Specific embodiments
[0018] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the drawings. It should be noted that these embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and any equivalent transformation or substitution in terms of function, method, or structure made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 A specific embodiment of a dual - optical - path continuous zoom device for a surgical microscope disclosed herein.
[0020] The dual - optical - path continuous zoom device 100 for a surgical microscope disclosed in the present application adopts dual imaging optical paths, namely imaging optical path P1 and imaging optical path P2. The first lens group 11, zoom lens group 12, compensating lens group 13 and second lens group 14 are all arranged in the imaging optical path P1 and the imaging optical path P2. The first lens group 11, zoom lens group 12, compensating lens group 13 and second lens group 14 in the imaging optical path P1 are arranged along the optical axis Z1, and the first lens group 11, zoom lens group 12, compensating lens group 13 and second lens group 14 in the imaging optical path P2 are arranged along the optical axis Z2.
[0021] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the term "axial direction" refers to the direction parallel to the optical axis Z1 / Z2. The term "radial direction" refers to any direction in the plane perpendicular to the optical axis Z1 / Z2. In the perspective shown in Figures 1 to 4 , as shown in Figure 4 , the direction where the measured object W is located is the object side, and the direction opposite to the measured object W is the image side.
[0022] Referring to Figures 1 to 7 shown, in this embodiment, the dual - optical - path continuous zoom device 100 for a surgical microscope includes: an optical path assembly 10, a support assembly 20, a guiding assembly 30, and a centering adjustment assembly 40.
[0023] The optical path assembly 10 includes: a first lens group 11, a zoom lens group 12, a compensating lens group 13, and a second lens group 14, which are arranged coaxially in sequence from the object side; the support assembly 20 is used to keep the axial distance between the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 constant and the optical axes of the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 coincident; the guiding assembly 30 is used to adjust the axial distance between the zoom lens group 12 and the compensating lens group 13.
[0024] The relative positions of the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 are fixed by the support assembly 20 to keep the axial distance between the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 constant and ensure that the optical axes of the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 coincide.
[0025] The guiding assembly 30 is arranged on the support assembly 20 and is used to simultaneously guide the compensating lens group 13 to move along the optical axis relative to the second lens group 14 and the zoom lens group 12 to move along the optical axis relative to the first lens group 11. The axial movement of the zoom lens group 12 and the compensating lens group 13 is controlled simultaneously by the guiding assembly 30 to adjust the axial distance between the zoom lens group 12 and the compensating lens group 13. Stepless continuous zoom is achieved through the zoom lens group 12 to adjust the magnification to meet different observation requirements, and the compensating lens group 13 corrects aberration to ensure a clear image plane. The first lens group 11 receives light from the object side. After passing through the zoom lens group 12 and the compensating lens group 13, the light enters the second lens group 14, and parallel light is output through the second lens group 14. The surgical microscope dual optical path continuous zoom device 100 is coupled with an imaging module (not shown) to form a final clear image.
[0026] Both the zoom lens group 12 and the compensating lens group 13 are provided with centering adjustment assemblies 40. The centering adjustment assembly 40 includes an adjusting member 41 and an elastic positioning member 42; the adjusting member 41 includes a first adjusting member 411 and a second adjusting member 412, and the elastic positioning member 42 includes a first elastic positioning member 421 and a second elastic positioning member 422.
[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 shown, a zoom lens 124 is arranged in the zoom lens barrel 121. The first adjusting member 411 arranged on the zoom lens group 12 is used to drive the zoom lens barrel 121 included in the zoom lens group 12 to move radially. The first elastic positioning member 421 arranged on the zoom lens group 12 abuts against the opposite side of the zoom lens barrel 121 relative to the first adjusting member 411 and forms a radial elastic force on the zoom lens barrel 121 to adjust the coincidence of the optical axis of the zoom lens 124 included in the zoom lens barrel 121 and the optical axis of the second lens 142 included in the second lens group 14.
[0028] The varifocal lens barrel 121 is driven by the first adjusting member 411 to move radially, so as to correct the optical axis offset of the varifocal lens 124. After the optical axis of the varifocal lens 124 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142, the first adjusting member 411 is locked. During the optical axis alignment adjustment process, the first elastic positioning member 421 is deformed by the extrusion of the varifocal lens barrel 121 to store elastic potential energy, and an elastic acting force (hereinafter referred to as "elastic force") is applied to the varifocal lens barrel 121. After the adjustment is completed, the first elastic positioning member 421 releases the elastic potential energy, applies an elastic force to the varifocal lens barrel 121 radially, and balances with the radial locking force of the first adjusting member 411, so that the varifocal lens barrel 121 is stabilized at the adjusted position (that is, the position where the optical axis of the varifocal lens 124 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142), so as to maintain the coincidence of the optical axis of the varifocal lens 124 and the optical axis of the second lens 142.
[0029] Refer Figure 2 to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a compensation lens 134 is arranged in the compensation lens barrel 131. The second adjusting member 412 arranged in the compensation lens group 13 is used to drive the compensation lens barrel 131 included in the compensation lens group 13 to displace radially. The second elastic positioning member 422 arranged in the compensation lens group 13 abuts against the opposite side of the compensation lens barrel 131 relative to the second adjusting member 412 to form a radial elastic acting force on the compensation lens barrel 131, so as to adjust the coincidence of the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 included in the compensation lens barrel 131 and the optical axis of the second lens 142 included in the second lens group 14.
[0030] The compensation lens barrel 131 is driven by the second adjusting member 412 to move radially, so as to correct the optical axis offset of the compensation lens 134. After the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142, the second adjusting member 412 is locked. During the optical axis alignment adjustment process, the second elastic positioning member 422 is deformed by the extrusion of the compensation lens barrel 131 to store elastic potential energy, and an elastic force is applied to the compensation lens barrel 131. After the adjustment is completed, the second elastic positioning member 422 releases the elastic potential energy, applies an elastic force to the compensation lens barrel 131 radially, and balances with the radial locking force of the second adjusting member 412, so that the compensation lens barrel 131 is stabilized at the adjusted position (that is, the position where the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142), so as to maintain the coincidence of the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 and the optical axis of the second lens 142.
[0031] The dual-light-path continuously variable magnification device 100 of the surgical microscope disclosed in this application forms an active driving force on the variable magnification lens barrel 121 through the first adjusting member 411, and the first elastic positioning member 421 forms a reverse elastic force opposite to the first adjusting member 411 on the variable magnification lens barrel 121, so that the first adjusting member 411 and the first elastic positioning member 421 form a two-way force balance on the variable magnification lens barrel 121, so as to cooperate with the first adjusting member 411 and the first elastic positioning member 421 to maintain the position stability of the variable magnification lens barrel 121 after adjustment, prevent the optical axis from shifting, and ensure the accuracy and long-term stability of the optical axis of the variable magnification lens 124 coinciding with the optical axis of the second lens group 14; form an active driving force on the compensation lens barrel 131 through the second adjusting member 412, and the second elastic positioning member 422 forms a reverse elastic force opposite to the second adjusting member 412 on the compensation lens barrel 131, so that the second adjusting member 412 and the second elastic positioning member 422 form a two-way force balance on the compensation lens barrel 131, so as to cooperate with the second adjusting member 412 and the second elastic positioning member 422 to maintain the position stability of the compensation lens barrel 131 after adjustment, prevent the optical axis from shifting, and ensure the accuracy and long-term stability of the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 coinciding with the optical axis of the second lens group 14; so as to realize the coaxiality of the first lens group 11, the variable magnification lens group 12, the compensation lens group 13 and the second lens group 14, ensure the stable imaging quality during the variable magnification process, and can complete the optical axis calibration without disassembling the optical elements, shorten the installation and adjustment time, and improve the installation and adjustment efficiency of the variable magnification lens 124 and the compensation lens 134.
[0032] Exemplarily, the first lens group 11 is configured as a positive focal length lens group, the variable magnification lens group 12 is configured as a negative focal length lens group, the compensation lens group 13 is configured as a negative focal length lens group, the second lens group 14 is configured as a positive focal length lens group, the first lens group 11 and the second lens group 14 maintain a fixed distance, and when the variable magnification lens group 12 and the compensation lens group 13 move axially, stepless continuous variable magnification is achieved through the variable magnification lens group 12 to adjust the magnification to meet different observation needs, and the compensation lens group 13 corrects aberrations to ensure a clear image plane.
[0033] In some examples, referring Figure 2 、 Figure 3 to Figure 7 as shown, the variable magnification lens group 12 includes: a variable magnification lens seat 122, and the variable magnification lens seat 122 is provided with a first positioning groove 123 for centering and adjusting the variable magnification lens barrel 121; the first adjusting member 411 penetrates the variable magnification lens seat 122 in the radial direction and partially extends into the first positioning groove 123, and one end of the first adjusting member 411 extending into the first positioning groove 123 abuts against the variable magnification lens barrel 121. The inner bottom surface 1232 of the first positioning groove 123 axially supports the variable magnification lens barrel 121 and contacts the variable magnification lens barrel 121 to form a radial contact surface, so that the variable magnification lens barrel 121 can be displaced radially on the inner bottom surface 1232 of the first positioning groove 123.
[0034] The first adjusting member 411 (such as a differential screw) penetrates the varifocal lens holder 122 in the radial direction, and its end abuts against the varifocal lens barrel 121. By rotating the first adjusting member 411, the varifocal lens barrel 121 is driven to displace radially on the inner bottom surface 1232 of the first positioning groove 123 by a micron level, so as to adjust the radial position of the varifocal lens 124. After the optical axis of the varifocal lens 124 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142, the first adjusting member 411 is locked to maintain the radial locking force on the varifocal lens barrel 121, and cooperate with the first elastic positioning member 421 to form a reverse elastic force opposite to the first adjusting member 411 on the varifocal lens barrel 121, so that the varifocal lens barrel 121 is stabilized at the adjusted position.
[0035] In some examples, referring Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the compensation lens group 13 includes: a compensation lens holder 132, and a second positioning groove 133 for centering and adjusting the compensation lens barrel 131 is formed in the compensation lens holder 132; the second adjusting member 412 penetrates the compensation lens holder 132 in the radial direction and partially extends into the second positioning groove 133, and one end of the second adjusting member 412 extending into the second positioning groove 133 abuts against the compensation lens barrel 131. The inner bottom surface 1332 of the second positioning groove 133 axially supports the compensation lens barrel 131 and contacts the compensation lens barrel 131 to form a radial contact surface, so that the compensation lens barrel 131 can displace radially on the inner bottom surface 1332 of the second positioning groove 133.
[0036] The second adjusting member 412 (such as a differential screw) penetrates the compensation lens holder 132 in the radial direction, and its end abuts against the compensation lens barrel 131. By rotating the second adjusting member 412, the compensation lens barrel 131 is driven to displace radially on the inner bottom surface 1332 of the second positioning groove 133 by a micron level, so as to adjust the radial position of the compensation lens 134. After the optical axis of the compensation lens 134 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens group 14, the second adjusting member 412 is locked to maintain the radial locking force on the compensation lens barrel 131, and cooperate with the second elastic positioning member 422 to form a reverse elastic force opposite to the second adjusting member 412 on the compensation lens barrel 131, so that the compensation lens barrel 131 is stabilized at the adjusted position.
[0037] Preferably, in the present embodiment, two first adjusting members 411 are respectively provided outside the zoom lens group 12 included in the imaging optical path P1 and the imaging optical path P2. The two first adjusting members 411 are equidistantly arranged relative to the first elastic positioning member 421. By synchronously and individually fine-tuning the two first adjusting members 411, the radial displacement of the zoom lens barrel 121 can be accurately controlled, ensuring that the optical axis of the zoom lens 124 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142, and avoiding the tilt of the zoom lens barrel 121 caused by unilateral force application, thereby improving the adjustment stability and accuracy. Two second adjusting members 412 are respectively provided outside the compensation lens group 13 included in the imaging optical path P1 and the imaging optical path P2. The two second adjusting members 412 are equidistantly arranged relative to the second elastic positioning member 422. By synchronously and individually fine-tuning the two second adjusting members 412, the radial displacement of the compensation lens barrel 131 can be accurately controlled, ensuring that the optical axis of the compensation lens barrel 131 coincides with the optical axis of the second lens 142, and avoiding the tilt of the compensation lens barrel 131 caused by unilateral force application, thereby improving the adjustment stability and accuracy.
[0038] Preferably, in the present embodiment, one end of the first adjusting member 411 abutting against the zoom lens barrel 121 and one end of the second adjusting member 412 abutting against the compensation lens barrel 131 are both configured to be spherical. The spherical ends (not labeled) of the first adjusting member 411 and the second adjusting member 412 respectively form point contacts (or contacts with a very small area) with the zoom lens barrel 121 and the compensation lens barrel 131. Thereby, sliding friction can be reduced, making the optical axis alignment adjustment process smoother and avoiding jamming, so as to improve the accuracy of micron-level displacement.
[0039] In some examples, referring Figure 2 、 Figure 3 to Figure 7 and Figure 9 as shown, a first limiting groove 1231 is formed by opening the groove wall of the first positioning groove 123, and a third limiting groove 1211 corresponding to the first limiting groove 1231 in the radial direction is recessed along the circumferential direction on the outer wall of the zoom lens barrel 121; the first elastic positioning member 421 is embedded in the first limiting groove 1231, and the first elastic positioning member 421 is constructed with a first arc-shaped inner wall 4211 that forms a point-line contact with the third limiting groove 1211 to form a radial elastic clamping on the zoom lens barrel 121, and one end of the first adjusting member 411 extending into the first positioning groove 123 abuts against the third limiting groove 1211.
[0040] The first limiting groove 1231 is used to embed the first elastic positioning member 421 (such as a spring wire) to fix the installation position of the first elastic positioning member 421 and prevent the first elastic positioning member 421 from detaching from the variable magnification lens base 122. A part of the inner wall of the first elastic positioning member 421 is processed into an arc-shaped curved surface to form a first arc-shaped inner wall 4211. Point-line contact is formed between the first arc-shaped inner wall 4211 and the third limiting groove 1211 to achieve elastic clamping of the third limiting groove 1211 in the radial direction. At the same time, one end of the first adjusting member 411 extending into the first positioning groove 123 abuts against the third limiting groove 1211 to form a radial locking force on the variable magnification lens barrel 121. The first elastic positioning member 421 cooperates with the first adjusting member 411 to jointly restrain the variable magnification lens barrel 121 from displacing in the radial and / or axial directions, so that the variable magnification lens barrel 121 is stabilized at the adjusted position.
[0041] Refer Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, a second limiting groove 1331 is formed by opening the groove wall of the second positioning groove 133. A fourth limiting groove 1311 corresponding to the second limiting groove 1331 in the radial direction is recessed in the outer wall of the compensating lens barrel 131 along the circumferential direction. The second elastic positioning member 422 is embedded in the second limiting groove 1331. The second elastic positioning member 422 is configured with a second arc-shaped inner wall 4221 that forms point-line contact with the fourth limiting groove 1311 to form radial elastic clamping on the compensating lens barrel 131. One end of the second adjusting member 412 extending into the second positioning groove 133 abuts against the fourth limiting groove 1311.
[0042] The second limiting groove 1331 is used to embed the second elastic positioning member 422 (such as a spring wire) to fix the installation position of the second elastic positioning member 422 and prevent the second elastic positioning member 422 from detaching from the compensating lens base 132. A part of the inner wall of the second elastic positioning member 422 is processed into an arc-shaped curved surface to form a second arc-shaped inner wall 4221. Point-line contact is formed between the second arc-shaped inner wall 4221 and the fourth limiting groove 1311 to achieve elastic clamping of the fourth limiting groove 1311 in the radial direction.

The drive unit 50 is disposed on the mounting base 21. A gear structure (not shown) is circumferentially disposed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 31. The output end of the drive unit 50 is provided with a gear (not shown) that meshes with the gear structure. The drive unit 50 precisely controls the rotation angle and speed of the rotating cylinder 31, achieving stepless magnification and dynamic aberration correction, thereby improving the accuracy, reliability, and integration of the dual-optical-path continuous magnification device 100 for a surgical microscope.
[0053] Ginseng Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the rotating cylinder 31 is constructed with a rotating portion 313 that is rotatably connected to the mounting base 21. The surgical microscope dual-optical path continuous magnification device 100 also includes two spring plates 26 symmetrically arranged on either side of the rotating cylinder 31. The spring plates 26 extend to form spring portions 261 (e.g., leaf springs) that engage the rotating portion 313. The rotating portion 313 ensures smooth rotation of the rotating cylinder 31 and reduces shaking. The spring plates 26, through the elastic pressure of the spring portions 261, press against the rotating portion 313, reducing axial clearance between the rotating cylinder 31 and the mounting base 21, thereby preventing displacement errors during magnification change.
