Obviously, the described embodiments represent only a subset of the embodiments of the utility model and not all existing embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art could achieve without inventive work fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] To clarify the technical solutions and the advantages of the utility model, the embodiments of the utility model are described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] With reference to Fig. 1 - Fig. The overall structure of this high-resolution, visually inspectable wireless ear spoon mainly comprises a mechanical support, a housing, and the internal electronic system. The housing 1 forms the main body of the product and is provided with an external non-slip surface to increase stability during handling and operational safety. The slim guide tube 2 is fixed to the front end of the housing 1 and serves to route the internal wiring. The end of the guide tube 2 is firmly connected to the housing 1 by a plug 8 to ensure the structural stability. The ear spoon 3, as the central design element, is connected to the clamping slot 21 located inside the front of the guide tube 2 by a clamping block 31 attached to its end, thus enabling a detachable connection.This clamping connection allows the ear spoon 3 to be conveniently removed for cleaning, disinfection or replacement, which significantly improves the hygiene of the product.

[0024] At the front end of the guide tube 2, a camera 4, integrated as a visual sensor, is installed with its lens facing forward. One or more illuminating lights 41 are arranged around the camera 4. During operation, these lights illuminate the ear canal to ensure clear image capture.
