[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Example

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a nasal cavity cleaning device, which includes a body 1, which can hold cleaning fluid inside the body 1, and is provided with a flushing tube and a button. The flushing tube is connected to the inside of the body 1. When the button is pressed, the cleaning fluid in the body 1 can be sprayed out from the flushing tube.

[0024] Similar to conventional washers, the flushing tube includes a vertical section 2, a bend 3 communicating with the vertical section 2, and a flushing head 4 located at the end of the bend 3. The bend 3 allows the flushing tube to be more ergonomically designed.

[0025] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems proposed in this application, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a mounting block 5 is provided on the bending portion 3, and a collection groove 6 is provided on the mounting block 5. A drain pipe 9 communicating with the inner cavity of the collection groove 6 is provided on the collection groove 6. Specifically, two limiting blocks are provided on the bending portion 3, and the limiting blocks can be threadedly connected to the bending portion 3. One end of the mounting block 5 is sleeved on the bending portion 3 and located between the two limiting blocks, which limit its position. The mounting block 5 and the bending portion 3 are clearance-fitted, so the mounting block 5 can swing with the bending portion 3 as the fulcrum. The collection groove 6 is located at the other end of the mounting block 5. When the mounting block 5 swings, the collection groove 6 can move from one side of the flushing head 4 to the other side. A connector communicating with the inner cavity of the collection groove 6 is provided at the bottom of the collection groove 6. The drain pipe 9 is detachably connected to the connector, such as by a threaded connection or a snap-fit ​​connection. The detachable connection between the drain pipe 9 and the collection groove 6 makes the entire device easy to store and clean.

[0026] With the above structure, during use, the rinsing head 4 is inserted into one of the user's nostrils, and the collection tank 6 is rotated to the bottom of the other nostril. During rinsing, the rinsing fluid discharged from the other nostril falls into the collection tank 6 and drains down along the drain pipe 9. This prevents the discharged rinsing fluid from dripping onto clothing and from splashing due to dripping from a height. When it is necessary to rinse from another nostril, the mounting block 5 is rotated to move the collection tank 6 to the other side of the rinsing head 4. At this time, the nasal cavity can be rinsed from the other nostril, and the collection tank 6 can still collect the discharged rinsing fluid.

[0027] As an alternative implementation, the lower surface of the mounting block 5 is provided with a connecting post 10, and the lower end of the connecting post 10 is provided with two biting blocks 8, which are symmetrically distributed around the mounting block 5. In use, the user can bite the biting blocks 8 to fix the mounting block 5 and make the collection tank 7 fit tightly against their face, so that the discharged cleaning fluid can fall into the collection tank 7 more effectively.

[0028] In addition, the bite block 8 can move up and down to adjust its position on the connecting post 10, thereby adapting the bite block 8 to the position of a person's mouth and nose. Specifically, the two bite blocks 8 can be a single unit, with a central insertion hole into which the connecting post 10 is inserted, with a clearance fit between the connecting post 10 and the insertion hole. Furthermore, plastic locking bolts are provided on the sides of the bite blocks 8; after the bite block 8 is adjusted to the correct position, it can be locked in place using these bolts.

[0029] As an alternative implementation, the collecting groove 6 has fitting parts 7 on both sides of its opposite sides. That is, the collecting groove 6 has fitting parts 7 on both sides of its sides that are used to fit the human face. The fitting parts 7 are arc-shaped to match the position of the face they fit. This is more in line with ergonomic design, making the collecting groove 6 fit the face more closely and making it more comfortable for the user.

[0030] As an alternative implementation, the bite block 8 is provided with a breathing hole 11, and the breathing holes 11 on the two bite blocks 8 are interconnected through the connecting post 10. That is, the connecting post 10 is also provided with a through hole, and the breathing holes 11 on the two bite blocks 8 are interconnected through the through hole on the connecting post 10.

[0031] It should be noted that when the two interlocking blocks 8 are configured to be movable up and down as described above, the through hole on the connecting post 10 can be configured as an oblong hole extending along the length of the connecting post 10, so that the breathing hole 11 on the interlocking block 8 can still be connected through the through hole on the connecting post 10 after the interlocking block 8 moves up and down.

[0032] The design of the breathing hole 11 allows the user to maintain unobstructed breathing when biting the bite block 8.

[0033] As an alternative implementation, the bite block 8 is provided with a U-shaped opening 12, and the breathing hole 11 is located at the bottom of the U-shaped opening 12. The opening direction of the U-shaped opening 12 faces the human body side, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the bite block 8 is U-shaped to conform to the distribution of human teeth and improve the user experience.

[0034] As an alternative implementation, silicone pads are provided on both the upper and lower surfaces of the bite block 8, making it more comfortable for the user to bite.

[0035] It should be noted that all features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all methods or processes disclosed, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0036] Furthermore, the specific embodiments described above are exemplary. Those skilled in the art can devise various solutions inspired by the disclosure of this utility model, and these solutions all fall within the scope of this utility model and its protection. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model specification and its drawings are illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
