Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optical instrument probe protection technology, specifically an optical instrument probe with a protective sleeve. Background Technology

[0002] Optical instrument probes, such as endoscope probes, fiber optic sensing probes, spectral detection probes, and laser therapy probes, are key components in modern medical diagnosis, industrial testing, and scientific research. Their core function is to transmit light signals (illumination light, imaging light, laser light, scattered light, etc.) to enable imaging, measurement, or manipulation of areas that are difficult to observe directly.

[0003] However, these optical probes are extremely susceptible to damage in practical applications, and their structure is highly sensitive to scratches, dust contamination, and chemical and biological corrosion. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an optical instrument probe with a protective sleeve in order to solve the problems mentioned above.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: An optical instrument probe with a protective sleeve includes a probe body and a protective sleeve. The probe body includes a detection part and a connecting part. The detection part is located at the front end of the probe body and is used to contact the object being measured and transmit optical signals. The connecting part is located at the rear end of the probe body and is used to connect with the optical instrument host. The protective sleeve is fitted on the outside of the probe body, and the front end of the protective sleeve has an opening adapted to the detection part, so that the detection part can extend out of the opening to perform detection work.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve is made of an elastic material, namely silicone, the inner wall of the protective sleeve is tightly fitted to the outer wall of the probe body, and the thickness of the protective sleeve is 0.5-3mm.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the protective sleeve is provided with anti-slip texture, the anti-slip texture is strip-shaped, and the depth of the anti-slip texture is 0.1-0.5mm.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a detachable connection structure is provided between the protective sleeve and the probe body. The detachable connection structure includes a protrusion on the inner wall of the protective sleeve and a groove on the outer wall of the probe body. The protrusion and the groove are adapted to each other, and the protective sleeve and the probe body are fixed by the protrusion engaging with the groove.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a dust cover is provided at the front opening of the protective cover. The dust cover is connected to the protective cover by a hinge, and the dust cover can be closed at the opening to prevent dust from entering the interior of the protective cover and contaminating the detection unit when not in use.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the rear end of the protective cover is provided with a tightening structure, which is a Velcro fastener, used to adjust the tightness of the rear end of the protective cover so that the protective cover fits tightly with the connecting part.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve is provided with an identification area, which is text printed with high-temperature resistant ink, used to identify the probe's model, specifications, or usage parameters.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the protective sleeve has an internal buffer layer made of sponge or foam material, which wraps around the outside of the probe body to reduce the impact force on the probe body.

[0013] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0014] 1. The protective cover is made of elastic material and has an internal buffer layer. When the probe is hit, dropped or squeezed, the elastic deformation and energy absorption of the buffer layer can effectively reduce the impact of external force on the probe body, and prevent the detection part from being damaged by external force and affecting the detection accuracy. At the same time, the dust cover can prevent dust from entering and ensure the cleanliness of the probe.

[0015] 2. The anti-slip texture on the outer wall of the protective sleeve increases the friction between the hand and the protective sleeve, preventing the probe from slipping during operation. The detachable connection structure facilitates the installation and removal of the protective sleeve, making it convenient to maintain the probe body or replace the protective sleeve. The tightening structure ensures that the protective sleeve fits tightly with the connection part, preventing the protective sleeve from loosening during use and improving the overall stability and convenience of operation.
