[0002] In laser treatment, the handpiece is a key component as the laser output terminal. It is responsible for transmitting the laser to the tissue to achieve the purpose of treatment or beauty. Different applications require different laser energy densities and thus different spot sizes. Therefore, the output spot size of the laser treatment handpiece is an important indicator for measuring the laser handpiece.

[0003] The traditional solution controls the output spot size by manually adjusting the position of the shaping lens inside the handpiece, such as the currently popular light-guide arm handpiece or the use of a handpiece set, multiple handpieces, each handpiece outputs a spot of different sizes, such as the Synolon 5Gmax handpiece and the Synoshow Elite handpiece. The first solution is manual adjustment, which has high requirements on the mechanical design of the system, and requires high design accuracy of key components and high-precision coordination between the mechanical parts of the handpiece. Otherwise, the manual debugging experience is extremely poor, and the performance is greatly reduced after multiple debugging. The second solution system requires multiple handpieces, which are cumbersome to replace. For example, 10 handpieces are required for 10 different sizes of spots, and the operating experience is poor. In addition, the handpiece spot recognition of the two traditional solutions is identified by integrating a recognition module inside the handpiece. The output spot step of traditional handpieces is generally 1mm or larger. Utility Model Content

The stepper motor performs a step angle rotation, and the screw rod also rotates the same angle accordingly. The shaping lens 5 can be a convex lens or a lens group, which is connected to the screw rod 4. The rotation of the screw rod drives the shaping lens 5 to move along the screw rod 4.

The electric laser treatment handpiece housing scheme of this patent is suitable for connecting optical fiber to output laser. At the same time, the patent uses a stepper motor to control the lens position scheme to control the system output light spot scheme, which is also suitable for controlling free space lasers, such as used as a light guide arm. The optical fiber interface 2 in the patent solution is changed to an interface that adapts to the housing of the light guide arm handpiece. The high precision of this patent refers to the high precision of the spot size control and the high precision of the spot recognition. The specific system uses the host computer to control the stepper motor and then control the position of the shaping lens connected to the stepper motor screw to control the system output spot size.
