[0022] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will provide a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments of the present invention and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Although the present invention may include various embodiments in different forms, for some preferred embodiments described in detail in the specification and shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the contents disclosed in the present invention should be regarded as schematic illustrations of the principles of the present invention, and these shown embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The technical solutions provided by various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] refer to Figures 1 to 4 The integrated sperm analysis device according to the present invention includes a housing 1, which can be generally rectangular or cylindrical in shape. An optical assembly 3 for capturing sperm images is disposed within the housing 1, and a light source assembly 4 for providing light is disposed below the optical assembly. The optical assembly 3 transmits the captured sperm image data to a cloud server via wired or wireless means. The cloud server analyzes various sperm parameters and transmits the data to a smart terminal for display of the sperm images and analysis results.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the outer surface of the housing 1 has a slot 11 for inserting a counting plate containing semen. In other embodiments of the present application, the outer surface of the housing 1 is provided with a data transmission and / or power supply interface 12, wherein the connection to the smart terminal and the power supply can use the same interface, or the smart terminal and the power supply can use different interfaces. The data transmission interface can be one of Lightning, Micro-USB, and Type-C interfaces.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 The optical assembly 3 includes a focusing module 31 and an image acquisition module 32. The focusing module 31 is used to adjust the focal length of the image acquisition module 32, or in other words, to adjust the distance between the image acquisition module 32 and the counting plate containing the semen. The image acquisition module 32 is disposed below the focusing module 31 and is used to capture images of the sperm sample. The image acquisition module 32 may be composed of an optical path, a camera, and a lens. According to embodiments of the present application, the focusing module 31 can adjust the focal length of the image acquisition module 32 through different connection relationships and structures, which are described below.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the focusing module 31 includes: a focusing knob 317, a first screw hole column 318, a second screw hole column 319, a third screw hole column 320, and a plurality of screws. The first screw hole column 318, the second screw hole column 319, and the third screw hole column 320 are arranged at intervals on the inner wall of the housing 5, and the second screw hole column 319 is located between the first screw hole column 318 and the third screw hole column 320. One end of the plurality of screws is fixedly connected to the focusing knob 317, and the other ends of the plurality of screws are respectively connected to the first screw hole column 318, the second screw hole column 319, and the third screw hole column 320. The first screw hole column 318 and the third screw hole column 320 have the same length, while the second screw hole column 319 is longer than the first screw hole column 318 and the third screw hole column 320.

[0029] The focusing knob 317 is fixedly connected to the image acquisition module 32 and can extend outside the housing 5 or be located on the surface of the housing 5 for easier operation. The focusing knob 317 has a rotation angle of 0 to 360 degrees. Turning the focusing knob 317 clockwise continuously reduces the distance between the image acquisition module 32 and the counting plate containing semen, increasing the focal length and making the image clearer. Because the length of the second screw hole column 319 is greater than the length of the first screw hole column 318 and the third screw hole column 320, when the second screw hole column 319 contacts the corresponding screw, the knob cannot be rotated further, allowing the first screw hole column 318 and the third screw hole column 320 to pass through their corresponding screws, and the focusing range has reached its maximum. Turning the knob counterclockwise increases the distance between the image acquisition module 32 and the counting plate containing semen, reducing the focal length and making the image increasingly blurred. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the shape of the shell 5 is cylindrical, and in other embodiments it may also be a rectangular parallelepiped, which does not constitute a limitation to the present application.

[0030] refer to Figure 5In other embodiments of the present application, the focusing module 31 may specifically include a focusing knob 311, a focusing bracket 312, a cam 313, a spring 315 and a base 316. The base 316 is fixedly connected to the light source assembly 4, the focusing bracket 312 is connected to the base 316, and the spring 315 is elastically connected to the cam 313 and the base 316 respectively. The focusing knob 311 extends out of the housing 5 and is rotatably connected to the cam 313. The cam 313 may be a cam assembly, which may include two meshing cams, and the image acquisition module 32 is arranged in a slot defined by the cam or the cam assembly 313. According to an embodiment of the present application, the focusing knob 311 may extend out of the housing (1, 5) or be located on the surface of the housing 5. It is used to control the rotation of the two cams, and the two cams drive the camera to move up and down, thereby making the focus more precise and the image clearer. A power interface may also be provided on the base 316, which can be connected to an external power supply to power the optical assembly 3, the light source assembly 4 and other devices that require power.

[0031] refer to Figure 6 , the light source assembly 4 is arranged below the optical assembly 3, and the light source assembly 4 may specifically include: a lens 41, a light path 42, a light homogenizer 43, a light source bracket 44, and a light source circuit board 45. The lens 41 and the light homogenizer 43 are installed on the light path 42, and the light path 42 with the lens 41 and the light homogenizer 43 installed is installed in the light source bracket 44. One side of the light source bracket 44 is fixedly connected to the light source circuit board 45, and the other side of the light source bracket 44 is fixedly connected to the panel housing 5. In this embodiment, the light source assembly 4 provides light source for imaging of the optical assembly 3, so that the sperm is displayed clearly and with higher contrast. In this embodiment of the present application, the lens 41, the light path 42, the light homogenizer 43 and the image acquisition module 32 share a common optical axis, and the light emitted by the light source assembly 4 is provided to the image acquisition module 32 for use.
