Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of optical disposable rigid endoscope mount technology, and particularly relates to an optical mount. Background technology:

[0002] Disposable rigid endoscopes, similar to traditional rigid endoscopes, use an optical system to transmit images of internal tissues or organs to an external monitor. Unlike traditional reusable endoscopes, disposable rigid endoscopes are designed to reduce the risk of cross-infection and do not require cumbersome disinfection and maintenance procedures. During use, the eyepiece cap of the disposable rigid endoscope must be connected to the endoscope's optical bayonet before connecting to the camera to transmit images to the light source. The connection between the disposable rigid endoscope eyepiece cap and the endoscope's optical bayonet not only increases the difficulty of operation but also poses a risk of damage to both during the connection process. Furthermore, when using the optical bayonet with a disposable rigid endoscope, the separate use of the reusable optical bayonet requires disinfection, which consumes significant time and resources. Therefore, it is necessary to improve upon these technical issues, hence this case. Utility Model Content:

The guide pin passes through the arc-shaped groove and slides with it. The inner end of the guide pin is screwed to the lens barrel, and the outer end of the guide pin is screwed to the rotatable adjusting ring. When the rotatable adjusting ring rotates, it drives the guide pin to slide along the arc-shaped groove, and the guide pin drives the lens barrel to move axially along the mount body.

The locking cover presses against the step surface of the peripheral side of the eyepiece cover to fix the eyepiece cover.

[0008] Furthermore, a first sealing ring is provided between the rear peripheral side of the front pressure ring and the inner peripheral side of the rotatable adjusting ring; a second sealing ring is provided between the eyepiece cover and the rear end face of the front hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer peripheral side of the rear end of the bayonet body is provided with an external thread, which is used to connect with the camera to form a C-type interface structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the glass lens group is formed by combining multiple lenses.

[0013] Furthermore, a lens retaining ring for locking the glass lens assembly is screwed to the rear end of the lens barrel, and the front end of the glass lens assembly abuts against the stepped surface on the inner periphery of the lens barrel.

[0030] In this embodiment, the glass lens group 11 consists of multiple lenses assembled in the inner hole of the lens barrel. The rear end of the lens barrel 9 is screwed with a lens retaining ring 12 for locking the glass lens group 11. The front end of the glass lens group 11 abuts against the inner peripheral stepped surface of the lens barrel 9.

[0031] In this embodiment, the optical bayonet is made entirely of medical-grade PC material and glass lens material, and can be integrated with a disposable rigid endoscope to form a single unit; compared with the disposable rigid endoscope combined with the reusable optical bayonet after surgery, there is no need to disinfect the reusable optical bayonet separately.
