Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0018] It should be noted that, 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 is for the purpose of describing embodiments of this application only and is not intended to limit this application.

[0019] Currently, in related technologies, oral images for dental diagnosis and treatment are all acquired using professional cameras. However, using such professional cameras requires certain skills and experience, and the operation demands a high level of expertise. At the same time, professional cameras have limited functionality, and the photos taken require at least two people to complete the operation. They cannot be displayed in real time on a convenient display screen, and the images need to be exported before analysis, which is inefficient and not conducive to communication between doctors and patients.

[0020] In the process of oral diagnosis and treatment, taking high-quality oral images is crucial for diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient education. Currently, relevant technologies for acquiring oral images in oral diagnosis and treatment generally utilize tools such as digital cameras, intraoral cameras, and CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography).

[0021] However, using professional cameras requires certain skills and experience, and demands a high level of expertise in operation. In addition, professional cameras have limited functionality, require at least two people to operate, and cannot be displayed in real time on a convenient display screen. The images need to be exported before analysis, which is inefficient and hinders communication between doctors and patients.

[0022] Based on this, in order to achieve real-time transmission of oral images to a terminal for easy observation, and simultaneously detect dental plaque to improve the efficiency of doctors' diagnosis and treatment, this application provides an oral examination and imaging device and system. The device includes: a camera module for capturing oral images; a transmission module for transmitting the oral images, the transmission module including a wired transmission module and a wireless transmission module; a light detection module, the light detection module including multiple detection units, the multiple detection units being LED beads emitting near-ultraviolet light, the light detection module being used to detect dental plaque; a power module, the power module being connected to the camera module, the transmission module and the light detection module respectively, and supplying power to the camera module, the transmission module and the light detection module through the power module; and an oral cavity opening module for supporting the oral cavity and keeping the oral cavity open, the oral cavity opening module being connected to the camera module. The transmission module of the oral examination imaging device can transmit data with a terminal with a display screen. The mouth opening module keeps the mouth open. When the oral image is captured, the transmission module transmits the oral image to the terminal with a display screen in real time, so that the oral image can be viewed on the display screen. At the same time, the light detection module can detect dental plaque during the shooting, further improving the efficiency of doctors' diagnosis and treatment.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an oral cavity imaging device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is an exploded view of an oral cavity examination imaging device provided in an embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the oral cavity examination imaging device includes: a camera module 100, a transmission module 200, a light detection module 300, a power supply module 400, and an mouth opener module 500.

[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the camera module 100 is used to capture oral cavity images and can be a device capable of recording video or film, including but not limited to: a camera and a video recorder, capable of acquiring images of the patient's oral cavity in real time to generate oral cavity images. For example, in a feasible embodiment of this application, a high-definition camera with two million high-resolution pixels, 30 frames per second low-light capability, wide dynamic range stabilization, and an imaging distance of 25-60mm is used as the camera module 100. The camera module 100 only needs to be able to clearly acquire oral cavity images; this application does not impose excessive restrictions on the selection of the device for the camera module 100.

[0025] The transmission module 200 is used to transmit the oral cavity image. The transmission module 200 includes a wired transmission module 210 and a wireless transmission module 220.

[0026] In this embodiment, the wired transmission module 210 can be implemented using a USB interface.

[0027] The wired transmission module 210 connects the oral cavity imaging device to a terminal with a display screen via a signal transmission line. The signal transmission line can be a USB Type-C interface cable, and the wired transmission module 210 is configured with a corresponding USB Type-C interface. One end of the signal transmission line connects to the wired transmission module 210 provided in this embodiment, and the other end connects to the terminal with the display screen, thereby enabling data transmission. When the oral cavity imaging device is used for imaging, the oral cavity image can be transmitted to the terminal in real time for display. This application does not impose excessive restrictions on the choice of signal transmission line.

[0028] In this embodiment, the wireless transmission module uses WiFi or Bluetooth for transmission.

[0029] The wireless transmission module 220 connects the oral cavity imaging device to a terminal with a display screen via a wireless connection chip. The wireless connection chip can be a Bluetooth chip or a WiFi chip. When the oral cavity imaging device is used to take pictures, the oral cavity image is transmitted to the terminal with a display screen via wireless signal transmission and displayed on the terminal.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the wireless transmission module uses a 5.8GHz band image transmission module and the H.265 image transmission protocol. Using a 5.8GHz band image transmission module with the H.265 encoding standard enables efficient, low-latency, and high-quality wireless video transmission, reducing data volume by approximately 50% while maintaining the same visual quality. The efficient encoding algorithm helps reduce the latency from camera capture to image display throughout the system, which is crucial for real-time applications. In this embodiment, the 5.8GHz band image transmission module allows for not only image transmission during oral imaging but also real-time observation of the oral environment during image capture, aiding doctors in diagnosis and treatment.

[0031] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the terminal can be a device with receiving and display functions. The receiving function is implemented through wired or wireless transmission, and the display function can be implemented through a display screen. It can include, but is not limited to, smart devices such as smartphones, computers, smart voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, vehicle terminals, and aircraft.

[0032] In this embodiment of the application, the oral examination imaging device further includes a light detection module 300, which detects dental plaque in the patient's oral cavity. The light detection module 300 includes multiple detection units, and the multiple detection units use LED beads that emit near-ultraviolet light.

[0033] Near-ultraviolet (NIUV) light analysis of dental plaque is a non-invasive diagnostic method. It uses ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to illuminate the oral cavity, causing certain components in the plaque to fluoresce. This makes it easier to identify and assess the presence and distribution of plaque. When UV light shines on plaque, substances such as porphyrins within it absorb the UV light and re-emit visible light, producing fluorescence. This fluorescence typically appears in the blue-green spectrum. Because teeth themselves do not produce the same fluorescent response to UV light, a clear color difference is created between the plaque area and the clean tooth surface, facilitating observation.

[0034] For example, in one embodiment of this application, six LED beads capable of emitting 405nm ultraviolet light are used as detection units to form a light detection module 300 capable of detecting dental plaque. The light detection unit can directly detect dental plaque during oral imaging for diagnosis, eliminating the need for subsequent image processing and improving diagnostic efficiency.

[0035] It should be noted that, in order to help doctors clearly observe the condition inside the patient's mouth when taking oral images, the oral examination imaging device in this embodiment of the application also includes a supplementary light module, which includes multiple supplementary light units.

[0036] For example, in this embodiment of the application, multiple supplementary lighting units in the supplementary lighting module can use warm light lamps to supplement the patient's oral cavity, thereby making the acquired oral cavity image clearer. Specifically, the warm light lamp can be a yellow warm light lamp with a color temperature of 4500K. This application does not impose too many restrictions on the specific color of the supplementary lighting units.

[0037] The embodiments of this application, through the supplementary lighting module, can help doctors to clearly capture oral images during oral imaging.

[0038] In this embodiment, the power module 400 is connected to the camera module 100, the transmission module 200 and the light detection module 300 respectively, and supplies power to the camera module 100, the transmission module 200 and the light detection module 300 through the power module 400.

[0039] The battery module 400 is powered by a battery 410. In a feasible embodiment of this application, the battery 410 has a capacity of 1800 mAh, which can guarantee 60 minutes of shooting time, allowing doctors to have sufficient time to take pictures while ensuring the portability of the oral examination imaging device.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the battery module 400 further includes a charging interface 420, which is connected to the battery 410 and used for wired charging of the battery 410. The charging interface 420 can be implemented using a USB interface; for example, in one embodiment of this application, a USB Type-C interface can be used as the charging interface.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the charging interface 420 of the battery module 400 can use the same interface as the wired transmission module 210 to simplify the structure.

[0042] In this embodiment, the battery module 400 further includes a charging coil 430, which is connected to the battery 410 and used for wireless charging of the battery 410. The charging coil 430 utilizes the principle of electromagnetic induction; by receiving electromagnetic signals emitted by the wireless charger through the charging coil 430 in the power supply module, a current is induced due to the alternating magnetic field, thereby charging the battery 410.

[0043] This embodiment of the application uses a battery module 400 to power other modules in the oral cavity imaging device, and uses a charging interface 420 that enables wired charging and a charging coil 430 that enables wireless charging, making charging the oral cavity imaging device more convenient.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mouth opening module 500 is used to support the oral cavity and keep the oral cavity open. When oral images need to be taken during diagnosis and treatment, the mouth opening module 500 can open the patient's oral cavity, so that at least two doctors do not need to take oral images.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mouth opening module 500 is connected to the camera module 100. Considering that the oral cavity size of each patient is different, different models of mouth opening devices can be used as the mouth opening module 500. The mouth opening module 500 includes a protruding structure, and the camera module 100 includes a groove structure corresponding to the protruding structure. The mouth opening module 500 is detachably connected to the groove structure of the camera module through the protruding structure.

[0046] For example, in one embodiment of this application, the mouth opener module 500 may include three sizes of mouth openers: large, medium, and small. Each mouth opener includes a protrusion structure 510, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the camera module 100 includes a groove structure 520 (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the protrusion structure 510. The opening module 500 is connected to the camera module 100 through the protrusion structure 510. Figure 4The mouth opener module 500 shown uses a large mouth opener. When the patient is a child, whose mouth is small, the large mouth opener can be replaced with a small mouth opener to fit the size of the patient's mouth.

[0047] In this embodiment, by providing a detachable mouth opener module 500, different models of mouth openers can be replaced to accommodate different patients' oral cavity sizes, thus meeting the patients' needs. At the same time, the detachable mouth opener module 500 is easy to clean and can be disassembled and cleaned after treatment, ensuring the hygiene of the oral examination imaging device.
