Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of microscope technology, and in particular to a microscope LED housing structure that improves the stability of the light source. Background Technology
[0002] A microscope is a precision optical instrument primarily used to magnify tiny objects that are invisible to the naked eye, making their details clearly visible. It utilizes the imaging principle of a convex lens, using two magnification processes—the objective lens and the eyepiece—to magnify tiny objects to a size that the human eye can distinguish. The objective lens, located close to the object being observed, is responsible for the first magnification, forming an inverted real image. The eyepiece, located close to the observer's eye, is responsible for the second magnification, further magnifying the real image formed by the objective lens to form an upright virtual image. The eyepiece also serves as a light source for illumination.
[0003] The light source is a crucial component in microscope imaging, providing necessary illumination for sample observation. Existing microscope light sources are categorized into conventional light sources and cold light sources. Conventional light sources can be further divided into incandescent lamps, which provide a continuous spectrum but generate a lot of heat and have a short lifespan, and halogen lamps, which provide higher brightness and a longer lifespan than incandescent lamps. Cold light sources are divided into LED lamps, which have advantages such as low heat, long lifespan, and low power consumption and are suitable for various microscopes, and cold light source halogen lamps, which combine the high brightness of halogen lamps with the low-temperature characteristics of LED lamps. However, the housings of existing microscope LEDs are mostly customized for a single LED lamp model. When the LED lamp needs to be replaced, a specific model must be used, which increases the operating cost and reduces maintenance efficiency. Although LED lamps are cold light sources, they still generate a lot of heat after long-term use, making the light source unstable for long-term use, leading to deviations in observation results and reducing practicality.

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.
[0042] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a microscope LED housing structure that improves the stability of the light source. It includes a base 1, with a mounting cylinder 8 fixedly connected to the center of the inner wall of the base 1. The base 1 is used to stably place the entire device.

[0048] Please see the appendix Figure 6 - Appendix Figure 8 A bracket 18 is fixedly connected to the top rear side of the base 1. A second mounting groove 19 is provided on the front side of the bracket 18. The bracket 18 is the top structure that supports the entire microscope. A mounting hole 25 is provided on the rear side of the bracket 18. A second groove 26 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the bracket 18. The mounting hole 25 is used to connect the bracket 18 with the rest of the structure. A first mounting groove 17 is provided in the middle of the front side of the bracket 18. A mounting hole 16 is provided near the edge of the front side of the bracket 18. The first mounting groove 17 is used to engage the rest of the structure with the bracket 18.
[0049] Specifically, the bracket 18 is used to support and mount the rest of the microscope's structure. The first mounting slot 17 can engage the required structure with it. Mounting holes 25 and 16 are used to thread the bracket 18 and the rest of the structure. The second groove 26 is used to guide the power supply beam from the rear into the interior of the entire mechanism. The second mounting slot 19 can mount the stage, on which a slide is placed for easy observation by the user.
[0050] Working principle: When different LED lights need to be installed, they are first placed in the mounting cylinder 8. Then, the screw 4 is rotated so that the fixing block 5 can move on it, thereby pushing the rotating disk 12 to rotate, so that the slider 11 slides in the sliding groove 10. At the same time, the top end of the sliding rod 13 is limited in the guide groove 3, while the bottom end of the sliding rod 13 is driven to slide along the positioning groove 15 by the rotation of the rotating disk 12, thereby pushing the clamping piece 9 to move inward to clamp the LED light. The second mounting groove 19 is used to install the stage, and the stage is used to place the glass slide.
[0051] After the LED light is installed, its bottom contacts the heat conduction plate 202, so that the heat generated when it emits light is conducted by the heat conduction plate 202 into the heat conduction block 203, and then conducted along the heat conduction block 203 into the cooling plate 201. At the same time, the metal sheet 206 is attached to the outer wall of the LED light, so that it can absorb and conduct the heat generated by its outer wall. Meanwhile, the ventilation hole 205 ventilates and dissipates heat on the inside of the mounting cylinder 8, and the filter plate 204 ensures that when the ventilation hole 205 dissipates heat, external dust will not be introduced into it and cause a short circuit.
[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
