DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the utility model provides a one-way ear cleaning ball, comprising: a ball 1, a bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the ball 1, the bracket 2 is a hollow rod-shaped structure, the bracket 2 is connected to the ball 1, and the bracket 2 has a first air port 21 and a second air port 22.

[0025] Among them, Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the sphere 1 is connected with an air intake pipe 3 and an exhaust pipe 4, and the air intake pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 4 are connected with the sphere 1 through a bracket 2. Connectors 5 are provided at the tops of the air intake pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 4, and the connectors 5 are threadedly connected to the bracket 2, so that the air intake pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 4 can be disassembled from the bracket 2, so that a single component can be easily replaced after being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the ear cleaning ball and reducing the cost of use.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a blocking structure 7 is provided in both the air intake pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 4 , and the air intake pipe 3 , the exhaust pipe 4 and the blocking structure 7 form a one-way dual-channel structure.

[0027] Specifically, the blocking structure 7 is composed of a spring 71 and a blocking ball 72 . The blocking ball 72 is suspended at the lower part of the intake pipe 3 by the spring 71 , and another blocking ball 72 is supported at the upper part of the exhaust pipe 4 by the spring 71 connected thereto.

[0028] Furthermore, the intake pipe 3 is divided into an upper pipe and a lower pipe, and the upper pipe and the lower pipe are connected by a flange 6. A sealing rubber ring is provided in the flange 6 to prevent air leakage after the upper and lower pipes are connected. Similarly, the exhaust pipe 4 is also divided into an upper pipe and a lower pipe, and the upper and lower pipes are also connected by a flange 6.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the spring 71 in the intake pipe 3 is fixed in the upper tube, and the lower end is fixed to the blocking ball 72. The lower tube is provided with a suction nozzle 31, which transitions upward and is connected to an inwardly-retracted portion 32 directed downward, and the inwardly-retracted portion 32 abuts against the blocking ball 72.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the spring 71 in the exhaust pipe 4 has its lower end fixed in the lower tube, and its upper end fixed to the blocking ball 72. The lower tube is provided with an air outlet 41, and the air outlet 41 is located below the spring 71. The upper tube is provided with a downwardly directed outward expansion portion 42, and the outward expansion portion 42 abuts against the blocking ball 72.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sphere 1 is squeezed first, and the air in the sphere 1 enters the exhaust pipe 4. The airflow drives the blocking ball 72 in the exhaust pipe 4 to move downward, and a gap is generated between the blocking ball 72 and the outward expansion portion 42. The air is discharged outward from the gap. Then the suction nozzle 31 of the air inlet pipe 3 is placed in the pipette, and the sphere 1 is released. The sphere 1 recovers its deformation, the pressure in the sphere 1 decreases, and the liquid enters the pipette under the action of atmospheric pressure. At this time, air enters the air inlet pipe 3, and the airflow drives the blocking ball 72 in the air inlet pipe 3 to move upward, so that there is a gap between the blocking ball 72 and the inward expansion portion 32. The air passes through the gap and enters the sphere 1 through the air inlet pipe 3.

[0032] During use, when more liquid needs to be transferred, the experimenter squeezes and releases the ball 1 alternately, so that the airflow moves unidirectionally with the trajectory of the air inlet pipe 3 → ball 1 → exhaust pipe 4, and so on. The liquid level in the pipette continues to rise until it rises to the height required by the experimenter. There is no need to move the ear cleaning bulb away from the pipette multiple times. It is only necessary to repeatedly squeeze and release the ball 1 to make the pipette continuously absorb the experimental liquid, thereby improving the experimenter's pipetting efficiency.

[0033] It is understandable that the upper tube of the intake pipe 3 and the upper tube of the exhaust pipe 4 are both fixedly mounted with a support ring 8, and the support ring 8 is fixedly mounted with a sealing gasket 9, which can improve the air tightness of the intake pipe 3 and the exhaust pipe 4 after assembly.

[0034] Working principle: first squeeze the sphere 1, the air in the sphere 1 enters the exhaust pipe 4, and the airflow drives the blocking ball 72 in the exhaust pipe 4 to move downward, creating a gap between the blocking ball 72 and the outward expansion portion 42, and the air is discharged outward from the gap, then place the suction nozzle 31 of the air inlet pipe 3 in the pipette, release the sphere 1, the sphere 1 recovers its deformation, the pressure in the sphere 1 decreases, and the liquid enters the pipette under the action of atmospheric pressure. At this time, air enters the air inlet pipe 3, and the airflow drives the blocking ball 72 in the air inlet pipe 3 to move upward, so that there is a gap between the blocking ball 72 and the inward expansion portion 32, and the air passes through the gap and enters the sphere 1 through the air inlet pipe 3. The experimenter squeezes and releases the sphere 1 alternately, and the liquid level in the pipette continues to rise until it rises to the height required by the experimenter.

[0035] In summary, although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
