Description

foot detection device

The invention relates to a health detection device, in particular to a foot detection device.

The foot is the part of the body that carries the weight of the human body, and has the farthest blood delivery distance from the heart. When humans suffer from blood circulation diseases, such as blood vessel blockage caused by diabetes, it will be reflected in the state of peripheral blood vessels such as the foot superior. Therefore, regular testing of the health status of the feet is helpful for tracking or early detection of diseases.

However, the method of detecting the foot is usually to raise the foot and observe it with the naked eye, but this is extremely difficult for people with degenerated lower limbs or vision loss, and it is also difficult to observe the slight wound between the fingers with the naked eye alone, or It is to understand the status of blood circulation, which makes self-detection more difficult.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foot detection device which can at least overcome at least one shortcoming of the prior art.

Therefore, the foot detection device of the present invention is suitable for signal connection-display The device includes a casing unit and a camera unit. The housing unit includes a storage box that can be flipped and unfolded to define a detection plane. The camera unit is arranged in the storage box and can be driven to pass through the detection plane. The camera unit can be used for signal connection with a display device.

The effect of the present invention is that: through the arrangement of the casing unit and the camera unit, the user can move the foot above the detection plane, and let the camera unit capture the image of the sole of the foot, or drive the camera unit to pass through The detection plane is used to capture images of the sides of the feet or between the fingers, and the design of the storage box can accommodate the camera unit, which has the advantages of being convenient for storage and portability.
