Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of photoluminescence spectrum (PL spectrum) testing, and in particular to a push-pull switching structure for a photoluminescence spectrum microscopic optical path module, which can be used for an integrated microscopic photoluminescence spectrum device. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of spectral measurement technology and the needs of scientific research, integrated microscopic optical modules have become an indispensable component of PL spectroscopy. The introduction of microscopic optical modules not only enables a smaller laser spot, higher excitation power density, and improved fluorescence signal collection efficiency, but more importantly, it also achieves higher spatial resolution, which is very beneficial for PL measurements of semiconductor micro- and nanostructures.

[0003] Integrated microscope optical modules typically employ two semi-transparent, semi-reflective mirrors, one for directing illumination light into the principal optical axis and the other for directing diffusely reflected light from the sample surface into the CCD for imaging. However, when measuring fluorescence signals from the sample surface, these two semi-transparent, semi-reflective mirrors must be moved apart to minimize signal loss. In actual experiments, this switching operation often requires frequent operation, necessitating the use of a push-pull switching mechanism.

[0004] The conventional push-pull switching structure uses a pull rod to connect the mirror frame of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror. The pull rod extends out of the microscope optical path module so that it can be pushed and pulled from the outside. The semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror is usually positioned using a slot design. This implementation method has two disadvantages: (1) the pull rod occupies a large horizontal space when pulled out, which is inconvenient in some compact optical path systems; (2) the use of slots for positioning usually generates vibration, which causes the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror to move slightly, which is not conducive to the long-term maintenance of optical path accuracy.

[0005] Therefore, how to achieve a compact design of the push-pull switching structure in the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy module and reduce the vibration during push-pull positioning is an urgent problem that needs to be solved in the current microscopic photoluminescence spectroscopy measurement technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a push-pull switching structure for a photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, to achieve a compact design of the push-pull switching structure and to reduce vibration during push-pull positioning.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a push-pull switching structure for a photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, comprising a fixed block, a movable block and a push-pull mechanism, wherein the movable block is a magnetic body, one end of which is connected to the mirror frame of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror in the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, and the other end is connected to the push-pull mechanism, and the mirror frame of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror is pushed and pulled under the drive of the push-pull mechanism; the fixed block is used to position the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror, which is a piston device, comprising a cavity and a piston body that can reciprocate in the cavity, and a strong magnet is provided on the outer wall surface of the cavity facing the movable block; the piston body is a non-magnetic body, and a weak magnet is provided on the side of the piston body facing the movable block; the cavity is provided with a window on the front end surface facing the movable block, and the weak magnet can extend out of the window, and an air hole is provided on the rear end surface of the cavity.

[0008] When the push-pull mechanism pulls the movable block outward to make it contact with the fixed block, the movable block first contacts the weak magnet and continues to move under the strong attraction of the strong magnet. At the same time, the cushioning effect of the air holes on the rear end of the cavity allows the movable block to slowly adsorb to the strong magnet without causing large vibrations. When the push-pull mechanism pushes the movable block inward, the movable block first separates from the strong magnet. During the separation process, the cushioning effect of the air holes on the rear end of the cavity ensures that the movable block slowly separates without causing large vibrations, and then separates from the weak magnet.

[0009] In the above-mentioned push-pull switching structure for the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, the piston body is a cylinder, the corresponding cavity is cylindrical, and the air hole is opened on the opposite side of the window; the piston body can also be a section of a ring, such as a quarter of a ring, and the air hole is opened on the adjacent side of the window.

[0010] In the above-mentioned push-pull switching structure for the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, the piston body needs to be non-magnetic, and can be made of materials such as aluminum; the movable block is magnetic, and can be a magnetic body containing iron, nickel, etc.

[0011] In the above-mentioned push-pull switching structure for the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy optical path module, the push-pull mechanism can adopt a hole-type push-pull movable knot or pull rod or flipper, preferably a hole-type push-pull movable knot or flipper, which can reduce the external space occupied by the push-pull switching structure.

[0012] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The push-pull switching structure for the photoluminescence spectroscopy module provided by the present invention can greatly reduce the vibration during the push-pull process, thereby facilitating the long-term maintenance of the optical path accuracy.

[0014] 2. The push-pull switching structure for the photoluminescence spectroscopy microscopy module provided by the present invention can reduce the external space occupied by the push-pull switching structure, making the entire photoluminescence spectroscopy system more compact and convenient.
