AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the meibomian glands cannot be clearly observed, making it difficult to accurately perform meibomian gland massage due to reliance on the medical staff's tactile sense and experience.

Method used

The system uses a combination of a camera and a projector. The camera is fixed to the patient's eye via a connecting bracket, captures images of the eye, processes them with a light and shadow processor, and then transmits them to the projector. The projector is adjusted in position using an adjustment bracket and projected onto the outside for medical staff to observe.

Benefits of technology

This allows for direct observation of the meibomian glands, reduces the difficulty of massage, and improves the accuracy and efficiency of the operation.

The top of the fixed gripping plate 111 is connected to the rotating rod 112 via a threaded rod and a fixing cap. The two ends of the rotating rod 112 are provided with rotating holes to connect the fixed gripping plate 111 and the placement box 113. The bottom of the placement box 113 is connected to the rotating rod 112 via a threaded rod and a fixing cap. A camera avoidance hole is provided at the center of the placement box 113.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing rubber patch is provided on the inner side wall of the placement box 113.

[0009] Preferably, the real-time signal transmitter can be a data transmission adapter or a Bluetooth transmitter.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment frame 21 includes an "L"-shaped placement platform 211 and a sheet metal structure supporting the placement platform 211. The top of the placement platform 211 is provided with a fixing rail and the side wall is provided with fixing bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment frame 21 includes a placement platform 211 and a support foot 212 for adjusting height and angle. The support foot 212 includes an adjustment rod, an adjustment ring that is threadedly positioned in the middle section of the adjustment rod, and a support foot fixed to the bottom of the adjustment rod.

[0012] Preferably, the real-time signal receiver can be a data transmission adapter or a Bluetooth transmitter.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it can directly project relevant effects, allowing for treatment operations through intuitive observation, thus reducing the difficulty of massage caused by the lack of a field of vision. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention and to make the above-mentioned features, objectives, and advantages of the present invention clearer and easier to understand, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments. These embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 The present invention includes: a camera 1 and a projector 2;

[0024] The camera 1 is equipped with a connecting bracket 11 for fixing. The camera 1 includes a camera, a light and shadow processor, a core processing chip and a real-time signal transmitter. After the camera captures an image, the light and shadow processor performs color compensation and repair, and then the image is transmitted to the projector 2 through the real-time signal transmitter.

[0025] The projector 2 is equipped with an adjustment bracket 21 for adjustment. The projector 2 includes a light source, an image display chip, a projection lens, and a real-time signal receiver. The real-time signal receiver receives information from the real-time signal transmitter and transmits it to the image display chip. The image display chip transmits the image to the outside in real time through the light source and the projection lens.
