[0040] The second spring 2026 is also used for resetting the moving block 2021, when the arc-shaped plate 2022 is no longer pressed, the second spring 2026 restores to reset the moving block 2021, and the sliding block 2025 reversely slides in the arc-shaped slot 2024-1, so that the rotating disc 2024 reversely rotates to return to the initial position.

[0041] Specifically, the rotating disc 2024 is fixed with a locking block 2027, the locking block 2027 being similar to a rectangle but having two arc-shaped edges, the handle 102 is provided with an annular slot 102-5, and the locking block 2027 is slidable in the annular slot 102-5, through the arc-shaped arrangement, when the rotating disc 2024 rotates, the locking block 2027 can rotate in the annular slot 102-5 and will not hinder the rotation of the rotating disc 2024.

[0042] Specifically, the clamping block 2011 is provided with a locking slot 2011-1, the locking slot 2011-1 being clamped with the locking block 2027, the locking slot 2011-1 also having two arc-shaped edges, after the probe 101 is initially connected with the handle 102, the locking block 2027 is not clamped with the locking slot 2011-1, but they are located on the same axial circle on the handle 102.

[0043] The user's hand presses the arc-shaped plate 2022, drives the moving block 2021 to move, and under the cooperation of the moving block 2021 and the arc-shaped groove 2024-1, the rotating disc 2024 rotates, so that the locking block 2027 rotates synchronously in the annular groove 102-5. With the movement of the locking block 2027, the locking block 2027 is close to the locking groove 2011-1, and finally the two are clamped. At this time, under the cooperation of the two, the position of the clamping block 2011 will be locked, and it cannot be separated from the clamping groove 101-1, so as to ensure that the probe 101 can keep stable connection with the hand-held handle 102 during use.

[0044] Embodiment 3

[0045] With reference to Figures 1-6 For the third embodiment of the utility model, the embodiment is based on the previous two embodiments.

Through the arc-shaped arrangement, when the probe 101 is installed, the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping block 2011 will first contact the end surface of the probe 101, and the end surface of the probe 101 will press the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping block 2011, so that the first spring 2012 is compressed, and the clamping block 2011 moves away from the probe 101 in the first moving groove 102-2. At this time, the clamping block 2011 will not hinder the movement of the probe 101. With the movement of the probe 101, when the clamping block 2011 and the clamping groove 101-1 are coaxial, the clamping block 2011 will be clamped with the clamping groove 101-1 under the pushing of the first spring 2012. At this time, the probe 101 and the hand-held handle 102 are preliminarily connected, and they will not be easily separated.

[0047] When it is necessary to replace the probe 101, the probe 101 is pulled out from the installation groove 102-1, and the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping groove 101-1 will press the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping block 2011, so that the first spring 2012 is compressed, and the clamping block 2011 will not hinder the movement of the probe 101. With slight force, the probe 101 and the hand-held handle 102 can be separated.

[0048] The number of clamping blocks 2011 is four, which are uniformly distributed in a circle. The number of clamping grooves 101-1 is consistent with that of the clamping blocks 2011. Through the four groups of clamping grooves 101-1 and clamping blocks 2011, the stability of the installation of the probe 101 is ensured. After installation is completed, one end surface of the probe 101 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the installation groove 102-1.

[0049] Specifically, the number of the arc-shaped plates 2022, the moving blocks 2021 and the sliding blocks 2025 is four groups, by setting multiple groups, it is ensured that when the user holds the handle 102, the fingers are in any position, as long as he presses one of the arc-shaped plates 2022, it can drive the corresponding moving block 2021 to move, so that the whole rotating disc 2024 rotates, and then the locking of the clamping block 2011 is completed.

[0050] The rotating disc 2024 is provided with four locking blocks 2027, which are consistent with the number of the clamping blocks 2011 and one-to-one correspondence, when the rotating disc 2024 rotates, it can drive the four locking blocks 2027 to rotate synchronously, and then be clamped with the locking slot 2011-1 on each clamping block 2011, so as to lock the probe 101, ensure that the probe 101 does not shake during use, and separate from the handle 102.

[0051] Specifically, the probe 101 is fixed with a guide block 103, and the handle 102 is provided with a guide groove 102-6, the guide block 103 can be inserted into the guide groove 102-6, through the cooperation of the guide block 103 and the guide groove 102-6, it is ensured that when the probe 101 is inserted into the installation slot 102-1, the clamping block 2011 can be in the same plane with the clamping slot 101-1, so that the two can be clamped, and the guide block 103 and the guide groove 102-6 can also avoid the rotation of the probe 101 in the installation slot 102-1, which affects the periodontal detection.

[0052] Specifically, the arc-shaped plate 2022 is fixed with a friction block 2028, and the number of the friction block 2028 is multiple, the friction block 2028 is used to increase the friction between the user's hand and the arc-shaped plate 2022.

[0053] In use, the probe 101 is adjusted so that the guide block 103 is coaxial with the guide groove 102-6, and then the probe 101 is inserted into the installation slot 102-1, the guide block 103 slides in the guide groove 102-6, so that the end face of the probe 101 is completely matched with the installation slot 102-1, in this process, the arc-shaped end face of the clamping block 2011 will first contact the end face of the probe 101, the end face of the probe 101 will extrude the arc-shaped end face of the clamping block 2011, so that the first spring 2012 is compressed, and the clamping block 2011 moves away from the probe 101 along the first moving slot 102-2, at this time, the clamping block 2011 does not hinder the movement of the probe 101, with the movement of the probe 101, when the clamping block 2011 is in the coaxial position with the clamping slot 101-1, the clamping block 2011 will be clamped with the clamping slot 101-1 under the pushing of the first spring 2012, at this time, the probe 101 and the handle 102 are preliminarily connected, and they will not be easily separated.

[0054] When starting to carry out periodontal examination, the user's hand will extrude the arc-shaped plate 2022, so as to make the moving block 2021 close to the center of the hand handle 102 in the second moving groove 102-3, in the process, the sliding block 2025 will slide in the arc-shaped groove 2024-1, so as to make the rotating disc 2024 rotate, the rotating disc 2024 drives the locking block 2027 to rotate synchronously in the annular groove 102-5, the locking block 2027 is close to the locking groove 2011-1, finally the two will be engaged, at this time, under the cooperation of the two, the position of the clamping block 2011 will be locked, it cannot be separated from the clamping groove 101-1, so as to ensure that the probe 101 can keep stable connection with the hand handle 102 in the process of use, and the position of the probe 101 will not be offset.

[0055] When the probe 101 needs to be replaced, the user's hand no longer extrudes the arc-shaped plate 2022, the second spring 2026 restores to reset the moving block 2021, at the same time, the sliding block 2025 will slide reversely in the arc-shaped groove 2024-1, so as to make the rotating disc 2024 rotate reversely and return to the initial position, the locking block 2027 is separated from the locking groove 2011-1, and will not limit the movement of the clamping block 2011, at this time, under the action of slight force, the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping groove 101-1 will extrude the arc-shaped end surface of the clamping block 2011, so as to make the first spring 2012 be compressed, the clamping block 2011 will not hinder the movement of the probe 101, that is, the probe 101 can be pulled out from the installation groove 102-1.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit it.
