Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipetting devices for medical testing, and more specifically, to a replaceable ear syringe. Background Technology

[0002] The core technology of a bulb syringe lies in the siphon effect and pressure differential control. By squeezing the elastic bulb to expel internal air and create negative pressure, liquid or gas is drawn in. After releasing the pressure, external atmospheric pressure forces the target substance into or out of the tube, avoiding the health risks associated with traditional oral aspiration and allowing for precise control of liquid volume (especially when used with pipettes and micropipettes). However, while bulb syringes allow for precise liquid extraction in conjunction with pipettes, over-absorption can occur, causing liquid to easily enter the bulb tip and even the bulb itself. Furthermore, the bulb tip is prone to contamination or corrosion during use, and existing one-piece bulb syringes do not allow for tip replacement, resulting in a high scrap rate and limited lifespan.

[0003] Based on the above description, there is an urgent need for an ear syringe device with optimized structure and easily replaceable suction heads. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a replaceable syringe bulb, which aims to solve the technical problem that existing syringe bulbs are one-piece designs, and the entire bulb is scrapped when the tip is contaminated or corroded, making them unusable and unsuitable for pipetting scenarios where cross-contamination is likely.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] Preferably, the second tube body includes a connecting portion and a funnel-shaped constriction portion; the connecting portion is connected to the first ball portion; the wide end of the funnel-shaped constriction portion is located at the end of the connecting portion away from the first ball portion; the narrow end of the funnel-shaped constriction portion extends toward the third suction head; and a receiving groove is provided at one end of the third suction head for the funnel-shaped constriction portion to be embedded.

[0008] Preferably, a reverse osmosis gas membrane is provided at the end of the connecting portion near the first ball portion.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a first connecting ring, a second receiving ring, and a plurality of third locking blocks; the first connecting ring is located at one end of the funnel-shaped constriction section near the connecting part; the second receiving ring is located at one end of the third suction head near the second tube body; the first connecting ring has a plurality of slots for the third locking blocks to be inserted into the second receiving ring.

[0010] Preferably, the third suction head has a protrusion at one end near the second tube body; the cross-section of the protrusion is an isosceles trapezoid; the protrusion divides the end of the third suction head near the second tube body into the receiving groove, the constricting end, and the flared end symmetrical to the receiving groove.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the third suction head furthest from the second tube is the air inlet end; the diameter of the third suction head gradually increases from the air inlet end toward the second tube.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of anti-slip pads are attached to the end of the first ball portion away from the second tube body.

[0013] Preferably, the anti-slip pad is connected to the outer wall of the first ball via a Velcro assembly.

[0014] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the bulb syringe consists of three parts: a first bulb, a second tube, and a third pipette tip. The second tube and the open end of the first bulb are integrally formed to facilitate connection with the third pipette tip via a connecting assembly. The third pipette tip can be used as a disposable tip and can be disassembled and replaced after each use to meet the special requirement of avoiding poor contamination.
