It can be understood that the endoscope can be used to acquire images of the interior of the human body in medical analysis, and can also be used to acquire images of confined spaces in other fields such as industrial inspection.
[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 The endoscope 100 includes an imaging device 10, a first image sensor 20 and a magnifying device 30; the imaging device 10 is used to transmit images; the first image sensor 20 is arranged on the image side of the imaging device 10, and the first image sensor 20 is used to receive the light transmitted by the imaging device 10 and collect images; the magnifying device 30 includes a photoelectric conversion device 31, an image display 32, a second image sensor 34 and a magnifying lens group 33; the photoelectric conversion device 31 is electrically connected to the first image sensor 20 and the image display 32, the photoelectric conversion device 31 is used to convert the image collected by the first image sensor 20 into an electrical signal and transmit it to the image display 32, the image display 32 is used to receive the electrical signal transmitted by the photoelectric conversion device 31 and display the image; the image display 32 is arranged on the object side of the magnifying lens group 33, and the second image sensor 34 is arranged on the image side of the magnifying lens group 33, the magnifying lens group 33 is used to magnify the image displayed on the image display 32, and project the magnified image to the second image sensor 34.
[0054] The imaging device 10 is configured to transmit light reflected from an object 50 to be observed. Specifically, the imaging device 10 can capture and transmit an image of the object 50. For example, the imaging device 10 can include a lens assembly that can magnify the image of the object 50. For example, the optical path of the imaging device 10 is a bi-telecentric optical path.
[0055] The first image sensor 20 is disposed on the image side of the imaging device 10 and is configured to receive light emitted from the imaging device 10 to the image side, that is, to receive the image transmitted by the imaging device 10. The first image sensor 20 is configured to capture image pixels.
[0056] Optionally, the size of the first image sensor 20 is greater than or equal to 1 / 31 inch and less than or equal to 1 / 9 inch. For example, the size of the first image sensor 20 is 1 / 18 inch, the number of pixels is 160K, the pixel size is 1.75 μm, and the sensing area size is 714 μm × 707 μm. The first image sensor 20 is set to a smaller size to adapt to the imaging device 10 with a smaller diameter, making it easier for the imaging device 10 to enter a narrow space.
[0057] The photoelectric conversion device 31 can convert optical signals into electrical signals. The input end of the photoelectric conversion device 31 is electrically connected to the first image sensor 20, and the photoelectric conversion device 31 can convert the image captured by the first image sensor 20 into an electrical signal; the output end of the photoelectric conversion device 31 is electrically connected to the image display 32, and the photoelectric conversion device 31 can transmit the electrical signal with image information to the image display 32.
[0058] The photoelectric conversion device 31 and the first image sensor 20, as well as the photoelectric conversion device 31 and the image display 32, can be connected via signal transmission cables. For example, the photoelectric conversion device 31 can be an embedded system, including a first controller corresponding to the first image sensor 20, capable of performing image data acquisition and image processing. For example, the photoelectric conversion device 31 can also include a second controller capable of transmitting images processed by the first controller to the image display 32.
[0059] The image display 32 can display an image of the object to be observed 50 according to the electrical signal transmitted by the photoelectric conversion device 31 , and can emit the image to the magnifying lens group 33 in the form of light.
[0060] For example, the image display 32 includes a DIP (Digital Light Processing) display, an LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) display, a MiniLED (Sub-millimeter Light-Emitting Diode) display, or a MicroLED (Micro Light-Emitting Diode) display, and the size of the image display 32 is greater than or equal to 0.1 inches and less than or equal to 1.0 inches. Optionally, the pixel size of the image display 32 is greater than or equal to 1.5 μm and less than or equal to 3.5 μm, and the PPI (Pixels Per Inch) is greater than or equal to 2,000 and less than or equal to 20,000.
[0061] The magnifying lens group 33 can receive light emitted by the image display 32 and transmit the light to the image side of the magnifying lens group 33. That is, the magnifying lens group 33 can transmit the image displayed by the image display 32 to the second image sensor 34. The magnifying lens group 33 is a lens group that can magnify the image.
[0062] The second image sensor 34 is disposed on the image side of the magnifying lens group 33. The second image sensor 34 can receive light emitted by the magnifying lens group 33, that is, receive the image magnified by the magnifying lens group 33. The second image sensor 34 is used to collect image pixels.
[0063] For example, the resolution of the second image sensor 34 is greater than 25 million pixels. For example, the pixel resolution of the second image sensor 34 is 11276 (horizontal) × 9200 (vertical). Optionally, the pixel size of the second image sensor 34 is greater than or equal to 2 μm and less than or equal to 10 μm. The second image sensor 34 uses global shutter technology and adopts the CXP12 protocol (CoaXPress) or the GigE protocol (Gigabit Ethernet Vision), with an acquisition speed exceeding 20 fps (frames per second) at full resolution.
[0064] The working process of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the imaging device 10 transmits an image of the object 50 to be observed to the first image sensor 20. The first image sensor 20 receives the light transmitted by the imaging device 10 to capture the image of the object 50. The photoelectric conversion device 31 converts the image captured by the first image sensor 20 into an electrical signal and transmits the electrical signal to the image display 32. The image display 32 receives the electrical signal transmitted by the photoelectric conversion device 31 to display the image transmitted by the photoelectric conversion device 31. The image display 32 transmits the image in the form of light to the magnifying lens group 33. The magnifying lens group 33 receives the light emitted by the image display 32, amplifies the image displayed by the image display 32, and transmits it to the second image sensor 34. The second image sensor 34 captures the image transmitted by the magnifying lens group 33 toward the image side. The final image captured by the second image sensor 34 is transmitted to an external display screen, and the image can be observed.
[0065] The endoscope 100 generally needs to be used in a small space, so the imaging device 10 is relatively small. Due to the limitation of the size of the imaging device 10, the image transmitted by the imaging device 10 is usually difficult to be magnified multiple times, resulting in unclear images, and the image needs to be magnified for observation; the currently commonly used image magnification method is mainly electronic magnification, which uses software "interpolation" algorithm processing to expand the image pixels, resulting in a decrease in image clarity, a blurred image display effect, and distorted color images.
[0066] Accordingly, the imaging device 10 of this embodiment can initially magnify the image, and the photoelectric conversion device 31 can transmit the image to the image display 32, so that the magnifying lens group 33 can magnify the image again. Compared with the electronic magnification method, light is focused by a lens to form an enlarged image. The optical magnification by focusing light by the magnifying lens group 33 can well preserve the original information of the image and transmit it to the subsequent application, reduce the image distortion, improve the image clarity, and facilitate the observation of the magnified image. The magnifying lens group 33 can be connected to the imaging device 10 by a cable. The size of the magnifying lens group 33 does not affect the operator's operation of the magnifying lens group 33 by holding it. Therefore, the magnifying lens group 33 can be set to a larger diameter, which can achieve high resolution and large magnification of the image.
[0067] In some embodiments, the magnifying lens group 33 includes a bi-telecentric lens.
[0068] The object-side chief ray and the image-side chief ray of the bi-telecentric lens are parallel or nearly parallel to the optical axis of the bi-telecentric lens.
[0069] It can be understood that the magnifying lens group 33 can transmit the light vertically to the second image sensor 34 .
[0070] Traditional optical magnification methods are mostly microscope magnification. When the object surface is large, the microscope magnification system needs to be designed with a smaller numerical aperture to ensure the depth of field. However, a small numerical aperture will cause image blur and distortion, resulting in imaging distortion.
[0071] Accordingly, the imaging lens group 12 of the embodiment of the present application includes a double telecentric lens, which can achieve smooth magnification of the image based on the low-aberration, high-resolution image received by the second image sensor 34.
[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 15 to 17 The magnifying lens group 33 includes a first meniscus lens 331, a first doublet lens 332, a first aperture 333, a second doublet lens 334, a third doublet lens 335, a second meniscus lens 336, a third meniscus lens 337, a fourth meniscus lens 338, and a fifth meniscus lens 339, which are arranged in sequence from the image display 32 to the second image sensor 34. The first meniscus lens 331 is used to converge the light transmitted from the image display 32 and transmit the light to the first doublet lens 332. The first doublet lens 332 is used to converge the light transmitted from the first meniscus lens 331 and transmit the light to the second doublet lens 334. The second doublet lens 334 is used to converge the light transmitted from the first doublet lens 332 and transmit the light to the third doublet lens 335. The third doublet lens 335 is used to converge the light transmitted from the second doublet lens 334 and transmit the light to the second meniscus lens 336. 36 is used to diverge the light transmitted by the third doublet lens 335 and transmit the light to the third meniscus lens 337. The third meniscus lens 337 is used to diverge the light transmitted by the second meniscus lens 336 and transmit the light to the fourth meniscus lens 338. The fourth meniscus lens 338 is used to converge the light transmitted by the third meniscus lens 337 and transmit the light to the fifth meniscus lens 339. The fifth meniscus lens 339 is used to converge the light transmitted by the fourth meniscus lens 338 and form parallel light. The second image sensor 34 is used to receive the parallel light emitted from the fifth meniscus lens 339.
[0073] It can be understood that the fifth concave-convex lens 339 diverges the light transmitted by the fourth concave-convex lens 338 and forms parallel light which is approximately parallel to the optical axis of the magnifying lens group 33 , and the angle between the parallel light and the optical axis of the magnifying lens group 33 is within a small range.
[0074] Each of the first doublet lens 332 , the second doublet lens 334 , and the third doublet lens 335 includes two adjacent lenses, and the curvature radii of adjacent surfaces of the two adjacent lenses are equal and the air gap is extremely small.
[0075] Optionally, when the adjacent surface curvatures of adjacent lenses are equal and the air gap is extremely small, the adjacent lenses can be connected to form a cemented lens by gluing to eliminate red-blue color difference and off-axis aberrations. For example, the second meniscus lens 336 and the third meniscus lens 337 can be provided separately or connected by gluing to form a doublet. For example, the third meniscus lens 337 and the fourth meniscus lens 338 can be provided separately or connected by gluing to form a doublet.
[0076] Optionally, the parameter values of each lens in the magnifying lens group 33 can be found in Figure 16 It should be noted that Figure 16 "Surface" in the table is the serial number of each surface, arranged sequentially from the image side to the object side. Each doublet lens includes three "surfaces." "Radius of Curvature" is the spherical radius of each surface. The unit of "Radius of Curvature" is millimeters. If the surface is convex toward the image side, the "Radius of Curvature" is positive; if the surface is convex toward the object side, the "Radius of Curvature" is negative. "Infinity" means that the surface is flat. "Thickness" is the distance between the surface and the adjacent surface from the image side to the object side on the optical axis of the magnifying lens assembly 33. The unit of "Thickness" is millimeters. If the surface and the adjacent surface from the image side to the object side belong to the same lens, it indicates the thickness of the lens.
[0077] The image-facing surface of the image display 32 is flat, with a clear aperture of 6.411061 mm. The distance between the image display 32 and the first meniscus lens 331 is 5.851267 mm. The object-facing surface of the first meniscus lens 331 is convex toward the image side, with a radius of curvature of 39.93667 mm and a clear aperture of 15.23021 mm. The image-facing surface of the first meniscus lens 331 is convex toward the image side, with a radius of curvature of 12.17377 mm and a clear aperture of 18.78153 mm. The first meniscus lens 331 is made of H-ZLAF89L and has a thickness of 7.408964 mm. The distance between the first meniscus lens 331 and the first doublet lens 332 is 1.211929 mm.
[0078] For ease of description, the lens closest to the object side of the first doublet lens 332 is defined as the first object-side lens, and the lens closest to the image side of the first doublet lens 332 is defined as the first image-side lens. The first object-side lens has a surface facing the object side that is convex, a radius of curvature of 19.73364 mm, and a clear aperture of 17.2167 mm.

That is, a second turning optical axis 1117 passing through the centers of the first light emitting surface 1113 and the first reflective surface 1112 extends along the optical axis of the light guide 113.

[0102] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 The front-end imaging device 111 extends along the optical axis direction of the light guide 113, and the front-end imaging device 111 has a second light-incoming surface 1114 and a second light-outgoing surface 1115. The second light-incoming surface 1114 and the second light-outgoing surface 1115 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the front-end imaging device 111 along the optical axis direction of the light guide 113.
[0103] Optionally, the front-end imaging device 111 includes a cylindrical lens or the like.
[0104] A second light-emitting surface 1115 is disposed between the second light-incoming surface 1114 and the light guide 113. Both the second light-incoming surface 1114 and the second light-emitting surface 1115 are configured to transmit light reflected from the object 50. The normals of the second light-incoming surface 1114 and the second light-emitting surface 1115 are aligned with the axis of the light guide 113. Optionally, the second light-incoming surface 1114 and the second light-emitting surface 1115 may be arcuate surfaces, enabling the front-end imaging device 111 to both transmit and refract light.
[0105] Optionally, when using the endoscope 100 , the distance between the second light incident surface 1114 and the object to be observed 50 is controlled to be greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 30 mm.
[0106] Optionally, on the side of the second light-entry surface 1114 close to the object to be observed 50, the main light of each object field of view is almost parallel to the optical axis of the front-end imaging device 111, and the angle between the main light of the object field of view and the optical axis of the front-end imaging device 111 is greater than or equal to -0.2° and less than or equal to 0.2°.
[0107] The beneficial effect of the embodiment of the present application is: the second light input surface 1114 and the second light output surface 1115 are arranged along the optical axis direction of the light guide 113, which facilitates the acquisition of the image of the object to be observed 50 located on the side of the front-end imaging device 111 along the optical axis direction of the light guide 113, and facilitates the detection of non-tubular organs.
[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The first light incident surface 1111 is an arc surface or a plane, the first reflecting surface 1112 is an arc surface or a plane, and the first light emitting surface 1113 is an arc surface or a plane.
[0109] When the first light incident surface 1111 and the first light emitting surface 1113 are planes, they can transmit light; when the first reflecting surface 1112 is a plane, it can reflect parallel light to the same angle.
[0110] When the first light incident surface 1111 is an arc surface, it can transmit and refract light; when the first light incident surface 1111 protrudes in a direction close to the first reflecting surface 1112, the first light incident surface 1111 can make the light reflected by the object to be observed 50 diverge in a direction away from the first turning optical axis 1116; when the first light incident surface 1111 protrudes in a direction away from the first reflecting surface 1112, the first light incident surface 1111 can make the light reflected by the object to be observed 50 converge in a direction close to the first turning optical axis 1116.
[0111] When the first reflective surface 1112 is an arc-shaped surface, it can reflect parallel light to different angles. When the first reflective surface 1112 protrudes into the front imaging device 111, the first reflective surface 1112 can cause the reflected light to diverge in a direction away from the second turning optical axis 1117. When the first reflective surface 1112 protrudes outward from the front imaging device 111, the first reflective surface 1112 can cause the reflected light to converge in a direction close to the second turning optical axis 1117. Optionally, the first reflective surface 1112 is a plane, and the angle between the normal of the first reflective surface 1112 and the optical axis of the light guide 113 is 45°.
[0112] When the first light emitting surface 1113 is a circular arc surface, it can transmit and refract light; when the first light emitting surface 1113 protrudes in a direction close to the first reflecting surface 1112, the first light emitting surface 1113 can make the light reflected by the first reflecting surface 1112 diverge in a direction away from the second turning optical axis 1117; when the first light emitting surface 1113 protrudes in a direction away from the first reflecting surface 1112, the first light emitting surface 1113 can make the light reflected by the first reflecting surface 1112 converge in a direction close to the second turning optical axis 1117.
[0113] According to the convergence or divergence of the light beam reflected by the object to be observed 50 toward the first light incident surface 1111, the first light incident surface 1111, the first reflecting surface 1112 and the first light emitting surface 1113 are set to different shapes, so that the light is converged or diverged to form a light beam that tends to be consistent with the optical axis direction of the light guide 113.
[0114] For examples, please refer to Figure 6When light reflected from the object 50 toward the first light-incoming surface 1111 gradually diverges, the first light-incoming surface 1111 is configured as a circular arc surface convex away from the first reflective surface 1112, the first reflective surface 1112 is configured as a circular arc surface convex outward from the front imaging device 111, and the first light-emitting surface 1113 is configured as a circular arc surface convex toward the first reflective surface 1112. Light reflected from the object 50, after passing through the first light-incoming surface 1111, converges toward the first turning optical axis 1116. Then, after reflecting from the first reflective surface 1112, the light converges again toward the second turning optical axis 1117. The light then passes through the first light-emitting surface 1113 and diverges away from the second turning optical axis 1117. Within the light guide 113, the light tends to align with the optical axis of the light guide 113.
[0115] For example, when light reflected from the object 50 toward the first light-incoming surface 1111 gradually converges, the first light-incoming surface 1111 is configured as an arcuate surface convex toward the first reflective surface 1112, the first reflective surface 1112 is configured as an arcuate surface convex toward the front imaging device 111, and the first light-emitting surface 1113 is configured as an arcuate surface convex away from the first reflective surface 1112. The light reflected from the object 50, after passing through the first light-incoming surface 1111, diverges in a direction away from the first turning optical axis 1116. The light refracted from the first light-incoming surface 1111 then reflects from the first reflective surface 1112 and diverges in a direction away from the second turning optical axis 1117. The light reflected from the first reflective surface 1112 then passes through the first light-emitting surface 1113 and diverges in a direction away from the second turning optical axis 1117. The light refracted from the first light-emitting surface 1113, within the light guide 113, tends to align with the optical axis of the light guide 113.
[0116] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are as follows: the first light-incoming surface 1111, the first reflecting surface 1112 and the first light-emitting surface 1113 are set as planes, which facilitates directly reflecting the parallel light beam reflected by the object to be observed 50 into a light beam that is nearly parallel to the axis of the light guide 113; setting the first light-incoming surface 1111, the first reflecting surface 1112 and the first light-emitting surface 1113 as arc surfaces can converge the divergent light beam reflected by the object to be observed 50, or diverge the convergent light beam reflected by the object to be observed 50, and can adjust a specific light beam to a light beam that is nearly parallel to the axial direction of the light guide 113, can increase the number of light rays transmitted from the light guide 113 to the imaging lens group 12, can increase the field of view angle, and increase the telecentricity of the optical path.
[0117] In some embodiments, optical glue is disposed between the front imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 , and the thickness of the optical glue ranges from 5 um to 10 um.
[0118] It is understood that the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 are spaced apart, and optical glue is filled between the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113. The thickness range of the optical glue is the distance between the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113. The front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 are connected by optical glue. Optionally, optical glue is filled between the first light-emitting surface 1113 and the light guide 113, or between the second light-emitting surface 1115 and the light guide 113. Optionally, the thickness of the optical glue can be 5 μm, 8 μm, or 10 μm.
[0119] The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the present application are: using optical glue to conveniently connect the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 together, and the optical glue is light-transmissive, which facilitates the transmission of light between the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113.
[0120] In some embodiments, the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 are an integrated structure.
[0121] It can be understood that there is no light-transmitting surface between the front-end imaging device 111 and the light-guiding member 113 , and the front-end imaging device 111 does not include the first light-emitting surface 1113 .
[0122] Optionally, the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide member 113 are integrally formed using a process such as injection molding.
[0123] The beneficial effects of the embodiment of the present application are as follows: the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 are integrally formed, and there is no need to connect the front-end imaging device 111 and the light guide 113 , which makes manufacturing more convenient.

[0127] Optionally, the first convex lens 122 , the first concave lens 123 , the second concave lens 124 and the second convex lens 125 include plastic lenses or glass lenses.
[0128] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are as follows: the imaging lens group 12 adopts the above-mentioned lens combination to enable the imaging device 10 to have an image-side telecentric optical path, so that the angle between the main light of each image-side field of view between the second convex lens 125 and the first image sensor 20 and close to the first image sensor 20 and the optical axis of the imaging lens group 12 is greater than or equal to -0.2° and less than or equal to 0.2°, so that the main light of the image-side field of view is almost parallel to the optical axis of the imaging lens group 12, and the image can be smoothly magnified.

[0131] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present application are as follows: the first convex lens 122 and the second convex lens 125 of the imaging lens group 12 adopt a lower refractive index, and the first concave lens 123 and the second concave lens 124 adopt a higher refractive index. The combination of high refractive index and low refractive index can eliminate red-blue color difference and off-axis aberration.
[0132] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The imaging lens group 12 further includes a protective lens 121 and an infrared filter 126 . The protective lens 121 is arranged on a side of the first convex lens 122 away from the first concave lens 123 ; the infrared filter 126 is arranged between the second convex lens 125 and the first image sensor 20 .
