Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ear canal cleaning technology, and in particular to an ear canal earwax remover. Background Technology

[0002] Earwax, also known as cerumen, is the buildup that forms in the ear. Its main components are waxy substances and skin cell fragments. Its function is to protect the ear canal and prevent dust, bacteria, and other irritants from entering. However, excessive earwax buildup can sometimes cause discomfort and hearing problems, necessitating its removal. Because the ear canal is narrow and fragile, cleaning requires professional tools. These tools can also be used to remove foreign objects from the ear canal. For example, patent CN220442814U discloses an ear canal earwax and foreign object cleaner, including an ear cleaner insert rod. An observation camera is fixedly connected to one side of the insert rod. An LED light is electrically connected to the outer side of one end of the observation camera. A camera lens is located on the inner side of one end of the observation camera. A traction steel bar is movably connected inside the insert rod. One end of the traction steel bar is rotatably connected to a handle rotating component. One end of the handle rotating component is rotatably connected to a rotating handle. A fixed handle is located at one end of the rotating handle.

[0003] In the aforementioned technical solution, the observation camera is located at one end of the ear cleaner's in-ear rod. This results in a protruding structure on the side of the rod, which can easily scratch the ear canal or cause the rod to become stuck during actual use. The camera's field of view is also obstructed by the rod's own structure, resulting in relatively poor image quality. Furthermore, the rotating connector at the end of the ear cleaner's in-ear rod requires an opening and closing action to clamp the earwax in the ear canal. Since the space inside the ear canal is limited and earwax is mostly close to the inner surface of the ear canal, the clamping is inconvenient due to the bulky structure and limited deflection angle. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an ear canal earwax cleaner, which helps to solve the problems of some current ear canal earwax cleaning devices, such as the poor image information acquisition effect due to the camera being set on the outer wall of the rod, and the inconvenience of clamping due to the use of a clamping structure, resulting in poor earwax cleaning effect.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: An earwax cleaner includes a handle, which includes a fixed member and a movable member connected to the rear end of the fixed member.

An extension rod is also provided on the front side of the cleaning end. A traction component is connected to the arc apex of the front end of the elastic filament bundle. The traction component passes through the extension rod, the rod, and the fixed member and is connected to the movable member. The movable member can pull the front side of the cleaning cage to retract and deform when it moves backward. The change in the gap between adjacent elastic filaments in the cleaning cage constitutes an opening and closing clamping structure for cleaning earwax.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the front end of the movable part is sleeved on the fixed part, and the front end of the movable part and the rear end of the fixed part are provided with opposing flanges, and the front and rear sides of the spring abut against the flanges.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the extension rod has chamfered thin edges on both sides in the lateral direction, and the cross-sectional profile of the chamfered thin edges is triangular.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, an elastic sheet is provided inside the insertion hole, and a plug adapted to the insertion hole is provided at the rear end of the substrate. The elastic sheet can clamp and constrain the plug after it is inserted into the insertion hole.

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment discloses an ear canal earwax cleaner, which aims to solve the problems of some current ear canal earwax cleaning devices having poor image information acquisition effect due to the camera being set on the outer wall of the rod 200, and the inconvenience of clamping and poor earwax cleaning effect due to the use of a clamping structure.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the earwax remover includes a handle 100, a rod 200, a cleaning tip 300, and a miniature camera module 500. The handle 100 is used by the user to grip and control the device. The rod 200, as an extension structure, allows the working tip to be positioned slightly away from the handle 100. The rod 200 is smaller than the typical inner contour of the ear canal, and during use, the rod 200 drives the working tip into the ear canal. The cleaning tip 300 serves as the working end, used in conjunction with the handle 100 to remove earwax from the ear canal. The miniature camera module 500 is used to acquire image information of the ear canal interior, helping the user to perform earwax removal more clearly and conveniently.

[0027] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 The handle 100 includes a fixed member 110 with a cylindrical rod structure. A movable member 120 is sleeved on the rear end of the fixed member 110. A spring 115 abuts between the movable member 120 and the fixed member 110, allowing the movable member 120 to move back and forth relative to the fixed member 110. The front end of the movable member 120 is sleeved on the fixed member 110. The front end of the movable member 120 and the rear end of the fixed member 110 have opposing flanges. The front and rear sides of the spring 115 abut between the flanges. An annular limiting groove structure is also provided on the adjacent sides of the flanges to limit the movement of the spring 115. This design allows the movable member 120 to move back and forth relative to the fixed member 110 under the action of external force, while the elastic force of the spring 115 ensures that the movable member 120 returns to its initial position after the external force disappears.

[0028] Furthermore, a cover 114 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing member 110. The outer surfaces of the cover 114 and the movable member 120 are provided with anti-slip textures. In this embodiment, the anti-slip textures on the cover 114 are dot-shaped flange structures, and the anti-slip textures on the movable member 120 are horizontal flange structures. This is beneficial for the movable member 120 to be pushed back more reliably and conveniently when gripping the handle 100.

[0029] Furthermore, the movable component 120 has an internal cavity, and a detachable opening and closing panel 121 is provided at the rear end of the movable component 120. The internal cavity of the movable component 120 is used to accommodate key components such as the electronic control module 113. The detachable opening and closing panel 121 at the rear end of the movable component 120 facilitates the inspection or replacement of internal components. It should be noted that the electronic control module 113 includes a power supply, a communication module, a processing chip, etc., and the miniature camera module 500 includes a miniature camera and a supplementary light. When working together, they can display real-time image information inside the ear canal through an external display device (monitor or mobile terminal). Both the electronic control module 113 and the miniature camera module 500 are existing technologies, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can select and implement them from existing technologies according to actual operating conditions.

[0030] The front end of the fixing member 110 is connected to a rod body 200 with a straight rod structure. A miniature camera module 500 is fixed to the front end of the rod body 200. A cleaning end 300 is detachably connected to the front end of the rod body 200 around the miniature camera module 500. An elastic filament bundle 400 is provided on the front side of the cleaning end 300. The elastic filament bundle 400 is a cleaning cage structure formed by several n-shaped elastic filaments ringed together. An extension rod 320 is also provided on the front side of the cleaning end 300. A pulling component is connected to the arc apex of the front end of the elastic filament bundle 400. The pulling component passes through the extension rod 320, the rod body 200 and the fixing member 110 from the inside and is connected to the movable member 120. The movable member 120 can pull the front side of the cleaning cage to retract and deform. The change in the gap between adjacent elastic filaments of the cleaning cage constitutes the opening and closing clamping structure for cleaning earwax.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the pole body 200 has a tension channel 210 and a cable channel 250 inside, and the fixing member 110 has a first connecting channel 111 communicating with the cable channel 250 and a second connecting channel 112 communicating with the tension channel 210. The design of these channels allows the tensioning components and cables to be orderly installed inside the pole body 200, avoiding mutual interference.

[0032] Combination Figure 2As shown, the rod 200 has an opening slot 211 on one side of the front end of the traction channel 210. A hook 220 is provided inside the opening slot 211. The front end of the hook 220 is a bent hook structure, and the rear end of the hook 220 is a vertical rod. A traction rope 230 is connected to the rear end of the vertical rod. One end of the traction rope 230 is connected to the hook 220, and the other end passes through the traction channel 210 and the second connecting channel 112 before connecting to the movable part 120. Figure 4 As shown, the pull rope 230 is connected to the connecting post 122 on the opening and closing panel 121 of the movable part 120. In this way, when the movable part 120 moves back and forth, the pull rope 230 can drive the hook 220 and the pull assembly to perform corresponding actions.

[0033] The cable of the miniature camera module 500 passes through the cable channel 250 and the first connection channel 111, and then connects to the electronic control module 113 located inside the movable component 120. The electronic control module 113 is used to control the opening and closing of the miniature camera module 500 and the transmission of image information. By setting up two channels, the fixed arrangement of its cable is spaced apart from the frequently moving traction rope 230, avoiding mutual interference. This helps to improve the stability of the structure and performance.

[0034] Combination Figure 5 The rod body 200 has a boss 240 at its front end, and the miniature camera module 500 is disposed in the middle area of ​​the boss 240. The boss 240 has several insertion holes 241 around the miniature camera module 500 for detachable connection with the cleaning end head 300. Specifically, the cleaning end head 300 includes a base 310 detachably connected to the insertion holes 241. An elastic piece 242 is provided in the insertion hole 241. The rear end of the base 310 is provided with a post 311 adapted to the insertion hole 241. The elastic piece 242 can clamp and constrain the post 311 after it is inserted into the insertion hole 241.

[0035] Furthermore, the base 310 is a ring block structure. The elastic filament bundle 400 is located on the front side of the base 310. One end of each elastic filament of the elastic filament bundle 400 is fixed to the front end face of the base 310, forming a ring structure. The other end of each elastic filament is connected and fixed at the top after appropriate bending, forming a "birdcage"-shaped structure. The extension rod 320 is located on the front side of the base 310. The extension rod 320 is a hollow "J"-shaped structure. The extension rod 320 has an inner hole 321 that penetrates the base 310 and is aligned with the opening slot 211. The elastic filament is connected to a pull line 410 at the curved top of the front side. The pull line passes through the inner hole 321 and is connected to the hook 220. When the movable part 120 moves backward, the pull line 410 drives the front side of the elastic filament bundle 400 to retract and deform through the hook 220, thereby realizing the opening and closing clamping function of the cleaning cage.

[0036] Furthermore, the extension rod 320 has chamfered thin edges 322 on both sides of its lateral direction. The cross-sectional profile of the chamfered thin edges 322 is triangular, and its chamfer is a smooth rounded corner structure. This allows the left and right sides to act as scraping structures. When the extension rod 320 is inserted into the ear canal along with the cleaning end 300, it can obtain the distribution position of the earwax with the help of internal image information and rotate it appropriately accordingly. The earwax is peeled off the inner wall of the ear canal by the two sides of the extension rod 320, which facilitates subsequent cleaning.

[0037] In practice, the operator holds the handle 100 with one hand, specifically pinching the outer sheath 114 of the fixing component 110 with the thumb and forefinger, while the little finger and ring finger rest against the outer surface of the movable component 120. The operator slowly inserts the rod 200, along with the cleaning tip 300, into the ear canal. Utilizing the coordinated operation of the miniature camera module 500 and the electronic control module 113, the operator observes the internal condition of the ear canal and performs operations as needed, such as slightly rotating the rod 200 and using the extension rod 320 to remove earwax. Then, the operator adjusts... Position the cleaning end 300 appropriately, such as by inserting it deeper or rotating it axially, so that the earwax passes through or gets stuck in the gap between adjacent elastic filaments. Then, use your little finger and ring finger to push the movable part 120 backward. During this process, the elastic filament bundle 400 is stretched and deformed, and the gap between adjacent elastic filaments also changes. When the gap becomes smaller, it can further stabilize the earwax or prevent internal earwax leakage. Maintain this state and slowly pull out the rod 200 and the cleaning end 300. Repeat the above operation as needed.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
