Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ear canal cleaning equipment, specifically an animal ear canal cleaner. Background Technology
[0002] Animals' ears secrete oil, which accumulates and mixes with dust and moisture to form earwax. Earwax easily breeds bacteria and mites, especially in the hot and humid weather of the south, which accelerates the growth of bacteria inside the ear, making dogs more susceptible to ear diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the animal's ear canal regularly to ensure its cleanliness and health. However, existing ear cleaners cannot quickly fit the diameter of the ear canal.
[0003] According to patent document CN213029471U, a canine ear canal cleaner includes an ear syringe, an outer tube, a delivery tube, and a cleaning tube. The ear syringe has a gradually tapering output connection at its lowest point. The upper end of the delivery tube is assembled and connected to the output connection at the lowest point of the ear syringe. The lower end of the delivery tube has a bent section, which is integrally connected to the cleaning tube. The delivery tube is sleeved inside the outer tube, and the bent section shrinks and expands within the outer tube along with the delivery tube. A first bristle brush is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tube, and a spoon head is provided at the end of the cleaning tube. When in use, this technical solution can scrape off the earwax secreted at different locations on the ear canal wall, and can perform a comprehensive and rapid cleaning of the ear canal without seeing the condition inside the ear canal. However, although the above technical solution achieves rapid cleaning, it cannot evenly spray the cleaning solution onto the inner wall of the ear canal during use, and it cannot be used to clean the ear canals of animals with different diameters by scraping and rubbing. Therefore, it is inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide an animal ear canal cleaner to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. This invention features a novel structure. During use, the ring retracts into the opening, effectively preventing scratches and damage to the inner wall of the ear canal during initial insertion and subsequent removal. Furthermore, the retraction of the ring into the opening compresses the elastic tube, increasing its diameter and thus effectively fitting the ear canals of animals with different diameters for cleaning.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an animal ear canal cleaner, comprising a support tube, an elastic tube fixed to one end of the support tube, an annular groove formed on the side wall of the elastic tube, a fixing tube rotatably mounted to the other end of the support tube, a fixing ring and a motor base fixedly mounted on the fixing tube, the support tube rotatably mounted inside the motor base, a switch mounted on the side of the motor base, an installation hole formed at one end of the fixing tube, a connecting tube movably mounted inside the installation hole, and a movable seat fixed to one end of the connecting tube.
[0006] Furthermore, a support mechanism is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the movable seat. The support mechanism is movably installed on the side of the connecting pipe, and one end of the support mechanism is fixed to the fixed pipe.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the elastic tube has an opening, and a cleaning component is movably installed inside the opening. The cleaning component includes a ring seat, which is movably installed inside the opening.
[0008] Furthermore, a movable tube is fixed to the side of the ring seat, and a limiting ring is fixed on the inner wall of the opening, the limiting ring cooperating with the ring seat.
[0009] Furthermore, the movable tube has a groove, and the inner wall of the groove has a through hole. One end of the movable tube is fixed to the connecting tube.
[0010] Furthermore, a flexible hose is fixed to one end of the connecting pipe, and the flexible hose is rotatably mounted on the connecting pipe via a sealing bushing.
[0011] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed inside the motor base, a drive gear is fixedly installed on the drive motor, a driven gear is rotatably installed on the side of the drive gear, and the driven gear is fixedly installed on the support tube.
[0012] Furthermore, the motor base has heat dissipation holes inside, a filter plate is fixed inside the heat dissipation holes, a motor frame is fixed inside the motor base, and the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the motor frame.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, when the ring seat retracts into the opening, it effectively avoids scratching damage to the inner wall of the ear canal during the initial insertion and subsequent removal. In addition, the retraction of the ring seat into the opening compresses the elastic tube, which increases in diameter, thus effectively fitting the ear canals of animals with different diameters for cleaning.
[0014] In this invention, a drive motor rotates a support tube and an elastic tube. The elastic tube, under rotation, completes the friction cleaning of the inner wall of the ear canal. The elastic tube has an annular groove to facilitate the scraping and collection of impurities, thus facilitating the cleaning of ear canal dirt. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: an animal ear canal cleaner, including a support tube 1, an elastic tube 2 fixed to one end of the support tube 1, an annular groove 19 formed on the side wall of the elastic tube 2, a fixed tube 6 rotatably mounted to the other end of the support tube 1, a fixed ring 7 and a motor base 4 fixedly mounted on the fixed tube 6, the support tube 1 rotatably mounted inside the motor base 4, a switch 5 mounted on the side of the motor base 4, an installation hole formed at one end of the fixed tube 6, a connecting tube 8 movably mounted inside the installation hole, a movable seat 10 fixed to one end of the connecting tube 8, a support mechanism 9 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the movable seat 10, the support mechanism 9 movably mounted on the side of the connecting tube 8, one end of the support mechanism 9 fixed to the fixed tube 6, the support mechanism 9 being a support spring, the support spring pushing the movable seat 10 towards the flexible tube 11 by its own elastic force, after the movable seat 10 moves, the annular seat 16 retracts inside the opening 12, completing the compression deformation of the elastic tube 2.
[0019] In this embodiment, one end of the elastic tube 2 has an opening 12. A cleaning component 3 is movably installed inside the opening 12. The cleaning component 3 includes a ring seat 16, which is movably installed inside the opening 12. A movable tube 14 is fixed to the side of the ring seat 16. A limiting ring 13 is fixed on the inner wall of the opening 12, and the limiting ring 13 cooperates with the ring seat 16. A groove 15 is formed on the movable tube 14, and a through hole 17 is formed on the inner wall of the groove 15. One end of the movable tube 14 is fixed to a connecting tube 8. After the liquid inside the connecting tube 8 enters the movable tube 14, the liquid is sprayed out from the through hole 17 on the inner wall of the groove 15, uniformly cleaning the inner wall of the ear canal.
[0020] In this embodiment, a flexible hose 11 is fixed to one end of the connecting pipe 8, and the flexible hose 11 is rotatably mounted on the connecting pipe 8 through a sealing bushing. A drive motor is fixedly installed inside the motor base 4, and a drive gear 20 is fixedly installed on the drive motor. A driven gear 18 is rotatably mounted on the side of the drive gear 20, and the driven gear 18 is fixedly mounted on the support pipe 1. A heat dissipation hole is opened inside the motor base 4, and a filter plate is fixed inside the heat dissipation hole. A motor frame is fixedly installed inside the motor base 4, and the drive motor is fixedly mounted on the motor frame. The drive motor drives the drive gear 20 to rotate, and the drive gear 20 drives the driven gear 18 and the support pipe 1 to rotate. When the support pipe 1 rotates, the elastic tube 2 rotates and rubs and cleans the ear canal.
[0021] Working principle: In use, one end of the flexible tube 11 is connected to the external injection molding machine. Initially, the support tube 1 and the elastic tube 2 are inserted into the ear canal. The support tube 1 itself is a rigid rubber tube. When the support tube 1 pushes the elastic tube 2 in, the movable seat 10 is pressed. The movable seat 10 pushes the connecting tube 8 inward a certain distance, so that the ring seat 16 loses its pressure on the elastic tube 2. The elastic tube 2 enters the ear canal with its minimum diameter. After the elastic tube 2 has entered to the specified depth, the movable seat 10 is pressed again. The movable seat 10 is exposed and opened outward through the connecting tube 8, the movable tube 14, and the ring seat 16. The external syringe injects cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid is sprayed out from the through hole 17 to multiple positions in the ear canal. After the cleaning fluid is sprayed, the movable seat 10 is released, and the support mechanism 9 generates... The thrust pushes the movable seat 10 and the connecting tube 8 to move. When the connecting tube 8 moves, the movable tube 14 and the ring seat 16 enter the interior of the opening 12. The ring seat 16 is limited after contacting the limiting ring 13. Through the rebound force generated by the support mechanism 9, the ring seat 16 pushes one end of the elastic tube 2 to deform. The deformation pushes the middle position of the elastic tube 2 to bulge. After the diameter of the elastic tube 2 increases, it fits against the inner wall of the ear canal. The drive motor is started. The active gear 20 and the driven gear 18 cooperate to drive the support tube 1 to rotate. The rotation of the support tube 1 causes the surface of the elastic tube 2 to rub and clean the inner wall of the ear canal. Later, when the support tube 1 drives the elastic tube 2 to be taken out, the ring groove 19 on the side of the elastic tube 2 completes the scraping and cleaning of the inner wall of the ear canal, thus performing multiple cleanings to complete the cleaning of the ear canal.
