[0031] The fixing block 10 can also use a bearing to fix the connecting pipe 7 on the inner ring of the bearing. When in use, it can be rotated and can also be swung at multiple angles through the sealing membrane 11.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 As shown, the earmuff 1 and the sealing membrane 11 are made of transparent elastic material, which makes it easy to observe the internal conditions of the ear and thus facilitate better cleaning;

[0034] The earmuff 1 can be made of transparent silicone or thermoplastic elastomer; the sealing film 11 can be made of plastic film, thermoplastic polyurethane film or polydimethylsiloxane film.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a limiting block 2 and a sealing strip 12. The limiting block 2 and the sealing strip 12 form an elliptical structure, which is used to hang the earmuff 1 on the ear canal while preventing leakage. The earmuff 1 is conveniently hung on the ear canal for fixing through the limiting block 2, and then the gap between the earmuff 1 and the face is blocked by the sealing strip 12 on the other side of the ear canal, thereby preventing the leakage of washed garbage and water during the cleaning process.

[0037] The limit block 2 and the sealing strip 12 can also be an integral whole, and the overall structure thereof is an annular structure, and is made of rubber or silicone, so as to be convenient for hanging on the auricle and fitting with the head and face at the same time, thereby activating the sealing and blocking effect.

[0038] Example 5

[0039] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a number of evenly distributed brushes 3, which are vertically fixed to the outer wall of the connecting tube 7, and the outer end of the connecting tube 7 is connected to a water injection pipe 8. The connecting tube 7 in the area of ​​the brush 3 is provided with a number of water-permeable holes to facilitate better cleaning of the external auditory canal and achieve better cleaning effect;

[0040] A silica gel film is provided in the water permeable hole, and a cross opening is provided at the center of the silica gel film to facilitate water permeation while preventing garbage from entering the connecting pipe 7.

[0041] Example 6

[0042] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 4 As shown, the brush 3 is a sponge brush, and the water permeable hole is located at the bottom of the brush 3, which is convenient for injecting water into the connecting tube 7 through the water injection pipe 8, so that the external auditory canal can be better brushed by the brush 3, making the cleaning effect better and more comfortable.

[0043] Example 7

[0044] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer end of the connecting tube 7 is provided with an annular groove along the length direction, and the annular groove is connected to the water permeable hole. The earplug 4 is provided with a slot for inserting the connecting tube 7, and the diameter of the connecting tube 7 is smaller than the diameter of the slot. A connecting rope 6 is fixed to the bottom of the slot, and the movable end of the connecting rope 6 is independently installed in the connecting tube 7, so that the earplug 4 can be inserted into the external auditory canal through the connecting tube 7, and then the connecting tube 7 can be taken out of the slot and rotated at multiple angles to brush the external auditory canal through the brush 3, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0045] Example 8

[0046] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a third through hole is provided at the bottom of the earmuff 1, which is connected to the upper and lower parts, and a drainage pipe 5 is connected to the third through hole, so as to quickly discharge the garbage and sewage after cleaning the external auditory canal. When in use, in order to quickly discharge, the ear needs to be tilted to avoid the accumulation of garbage and sewage in the ear.

[0047] The working principle is as follows: first, it is hung on the auricle of the ear through the limit block 2, and is sealed with the face through the sealing strip 12. Then, the earplug 4 is plugged into the deep of the outer ear to block it by rotating the connecting tube 7, and then the connecting tube 7 is pulled out from the slot. Then, the brush 3 is driven to brush the external auditory canal by rotating the connecting tube 7 or swinging it at multiple angles. During the brushing process, water is injected into the annular groove through the water injection pipe 8, and the brush 3 is soaked with the injected water. The garbage and sewage brushed out are scraped out into the earmuff 1 by the brush 3 and discharged through the drain pipe 5. During the discharge process, the ear is tilted to speed up the discharge. After cleaning is completed, the connecting rope 6 is pulled to remove the earplug 4 from the external auditory canal. In the process of removing the earplug 4, the water stains and garbage remaining in the external auditory canal can also be taken out.
