Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of eye monitoring equipment technology, specifically to an integrated monitoring device that integrates protrusion measurement, eye position photography, and night vision eyelid closure monitoring functions. Background Technology

[0002] Eyeball protrusion measurement, eye position photography, and nighttime eyelid incomplete closure monitoring are key steps in assessing the eye health status of patients with orbital diseases, diagnosing various eye diseases, and developing personalized treatment plans. They are the "three essential tests" for patients with orbital diseases.

[0003] Eye exotropia measurement is an important basis for diagnosing eye diseases such as thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy, orbital tumors, and inflammatory pseudotumors. Traditional methods of eye exotropia measurement, such as Hertel axial length measurement, have a certain degree of accuracy, but they are quite sensitive to factors such as measurement posture and timing during operation, and cannot achieve real-time dynamic monitoring, making it difficult to capture subtle changes in eye exotropia.

[0004] 1. Limitations of Traditional Measurement Tools: The commonly used Hertel exophthalmometer measures in millimeters. While its structure is relatively simple, it is highly dependent on manual operation and reading. Different operators have varying techniques, habits, and experience. During measurement, the instrument position must be manually adjusted to align the red line of the prism with the corneal apex and read the scale. Furthermore, different interorbital distances result in different measurement results. This process is highly susceptible to human error, leading to poor measurement stability and failing to meet the clinical demand for high-precision measurements. In cases requiring long-term monitoring of exophthalmos to assess disease progression or treatment effectiveness, large measurement errors may cause doctors to misjudge changes in the condition.

[0005] 2. Disadvantages of Imaging Methods: While computed tomography (CT) scans can provide relatively accurate values ​​for measuring exophthalmos, CT equipment has several significant drawbacks. Firstly, the radiation dose is high, and frequent examinations pose potential health risks to patients, especially children and pregnant women, significantly limiting the application of CT in repetitive exophthalmos measurements. Secondly, CT examinations are expensive, with substantial costs for equipment purchase and maintenance, placing a heavy burden on patients. Furthermore, the examination process is cumbersome, with long waiting times from appointment to result acquisition, hindering rapid clinical diagnosis and disease monitoring.

[0006] Eye position photography is mainly used for establishing patient records for orbital diseases and for diagnosing and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment for extraocular muscle diseases such as strabismus. Currently, the clinical practice of eye position photography mainly involves manually taking 16 photos of the patient's eyes from different angles, which are then imported into the medical record system, taking an average of 7-8 minutes per person.

[0007] 1. High dependence on manpower: The current eye position imaging process relies heavily on on-site guidance and operation by medical staff. Medical staff need to constantly verbally instruct patients to adjust the position of their eyeballs (such as up, down, left, right, etc.) while operating the equipment to take pictures. The process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, which can easily lead to low work efficiency during peak patient periods. Moreover, long-term repetitive work can easily result in guidance oversights or operational errors.

[0008] 2. Lack of automated guidance mechanism: Existing equipment is not equipped with an intelligent voice prompt system, making it impossible for patients to independently complete eye positioning photography based on prompts. This forces patients to constantly follow the instructions of medical staff during the examination, increasing communication costs between doctors and patients and limiting the application of eye positioning photography in scenarios with insufficient manpower (such as primary healthcare institutions and telemedicine).

[0009] Nocturnal eyelid incomplete closure monitoring is crucial for preventing ocular complications such as dry cornea and exposure keratitis, and is primarily used for patients with abnormal eyeball protrusion. Traditional monitoring methods rely heavily on regular nighttime rounds by healthcare professionals, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also suffers from problems such as long monitoring intervals and the potential to miss momentary instances of incomplete closure, making continuous and accurate nighttime eyelid monitoring difficult. For non-hospitalized patients, family members take photos and send them to healthcare professionals, which is particularly unsuitable for patients living alone. At night, low light conditions cause ordinary cameras to produce blurry and noisy images, making it difficult to clearly capture eyelid conditions; increasing the light source, on the other hand, can disrupt patient sleep, resulting in monitoring data that does not accurately reflect eyelid conditions during natural sleep.

[0010] Currently, exophthalmos measurement, eye position photography, and night vision eyelid monitoring are often performed independently by different devices, resulting in cumbersome clinical procedures that require repeated adjustments to equipment and examination environment. This not only increases the burden on patients and examination time costs but also reduces diagnostic and treatment efficiency. Furthermore, the data obtained from different devices lacks effective integration and correlation analysis, which is not conducive to doctors' comprehensive and accurate understanding of the patient's overall eye condition, nor to the establishment of a systematic and complete eye disease record and long-term follow-up research.

[0011] Therefore, developing an integrated device that combines eyeball protrusion measurement, eye position photography, and nighttime eyelid incomplete closure monitoring has become an urgent need in the field of ophthalmology, in order to improve the efficiency and accuracy of eye disease diagnosis and optimize the treatment experience for patients with orbital lesions. Summary of the Invention

[0012] In view of this, in order to partially or completely solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an integrated monitoring device for protruding eye, eye position, and eyelid.

[0013] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0014] An integrated monitoring device for exophthalmos-eye position-eyelid includes an overall support and positioning system, an exophthalmos measurement module, an eye position photography module, a night vision eyelid closure monitoring module, and a data integration and transmission system.

[0015] The overall support and positioning system includes a U-shaped bracket, longitudinal guide rails, a crossbeam, an electrically adjustable seat, a 3D eye positioning sensor, and a central control system. The U-shaped bracket has a chin support in the middle and high-precision longitudinal guide rails on both sides, which are driven by ball screws. The crossbeam is laterally movable and mounted on the longitudinal guide rails, driven by a servo motor and with position feedback via a grating ruler. The electrically adjustable seat is located at the bottom of the U-shaped bracket and is equipped with a pressure sensor and position adjustment buttons. The 3D eye positioning sensor uses infrared depth imaging technology to capture the patient's three-dimensional eye coordinates in real time and transmit them to the central control system. The central control system drives the longitudinal guide rails and crossbeam based on the received position information, enabling automatic positioning of each functional module.

[0016] The bulging-eye measurement module is mounted on a modular mounting base on the crossbeam and includes a multi-dimensional rotating measuring arm, a measuring prism, a high-definition industrial camera, and a laser positioner. The measuring arm is made of carbon fiber, and its end integrates the measuring prism, the high-definition industrial camera, and the laser positioner. The high-definition industrial camera is connected to a corneal vertex recognition system based on deep learning. The laser positioner is used to emit a laser beam to assist in initial positioning. The measuring prism has a built-in grating sensor for reading bulging-eye values ​​and transmitting them to the central control system.

[0017] The eye position imaging module is mounted on another modular mounting base of the crossbeam and includes a high-resolution low-light camera, an intelligent voice prompter, and a multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device. The intelligent voice prompter is a directional speaker used to issue directional commands to guide the patient to adjust the position of their eyeballs. The high-resolution low-light camera has automatic focus and exposure adjustment functions and is mounted on the multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device. The multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device consists of two mutually perpendicular rotating axes, driven by a stepper motor and with the assistance of an angle sensor for position feedback, to realize the rotation of the camera in the horizontal and vertical directions.

[0018] The night vision eyelid closure monitoring module is mounted on one side of the U-shaped bracket using a telescopic and foldable structure. It includes an infrared high-definition camera, a low-power infrared fill light, and an adjustable cantilever. The adjustable cantilever is a multi-section damping hinge structure that can achieve 360° rotation and length adjustment. The infrared high-definition camera uses a 1 / 2.8-inch CMOS sensor and has starlight-level night vision capabilities. The low-power infrared fill light is an array design that emits infrared light with a wavelength of 850nm.

[0019] Furthermore, the data integration and transmission system includes a high-performance microprocessor, a data storage unit, and a wireless transmission module integrated into the central control system; the data storage unit is a large-capacity solid-state drive used to store examination data and image information; the wireless transmission module supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi transmission and is used to transmit the integrated data to the hospital medical record system and the doctor's mobile terminal; the central control system has data encryption function.

[0020] Furthermore, the night vision eyelid closure monitoring module also includes a body position restriction mechanism for restricting and controlling the upper body of the patient. The body position restriction mechanism includes an electric telescopic mechanism fixed under the electric adjustable seat and a limiter fixed at the end of the electric telescopic mechanism. A flipping mechanism is provided between the electric telescopic mechanism and the limiter.

[0021] Furthermore, the limiter includes a left pressure block and a right pressure block, and an adjustment mechanism for setting the left pressure block and the right pressure block. Both the left pressure block and the right pressure block are provided with arc-shaped limiting surfaces for fitting and fixing to the body.

[0022] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism comprises a connecting rod disposed between the left pressure block and the right pressure block, and an electric adjusting rod disposed between the connecting rod and the left pressure block and between the connecting rod and the right pressure block.

[0023] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism is a worm gear synchronous clamping mechanism, specifically including a worm shaft rotatably fixed on the left pressure block and a first worm wheel and a second worm wheel fixedly fixed on the worm shaft, as well as a first worm gear meshing with the first worm wheel and a second worm gear meshing with the second worm wheel, the other ends of the first worm gear and the second worm gear being rotatably connected to the right pressure block.

[0024] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes a fixed base fixed to the electric telescopic mechanism and a flipping base rotatably connected to the fixed base. An active link and a driven link are rotatably connected between the fixed base and the flipping base. The active link includes a first link and a second link rotatably connected to the first link. One end of the first link is rotatably connected to the fixed base, and the other end of the first link is rotatably connected to one end of the second link. The other end of the second link is rotatably connected to the flipping base. The middle region of the driven link is rotatably connected to the first link.

[0025] Furthermore, one end of the driven link is rotatably connected to the flipping seat, and the other end of the driven link is provided with a sliding rod. The fixed seat and the area where the driven link is connected are respectively provided with a sliding groove for the horizontal movement of the sliding rod.

[0026] Furthermore, a storage slot for storing the body position restriction mechanism is provided below the electrically adjustable seat.

[0027] Furthermore, the bulging eye measurement module, eye position photography module, and night vision eyelid closure monitoring module are all equipped with universal joint mechanisms and universal joint mechanisms.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0029] 1. This invention integrates the exophthalmos measurement module, eye position photography module, and night vision eyelid closure monitoring module on the crossbeam of a U-shaped bracket, and realizes intelligent control of the three detections through a 3D eye positioning sensor and a central control system, thereby integrating the three detection functions into one operation.

[0030] 2. The newly added body position restriction mechanism can stably restrict the patient's upper body position at night through adaptive adjustment limiters and flipping mechanisms, preventing the head from deviating from the monitoring range when turning over. This improves the data continuity of night vision eyelid closure monitoring from the traditional 50% to more than 90%, solving the core pain point of "data omission".

[0031] 3. The left and right pressure blocks of the body position restriction mechanism adopt arc-shaped limiting surfaces, and the adjustment mechanism supports a spacing adjustment of 200-500mm to adapt to patients of different body types; and an appropriate clamping force of ≤50N is set to avoid excessive pressure and discomfort; the flipping mechanism can realize 0-90° angle adjustment to adapt to the patient's sitting or semi-reclining position, further improving the comfort of nighttime use.

[0032] 4. When not in use, the body position restriction mechanism can be stored in the storage slot under the electrically adjustable seat, without taking up extra examination space. This reduces the overall footprint of the device by more than 70% compared to traditional multi-device combinations, making it suitable for the small clinic environment of primary healthcare institutions.

[0033] 5. The exophthalmos measurement module, eye position photography module, and night vision eyelid closure monitoring module are all equipped with universal joints / universal joints, which can achieve rapid micro-adjustment of small angles (≤5°). Even if there are slight changes in the patient's body position, the monitoring module can still ensure that it is accurately aligned with the eye or eyelid.

[0034] In summary, this invention innovatively proposes an integrated device that combines three eye detection functions: exophthalmos measurement, eye position photography, and night vision eyelid closure monitoring. Its high degree of integration and intelligence, along with its strong adaptability, significantly reduces the burden on patients and examination time costs, while also improving diagnostic efficiency. Furthermore, the effective integration and correlation analysis of acquired information facilitates doctors' comprehensive and accurate understanding of the patient's overall eye condition and helps establish a systematic and complete eye disease record, demonstrating strong practical value.

Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0051] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual pictures. They should not be construed as limiting the invention. To better illustrate the embodiments of the invention, some parts in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual product dimensions. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0052] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated monitoring device for exophthalmos-eye position-eyelid, including an overall support and positioning system 1, an exophthalmos degree measurement module 2, an eye position photography module 3, a night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4, and a data integration and transmission system 5.

[0053] The overall support and positioning system forms the core support framework of the device, enabling patient positioning and automatic positioning of each functional module. Specifically, it includes a U-shaped bracket 6, longitudinal guide rails 7, a crossbeam 8, an electrically adjustable seat 9, a 3D eye positioning sensor 10, and a central control system 11. A chin support 12 is located in the middle of the U-shaped bracket to support the patient's chin. This area is made of medical-grade ABS material and covered with a silicone pad to prevent pressure discomfort on the patient's chin. High-precision longitudinal guide rails 7 are located on both sides of the U-shaped bracket. These rails are driven by ball screws and servo motors, achieving a feed accuracy of over 0.01mm to ensure precise module movement. The crossbeam 8, through a ball screw mechanism 52, forms a laterally movable structure with the longitudinal guide rails 7. It is driven by a servo motor and uses a grating ruler for position feedback, with a positioning error ≤0.005mm. The electrically adjustable seat 9 is located at the bottom of the U-shaped bracket 6; the seat height and fore-aft position can be adjusted via position adjustment buttons. The seat can be manually adjusted or automatically adjusted by the central control system 11. A pressure sensor is embedded in the seat surface. When the patient sits down, the pressure sensor triggers a signal to the central control system 11 to start the subsequent positioning process. The seat is equipped with a pressure sensor and a position adjustment button. The 3D eye positioning sensor 10 uses infrared depth imaging technology and is installed at the top center of the U-shaped bracket 6. It can capture the three-dimensional coordinates of the patient's eyes in real time (accuracy ≤0.1mm) and transmit the coordinate data to the central control system 11. The central control system 11 uses an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor and integrates motion control algorithms and data processing modules. Based on the coordinate information of the 3D eye positioning sensor 10, it can drive the servo motors of the longitudinal guide rail 7 and the crossbeam 8 to achieve automatic alignment and positioning of the exophthalmos measurement module 2 and the eye position imaging module 3. The positioning response time is ≤0.5s.

[0054] The exophthalmos measurement module 2 is mounted on one of the modular mounting bases 53 of the crossbeam 8 for precise measurement of eyeball protrusion. It includes a multi-dimensional rotating measuring arm 13, a measuring prism 14, a high-definition industrial camera 15, and a laser locator 16. The multi-dimensional rotating measuring arm 13 is made of carbon fiber (weight ≤300g), combining high strength and lightweight characteristics. The measuring arm integrates at least one universal joint mechanism 17 and one universal joint mechanism 18, enabling horizontal ±90° and vertical ±60° rotation to meet the measurement needs of patients with different eye positions. The measuring prism 14 incorporates a high-precision grating sensor (dimension...). The measuring prism 14 (with a resolution of 0.001mm) is installed at the end of the measuring arm. It captures the position of the corneal vertex through the principle of prism refraction, reads the exophthalmos value in real time, and transmits it to the central control system 11. The high-definition industrial camera 15 has a resolution of ≥5 million pixels and a frame rate of ≥30fps. It is connected to a corneal vertex recognition system based on deep learning (the model training set contains 10,000+ eye images) and can automatically identify the coordinates of the corneal vertex to assist in the calibration of the measuring prism 14. The laser locator 16 emits a red visible laser beam with a wavelength of 650nm to align with the center of the patient's pupil during initial positioning, shortening the measurement preparation time.

[0055] The eye position imaging module 3 is mounted on another modular mounting base 53 of the crossbeam 8, including a high-resolution low-light camera 19, an intelligent voice prompter 20, and a multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device 21. The high-resolution low-light camera 19 has a resolution of ≥8 million pixels, and has automatic focusing (focusing speed ≤0.3s) and exposure adjustment functions. It can still produce clear images in low-light environments (≥5 lux). The intelligent voice prompter 20 uses a directional speaker (sound coverage angle ≤30°) and can play directional commands such as "look left" and "look up" to guide the patient to adjust the position of their eyeballs. The volume of the commands can be adjusted (20-60dB) through the central control system 11. The multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device 21 consists of a horizontal rotation axis and a vertical rotation axis, driven by a stepper motor (step angle ≤1.8°) and uses an angle sensor (accuracy ≤0.1°) to achieve position feedback. It can drive the camera to rotate synchronously according to the patient's eyeball movement trajectory to ensure that the eyeball is always in the center of the viewfinder.

[0056] The night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4 is mounted on one side of the U-shaped bracket 6 using a telescopic and foldable structure. It includes an infrared high-definition camera 22, a low-power infrared fill light 23, and an adjustable cantilever 24. The infrared high-definition camera 22 uses a 1 / 2.8-inch CMOS sensor with a resolution of ≥2 million pixels and starlight-level night vision (minimum illumination ≤0.001 lux), capable of capturing color images at a frame rate of 25fps. The low-power infrared fill light 23 uses an array design (16 infrared LEDs) to emit infrared light with a wavelength of 850nm (adjustable light intensity: 10-1000mW), with a fill light distance of 0.5-2m, avoiding strong light stimulation to the patient's eyes. The adjustable cantilever 24 uses a multi-section damping hinge structure, which can achieve 360° rotation and 0.3-1.2m length adjustment. After adjustment, it can maintain a fixed position without additional locking.

[0057] Furthermore, the data integration and transmission system 5 is integrated into the central control system 11 to realize data storage, integration, and transmission. Specifically, it includes a high-performance microprocessor 25, a data storage unit 26, and a wireless transmission module 27 integrated into the central control system 11. The high-performance microprocessor 25 uses a quad-core processor (1.5GHz), capable of processing three modules simultaneously with a data processing latency of ≤100ms. The data storage unit 26 uses a 1TB high-capacity solid-state drive, capable of storing examination data (including exophthalmos values, eye position images, and eyelid closure videos) for ≥10,000 patients, with a configurable data retention period (1-5 years). The wireless transmission module 27 supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 6 transmission protocols, enabling real-time transmission of integrated data (including patient ID, examination time, detection parameters, and images / videos) to the hospital's electronic medical record system (HIS / LIS system) or doctor's mobile terminal (phone, tablet). The data encryption function uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt transmitted data, preventing data leakage and complying with medical data security standards such as HIPAA and the "Basic Functional Specifications for Hospital Information Systems."

[0058] Furthermore, the night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4 also includes a body position restriction mechanism 28 for restricting and controlling the upper body of the patient. The body position restriction mechanism 28 includes an electric telescopic mechanism 29 fixed under the electric adjustable seat 9 and a limiter 30 fixed at the end of the electric telescopic mechanism 29. A flipping mechanism 31 is provided between the electric telescopic mechanism 29 and the limiter 30.

[0059] Furthermore, the night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4 also includes a neck brace, which is fixed to the body position restriction mechanism. The neck brace restricts the patient's jaw, thereby limiting excessive head rotation and reducing the adaptive tracking range of this module.

[0060] Furthermore, the limiter 30 includes a left pressure block 32 and a right pressure block 33, and an adjustment mechanism 34 that sets the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33. Both the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33 are provided with arc-shaped limiting surfaces 35 for fitting and fixing to the body.

[0061] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism 34 consists of a connecting rod 36 disposed between the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33, and an electric adjustment rod 37 disposed between the connecting rod 36 and the left pressure block 32 and between the connecting rod 36 and the right pressure block 33. The distance between the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33 is adjusted by the electric adjustment rod 37, which is suitable for use by different patients.

[0062] As a variation, the adjusting mechanism 34 is a worm gear synchronous clamping mechanism, specifically including a worm gear shaft 38 rotatably fixed on the left pressure block 32, a first worm gear 39 and a second worm gear 40 fixedly on the worm gear shaft 38, a first worm 41 meshing with the first worm gear 39, and a second worm 42 meshing with the second worm gear 40. The other ends of the first worm 41 and the second worm 42 are rotatably connected to the right pressure block 33. A drive motor is provided at the end of the worm gear shaft 38. When the drive motor rotates, it drives the worm gear shaft 38 to rotate, thereby driving the first worm gear 39 and the second worm gear 40 to rotate synchronously. The first worm gear 41 rotates, and the second worm wheel 40 drives the second worm gear 42 to rotate. Since both the first worm gear 41 and the second worm gear 42 are rotated and fixed to the right pressure block 33, they can simultaneously pull the right pressure block 33 closer or further away. Because the first worm wheel 39 and the second worm wheel 40 are exactly the same, that is, their module and pressure angle are exactly the same, and the first worm gear 41 and the second worm gear 42 are also exactly the same, that is, their module and pressure angle are exactly the same, when the rotation speed is also the same, the two sets of mechanisms achieve the same travel distance, thereby achieving completely consistent drive on both sides, thus ensuring the synchronization of the two and ensuring the limiting effect.

[0063] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism 31 of this embodiment includes a fixed base 43 fixed to the electric telescopic mechanism 29 and a flipping base 44 rotatably connected to the fixed base 43. An active link 45 and a driven link 46 are rotatably connected between the fixed base 43 and the flipping base 44. The active link 45 includes a first link 47 and a second link 48 rotatably connected to the first link 47. One end of the first link 47 is rotatably connected to the fixed base 43, and the other end of the first link 47 is rotatably connected to one end of the second link 48. The other end of the second link 48 is rotatably connected to the flipping base 44. The middle region of the driven link 46 is rotatably connected to the first link 47.

[0064] Furthermore, one end of the driven link 46 is rotatably connected to the flipping seat 44, and the other end of the driven link 46 is provided with a sliding rod 49. The fixed seat 43 and the area where the driven link 46 are connected are respectively provided with a sliding groove 50 for the horizontal movement of the sliding rod 49.

[0065] In this embodiment, a drive motor is provided on the first link 47 of the active link 45. Under the rotational drive of the drive motor, the first link 47 and the driven link 46 are driven to rotate, and the second link 48 is driven to rotate. At this time, one end of the driven link 46 rotates on the flipping seat 44, and the other end moves horizontally along the sliding groove 50, thereby realizing the flipping of the flipping seat 44. Since the flipping seat 44 is fixed to the limiter 30, the limiter 30 is flipped.

[0066] Furthermore, a storage slot 51 for storing the body positioning restraint mechanism 28 is provided below the electrically adjustable seat 9. The electrically telescopic mechanism 29 can retract the entire limiter 30 into the storage slot 51 for storage, reducing space occupation when not in use.

[0067] Specifically, the electric telescopic mechanism 29 includes a guide block that slides in cooperation with the storage slot 51, and a rotating screw that is fixed at one end to the storage slot 51 and at the other end to the guide block. The guide block is driven to move in the storage slot by the rotation of the rotating screw. When the rotating screw is equipped with a drive motor and the drive motor is electrically connected to the central control system 11, it can be controlled in real time by the central control system 11.

[0068] Furthermore, the bulging eye measurement module 2, the eye position photography module 3, and the night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4 are all equipped with universal joint mechanism 18 and universal joint mechanism 17. Through the universal joint mechanism 18 and universal joint mechanism 17, more degrees of freedom in multiple directions can be achieved, making the movement of the three functional modules more flexible and increasing their adaptability.

[0069] Example 1: Ophthalmological Examination

[0070] Patient positioning: The patient sits on the electrically adjustable seat 9 with his chin placed in the chin support position 12 of the U-shaped bracket 6; after the pressure sensor detects that the patient is seated, it sends a signal to the central control system 11.

[0071] Automatic positioning: The 3D eye positioning sensor 10 is activated to capture the three-dimensional coordinates of the patient's eyes (e.g., left eye coordinates X=120.5mm, Y=85.3mm, Z=50.2mm). The central control system 11 drives the longitudinal guide rail 7 and the crossbeam 8 to align the protrusion measurement module 2 and the eye position photography module 3 with the patient's eyes. The positioning is completed in 0.4s.

[0072] Exophthalmos measurement: The laser locator 16 emits a laser and aligns it with the center of the pupil. The multi-dimensional rotating measuring arm 13 is adjusted to a suitable angle through the universal joint mechanism 17. The measuring prism 14 is close to the outer wall of the patient's orbit. The high-definition industrial camera 15 identifies the corneal apex. The grating sensor reads the exophthalmos value (e.g., 18.2mm for the left eye and 18.5mm for the right eye). The data is transmitted to the central control system 11 in real time.

[0073] Eye position photography: The intelligent voice prompt device 20 plays commands such as "look left" and "look up" (a total of 8 standard positions), and the multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device 21 drives the high-resolution low-light camera 19 to simultaneously track the eye movement and capture 8 sets of eye position images with an image resolution of 8 million pixels and clear focus.

[0074] Data transmission: The data integration and transmission system 5 encrypts the exophthalmos value and eye position image, and then transmits them to the hospital's electronic medical record system via the wireless transmission module 27 (Wi-Fi). Doctors can view the data on their mobile terminals.

[0075] Equipment reset: After the examination is completed, the exophthalmos measurement module 2 and the eye position photography module 3 return to their initial positions, and the electrically adjustable seat 9 lowers to a height that makes it easy for the patient to stand up.

[0076] Example 2: Nighttime eyelid closure monitoring procedure

[0077] Equipment deployment: Medical staff pull out the adjustable cantilever 24 of the night vision eyelid closure monitoring module 4 (adjust the length to 0.8m), and adjust the angle of the infrared high-definition camera 22 through the damping hinge to aim at the patient's eyes;

[0078] Posture restriction: The central control system 11 activates the posture restriction mechanism 28, the electric telescopic mechanism 29 extends (stroke 0.5m), and the flipping mechanism 31 drives the limiter 30 to flip to the horizontal position (flipping angle 80°); the adjustment mechanism 34 adopts a worm gear synchronous clamping scheme, the drive motor works, the distance between the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33 is reduced, conforming to the patient's chest (chest circumference 90cm), the pressure sensor provides feedback on the clamping force (5-10N), ensuring comfort and not affecting breathing;

[0079] Nighttime monitoring: Low-power infrared fill light 23 is turned on (light intensity 500mW), infrared high-definition camera 22 starts shooting (frame rate 25fps) to monitor the patient's eyelid closure status in real time; if incomplete eyelid closure is detected (palpebral fissure width ≥2mm lasting for 10s), the system automatically marks the time period and stores the video segment.

[0080] Monitoring ends: After the monitoring is completed (the monitoring duration can be set from 1 to 8 hours), the electric telescopic mechanism 29 retracts, the limiter 30 flips to the vertical position and is stored in the storage slot 51 under the electric adjustable seat 9, and the data is transmitted to the doctor's mobile terminal via the wireless transmission module 27 (Bluetooth).

[0081] Example 3: Modified Application of Adjustment Mechanism

[0082] When the patient is a child (chest circumference 65cm), the adjustment mechanism 34 of the body position restriction mechanism 28 adopts the electric adjustment rod 37 scheme: the central control system 11 controls the electric adjustment rods 37 on both sides of the connecting rod 36 to retract (stroke 10cm) according to the patient's body size data, the distance between the left pressure block 32 and the right pressure block 33 is reduced from 12cm to 6.5cm, and the arc-shaped limiting surface 35 fits the child's chest to ensure that the patient does not move significantly during the monitoring process.

[0083] To further illustrate how the central control system 11 specifically controls each drive mechanism in this embodiment, the decision-making method and core parameters of the central control system 11 are further explained below:

[0084] The central control system 11, acting as the "central nervous system" of the integrated monitoring device for exophthalmos-eye position-eyelid, is based on an ARM Cortex-A9 dual-core processor. It integrates motion control algorithms and data processing modules, combining sensory data from various functional modules to achieve automated decision-making and precise control of the overall device operation. Its decision-making logic revolves around the entire process of "patient positioning - module positioning - function execution - data processing - device reset." The specific decision-making methods and core parameters involved (including digital labeling terminology) are described below.

[0085] I. Patient Placement Trigger Decision: Pressure Sensing-Based Activation Logic

[0086] (a) Decision-making scenarios

[0087] Once the patient enters the device's detection area and completes the initial positioning, the system automatically starts the subsequent procedures.

[0088] (ii) Decision-making methods

[0089] The patient sits on the electrically adjustable seat 9 with his chin placed in the chin support position 12 of the U-shaped bracket 6 (medical-grade ABS material + silicone pad).

[0090] The pressure sensor embedded in the surface of the electrically adjustable seat 9 detects the pressure signal and triggers the signal to be transmitted to the central control system 11.

[0091] After receiving the pressure signal, the central control system 11 determines that the patient is in position and starts the preheating program of the 3D eye positioning sensor 10 and each functional module.

[0092] (III) Core Parameters

[0093] Triggering element: The electrically adjustable seat 9 has a built-in pressure sensor (no specific model, based on function triggering).

[0094] Start-up objects: 3D eye positioning sensor 10, bulging eye measurement module 2, and eye position photography module 3 preheat.

[0095] II. Automatic Positioning Decision: Precise Alignment of Modules Based on Three-Dimensional Coordinates

[0096] (a) Decision-making scenarios

[0097] After the patient is in position, the exophthalmos measurement module 2 and the eye position photography module 3 need to be automatically aligned with the patient's eyes to lay the foundation for subsequent testing.

[0098] (ii) Decision-making methods

[0099] The 3D eye positioning sensor 10 (using infrared depth imaging technology) is activated to capture the three-dimensional coordinates of the patient's eyes in real time, with a coordinate accuracy of ≤0.1mm;

[0100] The central control system 11 receives coordinate data (e.g., left eye coordinates X=120.5mm, Y=85.3mm, Z=50.2mm) and analyzes the coordinate deviation through the built-in motion control algorithm;

[0101] Based on the deviation data, the servo motors driving the longitudinal guide rail 7 (ball screw drive, servo motor drive) and the crossbeam 8 (ball screw mechanism 52 + grating ruler position feedback) are adjusted to adjust the position of the crossbeam 8 and the modular mounting base 53.

[0102] The system receives position signals from the grating ruler in real time (positioning error ≤ 0.005 mm) until the protrusion measurement module 2 and the eye position photography module 3 are completely aligned with the eyes, and the positioning is completed.

[0113] The multi-dimensional rotating measuring arm 13 (carbon fiber material, weight ≤300g) is controlled by adjusting the angle through the universal joint mechanism 17 and the universal joint mechanism 18 to achieve horizontal ±90° and vertical ±60° rotation, so that the measuring prism 14 is close to the outer wall of the patient's orbit.

[0114] Start the HD industrial camera 15 (resolution ≥ 5 million pixels, frame rate ≥ 30fps) and automatically identify the corneal vertex coordinates through a deep learning corneal vertex recognition system trained on 10,000+ eye images;

[0115] Using the corneal vertex coordinates as a reference, the high-precision grating sensor (resolution 0.001mm) built into the measuring prism 14 is calibrated to read the protrusion value (such as 18.2mm for the left eye and 18.5mm for the right eye in Example 1) and transmit it back to the central control system 11 in real time.

[0126] The multi-degree-of-freedom automatic tracking drive device 21 (composed of a horizontal rotation axis and a vertical rotation axis, driven by a stepper motor) is started synchronously. Based on the patient's eye movement trajectory, the position is fed back in real time through an angle sensor (accuracy ≤0.1°).

[0127] Drive a high-resolution low-light camera 19 (resolution ≥ 8 million pixels, focus speed ≤ 0.3s) to simultaneously track the eye, and capture clear images in low-light environments (≥ 5 lux) to capture 8 sets of eye position images;
