Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of light adjustment, and particularly to a light adjustment device and an optical instrument. Background Art

[0002] Currently, more and more blue light treatment modules are integrated into other baby instruments on the market. Since the distance from the blue light emission to the treatment surface increases, the light angle on the treatment surface becomes smaller, resulting in problems such as a large amount of light spot overflowing the treatment surface and poor irradiance uniformity on the treatment surface.

[0003] In related technologies, most blue light optical solutions use multi-planoconvex lens solutions and single free-form lens solutions. Neither of these two solutions can well be compatible with and achieve the light collection function and the light energy distribution function. When using the free-form single lens optical module optical solution, a large angle of blue light cannot be utilized, and a large amount of blue light overflows the treatment surface and even the bed surface, causing light pollution and low energy utilization rate. When using a planoconvex lens, multiple lenses need to be combined into a single module, and often a light mixing rod is required for light mixing. The irradiance uniformity on the treatment surface is still not as good as that of the free-form lens. At the same time, the spot boundary of the traditional blue light optical solution is not clear enough, and even the spot edge is too astigmatic, which is likely to cause glare to the user and lead to visual fatigue at work.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the amount of light overflow and make the light spot formed by the light match the size of the receiving surface is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Utility Model

In addition, this application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art can be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0038] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , this application provides a light adjusting device and an optical instrument. The light adjusting device includes a light emitting module 1 for emitting light; a first adjusting module 2 for reducing the light emitting angle of the light emitted by the light emitting module 1 once and then emitting it; a second adjusting module 3 for receiving the light reduced once by the first adjusting module 2 and reducing the light again and then emitting it, so as to form a spot with controllable edges on the receiving surface; wherein, the light emitting module 1, the first adjusting module 2 and the second adjusting module 3 are arranged at intervals, and the light emitting center point of the light emitting module 1 is located on the central axis α of the first adjusting module 2 and the second adjusting module 3.

[0039] In the light adjusting device in the embodiment of this application, first, the first adjusting module 2 reduces the light emitting angle of the light once, and then after the second adjusting module 3 reduces it again, the light is emitted. The first adjusting module 2 and the second adjusting module 3 cooperate with each other to achieve the functions of light collection and uniform light energy distribution. A spot with controllable edges can be formed on the receiving surface. At the same time, the irradiance uniformity of the treatment surface is relatively good, the spot formed by the light matches the size of the receiving surface, the light overflow can be controlled, and the light utilization efficiency can be improved.

[0040] It should be noted that when the light adjustment device in the present application is applied to the blue light therapy program, the light emitting module 1 includes a lamp bead 11 whose light source is a Lambertian light source, and the light emitted by the lamp bead 11 is blue light with therapeutic properties; at this time, the first adjustment module 2 reduces the blue light once to realize the function of collecting blue light; the second adjustment module 3 can continue to adjust the light energy distribution of the blue light after the first reduction, and emit the light relatively evenly to the receiving surface, thereby forming a light spot with controllable edges, and forming a therapeutic light surface for the predetermined target on the receiving surface.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first adjustment module 2 includes a plano-convex lens 21, and the plano-convex lens 21 includes a first optical surface 211, a second optical surface 212, and a first peripheral surface 213 connected therebetween; Figure 2 As shown, the first optical surface 211 and the second optical surface 212 receive the light emitted by the light emitting module 1 and reduce the light emission angle; the first optical surface 211 is located on the side close to the light emitting module 1, the second optical surface 212 is located on the side away from the light emitting module 1, and the first circumferential surface 213 forms a circular surface around the central axis α.

[0042] In order to achieve the function of collecting blue light and reduce the emission angle of the light from the lamp bead 11, the first optical surface 211 is a curved surface with the middle part convex toward the direction away from the first reference plane β, and the second optical surface 212 is also a curved surface with the middle part convex toward the direction away from the first reference plane β; wherein the first reference plane β is the light-emitting surface where the light emitting module 1 emits light, and the first reference plane β is perpendicular to the central axis α.

[0043] Obviously, the curvature of the second optical surface 212 should be greater than that of the first optical surface 211 . In some embodiments, the curvature of the first optical surface 211 ranges from -100 to -1, and the curvature of the second optical surface 212 ranges from 1 to 100.

[0044] In addition, in order to improve the light collecting performance of the first adjustment module 2 for reducing the blue light, in some embodiments, the plano-convex lens 21 can be made of a material with a relatively large refractive index, thereby increasing the light collecting effect.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second adjustment module 3 includes a free-form surface lens 31, and the free-form surface lens 31 includes a third optical surface 311, a fourth optical surface 312, and a second peripheral surface 313 connected therebetween. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the third optical surface 311 and the fourth optical surface 312 are used to perform secondary reduction on the light that has been reduced once by the first adjustment module 2, and continue to adjust the light energy distribution of the blue light that has been reduced once, and form a light spot with controllable edges on the receiving surface.

[0046] Specifically, the third optical surface 311 is close to the first adjustment module 2, the fourth optical surface 312 faces away from the first adjustment module 2, and the second circumferential surface 313 surrounds the central axis α to form a circumferential surface; the third optical surface 311 has a rotary conical curved surface structure, the third optical surface 311 has a vertex located on the central axis α, the generatrix of the third optical surface 311 is a curve, and along the direction from the vertex to the second reference plane γ, the curvature of the middle part of the generatrix of the third optical surface 311 is greater than that of both sides, so that the third optical surface 311 forms a depression in the direction close to the second reference plane γ; the fourth optical surface 312 is a curved surface convex in the direction away from the second reference plane γ in the middle, and the degree of curvature of the fourth optical surface 312 is also greater than that of the third optical surface 311, so that after the light rays reduced once pass through the third optical surface 311 and the fourth optical surface 312, they can be emitted more gently and the edge of the light spot can be controlled.

[0047] Wherein, the second reference plane γ is a plane perpendicular to the central axis α and intersecting with the second circumferential surface 313, and along the direction of the central axis α, the second reference plane γ is located between the third optical surface 311 and the fourth optical surface 312.

[0048] The light ray adjusting device in the present application is applied to baby instruments. For example, when used for treating neonatal jaundice, in order to improve the adaptability of the light spot formed by the second adjustment module 3 to the treatment site required by the baby, the shape of the receiving surface may include but is not limited to unspecified shapes such as rectangles, ellipses, squares, circles, etc. The range of the light-emitting angle between the edge of the treatment light surface and the central axis α is 20° to 70°. At the same time, as Figure 4 shown, the shape of the light spot formed by the second adjustment module is an ellipse to adapt to the above different receiving surface shapes.

[0049] Therefore, in order to make the shape of the light spot formed by the second adjustment module be the Figure 4 ellipse shown, in some embodiments, the cross-sections of the third optical surface 311, the fourth optical surface 312 and the second circumferential surface 313 along the plane parallel to the second reference plane γ are all elliptical cross-sections, that is, the projections of the third optical surface 311, the fourth optical surface 312 and the second circumferential surface 313 on the second reference plane γ are all elliptical. At the same time, since the farther the distance from the lamp bead 11 is, the larger the light spot formed by the light rays in space is, therefore, the projection size of the fourth optical surface 312 on the second reference plane γ is greater than the projection size of the third optical surface 311 on the second reference plane γ, and the projection size of the third optical surface 311 on the second reference plane γ is greater than the projection size of the second optical surface 212 on the second reference plane γ.

[0050] In some embodiments, the fourth optical surface 312 further includes two transition curved surfaces 3121, and the two transition curved surfaces 3121 are located at the short-axis endpoints of the elliptical cross-section and extend towards the second reference plane γ.

[0051] It should also be noted that the light rays emitted from the plano-convex lens 21 need to pass through the free-form surface lens 31 to direct the light rays in each direction to the corresponding positions on the receiving surface. In this process, since the distances from different receiving positions to the lamp bead 11 are different, the energy at each position needs to be obtained through the energy calculation formula I = E * d2 (where I is the point light intensity, E is the point illuminance, and d is the irradiation distance). In order to improve the uniformity of the above light energy distribution and enhance the spot effect formed by the free-form surface lens 31, in some embodiments, the distance range between the first optical surface 211 and the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting module 1 is 2 mm to 8 mm, and the distance range between the third optical surface 311 and the second optical surface 212 is 3 mm to 10 mm. By controlling the above distances, the uniformity of the light energy distribution and the spot irradiance is improved, and the blue light spillage amount is reduced or even avoided, thereby improving the utilization rate of the blue light energy.

[0052] This application also provides an optical instrument, including the light ray adjusting device in any of the above embodiments.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of the various embodiments have their own emphases. For the parts not detailed in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0054] The above has introduced in detail a light ray adjusting device and an optical instrument provided by the embodiments of this application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the technical solution and its core idea of this application; those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
