Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of microscope supporting equipment, in particular to an additional polarizing plate mechanism for a slit lamp microscope. Background Art

[0002] The slit lamp microscope is an essential piece of clinical ophthalmic examination equipment, consisting of a light source illumination system and a binocular microscope system. The light source illumination system uses a halogen or LED light source that is converged and reflected by a specific optical system and then projected onto the subject's eye. By adjusting the angle, width, and length of the light, different parts of the eye can be displayed in different lighting methods. However, the conventional light source equipped with a traditional slit lamp microscope projects reflected light onto the eye, which can interfere with imaging. This is especially true when observing eyelid lesions. Due to the unique skin texture, a large amount of reflected light is generated, which in turn interferes with observation of the eyelid skin and eyelid margin. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The fixing component and the polarizer are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method.

[0006] The fixing component and the microscope body are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method.

[0007] The fixed component is a hinge structure, and the hinge is a damping hinge.

[0008] The fixing component and the polarizer are installed in a plug-in manner.

[0009] The fixing component is a frame structure, including a slide frame, the polarizer is inserted into the slide frame, and a folded angle fixing plate is provided on the upper part of the slide frame, which positions the fixing component and the slit lamp microscope.

[0011] The polarizer of the analyzer is circular or square.

[0012] The polarizing plate of the polarizing part is rectangular.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] The above-mentioned structure of the utility model facilitates the installation and positioning of the two polarizers. When the polarizers are removed, they are in the non-operating position without affecting the normal optical path, allowing for rapid switching between conventional slit lamp microscopy and polarized light microscopy. Furthermore, the new structure is highly adaptable and can meet the clinical modification needs of slit lamps from different manufacturers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a slit lamp microscope with an additional polarizer mechanism includes a polarizer 1 and a polarizer 2. The polarizer 2 is detachably mounted on a reflecting mirror or prism projected by the slit lamp light source, and the analyzer 1 is detachably mounted on the end lens of the slit lamp objective. The analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are both composed of a polarizer 3 and a fixing component 4, and the polarizer 3 and the fixing component 4 are detachably connected. The polarization directions of the polarizer 3 of the analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are orthogonal.

[0030] The polarizing plate 3 of the analyzing section 1 is circular or square, and the polarizing plate 3 of the polarizing section 2 is rectangular.

[0031] The fixing component 4 and the polarizer 3 are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method. The fixing component 4 and the microscope body are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method.

[0032] The fixing member 4 is a hinge structure, preferably a damping hinge. When the polarizer 3 is drooped and positioned at the microscope position, the analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are in the working position. When the polarizer 3 is flipped up and away from the microscope position, the analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are in the non-working position.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 7-13 As shown, a slit lamp microscope with an additional polarizer mechanism includes an analyzer 1 and a polarizer 2. The polarizer 2 is detachably mounted on a reflective mirror or prism projected by the slit lamp light source, and the analyzer 1 is detachably mounted on the end lens of the slit lamp objective. Both the analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are composed of a polarizer 3 and a fixing component 4, which are detachably connected to each other. The polarization directions of the polarizer 3 of the analyzer 1 and the polarizer 2 are orthogonal. The polarizer 3 of the analyzer 1 is circular or square, while the polarizer 3 of the polarizer 2 is rectangular.

[0035] The polarizing plate 3 of the analyzing section 1 is circular or square, and the polarizing plate 3 of the polarizing section 2 is rectangular.

[0036] The fixing component 4 and the polarizer 3 are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method. The fixing component 4 and the microscope body are positioned by a split magnetic attraction method or an adhesive method.

[0037] Among them, the fixed component 4 of the polarization analyzer 1 is as follows Figure 7-9 As shown, the fixing component 4 and the polarizer 3 are installed in a plug-in manner. The fixing component 4 is a frame structure, including a slide frame 4-1, into which the polarizer 3 is inserted. The upper portion of the slide frame 4-1 is provided with an angled fixing plate 4-2, which is used to position the fixing component 4 and the slit lamp microscope.

[0038] A lever structure 4-3 is provided on the fixed component 4, and a horizontal lever groove 3-1 is provided on the upper part of the polarizer 3; the lever structure 4-3 includes a handle part 4-3-1 and a toggle part 4-3-2, and the handle part 4-3-1 and one end of the toggle part 4-3-2 are fixedly connected, and the connection end is hinged to the slide groove frame 4-1 at the same time, and the other end of the toggle part 4-3-2 is arranged in the lever groove 3-1 and is slidably connected to the lever groove 3-1.

[0039] When the polarizer 3 is located at the center of the slide frame 4-1, the polarizer 3 corresponds to the position of the microscope, and the analyzer 1 is in the working position; when the handle 4-3-1 is rotated upward or downward, the toggle part 4-3-2 is subjected to force, which drives the polarizer 3 to move upward or downward and leave the center of the slide frame 4-1. The polarizer 3 is offset from the position of the microscope, and the analyzer 1 is in the non-working position.

[0040] Among them, the fixing component 4 of the polarizing part is as follows Figure 10-12 As shown, the fixing component 4 and the polarizer 3 are installed in a plug-in manner.

The lower part of the polarizer 3 is inserted into the slide rod 4-4, and the slide rod 4-4 is installed in the slide frame 4-1. Pulling down the slide rod 4-4 drives the polarizer 3 up or down, thereby driving the polarizing part 2 to be in the working position or the non-working position.
