DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] First, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides an angle-adjustable intelligent wide-angle optical system, which includes a light source transmission optical fiber 11, a dichroic mirror 12, an illumination optical fiber 13, a collection optical fiber 14, and a handle photoelectric conversion module ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), and a probe device 20 disposed at the end of the endoscope handle.

[0029] The light source transmission optical fiber 11 is connected to the light source driving board that supplies the laser light source, and is used to transmit the laser beam to the surface of the dichroic mirror 12 for reflection; the head end of the illumination optical fiber 13 is arranged toward the dichroic mirror 12, and the reflected light beam reflected by the dichroic mirror 12 is coupled to the illumination optical fiber 13 for transmission, and the end of the illumination optical fiber 13 extends to the probe device 20. The dichroic mirror is a special optical element that selectively reflects or transmits light according to the wavelength (or frequency) of the light. Within a given angle and wavelength range, the dichroic mirror exhibits high reflection for light of a certain wavelength and high transmission for light of another wavelength.

[0030] The probe device 20 includes an opening 21 and a two-dimensional scanner 22 disposed toward the opening 21; the end of the illumination optical fiber 13 emits an illumination beam toward the two-dimensional scanner 22, and the two-dimensional scanner 22 swings under the drive of the control signal to reflect the illumination beam toward different angles, and the illumination beam irradiates the target living tissue through the opening 21. It can be understood that the housing of the probe device 20 can be designed as a whole with the end of the endoscope handle, that is, the probe device 20 is designed as the end of the endoscope handle.

[0031] The head end of the collection optical fiber 14 is set at the opening 21. The target living tissue generates fluorescence after being excited by the laser. The fluorescence is collected by the collection optical fiber 14 and then transmitted. It is emitted toward the end of the dichroic mirror 12 through the collection optical fiber 14, and passes through the dichroic mirror 12. It is received by the handle photoelectric conversion module, and the handle photoelectric conversion module is used to convert the received optical signal into an electrical signal. After the living tissue is excited by the laser, it will generate fluorescence. This fluorescence usually has a different wavelength from the excitation light, that is, a band excitation change occurs. It is this band change that allows the reflected light (fluorescence) to pass through the dichroic mirror that originally reflects the laser.

[0032] It can be understood that the present application discloses an angle-adjustable intelligent wide-angle optical system, including an endoscope handle and a probe device 20 disposed at the end of the endoscope handle. The probe device 20 is provided with a two-dimensional scanner 22 for changing the light-emitting direction of the illumination beam. By controlling the swing speed of the two-dimensional scanner 22 to reach a certain threshold, the illumination range of the illumination beam on the target living tissue can be visually expanded, so that the collection optical fiber 14 can collect greater feedback image information, thereby expanding the viewing angle of the endoscope.

[0033] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned angle-adjustable intelligent wide-angle optical system includes at least one of the following: The illumination optical fiber 13 and the collection optical fiber 14 are arranged parallel to the single crystal substrate 23; The end of the illumination optical fiber 13 is provided with an inclined surface coated with a reflective material, constituting a first reflective inclined surface; The head end of the collection optical fiber 14 is provided with an inclined surface coated with a reflective material, constituting a second reflective inclined surface; The first reflective slope is used to reflect the illumination light beam transmitted in the illumination optical fiber 13 toward the two-dimensional scanner 22; The second reflective slope is used to reflect the ambient light beam incident from the opening 21 toward the inside of the collection optical fiber 14 .

[0034] It can be understood that in order to facilitate the placement of the illumination optical fiber 13 and the collection optical fiber 14 and to reduce the overall volume of the angle-adjustable intelligent wide-angle optical system, the illumination optical fiber 13 and the collection optical fiber 14 can be arranged parallel to the single crystal substrate 23. The above-mentioned first reflection bevel and second reflection bevel are arranged to change the original light emitting or light entering direction of the optical fiber, so that the illumination optical fiber 13 and the collection optical fiber 14 can achieve the purpose of illumination and light collection.

[0035] In an optional embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned angle-adjustable intelligent wide-angle optical system includes at least one of the following: An arc-shaped groove is provided on the side wall of the end of the illumination optical fiber 13, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped groove is used to diffuse the reflected light reflected by the first reflecting inclined surface; An arc-shaped groove is also provided on the side wall of the head end of the collection optical fiber 14 , and the concave surface of the arc-shaped groove is used to converge the ambient light beam incident from the opening 21 .

[0036] like Figure 3As shown, taking the illumination optical fiber 13 as an example, the end of the illumination optical fiber 13 is provided with a first reflective slope coated with a reflective material, which is used to reflect the illumination light beam transmitted in the illumination optical fiber 13 toward the two-dimensional scanner 22, and a groove 130 is provided on the side wall. The groove 130 is in an arc shape and is used to diffuse the reflected light reflected by the first reflective slope, which is conducive to the illumination light beam reflected by the two-dimensional scanner to irradiate a larger range. The groove design of the collection optical fiber 14 is similar to the groove design of the illumination optical fiber 13, and will not be repeated here.

[0038] It can be understood that the first magnet 210 and the second magnet 220 emit permanent magnetic fields with the same orientation, which form a magnetic field across at least a portion of the single crystal substrate 23, and the magnetic field is configured to interact with the displacement magnetic field emitted by the electromagnetic coil 27 located on the single crystal substrate 23. The interaction between the magnetic field and the displacement magnetic field causes the reflection support plate 24 to swing around the rotation axis AA', and the reflection support plate 24 is attached to the single crystal substrate 23 by the first flexure 251 and the second flexure 252. In this way, the central fixed reflector 26 of the reflection support plate 24 can also swing around the rotation axis AA', as shown in FIG. Figures 5 to 7 When the swing speed reaches a certain threshold, the illumination range of the illumination beam on the target living tissue can be visually expanded through the principle of residual vision.

[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present application, if Figure 8 As shown, the probe device 20 is provided with a relative first opening 211 and a second opening 212, and the first opening 211 and the second opening 212 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the two-dimensional scanner 22; both the front and back sides of the reflection support plate 24 are provided with reflection mirrors, wherein the front reflection mirror is arranged toward the first opening 211, and the back reflection mirror is arranged toward the second opening 212.

[0040] It can be understood that two opposite openings 21 can also be set in the probe device 20 disclosed in the present application, and corresponding reflectors are set on both the front and back sides of the reflective support plate 24. When the two-dimensional scanner 22 is working, the front reflector and the back reflector swing around the rotation axis AA' to reflect the illumination light beam to the first opening 211 and the second opening 212 respectively, and the ambient light beam incident from the two openings 21 can be collected at the same time to form a collection image of the target living tissue.

The sensor adapter board is used to sample and process the electrical signal transmitted from the handle photoelectric conversion module and convert the parallel-to-serial signal format, and convert the serialized electrical signal into an optical signal again.

[0044] It can be understood that after the handle photoelectric conversion module receives the optical signal collected by the collection optical fiber 14, it converts the optical signal into an electrical signal; in order to prevent electromagnetic interference, the sensor adapter board will sample and process the transmitted electrical signal and convert the parallel-to-serial signal format, and convert the serialized electrical signal into an optical signal again, so as to facilitate transmission to the camera module 200 of the endoscope host through the transmission optical fiber 40 for further photoelectric conversion, and finally output the enlarged microscopic image on the display 202.
