Furthermore, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or apparatuses.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an ear canal care device 100, including at least one care device 1. The ear canal care device 100 provided in this embodiment is used for ear canal cleaning and care. In use, the ear canal care device 100 is worn on the head, wherein the care device 1 is positioned corresponding to the human ear, allowing the care device 1 to clean and care for the ear canal. Specifically, the ear canal care device 100 includes a care device 1 and a headband structure 2. The care device 1 is disposed at one or both ends of the headband structure 2, which is worn on the human head.
[0042] In some embodiments, the ear canal care device 1 in the ear canal care device 100 may be two, respectively disposed at both ends of the headband structure 2, for simultaneously cleaning and caring for the user's two ear canals.
[0043] In some embodiments, the ear canal care device 100 includes only one care device 1. During use, after cleaning and caring for one ear canal, the user adjusts the direction to clean and care for the other ear canal. This embodiment uses one care device 1 as an example for explanation.
[0044] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The nursing device 1 provided in this embodiment is used for nursing cavities and includes a visual component 11 and a nursing component 12. The visual component 11 includes a cylindrical body 111 for penetrating into the cavity, a camera unit 112 disposed within the cylindrical body 111, and a supplementary lighting unit 113 for supplementary lighting. The cylindrical body 111 is a hollow structure with an opening. The camera unit 112 is disposed adjacent to the opening and is used for taking pictures to observe the situation inside the cavity. The supplementary lighting unit 113 is disposed adjacent to the camera unit 112. The nursing component 12 includes a cleaning unit 121 for cleaning the cavity, and the cleaning unit 121 is disposed adjacent to the visual component 11.
[0045] Compared to existing technologies, the nursing device 1 provided in this application uses a visual component 11 to capture images of the cavity, making it easier for users to observe and understand the condition inside the cavity. It also uses a cleaning unit 121 to clean the cavity, allowing users to observe the condition inside the cavity before and after cleaning and to understand the nursing results. Furthermore, the cleaning unit 121 is located close to the camera unit 112, which is beneficial for reducing the product size and facilitating miniaturized production and user use.
[0046] Specifically, there are multiple supplementary lighting units 113, which are arranged around the camera unit 112. Each supplementary lighting unit 113 includes LED beads, and multiple LED beads are arranged around the periphery of the camera unit 112 to provide supplementary lighting for the camera unit 112.
[0047] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The nursing device 1 further includes a housing assembly 13, which includes a covering unit 132, a rear housing unit 133, and a support unit 131. The rear housing unit 133 and the covering unit 132 are respectively disposed on both sides of the support unit 131. The rear housing unit 133 and the support unit 131 enclose a mounting cavity 13a, and the covering unit 132 and the support unit 131 enclose a cavity 132a, which is used to accommodate a user's body part, such as an ear. The covering unit 132 covers the cavity to support the user's body surface, protecting the user's cavity and preventing damage to the cavity caused by the insertion of the viewing component 11 into the cavity. It also catches the cleaning liquid, preventing the cleaning liquid from flowing out and dripping onto the user's body surface or clothing. The viewing component 11 passes through the support unit 131, meaning that part of the viewing component 11 is located in the mounting cavity 13a, and part is located in the cavity 132a.
[0048] The nursing device 1 further includes a control component 15, which includes a circuit board 151 and a first drive pump 152, both of which are located in the mounting cavity 13a. The circuit board 151 is electrically connected to the visual component 11, the nursing component 12, and the first drive pump 152; the first drive pump 152 is connected to the cleaning unit 121 to drive liquid or gas into the cavity. The control component 15 allows for control of the nursing device 1, enabling electrically driven liquid or gas to care for the cavity, reducing manual operation and improving the user experience. The circuit board 151 is equipped with a communication module for communication with external devices, allowing real-time transmission of images captured by the camera unit 112 of the cavity's interior to external devices such as mobile phones, tablets, and computers, which can display the images captured by the camera unit 112.
[0049] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cleaning unit 121 includes a tube 1211 and a liquid outlet 1212. The tube 1211 is fitted over the cylinder 111 and together with the cylinder 111 forms a channel 1213 for the flow of liquid or gas. The liquid outlet 1212 communicates with the channel 1213 and is located within the cylinder 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two liquid outlets 1212, which are positioned opposite each other at the opening of the cylinder 111, allowing the liquid or gas to flow through the channel 1213 and cross each other towards the skin. The tube 1211 has a certain curvature design at the liquid outlet 1212 to guide the flow of liquid or gas along this curvature and out of the liquid outlet 1212. The combination of tube 1211 and cylinder 111 reduces the product size and lowers costs. The liquid outlet 1212 is located within the cylinder 111, allowing liquid or gas to be sprayed onto the sidewalls of the ear canal when it flows into the ear canal. This avoids damage to the ear canal caused by direct spraying, ensuring user safety and improving the user experience. Furthermore, this design of the liquid outlet 1212 also helps cool the visual component 11 during ear canal cleaning.
[0050] In other embodiments, the channel 1213 in the cleaning unit 121 can be a separate pipe design, such as being arranged in parallel with the cylinder 111 or located inside the cylinder 111, as long as it can enable liquid or gas to flow into the channel.
[0051] In some embodiments, the liquid outlet 1212 can be opened on the tube body 1211 so that when the liquid or gas flows out of the liquid outlet 1212, it flows directly into the cavity. In order to avoid the liquid or gas flowing into the deep cavity and causing damage, such as damage to the tympanic membrane, the direction of the liquid outlet 1212 can be opened away from the camera unit 112 so that the liquid or gas flows out of the cavity.
[0052] Please see Figure 7 The cleaning unit 121 further includes a connector 1214, which connects the cylinder 111 and the end of the tube 1211 away from the liquid outlet 1212. The connector 1214 is provided with a liquid inlet 1215, which communicates with the channel 1213 for liquid or gas to enter the channel 1213. The connector 1214 is also provided with a connection hole 1216, and the cylinder 111 is connected to the connection hole 1216.
[0053] The connector 1214 is threadedly connected to the tube 1211. Specifically, the tube 1211 has an internal thread at one end near the connector 1214, and the connector 1214 has an external thread, thus achieving a threaded connection between the two, facilitating production and assembly. The connecting hole 1216 is located in the middle of the connector 1214, and a portion of the cylinder 111 is located in the connecting hole 1216, allowing the wires connecting the camera unit 112 and the supplementary lighting unit 113 to the circuit board 151 to pass through. The liquid inlet 1215 passes through the connector 1214, thereby connecting the channel 1213 to the outside, allowing liquid or gas to enter the channel 1213 through the liquid inlet 1215 and then flow out from the liquid outlet 1212. The connector 1214 allows the cylinder 111 and the tube 1211 to be connected and fixed, while also allowing external liquid or gas to enter the channel 1213. This design is simple, low-cost, and easy to manufacture and assemble.
[0054] The cleaning unit 121 further includes a first delivery pipe 1217, which connects the liquid inlet 1215 and the first drive pump 152. Under the action of the drive pump, liquid or gas is delivered to the channel 1213 and then to the cavity.
[0055] To ensure the cavity dries quickly after cleaning, the care assembly 12 also includes a drying unit for drying the cavity, which is located adjacent to the visible assembly 11. The drying unit allows the user to dry the cavity after cleaning, preventing water residue from remaining inside and causing the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms, thus ensuring hygiene within the cavity.
[0056] Specifically, the drying unit is connected to the channel 1213 and is used to deliver gas through the liquid outlet 1212 to dry the cavity. The drying unit and the cleaning unit 121 share the same flow channel 1213, which can effectively reduce product costs and reduce product volume. It can also prevent liquid from remaining in the channel 1213 and affecting the user's next use, and can also prevent the product from being damaged due to long-term exposure to a humid environment.
[0057] In some embodiments, the drying unit further includes a second delivery pipe, which is connected to the channel 1213 and is used to deliver gas to the channel 1213.
[0058] In this embodiment, the second delivery pipe and the first delivery pipe 1217 share the same conduit. The first drive pump 152 drives liquid or gas through the first delivery pipe 1217 (the second delivery pipe) into the channel 1213, and then into the cavity. When the cavity needs to be cleaned, the first drive pump 152 drives liquid through the first delivery pipe 1217 into the cavity; after cleaning, the first drive pump 152 drives gas into the first delivery pipe 1217 into the cavity for drying.
[0059] Please see Figure 8 To facilitate adjustment of the angle and depth of the visual component 11 within the ear canal, the nursing device 1 further includes an adjustment component 14. The adjustment component 14 is connected to the visual component 11 and is used to adjust the position of the visual component 11 within the ear canal. By adjusting the visual component 11, the adjustment component 14 can be used to adjust the angle and position of the cleaning unit 121, enabling observation of the ear canal's condition and adjustment of the cleaning angle to ensure that the necessary areas within the ear canal are cleaned.
[0060] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly 14 includes an adjustment member 141 disposed on the side of the rear shell unit 133 away from the cover unit 132, a threaded rod 142 movably connected to the adjustment member 141, and a flexible member 143. The threaded rod 142 is connected to the visual assembly 11. The adjustment member 141 has an internal thread that is screwed to the threaded rod 142, and can rotate to adjust the threaded rod 142 to move in the axial direction, so that the visual assembly 11 can move in the axial direction along the cavity.
[0061] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9To prevent the visual component 11 from extending too far into or out of the cavity and causing damage, the adjusting member 141 is provided with a first limiting block 144, and the rear shell unit 133 is provided with a second limiting block 134. The first limiting block 144 can abut against the second limiting block 134. When the adjusting member 141 rotates, the first limiting block 144 rotates along a preset route. When the first limiting block 144 abuts against the second limiting block 134, the threaded rod 142 extends or retracts from the cavity to the maximum distance. This not only adapts to different user cavity depths but also ensures that the extension or retraction distance of the visual component 11 within the cavity is controllable, avoiding damage to the user's cavity.
[0062] The flexible element 143 is sleeved on the end of the visual component 11 near the adjusting element 141 and connected to the adjusting element 141. Specifically, the flexible element 143 is connected to the support unit 131 and is used to drive the visual component 11 to move radially along the cavity under the action of the adjusting element 141. The flexible element 143 is made of flexible material and is connected to the support unit 131 and the adjusting element 141, so that when the adjusting element 141 is adjusted up, down, left, or right, the flexible element 143 can be deformed, thereby allowing the visual component 11 to move in the opposite direction to the adjustment direction of the adjusting element 141. This allows for adjustment of the orientation of the visual component 11, facilitating observation of the cavity and targeted cleaning of specific parts of the cavity. The design of the flexible element 143 allows for a small range of directional adjustment of the visual component 11 within the cavity. The specific adjustment range can be designed according to the needs of the flexible element 143 and the support unit 131.
[0063] By employing the adjusting component 141, the threaded rod 142, and the flexible component 143, the visual component 11 and the cleaning unit 121 can be rotated at multiple angles for cleaning, and can be carefully adjusted according to the depth of the cavity, thereby improving the user experience.
[0064] Please see Figure 10 The nursing component 12 also includes a filter unit 123, which is installed at the bottom of the cover unit 132 and communicates with the cavity 132a, for filtering the liquid after cleaning the ear canal. The cover unit 132 allows the liquid after cleaning to be temporarily contained within the cavity 132a after flowing out of the ear canal, preventing contamination of other parts of the user's body or clothing. The filter unit 123 on the cover unit 132 filters the cleaning liquid, thus leaving dirt and other debris in the ear canal within the cover unit 132 for easy cleaning.
[0065] Specifically, the filtration unit 123 includes a connecting hole 1231 disposed in the cover unit 132, a filter screen 1232 disposed in the connecting hole 1231, and a third delivery pipe 1233 communicating with the connecting hole 1231. The control component 15 also includes a second drive pump 153, which is electrically connected to the circuit board 151 and disposed in the mounting cavity 13a. The second drive pump 153 is connected to the third delivery pipe 1233 and is used to draw the liquid after cleaning the cavity into the third delivery pipe 1233 and transfer it out of the cavity 132a.
[0066] Furthermore, the covering unit 132 and the support unit 131 are detachably connected. Specifically, the covering unit 132 and the support unit 131 are detachably connected by magnetic attraction. This detachable connection allows the covering unit 132 to be disassembled, washed, and reused, or it can be used only once, providing users with flexibility and ensuring product hygiene.
[0067] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 The nursing device 1 further includes a liquid storage assembly 16, which is connected to the cleaning unit 121 and is used to supply liquid or gas to the cleaning unit 121. The liquid storage assembly 16 includes a liquid storage tank 161, which contains liquid and gas.
[0068] Specifically, please refer to Figure 11 The liquid storage tank 161 includes a cover plate 1611, side walls 1612, and a bottom plate 1613. The cover plate 1611, side walls 1612, and bottom plate 1613 enclose a sealed structure with a cavity for holding liquids and gases. The bottom plate 1613 has a first connecting portion 1614 and a second connecting portion 1615, which are spaced apart and both have a groove structure. The bottom wall of the groove of the first connecting portion 1614 and the second connecting portion 1615 has a cross-shaped pattern for easy puncture. Specifically, the bottom plate 1613 is made of silicone. The first connecting portion 1614 and the second connecting portion 1615 are made of silicone and integrally formed with the bottom plate 1613. The integral molding of the first connecting portion 1614 and the second connecting portion 1615 with silicone allows them to be easily punctured and to remain tightly sealed after puncture, preventing leakage.
[0069] Please see Figure 12 and Figure 13The nursing device 1 further includes a connecting component 17, which is connected to the liquid storage component 16 and is used to transport liquid or gas in the liquid storage component 16 to the cleaning unit 121. The connecting component 17 includes a connecting element 171 connected to the liquid storage component 16, and a fourth delivery pipe 172, a fifth delivery pipe 173, and a sixth delivery pipe 174 connected to the connecting element 171. Specifically, the conductive element 171 includes a first conductive port 1711 located at the bottom of the conductive element 171, a second conductive port 1712 and a third conductive port 1713 located at one end of the conductive element 171 away from the first conductive port 1711, a fourth conveying pipe 172 connected to the first conductive port 1711, a fifth conveying pipe 173 connected to the second conductive port 1712, a sixth conveying pipe 174 connected to the third conductive port 1713, the other end of the fourth conveying pipe 172 connected to the first conveying pipe 1217, the other end of the fifth conveying pipe 173 connected to the second conveying pipe, and the other end of the sixth conveying pipe 174 connected to the third conveying pipe 1233.
[0070] The conductive component 171 is provided with a mounting groove 171a, the shape of which matches the shape of the liquid storage tank 161. The liquid storage tank 161 is detachably installed in the conductive component 171. Specifically, the liquid storage tank 161 is entirely installed in the mounting groove 171a of the conductive component 171. The conductive component 171 also includes a third connecting portion 1714 and a fourth connecting portion 1715 provided on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 171a. The third connecting portion 1714 is provided with a through hole 1716 penetrating the third connecting portion 1714, and the fourth connecting portion 1715 is provided with a through hole 1716 penetrating the fourth connecting portion 1715. When the liquid storage tank 161 is installed in the mounting groove 171a, the third connecting portion 1714 and the fourth connecting portion 1715 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 1614 and the second connecting portion 1615. Specifically, the third connecting part 1714 and the fourth connecting part 1715 are cylindrical structures, and their shapes match the groove shapes of the first connecting part 1614 and the second connecting part 1615. When the liquid storage tank 161 is installed as a whole in the mounting groove 171a of the conductive member 171, the third connecting part 1714 is sealed to the first connecting part 1614, and the fourth connecting part 1715 is sealed to the second connecting part 1615. The through holes 1716 provided on the third connecting part 1714 and the fourth connecting part 1715 connect to the cavity inside the liquid storage tank 161, thereby allowing the liquid and gas inside the liquid storage tank 161 to be discharged. Specifically, the first conductive port 1711 connects to the third connecting part 1714, and the second conductive port 1712 and the third conductive port 1713 connect to the fourth connecting part 1715.
[0071] To ensure that the third connecting part 1714 and the fourth connecting part 1715 can communicate with the liquid storage tank 161 when the liquid storage tank 161 is installed in the mounting groove 171a of the conductor 171, the third connecting part 1714 and the fourth connecting part 1715 are provided with a piercing part 1717 at one end facing the liquid storage tank, so as to ensure that the piercing part 1717 pierces the bottom wall of the groove of the first connecting part 1614 and the second connecting part 1615, thereby realizing the communication between the third connecting part 1714 and the fourth connecting part 1715 and the liquid storage tank 161.
[0072] In this embodiment, the first delivery pipe 1217 and the second delivery pipe use the same pipeline. To ensure that liquid is delivered during cleaning and gas is delivered during drying, the control component 15 also includes a solenoid valve 154. The fourth delivery pipe 172, the fifth delivery pipe 173, and the sixth delivery pipe 174 are all connected to the solenoid valve 154. The solenoid valve 154 is used to control the connection and closure of the fourth delivery pipe 172, the fifth delivery pipe 173, and the sixth delivery pipe 174. When liquid needs to be transported, the solenoid valve 154 connects to the fourth transport pipe 172, and the first drive pump 152 drives the liquid to be transported through the fourth transport pipe 172 to the first transport pipe 1217, and then enters the cavity through the channel 1213; when gas needs to be transported for drying, the first drive pump 152 drives the gas to be transported through the fifth transport pipe 173 to the second transport pipe (first transport pipe 1217), and then enters the chamber through the channel 1213; when the liquid after cleaning the cavity needs to be filtered and recycled, the second drive pump 153 drives the filtered liquid to enter the third transport pipe 1233, and then to the sixth transport pipe 174 to enter the liquid storage assembly 16, so as to be reused.
[0073] In this embodiment, the liquid storage component 16 and the conductive component 17 are detachably connected. After cleaning and maintenance are completed, the liquid storage component 16 can be removed, and a new liquid storage component 16 can be installed as needed for the next cleaning and maintenance. The detachable connection allows the liquid storage component 16 to be quickly replaced, which is convenient for users and also facilitates the replacement of external medications, making the product more practical.
[0074] Because the cavity is quite sensitive, to avoid discomfort caused by excessively low liquid temperature during cleaning, the nursing device 1 also includes a heating component 18. The heating component 18 is electrically connected to the circuit board 151 and is installed in the liquid storage component 16. Specifically, the heating component 18 is installed on the side of the conductive member 171 facing the liquid storage component 16. When the liquid storage component 16 is installed in the conductive member 171, the heating component 18 extends into the liquid storage component 16 and can heat the liquid inside. The heating component 18 includes a heating element, which can be a heating rod or heating plate, or other heating structure.
[0075] The control component 15 also includes a battery 155 and a charging port 156. Both the battery 155 and the charging port 156 are electrically connected to the circuit board 151 to provide power to the care component 12. The charging port 156 is used to connect to an external power source to charge the battery 155.
[0076] In this embodiment, the liquid storage component 16, the heating component 18, the conductive component 17, and the battery 155 are located at the other end of the head-mounted structure 2, and are located at both ends of the head-mounted structure 2, respectively, along with other components such as the visual component 11.
[0077] Continue reading Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the conductive component 17 further includes a first connecting pipe 175 and a second connecting pipe 176. The first connecting pipe 175 connects the fourth delivery pipe 172 and the first delivery pipe 1217, and also connects the fifth delivery pipe 173 and the first delivery pipe 1217. The second connecting pipe 176 connects the sixth delivery pipe 174 and the third delivery pipe 1233. The headgear structure 2 includes a connecting shell 21 and a protective sleeve 22 fitted over the connecting shell 21. The connecting shell 21 is a hollow structure, through which the first connecting pipe 175 and the second connecting pipe 176 pass.
[0078] Specifically, please refer to Figure 14 In this embodiment, the head-mounted structure 2 further includes a fixing member 23 disposed in the connecting shell 21. The fixing member 23 is fixedly connected to the connecting shell 21 by screws. The fixing member 23 has a cavity for the first connecting tube 175 and the second connecting tube 176 to pass through. Specifically, it can also be used for the conductive wires connecting the components at both ends of the head-mounted structure 2 to pass through.
[0079] To prevent damage to the cavity caused by excessively strong water flow during cleaning and maintenance, the fixing component 23 includes a first curved portion 231 and a second curved portion 232. The first curved portion 231 connects to the second curved portion 232 to form an S-shaped structure. The first connecting pipe 175 and the second connecting pipe 176 are flexible hoses. When the first connecting pipe 175 and the second connecting pipe 176 pass through the first curved portion 231 and the second curved portion 232, the first connecting pipe 175 and the second connecting pipe 176 exhibit an S-shaped shape. Therefore, when liquid or gas flows through, the curved portion provides better protection against the liquid or gas flow. The flow rate causes a certain offset or resistance, which reduces the flow rate. This slows down the flow of liquid or gas when the user is cleaning or drying, making the flow into the cavity more gentle and avoiding damage to the cavity, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, when the user wears the ear canal care device 100, the size of the headband structure 2 needs to be adjusted due to different head sizes, which may cause the tubing to stretch. This design also provides a certain buffer length when the first connecting tube 175 and the second connecting tube 176 are stretched, which can prevent product damage caused by being pulled and broken.
