Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to medical devices, and in particular to an external auditory canal irrigator for ears, nose and throat. Background Art

[0002] External auditory canal irrigation refers to the use of warm saline to flush out the soft and broken earwax, tiny foreign bodies or softened earwax plugs that are difficult to remove from the deep part of the external auditory canal. The required supplies include ear irrigator, warm saline, cotton swabs, etc. External auditory canal irrigation is a commonly used treatment method in ear clinics. It is mainly used to treat external auditory canal earwax plugs. Large lumps appear in the external auditory canal, affecting hearing, irritating the external auditory canal wall to cause external otitis. It is obviously painful after touching and cannot be removed. The most commonly used treatment method is to soak the earwax in the external auditory canal repeatedly with 5% sodium bicarbonate, once for 15 minutes, once every hour, and soak it repeatedly for three days. The earwax in the external auditory canal is soaked into a mud-like state, and then the earwax in the external auditory canal is rinsed with saline to clean it once and for all.

[0003] The utility model patent with publication number CN216985388U discloses an external auditory canal irrigator for otolaryngology care, including a collection trough and a syringe for collecting earwax and physiological saline. A fixing plate is vertically arranged on the right side of the top of the collection trough, and a through hole communicating with the left and right is opened on the fixing plate. The liquid outlet end of the syringe passes through the through hole, and a limit block is sleeved on the syringe barrel to prevent the syringe from going too deep. A fixing component for fixing the collection trough on the ear is vertically arranged on the left side of the top of the collection trough.

[0004] The prior art has a simple structure and is easy to operate. The setting of the fixing component is convenient for fixing the collection tank under the ear, and it is comfortable to wear so as to collect the used physiological saline and the cleaned earwax. However, the following problems still exist:

One end of the telescopic vertical rod 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and one end is fixedly connected to the telescopic horizontal rod 3. The collection box 7 is rotatably installed on the telescopic horizontal rod 3. A diversion plate 701 is provided on the collection box 7. By adjusting the telescopic adjustment of the telescopic vertical rod 2 and the telescopic horizontal rod 3 of the adjustment bracket, the collection box 7 can be adjusted below the ear, so that the diversion plate 701 of the collection box 7 is attached to the lower part of the ear, and the liquid flowing out during the irrigation of the external auditory canal can be well collected. A collection bottle 4 is arranged on the base 1, and the collection box 7 is connected to the collection bottle 4 through a conduit, and the liquid collected in the collection box 7 can be transported to the collection bottle 4.

[0030] Embodiment 2:

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , according to Embodiment 1, the collection box 7 is movably connected to the irrigation device 8 by providing a telescopic plate 702. The irrigation device 8 includes a fixed cylinder 801, a cleaning rod 803 and an irrigation cylinder 802 connected to the infusion pump 6. The fixed cylinder 801 is movably connected to the telescopic plate 702 by providing a ball head 8011. A groove matching the ball head 8011 of the fixed cylinder 801 is provided on the telescopic plate 702, and a bolt is provided on the telescopic plate 702 to limit the movement of the fixed cylinder 801, that is, the bolt is threadedly connected to the telescopic plate 702 and passes through the groove matching the ball head 8011. By tightening the bolt, the bolt contacts the ball head 8011 to generate frictional force, restricting the movement of the ball head 8011, thereby restricting the movement of the fixed cylinder 801;

[0032] The irrigation cylinder 802 is movably installed in the fixed cylinder 801, that is, the irrigation cylinder 802 can slide and rotate in the fixed cylinder 801, and the movement of the irrigation cylinder 802 is restricted by providing a bolt on the fixed cylinder 801. The front end of the irrigation cylinder 802 is provided with an elongated tubular irrigation head 8021, and the rear end is provided with an infusion pipeline 8022. The infusion pipeline 8022 is connected to the infusion pump 6 through a conduit. A flushing box 5 is installed on the telescopic vertical rod 2, and the infusion pump 6 is installed on the flushing box 5. The infusion pump 6 transports the flushing liquid into the irrigation cylinder 802 of the irrigation device 8. The infusion pump 6 is a prior art;

[0033] In this embodiment, a telescopic plate 702 is arranged on the collection box 7 and is movably connected to the flushing device 8, so that the distance between the flushing device 8 and the collection box 7 can be adjusted to adapt to patients of different body types, facilitating the flushing of the external auditory canal.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , according to Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, a cleaning rod 803 is movably arranged inside the barrel wall of the flushing cylinder 802. A cleaning head 8031 is detachably installed at the front end of the cleaning rod 803, that is, the cleaning head 8031 and the cleaning rod 803 can be threadedly connected. A handle 8032 is arranged at the rear end of the cleaning rod 803. The front end of the cleaning rod 803 extends out of the flushing cylinder 802 and is close to the flushing head 8021 of the flushing cylinder 802, reducing the volume and facilitating the cleaning rod 803 to follow the flushing head 8021 into the external auditory canal;

[0036] In this embodiment, the front end of the cleaning head 8031 is an arc-shaped scraping rod that fits the flushing head 8021. By rotating and pulling the cleaning rod 803 with the handle 8032, the arc-shaped scraping rod at the front end of the cleaning head 8031 can be controlled to scrape off foreign objects in the external auditory canal, cooperating with the flushing head 8021 for flushing, and improving the efficiency of flushing the external auditory canal;

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, another structure of the cleaning head 8031 is that the cleaning head 8031 is a test tube brush structure and can brush the external auditory canal.

[0038] The preferred embodiments of the present utility model disclosed above are only used to help illustrate the present utility model. The preferred embodiments do not elaborate on all details and do not limit the present utility model to the specific embodiments described. Obviously, many modifications and changes can be made according to the content of this specification.
