Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of oral examination technology, and more specifically, to an oral examination device. Background Technology

[0002] Vision-based oral examination devices are used by doctors to examine the inside of a patient's mouth. These devices can acquire images of the inside of the mouth to determine if there are any oral problems such as tartar, plaque, or swollen gums.

[0003] However, it should be noted that during the intervals between oral examinations, doctors may need to perform other procedures. Since the oral examination device is constantly in visual imaging mode, it often still illuminates the patient, thus affecting the patient's privacy. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, this application provides an oral cavity detection device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An oral examination device includes: an examination device body and a protective sleeve; one end of the examination device body includes an examination part; the examination part includes a viewing window; the protective sleeve forms an accommodating cavity, and the protective sleeve also forms a window portion and a blocking portion;

[0006] The window portion communicates with the receiving cavity and is disposed opposite to the blocking portion;

[0007] The window portion and the obstruction portion are respectively adapted to the viewing window surface;

[0008] The detection unit is detachably installed in the receiving cavity of the protective sleeve in either a forward or reverse manner; wherein, the forward manner is in which the window portion corresponds to the viewing window surface; and the reverse manner is in which the blocking portion corresponds to the viewing window surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the detection unit includes a camera;

[0010] Along the direction opposite to the window portion and the obstruction portion, the window portion adopts a preset height, such that the vertical distance from the end face of the window portion away from the obstruction portion to the optical center of the camera corresponds to the focal length of the camera.

[0011] Furthermore, the window portion of the protective sleeve adopts a preset diameter and height to meet the preset viewing angle range requirements of the detection unit.

[0012] Furthermore, the required viewing angle range is 60 to 120 degrees.

[0013] Furthermore, identification marks are formed on the surface of the protective case to identify the protective case.

[0014] Furthermore, the protective cover also includes a first surface corresponding to the shielding portion; the identification mark is disposed on the first surface.

[0015] Furthermore, the identification mark is a first highlight mark.

[0016] Furthermore, the protective sleeve has a matte finish on at least the surface corresponding to the first high-gloss mark to highlight the first high-gloss mark.

[0017] Furthermore, the protective case uses a preset color to distinguish the protective case by the color.

[0018] Furthermore, the surface of the shielding portion is provided with shielding marks.

[0019] Furthermore, the occlusion mark is a second highlight mark.

[0020] Furthermore, at the position corresponding to the obstruction portion, an adaptation portion that adapts to the viewing window surface is formed on the inner side of the protective sleeve.

[0021] Furthermore, the protective cover is a silicone protective cover, a rubber protective cover, a soft PVC protective cover, a thermoplastic elastomer protective cover, or a TPR protective cover.

[0022] Furthermore, the shielding part is integrally formed with the protective cover.

[0023] Furthermore, the shielding part is detachably connected to the protective cover.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0025] In this embodiment, when the detection unit is installed in the cavity of the protective sleeve in a forward orientation, the window corresponds to the viewing window of the detection unit, and the window is connected to the cavity. Therefore, the protective sleeve provides protection without affecting the detection unit's oral visual detection. When other operations may need to be performed during the doctor's oral examination, the detection unit can be installed in the cavity of the protective sleeve in a reverse orientation. In this case, the shielding part blocks the viewing window of the detection unit, and the detection unit will not capture images during this period, thus protecting the patient's privacy.

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0034] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the oral cavity detection device provided in this application embodiment, in which the protective sleeve is installed in a forward orientation outside the detection section; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded view of the provided oral cavity testing device; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the oral cavity testing device provided in this application, in which the protective sleeve is installed in reverse outside the testing section.

[0037] This application provides an oral examination device 10, including: an examination device body 11 and a protective sleeve 12; one end of the examination device body 11 includes an examination part 111; the examination part 111 includes a viewing window 1111; the protective sleeve 12 forms an accommodating cavity, and the protective sleeve also forms a window part 121 and a blocking part 122.

[0038] In this embodiment, the detection device body 11 may include a detection unit 111 for acquiring visual images of the oral cavity. The detection unit typically includes a detection unit housing with an open end. A protective lens (i.e., the viewing window 1111 described in this embodiment) is installed at the open end. A camera 1112 corresponding to the protective lens is disposed inside the housing, and supplementary lighting sources are also provided. Typically, a handle can be fixedly connected to the end of the detection unit away from the viewing window 1111 for easy gripping and operation by the doctor. The handle typically includes a handle housing with an internal handle receiving cavity. The power control circuit can be disposed within the handle, or both can be disposed within the internal space shared by the handle housing and the detection unit housing.

[0039] It should be noted that the protective sleeve described in this application embodiment can be made of any material as needed, as long as it can meet the requirements for disassembly and assembly with the detection unit, it falls within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the protective case may be made of various existing or future similar materials such as adhesive protective cases, rubber protective cases, soft PVC protective cases, thermoplastic elastomer protective cases, or TPR protective cases.

[0041] The use of the aforementioned flexible protective sleeve facilitates easy installation and removal. Furthermore, the forward and reverse orientations described later can be switched simply by rotating the sleeve without removing it. Additionally, the sleeve's softness makes it more comfortable for patients during oral examinations.

[0042] It should be noted that the shielding part can be made of various opaque materials with shielding functions, as needed. The shielding part can be integrally formed with the protective cover, or it can be a separate component that is detachably connected to the protective cover.

[0043] The window portion 121 is in communication with the receiving cavity and is disposed opposite to the shielding portion 122.

[0044] The window portion 121 and the obstruction portion 122 are respectively adapted to the viewing window surface 1111.

[0045] Specifically, the window and the obstruction parts can be adapted according to the size and shape of the viewing window. Generally, the window part is limited to not obstructing the required viewing angle range of the viewing window, while the obstruction part is limited to obstructing the viewing window so that visual images cannot be captured through the viewing window.

[0046] The detection unit 111 is detachably installed in the receiving cavity of the protective sleeve 12 in either a forward or reverse manner; wherein, in the forward manner, the window part 121 corresponds to the viewing window surface 1111; and in the reverse manner, the blocking part 122 corresponds to the viewing window surface 1111.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the detection unit 111 is installed in the cavity of the protective sleeve 12 in a forward orientation, since the window 121 corresponds to the viewing window 1111 of the detection unit 111 and the window 121 is in communication with the cavity, the protective sleeve 12 can provide protection without affecting the detection unit 111's oral visual detection. When other operations may need to be performed during the doctor's oral examination, the detection unit 111 can be installed in the cavity of the protective sleeve 12 in a reverse orientation. In this case, the blocking part 122 blocks the viewing window 1111 of the detection unit 111, and the detection unit 111 will not capture images during this period, thereby protecting the patient's privacy.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 for Figure 1 A magnified schematic diagram of a partial cross-sectional structure of the provided oral examination device.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, as described in the preceding embodiments, the detection unit 111 includes a camera 1112.

[0050] Along the direction opposite to the window portion 121 and the blocking portion 122, the window portion 121 adopts a preset height H so that the vertical distance from the end face of the window portion 121 away from the blocking portion 122 to the optical center of the camera 1112 corresponds to the focal length of the camera.

[0051] This embodiment of the application adopts a preset height for the window, which makes the vertical distance from the end face of the window away from the obstruction to the optical center of the camera correspond to the focal length of the camera. In this way, the doctor only needs to place the end face of the window against the surface of the target object (such as the tooth to be tested) to complete the focusing during the operation, which eliminates the trouble of additional focal length calibration and improves the detection speed and convenience.

[0052] In addition, since the protective cover is detachably assembled with the testing unit, multiple protective covers with different heights and sizes can be pre-designed to fit the specifications of different cameras inside the testing unit. This allows for installation on the outside of various testing units as needed, thereby improving the versatility of oral testing.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the window portion 121 of the protective cover 12 has a preset diameter and height to meet the preset viewing angle range requirements of the detection unit 111. In a preferred embodiment, the viewing angle range is required to be 60 degrees to 120 degrees.

[0054] Typically, the detection unit needs to meet a certain detection viewing angle range. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the diameter and / or height of the window to ensure that the window does not obstruct the detection unit within the aforementioned viewing angle range. For example, based on the previous embodiments, the window usually needs to adopt a preset height to match the focal length. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the diameter of the window to ensure that the window does not obstruct the detection unit within the preset viewing angle range.

[0055] Continue as Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, an identification mark 123 is formed on the surface of the protective cover 12 to identify the protective cover 12 by means of the identification mark.

[0056] Specifically, the identification marks can be different symbols, numbers, words, or pictures, etc., as long as the corresponding protective case can be identified based on each identification mark, they fall within the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, the marks can be attached to the surface of the protective case 12 by various methods such as printing or pasting. Additionally, the identification marks can be made of various materials and colors as needed.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the identification mark 123 is a first highlight mark, which facilitates the identification of the identification mark.

[0058] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve 12 has a matte surface (e.g., textured surface) at least corresponding to the surface of the first highlight mark to highlight the first highlight mark.

[0059] This application embodiment forms an identification mark on the surface of the protective cover, which can identify each protective cover, thereby facilitating doctors to accurately and quickly identify the required protective cover from multiple protective covers, and helping to improve the speed and convenience of doctors' operations.

[0060] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the protective cover 12 also includes a first surface corresponding to the shielding portion 122, on which an identification mark 123 is disposed.

[0061] In this embodiment, since the first surface on one side of the shielding part is relatively flat, visual obstruction caused by the window part is avoided, and the first surface is often facing the doctor during the examination, thus facilitating the doctor's identification of the identification mark.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the protective case 12 uses a preset color.

[0063] By using preset colors, protective cases can be distinguished by color. That is, different sizes of protective cases are distinguished by different colors, which makes it easier for doctors to identify the target protective case more intuitively.

[0064] Continue as Figure 3 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a shielding mark 124 is provided on the surface of the shielding portion 122.

[0065] Specifically, the obscuring marks can be various symbols, numbers, words, or pictures, as long as they allow for quick identification of the obscuring portion of the protective case, they fall within the scope of this application. Furthermore, the obscuring marks can be attached to the surface of the protective case using various methods such as printing or pasting. Additionally, the obscuring marks can be made of various materials and colors as needed.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the occlusion mark 124 is a second highlight mark, which facilitates the identification of the occlusion mark.

[0067] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve 12 has a matte finish (e.g., textured finish) on at least the surface corresponding to the second highlight mark to accentuate the second highlight mark.

[0068] This application embodiment, by setting obstruction marks on the surface of the obstruction part, can quickly identify the obstruction part on the protective cover, thereby facilitating doctors or patients and other inexperienced personnel to assemble the protective cover onto the detection part in either the forward or reverse manner as needed.

[0069] like Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the protective sleeve provided in this application.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, at the position corresponding to the shielding portion 122, an adapter portion 125 is formed on the inner side of the protective sleeve to adapt to the viewing window surface 1111.

[0071] By forming an adapter, the shielding part can be installed onto the detection part in reverse to protect the viewing window.

[0072] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.
