Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of ear-cleaning devices, specifically an ear-cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The skin inside the human ear canal is very sensitive. During the ear cleaning process, when staff use soft, flexible materials such as feathers or fibers to touch or gently sweep across the consumer's ear canal, it will cause a tingling or itchy sensation. This unique stimulation will be transmitted to the brain, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort and relaxation, as if all the nerves in the body are being soothed, which helps to relieve stress and fatigue.

[0003] In a published Chinese patent application (publication number CN219271322U), titled "An Electric Ear Cleaning and Massager," the prior art includes a rotating suction shaft. One end of the rotating suction shaft is elastically engaged with a feather brush holder, and the other end of the feather brush holder is elastically engaged with a feather massage brush and an elastic ear cleaning head. An exhaust fan and a conical gasket are fitted around the outside of the rotating suction shaft, and one end of the rotating suction shaft is mounted on the output shaft of a motor. While this prior art can drive the feather brush holder via a motor to brush and scratch the inside of the user's ear canal, thereby relieving fatigue and stress, it has certain limitations in practical implementation.

[0004] The existing technology requires a staff member or another person to hold the electric device continuously to scratch or clean the user's ears. This technology necessitates a second person's assistance and is inconvenient for single-person use. Furthermore, the flexible component (feather card reader) in this existing technology cannot automatically move repeatedly within the user's ear canal to enhance the user experience.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0032] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 6 to 8The present invention provides a technical solution: an ear cleaning device, including a headband 1 and two ear-scratching components. The headband 1 is semi-circular in shape, and the two ear-scratching components are respectively installed at both ends of the headband 1.

[0033] The headband 1 is made of, but is not limited to, a plastic with a certain degree of toughness. Two ear-scratching components are worn on the user's head via the headband 1, with the two ear-scratching components located at the user's left and right ears respectively. The ear-scratching components are rotatably connected to the headband 1, and in actual use, the wearing position of the headband 1 can be adjusted by rotation, for example, the headband 1 can be located at the top of the head or at the back of the head.

[0034] The ear-scratching component includes a support cylinder 2, an ear hook bracket 3, an ear cap 8, a first motor 15, a rack 13, and a drive assembly. The support cylinder 2 is rotatably mounted on the end of the headband 1. The ear hook bracket 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of one end of the support cylinder 2, and the ear cap 8 is detachably mounted on the side wall of the end of the support cylinder 2 near the ear hook bracket 3.

[0035] The support cylinder 2 and the headband 1 are connected by a rotating mechanism to facilitate adjustment of the headband 1's angle. The ear hook bracket 3 is used to easily hang the support cylinder 2 on the ears, reinforcing its fixation and preventing loosening. The ear cap 8 is detachably connected to the support cylinder 2 for easy replacement.

[0036] The drive assembly is installed inside the support cylinder 2, and the rack 13 is slidably disposed inside the support cylinder 2. The drive assembly is connected to the rack 13 for transmission. The first motor 15 is slidably disposed inside the support cylinder 2, indicating that the first motor 15 can slide and move along the length direction inside the support cylinder 2; the first motor 15 can also be placed directly inside the support cylinder 2. One end of the rack 13 is fixedly connected to the first motor 15. A flexible member 9 is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the first motor 15, and the middle part of the flexible member 9 passes through the end side wall of one end of the support cylinder 2 and the lug 8 in sequence.

[0037] The ear cap 8 is an integral structure consisting of a silicone membrane 801 and an in-ear hollow tube 802. The ear cap 8 is made of silicone (other soft materials such as soft rubber or sponge can also be used). The ear cap 8 is soft and contacts the user's ear skin, improving ear comfort. The first motor 15 is a miniature servo motor. The flexible component 9 passes sequentially through one end of the support cylinder 2 and the in-ear hollow tube 802 of the ear cap 8. One end of the flexible component 9 is a fixed end, which is fixedly installed to the output shaft of the first motor 15; the other end of the flexible component 9 is a free end, used to gently touch and sweep the skin inside the user's ear canal. The flexible component 9 is generally in the form of a thread or hair of a certain length. The drive assembly drives the rack 13 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2, and the rack 13 drives the first motor 15 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2.

[0038] The ear cap 8 is inserted into the outer edge of the user's ear canal, and the flexible component 9 is inserted into the user's ear canal. After the first motor 15 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 15 drives the flexible component 9 to rotate and swing. The free end of the flexible component 9 gently touches and sweeps against the skin of the inner wall of the user's ear canal, making the body feel numb and itchy, thus making the body feel comfortable and relaxed, achieving the purpose of relieving pressure and fatigue. At the same time, the drive component repeatedly drives the rack 13 to move back and forth in the support cylinder 2. The rack 13 drives the first motor 15 to move back and forth in the support cylinder 2. The first motor 15 drives the flexible component 9 to repeatedly extend into the ear canal, touching and sweeping the inner wall of the ear canal at different depths.

[0039] Specifically, the ear-mount bracket 3 is made of either plastic or rubber. The ear-mount bracket 3 has an internal equipment compartment 301 (such as a battery compartment). A control board 5 and a power supply unit are fixedly installed within the equipment compartment 301. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the first motor 15 via a wire, and the power supply unit is electrically connected to the first motor 15 via a wire. The control key 501 on the control board 5 penetrates the housing wall of the ear-mount bracket 3.

[0040] The ear-mount bracket 3 is made of, but is not limited to, plastic or rubber materials. The ear-mount bracket 3 is a shell structure used to house the control board 5 and the power supply unit. The power supply unit uses one of the following: AAA batteries, button batteries, etc. The power supply unit supplies power to the first motor 15. The control board 5 includes, but is not limited to, a microcontroller; other control switches for controlling the start and stop of the first motor 15 can also be used. When the control board 5 uses a microcontroller, it contains logic control programs, timing control programs, and other software programs to meet the control needs of the first motor 15's speed, start / stop, and forward / reverse rotation of the output shaft. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the first motor 15 via a first wire 6 and a second wire 7. A limit rod 11 is fixedly connected inside the support cylinder 2. The limit rod 11 is used to limit and block the first wire 6 and the second wire 7, preventing them from interfering with the movement of the first motor 15 and the rack 13.

[0041] Specifically, a rotating disk 10 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the first motor 15, and one end of the flexible member 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 10.

[0042] The rotating disk 10 is made of plastic. The fixed end of the flexible component 9 is fixedly connected to the circumference of the rotating disk 10. When the rotating disk 10 rotates, it drives the fixed end of the flexible component 9 to rotate, thereby increasing the rotational swing amplitude of the flexible component 9.

[0043] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a gear 12 and a drive component. The gear 12 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the support cylinder 2. The drive component is connected to the gear 12 in a transmission manner. The gear 12 meshes with a rack 13. A limiting slide rail 14 (or a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the support cylinder 2) is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support cylinder 2. The side edge along the length of the rack 13 is slidably connected to the limiting slide rail 14 (or the rack 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support cylinder 2 through the sliding groove). The rack 13 partially surrounds the outer wall of the gear 12 and the two mesh. After partially surrounding the gear 12, the rack 13 bends, thereby enabling the rack 13 to achieve a large stroke within a limited space.

[0044] The gear 12 is made of plastic. The rack 13 is a flexible rack, which is a type of rack that can be bent in one direction. This design allows the flexible rack to achieve a large lift within a limited space. The rack 13 may be made of, but is not limited to, MC nylon material. The drive unit acts as a power source to drive the gear 12 to rotate, and the gear 12 pushes the rack 13 it meshes with, thereby causing the rack 13 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2. The rack 13 drives the first motor 15 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2.

[0045] More specifically, the driving component includes a handwheel 4 and a central shaft. One end of the central shaft is fixedly installed on one side wall of the gear 12, the middle part of the central shaft passes through the side wall of the support cylinder 2 and the two are rotatably connected, and the other end of the central shaft is fixedly connected to the handwheel 4.

[0046] In this system, the user rotates the handwheel 4 to rotate the central shaft, which in turn rotates the gear 12. The gear 12 then pushes the rack 13, which meshes with it, causing the rack 13 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2. The rack 13 then drives the first motor 15 to move along its length within the support cylinder 2. By repeatedly rotating the handwheel 4 clockwise and counterclockwise, the user drives the rack 13 to reciprocate within the support cylinder 2. This reciprocating rotation of the handwheel 4 causes the first motor 15 to slide and move back and forth under the influence of the rack 13. The first motor 15 then drives the flexible component 9 to move back and forth, allowing the free end of the flexible component 9 to repeatedly extend to different depths within the user's ear canal.

[0047] Specifically, the flexible component 9 is made of fiber filaments.

[0048] Among them, the flexible component 9 includes, but is not limited to, the use of fiber filaments (such as cotton fiber, hemp fiber, silk fiber, wool fiber, etc. in natural fibers; such as filaments, composite fibers, etc. in synthetic fibers), and can also use materials with a certain length and flexibility such as feathers.

[0049] In practical application, the ear-scratching component shown in this technical solution can be implemented independently. That is, even without the headband 1 and another ear-scratching component, the ear-scratching component can still be worn on the user's ear through the ear hook bracket 3, and the user can use it with one ear.

[0050] Example 2, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 The main difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that the driving component is a second motor 16, which is fixedly installed inside the support cylinder 2, and the output shaft end of the second motor 16 is fixedly installed with the gear 12.

[0051] The second motor 16 is a miniature servo motor. The control board 5 is electrically connected to the second motor 16. The control board 5 is used to control the speed, start / stop, and forward / reverse rotation of the output shaft of the second motor 16. After the second motor 16 starts, the output shaft of the second motor 16 drives the gear 12 to rotate. The gear 12 pushes the rack 13, which meshes with it, to move along the length direction inside the support cylinder 2. The rack 13 pushes the first motor 15 to move along the length direction inside the support cylinder 2. The first motor 15 drives the flexible member 9 to move back and forth. The free end of the flexible member 9 can repeatedly extend to different depths in the user's ear canal.

[0052] In the specific implementation of this technical solution, one control board 5 in the device is electrically connected to the first motor 15 and the second motor 16 in the two ear-scratching components, that is, four motors can be controlled by one control board 5.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
