Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of a mechanical structure for a slit-lamp microscope, specifically a mechanical structure for a slit-lamp microscope. Background Technology

[0002] Slit-lamp microscopes, also known as narrow-slit-lamp microscopes, are widely used in ophthalmology to observe the condition of the eye being examined. These conventional slit-lamp microscopes consist of an illumination unit that projects slit light into the eye being examined, and a microscope unit for observing the eye. The illumination unit and microscope unit each have an illumination support arm and a microscope support arm, respectively, which are connected via a common rotation axis in a manner that allows for independent horizontal rotation. Furthermore, the focal plane of the slit light emanating from the illumination unit onto the rotation axis coincides with the focal plane of the microscope, thereby enabling illumination and observation of the eye being examined at any angle.

[0003] However, the color filters and slit aperture of existing slit-lamp microscopes are generally controlled manually, which makes them rather cumbersome to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the mechanical structure of the above and / or existing slit lamp microscopes, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mechanical structure for a slit lamp microscope. When using this device, the light source control of the intelligent slit lamp microscope is realized through DLP optical engine. The moving parts and the light source parts of the slit lamp microscope are controlled separately. A PLC control system is used to realize the control of rotation angle and three-dimensional motion. The DLP optical engine module replaces the manual filter switching and slit aperture control, solving the problem that the light source cannot be digitally controlled. This design ensures that the slit lamp microscope will not become too large and heavy due to the use of too many motors, and also realizes fully automatic digital control.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] This invention provides a mechanical structure for a slit-lamp microscope. When using this device, the light source control of the intelligent slit-lamp microscope is realized through DLP optomechanical control. The moving parts and light source parts of the slit-lamp microscope are controlled separately. A PLC control system is used to realize the control of rotation angle and three-dimensional motion.

[0024] Figures 1-2 The diagram shown is an overall structural schematic of one embodiment of the mechanical structure of a slit-lamp microscope according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-2 The mechanical structure of a slit-lamp microscope according to this embodiment includes the following main body:

[0025] 1. Frame 1; X-axis adjustment assembly mounted on frame 1; 2. Casters symmetrically mounted at the bottom of frame 1; 3. Y-axis adjustment assembly mounted on X-axis adjustment assembly 2; 4. Handrails symmetrically mounted on frame 1; 5. Rotating assembly mounted above frame 1; 6. Bracket mounted on handrail 5; 7. Lifting assembly mounted at the top of Y-axis adjustment assembly 4 and connected to rotating assembly 6; 8. Platform mounted on the top surface of frame 1; 9. PLC control box mounted on the inner wall of frame 1; 10. DLP optical engine module USB port mounted on frame 1; 11. ... The components include: a touch screen 12 on the frame 1, a button box 13 on the frame 1, an observation mirror 14 on the top of the frame 1, a camera 15 on the observation mirror 14 and connected to the rotating assembly 6, a reflector 16 mounted on the rotating assembly 6, and a DLP optical engine module 17 mounted on the rotating assembly 6; an X-axis adjustment assembly 2 electrically connected to the PLC control box 10; a Y-axis adjustment assembly 4 electrically connected to the PLC control box 10; a lifting assembly 8 electrically connected to the PLC control box 10; and a rotating assembly 6 electrically connected to the PLC control box 10.

[0026] The DLP optical engine module consists of a digital micromirror array and a control circuit electrically connected together. The control circuit is electrically connected to the PLC control box. Each pixel of the digital micromirror is an RGB three-color LED, which switches the light source color to form a microscope filter. The digital micromirror also includes a flip-up micromirror; the slit formed by the flipping of the micromirror serves as the microscope slit. This allows the light source support to incorporate the DLP optical engine module, which is connected via USB. The system controls the optical engine module to generate light sources of different colors, lengths, brightness, and widths. The light source support has a reflector, allowing the light source to be reflected from top to bottom before reaching the eye. A digital camera enables real-time photography of the patient's eye lesions. The observation system has a zoom wheel to control the magnification. The observation support has an eyepiece, allowing for local observation and diagnosis of the patient's eye lesions. The halogen lamp of the traditional slit-lamp microscope has been replaced with the DLP optical engine module 17, with the light source originating from the DLP optical engine module 17. The light is projected from top to bottom onto the total reflection mirror and finally reflected to the eye. The DLP optical engine module 17 consists of a digital micromirror array and control circuitry. Each pixel of the digital micromirror is an RGB tri-color LED. By controlling the current of each LED, the color of the light source is switched, replacing the function of the color filter in the traditional slit-lamp microscope. By controlling the flip angle of each micromirror in the digital micromirror, slits of different widths are formed, replacing the function of the slit in the traditional slit-lamp microscope.

[0027] Among them, the X-axis adjustment component 2 is a first linear guide rail component installed along the X-axis; the Y-axis adjustment component 4 is a second linear guide rail component set along the Y-axis, and the second linear guide rail component is installed on the slider of the first linear guide rail component; the lifting component 8 is a cylinder lifting component, and the cylinder lifting component is installed on the slider of the second linear guide rail component; the rotating component 6 is a combination structure of a rotary motor and a rotary mounting plate, and the rotating component 6 is installed on the top of the cylinder lifting component.

[0028] Combination Figures 1-2The mechanical structure of a slit-lamp microscope according to this embodiment is as follows: When using this device, the light source control of the intelligent slit-lamp microscope is realized through DLP optical engine. The moving parts and light source parts of the slit-lamp microscope are controlled separately. A PLC control system is used to realize the control of rotation angle and three-dimensional motion. The activation of the first linear guide rail assembly can drive the entire DLP optical engine module 17, reflector 16, camera 15, and observation mirror 14 to move along the X-axis. The activation of the second linear guide rail assembly can drive movement along the Y-axis. The activation of the cylinder lifting assembly can drive lifting. The activation of the rotary motor can drive the rotating mounting plate to rotate, thereby driving the other structures to rotate together. The use of DLP optical engine module 17 to replace manual color filtering and aperture control solves the problem that the light source cannot be digitally controlled. This design ensures that the slit-lamp microscope will not become too large and heavy due to the use of too many motors, and also realizes fully automatic digital control.
