Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fundus endoscope technology, and in particular to a small fundus imaging device. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of maternal and infant health, gestational hypertension (GEHD) has always been a major challenge affecting the safety of pregnant women and fetuses. GEHD can not only cause pregnant women to experience a series of serious symptoms such as high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema, but it can also lead to life-threatening complications such as abnormal liver function, liver rupture, hypertensive heart disease, and pulmonary edema. For the fetus, GEHD can lead to adverse consequences such as intrauterine growth restriction, premature birth, and low birth weight, and may even induce emergencies such as eclampsia, posing a significant threat to the safety of both mother and child.
[0003] Currently, the detection of preeclampsia mainly relies on methods such as ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and 24-hour urine protein quantification. However, these methods have limitations such as complex operation and non-quantitative data, making it difficult to meet the immediate needs of early screening and disease management. Therefore, exploring a more convenient, accurate, and non-invasive detection method is of great significance for improving the early diagnosis rate of preeclampsia and ensuring maternal and infant safety.
[0004] The ratio of retinal vessel diameter to retinal vessel diameter and other fundus changes, as important indicators reflecting the state of blood circulation and systemic microvascular disease, have shown great potential in the early diagnosis of preeclampsia in recent years. Fundus examination can not only quickly reflect the patient's basic condition, but also has the advantages of being rapid, non-invasive, and repeatable, making it an emerging direction for early screening and management of preeclampsia.
[0005] However, traditional fundus imaging equipment often suffers from problems such as bulky size, high cost, and complex operation, requiring manual assistance from specialized ophthalmologists who analyze data based on their ophthalmological knowledge. This significantly limits its potential for large-scale application in obstetrics. The scarcity of specialized ophthalmologists, particularly in primary healthcare institutions and remote areas, further underscores the urgency of this issue.
[0006] Traditional fundusoscopes include three types, each with different fields of view, subjectivity, comfort, and technical requirements:
[0007] 1. Direct fundus camera
[0008] Limited field of view: Direct ophthalmoscopy has a relatively small field of view, which may not be able to fully cover the fundus area, leading to the omission of some lesions and increasing the risk of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
[0009] Highly subjective: The results of direct fundus examination rely on the doctor's direct observation and experience, which involves a certain degree of subjectivity and uncertainty, and may affect the accuracy of diagnosis.
[0010] Discomfort: During the examination, doctors and patients need to be in close contact, which may make doctors feel tired, while patients may also feel nervous and uncomfortable.
[0011] High technical threshold: Using a direct ophthalmoscope requires certain operating skills and experience, which is difficult for non-professional doctors or patients to operate on their own.
[0012] 2. Indirect ophthalmoscopy
[0013] Image inversion: The image seen by indirect ophthalmoscope is inverted, which requires training to master, increasing the difficulty of use and the learning cost.
[0014] Low image magnification: Indirect ophthalmoscopes have relatively low image magnification, which limits their ability to distinguish small lesions and may affect the accuracy of diagnosis.
[0015] Bulky equipment: Compared to portable equipment, indirect ophthalmoscopes may be bulky and inconvenient to use in many situations, especially in homes or primary healthcare facilities.
[0016] Complex operation: Although indirect ophthalmoscopy plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the posterior segment of the eye, its operation is relatively complex and requires professional doctors to operate and interpret it.
[0017] 3. Fundus camera
[0018] High equipment price: Fundus cameras are usually expensive, which may be difficult for primary healthcare institutions or patients with poor economic conditions to afford.
[0019] High skill requirements: Using a fundus camera requires certain operating skills and experience, which may be difficult for non-professionals to master.
[0020] Data interpretation relies on professional doctors: Images taken by fundus cameras need to be interpreted and analyzed by professional doctors, which increases the complexity and time cost of diagnosis.
[0021] High equipment maintenance costs: As a precision medical device, the fundus camera requires regular maintenance and calibration to ensure its accuracy and stability, which increases the equipment's maintenance costs.
[0022] Therefore, designing a small, user-friendly fundus imaging device has become a topic worthy of in-depth exploration. Meanwhile, existing imaging devices all have certain shortcomings in the early screening and management of preeclampsia. To better meet clinical needs, future research should focus on developing more portable, easy-to-operate, affordable, and diagnostically accurate fundus imaging devices to improve the early diagnosis rate of preeclampsia and enhance maternal and infant safety.

[0092] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the eyelid 3 includes a pair of eyelid pieces 31, symmetrically installed in the upper inner cylinder 21; a pair of eye contact pads 32, each detachably connected to its corresponding eyelid piece 31; and a face contact pad 33, which has an opening 331 for the pair of eyelid pieces 31 to pass through. The pad is fitted over the pair of eyelid pieces 31 through the opening 331 and connected to the upper inner cylinder 21. When in motion, the pair of eyelid pieces 31 move away from or closer to each other within the range of the opening 331 (see [reference]). Figure 1 It can be known that...
[0093] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the rotation adjustment mechanism 5 is disposed in the upper inner cylinder 21 and is used to control the movement of a pair of eyelid pieces 31 moving away from or closer to each other. It includes a rotating ring 51, which is sleeved on the outside of the upper inner cylinder 21; a rotating base 52, which is connected to the inside of the upper inner cylinder 21 and has one end passing through the upper inner cylinder 21 and connected to the rotating ring 51; a base limiting member 53, which is connected to the inside of the upper inner cylinder 21 and contacts the surface of the rotating base 52; and a protruding limiting member 54, which is connected to the inside of the upper inner cylinder 21 and contacts the surface of the base limiting member 53.

[0098] This embodiment also provides a method of using a small fundus imaging device according to any one of the above claims, wherein the method of use is as follows:
[0099] In use, the inner cylinder 2 is pulled out from the outer cylinder 1 and rotated. The inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 1 are fixed by the pull-and-turn connecting mechanism 8. The pair of eyelid pieces 31 are aligned with the upper and lower eyelids of one of the user's eyes, respectively. By rotating the rotating ring 51, the pair of eyelid pieces 31 are gradually moved away from each other, opening the user's upper and lower eyelids to a suitable position and exposing the eyeball. The user's other eye completes the eye position guidance under the guidance of the mobile interactive game. The LED light 53 provides the light source, and the camera 52 records the user's eye movements and sends the captured data to the background processor for data analysis to obtain an assessment of the fundus health. Finally, after the game ends, the interaction and health status information is summarized on the mobile phone interface.
[0100] The following description will further illustrate the characteristics and functions of this utility model.
[0101] In this embodiment, the small fundus imaging device (hereinafter referred to as the product) allows the user to assemble the device, align it with the eye to be tested, and fix the eye by rotating the sliding component with one hand. The user then opens the mini-program to enter the interactive interface, selects the eye to be tested, performs position calibration, and the eye not being tested focuses on the app interface for eye position guidance interaction.
[0102] Users can remove and wear disposable masks and replace disposable eye pads (in cases of multiple users). Pick up the product, stretch the inner cylinder 2, and rotate it to the right (or left) to lock it in place, completing the assembly of the ophthalmoscope 6. Place the side of the product with the silicone pads (i.e., the two eyelid pieces 31) on the eye being examined, with the two opening and closing pads (i.e., eye contact pads 32, which can be made of silicone or other soft, skin-friendly materials) resting against the upper and lower eyelids. Rotate the rotating ring 51 on the product with one hand; the two opening and closing structures move downwards (upwards), opening the eyelids, ready for imaging.
[0103] The other eye (the unexamined eye) completes eye positioning guidance under the guidance of a mobile interactive game (see the user guide on the APP for details). During this process, the smart fundus mirror's camera 42 automatically captures images and uploads them to the system for image analysis and fundus health assessment. Finally, after the game ends, the interaction and health status information is summarized on the feedback interface.
[0104] The mobile interactive game is used in conjunction with the product to guide eye movement and capture images. Based on the principle of conjugate eye movement (left and right eyes move in the same direction), the app uses small stars to guide the idle eye to capture a large star. While the large star disappears, the device captures an image of the tested eye. The device then sends eye-position interaction commands to the mini-program based on the detected image, guiding changes in the eye's interactive position within the program. The eye status of the interactive program NPC (Maisi) indicates to the user whether the capture was successful.
[0105] Place the product on the eye being tested - select the eye to be tested within the mini-program - adjust the human-machine position - start the game - the untested eye controls the NPC to catch stars by rotating the eyeball - the NPC switches between different states to provide real-time feedback on the capture situation, and the end page informs the user of the current eye health status and the ratio of the diameter of the arteries and veins in the fundus, while generating a periodic change graph to help the user understand the phased changes in eye health. If an abnormal ratio is detected, the mini-program will automatically pop up medical advice.
[0106] In summary, this utility model's miniature fundus imaging device is compact and easy to carry, with a simple structure and convenient operation. It only requires pulling apart and rotating the outer and inner tubes to fix them in place, then using a rotating ring to separate the user's eyelids and expose the eyeball. Combined with interactive games on a mobile phone or other mobile device, fundus imaging can be achieved. Data analysis yields the detection results, allowing users to perform fundus examinations themselves without visiting medical institutions, significantly improving early diagnosis rates and maternal and infant safety. Because the construction of this miniature fundus imaging device is less complex than traditional fundus endoscopes, its price is far lower, making it more affordable, and it offers high diagnostic accuracy.
[0107] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
