Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly relates to a simple external ear cleaning device for ENT care. Background Art

[0002] The ENT department mainly diagnoses and treats some diseases related to the ear, nose, and throat. Common ear diseases include deafness, tinnitus, otosclerosis, motion sickness, blast-induced deafness, and otitis media, etc. Common nose diseases include nasal furuncle, rosacea nose, rhinoscleroma, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, nasal septum deviation, chronic rhinitis, and allergic rhinitis, etc. Common throat diseases include pharyngeal paresthesia, chronic pharyngitis, acute and chronic pharyngolaryngitis, acute epiglottitis, and tonsillitis, etc.

[0003] The external ear includes the auricle (collecting sound waves) and the external auditory canal (transmitting sound waves to the eardrum), and is one of the high-incidence parts of the human body, mainly various inflammations, with clinical manifestations such as ear itching, ear discomfort, congestion, swelling, and watery secretions, etc. When the inflammation is severe or the secretions block the ear canal, the hearing will be seriously affected. When examining and treating ENT patients, it is often necessary to clean the external ears of the patients. In the prior art, since the external ear cleaning operation requires a certain medical level and experience, and the patient's cooperation is needed; the patient needs to keep the ear on the flushing side downward, and the medical staff uses a syringe to draw the flushing liquid and inject it into the patient's ear canal through a hose for flushing. The flushed waste liquid flows out into the waste liquid tray due to gravity, and after flowing out, it is sucked again and flushed again until it is clean.

[0004] The above flushing operation and flushing device usually have the following deficiencies: 1. The flushed waste liquid cannot be effectively and sufficiently collected, resulting in the flushing liquid polluting the medical environment, wetting the patient's neck, clothes, bed body, etc.; 2. The ear canal cannot be blocked during the flushing process, resulting in the flushing liquid entering the ear canal and causing discomfort to the patient; 3. Cleaning with cotton swabs manually is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a simple external ear cleaning device for ENT care to improve the above deficiencies. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a simple external ear cleaning device for ENT care. The device tightly blocks the ear canal to prevent the flushing liquid from entering; the external auditory canal is cleaned by the rotation of a soft brush in cooperation with the flushing liquid, and the flushed flushing liquid is collected by a liquid collecting groove; the device is stably fixed on the side of the bed and provides functions of adjusting the height and horizontal position.

[0007] In order to achieve the above technical purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

A plurality of first through holes are formed in the tube wall of the plug tube near the end of the plug. A spring is sleeved outside the tube body of the plug tube, and a spring sleeve is sleeved outside the spring. After the plug is pressed, the spring is further compressed, and the elastic force generated after the spring is compressed drives the plug tube to move out of the spring sleeve;

[0010] The spring sleeve is sleeved with a brush tube, and a brush is installed at one end of the brush tube close to the plug. A rotary driving member is fixedly installed outside the spring sleeve, and the rotary driving member drives the brush tube to rotate at the other end of the brush tube;

[0011] The brush tube is sleeved with a flushing cover; one end of the flushing cover is a sleeve and the other end is a cover body; the sleeve is sleeved outside the brush tube, and the cover body covers the brush and the plug; a hollow flushing cavity is formed inside the flushing cover, a liquid inlet is formed in the sleeve, and a plurality of flushing ports are formed in the cover body; liquid flows into the flushing cavity through the liquid inlet and flows out of the flushing cavity through the flushing ports; a liquid receiving cover is fixedly connected to the outside of the cover body, and the liquid receiving cover is a structure that extends downward from the cover body and then bends obliquely upward;

[0012] A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring sleeve away from the plug, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to both the spring sleeve and the sleeve and converges downward; a fastening mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod;

[0013] The fastening mechanism includes a support rod, a U-shaped clamp, a fastening plate, and a lead screw; a slide rail is formed on the U-shaped clamp, and the support rod slides on the U-shaped clamp through the slide rail; a fastening plate is slidably connected inside the U-shaped clamp; a lead screw is rotatably installed below the fastening plate, the lead screw passes through the U-shaped clamp and is in screw connection with the U-shaped clamp, and the rotation of the lead screw drives the fastening plate to slide up and down inside the U-shaped clamp;

[0014] Further, the brush surrounds the tube body of the plug tube;

[0015] Further, a retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the tube body of the plug tube, and the retaining ring restricts the plug tube from coming out of the spring sleeve;

[0016] Furthermore, a gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive member; one end of the brush tube close to the rotary drive member is fixedly connected to a gear ring meshing with the gear; the brush tube is driven by the rotary drive member through the meshing relationship between the gear and the gear ring, and rotates outside the spring sleeve around the axis of the spring sleeve and the plugging tube;

[0017] Furthermore, the flushing ports are arranged in a plurality of arrays along the generatrix direction and the circumferential direction of the cover body;

[0018] Furthermore, the blocking block is a solid structure, and its diameter is larger than the ear canal of the human body through which the blocking tube is blocked;

[0022] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0023] The utility model provides a simple external ear cleaning device for ear, nose and throat care. Compared with the traditional manual operation of using cotton swabs or brushes to clean the external ear, the external ear flushing operation is de-humanized. The operator only needs to install, fix and connect the device to clean the external ear. Specifically, the block blocks the ear canal to prevent the flushing liquid from entering the ear canal and causing discomfort. At the same time, it prevents the flushing liquid from drying and agglomerating the earwax after flushing. After the block and the blocking tube are compressed, they further compress the spring. After the spring is compressed, the elastic force generated by the spring drives the blocking tube and the block to press toward the ear canal opening through the retaining ring to ensure that the ear canal is tightly blocked.

[0024] The brush of the brush tube rotates outside the blocking tube to clean the auricle and remove dirt on the auricle; the blocking tube is connected to the liquid inlet at the same time or is connected to the pump liquid pipeline separately, so that the flushing liquid can be introduced, and the flushing liquid is sprayed toward the auricle through the through hole 1 and the flushing port, and the rotation of the brush further enhances the cleaning effect of flushing the external ear; after the flushing liquid is received by the liquid receiving cover, it is further discharged from the device through the liquid discharge port, avoiding the undesirable situation that the flushing liquid splashes and pollutes the environment.
