[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2As shown in Figure 4, an embodiment of the present application provides a shading device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, including a wearing member 1, which is used to be mounted on the outer periphery of the user's head circumference; it also includes a support member 2, which is connected to both sides of the wearing member 1, and the support member 2 includes two extension sections 22 and an arc-shaped connecting section 21, and the two ends of the arc-shaped connecting section 21 are respectively connected to the two extension sections 22, and the two extension sections 22 and the arc-shaped connecting section 21 surround a non-enclosed structure for accommodating the user's face; it also includes a light blocking member 3, which is connected to the support member 2, and the light blocking member 3 is a sheet structure. When the user wears the shading device, the arc-shaped connecting section 21 is at the top of the user's head, so that the extension section 22 is in a vertical state. In this way, when the user's face is in the chamber in the tongue surface collector, the light blocking sheet can block the gap between the user's face and the edge of the tongue surface collector, so as to avoid light leakage in the gap between the user's face and the tongue surface collector, thereby improving the clarity of the image collected by the tongue surface collector, and thus improving the accuracy of the analysis of the tongue surface collector.

[0029] Optionally, the wearing piece 1 may be a closed ring structure or may not be a closed ring structure.

[0030] Optionally, the support member 2 is in a U-shaped structure, so that when the support member 2 is flipped to be perpendicular to the wearing member 1, the top of the support member 2 can be fixed on the top of the user's head, thereby improving the structural stability of the shading device when worn. As an embodiment, the light blocking member 3 is a flexible member, so it can be easily deformed. When the user wears the shading device and puts the face into the tongue surface collector, the light blocking member 3 made of flexible material can be deformed to cover the gap between the user's entire face and the tongue surface collector, thereby improving the shading effect and avoiding light leakage in certain gaps.

[0031] Optionally, the light blocking member 3 may be a light blocking cloth, a PVC glass fiber cloth or a light blocking paper; of course, it may also be made of an opaque rubber material.

[0032] As a possible implementation, the light blocking member 3 may also be a hard acrylic plate, and the acrylic plate is an opaque color.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, as an embodiment, the shading device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis also includes a connecting shaft 4, and the extension section 22 is rotatably connected to the wearing piece 1 via the connecting shaft 4, so that the support member 2 can be rotated relative to the wearing piece 1, thereby making it convenient to reduce the volume of the shading device, facilitate storage and carrying, and also facilitate outdoor diagnosis and treatment.

[0034] Optionally, the width of the support member 2 is greater than the width of the wearing member 1 , so that the support member 2 can rotate 360 ​​degrees relative to the wearing member 1 via the connecting shaft 4 .

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, as an embodiment, the shading device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis also includes a fixing part 5 for fixing at the top of the user's head. The fixing part 5 is provided and fixed at the top of the user's head, thereby cooperating with the wearing part 1 and the supporting part 2 to improve the stability of the user after wearing the shading device and avoid shaking of the shading device. At the same time, the fixing part 5 is rotatably connected to the wearing part 1. When not in use, the fixing part 5 can be rotated to be parallel to the wearing part 1, thereby reducing the volume, facilitating storage and carrying, and also facilitating outdoor diagnosis and treatment.

[0036] Optionally, the fixing member 5 is a semicircular sheet structure with a certain width, so as to increase the contact area between the fixing member 5 and the top of the user's head and improve the stability of the shading device when worn.

[0037] Optionally, the fixing member 5 can be rotated to a position perpendicular to the wearing member 1 .

[0038] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, as an embodiment, a positioning portion 6 is provided on the wearing piece 1, and the positioning portion 6 is used to connect with the fixing piece 5. In this way, when the fixing piece 5 is rotated by a certain angle relative to the wearing piece 1, the fixing piece 5 and the wearing piece 1 can be fixed to each other through the positioning portion 6, thereby preventing the fixing piece 5 from continuing to rotate, thereby improving the stability between the fixing piece 5 and the wearing piece 1.

[0039] Optionally, the width of the fixing member 5 is smaller than the width of the wearing member 1 , and therefore, the fixing member 5 is on the inner circumference of the wearing member 1 , and the positioning portion 6 can be disposed on the inner circumference of the wearing member 1 .

[0040] Optionally, the positioning portion 6 may be an elastic positioning bead.

[0041] Optionally, the wearing piece 1 can be connected to the fixing piece 5 via a pin, wherein the positioning portion 6 and the pin are on the same vertical plane, so that when the fixing piece 5 and the wearing piece 1 are perpendicular to each other, the fixing piece 5 can be positioned to prevent the fixing piece 5 from shaking.

[0042] Optionally, the fixing member 5 is in a semicircular ring shape, so that it is convenient for users to wear.

[0043] As an embodiment, a plurality of positioning parts 6 are provided, and the plurality of positioning parts 6 are arranged at intervals along the rotation direction of the fixing part 5, so that the fixing part 5 can be fixed by the positioning parts 6 at different positions when it is rotated at different angles relative to the wearing part 1, thereby achieving fixation at different angles between the wearing part 1 and the fixing part 5, which can meet the head shapes of different users and improve the adaptability of the product.

[0044] Optionally, a plurality of positioning portions 6 may be arranged at intervals in an arc shape.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, as an embodiment, the wearing piece 1 is a non-closed structure, and the wearing piece 1 is an elastic piece, including a clamping portion 11 for clamping both sides of the user's head. By setting the wearing piece 1 to a non-closed structure, the overall weight of the shading device can be reduced, making the user more comfortable when wearing it; at the same time, the wearing piece 1 is an elastic piece, so that when the user wears it, the clamping portions 11 on both sides can be clamped to both sides of the user's head, thereby improving the stability of the shading device when worn.

[0046] Optionally, the wearing piece 1 may be a plastic piece, which can provide a clamping force to the user.

[0047] Optionally, the wearing piece 1 further includes a connecting portion, which is integrally formed with the clamping portion 11 , and has an arc-shaped structure, which is respectively connected to the clamping portion 11 , and the fixing piece 5 and the supporting piece 2 are respectively rotatably connected to the clamping portion 11 .

[0048] As an embodiment, the wearing piece 1 is a closed structure; the shading device for traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis also includes an adjusting piece for adjusting the circumferential length of the wearing piece 1. By setting the adjusting piece, the circumferential length of the wearing piece 1 can be adjusted, so that the shading device can meet the head circumference sizes of different users and improve the applicability of the product.

[0049] like Figure 6 As shown, optionally, the wearing piece 1 may include two adjustment sections 12, the two adjustment sections 12 are disconnected, and there are multiple through holes arranged at intervals on the adjustment sections 12. The adjusting piece may be a connecting column, and the two adjustment sections 12 may overlap with each other so that the through holes on different adjustment sections 12 correspond to each other, and then the connecting column passes through the two through holes in sequence to achieve different circumferential lengths of the adjusting piece 1.

[0050] Optionally, the adjustment section 12 may be located behind the head, which makes the device more aesthetically pleasing when worn.

[0051] Optionally, the adjusting member may also be an elastic band, and the two ends of the elastic band are respectively connected to the two adjusting sections 12. When worn by different users, the elastic band can produce a loose or tight effect, and when worn by different users, the wearing member 1 with different circumferential lengths can be produced.

[0052] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, as an embodiment, the support member 2 is a metal member, and an adsorption member 7 is also provided on the fixing member 5. When the support member 2 and the fixing member 5 are both rotated and the two gradually approach each other after the rotation, the adsorption member 7 can automatically adsorb and connect the support member 2, thereby improving the structural stability of the shading device during use and preventing the support member 2 and the fixing member 5 from rotating relative to each other.

[0053] Optionally, the adsorption member 7 may be a magnet, and the magnet may be connected to the fixing member 5 by fasteners such as screws.

[0054] Of course, the support member 2 can also be a non-magnetic member such as plastic or silicone. The fixing member 5 is provided with an adsorption member 7, and the support member 2 is provided with an adsorption matching member that cooperates with the adsorption member 7. In this way, when the support member 2 and the fixing member 5 are both rotated and the distance between the two is closest after rotation, the adsorption member 7 and the adsorption matching member can attract each other, thereby realizing the connection between the fixing member 5 and the support member 2, thereby improving the structural stability of the shading device during use and preventing the support member 2 and the fixing member 5 from rotating relative to each other.

[0055] Optionally, the non-magnetic part refers to a part that is not magnetically conductive and thus will not attract a magnet.

[0056] Optionally, in some cases, the fixing member 5 or the support member 2 can also be connected through a snap-on structure, that is, a structure similar to a protrusion can be set on the support member 2, and a positioning groove is set at the corresponding position of the fixing member 5, and the protrusion can be embedded in the positioning groove, which can also realize the connection between the fixing member 5 and the support member 2.

[0057] As an implementation mode, the wearing member 1 and the fixing member 5 are made of polymer materials, so that the overall weight of the shading device is relatively light, which is convenient for users to carry and also improves the comfort of users when wearing it.

[0058] Optionally, the wearing piece 1 and the fixing piece 5 may be made of plastic or silicone.

For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
