Abstract

The present invention relates to an underwater ear plug, the sound insulation ring being closely inserted with respect to the circumferential direction of the ear canal and forming a hollow air passage; An earplug frame connected to one end of the sound insulation ring; A silicone rubber film installed opposite the sound insulation ring of the earplug frame and communicating with an air passage of the sound insulation ring and contracting or expanding by hydraulic pressure; It is installed on the outer surface side of the earplug frame and characterized in that it comprises a protective cover formed with a water inlet and drainage passage so as to protect the state in which the silicone rubber film is wrapped and the water pressure can be transmitted to the silicone rubber film.
Accordingly, damage to the tympanic membrane can be prevented and pain can be prevented from occurring in the ear canal.

Description

Ear plugs underwater {ear plugs underwater}

The present invention relates to underwater earplugs, and more particularly, to underwater earplugs that can be worn in deep water.

In general, ear plugs that can be used at thin depths are solved by simply plugging the ears, but when the depth is deep, the pressure due to water pressure not only causes pain in the ear (ear canal), but also severely damages the eardrum.
That is, general earplugs have a drawback that they are used only in limited places such as a pool.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to prevent water from entering the ear when diving, and also to suppress the occurrence of pain in the ear canal, deep water To provide an underwater earplug that can protect the eardrum even under pressure.

In order to achieve the above object, the underwater earplug according to the present invention,
A sound insulation ring inserted closely with respect to the circumferential direction of the ear canal and forming a hollow air passage;
An earplug frame connected to one end of the sound insulation ring;
A silicone rubber film installed opposite the sound insulation ring of the earplug frame and communicating with an air passage of the sound insulation ring and contracting or expanding by hydraulic pressure;
It is installed on the outside of the earplug frame and wrapped in the silicon rubber film, characterized in that it comprises a protective cover formed with a water inlet and drainage passage so that the water pressure can be transmitted to the silicon rubber film.

According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, in the process of shrinking the silicone rubber film installed on the opposite side of the sound insulation ring of the earplug frame, the filled air enters the external auditory meatus to maintain water pressure and pressure equilibrium to prevent damage to the eardrum. And pain in the ear canal.

1 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of an underwater earplug according to an embodiment of the present invention.
2 is a cross-sectional view showing the action of the underwater earplug according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

As shown, the underwater earplug according to the present invention is closely inserted with respect to the circumferential direction of the ear canal and connected to the sound insulation ring 6, which forms a hollow air passage 5, and to one end of the sound insulation ring 6. Silicone rubber membrane which is installed opposite the earplug frame 3 and the sound insulation ring 6 of the earplug frame 3 and communicates with the air passage 5 of the sound insulation ring 6 and contracts or expands by hydraulic pressure. (4) and the water inlet and drainage passage (2) installed outside the earplug frame (3) and installed to surround the silicone rubber membrane (4) and to transmit water pressure to the silicone rubber membrane (4). It is configured to include a protective cover (1) formed.
First, the sound insulation ring 6 is inserted into the ear canal of the wearer, and serves to prevent water from invading into the ear canal.
Around the outer circumference of the sound insulation ring 6 is formed a plurality of close contact portion (6a) in close contact with the inner diameter of the outer ear canal.
The close contact portion 6a has a stepped structure in which the diameter gradually decreases toward the inside of the ear canal.
In addition, a hollow air passage 5 is formed in the sound insulation ring 6 so that air filled in the silicone rubber film 4 to be described later can flow into the outer ear canal.
The earplug frame 3 is connected to one end of the sound insulation ring 6.
Since the earplug frame 3 is connected to the sound insulation ring 6, the sound insulation ring 6 may be prevented from being pushed into the ear canal.

On the other hand, the silicone rubber film 4 is installed on the opposite side of the sound insulation ring 6 of the earplug frame 3, and serves to shrink or expand according to the water pressure.
The silicone rubber film 4 has an air filling part 7 filled with air therein, and the air filling part 7 communicates with the air passage 5 of the sound insulation ring 6.
That is, when the pressure in the water that pressurizes the silicone rubber film 4 becomes high, the air filled in the silicone rubber film 4 moves to the external ear canal through the air passage 5 of the sound insulation ring 6. The pressure in the ear canal is kept constant.
In other words, it is possible to prevent the eardrum from being damaged by entering the air into the external auditory meatus while maintaining the water pressure and pressure equilibrium in the process of shrinking the silicone rubber film 4.
As shown in the figure, the silicone rubber film 4 is coupled in a sealed state along the circumference of the ear plug frame 3.
In addition, the protective cover 1 is installed to be coupled to the outside of the earplug frame (3), while protecting the silicone rubber film (4) in a state of wrapping and easily transfer the water pressure to the silicone rubber film (4). The water inflow and outflow passage 2 is formed so that it may become.

1: Protective cover
2: water intake and drainage passage
3: earplug frame
4: silicone rubber film
5: air passage
6: sound insulation ring
7: air charging unit
