Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0035] Please also read Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the ear phototherapy device provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The ear phototherapy device comprises an ear hook 1, a connector 2 and a light emitting component 23. The ear hook 1 is used to hang the ear phototherapy device on the ear of the user. The connector 2 is connected to the ear hook 1. The light emitting component 23 is used to treat ear inflammation when the connector 2 is inserted into the ear of the user. The light emitting component 23 is installed on the connector 2.

[0036] When in use, the ear phototherapy device is worn on the ear via the ear hook 1, the connector 2 is inserted into the ear, and the light-emitting element 23 emits light, thereby achieving a phototherapy effect on the user's ear.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the ear phototherapy device provided by the present application adopts an ear hook 1 structure to replace the existing head-mounted structure for wearing, which greatly reduces the overall size and is easy to carry. In addition, due to the use of the ear hook 1 structure, the ear phototherapy device of the embodiment of the present application can be used individually or in pairs. When used individually, one ear can be treated separately; when used in pairs, both ears can be treated, which greatly improves the flexibility of use.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4 The ear hook 1 is provided with a rotating shaft 10, and the connector 2 is provided with a rotating hole 20, and the rotating shaft 10 is inserted into the rotating hole 20. The connector 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 10 through the rotating hole 20 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 10.

[0039] The ear hook 1 and the connector 2 can be rotated by the rotational cooperation between the rotation shaft 10 and the rotation hole 20. The direction of the connector 2 can be rotated to adjust the direction of the connector 2, so that it can be adapted to be worn on the left or right ear. Therefore, the ear phototherapy device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be flexibly used for wearing on the left or right ear, and a single ear phototherapy device can achieve treatment of the left and right ears respectively, with high flexibility in use.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present application, the rotating shaft 10 is a damping rotating shaft.

[0041] The use of a damping rotating shaft can provide a damping force during the rotation of the connector 2 relative to the ear hook 1. Under the action of external force, the rotating shaft 10 rotates. When the external force is removed, the rotation position of the rotating shaft 10 remains stable, thereby fixing the rotation angle of the connector 2 relative to the ear hook 1.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the inner wall of the rotating hole 20 is interference fit with the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10 .

[0043] By utilizing the interference fit between the inner wall of the rotating hole 20 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10, the ear hook 1 and the connecting head 2 can be assembled. At the same time, during the rotation of the connecting head 2 relative to the ear hook 1, the friction generated between the inner wall of the rotating hole 20 and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10 can play a damping role.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 The rotating shaft 10 includes a shaft portion 100 and a claw 101 , the shaft portion 100 connects the ear hook 1 and the claw 101 , and a first limiting step 200 for the claw 101 to cooperate and clamp is provided inside the rotating hole 20 .

[0045] During the process of inserting the rotating shaft 10 into the rotating hole 20, the claw 101 can undergo elastic deformation relative to the inner wall of the rotating hole 20, so that it can be inserted into the rotating hole 20. After the claw 101 is in place, it is clamped into the first limiting step 200 in the rotating hole 20, which limits the claw 101 and restricts the rotating shaft 10 from being pulled out of the rotating hole 20 to a certain extent.

[0046] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5, an avoidance groove 201 is provided inside the rotating hole 20, and the avoidance groove 201 is opened from the inner wall of the rotating hole 20 to the outer circumference, and a first limiting step 200 is formed between the avoidance groove 201 and the rotating hole 20. A limiting flange 1011 is provided on the circumferential side of the clamping claw 101, and the limiting flange 1011 of the clamping claw 101 is formed by extending the circumferential side of the clamping claw 101 to the outer circumference. It can be understood that the rotating hole 20 is adapted to the clamping claw 101, and the avoidance groove 201 is adapted to the limiting flange 1011. In the process of inserting the rotating shaft 10 into the rotating hole 20, the limiting flange 1011 is squeezed by the inner wall of the rotating hole 20. When the limiting flange 1011 reaches the position corresponding to the avoidance groove 201, the limiting flange 1011 is clamped into the avoidance groove 201, so that the clamping claw 101 is restricted in the rotating hole 20.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 5 A second limiting step 102 is formed at the connection between the shaft 100 and the claw 101. When the rotating shaft 10 is inserted into the rotating hole 20 and the rotating shaft 10 is in place, the second limiting step 102 abuts against the notch of the rotating hole 20, thereby avoiding further squeezing of the claw 101 of the rotating shaft 10.

[0048] Specifically, the outer diameter of the end of the shaft portion 100 close to the claw 101 is larger than the outer diameter of the end of the claw 101 close to the shaft portion 100 , thereby forming a second limiting step 102 at the connection between the shaft portion 100 and the claw 101 .

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 3 The number of the claws 101 is multiple, and the multiple claws 101 are arranged around the axis of the shaft portion 100. In the process of the rotating shaft 10 being inserted into the rotating hole 20, elastic deformation can be better achieved to facilitate the insertion into the rotating hole 20.

[0050] Optionally, the number of the claws 101 may be two, three, four or more. The plurality of claws 101 are arranged around the axis of the shaft portion 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the claws 101 is two, and the two claws 101 are symmetrically distributed.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, the connector 2 may be a plastic part, a silicone part, a rubber part or a metal part.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figures 4 to 5 The end of the claw 101 away from the shaft portion 100 has a chamfer 1010, and the outer diameter of the chamfer 1010 gradually decreases from the end close to the shaft portion 100 to the end away from the shaft portion 100.

[0053] During the process of inserting the rotating shaft 10 into the rotating hole 20 , the chamfer 1010 can facilitate the rotating shaft 10 to be smoothly inserted into the rotating hole 20 .

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the angle of the rotation range of the connector 2 relative to the ear hook 1 is 270°.

[0055] The maximum rotation angle between the connector 2 and the ear hook 1 is 270°, which can provide a large rotation range. Not only can the connector 2 be rotated 180° to a symmetrical position to facilitate compatibility with left and right ears, but it can also be adjusted to different angles according to actual needs, which is conducive to reducing costs.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 7 , a protrusion 202 is provided in the rotating hole 20, a notch 103 is provided on the rotating shaft 10 to cooperate with the protrusion 202 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 10, and the protrusion 202 extends into the notch 103. In other embodiments, it can also be configured as follows: a protrusion 202 is provided on the rotating shaft 10, a notch 103 is provided in the rotating hole 20 to cooperate with the protrusion 202 to limit the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 10, and the protrusion 202 extends into the notch 103. When the connector 2 is rotated, the rotating shaft 10 rotates in the rotating hole 20, and when the protrusion 202 is rotated to the position corresponding to the notch 103, the protrusion 202 is stuck in the notch 103, thereby limiting the rotation of the rotating shaft 10, and further limiting the rotation of the connector 2.

[0057] In some other embodiments, it can also be configured as follows: the limiting structure includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block, the first limiting block is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 10. The second limiting block is arranged on the inner groove wall of the rotating hole 20, and when the rotating shaft 10 rotates in the rotating hole 20, the second limiting block can abut against the first limiting block. At the starting position of the rotation, one pair of side edges of the first limiting block and the second limiting block abut against each other, and when the connector 2 rotates to the end position relative to the ear hook 1, the other pair of side edges of the first limiting block and the second limiting block abut against each other.

[0058] Specifically, the first limit block is an arc block arranged around the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 10, and the second limit block is an arc block arranged along the inner groove wall of the rotating hole 20. The corresponding angles of the two arc blocks can be set according to the rotation angle range. For example, when the angle of the rotation range of the connector 2 relative to the ear hook 1 is set to 270°, the added angle of the two arc blocks is 30°.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The connector 2 is provided with a protective cover 25, which is a flexible member. The protective cover 25 is arranged around the light emitting member 23, and the light emitted by the light emitting member 23 is emitted from the middle of the protective cover 25. The protective cover 25 protects the light emitting member 23, and the protective cover 25 can keep the connector 2 stably in the ear canal of the user.

[0060] Specifically, the protective cover 25 can be a silicone piece. The shape of the protective cover 25 is the same or similar to the silicone cover of the existing in-ear headphones. Further, the protective cover 25 is a transparent silicone piece to achieve a light-guiding effect.

[0061] The light emitting element 23 is an LED lamp bead, and the number of LED lamp beads can be several, including at least one of a lamp bead emitting infrared light, a lamp bead emitting red light, and a lamp bead emitting blue light. Red light and infrared light can be used to treat otitis media, and blue light can play an anti-inflammatory role.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 , a lens 24 is provided on the connector 2, and the lens 24 is located on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 23. The "light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 23" described here refers to the side where the light-emitting element 23 emits light. The lens 24 is provided on the light-emitting side of the light-emitting element 23, and the lens 24 can disperse the light emitted by the light-emitting element 23 to achieve a better treatment effect.

[0063] Specifically, the connector 2 includes a main body 21 and a connecting part 22 that are connected to each other, and the aforementioned rotating hole 20 is provided on the main body 21. A groove is provided at one end of the connecting part 22 away from the main body 21, and the light-emitting part 23 is installed in the groove. The lens 24 is buckled on the groove mouth and connected to the connecting part 22, so that the lens 24 can be located in front of the light-emitting direction of the light-emitting part 23. An annular groove 210 is provided on the connecting part 22, and the annular groove 210 is opened along the outer circumference of the connecting part 22. A through hole 250 is provided on the protective cover 25, and a sleeve ring 251 is formed on the edge of the through hole 250, which can be buckled into the annular groove 210, so that the protective cover 25 can be sleeved with the connecting part 22. Therefore, by using the through hole 250, the protective cover 25 can be arranged around the light-emitting part 23, and the light emitted by the light-emitting part 23 is emitted through the through hole 250. The light loss caused by the protective cover 25 to the light-emitting part 23 can be reduced, and the light effect can be effectively improved.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The ear hook 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 13, the rotating shaft 10 is provided with a wire hole 104, the wire hole 104 connects the mounting cavity 13 and the connector 2, the mounting cavity 13 is provided with a circuit board 14, the circuit board 14 is connected with a wire, and the wire passes through the wire hole 104 and is connected to the light-emitting element 23. Thus, the light-emitting element 23 is controlled to emit light.

[0065] Specifically, the ear hook 1 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12 . The first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can cover each other and form the installation cavity 13 inside.

[0066] In one embodiment of the present application, see Figure 2 and Figure 8The ear hook 1 is provided with a charging interface 15 for connecting an external electrical connection line, and the charging interface 15 is electrically connected to the circuit board 14.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 A battery 16 is also disposed in the mounting cavity 13 for providing power, and the battery 16 is electrically connected to the circuit board 14 .

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 8 A speaker 17 for indicating whether the light-emitting component 23 is turned on or off is installed in the installation cavity 13. The speaker 17 is electrically connected to the circuit board 14, and the speaker 17 can make a sound for voice reminder. For example, when the user completes the treatment, the speaker 17 reminds the user by voice that the treatment is completed and the ear phototherapy device can be removed. This can avoid the inconvenience of observation caused by the ear phototherapy device being located in the visual blind spot, resulting in the inability to detect the start and stop of the ear phototherapy device in time. In addition, installing the speaker 17 in the installation cavity 13 of the ear hook 1 can avoid occupying the internal space of the connector 2 and provide a good spatial layout for the light-emitting component 23.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present application, a vibrator for indicating whether the light emitting element 23 is turned on or off is installed in the installation cavity 13, and the vibrator is electrically connected to the circuit board 14. In this way, the start and stop of the light emitting element 23 is prompted by vibration, so as to avoid the user's hearing loss and the like causing the user to be unable to determine the working state of the ear light therapy device during use.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application.
