Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tongue diagnosis auxiliary devices, specifically referring to a tongue diagnosis AI image acquisition device. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of medical technology, artificial intelligence-based image processing technology is increasingly being applied to various medical image analyses, particularly in inspection, one of the four diagnostic methods in traditional Chinese medicine. In recent years, a variety of AI-assisted diagnostic tools have emerged on the market, aiming to improve doctors' work efficiency and accuracy. Among these are products specifically designed to capture tongue images, which typically integrate high-definition cameras and other sensors to obtain high-quality data sources.

[0003] Existing AI image acquisition devices for tongue diagnosis mostly use a shell to enclose the acquisition camera to prevent overexposure of the image acquisition, and use a fixed support mechanism to support the chin to facilitate the user to stick out the tongue for acquisition. However, during use, saliva is easy to drip into the device, which is inconvenient to clean, and oral liquid overflow can cause safety hazards. In addition, the device is mostly placed directly on the table for use, and the fixed support mechanism cannot be adjusted for the support height. Users of different heights need to raise their height or bend over excessively when using it, resulting in poor comfort. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes a tongue diagnosis AI image acquisition device, including a protective shell 1 and an AI image acquisition camera 2. The protective shell 1 is a shell-shaped structure with an inlet 101 on one side. The AI ​​image acquisition camera 2 is located on the rear inner side of the protective shell 1. An exhaust fan 6 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the protective shell 1 away from the inlet 101. One end of the exhaust fan 6 is connected to the protective shell 1 through a vent 601 for ventilation inside the protective shell 1. A supplementary light 7 is fixedly installed above the AI ​​image acquisition camera 2 on the inner side of the protective shell 1 to provide supplementary lighting for the tongue and increase the brightness of the image. An ultraviolet lamp 8 is fixedly installed on the upper inner side of the protective shell 1 for sterilization inside the protective shell 1.

[0027] like Figure 1-3As shown, it also includes a drive assembly 3 and a fixing assembly 5: Slide grooves 102 are provided on both sides of the inlet 101. The drive assembly 3 is located at the inlet 101 and includes a movable frame 304. The movable frame 304 is slidably connected to the slide grooves 102 on both sides. A support plate 4 is fixedly provided on the upper part of the movable frame 304 to control the lifting and lowering of the support plate 4. The upper part of the support plate 4 is made of soft rubber and has a support groove 401 to increase support comfort. A base plate 103 is fixedly provided on the top of the slide grooves 102. 3 includes a motor 301 and a lead screw 302. The motor 301 is fixed on the base plate 103. The lead screw 302 is rotatably located at the bottom inside the protective shell 1, and its upper end rotatably passes through the base plate 103 and is shaft-connected to the motor 301. The lead screw 302 is vertically threaded through one side of the movable frame 304 to control the moving frame 304 to rise. A limiting guide rod 303 is vertically fixed at the bottom inside the protective shell 1. The limiting guide rod 303 slides vertically through the other side of the movable frame 304 to limit the moving direction of the movable frame 304.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a support frame 104 is fixedly installed on the lower inner side of the protective shell 1. The fixing component 5 is installed on the support frame 104. The support frame 104 is designed as an inverted U-shaped structure. The fixing component 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 501. The fixed end of the electric telescopic rod 501 is fixedly installed at the bottom inner side of the support frame 104. The movable end of the electric telescopic rod 501 slides through the support frame 104. A pressure plate 502 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 501. An inverted L-shaped top plate 503 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the support frame 104. The pressure plate 502 and the top plate 503 cooperate with each other to complete the clamping. An elastic rope 504 is provided on the side of the support plate 4 away from the support frame 104. The two ends of the elastic rope 504 are fixedly connected to the support frame 104, and the middle position is movably fitted with the support plate 4.

[0029] In practical use, place the protective case 1 on the table, select a disposable nursing pad, place one end of the nursing pad between the top plate 503 and the pressure plate 502, start the electric telescopic rod 501 to control the pressure plate 502 to rise and fix one end of the nursing pad, pull the other end of the nursing pad between the elastic rope 504 and the support plate 4, and fix it with the help of the pressure of the elastic rope 504. This allows for quick replacement and fixation of the nursing pad, avoids the inconvenience of cleaning and deodorizing saliva dripping into the protective case 1 during use, and reduces the safety hazards caused by oral liquid overflow.

[0030] Based on the user's height, the motor 301 is started to rotate the lead screw 302. Under the limiting guide rod 303 and the sliding groove 102, the moving frame 304 is controlled to move the tray 4 up and down to the height required by the user. This eliminates the need for the user to raise their body or bend over excessively, making it convenient and comfortable to use. It also improves the service efficiency of the instrument for patients of different heights. When the patient's chin rests against the tray 401, the AI ​​image acquisition camera 2 and the supplementary light 7 are turned on to acquire an AI image of the tongue. After the acquisition is completed, the electric telescopic rod 501 is started to release the fixation of the nursing pad and remove the nursing pad. The exhaust fan 6 and the ultraviolet lamp 8 are started to sterilize and deodorize the inside of the protective shell 1, keeping the inside of the protective shell 1 sterile and odorless.

[0031] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
