Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an oral cavity detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most dental clinics use wired intraoral probing technology to diagnose dental problems.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a circuit diagram illustrating the structural principle of an oral cavity detection device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 1 The oral cavity detection device includes an intraoral detector 100 and a handheld X-ray source 200. The intraoral detector 100 includes at least a placement angle acquisition module 101, an image acquisition module 102, a first control module 103, and a first wireless module 104. The handheld X-ray source 200 includes at least a handheld angle acquisition module 201, a second control module 202, a second wireless module 203, and a display module 204. The placement angle acquisition module 101 acquires the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 and sends it to the first control module 103. The first control module 103 transmits the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 to the second wireless module 203 via the first wireless module 104. The handheld angle acquisition module 201 acquires the current handheld angle of the handheld X-ray source 200 and transmits it to the second wireless module 204. Module 202; The second control module 202 is used to acquire the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 through the second wireless module 203, and display the current placement angle and the current handheld angle through the display module 204, so that the operator can match the current placement angle and the current handheld angle according to the display information of the display module 204; The image acquisition module 102 is used to acquire image information of the target tooth after receiving the X-ray emitted by the handheld X-ray source 200 and send it to the first control module 103; The first control module 103 is also used to send the image information of the target tooth to the second wireless module 203 through the first wireless module 104; The second control module 202 is also used to acquire the image information of the target tooth through the second wireless module 203, process the image information of the target tooth and display it through the display module 204.

[0032] The first control module 103 and the second control module 202 can be central processing units (CPUs). The first wireless module 104 and the second wireless module 203 can be Wi-Fi modules, etc. The display module 204 can be a display screen.

[0033] The intraoral detector 100 is relatively small in size, measuring only 24mm-32mm wide and 32mm-43mm long, and its imaging area can cover 1-3 teeth. Furthermore, its smooth, rounded edges allow patients to comfortably hold it in their mouths and close their teeth during the examination. Compared to existing technologies, it occupies less space, has a higher imaging success rate, and significantly improves the patient experience.

[0034] The intraoral detector 100 and the handheld X-ray source 200 communicate via a first wireless module 104 and a second wireless module 203. Compared to existing technologies, this eliminates the need for complex wiring harnesses. After being inserted directly into the oral cavity, the patient can completely close their teeth without needing to shout out the wiring harness. Its simple structure makes it easy to operate. Furthermore, doctors no longer need to operate outside the lead-lined room; they can operate directly face-to-face with the patient, reducing the pain of repeated X-rays. It also eliminates redundant and cumbersome cables in the treatment room, making storage and use convenient and quick, and the communication connection is not affected by wiring harness issues.

[0035] The placement angle acquisition module 101 is electrically connected to the first control module 103, and is used to detect and acquire the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 in the mouth of the person being probed (such as a patient) and send it to the first control module 103. The first control module 103 is electrically connected to the first wireless module 104, and the first wireless module 104 is wirelessly connected to the second wireless module 203. The second wireless module 203 is in turn electrically connected to the second control module 202. The first control module 103 sends the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 to the second control module 202 through the first wireless module 103 and the second wireless module 203. The handheld angle acquisition module 201 is electrically connected to the second control module 202, and is used to detect and acquire the current handheld angle of the handheld radiation source 200 in the hand of the operator (such as a doctor) and send it to the second control module 202. The second control module 202 is also electrically connected to the display module 204. It is used to send the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 and the current handheld angle of the handheld X-ray source 200 to the display module 204 for display. This allows the operator to intuitively match the placement and handheld angles according to the angle matching requirements. Thus, the operator can visually observe the placement and handheld angles through the display module 204 and adjust the spatial orientation of the handheld X-ray source 200 to match the spatial orientation of the intraoral detector 100 by swinging the handheld X-ray source 200. Because the current angular state (or orientation) of both can be visually observed through the display module, angle matching is easy to operate and achieve, thereby improving the accuracy and operability of the detection. The angle matching requirements can be set according to actual shooting angles and other requirements, and are not specifically limited here.

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the angle matching between the intraoral detector 100 and the handheld X-ray source provided in this embodiment of the invention. For example, the matching state between the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 and the current holding angle of the handheld X-ray source 200 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the X-axis of the intraoral detector is parallel to the X-axis of the handheld X-ray source 200, the Y-axis of the intraoral detector is parallel to the Y-axis of the handheld X-ray source 200, and the Z-axis of the intraoral detector is parallel to the Z-axis of the handheld X-ray source 200.

[0037] Specifically, after the angle between the intraoral detector 100 and the handheld X-ray source 200 is matched, the operator emits X-rays towards the intraoral detector 100 through the handheld X-ray source 200. The image acquisition module 102 is electrically connected to the first control module 103. After receiving the X-rays emitted by the handheld X-ray source 200, the image acquisition module 102 acquires image information of the target tooth and sends it to the first control module 103. After receiving the image information of the target tooth, the first control module 103 transmits it to the second wireless module 203 through the first wireless module 104. The second control module 202 acquires the image information of the target tooth through the second wireless module 203, performs AD conversion and image processing on the image information, and finally displays the processed image information of the target tooth through the display module 204. This realizes intraoral dental radiography, and the radiography can be taken instantly, greatly improving the efficiency of oral examination.

[0038] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the implementation process of the oral cavity detection device is as follows: (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2When performing an oral examination on a subject (such as a patient), the intraoral detector 100 is placed in the subject's mouth and held in place (the patient's teeth are closed, and there is no need to forcefully open their mouth), while the operator (such as a doctor) holds the handheld radiation source 200. The placement angle acquisition module 101 of the intraoral detector 100 continuously detects and acquires the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 in the patient's mouth and sends it to the first control module 103. The first control module 103 then transmits the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 to the second control module 202 via the first wireless module 103 and the second wireless module 203. Simultaneously, the handheld angle acquisition module 201 continuously detects and acquires the current holding angle of the handheld radiation source 200 in the operator's (such as a doctor's) hand and sends it to the second control module 202. The second control module 202 sends the current placement angle of the intraoral detector 100 and the current handheld angle of the handheld X-ray source 200 to the display module 204 for display. The operator uses the placement and handheld angles displayed on the display module 204 to match the angles of the handheld X-ray source 200 and the intraoral detector 100 according to the angle matching requirements. Once the angles are matched and maintained, the operator emits X-rays from the handheld X-ray source 200 towards the intraoral detector 100. After receiving the X-rays emitted by the handheld X-ray source 200, the image acquisition module 102 acquires image information of the target tooth and sends it to the first control module 103. The first control module 103 receives the image information of the target tooth and sends it to the second wireless module 203 via the first wireless module 104. The second control module 202 acquires the image information of the target tooth through the second wireless module 203, processes the image information, and displays the processed image information through the display module 204. This achieves intraoral dental radiography, and the radiographs can be taken instantly, greatly improving the efficiency of oral examination. The operator can intuitively observe the placement and handheld angles through the display module 204, making angle matching easy to operate and achieve, thereby improving the accuracy and operability of the detection. Compared with existing technologies, on the one hand, it eliminates the need for complex wiring harnesses, occupies less space, greatly simplifies the equipment structure, reduces complexity, and lowers costs; on the other hand, patients do not need to forcefully bite down on the detector, allowing for comfortable sublingual placement, significantly improving the patient experience. Furthermore, the intraoral detector and the handheld X-ray source are connected wirelessly, a simple and easy-to-implement communication method that eliminates concerns about wiring interference, ensuring reliable communication and thus improving detection accuracy.

[0039] The technical solution of this embodiment provides an oral cavity detection device, which includes an intraoral detector and a handheld X-ray source. The intraoral detector includes at least a placement angle acquisition module, an image acquisition module, a first control module, and a first wireless module. The handheld X-ray source includes at least a handheld angle acquisition module, a second control module, a second wireless module, and a display module. The placement angle acquisition module acquires the current placement angle of the intraoral detector and sends it to the first control module. The first control module transmits the current placement angle of the intraoral detector to the second wireless module via the first wireless module. The handheld angle acquisition module acquires the current handheld angle of the handheld X-ray source and transmits it to the second wireless module. The system comprises a control module and a second control module. The second control module acquires the current placement angle of the intraoral detector via a second wireless module and displays the current placement angle and current handheld angle via a display module, allowing the operator to match the current placement angle and handheld angle based on the information displayed. An image acquisition module acquires image information of the target tooth after receiving X-rays from a handheld X-ray source and sends it to the first control module. The first control module also transmits the image information of the target tooth to the second wireless module via a first wireless module. The second control module acquires the image information of the target tooth via the second wireless module, processes the image information, and displays it via the display module. Therefore, this oral detection device enables intraoral tooth radiography, with instant image capture, significantly improving oral detection efficiency. Furthermore, the operator can visually observe the placement angle and handheld angle via the display module, making angle matching easy and efficient, thus improving the accuracy and operability of the detection. Compared to existing technologies, this new method offers several advantages. First, it eliminates the need for complex wiring harnesses, occupies less space, and significantly simplifies the device structure, reducing complexity and cost. Second, patients can comfortably sublingually place the intraoral detector without having to bite down, greatly improving the patient experience. Furthermore, the intraoral detector connects wirelessly to the handheld X-ray source, a simple and easy-to-implement communication method that eliminates concerns about wiring interference, ensuring reliable communication and thus enhancing detection accuracy.

[0040] Based on the above implementation scheme, as a specific implementation method, optionally, the placement angle acquisition module 101 and the handheld angle acquisition module 201 are gyroscope sensors.

[0041] The gyroscope sensor can be a three-axis gyroscope, a six-axis gyroscope, a nine-axis gyroscope, etc. The specific settings can be made according to the actual situation, and no specific limitations are made here.

[0042] Optionally, the image acquisition module is a CMOS image sensor.

[0043] The CMOS image sensor includes a CMOS photoelectric array and a CMOS photosensitive area.

[0044] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the disassembled structure of the intraoral detector provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, refer to... Figure 3 The intraoral detector 100 also includes an upper shell 11, a reflective layer 12, a waterproof layer 13, a scintillator 14, and a lower shell 15; wherein the upper shell 11, the reflective layer 12, the waterproof layer 13, the scintillator 14, the image acquisition module 102, the first control module 103, and the lower shell 15 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom.

[0045] The reflective layer 12 can be composed of metals or metal oxides such as pure aluminum, aluminum oxide, and silver, with a thickness ranging from 20 to 100 μm. The waterproof layer 13 can be made of chemically deposited materials such as perylene or silicon dioxide, with a thickness between 10 and 36 μm. The scintillator 14 typically refers to cesium iodide, which is directly deposited onto the CMOS photosensitive area, with a thickness generally between 80 and 150 μm. Both the waterproof layer 13 and the scintillator 14 can be made of cesium iodide containing a waterproof layer.

[0046] Optionally, the intraoral detector 100 also includes a first antenna 109, and the handheld X-ray source also includes a second antenna (not shown); the first antenna 109 is electrically connected to the first wireless module 104, and the second antenna is electrically connected to the second wireless module 203.

[0047] The principle of the intraoral detector 200 in imaging the target tooth is as follows: when a beam of X-rays penetrates the target tooth and hits the CMOS photosensitive area, the scintillator on the CMOS photosensitive area converts the invisible X-rays into visible light. The visible light then hits the CMOS photoelectric array to change the output signal of the field-effect transistor drain (i.e., to complete the imaging of the target tooth). Finally, the first control module 103 completes the acquisition of image data and transmits it to the first wireless module 104. The first wireless module 104 then transmits it to the second wireless module 203 in the handheld X-ray source 200 through the first antenna 109. The second antenna of the handheld X-ray source 200 receives the image information of the target tooth and transmits it to the second control module 202. The second control module 202 performs A / D conversion and other actions to perform image post-processing. Finally, the image is displayed on the display module 204 of the handheld X-ray source.

[0048] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the matching state between the handheld fixing device and the intraoral detector provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 This is a structural schematic diagram of the second side of the lower shell provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, refer to... Figures 3 to 5The oral cavity detection device also includes a handheld fixing device 300, which includes at least a collar 301, a support rod 302 and a handheld part 303; the first surface 151 of the lower shell 15 is provided with a protruding structure 105 that cooperates with the collar 301, and the second surface 152 of the lower shell 15 is provided with a recessed structure 106 that is opposite to the protruding structure 105.

[0049] The support rod 302 is fixedly connected to the collar 301 and the handheld part 303. The support rod 302 can be made of resin.

[0050] For example, the first surface 151 of the lower shell 15 can be the outside, and the second surface 152 of the lower shell 15 can be the inside.

[0051] Before placing the intraoral probe 100 into the mouth of the person being tested (such as a patient), the handheld fixing device 300 can be firmly fixed to the intraoral probe 100 by engaging the protruding structure 105 of the lower shell 15 of the intraoral probe 100 with the collar 301. Then, the person being tested can hold the holding part 303 and insert the intraoral probe into their oral cavity for oral administration. By setting the handheld fixing device 300, the person being tested (such as a patient) can easily fix the probe in their oral cavity, so that the intraoral probe will not shake, thus facilitating the smooth conduct of the test.

[0052] It should be noted that the protruding structure that mates with the collar 301 can also be set on the upper shell. The specific setting can be made according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0053] Optionally, the collar 301 has the same shape as the protrusion structure 105; the shape of the collar 301 is either a polygon or a circle.

[0054] The shape of the ring 301 can be a polygonal structure such as a quadrilateral, pentagon, or hexagon, or it can be a circular structure. The specific shape can be set according to the actual situation, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0055] In addition, refer to Figure 5 The lower shell 15 of the intraoral detector is also equipped with a power indicator light 21 and a magnetic charging point 22.

[0056] Figure 6 This is a structural schematic diagram of the storage compartment provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Optionally, refer to... Figure 6 The oral cavity detection device also includes a storage compartment 400 for storing the intraoral detector.

[0057] The size of the storage compartment 400 is similar to that of the intraoral detector 100, making it small in size and easy to store and carry.

[0058] Optionally, the storage compartment 400 is provided with magnetic charging contacts 401 and a display screen 402.

[0059] The storage compartment 400 is equipped with an embedded magnetic charging contact 401 for convenient charging of the intraoral detector 100. During charging, the magnetic charging point 22 of the intraoral detector 100 is brought into contact with the magnetic charging contact 401 of the storage compartment 400 to establish a charging connection.

[0060] The storage compartment 400 is equipped with a display screen 402, which is used to display the power information of the storage compartment 400 and / or the intraoral detector 100.

[0061] Figure 7 This is a circuit connection diagram of an oral cavity detection device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. (Reference) Figures 2 to 7 The intraoral detector also includes a power module 107 and a power management module 108. The power module 108 is disposed in the recessed structure 106. The power management module 108 is electrically connected to the power module 107, the first control module 103 and the first wireless module 104 respectively.

[0062] The power module 107 can be a battery pack. Placing the power module 107 within the recessed structure 106 of the lower housing saves space, facilitates smaller size design, and consequently improves patient comfort during testing.

[0063] The power management module 108 can be a power management chip, used to convert the power output from the power module 107 into the power supply voltage required by the first control module 103 and the first wireless module 104.

[0064] In addition, refer to Figure 6 The intraoral detector 100 also includes a driving circuit 23, which is electrically connected to the CMOS opto-array 1021, the gyroscope 1011, the first control module 103, and the power management module 108. The power management module 108 is also used to convert the power supply voltage output by the power module 107 into the power supply voltage required by the driving circuit 23.
