Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis, and in particular relates to a tongue diagnosis detector. Background Art

[0002] In the field of TCM diagnosis, tongue diagnosis is a traditional diagnostic method that provides doctors with rich diagnostic information by observing the shape, color, and coating of the tongue. With the development of modern science and technology, tongue diagnosis technology has gradually moved towards digitalization and intelligence, and desktop tongue diagnosis equipment has emerged. However, there are still many technical problems and shortcomings in the existing desktop tongue diagnosis equipment, which affects the accuracy and convenience of tongue diagnosis.

[0003] First of all, most existing desktop tongue diagnosis devices use flat cameras to collect tongue images. Although this design has achieved digital recording of tongue images to a certain extent, it is easily interfered by external light sources during the actual detection process. Since flat cameras are more sensitive to light conditions, changes in external light will directly cause the collected tongue images to be distorted in color and blurred in details, which will seriously affect the accuracy of the test results. Especially in different lighting environments, such as day and night, indoors and outdoors, the difference in tongue images may become very significant, causing great trouble to doctors' diagnosis.

[0004] Secondly, the existing desktop tongue diagnosis equipment has obvious defects in positioning and support. When performing tongue diagnosis, the user needs to look at the display and place the tongue in the indicator frame in the display by moving the face. This operation mode not only requires the user to have a high degree of cooperation and stability, but also easily leads to failure or poor quality of tongue image collection due to the user's head shaking or inaccurate facial position. At the same time, maintaining this posture for a long time will also cause discomfort to the user, reducing the comfort and acceptability of tongue diagnosis.

[0005] In addition, the existing desktop tongue diagnosis equipment lacks effective auxiliary positioning and support devices. It is difficult for users of different ages and body shapes to find a suitable posture and position for tongue image collection. Especially for special groups such as the elderly and children, it is even more difficult to ensure the accuracy and reliability of tongue image collection due to their relatively poor coordination and stability.

[0006] To this end, the present invention provides a tongue diagnosis detector which can effectively shield external light sources and ensure accurate and stable collection of tongue images. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a tongue diagnosis detector; it can effectively shield the interference of external light sources and improve the accuracy of tongue image collection; at the same time, it has auxiliary positioning and support functions to guide and fix the user's head position to ensure the accuracy and stability of tongue image collection.

[0008] The present invention is implemented as follows: a tongue diagnosis detector includes a tongue diagnosis seat, a tongue diagnosis camera device housing arranged on the upper part of the tongue diagnosis seat, which is used to accommodate and install the tongue diagnosis camera and a light shield; the characteristic is that: the light shield is trumpet-shaped, a lower jaw supporting portion is provided below the outer end of the light shield, and a nose bridge positioning groove is provided on the upper part, which is used to guide and fix the user's nose bridge position.

[0009] Further preferably, a tongue diagnosis lifting frame is slidably installed in the tongue diagnosis seat, and the upper end of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame is connected to the tongue diagnosis camera device housing.

[0010] Further preferably, a tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism is provided between the tongue diagnosis seat and the tongue diagnosis lifting frame for adjusting the height of the tongue diagnosis camera.

[0011] Further preferably, the tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism includes a linear slide rail fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the tongue diagnosis base, a slider slidably arranged on the linear slide rail, and the slider is fixedly connected to the tongue diagnosis lifting frame; a positioning component is provided on the tongue diagnosis base for fixing the tongue diagnosis lifting frame relative to the tongue diagnosis base.

[0012] Further preferably, the positioning member is a pull-out type positioning pin, and corresponding to the pull-out type positioning pin, N positioning holes are provided on the tongue diagnosis lifting frame along the height direction, wherein N is a natural number ≥ 2.

[0013] Further preferably, a heat dissipation window is provided at the rear portion of the housing of the tongue diagnosis camera device.

[0014] The advantages and technical effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention proposes a new tongue diagnosis detector design, which has significant overall technical effects and brings many innovations and improvements to the field of tongue diagnosis in traditional Chinese medicine.

[0015] First of all, the tongue diagnosis detector greatly improves the user experience and diagnostic accuracy by introducing two innovative design elements: the jaw support and the nose bridge positioning slot. The jaw support provides a stable support point for the user to ensure that the chin remains fixed during the shooting process, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of tongue distortion caused by angle deviation. The nose bridge positioning slot guides the user to place the nose bridge in the correct position through precise positioning points, simplifies the operation process, and improves the consistency and accuracy of diagnosis. The addition of these two design elements not only reflects a deep understanding and attention to user needs, but also demonstrates the designer's innovative thinking and unique perspective in equipment design.

[0016] Secondly, the sliding design of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame and the precise adjustment ability of the tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism allow the height of the tongue diagnosis camera to be flexibly adjusted according to the height and usage habits of different users. This height adjustability ensures that the tongue diagnosis camera can accurately capture the user's tongue image, and obtain clear and stable images regardless of whether the user is sitting or standing. At the same time, the combination of the linear slide rail and the slider provides a stable and smooth sliding path for the tongue diagnosis lifting frame, avoiding image blur caused by shaking or jitter. The application of pull-out positioning pins further improves the adjustment efficiency and stability of the equipment, making the tongue diagnosis process more convenient and efficient.

[0017] In addition, the heat dissipation window on the rear of the tongue diagnosis camera device effectively solves the problem of heat generated by the tongue diagnosis camera during operation. The opening of the heat dissipation window allows air to circulate freely, taking away the heat inside the camera in time and maintaining the stable operation of the device. This design not only enhances the reliability and durability of the tongue diagnosis detector, but also extends the service life of the device, providing users with a more stable and reliable tongue diagnosis service.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A tongue diagnosis detector includes a tongue diagnosis seat 1 as the core support structure of the tongue diagnosis detector, and its design fully considers the needs and stability of actual use. It can be independently installed on the diagnostic equipment. In order to further enhance its stability and applicability, the bottom can also be equipped with a horizontal base 1-1 or a similar structure and used independently to ensure that the tongue diagnosis detector can remain stable and reliable in various usage scenarios, providing users with accurate and efficient tongue diagnosis detection services. At the same time, the horizontal base is a hollow structure, which can be used as an installation space for electronic components such as power modules and controllers in the base, and is sealed by a cover plate at the bottom of the base; the tongue diagnosis camera device housing 2 arranged on the upper part of the tongue diagnosis seat is used to accommodate and install a tongue diagnosis camera 2-1 connected to an external display and control terminal and a light shield 3; the light shield is in the shape of a trumpet, and a lower jaw support portion 3-1 is provided below the outer end of the light shield, and a nose bridge positioning groove 3-2 is provided on the upper part to guide and fix the user's nose bridge position. In the design of the tongue diagnosis detector, the introduction of the lower jaw support portion 3-1 and the nose bridge positioning groove 3-2 undoubtedly brings significant innovation to this medical device that combines tradition with modern technology.

[0025] Here is a detailed analysis of the innovation of these two design elements:

[0026] First of all, the design of the lower jaw support part 3-1 breaks the free placement state of the traditional tongue diagnosis detector when used by the user. In previous devices, users often need to adjust the position of their chin by themselves to adapt to the shooting angle of the camera, which not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also may cause the captured tongue image to be distorted due to angle deviation. The clever setting of the lower jaw support part 3-1 provides the user with a stable support point, so that the chin can remain fixed during the shooting process, thereby ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the tongue image. This design not only improves the user experience, but also greatly reduces the diagnostic errors caused by improper operation. It is an important innovation in the design of tongue diagnosis detectors.

[0027] Secondly, the addition of the nose bridge positioning slot 3-2 reflects the designer's ultimate pursuit of user experience. In the traditional tongue diagnosis process, the user needs to adjust the head position by himself to ensure that the relative position of the nose bridge and the camera is correct. However, this self-adjustment method is often difficult to achieve the best effect, and for users with different face shapes, the difficulty and accuracy of adjustment are different. The design of the nose bridge positioning slot 3-2 provides a precise positioning point to guide the user to place the nose bridge in the correct position, thereby ensuring that the camera can capture the most accurate tongue image information. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the accuracy and consistency of diagnosis. It is another major innovation in the design of tongue diagnosis detectors.

[0028] It is worth noting that the design of the lower jaw support portion 3-1 and the nose bridge positioning slot 3-2 is not a conventional practice in this field. In previous tongue diagnosis testers, such a detailed and user-friendly design is rarely seen. The addition of these two design elements not only reflects the designers' in-depth understanding and attention to user needs, but also demonstrates their innovative thinking and unique perspective in equipment design.

[0029] Example 2, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 On the basis of Example 1, a tongue diagnosis lifting frame 4 is slidably installed in the tongue diagnosis seat, and the upper end of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame is connected to the tongue diagnosis camera device housing. Through the sliding design of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame 4, the height of the tongue diagnosis camera device housing 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the height and usage habits of different users. This height adjustability ensures that the tongue diagnosis camera can accurately capture the user's tongue image, and a clear and stable image can be obtained regardless of whether the user is sitting or standing.

[0030] In addition, the sliding installation of the tongue diagnosis lift also enhances the adaptability and versatility of the device. For users of different ages and body types, the tongue diagnosis lift can provide the right shooting height without the user making unnatural postures or adjustments, thus improving the comfort and accuracy of tongue diagnosis.

[0031] Further preferably, a tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism 5 is provided between the tongue diagnosis seat and the tongue diagnosis lifting frame for adjusting the height of the tongue diagnosis camera. The tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism 5 can accurately and smoothly adjust the height of the tongue diagnosis camera, ensuring that the camera is always aimed at the user's tongue to capture the clearest and most accurate tongue image information. This precise height adjustment capability not only improves the efficiency and accuracy of tongue diagnosis, but also effectively avoids the situation of image blur or shooting failure caused by improper camera position.

[0032] Further preferably, the tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism includes a linear slide 5-1 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the tongue diagnosis base, a slider 5-2 slidably arranged on the linear slide, and the slider is fixedly connected to the tongue diagnosis lifting frame 4; a positioning component 5-3 is provided on the tongue diagnosis base for fixing the tongue diagnosis lifting frame relative to the tongue diagnosis base. First, the cooperation between the linear slide 5-1 and the slider 5-2 provides a stable and smooth sliding path for the tongue diagnosis lifting frame 4. This design ensures the stability of the tongue diagnosis camera during the height adjustment process, avoids image blurring caused by shaking or jittering, and thus improves the accuracy of tongue diagnosis.

[0033] Secondly, the positioning member 5-3 is provided so that the tongue diagnosis lifting frame 4 can be firmly fixed on the tongue diagnosis base after being adjusted to a suitable height, which not only ensures the stability during the tongue diagnosis process, but also facilitates the doctor or user to make quick and accurate height adjustments as needed.

[0034] The positioning member may be a bolt-type tight-pressing member or a spring pin-type positioning member. Preferably, the positioning member is a pull-out type positioning pin, and corresponding to the pull-out type positioning pin, N positioning holes 5-4 are provided on the tongue diagnosis lifting frame along the height direction, where N is a natural number ≥ 2. The pull-out type positioning pin can easily and quickly fix the height of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency of the equipment. At the same time, the design of multiple positioning holes makes the height adjustment of the tongue diagnosis lifting frame more precise, and can be fine-tuned according to the needs of different users to ensure that the shooting angle and height of the tongue diagnosis camera are in the optimal state. In addition, the ease of operation and reliability of the pull-out type positioning pin also enhance the overall performance of the equipment and reduce the shooting error caused by unstable positioning. This design not only improves the accuracy of tongue diagnosis, but also improves the user experience, making the tongue diagnosis process more convenient and efficient.

[0035] Further preferably, a heat dissipation window 2-2 is provided at the rear of the tongue diagnosis camera device housing 2. The design of the heat dissipation window 2-2 effectively solves the problem of heat generated by the tongue diagnosis camera during operation. As the tongue diagnosis camera runs for a long time, its internal electronic components will generate a certain amount of heat. If the heat is not dissipated in time, it may cause the performance of the device to decline or even be damaged. The opening of the heat dissipation window 2-2 allows air to circulate freely, effectively taking away the heat inside the camera and maintaining the stable operation of the device.

[0036] In addition, the heat dissipation window 2-1 also enhances the reliability and durability of the tongue diagnosis detector. Through good heat dissipation design, the equipment failure rate caused by overheating is reduced, the service life of the equipment is extended, and a more stable and reliable tongue diagnosis service is provided to users.

[0037] In summary, the tongue diagnosis detector design proposed in the present invention realizes the precision, convenience and stability of the tongue diagnosis process through the combination of multiple innovative points such as the mandibular support part, the nose bridge positioning slot, the tongue diagnosis lifting frame, the tongue diagnosis lifting mechanism and the heat dissipation window. These innovative designs not only improve the accuracy and efficiency of tongue diagnosis, but also enhance the user experience and satisfaction.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
