[0031] The utility model drives the transmission rod 19 to rotate through the power component inside the base 10, and the transmission rod 19 is screwed to the hollow rod 20. The hollow rod 20 slides up and down inside the column 11, and the hollow rod 20 drives the top arm support 13 to move up and down to complete the up and down adjustment; an angle adjustment component is provided between the support plate 24 and the arm support 13, and the angle adjustment device changes the inclination of the arm support 13 to achieve the angle of the arm support 13, thereby realizing the adjustment of the hand support during ophthalmic operations.

[0033] Figure 2As shown in the figure, the transmission rod 19 is screwed into the hollow rod 20, and a sliding rod 28 is set on the outer periphery of the hollow rod 20. The sliding rod 28 is set along the axis. The sliding rod 28 slides up and down in the limiting groove 29 to realize the limiting function. When the transmission rod 19 rotates, the hollow rod 20 is driven to move up and down.

[0034] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes arc plates 15 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 24, and the arc plates 15 extend outward along the arc edges to form skirts, and the skirts are provided with arc grooves 21; a sliding frame 14 is provided above the arc plate 15, and arc grooves are provided on both sides of the sliding frame 14 corresponding to the arc plate 15, and a limiting unit is slidably installed between the grooves and the arc grooves 21; a worm mechanism is fixed to the top of the support plate 24, and the worm mechanism drives the sliding frame 14 to slide on the arc plate 15.

[0040] Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in the figure, both ends of the worm 26 are fixedly connected to the sliding frame 14 through bearings, and a second motor 27 is fixed on the outer side of the sliding frame 14. The output end of the second motor 27 is transmission-connected to the end of the worm 26; when the second motor 27 rotates, it drives the worm 26 to rotate on the sliding frame 14, and the worm 26 engages the half worm gear 25. Since the half worm gear 25 is fixed, the worm 26 drives the sliding frame 14 to rotate along the arc 15 around the arc plate.

[0041] Furthermore, the arm support 13 is an arc-shaped structure with convex sides and concave middle, and a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the arm support 13.

[0042] Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the arm support 13 is an arc-shaped structure with a concave middle part, arranged according to the curve of the forearm, and has ventilation holes, which are beneficial for the ventilation of the doctor's arm, enhance blood circulation, and reduce the probability of hand numbness.

[0043] Furthermore, the armrest 13 is made of silicone.

[0044] The armrest 13 is made of silica gel, which has the function of vibration reduction and buffering. The silica gel has a certain flexibility and can enhance the comfort of use.

[0045] Furthermore, the base 10 is made of lead.

[0046] The base 10 is made of lead, and the stability of the base 10 is ensured by utilizing the physical property of lead having a high density.

[0047] Furthermore, a power supply is installed inside the base 10 .

[0048] A power supply is installed inside the base 10 and is electrically connected to the first motor 16 and the second motor 27 through a guide. The power supply and the first motor 16 and the second motor 27 are both forward and reverse motors, and the power supply and the first motor 16 and the second motor 27 are all existing technologies.

[0049] Furthermore, an adjustment switch 12 is installed on the base 10 .

[0050] The regulating switch 12 controls the first motor 16 and the second motor 27 respectively, and the direction of rotation is adjusted by toggling in different directions.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] 1. Start the first motor 16 to drive the bevel gear 17. The bevel gear 17 engages with the transmission bevel gear 18, driving the transmission rod 19 to rotate. The transmission rod 19 is externally screwed to the hollow rod 20 (the column 11 radially limits the outer periphery of the hollow rod 20), so that the hollow rod 20 slides up and down inside the column 11. The hollow rod 20 drives the top arm support 13 to move up and down, completing the up and down adjustment;

[0053] 2. Start the second motor 27 to drive the worm 26, which engages the half worm gear 25. Since the half worm gear 25, the support plate 24 and the curved plate 15 are fixedly connected, the half worm gear 25 drives the sliding frame 14 to move along the arc on the curved plate 15 to adjust the tilt angle.

[0054] The thread lifting setting and the worm mechanism setting both have a self-locking function to avoid non-subjective position changes of the support during operation, ensuring the stability of the hand support during ophthalmic operations.

[0055] The above embodiments are used to illustrate the technical concept of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, which does not mean that the present invention must rely on the above embodiments to be implemented. Those skilled in the art should understand that any improvements to the present invention fall within the scope of protection and disclosure of the present invention.
