Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and more specifically, to a periorbital support for eye image acquisition. Background Technology

[0002] Accurate acquisition of ocular images is crucial in ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment. Traditional ocular image acquisition equipment, such as slit-lamp imaging systems and fundus imaging devices, are essential tools for ophthalmologists to observe and record the condition of the eye. These devices typically consist of a fixed camera and an adjustable light source, with the doctor manually adjusting the position and angle of the device to align it with the patient's eye. However, these traditional devices have some limitations, such as complex operation, long preparation time, low patient comfort, and image quality being affected by patient head movement.

[0003] With technological advancements, autofocus technology is increasingly used in ocular image acquisition, improving image clarity and shooting efficiency. Currently, slit-lamp imaging systems or fundus imaging devices are used for ocular image acquisition. These systems typically include a slit-lamp microscope and a high-definition digital camera. Doctors adjust the position and angle of the microscope to align with the patient's eye. However, in practice, these devices still require doctors to manually adjust physical parameters such as the horizontal and vertical directions and the distance from the patient to accommodate different patient heights, facial lengths, and eye positions. Therefore, it is difficult to improve acquisition efficiency and image quality. Furthermore, these devices require patients to maintain a uniform posture for extended periods, causing significant discomfort.

[0004] In conclusion, how to provide a periorbital support that facilitates the acquisition of eye images is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a periorbital support for eye image acquisition, thereby improving the efficiency and image quality of eye image acquisition.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A periocular support for acquiring eye images, comprising:

[0008] A housing, with an opening on one side, for housing a camera;

[0009] Two support legs are fixed to one side of the housing with the opening and are respectively located on both sides of the opening. When the two support legs are close to the patient's face, the two support legs are respectively located on both sides of the patient's eyes.

[0010] A support member, which is detachably mounted on the support leg, is used to adjust the distance between the housing and the patient's face.

[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the two support legs are integrally formed with the housing, and each of the two support legs has an anti-detachment protrusion on its opposite side to prevent the camera from detaching.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-detachment protrusion has an inclined surface facing the direction of the housing on the side facing away from the housing.

[0013] Furthermore, in this invention, a support portion is provided at the end of the support leg away from the housing, and the support portion is a plate-shaped structure perpendicular to the support leg.

[0014] Furthermore, the support member is made of a soft material with elastic deformation capability.

[0015] Furthermore, the support member is provided with a groove, and the support part engages with the groove to realize the installation of the support member on the support part.

[0016] Furthermore, the housing contains a wireless communication module, a power supply, and a controller, both of which are electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] Furthermore, the housing is provided with a control button and a charging port.

[0018] Furthermore, one of the two support legs is provided with a reserved hole for operating the camera light button.

[0019] The eye image acquisition periocular support provided by this utility model allows the camera to be placed inside the housing during use. The operator can hold the housing with one hand, or the patient can hold the housing themselves. The two support legs are placed on the patient's face. By setting the support legs on the housing, the required gap is maintained between the camera inside the housing and the patient's face. At this time, the operator can observe and take pictures of the patient's eyes through the camera. Because the camera is close to the patient's face, it ensures that even if the patient's eyes move or deform slightly during the shooting process, they can remain within the depth of field of the acquisition device. The rapid and accurate positioning of the subject's eyes through the support legs eliminates the need to consider individual differences of the subject, thereby greatly reducing the operator's preparation time. The patient can hold the shooting device, reducing the impact of the subject's involuntary facial rotation, improving the stability of the shooting and image quality, and reducing the discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] The core of this invention is to provide a periorbital support for eye image acquisition, which improves the efficiency and image quality of eye image acquisition.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-5 An eye image acquisition periocular support includes a housing 1 and two support legs 2. The housing 1 has an opening on one side for holding a camera 8. The two support legs 2 are fixed to the side of the housing 1 with the opening and are located on both sides of the opening. A support member is detachably installed on the support legs and is used to adjust the distance between the housing and the patient's face.

[0031] In use, the camera is placed inside the housing 1. The operator can hold part of the housing 1 with one hand, or the patient can hold the housing 1 themselves. The two support legs 2 are placed on the patient's face, and the support legs 2 maintain the required gap between the camera and the patient's face. At this time, the operator can observe and take pictures of the patient's eyes through the slot camera, ensuring that even if the patient's eyes move or deform slightly during the shooting process, they can remain within the depth of field of the acquisition device. The support legs 2 quickly and accurately locate the subject's eyes, eliminating the need to consider individual differences of the subject, thus greatly reducing the operator's preparation time. The patient can hold the shooting device, reducing the impact of the subject's involuntary facial rotation, improving the stability of the shooting and image quality, and reducing the discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time.

[0032] It should be noted that the support leg 2 in this embodiment of the present invention may also adopt other structures, such as the support leg 2 being distributed around the perimeter of the shell 1, or adopting a rod-shaped structure.

[0033] In addition, in this embodiment of the invention, the housing 1 can be selected and customized according to the size of the camera used.

[0034] Optionally, in some embodiments, a clamping structure is provided inside the housing 1 to effectively fix cameras of different sizes by clamping the camera.

[0035] Optionally, in some embodiments, the clamping structure may be provided with a rubber ring inside the housing 1, which is used to fix the camera by squeezing the rubber ring.

[0036] Optionally, in some embodiments, the length of the support leg 2 is designed in conjunction with the fixed-focus camera to fit most Asian faces. When using the periorbital support for shooting, it can quickly and clearly capture images, so there is almost no need for adjustment. At the same time, the support leg 2 creates a gap between the camera and the patient's eye, which facilitates the operator's manipulation of the patient's eyelids to better capture images based on the patient's eye condition.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to improve the stability of the camera during use, in some embodiments, the support leg 2 is integrally formed with the housing 1, and anti-detachment protrusion 3 is provided on the opposite side of the two support legs 2. That is to say, by setting anti-detachment protrusion 3 on the support leg 2, the camera is limited after entering the housing 1, thereby preventing the camera from falling off, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the camera during use.

[0038] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the anti-slip protrusion 3 may be fixed by being integrally formed with the support leg 2.

[0039] In other embodiments, the anti-detachment protrusion 3 is a rubber block, which provides a limiting function for the camera through the elastic deformation function of the rubber block.

[0040] Please continue to refer to this.

That is, the inclined surface reduces the resistance when the camera enters the housing 1.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to improve the stability of the support during the testing process, in some embodiments, the end of the support leg 2 away from the housing 1 is provided with a support part 201. The support part 201 is a plate-shaped structure perpendicular to the support leg 2. That is to say, the support part 201 can increase the contact area of ​​the support leg 2 of the support when it is in contact with the patient's face, thereby improving the stability during the testing process and reducing the patient's discomfort.

[0042] Optionally, in some embodiments, the support member 4 is fixed in a manner that is integrally formed with the support leg 2.

[0043] In other embodiments, the support portion 201 may be made of materials such as rubber or silicone and fixed to the support leg 2 by adhesive or snap-fit.

[0044] Optionally, in some embodiments, a support member 4 is also included. The support member 4 is detachably installed on the support leg 2. The support member 4 is used to adjust the distance between the housing 1 and the face. That is, the support member 4 plays the role of adjusting the distance between the support leg 2 and the patient's face, thereby adapting to the purpose of taking pictures and observing at different heights. At the same time, in conjunction with the automatic focus adjustment of the camera, the purpose and effect of high-definition photography are achieved.

[0045] Optionally, in some embodiments, the support member 4 is made of a soft material with elastic deformation capability. That is, by using a soft material with elastic deformation capability, the operator can adjust the height by slightly pressing the support member 4 during use. In addition, the soft material can more easily conform to the patient's face, improve the versatility of the support and the stability during use, and reduce the patient's discomfort during the examination.

[0046] Optionally, in some embodiments, the support member 4 may be made of sponge, which has elastic deformation capability and is inexpensive. When examining different patients, in order to avoid cross-infection and other problems, the support member 4 can be used as a disposable item, which is conducive to further improving the safety of the stent during use.

[0047] Optionally, in some embodiments, the support member 4 is provided with a groove 401. By inserting the support part 201 into the groove 401, the support member 4 is installed on the support part 201. The groove 401 on the support member 4 can quickly disassemble the support member 4, which is more conducive to the purpose of the support member 4 as a disposable item.

[0048] Optionally, in some embodiments, double-sided adhesive is applied inside the groove 401 of the support member 4, which can help improve the firmness of the connection between the support member 4 and the support part 201 during use, prevent it from falling off during the testing process, and avoid damage to the patient's face.

[0049] Optionally, in some embodiments, the support portion 201 is provided with a plurality of positioning protrusions, and the groove 401 of the support member 4 is provided with a corresponding positioning groove 401, thereby improving the accurate positioning of the support member 4 and the support portion 201 after they are engaged.

[0050] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing 1 is equipped with a wireless communication module, a power supply, and a controller. Both the wireless communication module and the power supply are electrically connected to the controller. That is, in use, by adding the wireless communication module, the bracket has a wireless control function, and the power supply has a power reserve function, allowing the operator to collect eye images without touching the device, which improves the convenience of operation and the stability of shooting, and helps to improve the success rate of shooting.

[0051] Optionally, in some embodiments, the wireless communication module may adopt Bluetooth, WIFI or network modes. Specifically, in this utility model, Bluetooth is used to realize the wireless control function.

[0052] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a control button 6 and a charging port 5. The control button 6 is used to control the wireless control function of the bracket, and the charging port 5 is used to charge the power supply.

[0053] Optionally, in the above embodiments, pressing and holding the control button 6 can control the power on / off of the host, and when connected wirelessly to the camera, pressing the control button 6 briefly can enable the shooting function, making it convenient for the operator to shoot with one hand.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 In order to facilitate the control of the camera's lights, in some embodiments, one of the two support legs 2 is provided with a reserved hole 9 for operating the camera light button 7. That is, the camera is provided with a light button 7, which protrudes from the camera body. Therefore, the reserved hole 9 on the support leg 2 is used for the light button 7 to extend out. On the one hand, this facilitates the operator to control the camera lights. On the other hand, when the light button 7 extends out of the reserved hole 9, it helps to further limit the camera and improve the stability of the camera during use.

[0055] Optionally, in some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a status light, which is used to display the power on / off status of the host, the wireless communication interaction display, the charging display, and the shooting completion display, etc.

[0057] Optionally, in some embodiments, the cover plate can be detachably fixed by bolts or clips, or fixed by riveting.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments, a head-mounted assembly is also included. The housing 1 is connected to the head-mounted assembly, which is used to fix the housing at the patient's eye position. Therefore, the operator only needs to fix the housing 1 with the camera installed at the patient's eye position through the head-mounted assembly, which facilitates the operator's operation and reduces the situation of unclear shooting caused by the patient's head movement.

[0059] In other embodiments, a frame assembly is also included. The housing 1 is connected to the frame assembly and is used to fix the housing at the patient's eye position. Therefore, the operator only needs to fix the housing 1 with the camera installed at the patient's eye position through the eyeglass assembly, which facilitates the operator's operation and reduces the situation of unclear shooting caused by the patient's head movement.

[0060] In other words, the key point of this utility model embodiment is: using a small camera to photograph the patient's eyes, the operator can hold part of the housing 1 with one hand, or the patient can hold the housing 1 themselves, and place the two support legs 2 on the patient's face. The support legs 2 maintain the required gap between the camera and the patient's face. At this time, the operator can observe and photograph the patient's eyes through the slotted camera, ensuring that even if the patient's eyes move or deform slightly during the shooting process, they can remain within the depth of field of the acquisition device. The support legs 2 quickly and accurately locate the subject's eyes, without having to consider individual differences of the subject, thereby greatly reducing the operator's preparation time. The patient can hold the shooting device, reducing the impact of the subject's involuntary facial rotation, improving the stability of the shooting and image quality, and reducing the discomfort caused by maintaining the same posture for a long time.
