[0019] The inverted teardrop shape may also be replaced by a melon seed or oval face shape, ensuring that the face is larger than the opening of the inspection port 7 so that external light sources cannot enter.

[0020] In this embodiment, specifically, a first adjustment seat 3 is fixed on the top of the workbench 1, a first cylinder 5 is embedded inside the first adjustment seat 3, an output end of the first cylinder 5 extends to the top of the first adjustment seat 3 and is vertically fixed to the bottom center of the inspection box 4, and a plurality of first guide rods 6 plugged with the first adjustment seat 3 are also vertically fixed to the bottom of the inspection box 4;

[0021] The first cylinder 5 cooperates with a plurality of first cylinders 5 to lift the inspection box 4 , and the operation of the first cylinder 5 is controlled by the control panel, which is convenient for adjustment.

[0022] In this embodiment, specifically, a horizontally arranged horizontal linear module 15 is fixed inside the inspection box 4, a slide of the horizontal linear module 15 faces the inspection port 7 and is fixed with a vertically arranged vertical linear module 16, a slide of the vertical linear module 16 is fixed with a second adjustment seat 17, and the camera 20 is connected to the second adjustment seat 17;

[0023] Among them, the horizontal linear module 15 and the vertical linear module 16 are both common devices that use motors to drive the lead screw to drive the linear displacement of the slide. The above two modules can realize the up, down, left and right displacement of the camera 20. The two modules can be electrically connected to the computer 2 and controlled by medical staff through the keyboard and mouse of the computer 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, specifically, a second cylinder 18 facing the inspection port 7 is embedded inside the second adjustment seat 17, and the output end of the second cylinder 18 extends through the outside of the second adjustment seat 17 and faces the inspection port 7. The camera 20 is fixed to the output end of the second cylinder 18, and a plurality of second guide rods 19 plugged into the second adjustment seat 17 are fixed on the back;

[0025] The second cylinder 18 cooperates with a plurality of second guide rods 19 to drive the camera 20 to extend and retract, so as to be closer to the patient's tongue. The second cylinder 18 can be electrically connected to the computer 2 and controlled by medical staff through the keyboard and mouse of the computer 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, specifically, lighting lamps 21 are fixed on both sides of the camera 20, and UV lamps 22 are fixed on both sides of the interior of the inspection box 4;

[0027] The irradiation ranges of the two illuminating lamps 21 overlap, and the irradiation surface is not smaller than the size of the inspection port 7. The two UV lamps 22 can be used for sterilization during idle time.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, the saliva collection assembly 10 further includes a card holder 11, which is n-shaped and penetrates the card slot 9 of the soft ring 8, and is connected to the inspection port 7 through the opening, and the collection box 13 is fixed to a side of the card holder 11 located inside the inspection box 4, and a lifting plate 12 is fixed to an external side of the card holder 11;

[0029] The lifting plate 12 can conveniently lift the entire saliva collection assembly 10, and the medical cotton 14 in the collection box 13 can be used in conjunction with medical alcohol to sterilize the collection box 13 at all times to avoid cross infection of infectious diseases between patients.

[0030] In this embodiment, specifically, a control panel is fixed to the outside of the first adjustment seat 3 , and the control panel is electrically connected to the first cylinder 5 .

[0031] Working principle: During the inspection, the control panel controls the first cylinder 5 to extend and retract, so that the inspection box 4 can be raised and lowered to accommodate patients of different heights. Then, the patient's face is inserted into the inspection port 7 until the front of the chin is located directly above the collection box 13, and the tongue is extended. The medical staff controls the operation of the horizontal linear module 15 and the vertical linear module 16 through the computer 2 to raise and lower and translate the camera 20. The computer 2 controls the operation of the second cylinder 18 to extend and retract the camera 20, and adjust the distance between the camera 20 and the tongue. The lighting lamps 21 on both sides of the camera 20 will illuminate the surface of the tongue, and the camera 20 will transmit the image back to the computer 2 for the medical staff to see. Staff observed that when the patient secretes more saliva, which flows out from the tongue or from the lower lip to the chin, the saliva will drip into the collection box 13 and be absorbed by the medical cotton 14. In special circumstances, such as when the patient's face is slightly facing upward, the saliva will flow from the chin to the neck due to gravity, and the soft ring 8 is provided with a slot 9. The saliva will pass through the chin and the slot 9 of the soft ring 8 to flow to the neck. In short, the saliva will drip into the collection box 13 or flow to the neck, and cannot drip directly on the inner bottom of the inspection box 4, so as to avoid the generation of odor inside the inspection box 4. The medical cotton 14 in the collection box 13 can be replaced later. The collection box 13 does not need to be cleaned frequently, and the medical cotton 14 can also be used to absorb alcohol.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
