor 8 and the dual-axis motor 12 are started, and the micro motor 8 drives the cleaning probe 2 to rotate, and the cleaning probe 2 is inserted into the patient's ear canal. When the cleaning probe 2 rotates in the patient's ear canal, the soft bristles 9 clean the residue in the patient's ear canal to separate it from the ear canal skin. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 12 drives the fan blades 13 to rotate to generate negative pressure inside the handle 1 and the cleaning probe 2. At this time, the residue in the ear canal that has separated from the ear canal skin is sucked into the handle 1 through the hole 3 by the fan blades 13. When passing through the chip blocking net 10, the residue is blocked by the chip blocking net 10 and falls into the collection bottle 20 and is collected by the collection bottle 20, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting the residue after cleaning the ear canal, avoiding the situation where the residue is improperly handled and contaminating the patient's clothes and the hospital environment. The cleaning mechanism 15 is set so that the residue on the chip blocking net 10 is well cleaned, avoiding the residue clogging the chip blocking net 10.

[0022] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 5 is an annular groove arranged at the front end of the inner wall of the handle 1, and a slip ring 6 is passed through the inside of the annular groove. The inner wall of the slip ring 6 is connected to the cleaning probe 2. The cooperation between the annular groove and the slip ring 6 enables the cleaning probe 2 to be limited and guided when it rotates inside the handle 1.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the cleaning probe 2 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 4, and the provision of the arc-shaped protrusion 4 improves the comfort of the cleaning probe 2 entering the patient's ear canal.

[0024] like Figure 2As shown, an exhaust port 17 is provided at the rear end of the handle 1, and a protective net 18 is provided inside the exhaust port 17. The protective net 18 prevents foreign matter from entering the interior of the handle 1 through the exhaust port 17 and causing damage to the handle 1.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a control button 21 is provided on the handle 1, and the control button 21 is used to operate the ear canal cleaner.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 15 is a scraper symmetrically arranged on the rotating shaft 14, and a plurality of groups of bristles 16 are arranged on the side of the scraper close to the chip guard net 10, and the ends of the bristles 16 do not contact the chip guard net 10. When the output end of the dual-axis motor 12 rotates, it will drive the rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 14 drives the scraper to rotate. The rotation of the scraper drives the bristles 16 to sweep off the residue on the chip guard net 10, so that the chip guard net 10 is cleaned, thereby improving the stability of the ear canal cleaner.

[0027] Working principle: During use, when it is necessary to clean the patient's ear canal, hold the handle 1, start the micro motor 8 and the dual-axis motor 12, the micro motor 8 drives the cleaning probe 2 to rotate, and the cleaning probe 2 is inserted into the patient's ear canal. When the cleaning probe 2 rotates in the patient's ear canal, the soft bristles 9 clean the residue in the patient's ear canal to separate it from the ear canal skin. At the same time, the dual-axis motor 12 drives the fan blades 13 to rotate to generate negative pressure inside the handle 1 and the cleaning probe 2. At this time, the residue in the ear canal that has separated from the ear canal skin is sucked into the interior of the handle 1 by the fan blades 13 through the hole 3. When passing through the chip blocking net 10, the residue is blocked by the chip blocking net 10 and falls into the collection bottle 20 and is collected by the collection bottle 20, thereby achieving the purpose of collecting the residue after cleaning the ear canal, avoiding the situation where the residue is improperly handled and contaminating the patient's clothes and the hospital environment. Through the setting of the cleaning mechanism 15, the residue on the chip blocking net 10 is well cleaned, avoiding the residue from clogging the chip blocking net 10.
