The middle part of the horizontal rod 3 is provided with an automatic telescopic assembly 4 for driving the horizontal rod 3 to move along its axis. The bottom part of the vertical rod 5 is fixed with a hand-held rod 6. The hand-held rod 6 is provided with a control button 8. The horizontal rod 3 is controlled to extend and retract through the automatic telescopic assembly 4, so as to facilitate the control of the camera module 2 to extend into the oral cavity for shooting. The horizontal rod 3 is controlled to deflect through the automatic rotating assembly 7, so as to drive the camera module 2 at the front end of the horizontal rod 3 to deflect, thereby adjusting the shooting angle and position. When the hand-held rod 6 is operated, the control button 8 can be controlled by fingers to adjust the working of the automatic rotating assembly 7 and the automatic telescopic assembly 4, so as to flexibly control the shooting angle and shooting distance of the camera module 2, and the operation is very convenient.

[0034] In addition, the shooting intelligent controller is installed in the vertical rod 5, and the shooting intelligent controller is provided with an instruction module, a processing module and a shooting positioning module. The instruction module is electrically connected with the processing module, the control button 8 and the touch display screen respectively. The touch display screen is installed on the vertical rod 5.

The image shot by the camera module 2 can be displayed on the touch display screen through the processing module and the instruction module. The tooth position that needs to be shot can be input through the touch display screen. After the instruction module receives the control signal, the control signal is sent to the processing module. The processing module matches the corresponding tooth position according to the shooting information of the camera module 2, and sends a prompt of rapid positioning after the matching is completed, so that the auxiliary positioning operation is facilitated, and the convenience of shooting is improved. When the shooting is performed, the light sensor 15 feeds back the light intensity to the processing module. The processing module controls the light supplement lamp 9 to work according to the current light intensity, so that the specified brightness is emitted, and the oral cavity shooting requirement is met. When the mirror 11 is needed to be used to assist in shooting the arrangement and occlusion of the upper and lower dental arches, the control signal can be sent to the instruction module through the control button 8 or the touch display screen, and the driving mechanism is controlled to work through the processing module, so that the mirror 11 is controlled to be stretched out and deflected, and is moved to the required position, so that various shooting requirements are met.

The end of the mirror 11 away from the camera module 2 is rotationally connected with a connecting plate 20 through a rotating shaft. The side of the storage groove 13 close to the camera module 2 is provided with an arc-shaped groove matched with the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft on the mirror 11 moves to the arc-shaped groove along the storage groove 13, the rotating shaft on the mirror 11 slides along the arc-shaped groove. The end of the connecting plate 20 away from the mirror 11 is rotationally connected with a push plate 21. The push plate 21 is controlled to reciprocate along the storage groove 13 through the driving mechanism, so that the mirror 11 is controlled to reciprocate along the storage groove 13, the mirror 11 is controlled to stretch out or retract, and the push plate 21 pushes the connecting plate 20 and the mirror 11 to move forward and stretch out, as shown in Figure 6As shown, when the rotating shaft moves to the arc-shaped groove on the reflector 11, the rotating shaft will slide along the arc-shaped groove, so that the reflector 11 deflects, as shown in the figure.

The driving motor 23 and the electromagnet 26 are electrically connected with the processing module. When it is necessary to control the corresponding reflector 11 to extend and deflect by a specified angle, the instruction module sends a control signal to the processing module, and the processing module controls the driving motor 23 to work by controlling the driving motor 23 to work, so that the screw rod 22 is driven to rotate, thereby controlling the movement of the screw rod sleeve 24 and the driving rod 25. At the same time, the processing module controls the electromagnet 26 on the driving rod 25 corresponding to the reflector 11 to work, and the electromagnet 26 generates magnetism and magnetically attracts the push plate 21. Therefore, the corresponding push plate 21 is moved during the movement of the driving rod 25, thereby pushing the reflector 11 to extend, and the length of the reflector 11 extending and the deflection angle are controlled by controlling the movement distance of the driving rod 25.

[0037] Moreover, a distance sensor 27 corresponding to the driving rod 25 is mounted on the shooting head 1, and the distance sensor 27 is electrically connected with the processing module. The position of the driving rod 25 is detected by the distance sensor 27, and the detected distance data is sent to the processing module.
