Detailed implementation manners

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, a remotely controllable oral flora collection device described in this embodiment includes a body 1 and a handle 2 connected in a pistol shape, and the surface of the handle 2 is provided with anti-slip patterns; the front end of the body 1 is connected to an adjusting rod 3, and the adjusting rod 3 is a hose that can be bent and shaped arbitrarily; the collection component 4 is connected to the adjusting rod 3 through a top thread.

[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the bottom of the collection component 4 is provided with a lighting bulb 5, a camera 6, and a bacteria collection brush head 7; a display screen 8 connected to the camera 6 is hinged on the body 1, and one side of the display screen 8 can be fixed at an arbitrarily adjustable angle for the operator to observe the captured image; a screen switch 9 for controlling the display screen 8 is also provided on the body 1, and the screen switch 9 is a touch display screen that can control the switch of the camera and the magnification and reduction of the image; a lighting switch 10 for controlling the lighting bulb 5 and a camera switch 11 for controlling the camera 6 are provided on the handle 2; a power supply device electrically connected to the camera 6, the display screen 8, and the screen switch 9 is installed inside the handle 2.

[0029] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a groove matching the convex groove 41 at the bottom of the collection component 4 is provided at the top of the bacteria collection brush head 7 for clamping connection.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, a spring device for ejecting the bacteria collection brush head 7 is installed inside the collection component 4, including a central push rod 42 sleeved with a vertical spring 43, a through hole is provided at the center of the convex groove 41 for the central push rod 42 to extend out, a pressing block 45 connected to a horizontal spring 44 is provided on the upper part of the side wall of the collection component 4, and the pressing block 45 and the central push rod 42 are mutually clamped through an inclined block 46. When the operator presses the pressing block 45, the inclined block 46 pushes the central push rod 42 to extend downward through the through hole, and the bacteria collection brush head 7 can be ejected; when the operator cancels the pressure on the pressing block 45, the spring 44 pushes the pressing block 45 back to its original position, and the central push rod 42 is reset immediately.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown, the lighting bulb 5 is an LED bulb and is distributed in a circle around the through hole at the bottom of the collection component 4.

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, the bacteria-taking brush head 7 is divided into two types: pointed head and flat head. The pointed head brush head can take colonies in relatively corner areas such as tooth gaps, and the flat head brush head can take colonies in relatively broad areas.

[0033] When the operator uses this device, he can hold the handle 2 with one hand and control the corresponding component operations through the screen switch 9, the lighting switch 10, and the camera switch 11; the shooting position of the camera in the oral cavity can be arbitrarily adjusted through the adjusting rod 3, which is convenient for the operator to observe relatively hidden parts in the oral cavity. The operator can choose a pointed or flat bacteria-taking brush head 7 according to actual needs for bacteria-taking operations. After the bacteria-taking is completed, only need to press the pressing block 45, and the bacteria-taking brush head 7 can be ejected through the spring device, avoiding the problem of contamination caused by the operator's direct contact.
