Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a microscope eyepiece lens cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] As a precision observation instrument integrating optical lens structures, the core function of a microscope is to transform microscopic objects at the micrometer scale into clear images visible to the naked eye through optical magnification. Currently, the mainstream types of microscopes can be divided into two major technical systems: optical microscopes that use visible light as a light source and electron microscopes that utilize electron beam imaging. Among them, optical microscopes have been widely used in the field of medical testing due to their advantages such as convenient operation and controllable cost.

[0003] In medical settings such as clinical pathology diagnosis and microbiological testing, the observational precision of a microscope directly affects the reliability of the test results. The cleanliness of the objective lenses (usually configured with 3-4 groups) and eyepieces (single or double groups) is a key factor determining image quality. Current maintenance methods primarily rely on manual operation, using specialized wiping cotton or microfiber cloths to clean and care for the lenses inside the microscope tube. However, manual operation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also makes it difficult to control the wiping force and angle, easily leading to scratches on the lens coating.

[0004] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a microscope eyepiece lens cleaning device to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A microscope eyepiece lens cleaning device includes a connecting tube for connecting to the microscope eyepiece tube; a liquid reservoir disposed on the top outer side of the connecting tube; a protective tube disposed at the bottom end of the connecting tube; a connecting frame disposed inside the connecting tube; a rotating rod disposed at the top end of the connecting frame, with the top end of the rotating rod passing through the connecting tube and connected to an adjusting block located at the top end of the connecting tube; a fixing strip disposed at the bottom end of the rotating rod; an intermittent rotation mechanism disposed at the bottom end of the fixing strip; and a cleaning sponge disposed at the bottom end of the intermittent rotation mechanism, so as to achieve gap cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens by means of the intermittent rotation mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, to facilitate the connection between the connecting tube and the microscope eyepiece tube, the connecting tube includes a small-diameter section, with a rotating rod inserted through the middle of the small-diameter section; a large-diameter section is provided at the bottom end of the small-diameter section, and a groove is vertically opened upward on the inner side of the bottom end of the large-diameter section, with several suction cups provided at the top of the groove. A protrusion is provided on the inner side of the top end of the protective tube, which mates with the groove, and the protrusion and the groove, as well as the small-diameter section and the rotating rod, are connected by threads.

[0009] Furthermore, to facilitate the addition of cleaning fluid, the fluid reservoir is located on the bottom outer side of the small-diameter section, and both sides of the top of the fluid reservoir are equipped with fluid inlets. A control panel is located on the top outer side of the connecting cylinder. Several fluid supply hoses connected to the fluid reservoir are installed inside the top of the connecting cylinder, and each fluid supply hose is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0010] Furthermore, to achieve automatic cleaning of microscope eyepiece lenses, effectively prevent scratches on the lens surface coating, and better meet the cleaning needs of microscope lenses, the intermittent rotation mechanism includes a rotating shaft installed in the middle of the fixed bar. A fixed block is located at the bottom of the rotating shaft, and a rotating disk is located at the bottom of the fixed block. A rotating ring is located on the outer circumference of the rotating disk, and the bottom end of the rotating ring is connected to a cleaning sponge. The rotating ring and the rotating disk are connected by several track grooves, and the top outer side of the rotating disk is provided with several arc-shaped connecting parts for connecting the track grooves. Several limiting blocks are located at the top of the rotating ring, and the limiting blocks are connected to the track grooves by drive rods. A drive motor connected to the drive rods is located at one top end of the fixed bar. The fixed block has a rectangular structure, and all sides of the fixed block have arc-shaped surfaces. The height of the track groove is equal to the sum of the heights of the rotating disk and the arc-shaped connecting parts, and the tops of the arc-shaped connecting parts, the track grooves, and the fixed blocks are located on the same horizontal plane. The drive rod includes a rod body, one end of which has a sector-shaped portion that mates with a limit block, and the other end of which has a sliding post that mates with a track groove. A power shaft is located on one side of the top of the rod body, and the top of the power shaft is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor via a coupling. Both the power shaft and the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to a fixed bar via bearings. The drive motor and solenoid valve are electrically connected to a control panel, allowing the control panel to control the operation of the drive motor and solenoid valve respectively.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a connecting cylinder and an intermittent rotation mechanism, the connecting cylinder not only connects the microscope eyepiece tube but also drives the cleaning sponge to rotate intermittently under the action of the drive motor, drive rod, track groove, and rotating ring. This allows for intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens using the cleaning sponge, effectively preventing damage to the lens coating caused by continuous friction between the cleaning sponge and the lens. Compared to traditional manual cleaning methods, this invention not only enables automatic cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens but also effectively prevents scratches on the lens surface coating, thus better meeting the cleaning needs of microscope lenses.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a microscope eyepiece lens cleaning device is provided.

[0022] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figures 1-5 The microscope eyepiece lens cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a connecting cylinder 1 for connecting to the microscope eyepiece tube; a liquid storage part 2 disposed on the top outer side of the connecting cylinder 1; a protective cylinder 3 disposed at the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 1; a connecting frame 4 disposed inside the connecting cylinder 1; a rotating rod 5 disposed at the top end of the connecting frame 4, and the top end of the rotating rod 5 passes through the connecting cylinder 1 and is connected to an adjusting block 6 located at the top end of the connecting cylinder 1; a fixing strip 7 disposed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 5; an intermittent rotation mechanism 8 disposed at the bottom end of the fixing strip 7; and a cleaning sponge 9 disposed at the bottom end of the intermittent rotation mechanism 8, so as to achieve intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens by means of the intermittent rotation mechanism 8. In specific applications, the bottom end of the cleaning sponge 9 may also have several micropores for adsorbing dust on the eyepiece lens.

[0023] By employing the aforementioned technical solution, and by incorporating a connecting cylinder 1 and an intermittent rotation mechanism 8, the connecting cylinder 1 not only connects to the microscope eyepiece tube, but the intermittent rotation mechanism 8 also drives the cleaning sponge 9 to rotate intermittently. This allows for intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens using the cleaning sponge 9, effectively preventing damage to the lens coating caused by continuous friction between the cleaning sponge 9 and the lens. Compared to traditional manual cleaning methods, this invention not only enables automatic cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens but also effectively prevents scratches on the lens surface coating, thus better meeting the cleaning needs of microscope lenses.

[0024] In one embodiment, the connecting cylinder 1 includes a small-diameter portion 101, with a rotating rod 5 inserted through the middle of the small-diameter portion 101. A large-diameter portion 102 is connected to the bottom of the small-diameter portion 101. A groove 103 is vertically formed on the inner side of the bottom of the large-diameter portion 102, and several suction cups 104 are provided on the inner top of the groove 103, facilitating the connection between the connecting cylinder 1 and the microscope eyepiece tube. A protrusion 301, which mates with the groove 103, is provided on the inner side of the top of the protective cylinder 3. The protrusion 301 and the groove 103, as well as the small-diameter portion 101 and the rotating rod 5, are connected by threads, facilitating the connection between the protective cylinder 3 and the connecting cylinder 1.

[0025] In one embodiment, the liquid storage section 2 is located on the bottom outer side of the small diameter section 101, and both sides of the top of the liquid storage section 2 are provided with liquid inlets 10. The top outer side of the connecting cylinder 1 is provided with a control panel 11. The top of the connecting cylinder 1 is provided with a plurality of liquid supply hoses 12 that communicate with the liquid storage section 2, and each liquid supply hose 12 is provided with a solenoid valve 13, thereby achieving the effect of adding cleaning fluid.

[0026] In one embodiment, the intermittent rotation mechanism 8 includes a rotating shaft 801 installed in the middle of the fixed bar 7. A fixed block 802 is provided at the bottom of the rotating shaft 801, and a rotating disk 803 is provided at the bottom end of the fixed block 802. A rotating ring 804 is provided on the outer circumference of the rotating disk 803, and the bottom end of the rotating ring 804 is connected to the cleaning sponge 9. The rotating ring 804 and the rotating disk 803 are connected by a plurality of track grooves 805, and the top outer side of the rotating disk 803 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped connecting parts 806 for connecting the track grooves 805. A plurality of limiting blocks 807 are provided at the top of the rotating ring 804, and the limiting blocks 807 are connected to the track grooves 805 by a drive rod 808. A drive motor 809 connected to the drive rod 808 is provided at one top end of the fixed bar 7. The fixed block 802 has a rectangular structure, and the sides of the fixed block 802 are all provided with arc-shaped surfaces. The height of the track groove 805 is equal to the sum of the heights of the rotating disk 803 and the arc-shaped connecting part 806, and the tops of the arc-shaped connecting part 806, the track groove 805, and the fixing block 802 are located on the same horizontal plane. The drive rod 808 includes a rod body 8081, one end of which is provided with a fan-shaped part 8082 that cooperates with the limiting block 807, and the other end of which is provided with a sliding column 8083 that cooperates with the track groove 805; a power shaft 8084 is provided on one side of the top of the rod body 8081, and the top of the power shaft 8084 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 809 through a coupling. Both the power shaft 8084 and the rotating shaft 801 are rotatably connected to the fixing strip 7 through bearings. The drive motor 809 and the solenoid valve 13 are both electrically connected to the control panel 11 so that the operation of the drive motor 809 and the solenoid valve 13 can be controlled by the control panel 11 respectively. By incorporating an intermittent rotation mechanism 8, the drive motor 809 can drive the cleaning sponge 9 to rotate intermittently under the action of the drive rod 808, the track groove 805, and the rotating ring 804. This allows the cleaning sponge 9 to perform intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens, effectively preventing damage to the lens coating caused by continuous friction between the cleaning sponge 9 and the lens. Compared to traditional manual cleaning methods, this invention not only enables automatic cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens but also effectively prevents scratches on the lens surface coating, thus better meeting the cleaning needs of microscope lenses.

[0027] The working principle of the intermittent rotation mechanism is as follows: By controlling the drive motor 809, the power shaft 8084 drives the drive rod 808 to rotate around the power shaft 8084, thereby causing the sliding column 8083 to move inside the track groove 805. This, in turn, drives the rotating ring 804 and the cleaning sponge 9 to rotate intermittently. Specifically, when the power shaft 8084 drives the drive rod 808 to rotate counterclockwise, the sliding column 8083 moves from... Figure 4The sliding column 8083 moves horizontally into the track groove 805. When the sliding column 8083 enters the track groove 805, it will drive the rotating ring 804 to rotate counterclockwise. When the sliding column 8083 moves to the outermost end of the track groove 805, it will continue to drive the drive rod 808 to rotate counterclockwise, which will also drive the rotating ring 804 to rotate counterclockwise, until the rotating ring 804 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise (during this process, the sliding column 8083 first enters the track groove 805, and then moves to the outermost end of the track groove 805). Finally, the sliding column 8083 moves from the outermost end out of the track groove 805 and into the arc-shaped connecting part 806. At this time, the sliding column 8083 will move from the track groove 805 to the arc-shaped connecting part 806. While the sliding column 8083 is moving in the arc-shaped connecting part 806, the rotating ring 804 is stationary. When the sliding column 8083 enters the track groove 805 again, it will drive the rotating ring 804 to rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise again. This cycle is repeated to realize the interval rotation of the rotating ring 804 and the cleaning sponge 9.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.

[0029] In practical applications, when cleaning the microscope eyepiece lens, first rotate the protective sleeve 3 to separate it from the connecting sleeve 1. Then, the groove 103 of the connecting sleeve 1 can be fitted onto the top of the eyepiece tube and connected to the eyepiece tube via the suction cup 104. Next, rotate the adjusting block 6 so that the rotating rod 5, under the action of the thread, drives the connecting frame 4, the fixing strip 7, and the intermittent rotation mechanism 8 downward until the cleaning sponge 9 contacts the eyepiece lens. Then, add cleaning fluid to the liquid storage section 2 through the liquid inlet 10, and control the solenoid valve 13 to open via the control button on the control panel 11 so that the cleaning fluid drips onto the cleaning sponge 9 through the liquid supply hose 12. Finally, control the drive motor 809 to rotate via another control button on the control panel 11, which in turn drives the cleaning sponge 9 to rotate intermittently via the intermittent rotation mechanism 8. This allows the cleaning sponge 9 to be used for intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens, effectively avoiding damage to the lens coating caused by continuous friction between the cleaning sponge 9 and the lens.

[0030] In summary, by utilizing the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, and by providing a connecting cylinder 1 and an intermittent rotation mechanism 8, not only can the connecting cylinder 1 connect to the microscope eyepiece tube, but also the cleaning sponge 9 can be driven to rotate intermittently under the action of the drive motor 809, drive rod 808, track groove 805, and rotating ring 804. This allows the cleaning sponge 9 to perform intermittent cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens, effectively avoiding damage to the lens coating caused by continuous friction between the cleaning sponge 9 and the lens. Compared with traditional manual cleaning methods, this utility model can not only achieve automatic cleaning of the microscope eyepiece lens, but also effectively avoid scratches on the lens surface coating, thus better meeting the cleaning needs of microscope lenses.
