Abstract

The present invention discloses a positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection, and relates to the technical field of health care. The nasal cavity cleaner consists of a nose washing end, an upper shell, a core module, a control module, a lower shell, a liquid reservoir and a waste reservoir, wherein the nose washing end is rotatably connected to a top portion of the upper shell, and the nose washing end consists of a silicone washing nozzle, a silicone backflow nozzle and a rotary connecting base. The nasal cavity cleaner uses positive pressure and automatic pressure relief structures to obtain safe and constant air pressure, and then presses normal saline into the nasal cavity to clean the nasal cavity, so that pressure in the nasal cavity is small and stable during cleaning, which prevents damage to the nasal cavity and ear canal, thus being safer to use. Besides, deeper areas can be washed, nasal scabs in the nasal cavity can be moistened and removed, harmful substances such as dust in the nasal cavity can be removed, the nasal cavity can be moistened, and normal swing of nasal cilia can be recovered, which are helpful in treating rhinitis and preventing the onset of allergic rhinitis.

the nose washing end is rotatable, such that inflow and outflow directions of the cleaning liquid inside nostrils are capable of being changed.

2 . The positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 1 , wherein the nose washing end, the cleaning liquid container and the waste liquid recovery container are all detachably connected to the shell of the cleaner.

3 . The positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 2 , wherein the nose washing end comprises two silicone nozzles, and when the two silicone nozzles are inserted into the nasal cavity, a flow passage of liquid flowing out of the cleaning liquid container, passing through the nasal cavity and then flowing into the waste liquid recovery container is formed.

4 . The positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 2 , wherein the mechanical pressure relief part is a pressure relief valve, and a preset pressure value of the pressure relief valve is adjustable.

5 . The positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 1 , wherein the electronic feedback part comprises an air pressure sensor arranged in a passage of the positive pressure source, the air pressure sensor sends air pressure data to a feedback module, and the control module adjusts an output of the positive pressure source according to the air pressure data received by the feedback module to stabilize water pressure in the water passage.

6 . The positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 5 , wherein the feedback module is provided with at least two settings, which are controlled by switches, and each setting corresponds to a preset water pressure value.

7 . A use method of the positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 1 , comprising the following steps:

S1. checking whether the cleaner is able to work properly;

S2. after confirming that the cleaner is able to work properly, preparing a nasal wash and loading the nasal wash into the cleaner, wherein an appropriate amount of warm normal saline is loaded into the cleaning liquid container as needed;

S3. installing the cleaning liquid container onto a cleaner body;

S4. holding the cleaner with a key facing a human body, and moving the nose washing end toward the nostrils so as to be inserted into the nostrils, and ensuring that the nose washing end completely blocks the nostrils;

S5. pressing the key to start nasal cavity cleaning; and

S6. removing the waste liquid recovery container.

8 . The use method of the positive-pressure double-nozzle nasal cavity cleaner featuring double pressure protection of claim 7 , wherein a temperature of the cleaning liquid in S2 is 37° C.
