Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a detection device, and particularly to a mold detection device capable of immediately displaying and analyzing mold and providing a rapid and accurate detection result.

Background Art

[0002] The growth of mold not only affects the hygiene of the indoor environment but may also cause deterioration and damage to various items such as clothing, shoes, electronic components, optical lenses, bathroom hardware, leather products, wooden furniture, and ceramics. Some types of mold can be visually identified with the naked eye at the initial stage of growth and show obvious spots. However, many types are difficult to notice and are easily overlooked at the initial stage, and then spread to cause serious contamination.

[0003] Detecting the number of molds is an important basis and crucial step for monitoring and controlling molds. Conventional detection methods often rely on manual sampling and sending samples to a laboratory for analysis. The process usually includes procedures such as on-site sampling, sample inspection, culture growth, and microscopic observation, and finally, experts determine the growth status of molds based on experience. This method not only takes time and effort but also cannot provide detection results immediately, making it difficult to effectively prevent the occurrence and spread of molds. Moreover, conventional detection methods need to rely on specialized laboratory equipment and technicians, and have high operation requirements, which is disadvantageous for popularization and commercial application. Therefore, it is urgent to propose an innovative and practical mold detection device to overcome the above technical barriers and usage limitations.

[0009] We will now further describe the present invention in conjunction with drawings of preferred embodiments of the present invention so that those skilled in the art may carry out the present invention in accordance with the description herein.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1-5, the bacteria detection device according to the present invention comprises a portable autofocus microscope 10 and a display device 20.

[0011] The portable autofocus microscope 10 comprises a microscope body 11, a pressure-type switch 12, a power supply component 13, a circuit device 14, and an optical lens component 15.

[0012] The microscope body 11 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and consists of a housing 11A and a base 11B.

[0013] The pressure-type switch 12 is installed on the microscope body 11 and is used to control the on / off state of the portable autofocus microscope 10 and to activate the detection flow.

[0014] The power supply component 13 is installed inside the microscope body 11 and supplies power to all the electronic components of the portable autofocus microscope 10. The power supply component 13 is an internal power supply and may have a charging port (not shown) for external charging.

[0015] The circuit unit 14 is installed inside the microscope body 11 and has a wireless connection module 141. The circuit unit 14 processes image data, controls the focus adjustment motor, manages the illumination light source, and communicates with the display device 20. The wireless connection module 141 can directly transmit images taken by the portable autofocus microscope 10 to the display device 20 via wireless connectivity, thereby eliminating the need for cumbersome data cable connections and improving flexibility and convenience of use. The wireless connection module 141 may employ wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or infrared wireless communication protocols.

[0016] The optical lens component 15 is installed at the bottom of the microscope body 11 and has an illumination light source that also performs an automatic focusing function. The automatic focusing function uses a built-in sensor and motor to automatically adjust the focal length, ensuring image clarity at all times, effectively reducing the difficulty of operation, and improving detection efficiency and accuracy. The illumination light source employs highly efficient and long-lasting light-emitting diode (LED) elements and also has a brightness adjustment function, thereby meeting the requirements of various samples and ambient light.

[0017] The display device 20 performs wireless communication with the portable autofocus microscope 10 via the wireless connection module 141, and thereby receives the images captured by the portable autofocus microscope 10. A dedicated application (APP) is installed on the display device 20. When the APP runs on the display device 20, it can immediately display the images and perform analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) based on the images, thereby providing the detection result of mold. In this embodiment, the display device 20 is a smartphone, but it is not limited thereto, and it can also be a tablet terminal or other equipment with display and computing functions.

[0018] The present invention can be widely applied not only to general residential environments but also to places with high requirements for environmental control such as factory buildings and storage locations. As shown in FIG. 6, when in use, the portable autofocus microscope 10 is placed on the inspection object, and the portable autofocus microscope 10 is activated by pressing the push-type switch 12. Immediately, the power supply component 13 starts to supply power, the optical lens component 15 automatically activates the illumination light source, automatically focuses according to the touched inspection object, and ensures the sharpness of the image. Then, the wireless connection module 141 connects to the display device 20 and immediately transmits the image to the APP of the display device 20.

[0019] This APP performs functions such as immediately displaying images, saving images, performing artificial intelligence (AI) analysis, and creating reports. The user can immediately observe the images through the APP and adjust parameters such as the magnification rate and the brightness of the light source as needed. After the quality of the image reaches the optimal state, as shown in FIG. 7, take a picture and upload the image to activate the artificial intelligence (AI) analysis function. The device automatically identifies based on the characteristics of the image and determines whether it is mold. When it is determined that it is not mold, as shown in FIG. 8, the screen displays "This is not mold". When it is determined that it may be mold, as shown in FIG. 9, the screen displays "This may be mold". Thereby, the user can quickly grasp the mold situation in the environment and take appropriate measures.

[0020] Furthermore, Figure 10 shows another example of the bacteria detection device of the present invention, which differs from the above embodiment in that the microscope body 11 has an upright cylindrical shape.

[0021] Figure 11 shows another example of the bacteria detection device of the present invention, which differs from the above embodiment in that the portable autofocus microscope 10 further has a flexible probe connected to the microscope body 11, and an optical lens component 15 and an illumination light source are installed at the tip of the flexible probe, making it easier to detect bacteria in narrow spaces that are difficult to reach.

[0022] The structure of the specific embodiment described above may result in the following beneficial effects.

[0023] The bacteria detection device of this invention possesses rapid response, portability, and intelligent analysis capabilities. Through wireless connection between a portable autofocus microscope 10 and a display device 20, users can immediately detect bacteria on the object being inspected on-site. Furthermore, it performs automatic analysis and judgment using an artificial intelligence algorithm, reducing human error and significantly improving detection efficiency and accuracy. The bacteria detection device of this invention has a lightweight and portable overall structure, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional detection methods such as wasted time and complex operation, and possesses high practicality and market application potential.
