Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral scanner technology, and specifically to an oral scanner. Background Technology

[0002] An oral scanner is a high-tech device used to acquire three-dimensional digital images of the internal structure of the oral cavity. It can quickly and accurately acquire three-dimensional data of the patient's oral cavity, including the surface morphology and color information of hard and soft tissues such as teeth and gums. After computer processing, this data can generate detailed three-dimensional models, providing doctors with intuitive references, thereby shortening treatment time and improving treatment efficiency.

[0003] Existing dental scanners use scanning heads that integrate LEDs, CCD cameras, microcomputers, and high-speed data transmission interfaces. High-frequency light waves emitted by the LEDs illuminate the surface of an object, and the reflected light waves are received by the CCD camera. By calculating the path and speed of the reflected light waves, a three-dimensional model of the object is generated. During the scanning of teeth and gums inside the mouth, the scanning head moves through various areas and requires the dentist to hold and operate it. The three-dimensional model of the oral cavity is displayed in real-time on the medical device's screen, and the dentist observes it by touching the screen. However, this observation requires placing the scanning head on a table, resulting in frequent picking up and putting down of the scanning head throughout the entire scanning process, making it inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an oral scanner to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An oral scanner includes a table, on which a main unit is placed. The main unit is connected to a data cable, the end of which is connected to a scanner body.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 An oral scanner is shown, including a table 1, a host 2 placed on the table 1, a data cable 3 connected to the host 2, and a scanner body 4 connected to the end of the data cable 3. A support is provided on one side of the table 1, a fixing seat 10 is fixed on one side of the support, a metal support tube 5 is fixed on one side of the fixing seat 10, a fixing rod 11 is fixed to the end of the metal support tube 5, a base 12 is fixed to the end of the fixing rod 11, a slot 15 is provided on one side of the base 12, and a plug-in plate 13 is provided at one end of the scanner body 4. The extension end of the plug-in plate 13 can be inserted into the slot 15.

[0023] Specifically, the host 2 and the monitor 6 are connected via a data cable (not shown in the figure). The host 2 and the monitor 6 form a computer. Computers are a mature technology in the present technology, so we will not go into details here. It should be noted that the scanning technology of the scanner body 4 is also existing technology, so we will not go into details here. Data is transmitted to the computer through the scanner body 4, and the software in the computer generates a model so that the doctor can observe the scanned oral model on the monitor 6. Based on the doctor's professional knowledge and work experience, the doctor can analyze the problems in the patient's oral cavity by observing the oral model, so that the doctor can carry out treatment. With the auxiliary treatment of the oral scanner, medical efficiency is improved.

[0024] In this embodiment, the metal support tube 5 has strong structural strength and support force. The metal support tube 5 can change shape after being subjected to force, but its structural strength does not change and its structure will not be damaged. Specifically, after pulling or bending the metal support tube 5, the metal support tube 5 will straighten or bend. During the scanning process, the doctor connects the scanner body 4 with the metal support tube 5. The metal support tube 5 provides stable support for the scanner body 4 to ensure that the scanner body 4 will not fall freely downwards. Using the metal support tube 5 as a support, the doctor can place the scanner body 4 in a convenient position for easy access.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, the support includes a fixed base 10 fixed to the outer wall of the table body 1. A support rod 9 is provided on the top of the fixed base 10. A sleeve 8 is sleeved on the top of the support rod 9. A support arm 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve 8. A display 6 is fixed to the end of the support arm 7. Specifically, the support arm 7 and the display 6 are connected by bolts. The support arm 7 can drive the sleeve 8 to rotate. The sleeve 8 rotates on the support rod 9 so that the angle of the display 6 can be adjusted. This makes it easy for the doctor to pull the display 6 by hand to move it, so as to meet the doctor's needs to observe the display 6 and the three-dimensional model on the display 6.

[0026] Specifically, when doctors use an oral scanner to scan a patient's mouth, they usually need to constantly observe the three-dimensional model on the monitor 6. During this process, they also need to touch the monitor 6 with their hands to adjust the angle of the three-dimensional model for easier observation. While observing the three-dimensional model, doctors usually cannot hold the scanner body 4 with their hands. At this time, the scanner body 4 needs to be placed in a convenient position for easy access next time.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the end of the scanner body 4 is connected to a connecting tube 17, and the end of the connecting tube 17 is connected to a scanning head 16. Specifically, the principle of the oral scanner body 4 is existing technology, and its specific structure is not shown in the figure. Its principle is to implement structured light or active wavefront sampling, and then use a sensor to capture the reflection. The sensor records the pattern and measures the distortion caused by tooth curvature. Oral scanners are generally equipped with a computer for use. The computer is pre-installed with three-dimensional software to create a highly accurate three-dimensional model on the three-dimensional software.

[0028] The outer wall of the scanning head 16 is an elliptical structure; specifically, the outer wall of the scanning head 16 is an arc, which will not scratch the inner wall of the oral cavity when it moves inside the oral cavity, and the patient will not feel discomfort during the scanning process.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a threaded hole is also provided on the top of the base 12, and a fastener 14 is provided above the threaded hole. The fastener 14 is threaded into the threaded hole and can penetrate into the interior of the slot 15.

[0030] Specifically, during the process of scanning a patient's oral cavity, the doctor needs to use bolts to fasten the scanner body 4 fastener 14. The top of the fastener 14 is equipped with a knob. The doctor inserts the extension end of the connector plate 13 into the slot 15, and then manually rotates the knob at the top of the fastener 14 clockwise. The end of the fastener 14 presses down on the end of the connector plate 13, thereby locking the connector plate 13 onto the base 12. The connector plate 13 and the scanner body 4 will not detach from the base 12. At the same time, the base 12 is supported by the fixing rod 11 and will not fall off.

[0031] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
