Abstract

An oral cavity detection device is used in conjunction with an image capturing device having an image capturing lens. The oral cavity detection device assists the image capturing device in capturing an image of an oral cavity. The oral cavity detection device includes a body, a cover, and a clamping module. The body includes a housing and at least one optical module. The cover is connected to the housing. The clamping module is slidably disposed in a groove in the cover and can drive the image capturing device to reciprocate along an axis, so that the image capturing lens is aligned with a window of the housing, so as to facilitate the image capturing device in capturing the image.

Claims

1. An oral cavity detection device for use in conjunction with an image capturing device having an image capturing lens, the oral cavity detection device comprising: a body including a housing and at least one optical module, the housing having a first viewing window and a chamber, wherein a light beam from the optical module is projected outward from the housing; a cover attached to the housing and covering the chamber; and a clamping module for clamping the image capturing device, the clamping module being slidably disposed on the cover and capable of reciprocating the image capturing device to align the image capturing lens with the first viewing window, the clamping module including a slide, a first clamping member, a second clamping member and a first elastic member, the first clamping member having a first clamping portion, the second clamping member having a second clamping portion and a sliding portion, the first clamping portion and the second elastic member having a first clamping portion and a sliding portion, the first clamping portion and the second elastic member having a first clamping portion and a first clamping portion, the first clamping portion and the second elastic member having a first clamping portion and a first clamping portion, the second ... The clamping part is used to clamp the image capturing device. The sliding part drives the second clamping part to slide relative to the first clamping part. A first engaging end of the first elastic member is engaged with a fixing member between the slide and the first clamping member. A second engaging end of the first elastic member is engaged with the second clamping member, causing the second clamping member to reset and move towards the first clamping member to clamp the image capturing device. The slide is engaged with the first clamping member, so that the sliding part is restricted between the slide and the first clamping member.

2. The oral examination device of claim 1, wherein the first clamping member has a receiving space and a first limiting member, a second limiting member and a guide groove located in the receiving space, the guide groove being located between the first limiting member and the second limiting member, the sliding part being slidably disposed in the guide groove, and one end of the sliding part having a stop flange located in the receiving space, the stop flange being used to abut against the first limiting member and / or the second limiting member.

3. The oral examination device as claimed in claim 1 or 2, wherein the cover has a groove, the clamping module is slidably disposed in the groove, the housing has at least one limiting post, the cover has at least one through hole located in the groove, the slide has a limiting groove, and one end of the limiting post protrudes through the through hole and is located in the limiting groove of the slide.

4. The oral examination device of claim 1, wherein the fixing member includes a first fixing portion protruding from the slide and / or a second fixing portion protruding from the first clamping member.

5. The oral examination device as claimed in claim 1 or 2, further comprising a swing limiting member and a second elastic member, one end of the swing limiting member having a pivot hole, the swing limiting member being pivotally connected to a pivot of the housing via the pivot hole, a third engaging end of the second elastic member being engaged with the housing, and a fourth engaging end of the second elastic member being engaged with the swing limiting member, causing the swing limiting member to swing back about the pivot as the swing center, the swing limiting member having at least one locking tooth, the slide having a plurality of locking slots, the swing limiting member swinging toward the slide by the second elastic member, and the locking tooth engaging one of the locking slots.

6. The oral examination device of claim 5, wherein the cover has a groove, the clamping module is slidably disposed in the groove, one side wall of the groove has a first elongated slot, the first elongated slot exposes the slots of the slide, and the locking teeth of the swing limiter are engaged with one of the slots via the first elongated slot.

7. The oral cavity testing device as claimed in claim 5, wherein the housing has a second elongated slot, the swing limiter has a head, the second elongated slot exposes the head, and the head is reciprocating within the second elongated slot.

8. The oral examination device of claim 1, further comprising a light shield integrated into the housing and surrounding the first viewing window, wherein the light from the light module is projected through a channel of the light shield.

9. The oral examination device of claim 1, wherein the light module is selected from the ultraviolet light module, and the body further includes a filter disposed in the first viewing window.

10. The oral examination device of claim 9, wherein the cover has a second window aligned with the first window, the filter is located between the first window and the second window, and the clamping module can move the image capturing device so that the image capturing lens is aligned with the second window.
