[0038] In the embodiment, the coupling main body 10 can include two or more housings and a lens 15 combination arranged in the housings, and a plurality of inner housings can be arranged inside or not, which is not limited here. The number of lenses 15 can be one, two or more, and some or all of the lenses 15 can be connected to each other or independently arranged, and generally a lens 15 combination with different functions is selected to realize the coupling function, which can be a collimator, a converging lens, etc., which is not limited here. In addition, other optical devices can be arranged inside the coupler 100, which can be arranged according to the specific coupling scene.

[0039] It can be understood that the utility model improves the structure of the coupler 100, which can avoid that the plug 210 of the optical fiber catheter 200 is not inserted in place, helps to improve the accuracy of laser output energy, and greatly improves the convenience of operation.

[0040] To further provide the convenience of operation, the operator can intuitively know whether the coupler 100 and the plug 210 of the optical fiber catheter 200 are connected in place, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an embodiment, the position sensor 20 can include a detection circuit and at least one indicator lamp electrically connected with the detection circuit, and the indicator lamp is used for indicating whether the plug 210 of the optical fiber catheter 200 is inserted in place.

[0041] In the embodiment, referring to Figures 3 to 5 , the coupling main body 10 includes a base 11, an upper cover 12 and a fixing block 13, the upper cover 12 is covered on the base 11 and surrounds the base 11 to form the coupling cavity 10a, and the fixing block 13 is arranged on the base 11 and surrounds the base 11 to form the output socket 10c. In this way, the internal devices such as the lens 15 can be conveniently assembled, and various cavity structures can be conveniently formed.

[0042] The fixing block 13 is used for fixing a tablet spring, and after the plug 210 is inserted, the tablet spring presses the plug 210, which can further improve the reliability of the connection.

[0043] Referring mainly to Figure 5The coupling body 10 can further comprise a guide seat 14 provided at the output socket 10c, the guide seat 14 is provided with a guide channel 14a in communication with the output socket 10c, and the position sensor 20 is arranged between the guide seat 14 and the side surface of the base 11 and the upper cover 12. Such arrangement not only improves the smoothness of the plug 210 insertion, but also effectively improves the reliability of the position sensor 20 installation.

[0044] In the embodiment, the position sensor 20 is provided with a receiving port, and the position sensor 20 is provided with two and the two position sensors 20 are respectively clamped on both sides of the output socket 10c through the respective receiving ports. The position sensor 20 can be selected to have a transmitter and a receiver, and the transmitter and the receiver are respectively located on both sides of the receiving port. Of course, in some other embodiments, other types of position sensors 20 can also be used, which are not limited here.

[0045] Further, referring to Figures 5 to 8 The base 11 and the fixed block 13 can be provided with position corresponding through holes 11a, and the position of one group of through holes 11a is suitable for corresponding to the position of the notch 210a on the plug 210 when the plug 210 is inserted into the position, so that the light emitted by the transmitter of the position sensor 20 passes through and is received by the receiver.

[0046] Specifically, the embodiment is provided with two position sensors 20, two indicator lights and one notch 210a; it can be configured that when one indicator light is on and the other is off, the plug 210 and the coupler 100 are in the state of being inserted into the position; when both indicator lights are on, the plug 210 is not inserted; and when both indicator lights are off, the plug 210 is not inserted into the position.

[0047] In the first case, when one indicator light is on and the other is off, it indicates that the light emitted by the transmitter of one of the position sensors 20 can be received by the receiver through the notch 210a on the inserted plug 210, and the indicator light of the position sensor 20 is in the on state, and since only one notch 210a is provided, the light emitted by the transmitter of the other position sensor 20 is blocked by the plug 210 inserted into the position and cannot be received by the receiver, and the indicator light of the position sensor 20 is in the off state, at this time the plug 210 and the coupler 100 are in the state of being inserted into the position.

[0048] In the second case, when both indicator lights are on, it indicates that the light emitted by the transmitter of the two position sensors 20 is received by the corresponding receiver, and the place in the output socket 10c is not blocked by the plug 210, at this time the plug 210 is not inserted (including the case that only a part of the plug 210 is inserted, in this case the plug 210 is very loose, and the plug 210 will be easily separated out).

[0049] The third case is that both of the two indicator lights are off, indicating that the light emitted by the emitter of the two position sensors 20 is not received by the corresponding receiver, the gap 210a of the plug 210 is not in the position corresponding to the through hole 11a, and the position in the output socket 10c is blocked by the plug 210, at this time, the plug 210 is not inserted in place.

[0050] Of course, in some other embodiments, two or more gaps 210a and through holes 11a can be combined, and more or fewer position sensors 20 can also be provided, which are not limited here.

[0051] It is not difficult to understand that the position sensor 20 is arranged to detect whether the plug 210 on the fiber optic conduit 200 is inserted in place, which can greatly ensure the reliability of the connection between the coupler 100 and the fiber optic conduit 200, and can ensure the stability and accuracy of the laser output energy.

[0053] In the embodiment, the wireless communication module 30 can adopt at least one of an RF module, a Bluetooth module, a WIFI module, and a 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G module, which is not limited here.

[0054] The utility model also proposes a kind of medical equipment, referring to Figure 1 And Figure 2 The medical equipment includes light source, coupler and fiber optic conduit, the light source is laser generator fixed on mounting plate, the input interface 10b of coupler 100 is connected with light source by metal pipe 300, the input end of fiber optic conduit 200 is connected with the output socket 10c of coupler 100, the specific structure of coupler 100 refers to the above embodiment, since the laser emission device proposed by the utility model includes all the schemes of all the embodiments of the above coupler 100, at least has the same technical effect with the above coupler 100, which is not described one by one here.
