[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first acquisition unit 21 includes a first imaging camera fixing panel 211 , a first imaging camera 212 , and a first lamp panel 213 . The first imaging camera fixing panel 211 is fixed on the first mounting plate 11, the first imaging camera 212 is fixed on the first imaging camera fixing panel 211, and a first through hole is opened in the middle of the first lamp plate 213. The acquisition end of the first imaging camera 212 extends into the acquisition space 24 through the first through hole, and the first lamp plate 213 is fixed on the first imaging camera 212; a number of LED lamps are provided on the first lamp plate 213, and several LED lamps are fixed around the first through hole to fix the first lamp plate 213 near the front side of the opening of the acquisition space 24, and the light emitting end of the first lamp plate 213 faces the opening of the acquisition space 24 to irradiate the oral to be detected. The acquisition end of the first imaging camera 212 is horizontal to face the acquisition oral cavity.

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the second acquisition unit 22 is disposed at the upper end of the first mounting plate 11 , the second acquisition unit 22 includes: a second imaging camera fixing panel 221 , a second imaging camera 222 and a second lamp plate 223 , a through hole is opened on the inclined portion of the second mounting plate 12 , and the second imaging camera fixing panel 221 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the inclined portion of the second mounting plate 12 away from the edge of the first mounting plate 11 through the rotation shaft 4 ; the second imaging camera 222 is fixed on the second imaging camera fixing panel 221 , and in the first direction, the second imaging camera 222 is inclined toward the opening of the acquisition space 24 below. A second through hole is provided in the middle position of the second lamp plate 223. The central axis of the second through hole is perpendicular to one side of the second lamp plate 223 toward the oral cavity to be detected. The acquisition end of the second imaging camera 222 passes through the second through hole and extends into the acquisition space 24. The second lamp plate 223 is fixed to the second imaging camera 222. Several LED lights are provided on the second lamp board 223, and several LED lights are arranged around the second through-hole on the lower side of the second mounting plate 12. The LED lights can emit white or blue-violet light, and several LED lights are suitable to emit light towards the oral cavity to be detected. The illumination angles of several LED lamps are the same as those of the second imaging camera 222 . Preferably, in a normal state, the irradiation angle of the LED lamp is tilted downward by 45° from the acquisition angle of the second imaging camera 222 . Through the above arrangement, the second imaging camera fixing panel 221 can be flipped up and down as the rotation center of the axis of the rotation shaft 4 to drive the second lamp plate 223 and the second imaging camera 222 to adjust the acquisition irradiation angle of both, and the adjustment range is ±10°.

[0069] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the third acquisition unit 23 is arranged at the lower end of the first mounting plate 11 , the third acquisition unit 23 includes: a third imaging camera fixing panel 231 , a third imaging camera 232 , and a third lamp plate 233 , a through hole is opened on the inclined portion of the third mounting plate 13 , and the third imaging camera fixing panel 231 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the inclined portion of the third mounting plate 13 away from the edge of the first mounting plate 11 through the rotation shaft 4 ; the third imaging camera 232 is fixed on the third imaging camera fixing panel 231 , and in the first direction, the second imaging camera 222 is inclined upward to the opening facing the acquisition space 24 . A third through hole is provided in the middle position of the third lamp plate 233. The central axis of the third through hole is perpendicular to one side of the third lamp plate 233 toward the oral cavity to be detected. The acquisition end of the third imaging camera 232 passes through the third through hole and extends into the acquisition space 24. The third lamp plate 233 is fixed to the third imaging camera 232. Several LED lights are provided on the third lamp board 233, and several LED lights are arranged on the upper side of the third mounting plate 13 around the third through-hole. The LED lights can emit white or blue-violet light, and several LED lights are suitable to emit light towards the oral cavity to be detected. The illumination angles of several LED lamps are the same as those of the third imaging camera 232 . Preferably, in a normal state, the irradiation angle of the LED lamp is tilted downward by 45° from the acquisition angle of the third imaging camera 232. Through the above arrangement, the third imaging camera fixing panel 231 can be flipped up and down as the rotation center of the axis of the rotation shaft 4 to drive the third lamp plate 233 and the third imaging camera 232 to adjust the acquisition irradiation angle of both, and the adjustment range is ±10°.

[0070] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first imaging camera 212 is placed inside the device, the first imaging camera 212 is fixed inside the device, and is at a 90° angle with the subject's mouth, focusing on the acquisition of the frontal image of the teeth; while the second imaging camera 222 and the third imaging camera 232 are located outside the device, and the initial angle is set to 45 degrees from the horizontal line, so as to facilitate the capture of images of the upper and lower jaw occlusal surfaces respectively. The three cameras are accurately positioned through fixed structural parts to ensure that the cameras do not block each other, achieving efficient and convenient multi-angle shooting. Moreover, the oral cavity to be tested is located at the opening position of the collection interface. Compared with the existing technology that needs to be extended into the oral cavity for collection, this non-contact design not only improves the user experience, but also effectively reduces the hygiene problems caused by contact, and provides safety guarantees for large-scale use. It is suitable for scenarios where multiple people are used, such as communities, schools, etc., reducing the cost of dental health monitoring and increasing the popularity rate. The fixed mechanical structures of the second imaging camera 222 and the third imaging camera 232 adopt a rotatable rotary shaft 4 design, with an adjustment range of ±10 degrees to adapt to the oral structure differences of different individuals. This design allows the camera to adjust flexibly at different angles, ensuring a complete picture of the teeth can be captured. This flexibility is particularly important in practical applications, because the oral morphology and structure of each subject are different, and it can meet the needs of different users, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of detection.

[0071] Specifically, the imaging camera adopts a high-performance RGB camera. The first imaging camera 212, the second imaging camera 222 and the third imaging camera 232 have the same structure, and each includes three parts: an imaging sensor 51, a camera interface and a lens 53. The imaging sensor 51 type may include one or more of a CCD camera and a CMOS camera, and its target surface size includes but is not limited to one or more of 1 inch, 2 / 3 inch, 1 / 2 inch, 1 / 3 inch, 1 / 4 inch, and 1 / 5 inch; the camera interface includes but is not limited to one or more of a C interface, a CS interface, a T interface, a M12 interface, and a M42 interface; the focal length of the camera lens 53 includes but is not limited to one or more of 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, and 16mm, and the aperture size of the lens 53 includes one or more of F3-F11. This flexible configuration allows the system to adapt to the needs of different users and achieve high-quality dental imaging. A filter 52 is installed between the imaging sensor 51 and the lens 53 . The filter 52 is a long-wave pass filter 52 , which is specially used to filter out the blue-violet light and other reflected and scattered light emitted by the light source module so that the excitation light formed by the blue-violet light irradiation to the teeth can smoothly enter the camera imaging sensor 51 for fluorescence imaging; and the filter 52 will not hinder the imaging effect of the white light image, ensuring the image clarity under the two light sources.

[0072] The first lamp plate 213, the second lamp plate 223 and the third lamp plate 233 can emit two types of light sources: white light and blue-violet light with a wavelength of about 405 nm. White light is mainly used for fill light to ensure that the teeth image is clearer and more realistic; blue-violet light with a wavelength of about 405nm is used as excitation light, which can be absorbed by the plaque on the teeth and stimulated fluorescence. This design allows users to effectively identify lesions on the surface of the teeth and improve the accuracy of image analysis.

[0073] By setting up three imaging cameras and three light panels, three oral images at different angles are collected respectively, which improves the imaging quality, improves the collection efficiency, effectively shortens the shooting time, and facilitates users to quickly complete the inspection. In addition, all imaging camera lenses 53 have a large depth of field, which can prevent the tooth image from blurring, thereby ensuring the consistency of imaging quality.

[0074] The first imaging camera 212 is configured with a telephoto lens 53 during the acquisition process to reduce the shooting range and ensure that the details of the teeth can be clearly captured.

[0075] The tooth image acquisition device further includes a light blocking frame 3; specifically, the light blocking frame 3 includes four light blocking plates, namely the first light blocking plate 31, the second light blocking plate 32, the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34; the first light blocking plate 31 is a horizontal plate, installed in the acquisition space 24, and installed between the first lamp plate 213 and the second lamp plate 223, for limiting the light angle of the first lamp plate 213; the second light blocking plate 32 is also a horizontal plate, installed in the acquisition space 24, and installed horizontally between the first lamp plate 213 and the third lamp plate 233, It is used to limit the light angle of the first lamp plate 213; the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the acquisition space 24, and the upper side of the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34 are fixed on the second mounting plate 12; the lower side of the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34 are fixed on the third mounting plate 13; the rear side of the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34 are fixed on the first mounting plate 11, and the third light blocking plate 33 and the fourth light blocking plate 34 are used to isolate the sides of the acquisition space 24 to prevent the light emitted from the lamp plate from leaking from the side. The light blocking frame 3 is used to limit the light emitted by the first lamp plate 213, the second lamp plate 223, and the third lamp plate 233 to the acquisition space 24, leaving only one side away from the first mounting plate 11 with an opening to emit light, thereby improving the utilization rate of the light source.

[0076] The third light baffle 33, the fourth light baffle 34, the first mounting plate 11, the second mounting plate 12 and the third mounting plate 13 are connected and fixed to each other by bolts or screws to form a mounting frame, and both sides of the first light baffle 31 and the second light baffle 32 are fixed to the third light baffle 33 and the fourth light baffle by bolts or screws.

[0077] The tooth image acquisition device further includes a control module and a display interaction module 7; the control module and the display interaction module 7 are both fixed on the base frame 1, the control module is connected to the signal of the display interaction module 7, and the control module is connected to the signal of the acquisition structure 2. Specifically, the control module is designed as a development motherboard equipped with Android, Windows or Linux operating systems.

[0079] Example 2

[0080] This embodiment provides a method for collecting tooth images. Figure 5 As shown, when it is necessary to collect the teeth of the oral to be collected, the first oral to be collected is closed, the upper jaw and the lower jaw are clenched and then moved to the opening of the acquisition space 24. The control module controls the LED light on the first lamp plate 213 to be opened to emit white light directly from the oral to be collected. The control module controls the first imaging camera 212 to collect the frontal viewing image of the oral to be collected. Then the control module controls the LED light on the first lamp plate 213 to be switched to blue-violet light, and the control module controls the first imaging camera 212 to collect fluorescence imaging formed by the blue-violet light irradiating the teeth through the filter 52.

[0081] Then, if Figure 6As shown, the oral cavity to be collected is opened, and the upper jaw and the lower jaw are as far away as possible, and the angles of the second acquisition unit 22 and the third acquisition unit 23 are adjusted so that both face the lower jaw or the upper jaw. The control module controls the LED lights on the second lamp plate 223 and the third lamp plate 233 to be turned on simultaneously to emit white light to direct oral cavity to be collected. The control module controls the second imaging camera 222 to acquire an intuitive image of the jaw teeth, and the third imaging camera 232 to acquire an intuitive image of the maxillary teeth. Then the control module controls the LED lights on the second lamp plate 223 and the third lamp plate 233 to switch to blue-violet light, and the control module controls the first imaging camera 212 to transmit the filter 52 to collect fluorescence imaging formed by the blue-violet light irradiating the teeth.

[0082] It should be additionally noted that the second light board 223 and the second imaging camera 222 may be used to capture images of the lower jaw alone, or the third light board 233 and the third imaging camera 232 may be used to capture images of the upper jaw alone.

[0083] Through the above acquisition method, the tooth image is first captured using a white light source, and then the control processing module switches to a blue-violet light source to continue the subsequent shooting. This light source conversion mechanism not only enhances the imaging effect, but also provides richer data support for comprehensive analysis of tooth status. Blue-violet light can effectively stimulate potential lesions on the tooth surface, providing doctors with clearer detection basis.

[0084] In summary, the tooth image acquisition device in Example 1 and the tooth image acquisition method in Example 2 significantly improves the efficiency and quality of tooth image acquisition and meets the diverse needs of modern oral health detection. Its convenient self-service design, precise imaging capabilities and flexible mechanical structure enable users to easily complete dental examinations at any time and place, thereby promoting the popularization and development of oral health management.

[0085] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
