Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a portable eye image acquisition device. Background Technology
[0002] As the primary organ of vision, the health of the eyes not only affects their function but can also reflect signs of other diseases or sub-health conditions. Common eye diseases include myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism caused by refractive errors; macular degeneration; glaucoma; cataracts; diabetic retinopathy; floaters; and various eye injuries. Furthermore, certain pathological features of the eyes are closely related to systemic diseases or unhealthy physical conditions. For example, bloodshot eyes may be a sign of high blood pressure or excessive fatigue, while yellowing of the eyes may be due to bilirubin accumulation caused by liver dysfunction such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
[0003] Therefore, proactive eye health management is essential. Early detection and effective intervention and treatment of related diseases can reduce treatment difficulty, minimize side effects, and improve cure rates. Currently, one of the main methods of eye health management is acquiring eye images for auxiliary diagnosis. However, there is relatively little applied research in the field of eye image acquisition, products have not yet developed industry-specific characteristics, and there is no clear direction for development.
[0004] Existing eye examination equipment, such as ophthalmoscopes, slit-lamp microscopes, and fundus cameras, can provide diagnostic evidence for most eye diseases, but these devices have drawbacks such as complex operation procedures, high cost, large size, and inconvenience in portability.
[0005] However, portable iris scanners on the market have problems such as limited acquisition function (can only acquire iris images), low image clarity, and inability to fully display eye image details, resulting in low diagnostic accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a portable eye image acquisition device. By setting up multiple groups of LED lights with different brightness levels, each group can be turned on and off to meet different lighting needs. In this way, this utility model can increase the variety of objects that can be acquired.

[0063] like Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the light-shielding front cylinder serves to shield light and ensure stable light during the acquisition process; the rectangular opening 36 on the upper cylinder wall is used to place the manual focusing gear 8, and the rear shaft hole 27 is used to insert the rotating shaft 31 through the middle circular hole 33 of the manual focusing gear 8, so that the manual focusing gear 8 is suspended on the upper wall of the light-shielding front cylinder; at the same time, the two front cover fixing posts 29 inside the light-shielding front cylinder are used to fix the lighting LED light panel 6. Four lighting LEDs are inserted into the small hole 35, and after adjusting the appropriate angle and distance, they are welded and fixed to the lighting LED light panel 6; an arc-shaped notch 32 is opened on the upper side of the free end of the light-shielding front cylinder (at the front opening of the upper cylinder wall), which conforms to the human orbital bone structure and can ensure maximum shielding of external light interference.
[0064] Working principle:
[0065] First, the user holds the casing of this data acquisition device in hand and connects the device to a tablet computer via a USB data cable;
[0066] Then, position the light-blocking front tube directly over the eye that needs to be sampled, fit it against the eye socket of the person being sampled, and gently press the handheld sampling device.
[0067] Next, collect iris or sclera images as needed, turn on the corresponding high-brightness LED light group 19 or low-brightness LED light group 18, and observe the image displayed on the tablet computer at the same time.
[0068] Next, rotate the manual focus gear 8 to adjust the appropriate focal length of the camera lens 26, and at the same time fine-tune the position of the acquisition device. Once the image meets the standard acquisition image requirements, image acquisition will be performed.
