Because the ear device is manufactured by an industrial production line in a unified way, the stimulation mode of the ear device can be standardized and normalized, namely, the quality of stimulation actions can be controlled uniformly from the source, and the experience quality of the stimulation actions can be ensured.

The term "the part is provided on the casing" means that the part may be provided entirely on the outside of the casing 10, entirely on the inside of the casing 10, or partially on the outside of the casing 10 or partially on the inside of the casing 10. The first controller 96 may be an electronic component including a processor for controlling the driving assembly 20 by circuit signals, for example, configured as a printed circuit or an integrated circuit; or may be manually operated by a user, such as a crank or a push-pull rod, for example, which is used to swing or push, the crank rotates the driving assembly 20 and the ear canal acting element 30 thereon, or the push-pull rod moves the driving assembly 20 and the ear canal acting element 30 thereon in a telescopic motion. In embodiments where the first controller 96 is configured as a printed circuit or an integrated circuit, the first controller 96 is electrically connected to the driving assembly 20, and the first controller 96 can adjust the on/off and operational parameters of the driving assembly 20, such as the driving assembly 20 is a rotary motor, the ear canal activator 30 is a massage feather, and the rotary motor drives the massage feather to perform rotational massage in the external ear canal, the first controller 96 can adjust the rotation speed of the driving assembly 20, thereby adjusting the rotation speed or direction of the ear canal activator 30, and thus implementing a multi-functional, multi-operational mode of use of the ear device.

Specifically, in the vibration stimulation mode, the driving assembly 20 may be configured as a vibration motor (a trochanter motor or a linear motor), and the ear canal activator 30 is configured as a vibrator connected to the vibration motor, the vibrator extending into the external auditory canal, abutting and transmitting the vibration to the epidermis of the external auditory canal, thereby achieving stimulation of the external auditory canal and/or the vagus nerve. Of course, it is also possible that the driving assembly 20 includes a rotating motor, a controller electrically connected to the rotating motor, and a pendulum drivingly connected to the rotating motor, the ear canal effector 30 is configured as a tuning fork, the controller is configured to send a pulse signal to control the rotating motor to operate regularly, the rotating motor is configured to drive the pendulum to strike the tuning fork, and the tuning fork vibrates (shakes) and contacts the external auditory canal after being struck, so as to stimulate the external auditory canal and/or the vagus nerve.

In the first embodiment, the canal acting element 30 includes a mounting portion 31 drivingly connected to the driving element 20, and a canal massage element 32 provided on the mounting portion 31, the canal massage element 32 being configured to move within the external ear canal and contact the external auditory canal. Therefore, the driving component 20 drives the mounting part 31 and the ear canal massage part 32 thereon to move in the external ear canal, so that the ear canal massage part 32 can movably contact with the epidermis of the external ear canal, thereby achieving the effects of stimulating the vagus nerve and relaxing the body and mind, and having simple structure and stable and reliable operation. Specifically, the ear canal massage member 32 may be driven by the driving unit 20 to perform a rotational motion in the external ear canal or a forward and backward motion with respect to the external ear canal.

Referring to fig. 3, in the first embodiment, the ear canal massage member 32 includes a first hair portion 321, and the first hair portion 321 is used for contacting the external auditory canal. Specifically, the first hair-shaped portion 321 can be configured as natural fiber, chemical fiber, or elastic material, that is, a hair-shaped single body is prepared by using raw materials such as natural fiber, chemical fiber, or elastic material, and a plurality of hair-shaped single bodies can be combined into a bundle or a ball as required to form a structure such as feather, silica gel soft brush, hair brush, or cotton swab; of course, only one single hair-like body, for example, one horsetail hair, may be used as the first hair-like portion 321. It is to be noted that the natural fibers include plant fibers including cotton, hemp, flax, and the like, and animal fibers including animal hair such as horsetail, pig hair, goat hair, or feather; the chemical fiber comprises artificial fiber and synthetic fiber, wherein the artificial fiber comprises artificial protein fiber, viscose fiber, acetate fiber, cuprammonium fiber and the like, and the synthetic fiber comprises terylene, chinlon, acrylic fiber and the like; the elastic material includes silica gel, rubber, and elastic PVC (Polyvinyl chloride). Thus, since natural fibers, chemical fibers, or elastic materials are easily obtained or prepared, and the related industrial production technology is mature, the manufacturing cost of the first hair portion 321 can be effectively reduced. The first hair-like portion 321 made of these natural fibers or chemical fibers can be made into a hair-like shape and made of a single material to be fine and soft, thereby providing a good touch stimulation effect. Of course, in other embodiments, the first hair portion may be configured as other materials capable of being made into soft hair, or materials capable of being made into a flexible body or an elastic body, such as a foaming sponge.

In addition, when the ear canal activator 30 is configured as exceptionally light feathers such as duck or goose down, the first driver may be configured as a vibrator that releases vibrational energy through the tuning fork, the vibrational energy generated by the vibrator being capable of propagating through air to the feathers and causing them to produce a vibrating effect. Alternatively or additionally, the first driving member may be configured as an audio player, which not only provides the user with a music function, but also utilizes the sound wave energy to drive the feathers into vibration and stimulate the external auditory canal, thereby achieving a dual effect.

Referring to fig. 3, in the first embodiment, the first hair-like portion 321 has an installation section 321a, a massage section 321b and a supporting section 321c connected between the installation section 321a and the massage section 321b, the massage section 321b is used for contacting and stimulating the external auditory canal, the installation section 321a is connected to the installation section 31, and the ear canal massage element 32 further includes a reinforcing portion 322 disposed on the supporting section 321 c. Specifically, the mounting portion is provided with a mounting hole 31b corresponding to the mounting section 321a, the mounting section 321a is provided in the mounting hole 31b, and the mounting section 321a is fixed in the mounting hole 31b by using glue, for example. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting segment 321a may be directly disposed on the end surface of the mounting portion 31. So, utilize reinforcing part 322 can improve the support section 321c structural strength of first hairy portion 321, do not influence the compliance of massage section 321b simultaneously again to can not only make things convenient for the user to stretch into the operation of external auditory canal with first hairy portion 321, can also reduce the risk that the ear canal massage piece 32 broke, thereby improve the life of ear canal massage piece 32.

The structure of the reinforcing part 322 has various forms, for example, in the first embodiment, the reinforcing part 322 is formed by curing and molding glue falling on the supporting section 321c, and the reinforcing part 322 (glue) is also connected with the mounting part. Specifically, glue is directly applied or dripped on the supporting section 321c of the first hairy part 321, and after the glue is cured, a plurality of hairy single bodies on the supporting section 321c can be naturally fixed into a whole, so that a good structural reinforcing effect can be performed on the supporting section 321 c. In addition, because the reinforcing part 322 (glue) is also connected with the mounting part, the reinforcing part 322 can obtain the supporting acting force from the mounting part, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the first hair-shaped part 321 and reducing the risk of the first hair-shaped part 321 being broken. Of course, in other embodiments, the reinforcing portion may be configured as a loop disposed on the outer periphery of the supporting section, and the loop is connected to the mounting portion; in addition, the loop can be configured to be made of elastic materials. So, have elastic ring cover and can not only provide certain supporting role for first hairy portion to strengthen first hairy portion structural strength, can also produce deformation when meetting powerful resistance, thereby avoid causing the problem that powerful impedance leads to the drive assembly trouble to drive assembly. Specifically, the loop may be configured as a silicone or rubber sheath or a PVC hose or the like.

Referring to fig. 1 and 3, in order to facilitate the detachment and installation of the ear canal activator 30, in the first embodiment, the driving assembly 20 includes a first driving member 21 and a transmission shaft (see the flexible transmission shaft 22 in fig. 1 or 5) drivingly connected to the first driving member 21, and the mounting portion 31 is detachably connected to the transmission shaft. As such, the ear canal acting piece 30 is easily detached to receive, clean or replace the ear canal acting piece 30, thereby improving the convenience of use of the ear device. Of course, in other embodiments, the mounting portion may be fixed on the transmission shaft, and the first hair portion may be detachably connected to the mounting portion.

Referring to fig. 3, in the first embodiment, the mounting portion 31 is magnetically attached to the transmission shaft. Specifically, the mounting portion 31 may have a magnet portion, that is, the mounting portion 31 may be entirely or partially made of a material configured as a magnet, and the transmission shaft may be made of a magnetic metal material; the transmission shaft may be configured as a magnet, and the whole or part of the mounting portion 31 may be configured as a magnetic metal material; alternatively, the drive shaft and the mounting portion 31 may be both configured as magnets. So, utilize magnetism to inhale the mounting means and both made things convenient for the dismouting, simple structure again to reduce the manufacturing cost of ear's device. Of course, referring to fig. 4, in another embodiment of the ear canal acting element, one end of the mounting portion 31 may be configured to be elastic, and may be provided with an insertion hole 31a for inserting the transmission shaft. Specifically, the mounting portion 31 may be a silicone rubber, PVC hose, or the like; the mounting portion 31 may be made of an elastic material as a whole, or may be arranged at only one end thereof.

Referring to fig. 3, in the first embodiment, the driving assembly 20 further includes a sheath tube 222 sleeved on the transmission shaft (the flexible transmission shaft 22), the sheath tube 222 is provided with a cylindrical hole 22a corresponding to the mounting portion, one end of the mounting portion 31 can be inserted into the cylindrical hole 22a and magnetically attached to the transmission shaft (the flexible transmission shaft 22), and a portion of the mounting portion 31 inserted into the cylindrical hole 22a is configured as a cylinder. Specifically, normally, the mounting portion 31 will rotate together with the transmission shaft under the magnetic attraction acting force, but if the mounting portion 31 receives strong external resistance in the rotation process, for example, the mounting portion 31 is abutted by the skin of the external auditory canal, or the ear canal acting element 30 is abutted by a foreign object in the external auditory canal and bears large resistance, so that the resistance moment is larger than the magnetic attraction moment, the mounting portion 31 no longer maintains the state of rotating synchronously with the transmission shaft, but can rotate relative to the cylindrical hole 22a, thereby avoiding the problem that the mounting portion 31 or the ear canal acting element 30 forcibly maintains the state of rotating synchronously with the transmission shaft and causes injury to the user. That is, the effect of magnetism can provide certain drive moment for installation department 31 to make installation department 31 and transmission shaft synchronous revolution, nevertheless can let the relative cylinder hole 22a of cylinder rotatory when meetting strong resistance again, thereby when making duct effect piece 30 meet abnormal resistance in outer duct, can avoid causing the problem of injury to the user. It should be noted that the transmission shaft may be a common linear rotating shaft, and may also be a flexible transmission shaft 22. Wherein, the protecting sleeve 222 is usually directly fitted on a common driving flexible shaft 22 product in the market, and the cylindrical hole 22a may be formed at one end of the protecting sleeve 222, that is, the cylinder of the mounting portion 31 passes through the protecting sleeve 222 and is magnetically attached to the end surface of the driving flexible shaft 22 in the protecting sleeve 222. Certainly, in other embodiments, the ear device may further include a casing, the driving assembly is disposed in the casing, the casing is provided with a cylindrical hole corresponding to the mounting portion, one end of the mounting portion can be inserted into the cylindrical hole and magnetically attached to the transmission shaft, and a portion of the mounting portion inserted into the cylindrical hole is configured as a cylinder.

In the first embodiment, the canal activator 30 is provided in a plurality, and the canal massage members 32 of at least two canal activators 30 are differently configured. Specifically, the ear canal massage member 32 may have different forms in terms of structure, material, length, thickness, flexibility, etc., for example, one ear canal acting member 30 may use goose feathers as the ear canal massage member 32, another ear canal acting member 30 may also use goose feathers as the ear canal massage member 32 but may be longer or thicker than the former, and another ear canal acting member 30 may use horsetail feathers as the ear canal massage member 32. In this way, the ear canal effector 30 of a plurality of different models is provided to the user for the user to specifically select according to the personal needs and the use scene, thereby improving the user experience. Of course, in other embodiments, it is also possible that the canal massage elements 32 of all canal effectors 30 take the same form.

Referring to fig. 1 and 5, in the first embodiment, the transmission shaft is configured as a flexible transmission shaft 22, one end of the flexible transmission shaft 22 is drivingly connected to the first driving member 21, and the other end is connected to the ear canal activator 30. In this embodiment, the first driving element 21 is used to drive the flexible transmission shaft 22 to rotate, and specifically, the first driving element 21 may be one of a servo motor, a stepping motor, a hydraulic motor, and a pneumatic motor. Therefore, the advantage that the flexible transmission shaft 22 can extend along a curve is utilized, so that the arrangement space in the casing 10 can be better planned, the arrangement of the first driving piece 21 and other internal parts is more compact, and the miniaturization design of the ear device is facilitated. Of course, in other embodiments it is also possible that the first actuator directly drives the canal engaging member directly by means of its own axis of rotation.

In addition, the housing includes a proximal ear portion (see the supporting arm 120 in fig. 1 or the ear insertion portion in fig. 10) and a distal ear portion (see the wearing portion 110 in fig. 1 or the ear hanging bracket in fig. 10), the ear canal massage unit is disposed at the proximal ear portion, and the first driving member is disposed at the distal ear portion. So, under the support of flexible transmission shaft 22, make first driving piece 21 keep away from duct effect piece 30 to reduce the noise at work of first driving piece transmission to duct massage piece during operation, and then can reduce the perception degree of user to first driving piece noise at work, in order to improve user experience.

Therefore, the first driving piece 21 can drive the transmission flexible shaft 22 to rotate and the driving and reversing wheel 24 to roll at the same time, the structure of the driving assembly 20 is simplified, the miniaturization design of the ear device is facilitated, and the manufacturing cost of the ear device can be reduced. Of course, in another embodiment, two first driving members may be provided, the forward and backward rotating shaft is in driving connection with one of the first driving members, and the flexible transmission shaft is in driving connection with the other first driving member. That is, through two first driving pieces independent control transmission flexible axle and driving and reversing wheel, be favorable to making the operation logic of ear's device accomplish abundantly more changeable.

Thus, the rotation central angle of the advancing and retreating wheel 24 and the transmission flexible shaft 22 can be inconsistent, and different control modes can be implemented on the advancing and retreating wheel 24 according to the working state and the shutdown state of the ear device. Specifically, assuming that the rotation speed ratio of the first output shaft to the second output shaft is 1 and the transmission ratio of the first reduction gear 26 to the second reduction gear 27 is less than one sixth, it can be set that the first output shaft rotates in a manner of alternating forward rotation for 6 cycles and reverse rotation for 6 cycles when the ear device is in operation, and when the flexible transmission shaft 22 rotates, the convex teeth 241 on the advancing and retreating wheel 24 do not rotate for a full cycle, that is, the advancing and retreating wheel 24 is not engaged with the advancing and retreating rack 11 all the time, and is not influenced by the reaction force of the advancing and retreating rack 11, so that the first driving member 21 does not slide relative to the casing 10 (advancing and retreating rack 11). Then, the ear device is set to be in the power-off state, and the second output shaft rotates along the preset rotation direction until the teeth 241 on the advancing and retreating wheel 24 are engaged with the advancing and retreating rack 11 and drive the first driving member 21 to return to the initial position. The preset rotational direction refers to a rotational direction in which the second output shaft rotates when the second output shaft is rotated to displace the retractable wheel 24 in a direction close to its initial position (e.g., at the right end of the retractable rack 11 in fig. 6). In this way, the retractable wheel 24 can only function to reset the first driving member 21, i.e. the retractable wheel 24 does not function when the ear device is in operation, but only when the ear device is in the off state. It should be noted that the power-off state refers to that the user selects to cut off the working power supply of the ear device through the control key, but at this time, the working power supply of the ear device still does not stop supplying power, the first driving member 21 is continuously driven to rotate, and the working power supply is normally cut off after the driving and reversing wheel 24 is reset to the initial position.
