Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ear cleaners, and particularly relates to an anti-blocking visual ear cleaner. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the continuous progress of technology, the ear cleaner market has also witnessed an innovation. In particular, the emergence of visual ear cleaners has provided users with a more intuitive and safe cleaning experience. However, even in such a high-tech context, ear cleaners still face a common problem: during use, dirt such as earwax is easily sucked into the suction port channel and even further penetrates into the internal pump body. This problem not only directly affects the working efficiency of the device, reduces its service life, but may also trigger a series of chain reactions, such as channel blockage, pump body damage, etc., ultimately leading to the failure of the product function or even complete scrapping.

[0003] Specifically, when dirt enters the suction port channel, due to the relatively narrow design of the channel, it is very easy to form a blockage, affecting the normal passage of air flow and thus reducing the suction intensity. In addition, if dirt accidentally enters the internal pump body, it may rub against the precision components in the pump body, resulting in increased wear and shortening the life of the pump body. More seriously, some dirt contains moisture or grease. Once it enters the pump body, it may cause a short circuit or corrosion of the circuit, causing irreversible damage. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] Technical Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the technical problem that dirt is easily sucked into the suction port channel during the use of the existing visual ear cleaner, causing blockage and affecting the use and service life, the utility model provides an anti-blocking visual ear cleaner, which can avoid blockage and extend the service life of the ear cleaner.

[0006] Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0008] An anti-blocking visual ear cleaner, comprising a holding part; an ear cleaning part fixedly connected to the holding part, the ear cleaning part including a cover and a fixing frame, the cover covering outside the fixing frame, the fixing frame fixedly connected to the holding part, the fixing frame being provided with a camera column and a suction column connected with a negative pressure mechanism, the cover being provided with a suction port for shooting and suction, the suction column being provided with a suction opening, and a shielding piece for blocking being arranged between the suction opening and the suction port, the shielding piece being suspended between it and the suction column.

[0009] Ear suction part structure, which consists of a holding part, a cover, a fixing frame, a camera column and a suction column. Each component works together to achieve an efficient ear canal cleaning effect. First of all, the design of the holding part ensures that the user can hold the ear suction device firmly and comfortably, facilitating precise operation. The cover of the ear suction part fits tightly with the fixing frame to form a protective barrier, preventing external impurities from directly contacting the internal components and reducing the risk of blockage. The camera column and the suction column on the fixing frame respectively undertake the core functions of visual assistance and negative pressure suction. The camera column is equipped with a micro camera inside, which can transmit the internal situation of the ear canal to the user in real time to ensure the safety and accuracy of the cleaning process; while the suction column is connected to the negative pressure mechanism to generate sufficient suction to effectively remove earwax. The most crucial is the design of the baffle between the suction column and the suction port, which is the core of the anti-blocking mechanism. The baffle is suspended from the suction column, which neither affects the exertion of suction nor can effectively block larger particles of earwax or other foreign objects from directly entering the suction column, thus avoiding the problem of channel blockage and greatly extending the service life of the ear suction device.

[0010] Optionally, the cover and the fixing frame are sealed and connected. A sealing ring is provided on the outer peripheral side of the fixing frame, and the sealing ring fits tightly with the cover.

[0011] Prevent air leakage and ensure the suction effect: One of the functions of the sealing ring is to ensure that there is no air leakage at the connection between the cover and the fixing frame, which is crucial for maintaining the negative pressure suction of the ear suction device. Only in a completely sealed state can the suction column generate stable and strong suction to effectively remove earwax and other foreign objects in the ear canal.

[0012] Optionally, the suction column is provided with a non-planar suction port.

[0013] The suction column being provided with a non-planar suction port is an innovative and practical feature, aiming to solve the common blockage problems of traditional ear suction devices and optimize the cleaning effect. The non-planar suction port design usually means that the shape of the suction port is not limited to a simple upper-plane circle or straight line, but adopts a more complex and three-dimensional geometric form, such as inclined (as shown in the figure), grooved, spiral, porous distribution, etc.

[0014] Reduce the risk of blockage: Since the suction port is the outlet of the suction column and has a certain height, the non-planar suction port can ensure that air flows in from the non-planar suction port when the baffle sinks and directly covers the planar suction port, ensuring smooth suction and avoiding the possibility of inhaled substances entering the suction port channel, thus greatly reducing the possibility of blocking the suction channel.

[0015] Enhanced suction uniformity: By adjusting the shape and distribution of the suction ports, the suction force can be more evenly distributed outside the suction column, avoiding situations of overly strong or weak local suction, ruling out the possibility of blockage caused by foreign object inhalation, and thus improving the cleaning efficiency and safety.

[0016] Optionally, the shielding piece includes a through-hole, a filter screen, and a shielding portion. The through-hole is fixedly penetrated in cooperation with the camera column, and the shielding portion blocks the straight-line path between the suction port and the suction opening.

[0017] Through-hole: The through-hole is fixedly penetrated in cooperation with the camera column to ensure that the camera column can accurately penetrate the shielding piece and maintain its correct position in the ear suction device.

[0018] Filter screen: The filter screen is provided to establish a barrier between the shielding piece and the suction column that allows air flow while blocking larger particulate foreign objects. The filter screen usually adopts a fine grid or microporous structure, which can effectively intercept large foreign objects such as earwax while ensuring that the suction force is not significantly affected, preventing them from directly entering the interior of the suction column and greatly reducing the risk of blockage.

[0019] Shielding portion: The shielding portion is located on the straight-line path between the suction port and the suction opening. Its main function is to physically block foreign objects from directly impacting the suction port, changing the movement trajectory of the foreign objects and making it difficult for them to directly enter the interior of the suction column. The design of the shielding portion usually takes into account the principles of fluid mechanics and may also have a structure with a certain arc or inclination angle, which can effectively guide the air flow and avoid

[0020] the occurrence of blockage.

[0021] Optionally, a short support frame is sleeved outside the camera column. The support frame and the camera column form a step, and the through-hole is axially limited in cooperation with the step to further stabilize the shielding piece and avoid the shielding piece shifting to cause blockage and affect the shielding effect.

[0022] Optionally, an earpick is connected outside the suction opening.

[0023] Enhanced cleaning effect: The tip design of the earpick can reach the corners of the ear canal that are difficult for the ear suction device to reach. For stubborn earwax or foreign objects adhering to the ear wall, the earpick can clean them by physical scraping. Combined with the suction force, it can clean the ear canal more thoroughly and improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0024] Adapting to different cleaning needs: The equipped earpick enables the ear suction device to meet diverse cleaning needs. For cases where the earwax is relatively dry or hardened, relying solely on suction may not be able to completely remove it. At this time, using the earpick to loosen or scrape first and then supplemented by suction can achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0025] Optionally, a hose connection end is provided outside the suction port, and the hose connection end is provided with an annular step for connection.

[0026] Enhanced applicability and compatibility: The design of the hose connection allows users to connect different types of hoses or accessories, such as extension tubes and nozzles of different shapes, as needed. This greatly expands the use scenarios of the ear aspirator and meets the specific cleaning needs of different users. The setting of the annular step ensures that the hose connection is secure, avoiding the inconvenience caused by loosening or falling off during use. The combination of the annular step and the hose or accessory forms an effective sealing structure, preventing air leakage during the cleaning process, ensuring stable and efficient suction, and can be used to absorb water and pus.

[0027] Optionally, the side of the cover features an inwardly curved structure that mates closely with the shielding sheet, forming a sealed, isolated chamber. This effectively prevents uncontrolled ingress of outside air into the ear cleaner, ensuring the closed nature of the suction system. This seal is crucial for preventing dust and foreign matter from entering the device, contaminating and clogging internal components.

[0028] Optionally, the cover is transparent.

[0029] Visual Monitoring: The transparent cover allows users to directly observe the ear canal cleaning process, including earwax accumulation, suction status, and cleaning results. This is important for ensuring thorough cleaning and avoiding over-cleaning or missed areas. Users can intuitively see the immediate effect of suction and self-identify any operational issues.

[0030] Enhanced cleaning confidence: Being able to see the earwax being successfully removed with one's own eyes is an instant feedback for users, which increases their trust in the effectiveness of the device. It also makes the cleaning process more participatory and fulfilling, and increases users' attention to personal care.

[0031] Easy to maintain and clean: The transparent cover makes it easy for users to check whether there is excessive earwax or foreign matter accumulated inside the device, making it convenient to clean it in time.

[0032] Beneficial effects

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0034] The technical solution provided by the present utility model sets a shielding piece between the air suction column and the suction port, which is the core of the anti-blocking mechanism. The shielding piece is suspended from the air suction column, which neither affects the exertion of suction force nor can effectively block larger particulate earwax or other foreign objects from directly entering the air suction column, thus avoiding the problem of channel blockage and greatly extending the service life of the ear suction device. In addition, the design of the non-planar suction port is an effective method to effectively solve the problem of maintaining suction force when the shielding piece sinks to close the planar suction port and can effectively block foreign objects from being inhaled into the suction port channel.

[0039] To further understand the content of the present utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail in combination with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0040] Embodiment

[0041] Combined with the attached Figure 1, A clog - proof visual ear cleaner, which includes a holding part 1 and an ear suction part 2. The arc shape of the holding part 1 is based on in - depth consideration of ergonomics and user experience. The arc - shaped holding part 1 follows the natural curve of the hand, and can be well adapted regardless of the palm size or the holding posture. This design reduces the pressure and fatigue of the hand during long - term use. Even in the case of single - hand operation, it can ensure the stable grip of the device and avoid slipping. The arc - shaped holding part 1 provides multiple contact points, increasing the friction between the hand and the device. Even in the case of being wet or sweating, it can maintain good holding stability. This is particularly important for performing delicate operations such as ear canal cleaning, ensuring the accuracy and safety of the cleaning process. The design of the arc - shaped holding part 1 reduces the edges and gaps, reducing the possibility of dirt accumulation, making the device surface easier to clean, reducing the chance of bacterial growth, and maintaining the hygiene of the device. Inside the shell of the holding part 1, there are a power source, a suction pump body (i.e., a negative pressure mechanism), a control board, and a charging circuit. There is a switch on the shell to control the operation of the ear cleaner. There is also a WiFi module inside the shell, which can be connected to a mobile phone to display images.

[0042] Combined with the attached Figure 2 , The ear suction part 2 is fixedly connected to the holding part 1. The ear suction part 2 includes a cover 3 and a fixing frame 5. The fixing frame 5 is cylindrical, and the cover 3 is a combination of a cone and a tube. The suction port is at the tip of the cone. The tubular part of the cover 3 covers the outside of the fixing frame 5, and the fixing frame 5 is fixedly connected to the holding part 1.

[0043] On the fixing frame 5, there is a camera column 7 and an air - suction column 8 connected to a negative pressure mechanism. A shorter support frame 11 is sleeved outside the camera column 7. The support frame 11 and the camera column 7 form a step, and the through - hole 901 cooperates with the step for axial limit.

[0044] The cover 3 is provided with a suction port for shooting and suction. The air - suction column 8 is provided with an air - suction opening. Between the air - suction opening and the suction port, there is a blocking piece 9 for blocking. The blocking piece 9 is suspended between the air - suction column 8. The blocking piece 9 divides the inside of the cover 3 into two chambers. The upper chamber communicates with the outside, and the lower chamber is provided with the air - suction column 8 to form a negative - pressure chamber for ear suction. Large earwax is blocked by the blocking piece 9 in the upper chamber.

[0045] The cover 3 and the fixing frame 5 are sealed and connected. There is a sealing ring 6 on the outer peripheral side of the fixing frame 5, and the sealing ring 6 fits tightly with the cover 3. There is a ring groove on the peripheral side of the fixing frame 5 for installing the sealing ring 6 to prevent the sealing ring 6 from shifting.

[0046] The suction column 8 is provided with a non-planar suction port. The suction port can be an inclined surface port or a laterally penetrating port. When the shielding piece 9 sinks and closes to cover the planar suction port, it can still ensure that the non-planar suction port normally generates negative pressure suction to the outside.

[0047] Combined with the attached Figure 3 As shown, the shielding piece 9 includes a through hole 901, a filter screen 902 and a shielding portion 903. The through hole 901 is fixedly penetrated and matched with the camera column 7. The shielding portion 903 blocks the straight-line path between the suction port and the suction opening. The existence of the filter screen 902 is to establish a barrier between the shielding piece 9 and the suction column 8 that can both allow air flow to pass through and block larger particulate foreign matters. The filter screen 902 usually adopts a fine grid or microporous structure, which can effectively intercept large foreign matters such as earwax while ensuring that the suction is not significantly affected, preventing them from directly entering the inside of the suction column 8 and greatly reducing the risk of blockage.

[0048] An earpick 4 is connected to the outside of the suction opening, adhesively or snap-connected to the outside of the suction opening, and can suck while picking the ear.

[0049] A hose connection end 10 is provided outside the suction opening. The hose connection end 10 is provided with an annular step for connection, which is convenient for sucking relevant liquids in the ear.

[0050] The side surface of the cover 3 is provided with an inner arc structure 301, and the inner arc structure 301 is closely attached to the shielding piece 9. The fitting of the inner arc structure 301 and the shielding piece 9 forms a sealed chamber, effectively preventing external dirt from entering the ear suction device uncontrollably and ensuring the sealing of the suction system.

[0051] The cover 3 is transparent and made of high-strength plastic, which is not easy to break, and can also directly observe the process of ear canal cleaning, including the accumulation, suction and cleaning effect of earwax.

[0052] The above schematically describes the present invention and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive. What is shown in the drawings is only one of the implementation manners of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design similar structural manners and embodiments without creative work without departing from the creative concept of the present invention, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
