Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of teaching aids, and in particular to a tongue diagnosis teaching model. Background Technology
[0002] Tongue diagnosis is an important component of the four diagnostic methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine (inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry and palpation). By observing the characteristics of the tongue, such as its texture, coating, and shape, it can help determine the function of the internal organs, the state of Qi and blood, and the syndrome of diseases.
[0003] However, traditional tongue diagnosis teaching mainly relies on two-dimensional pictures and text descriptions, which makes it difficult to truly reproduce the three-dimensional dynamic observation process of clinical tongue diagnosis. This cannot meet the needs of modern TCM teaching and can easily lead to cognitive biases among learners in clinical practice, affecting the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.

This effectively solves the problem of spatial conversion between two-dimensional image recognition and three-dimensional tongue features in traditional tongue diagnosis teaching, facilitating user identification of tongue features. The syndrome verification unit is movable within the storage area, allowing it to move relative to the tongue. When the user judges the tongue features, the first identification area is hidden; when the user needs to verify their judgment, the first identification area is displayed, thus deepening the user's impression and enhancing the training effect. In other words, users can judge TCM syndromes based on tongue features and further verify them using the TCM syndrome verification unit, achieving a linked teaching of "observation through observation - syndrome identification," improving teaching interactivity and diagnostic thinking training effectiveness. It should be understood that the setting of "tongue features" is adapted to "TCM syndromes," with different TCM syndromes corresponding to different tongue features. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0037] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a tongue diagnosis teaching model, including a tongue body 1 and a syndrome verification unit 2. The tongue body 1 has a tongue image feature display area 11 and a storage area 12. The tongue image feature display area 11 has preset tongue image features. The syndrome verification unit 2 has a first identification area 21 for displaying the syndrome name. The syndrome verification unit 2 is movably installed in the storage area 12 so that it can move relative to the tongue body 1, and the first identification area 21 can be hidden inside or exposed within the tongue body 1.
[0038] It is easy to understand that in the above scheme, by setting the preset tongue features on the three-dimensional tongue body 1 structure, users can more intuitively observe the tongue features, effectively solving the problem of spatial conversion between two-dimensional image cognition and three-dimensional tongue body 1 features in traditional tongue diagnosis teaching, making it easier for users to identify tongue features. The syndrome verification unit 2 is movably installed in the storage area 12 so that it can move relative to the tongue body 1. When the user makes a judgment on the tongue features, the first identification area 21 can be hidden, and when the user needs to verify their judgment, the first identification area 21 can be displayed, thereby deepening the user's impression and enhancing the training effect. In other words, users can judge the TCM syndrome based on the tongue features and further verify it using the TCM syndrome verification unit 2, to achieve linked teaching of "observation by observation - syndrome identification," improving teaching interactivity and the effectiveness of diagnostic thinking training.
[0039] It should be understood that the setting of "tongue appearance characteristics" is adapted to "traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types", and different traditional Chinese medicine syndrome types will correspond to different tongue appearance characteristics.
[0040] To facilitate accurate identification, in this embodiment, the tongue feature display area 11 includes a tongue surface 111 and a tongue side surface 112; the tongue surface 111 and the tongue side surface 112 form different tongue features; the tongue surface 111 is divided into several regions, and different regions form different tongue features.
[0041] Specifically, the tongue body 1 has a tongue root 13 and a tongue tip 14 arranged opposite to each other, and a tongue middle part 15 connecting the tongue root 13 and the tongue tip 14. The tongue surfaces 111 of the tongue root 13, the tongue middle part 15 and the tongue tip 14 have different tongue appearance characteristics, which can be set according to the tongue appearance characteristics corresponding to the actual TCM disease.
[0042] Furthermore, the pre-defined tongue features include one or more of the following: three-dimensional teeth marks, ecchymosis, cracks, and thick, greasy coating.
[0043] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the tongue image features (including the tongue image features, the size of the tongue body 1, the thickness of different areas of the tongue body 1, etc.) can be accurately displayed, in this embodiment, the tongue body 1 is integrally formed by 3D printing.
[0044] See Figures 1 to 4 The certificate verification unit 2 also has a second identification area 22; the second identification area 22 is equipped with a barcode, which can be scanned by the user to obtain one or more of the following: detailed explanation information of the corresponding certificate type and storage location information of the tongue 1.
[0045] It should be understood that obtaining detailed explanations of syndrome types can further assist users in their learning. Since different tongue diagnosis teaching models present different syndrome types for the tongue body 1, and there are many syndrome types in traditional Chinese medicine, there are also many tongue diagnosis teaching models used in teaching. In order to facilitate storage and management, users can store the tongue diagnosis teaching models according to the storage location information of the obtained tongue body 1 (i.e., the tongue diagnosis teaching model).
[0046] See Figures 1 to 4 The storage area 12 is located at the base of the tongue 13, and the opening of the storage area 12 is located on the side wall of the base of the tongue 13 away from the tip of the tongue 14; the verification part 2 is detachably installed in the storage area 12 and can slide away from the tip of the tongue 14.
[0047] Specifically, the certificate verification unit 2 includes a slide plate 23 and a locking member 24; wherein, the slide plate 23 is slidably installed in the storage area 12, and the first marking area 21 and the second marking area 22 are both provided on the slide plate 23; the slide plate 23 can slide along the storage area 12 to detach from the tongue body 1; the locking member 24 is used to fix the slide plate 23 on the tongue body 1.
[0048] It is understandable that the sliding piece 23 can slide along the receiving area 12 to detach from the tongue body 1, thereby disrupting the cooperative relationship between the two during teaching and training. That is, the syndrome verification part 2 and the tongue body 1 of several tongue diagnosis teaching models can be shuffled and then matched for training, thereby enhancing the training effect. Of course, in other embodiments, a limiting structure (such as a limiting block) can also be set at the exit of the receiving area 12 to restrict the detachment of the syndrome verification part 2 and the tongue body 1, which can be set according to actual needs.
[0049] Furthermore, the locking member 24 includes a plurality of elastic rubber pillars fixed on the slide plate 23; the side wall of the tongue root portion 13 is provided with locking holes, and the elastic rubber pillars can be interference-fitted with the locking holes to fix the slide plate 23 and the tongue root portion 13.
[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the locking member 24 can also be a screw, and the locking hole can be a screw hole, thereby fixing the slide 23 and the tongue root 13 by means of threaded connection. Alternatively, the locking member 24 can be a pair of magnetic plates, one of which is fixed on the slide 23 and the other is fixed on the tongue root 13, thereby fixing the two relative to each other by magnetic attraction.
[0051] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
