[0002] Traditional auricular acupuncture diagnosis relies primarily on visual observation by physicians, which has several limitations: First, the quality of diagnosis is easily affected by the physician's professional competence, technical level, and external environment (such as lighting conditions and temperature changes). Inaccurate acupoint location can not only reduce efficacy but also pose a risk of misdiagnosis, affecting the patient's condition. Second, due to the dense spatial distribution of acupoints on the ear, practical operation often faces challenges such as long identification time, low positioning accuracy, and poor operational efficiency, which can easily lead to human misjudgment or positioning errors, directly affecting the effectiveness of subsequent treatment. In addition, existing techniques are highly dependent on the accumulation of physicians' clinical experience, requiring operators to cultivate professional skills through long-term practice, resulting in a long training cycle and increased medical resource costs, thus hindering the standardized promotion of the diagnostic and treatment techniques.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, it will now be further described in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative and explanatory purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0018] Example 1: like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an ear acupoint auxiliary identification and positioning device, including a main body 1 with an outer shell 11, a suspension bracket 2 movably connected to the outer shell 11, and a camera module 3 disposed at the end of the suspension bracket 2; the outer shell 11 is provided with a display unit 12 fixedly embedded in its front side, and the camera module 3 is provided with at least one camera unit 31. For example, by increasing the number of camera units 31, it can adapt to more complex shooting environments and scenes, and improve the clarity and realism of the acquired ear images. Specifically, the camera unit 31 is a camera, and the display unit 12 is a display; the camera unit 31 is connected to the main body 1 to transmit the ear image data it acquires to the main body 1, and the display unit 12 is connected to the main body 1 to display the auxiliary positioning image with ear acupoints processed by the main body 1.

[0019] Furthermore, the main unit 1 also includes a mainboard housed within the outer casing 11, and a main control chip, communication module, storage module, power supply module, etc., configured on the main board. The main unit 1 is connected to the camera module 3 via wires or the communication module. The communication module includes one or more wireless signal transmission architectures such as wireless network card, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, 3G / 4G / 5G, etc. In addition, the storage module stores a computer program that sets up the display of ear acupoints or automatically identifies and locates ear acupoints based on ear images captured by the camera unit 31. The main control chip processes the received ear image data and marks acupoints by running the above program, and finally displays an auxiliary guidance reference image with ear acupoint markings to the operator via the display unit 12. It should be noted that the above computer program can be an ear acupoint recognition and marking software program or model (such as artificial intelligence image recognition, neural network, ear acupoint recognition big data model, etc.) file, etc., which are mature existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] The suspension bracket 2 includes at least one horizontal support arm 21 movably connected to the outer casing 11, and at least one vertical support arm 22 movably disposed at the end of the horizontal support arm 21. When multiple horizontal support arms 21 or multiple vertical support arms 22 are provided, the multiple horizontal support arms 21 or multiple vertical support arms 22 are movably connected end to end to provide greater flexibility and freedom in spatial position adjustment. The camera module 3 is movably disposed at the end of the vertical support arm 22, or the camera module 3 is fixedly embedded in the vertical support arm 22. Specifically, refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the camera module 3 is fixedly embedded in the longitudinal support arm 22.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the horizontal support arm 21 and the vertical support arm 22 are movably connected by a connector 4 that is connected to both of them. Specifically, the connector 4 is movably hinged to the horizontal support arm 21 via a first hinge shaft 5, and to the vertical support arm 22 via a second hinge shaft 6. The first hinge shaft 5 and the second hinge shaft 6 are perpendicular to each other, so that the vertical support arm 22 has two degrees of freedom for adjustment relative to the horizontal support arm 21. It should be noted that the above structure is only a preferred structural method for realizing the free adjustment of the spatial position of the vertical support arm 22 and the camera module 3 located at the end of the vertical support arm 22.

[0022] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the horizontal support arm 21 has two sections. One section of the horizontal support arm 21 is movably hinged to the outer casing 11 via a third hinge shaft 7, and movably hinged to the other section of the horizontal support arm 21 via a fourth hinge shaft 8. The vertical support arm 22 is movably disposed at the end of the other section of the horizontal support arm 21. The third hinge shaft 7 and the fourth hinge shaft 8 are parallel. Furthermore, although the third hinge shaft 7 is shown in the figure at the top of the outer casing 11, in actual applications, the third hinge shaft 7 can be disposed at any position on the outer casing 11, such as the left, right, or bottom, etc., and its specific location can be determined according to actual needs.

[0023] Optionally, in some embodiments, the suspension bracket 2 is a flexible tube that can be bent, and the camera module 3 is movably disposed at the end of the flexible tube. The flexible tube is a flexible tube that can be shaped after bending to ensure sufficient support for the camera module 3, such as a flexible metal shaped flexible tube, PTFR flexible tube, PFA flexible tube, nylon flexible tube, polyethylene flexible tube, etc.

[0024] Further reference Figure 2 As shown, the camera module 3 also includes at least one supplementary lighting unit 32 arranged at intervals from the camera unit 31. The supplementary lighting unit 32 is connected to the main body 1. The supplementary lighting unit 32 can provide sufficient optical fiber when the ambient light is insufficient to ensure the clarity of the ear image captured by the camera unit 31. The supplementary lighting unit 32 can specifically be a supplementary light.

[0025] Furthermore, in practical use, the main unit 1 and the outer casing 11 can be fixed to a bedside table, wall, or bracket to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. For example, they can be clamped to a bedside table or adsorbed and hung on a wall. At the same time, the camera unit 31 is preferably arranged facing the display unit 12, and the planes on which the two are located are parallel, so that the user's ear area and the display unit 12 are arranged in the same direction. In this way, during specific ear acupressure or ear acupuncture treatment, it is convenient for doctors to perform acupoint location and acupoint selection operations face-to-face with the user. At the same time, the display unit 12 can obtain auxiliary guidance reference for ear acupoint identification and positioning, and the display unit 12 can clearly, intuitively, and in real time display the specific location of the acupoints located by the doctor, thereby improving the accuracy and objectivity of acupoint identification and positioning, reducing the error of manual identification and judgment, and improving the operational efficiency of ear acupoint identification and positioning.
