Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oral cavity detection technology, and in particular to an oral cavity detection device with a stable structure. Background Technology

[0002] The oral cavity is the entrance to the human digestive and respiratory tracts, playing vital physiological functions such as chewing, swallowing, and speech / expression. It is also one of the main routes for pathogenic microorganisms to invade the body. Regular oral checkups and maintaining oral health are crucial for overall health and a normal life. Oral probing devices are the most commonly used instruments for oral examinations, providing a clear picture of the oral cavity's internal health and facilitating timely medical attention. However, existing oral probing devices suffer from problems such as unclear results, instability during use, and insufficient waterproofing.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN212546889U (publication date: February 19, 2021) discloses a medical oral cavity detection device. This device uses a camera and a light mounted on a dental mirror, and a rechargeable battery and a memory unit on the handle of the connecting rod. The camera, light, and memory are all electrically connected to the rechargeable battery, and the camera and memory are communicatively connected, achieving the purpose of facilitating observation of the oral cavity and saving the examination results. Chinese utility model patent CN217987527U (publication date: December 9, 2022) discloses a multifunctional oral cavity detection device. This device not only detects the oral cavity but also, by setting a conduit on the detection rod and connecting it to a water outlet, achieves the purpose of treating oral secretions and stopping oral bleeding. While both patents achieve the purpose of oral cavity detection, they both neglect the issues of waterproofing during the detection process and unclear detection results.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN221949768U (publication date: November 5, 2024) discloses a multi-probe oral scanning type oral cavity detector. The detector uses a fixing block to make the top of the detector body and the connector more tightly connected, preventing the top of the oral cavity detector from shaking. This patent can alleviate the stability of the detector during use to a certain extent. However, since it only considers the stable connection of the external structure, the effect is limited.

[0005] Chinese utility model patent CN219982841U (publication date: November 10, 2023) discloses a portable visual smart oral probe pen for home use. This patent improves the dustproof and protective properties of the visual probe by using a block to block the visual probe, but it only addresses the dustproof issue of the probe and ignores the protection of the entire probe pen.

[0006] To address several shortcomings of existing technologies, the applicant's technical team has made improvements in these areas. To provide more comprehensive protection, the applicant has filed three patent applications: an oral cavity detection device, an oral cavity detection device with a stable structure, and an oral cavity detection device with a camera. This application pertains to an oral cavity detection device with a stable structure, primarily addressing the instability issue encountered during the use of oral cavity detection devices.
