Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ophthalmic detection instruments, and particularly to a fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer. Background Art

[0002] The biological structure measurement of the eyeball is to measure the structural parameters of the eyeball by applying various relevant examination methods, such as axial length of the eye, corneal thickness, corneal curvature, corneal diameter, anterior chamber depth, pupil diameter, lens thickness, vitreous cavity length, intraocular pressure, refractive state, etc., providing a basis for the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases. The axial length of the eye refers to the distance from the anterior corneal surface to the retinal pigment epithelium or the inner limiting membrane of the retina. Clinically, various diseases such as cataract, ametropia, strabismus, amblyopia, glaucoma, silicone oil-filled eye, and macular edema are accompanied by varying degrees of changes in the axial length of the eye. As an important parameter affecting the refractive degree of the eye, obtaining an accurate axial length of the eye can provide technical support for the monitoring and diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, especially in the fields of corneal refractive surgery and calculation of intraocular lens power for cataract. The ophthalmic optical biometer is applicable to measuring the axial length of the patient's eye, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth in the ophthalmology department of a hospital, as well as measuring the corneal diameter of the human eye and calculating the power of the intraocular lens to be implanted as required.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0043] Figure 1 is the front view of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is the side view of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of the present invention provides a fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer may include:

[0044] Optical path system, the optical path system includes a pupil imaging optical path, a refractive power detection optical path, and an axial length detection optical path. The pupil imaging optical path is used to track and position the patient's eyeball. The refractive power detection optical path is used to detect the refractive power of the patient's eyeball. The axial length detection optical path is used to detect the axial length of the patient's eyeball;

[0045] Y-direction motion mechanism, the optical path system is installed on the top of the Y-direction motion mechanism, and the Y-direction motion mechanism is used to drive the optical path system to move along the Y-axis direction;

[0046] Z-direction motion mechanism, the Y-direction motion mechanism is arranged above the Z-direction motion mechanism, and the Z-direction motion mechanism is used to drive the optical path system to move along the Z-axis direction;

[0047] X-direction motion mechanism, the Z-direction motion mechanism is arranged above the X-direction motion mechanism, and the X-direction motion mechanism is used to drive the optical path system to move along the X-axis direction;

[0048] Control module, the control module controls the Y-direction motion mechanism, the Z-direction motion mechanism, and the X-direction motion mechanism to drive the optical path system to move to align with the pupil center according to the pupil image detected by the pupil imaging optical path.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, the optical path system of the full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer can track and position the patient's eyeball through the pupil imaging optical path, detect the refractive power of the patient's eyeball through the refractive power detection optical path, and detect the axial length of the patient's eyeball through the axial length detection optical path. The pupil imaging optical path is used to determine the center of the eyeball. The control module controls the Y-direction motion mechanism, the Z-direction motion mechanism, and the X-direction motion mechanism to drive the optical path system to move to align with the pupil center according to the detection result of the pupil imaging optical path, so as to realize automatic positioning of the eyeball during the detection process and improve the accuracy of the detection structure.

[0050] Figure 3 It is a schematic structural diagram of the pupil imaging optical path of the full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the pupil imaging optical path of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer includes an LED lamp 1, a first slit diaphragm 2, a first lens 3, a window glass 4, a first imaging lens 5, a first plane mirror 6, a second imaging lens 7, a third imaging lens 8, a first aperture diaphragm 9, a band-stop filter 10, and a first CMOS camera 11 along the light irradiation direction. The light generated by the LED lamp 1 is irradiated onto the eyeball through the first slit diaphragm 2 and the first lens 3. The light reflected by the eyeball is irradiated onto the first plane mirror 6 through the window glass 4 and the first imaging lens 5 and undergoes reflection. The light reflected by the first plane mirror 6 passes through the second imaging lens 7, the third imaging lens 8, the first aperture diaphragm 9, and penetrates the band-stop filter 10 to reach the first CMOS camera 11. The photosensitive chip of the first CMOS camera 11 displays the pupil image on the screen of the first CMOS camera 11.

[0051] Through the above technical solution, the LED lamp 1, the first slit diaphragm 2, and the first lens 3 of the pupil imaging optical path of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention are two sets of symmetrically arranged. The light (wavelength 940nm) generated by the LED lamp 1 is irradiated onto the eyeball through the first slit diaphragm 2 and the first lens 3. The two first light source modules are symmetrically arranged, which can enhance the reflected light of the eyeball and improve the pupil imaging effect. The light reflected by the eyeball is reflected by the first plane mirror 6 to the first CMOS camera 11. The photosensitive chip of the first CMOS camera 11 displays the pupil image on the screen of the first CMOS camera 11, thereby completing the acquisition and display of the pupil image.

[0052] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first CMOS camera 11 of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer can display the pupil center of the pupil image and the reference center of the optical path system. The control module calculates the deviation distance between the reference center and the pupil center and decomposes it into the X-axis deviation, the Y-axis deviation, and the Z-axis deviation, and controls the Y-direction movement mechanism, the Z-direction movement mechanism, and the X-direction movement mechanism to drive the optical path system to move according to the deviation distance so that the reference center and the pupil center coincide, thereby realizing automatic eyeball positioning during the detection process. The positioning efficiency is high and the accuracy is good, avoiding the detection personnel from repeatedly searching and positioning the human eye, and improving the efficiency of the detection work.

[0053] Moreover, a corneal standard ring is also set on the screen of the first CMOS camera 11. The corneal curvature of the patient's eyeball can be calculated based on the relationship between the corneal diameter of the pupil image collected through the pupil imaging optical path mapped on the screen and the standard ring on the screen.

[0054] Such as Figure 3As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the diopter detection optical path of the full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer includes a first SLD light source 12, a light homogenizing sheet 13, a second aperture diaphragm 14, a second plane mirror 15, a first polarization beam splitter prism 16, a third plane mirror 17, a fourth plane mirror 18, a first Hartmann imaging lens 19, a second Hartmann imaging lens 20, and a second CMOS camera 21 along the light irradiation direction. The first SLD light source 12 emits laser light that passes through the light homogenizing sheet 13 and the second aperture diaphragm 14, is reflected by the second plane mirror 15 to the first polarization beam splitter prism 16. The light passing through the first polarization beam splitter prism 16 passes through the third plane mirror 17 and is then reflected by the fourth plane mirror 18 to reach the eyeball. The light reflected by the eyeball passes through the fourth plane mirror 18, then passes through the third plane mirror 17, and is then reflected by the first polarization beam splitter prism 16 and passes through the first Hartmann imaging lens 19 and the second Hartmann imaging lens 20 to reach the second CMOS camera 21. The control module calculates the diopter of the eyeball based on the data of the eye lens received by the second CMOS camera 21.

[0055] The full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention emits laser light (wavelength 850 nm) through the first SLD light source 12, passes through the light homogenizing sheet 13 and the second aperture diaphragm 14 (the laser itself is speckled, and the speckles can be eliminated by passing through the light homogenizing sheet 13, and the second aperture diaphragm 14 changes the diameter of the laser), is reflected by the second plane mirror 15 to the first polarization beam splitter prism 16. The first polarization beam splitter prism 16 can eliminate one of the P light or S light. The light passing through the first polarization beam splitter prism 16 passes through the third plane mirror 17 and is then reflected by the fourth plane mirror 18 to reach the eyeball. The light returned from the fundus reaches the second CMOS camera 21 through the Hartmann imaging optical path. By calculating the data of the eye lens received by the second CMOS camera 21 and the standard data, the diopter of the eyeball can be obtained.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fourth plane mirror 18 is designed to be fully transmissive to light with a wavelength of 940 nm and fully reflective to light with a wavelength of 850 nm, so as to realize the synchronous detection of the pupil imaging optical path and the diopter detection optical path.

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the eye axis length detection optical path of the full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer includes, along the light irradiation direction, a second SLD light source 22, a second polarization beam splitter prism 23, a first corner cube prism 24, a second corner cube prism 25, a third aperture stop 26, a third polarization beam splitter prism 27, a quarter-wave plate 28, a fifth plane mirror 29, an optical fiber lens 30, an optical fiber 31, and a first photoelectric sensor 32. The second SLD light source 22 emits a laser beam which is split into two beams by the second polarization beam splitter prism 23. One of the beams is incident on the first corner cube prism 24, and the other beam is incident on the second corner cube prism 25. After reflection, the two beams return coaxially and are combined. The combined light beam passes through the third aperture stop 26 and is incident on the first polarization beam splitter prism 16. The light beam reflected by the first polarization beam splitter prism 16 passes through the quarter-wave plate 28, the fourth plane mirror 18, and the window glass 4 and then is incident on the eyeball. The light beam reflected by the eyeball is reflected by the fifth plane mirror 29 to the optical fiber lens 30, is focused by the optical fiber lens 30, and then is transmitted to the optical fiber 31 and reaches the first photoelectric sensor 32. The control module calculates the eye axis length of the eyeball according to the photoelectric signal detected by the first photoelectric sensor 32. The first corner cube prism 24 can move in the irradiation direction of the second SLD light source 22.

[0058] Through the above technical solution, the full-automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention emits a laser (wavelength 790nm) from the second SLD light source 22, which is split by the second polarization beam splitter prism 23, reflected by the first corner cube prism 24 and the second corner cube prism 25 respectively, and then combined. The combined light beam enters the human eye along the visual axis direction, reaches the cornea and the retinal pigment epithelium layer and then is reflected. When the first corner cube prism 24 moves, the two laser beams interfere at the fundus reflection, and then interfere again at the sclera. The first photoelectric sensor 32 receives the two interference signals and converts them into digital signals. The control module calculates the distance between the two interference peaks, which is the eye axis length of the patient's eyeball.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present invention, the fourth plane mirror 18 is further designed to be completely transparent to light with a wavelength of 790nm, and the fifth plane mirror 29 is designed to be completely transparent to light with a wavelength of 940nm and completely reflect light with a wavelength of 790nm, so as to realize the synchronous detection of the pupil imaging optical path, the diopter detection optical path, and the eye axis length detection optical path.

[0060] Specifically, the first corner cube prism 24 can be driven by a DC motor to move. A magnetic grating scale can be arranged on one side of the first corner cube prism 24. When the first corner cube prism 24 moves 5um on the magnetic grating scale, a value is read, so as to ensure that the amount of collected data is sufficient to support the calculation.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the anterior depth detection optical path of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer includes an LED lamp group 33, a second slit diaphragm 34, and a second lens 35. The LED lamp group 33 generates light that passes through the second slit diaphragm 34 and the second lens 35 and irradiates the eyeball. The light reflected by the eyeball reaches the first photoelectric sensor 32, and the control module calculates the anterior chamber depth of the eyeball based on the photoelectric signal detected by the first photoelectric sensor 32. The LED lamp group 33, the second slit diaphragm 34, and the second lens 35 of the anterior depth detection optical path are two sets arranged symmetrically. By generating light through the LED lamp group 33, a 1*10mm light spot is generated through the second slit diaphragm 34, and the light becomes parallel light through the second lens 35 and irradiates the eyeball. The anterior chamber depth can be calculated through the geometric relationship with the returning light of the anterior chamber.

[0062] As Figure 3 shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the lens relaxation optical path of the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer includes a light-emitting diode 36, a landscape film 37, a first object-image lens 38, and a second object-image lens 39. The light-emitting diode 36 generates light that passes through the landscape film 37, the first object-image lens 38, and the second object-image lens 39, and is continuously reflected to the eyeball through the third plane mirror 17 and the fourth plane mirror 18. The light reflected by the eyeball returns along the original path to reach the landscape film 37. The light-emitting diode 36, the landscape film 37, and the first object-image lens 38 can move along the irradiation direction of the light-emitting diode 36.

[0063] Through the above technical solution, the fully automatic ophthalmic optical biometer provided by the embodiment of the present invention emits light (wavelength 550nm) through the light-emitting diode 36, passes through the landscape film 37, and is continuously reflected to the eyeball through the third plane mirror 17 and the fourth plane mirror 18. The light reflected by the eyeball returns along the original path to reach the landscape film 37. Among them, the eye lens, the first object-image lens 38, and the second object-image lens 39 form a lens group, and the lower focus of its standard distance falls on the landscape film 37. Because the combined focal lengths of patients with different refractive errors are different, the light-emitting diode 36, the landscape film 37, and the first object-image lens 38 need to move along the irradiation direction of the light-emitting diode 36 to adapt to different patient populations with refractive errors.

The measurement of eye parameters such as the diopter, axial length, anterior chamber depth, and corneal curvature of the patient's eyeball can be completed simultaneously in one scan, greatly improving the detection efficiency of ophthalmic examinations and achieving high-precision measurement of eye biological parameters for the entire eye. The first CMOS camera 11 can display the pupil center of the pupil image and the reference center of the optical path system. The control module calculates the deviation distance between the reference center and the pupil center and decomposes it into the X-axis deviation, Y-axis deviation, and Z-axis deviation, and controls the Y-direction movement mechanism, Z-direction movement mechanism, and X-direction movement mechanism to drive the optical path system to move so that the reference center and the pupil center coincide, thereby realizing automatic eyeball positioning during the detection process. The control module controls the first stepping motor 40 to start and drive the first belt drive structure 41 to rotate, thereby driving the first lead screw 42 to rotate. Through the transmission of the first lead screw nut 45 meshing with the first lead screw 42, the first moving support 44 moves smoothly along the first guiding optical axis 46 in the Y-axis direction, thereby realizing the movement adjustment of the optical path system in the Y-axis direction until the Y-axis deviation is 0. By controlling the lead screw motor 49 to start through the control module, the second guiding optical axis 53 moves in the Y-axis direction through the transmission of the second lead screw nut 52 meshing with the second lead screw 50, thereby realizing the movement adjustment of the optical path system in the Z-axis direction until the Z-axis deviation is 0.
