DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but they are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment: An electric otoscope for otolaryngology, the structure is shown in Figure 1-5, including an electric otoscope body 1. The electric otoscope body used in the utility model is composed of a handle and an elongated tubular part, and the material is made of high-strength medical plastic or metal. The electric otoscope is used to magnify and illuminate the structure inside the ear, so that the doctor can observe the condition of the ear canal, eardrum and middle ear more clearly. The electric otoscope is also often used to assist the doctor in fine operations. The electric otoscope body 1 is equipped with an observation mirror 2. The lens part is made of polycarbonate. The tubular part at the front end of the observation mirror 2 is relatively elongated to facilitate insertion into the ear for inspection. One side of the electric otoscope body 1 is a circular boss 4 with an annular groove 3. The front shell 5 is matched with the annular groove 3 on the circular boss 4 by a buckle 15, so that the front shell 5 is fixed to the electric otoscope body 1; a first through hole is provided in the center of one side of the front shell 5, a first mounting hole 6 is provided below the first through hole, and a second mounting hole 7 is provided above the first through hole. The second mounting hole 7 is detachably connected with The ear spoon mechanism 11 includes a threaded platform 16, and the threaded platform 16 is an iron device. An ear spoon body 17 is provided on the threaded platform 16, and the threaded platform 16 is threadedly connected to the second mounting hole 7; a second through hole is provided at the center of the circular boss 4, and a third through hole is provided below the second through hole. The observation mirror 2 passes through the first through hole and the second through hole. The polyvinyl chloride hose 8 connected to the water inlet 9 on the electric otoscope body 1 passes through the third through hole and is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 6 of the front shell 5. The hose 8 can provide a way to flush the ear canal and suck out impurities.

[0022] Preferably, a strong magnetic rotating block 18 is threadedly rotatably connected to the second mounting hole 7, and a strong magnetic rotating block 18 is provided with a strong magnet. The strong magnetic rotating block 18 is welded to the ear spoon body 17, so that the ear spoon body 17 can be rotated and adjusted quickly and conveniently, and the rotating block 18 can be firmly adsorbed on the threaded platform 16.

[0023] Preferably, one side of the ear spoon body 17 has a handle 13 extending outward. Usually, the ear spoon does not have a handle 13, which is inconvenient when rotating. Therefore, a handle 13 is provided in the utility model, and the user can rotate the angle of the ear spoon body 17 by holding the handle 13.

[0024] Preferably, a water outlet pipe 10 is also threadedly connected to the other side of the first mounting hole 6. The water outlet hole 12 in the water outlet pipe 10 adopts an inclined design. When flushing the ear canal, earwax or other impurities can be flushed outward to avoid blocking the external auditory canal inward. The water bag or the air bag can be connected to the water inlet 9 to achieve the function of air blowing or flushing. The water bag is made of polyvinyl chloride and is connected to the water inlet 9 for flushing the ear canal; the air bag is made of rubber for sucking out impurities.

[0025] Preferably, to ensure sealing, a sealing ring 14 is provided in the first mounting hole 6 .

[0026] How it works

[0027] When the utility model is in use, the observation mirror 2 can be placed in the patient's external auditory canal. When there is no earwax or other impurities in the patient's external auditory canal, the condition in the external auditory canal can be directly observed. When earwax or other impurities are present in the patient's external auditory canal, the user can use the ear spoon mechanism 11 or the water outlet pipe 10 to remove the earwax and other impurities. When using the ear spoon, it is only necessary to screw the ear spoon threaded platform 16 into the second mounting hole 7. The angle of the ear spoon body 17 can be adjusted by the strong magnetic rotation block 18 as needed. The ear spoon body 17 can enter the external auditory canal together with the observation mirror 2. When earwax or other impurities are present, It can be cleaned with an ear spoon. When using the water outlet pipe 10, it is only necessary to tighten the thread on one side of the water outlet pipe 10 into the first mounting hole 6. After the fixation is completed, the hose 8 of the air bag is connected to the water inlet 9. If foreign objects need to be blown away during use, it is only necessary to press the air bag. Similarly, in addition to being able to achieve air blowing, the utility model can also achieve flushing of the external auditory canal through an external water bag. Users can choose to use an ear spoon or a water outlet pipe 10 according to the specific situation, which makes the operation more flexible and convenient, and the user can easily assemble the equipment as needed, and achieve cleaning and flushing through simple operations.
