[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a multimode optical fiber slip ring assembly is used to pass one channel of ultrasonic excitation light and one channel of ultrasonic demodulation light in an all-optical ultrasonic imaging system, and comprises:

[0038] A base 205, wherein the base 205 is provided with a through hole;

[0039] The rotor 207 is disposed in the through hole. The rotor 207 is provided with a countersink. The stator 209, the gear system, and the prism component 116 are installed in the countersink. The rotor 207 drives the prism component 116 to rotate through the gear system. The gear system enables the rotation speed of the prism component 116 and the rotor 207 to maintain a certain ratio value relative to the stator 209. The prism component 116 is a prism combination that can achieve a predetermined ratio of the object-image rotation ratio.

[0040] The rotor 207 and the stator 209 are both provided with two optical fiber collimators 119. The optical axes of the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the rotor 207 and the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the stator 209 are parallel to the rotation axis of the rotor 207 and are equidistant from the rotation axis. When the rotor 207 rotates to a specific angle, the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the rotor 207 and the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the stator 209 are coaxial. Along the rotation axis direction of the rotor 207, the prism component 116 is provided between the rotor 207 and the stator 209. The light beams incident on the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the stator 209 pass through the prism component 116 and reach the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the rotor 207.

[0041] A filter 114 is provided on one of the optical path entrances of the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the rotor 207, and a filter 114 is provided on one of the optical path exits of the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the stator 209. The filter 114 is used to pass the ultrasonic demodulation light and cut off the ultrasonic excitation light. The wavelength of the ultrasonic excitation light does not fall within the wavelength range of the ultrasonic demodulation light, so the above filtering function can be achieved by selecting a suitable filter.

[0042] Specifically, in some embodiments, the rotor 207 is installed in the through hole of the base 205 through two large bearings 206, and the inner and outer rings of the large bearings 206 are fixed to the shaft and hole with which they are matched and assembled by glue. The stator 209 is installed in the through hole of the rotor 207 through two small bearings 208, and the inner and outer rings of the small bearings 208 are fixed to the shaft and hole with which they are matched and assembled by glue. Two optical fiber collimators 119 are installed in the two through holes of the rotor 207 and the stator 209, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, when the rotor 207 rotates to a specific angle, the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the rotor 207 are coaxial with the two optical fiber collimators 119 of the stator 209. The four collimators are respectively glued with the excitation light fiber 111, the demodulation fiber 108, the demodulation output fiber 229, and the excitation light output fiber 228 to transmit the light beam, wherein two optical filters 114 fixed by glue are arranged on the optical paths of the two optical fiber collimators 119 corresponding to the demodulation fiber 108 and the demodulation output fiber 229.

[0043] The excitation light and the demodulation light are transmitted in a composite manner through a dual-channel optical signal, so that the demodulation light and the excitation light functions can be implemented in the same machine, which is convenient for doctors to use. At the same time, one machine can be saved, and patients can be spared the pain of two different examinations, which can generate great social and economic value. Through the differential rotation of the prism component 116 and the rotor 207 relative to the stator 209, the dual-channel optical signals can rotate and transmit light without interfering with each other. Through the non-contact collimation coupling of four optical fiber collimators concentrically arranged at the rotation center, the optical path can rotate 360° without restriction and the transmission signal is more stable.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the prism component 116 is a dove prism. The dove prism is used to achieve an object-image rotation ratio of 1:2. Accordingly, by selecting a gear system, the rotation speed of the rotor is twice the rotation speed of the dove prism. In some other embodiments, prism components with object-image rotation ratios of other ratios may also be used.

[0046] Specifically, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the planetary gear 216 is installed in the blind hole of the stator 209 by means of the planetary gear bearing 217 fixed by glue, and the outer teeth of the planetary gear 216 mesh with the inner teeth of the rotor 207. When the stator 209 revolves relative to the rotor 207, the planetary gear 216 rotates. The prism component 116 is installed in the through hole of the prism gear 219 and fixed by glue. The prism gear 219 is sleeved on the boss of the stator 209 through the dove prism gear bearing 220, and the inner and outer rings of the bearing are fixed to the shaft and the hole matched with the inner and outer rings of the bearing by glue, and the outer teeth of the prism gear 219 mesh with the outer teeth of the planetary gear 216. The transmission ratio is controlled by adjusting the tooth number ratio of the external teeth of the prism gear 219 and the internal teeth of the rotor 207, so that the rotation speeds of the prism component 116 and the rotor 207 relative to the stator 209 have a certain ratio, thereby ensuring that when the two incident light rays passing through the stator 209 rotate at a certain angular velocity relative to the two outgoing light rays passing through the rotor 207, the two light rays can also be propagated one-to-one and will not cross.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, one end of the stator 209 away from the rotor 207 is fixedly connected to the base 205, and the base 205 is provided with an extended end, and the stator 209 is fixedly connected to the extended end. This structural setting is used to prevent the stator 209 from rotating. The anti-rotation pin 226 passes through the extended end of the base 205 and the pin hole of the stator 209 at the same time and is fixed by glue to prevent the stator 209 from rotating.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the base 205 is also provided with a motor 211 and a transmission mechanism, and the motor 211 drives the rotor 207 to rotate through the transmission mechanism. The drive and transmission mechanism are integrated on the base 205, which makes the structure compact while meeting the system requirements.

[0050] A tensioning wheel is also provided on the base 205 for adjusting the tension of the synchronous belt 215 to achieve a smooth transmission from the motor 211 to the rotor 207. By providing the large pulley 210, the external motor 204 can directly drive the rotor 207 housing to rotate at high speed through the large belt.

[0051] Specifically, the motor 211 is installed in the countersunk hole of the base 205 by screws, and the small pulley 212 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the motor 211 and fixed by glue or interference fit. The tensioning wheel seat 213 is installed on the base 205 by screws passing through its waist hole, and can be adjusted by sliding back and forth along the direction of the line connecting the two centers of the waist hole. The inner ring of the tensioning wheel bearing 214 is fixed on the shaft of the tensioning wheel seat 213 by glue or interference fit. The synchronous belt 215 is wound around the tooth surfaces of the small pulley 212 and the large pulley 210, and by adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel seat 213, the synchronous belt 215 is tightened with the outer ring of the tensioning wheel bearing 214 to achieve smooth transmission from the motor 211 to the rotor 207 and high-speed rotation of the rotor 207.

[0055] Specifically, if Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the guide rod 202 is positioned through the mounting hole of the guide rail seat 201 and fixed with glue, and the two guide rods 202 pass through the two through holes of the base 205 respectively, so that the base 205 can slide along the guide rod 202.
