Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ear protection products, specifically a split-type ear pressure equalizer. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous technological advancements and evolving user needs, the functionality of split-type ear pressure equalizers will evolve. Split-type ear pressure equalizers are suitable for various scenarios, including activities with significant external pressure changes such as air travel and diving. They also serve as an adjunct therapy for patients who frequently suffer from ear pressure imbalance due to Eustachian tube dysfunction. Patients with chronic pharyngitis causing frequent Eustachian tube blockage can better manage ear pressure, alleviate symptoms, and improve their quality of life by combining medication with a split-type ear pressure equalizer.

[0003] The existing technology has the following defects or problems: The existing technology, disclosed in CN219763742U, discloses an ear canal pressure equalizer for use in a micro-high pressure environment, including a rod, a balloon disposed at the front end of the rod, and a pressurizing airbag; the rod has a front body and a rear body; the rear body has a cavity structure; the pressurizing airbag is disposed in the cavity structure and has an assembly state that is fixed and sealed with the cavity structure; in the assembly state, the cavity structure forms a front space and a rear space; the rear body has a connecting hole; the front body has an airflow channel connecting the front space and the inside of the balloon; the front body has a first air hole connecting the outside and the airflow channel; the balloon has a compression deformation state that is inserted into the external auditory canal and shrinks in volume; the balloon has a second air hole connecting the inside and outside. This utility model, in a micro-high pressure environment, can balance the internal and external pressure of the tympanic membrane, reduce the degree of tympanic membrane deformation, and alleviate the user's discomfort or pain in a micro-high pressure environment, making it highly practical.

[0004] The aforementioned devices are difficult to disassemble during use, making thorough cleaning impossible. This leads to the accumulation of dirt at the connection points, which over time not only affects the device's hygiene but also breeds bacteria. Upon reuse, these bacteria can enter the ear, increasing the risk of ear infections. Furthermore, in existing technologies, some split-type ear pressure equalizers fail to fit snugly into the ear canal, resulting in insufficient airflow into the middle ear. This prevents accurate pressure equalization between the middle ear and the external environment, significantly reducing the effectiveness of pressure regulation. Users may still experience ear discomfort, stuffiness, and pain without significant relief.

[0005] It should be noted that the above content falls within the inventor's technical knowledge and does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment: a split-type ear pressure equalizer includes a conical body 1, a connecting block 2 threadedly connected to the right side of the conical body 1, the outer side of the connecting block 2 threadedly connected to the inner wall of the right side of the conical body 1, the right side of the connecting block 2 fixedly connected to the left side of a detachable cap 3, the left side of the detachable cap 3 in contact with the right side of the conical body 1, a connecting post 4 fixedly disposed on the left side of the conical body 1, the outer side of the connecting post 4 in contact with the inner wall of the left side of the conical body 1, a balloon 5 fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting post 4, the outer right side of the balloon 5 fixedly connected to the left side of the connecting post 4, the balloon 5 having a cavity inside, and multiple sealing components disposed on the outer side of the conical body 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, during use, the ear pressure equalizer is first correctly placed at the entrance of the ear canal, ensuring that the sealing component fits tightly against the ear canal wall to form a relatively sealed space. When it is necessary to increase ear pressure, the balloon 5 can be squeezed to compress the air inside the balloon 5. The air enters the ear canal through the internal channel of the connecting post 4 and the conical body 1, thereby increasing the pressure inside the ear canal and achieving the purpose of balancing the ear pressure. When it is necessary to reduce ear pressure, the squeezed balloon 5 can be released, and the balloon 5 returns to its original shape, increasing the internal cavity volume and decreasing the pressure. Under the action of the pressure difference, the air in the ear canal will enter the balloon 5 through the channel, thereby reducing the pressure inside the ear canal and achieving ear pressure equalization. When the ear pressure equalizer is not needed, or when it needs to be cleaned or maintained, the connecting block 2 can be unscrewed to separate the detachable cap 3 from the conical body 1, facilitating internal cleaning and ensuring hygiene and normal function for the next use.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, multiple sealing components include sealing rings 6, which are made of silicone. The inner walls of the multiple sealing rings 6 are fixedly connected to the outer left side of the conical body 1 from left to right. The inner wall of the left sealing ring 6 is in contact with the outer right side of the connecting post 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 6 is made of silicone. Silicone has good flexibility, elasticity, aging resistance, and biocompatibility. Its good flexibility and elasticity allow the sealing ring 6 to fit tightly against the contact surface when in contact with the ear canal, effectively preventing air leakage. Its aging resistance ensures the stable performance of the sealing ring 6 during long-term use. The inner walls of multiple sealing rings 6 are sequentially and fixedly connected to the outer left side of the conical body 1 from left to right at intervals. This spaced distribution design can form seals at multiple locations, enhancing the overall sealing effect. The inner wall of the sealing ring 6 on the left side also contacts the outer right wall of the connecting post 4, further strengthening the seal between the connecting post 4 and the conical body 1, preventing gas leakage from the connection point.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When in use, first place the ear pressure equalizer correctly at the entrance of the ear canal, ensuring that the sealing component fits tightly against the ear canal wall to form a relatively sealed space; when it is necessary to increase ear pressure, the air inside the balloon 5 can be compressed by squeezing the balloon 5. The air enters the ear canal through the internal channel of the connecting post 4 and the conical body 1, thereby increasing the pressure inside the ear canal. The good flexibility and elasticity of the sealing ring 6 allow it to fit tightly against the contact surface when in contact with the ear canal, effectively preventing air leakage; the user only needs to gently rotate the connecting block 2 to loosen the threaded connection between it and the right side of the conical body 1, and then the detachable cap 3 can be removed together with the connecting block 2. The interior of the conical body 1, as well as the connecting post 4 and the balloon 5, will be completely exposed, thus completing the separation.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
