Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) This proposal concerns an automatic ear cleaner.

(Prior art and its problems) Conventionally, when cleaning the ears, ear scrapes or cotton swabs are used to scrape out ear debris, but there is a risk of damaging the ear canal or eardrum, and there is a risk of scraping other people's ear debris. There are drawbacks such as the feeling of uncleanness when removing the cloth, making it difficult to work.

(Means for Solving the Problems) This invention was researched to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional ear cleaning means. It uses a rotating cleaning stick to automatically scrape out ear debris and a suction mechanism This allows the ear debris to be collected in a predetermined place, allowing for comfortable and safe work.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the illustrated embodiment. The cleaning mechanism 1 includes a cleaning mechanism 1 and a suction mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism 1 includes a cleaning rod 5 rotatably supported on a cylinder 4 of a machine frame 3; The cleaning rod 5 has a spiral brush 7 at its tip, and the brush 7 portion is removable. The cleaning rod 5 is rotatable using a motor 8 as a driving source via a speed reduction mechanism 9.

The safety cylinder 6 has a fitting part 1 that fits into the tip of the cylinder body 4.
0 and an insertion part 11 to be inserted into an ear hole, and an auxiliary cylindrical body 12 is provided inside this fitting part 11 and is fitted between the inner wall surface of the fitting part 11 and the auxiliary cylindrical body 12. The tip of the brush 7 is inserted into the insertion portion 11 by fitting into the tip of the cylinder 4 via the spring 13.
The brush 7 is exposed from the insertion portion 11 by covering it with a spring 13 and pushing the fitting portion 10 against the spring 13. 14 is a guide groove provided in the axial direction of the fitting part 10, and 15 is a stopper to prevent the safety tube 6 from popping out.

The suction mechanism 2 consists of a fan 17 provided in a suction path 16 in the machine frame 3 that communicates with the inside of the cylinder body 4 and the safety cylinder 6, and a storage section 19 in which a filter tab 18 is arranged. It is directly connected to the shaft 20 and rotates at high speed to suction ear debris around the tip of the insertion section 11.

In the figure, 21 is a power source, and 22 is a cover.

(Function) The present invention is realized as described above, and in order to use it, first insert the insertion part 11 into the ear hole and push it against the spring 13, then insert the brush 7.
The portion protrudes from the insertion portion, and the ear debris is scraped out by rotating the motor 8. The scraped ear debris is sent out in the direction of the suction path 16 according to the spiral of the brush 7, and this sent out ear debris is sent out to the fan 1.
7 and stored in the storage section 19. The stored ear residue is thrown away by opening the storage section 19 as appropriate. The 7 parts of the brush should be disinfected and replaced after each use.

(Effects) As mentioned above, the present invention consists of a cleaning mechanism and a suction mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism consists of a cleaning rod rotatably supported on the cylindrical body of the machine frame and a safety tube that covers the tip of the cleaning rod. A spiral brush is provided at the tip of the rod that protrudes from the tip of the cylinder, and the safety tube consists of a fitting part that fits into the tip of the cylinder and an insertion part that is inserted into the ear hole. This fitting part fits onto the tip of the cylinder via a spring, allowing the tip of the brush to protrude freely, and the suction mechanism consists of a fan and a filter installed in the suction path communicating between the cylinder and the inside of the safety tube. The cleaning stick and fan are rotatable by a motor, so you can quickly scrape out ear debris by simply pushing the insertion part into the ear canal and rotating the motor. The ear debris is sequentially sent out or sucked toward the storage section, so the work can be done cleanly. Also, the safety tube restricts the depth at which the cleaning stick can penetrate into the ear hole, making it safe.
