Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a portable surgical microscope. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern medicine, surgical microscopes, as a crucial medical instrument, play a vital role in delicate surgeries. They provide surgeons with a magnified surgical field, assisting them in performing high-precision surgical operations and significantly improving the success rate and quality of surgery. However, existing surgical microscopes generally have some significant drawbacks: traditional surgical microscopes are usually bulky, with complex support structures that occupy a large amount of space, and the main body is also quite heavy. This makes it extremely inconvenient to transport and move surgical microscopes, requiring a great deal of manpower and resources.

[0003] In off-site training scenarios, the training locations are often not fixed, requiring frequent moving and installation of surgical microscopes. Due to their size and weight limitations, the transportation and setup of the equipment is cumbersome, consuming a lot of time and energy, which affects the efficiency and effectiveness of the training.

[0004] In simple surgical settings, such as primary healthcare institutions or temporary medical points, large surgical microscopes are difficult to adapt to and deploy quickly due to limited space and equipment resources, which may delay the timing of surgery and affect the patient's treatment.

[0005] In wartime surgical environments, battlefield conditions are complex and ever-changing, requiring rapid response and flexible allocation of medical resources. The bulky nature of traditional surgical microscopes makes them difficult to move to the required location in a short time, failing to meet the needs of emergency wartime surgery and potentially endangering the lives of wounded soldiers.

[0006] In conclusion, the portability issues of existing surgical microscopes severely limit their application in certain special scenarios. Therefore, developing a portable surgical microscope is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable surgical microscope that overcomes the shortcomings of traditional surgical microscopes in terms of portability, meets the needs of special scenarios for carrying, rapidly deploying, and flexibly using surgical microscopes, and is suitable for applications including field training, simplified surgical environments, and wartime surgical environments.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A portable surgical microscope includes a support and a microscope body, wherein the support includes: The outriggers include a first outrigger and a second outrigger; A crossbar, the two ends of which are detachably connected to the first leg and the second leg, respectively; A vertical rod is detachably connected to the horizontal rod, and the microscope body is detachably connected to the vertical rod. The surgical microscope has a portable state and a usage state. In the portable state, the first leg, the second leg, the crossbar, the vertical bar, and the microscope body are separated from each other. In the usage state, the crossbar is connected between the first leg and the second leg, the vertical bar is connected to the crossbar, and the microscope body is connected to the vertical bar.

[0009] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the support further includes a connecting rod, which is detachably connected between the crossbar and the first leg and / or the second leg. The connecting rod can increase the distance between the first leg and the second leg to accommodate various microscope operating space sizes.

[0010] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the first leg and the second leg include a fork arm and a folding arm. The bottom of the fork arm forms at least two feet. The top of the fork arm is detachably connected to one end of the folding arm, and the other end of the folding arm is detachably connected to the crossbar. Compared with the integrated structure, the detachable structure can further reduce the volume of the module and improve convenience.

[0011] More preferably, the support leg is equipped with a pad to prevent slipping.

[0012] More preferably, the support leg is equipped with rollers for easy movement.

[0013] More preferably, the bending angle of the folding arm is 95-105 degrees, so that the two folding arms form an angle of less than 90 degrees, thereby improving the stability of the folding arm support.

[0014] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the crossbar is a telescopic structure, and the length of a single crossbar can be adjusted to adapt to various microscope operating space sizes.

[0015] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the vertical rod is a telescopic structure, which can adjust the height of the microscope body according to actual usage needs.

[0016] Preferably, in the above technical solution, the vertical rod includes a support column and a connecting arm. The support column is detachably connected to the horizontal rod, and the connecting arm can move vertically relative to the support column. The microscope body is detachably connected to the connecting arm, which allows the height of the microscope body to be adjusted according to actual usage needs and enables quick assembly and disassembly.

[0017] More preferably, the top of the support column is provided with a connecting groove, and the crossbar is inserted into the connecting groove.

[0018] More preferably, the vertical rod further includes an adjustment assembly for driving the connecting arm to adjust in the vertical direction. The adjustment assembly includes a nut, a lead screw, a knob, and a guide rod. The nut is disposed inside the support column and can move in the vertical direction. The lead screw passes through the top of the connecting groove, through the crossbar, through the support column, and is threadedly engaged with the nut. The knob is connected to the top of the lead screw. One end of the guide rod is connected to the nut, and the other end of the guide rod passes through the support column and is connected to the connecting arm.

[0019] Preferably, the bracket is made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber to minimize its weight.

[0020] Preferably, in the above-mentioned technical solution, the total weight of the surgical microscope is less than 20 kg.

[0021] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: 1. Significantly improved portability: The use of lightweight materials and optimized structural design greatly reduces the size and weight of the surgical microscope, keeping the total weight below 20 kg. Equipped with a carrying case, it is easy to carry, allowing operators to easily take it to different locations, whether for training, grassroots medical points, or the front lines, ensuring rapid arrival at the destination and providing strong support for timely surgery.

[0022] 2. Convenient and rapid deployment: The modular design and quick connection and locking structure make the installation and disassembly of components simple and quick. In a short time, operators can take the components out of the portable case, install them, and put them into use. This is of great significance in emergency surgery or training scenarios, as it can save a lot of time and improve work efficiency.

[0023] 3. Adaptable to Multiple Environments: The portable surgical microscope is designed to meet the specific needs of field training, simplified surgical environments, and wartime surgical environments. It has rapid deployment capabilities and good adaptability. During field training, operators can quickly take the components out of the carrying case and assemble them for training demonstrations.

[0026] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 2 The portable surgical microscope shown includes a support 1 and a microscope body 2. The support 1 and the microscope body 2 are described in detail below.

[0029] The support frame 1 is made of lightweight, high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber. Aluminum alloy has advantages such as low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance, which can significantly reduce weight while ensuring the stability of the support frame 1. Carbon fiber has an even higher strength-to-weight ratio, further reducing the weight of the support frame 1. This allows the total weight of the support frame 1 and the microscope body 2 to be kept below 20 kg. The components of the support frame 1 are made using precision casting and CNC machining processes to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality, as well as structural strength and shape accuracy.

[0030] The support frame 1 adopts a modular design, mainly including legs, horizontal bars 11, and vertical bars 12. All three components—legs, horizontal bars 11, and vertical bars 12—are modular and detachable structures, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the support frame 1. The legs, horizontal bars 11, and vertical bars 12 can be designed as hollow structures to reduce weight. Specifically: The support legs include a first support leg 10a and a second support leg 10b. In this embodiment, the first support leg 10a and the second support leg 10b adopt the same structure. Specifically, the first support leg 10a and the second support leg 10b include a fork arm 100 and a folding arm 101. The top of the fork arm 100 is detachably connected to one end of the folding arm 101. Compared with the integrated structure, the detachable structure can further reduce the volume of the module and improve convenience.

[0031] The bottom of the fork arm 100 forms at least two legs. In the illustration, the fork arm 100 is inverted Y-shaped, i.e., two legs. Pads can be attached to the legs for anti-slip purposes, or casters can be attached for easy movement. Lockable casters are preferred. The bending angle of the folding arm 101 is 95-105 degrees, so that the two fork arms 100 form an angle of less than 90 degrees, improving the stability of the fork arm 100 support.

[0032] The two ends of the crossbar 11 are detachably connected to the first support leg 10a and the second support leg 10b, respectively. Specifically, the other end of the crossbar 11 is detachably connected to the other end of the folding arm 101. The crossbar 11 is available in various lengths and sizes to accommodate different microscope operating spaces, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this invention: the crossbar 11 is a telescopic structure, and the length of a single crossbar 11 can be adjusted to adapt to various microscope operating space sizes, such as the nesting of inner and outer tubes of a telescopic sleeve. A positioning screw can be set at the connection between the inner and outer tubes to fix them in the contracted and expanded state, or it can be adjusted by threads. The telescopic structure does not involve the inventive point of this application, and any conventional structure that can be implemented can be used.

[0034] In another preferred embodiment of this example: the support also includes a connecting rod (not shown in the figure), which is detachably connected between the crossbar 11 and the first leg 10a and / or the second leg 10b. The connecting rod can be provided with one or more sections to increase the distance between the first leg 10a and the second leg 10b, so as to adapt to various microscope operating space sizes.

[0035] The vertical rod 12 is detachably connected to the horizontal rod 11, and the microscope body 2 is detachably connected to the vertical rod 12. In the diagram, the upper end of the vertical rod 12 is connected to the horizontal rod 11, and the lower end of the vertical rod 12 is connected to the microscope body 2, which is located below the horizontal rod 11. In the diagram, the top of the vertical rod 12 is provided with a connecting groove 1200, the opening of which is perpendicular to the extension direction of the support column 12. During connection, the horizontal rod 11 is inserted into the connecting groove 1200, and the horizontal rod 11 and the vertical rod 12 can be fixed by fasteners.

[0036] In one embodiment of this invention: the vertical rod 12 includes a support column 120 and a connecting arm 121. The support column 120 is detachably connected to the horizontal rod 11, and the microscope body 2 is detachably connected to the connecting arm 121. A connecting groove 1200 is provided on the top of the support column 120. Preferably, the support column 120 is a telescopic structure, which can adjust the height of the microscope body 2 according to actual usage needs, such as the inner and outer tubes of a telescopic sleeve nested together. A positioning screw can be provided at the connection between the inner and outer tubes to fix it in the contracted and expanded state, or it can be adjusted by threads. The telescopic structure does not involve the inventive point of this application, and any conventional structure that can be implemented can be used.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this example, the vertical rod 12 further includes an adjustment component, which is used to drive the connecting arm 121 to adjust in the vertical direction, so that the connecting arm 121 can move relative to the support column 120 in the vertical direction, thereby adjusting the height of the microscope body 2 according to actual usage requirements.

[0038] like Figure 4As shown: The adjustment assembly includes a nut 1220, a lead screw 1221, a knob 1222, and a guide rod 1223. The nut 1220 is installed inside the support column 120 and can move vertically. That is, the support column 120 has space for installing the nut 1220 and for it to move. A limit switch is set inside the support column 120 to prevent the nut 1220 from rotating. The lead screw 1221 passes through the top of the connecting groove 1200, passes through the crossbar 11, passes through the support column 122, and is threadedly engaged with the nut 1220. The knob 1222 is connected to the top of the lead screw 1221. Rotating the knob 1222 can drive the lead screw 1221 to rotate. One end (upper end) of the guide rod 1223 is connected to the nut 1220, and the other end (lower end) of the guide rod 1223 passes out of the support column 120 and is connected to the connecting arm 121. In the figure, multiple guide rods 1223 are provided and are evenly distributed around the lead screw 1222. On the one hand, they can play a guiding role in movement, and on the other hand, they can improve the stability of the drive.

[0039] During installation: First, insert the crossbar 11 into the connecting groove 1200, then insert the lead screw 1221 into the connecting groove 1200, the crossbar 11, and the support column 120 until it is screwed into the nut 1220. Then, install the knob 1222 onto the top of the lead screw 1221. During adjustment: Rotate the knob 1222 to drive the lead screw 1221 to rotate. The nut 1220 is restricted from rotating under the drive of the lead screw 1221 and can only move along the lead screw 1221. It also drives the connecting arm 121 to move through the guide rod 1223, thereby adjusting the height of the connecting arm 121 and ensuring stability at different heights.

[0040] The microscope body 2 is detachably connected to the connecting arm 121, such as through a threaded connection, enabling quick installation and disassembly. This not only provides convenience and speed but also ensures the stability and reliability of the connection. In this embodiment, the microscope body 2 adopts a compact design and integrates a high-resolution camera and an LED lighting system. The high-resolution camera can capture minute surgical details, ensuring a clear and accurate surgical field of view in different environments. The LED lighting system provides uniform and stable illumination, unaffected by ambient light. Its cold light source design also avoids generating excessive heat that could affect the surgical site. Furthermore, it features adjustable brightness, allowing adjustments based on different surgical needs and ambient light conditions, ensuring the surgeon can perform the operation accurately and improving the success rate and quality of the surgery. Figure 5-9 In the microscope body 2, two sets of eyepieces are provided, allowing the operator to observe simultaneously through the eyepieces on both sides of the support 1.

[0041] The aforementioned detachable components, such as the fork arm 100 and the folding arm 101, and the crossbar 11 and the folding arm 101, can be connected by a plug-in method. After connection, they can be secured by tightening bolts, or they can be secured by a buckle or slot structure. The connection structure does not involve the inventive point of this application, and any conventional structure that can be implemented can be used.

[0042] The surgical microscope has a portable state and a working state. In the portable state, the first leg 10a and the second leg 10b (forked arm 100, folding arm 101), the crossbar 11, the vertical bar 12 (support 120, connecting arm 121), and the microscope body 2 are all separated from each other. They are placed in a carrying case for easy carrying, and the operator can easily carry them to different places. In the working state, the operator takes the parts out of the carrying case, connects the crossbar 11 between the first leg 10a and the second leg 10b (folding arm 101), connects the vertical bar 12 to the crossbar 11, and connects the microscope body 2 to the vertical bar 12, and puts it into use.

[0043] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the portable surgical microscope is placed above the table. The operator can observe through the eyepieces on both sides of the support 1. Two crossbars 11 of different lengths can provide different sizes of observation space below.

[0044] like Figure 7 As shown, the portable surgical microscope is placed above the table, allowing the operator to examine the arm below the microscope body 2.

[0045] Appendix Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the portable surgical microscope is placed above the table, allowing the operator to examine both legs or one leg below the microscope body 2.

[0046] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
