An oblong groove 705 is provided on the rotating rod connecting block 704, and the rotating rod connecting block 704 is located on top of the extension rod connecting block 703.

[0024] Two symmetrical sliding grooves 101 are provided on both sides of the grip rod 1, and multiple anti-slip patterns 102 are evenly spaced on the outer bottom of the grip rod 1. The top of the grip rod 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting top cover 2, and the bottom of the grip rod 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting bottom cover 5. In this example, by providing multiple anti-slip patterns 102, it is easier to apply force and adjust the angle of the movable mirror component 7 at the top of the grip rod 1.

[0025] The top of the mirror extension rod 3 is slidably connected to the mounting cap 2, and one side of the bottom of the mirror extension rod 3 is slidably connected to the holding rod 1 via a groove 101. The top of the mirror rotation rod 4 is slidably connected to the mounting cap 2, and one side of the bottom of the mirror rotation rod 4 is slidably connected to the holding rod 1 via a groove 101. In this example, by setting the mirror rotation rod 4, it is convenient to control the movable mirror component 7 and adjust the angle, which facilitates observation of the internal oral cavity.

[0026] The thumb push block 8 is fixedly connected to the mirror extension rod 3, and slidably connected to the grip rod 1. The index finger buckle 9 is fixedly connected to the mirror rotation rod 4, and slidably connected to the grip rod 1.

[0029] Working principle: Hold the bottom of the gripping rod 1 with your hand, push the thumb pusher 8 with your thumb, which moves the mirror extension rod 3 upward. The extension rod return spring 602 is compressed. Insert the index finger into the index finger buckle 9 and move the mirror rotation rod 4 upward. The rotation rod return spring 603 is compressed, which in turn moves the movable mirror component 7 out. The thumb stops moving, while the index finger continues to move, causing the mirror rotation rod 4 to slide inside the waist-shaped groove 705 on the rotation rod connecting block 704. This causes the mirror 701 to rotate around the mirror extension rod 3 through the extension rod connecting block 703, adjusting the angle of the mirror 701. At the same time, the supplementary light 702 illuminates the inside of the oral cavity to observe the condition inside the oral cavity.
