[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of tongue and surface medical consultation, and in particular to an image acquisition device for medical consultation. Background Art
[0002] Observation is an important part of the four diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, using tongue surface sampling instruments to assist traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in observation will become a development trend in traditional Chinese medicine.
[0003] The tongue surface collector can collect the user's tongue surface image and facial image for subsequent diagnosis and treatment analysis. The higher the color restoration of the patient's facial image, the more accurate the diagnosis. Therefore, in order to improve the image quality, it is inevitable to use high-brightness and high-color rendering index LED lights for fill light. However, during the fill light process, the LED light is strong, which will cause a "dazzling" feeling to the user and make the user feel uncomfortable. Summary of the invention
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an image acquisition device for medical consultation, which can avoid the light of the first light source for fill-in light of the user's medical consultation image directly irradiating the user's eyes, reduce the user's glare, and improve the user's comfort during the medical consultation.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, this application adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] The present application provides an image acquisition device for medical consultation, comprising: a shell, provided with a cavity for accommodating a user's face, the inner wall surface of the shell being used for diffuse reflection; a camera system connected to the shell; a first light source connected to the shell, and used to emit light toward the inner wall surface of the shell, the light being diffusely reflected and irradiated to the user's face, and the camera system being used to obtain a medical consultation image of the user.
[0007] As an implementation manner, the inner wall surface includes a bottom wall, a first support member is disposed on the bottom wall, and the first light source is disposed on a side of the first support member facing away from the opening of the shell.
