Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microscope support technology, and in particular relates to a microscope fixing mechanism and microscope that facilitates wiring. Background Technology

[0002] Microscopes, especially those used for precision industrial inspection (such as semiconductor and PCB board inspection) or life science research, typically require connections to multiple lines, including power cables, data signal cables, and optical fiber illumination sources. These microscope components are usually mounted on adjustable stands to meet observation needs at different heights, angles, and positions.

[0003] Existing microscope supports are generally designed with a focus on the flexibility and stability of their mechanical structures, often neglecting the proper management of wiring. Common wiring methods are rather crude, such as simply bundling a bundle of wires to the outside of the metal crossarm or vertical rod of the support using cable ties or Velcro. This external wiring method has significant drawbacks: when the operator moves the microscope's crossarm or adjusts its height, the bundled wires experience hard friction and scraping against the support, and their tightness cannot be adjusted adaptively, easily leading to tangling and twisting during repeated movements. More seriously, the movement of the support often directly pulls on the wires, transferring stress directly to the precision interfaces at the ends of the microscope lens components, causing minute displacements or vibrations that severely compromise observation stability and affect image clarity.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively prevent the connecting lines of the microscope lens from getting tangled, pulled, and worn during movement without sacrificing the flexibility of the microscope support has become an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] Based on the above situation, the main purpose of this utility model is to provide a microscope fixing mechanism and microscope that facilitate wiring, so as to solve the problem that the wiring is prone to tangling, pulling and wear when the microscope lens is moved by the support.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a microscope fixing mechanism that facilitates wiring, comprising: a horizontal moving assembly including several parallel moving horizontal tubes, at least one of the moving horizontal tubes having a first wire passage, and two adjacent moving horizontal tubes being connected at one or both ends; a vertical support assembly including a fixed base and a supporting vertical tube, the fixed base being fixed to an operating platform, and the supporting vertical tube cooperating with the fixed base; a connector, the connector being movably installed on the supporting vertical tube, and the moving horizontal tube being movably inserted into the connector; a fixing rod, disposed at one end of the horizontal moving assembly near the outlet of the first wire passage, for fixing a lens assembly; the horizontal moving assembly is adjustable to allow the lens assembly to move axially along the moving horizontal tubes, wherein the connecting wire passes through the first wire passage and completes the wiring with the microscope assembly to be fixed.

[0007] Preferably, the first wire guide channel entrance or exit end is fitted with a first wire guide plug for wire harnessing, the top of the fixing rod is provided with a second wire guide plug for wire harnessing, and the connecting line passes through the first wire guide plug and the second wire guide plug and is connected to the microscope assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the lateral movement assembly further includes a first pipe joint and a second pipe joint, and the number of moving horizontal tubes is three, wherein the moving horizontal tube located in the middle is provided with the first wire passage channel, the end of all the moving horizontal tubes away from the fixed rod is installed on the first pipe joint, the end of all the moving horizontal tubes close to the fixed rod is installed on the second pipe joint, the inlet end of the first wire passage channel is connected to the first pipe joint, and the outlet end of the first wire passage channel is connected to the second pipe joint.

[0009] Preferably, the supporting vertical tube is provided with a second wire passage, the bottom inlet of the second wire passage is connected to the outside, and the top outlet of the second wire passage is provided with a third wire pass plug for wire bundling. The connecting wire passes through the second wire passage and the third wire pass plug to complete the wiring with the lens assembly to be fixed.

[0010] Preferably, the second pipe connector includes a first connecting part, one end of which is used to fix the movable horizontal pipe, and the other end of which is provided with an outlet that communicates with the first wire passage, and a first wire plug is located in the outlet.

[0011] Preferably, the second pipe fitting further includes a second connecting part, which is integrally formed on the end of the first connecting part near the outlet, and the end of the second connecting part opposite to the outlet is provided with a threaded interface for installing the fixing rod.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the second connecting part is provided with a level for detecting the flatness of the horizontal end face.

[0013] Preferably, a first self-lubricating bearing is provided at the mating point between the movable horizontal tube and the joint; a second self-lubricating bearing is provided between the supporting vertical tube and the joint.

[0014] Preferably, the vertical support assembly further includes a flange fixing plate, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the operating platform and is detachably connected to the fixing seat.

[0015] The present invention also provides a microscope, including a lens assembly and the microscope fixing mechanism, wherein the lens assembly is mounted on the fixing rod. The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this invention, the design of the connecting line passing through the first wire passage to complete the wiring with the microscope assembly to be fixed ensures that when the moving horizontal tube connector moves, the line only slides within the first wire passage, thereby reducing the phenomenon of entanglement and interference with the external structure.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described based on embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. In the following detailed description of the present invention, some specific details are described in detail, but well-known methods, processes, procedures, and elements are not described in detail in order to avoid obscuring the essence of the present invention.

[0019] Furthermore, those skilled in the art should understand that the accompanying drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily drawn to scale.

[0020] Unless the context explicitly requires it, the words "comprising," "including," and similar terms throughout the specification and claims should be interpreted as encompassing rather than being exclusive or exhaustive; that is, meaning "including but not limited to."

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. Furthermore, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a microscope fixing mechanism that facilitates wiring, comprising: a horizontal moving assembly 1, including several parallel moving horizontal tubes 11, at least one moving horizontal tube 11 having a first wire passage 111, and two adjacent moving horizontal tubes 11 being connected at one or both ends; a vertical support assembly 2, including a fixed base 21 and a supporting vertical tube 22, the fixed base 21 being fixed to an operating platform 8, and the supporting vertical tube 22 cooperating with the fixed base 21; a connector 3, the connector 3 being movably installed on the supporting vertical tube 22, and the moving horizontal tubes 11 being movably inserted into the connector 3; and a fixing rod 4, located at one end of the horizontal moving assembly 1 near the outlet of the first wire passage 111, for fixing the lens assembly; the horizontal moving assembly 1 is adjustable to allow the lens assembly to move axially along the moving horizontal tubes 11, wherein the connecting wire passes through the first wire passage 111 to complete the wiring with the microscope assembly to be fixed.

[0023] In this invention, the design of the connecting line passing through the first wire passage 111 to complete the wiring with the microscope assembly to be fixed ensures that when the moving horizontal tube 11 connector 3 moves, the line only slides within the first wire passage 111, thereby reducing the phenomenon of entanglement and interference with the external structure. Since the line avoids direct friction with the metal edge and mechanical damage from repeated bending and entanglement, its wear is minimized, the failure rate is significantly reduced, and the service life is greatly extended.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, a first wire guide plug 12 for wire bundling is fitted at the inlet or outlet end of the first wire passage 111, and a second wire guide plug 41 for wire bundling is provided at the top of the fixing rod 4. The connecting wire passes through the first wire guide plug 12 and the second wire guide plug 41 and then connects to the microscope assembly. The wire guide plug is made of rubber, with an opening in the middle and cracks around the edges, which can concentrate and fix the wire, and will not damage the surface of the wire when pulled. The wire is effectively clamped and fixed by the wire guide plug at the key inlet and outlet, ensuring that the force generated during the movement is absorbed and guided by the channel itself, rather than being directly transmitted and pulled on the precision interface of the microscope assembly, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment and image quality during the adjustment process.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, a second wire passage 221 is provided inside the supporting vertical tube 22. The bottom inlet of the second wire passage 221 communicates with the outside, and the top outlet of the second wire passage 221 is provided with a third wire plug 222 for wire bundling. The connecting wire passes through the second wire passage 221 and the third wire plug 222 to complete the wiring with the lens assembly to be fixed. The connecting wire passes through the second wire passage 221 and the second wire plug 41 to complete the wiring with the lens assembly to be fixed. This ensures that when the microscope is height adjusted on the supporting vertical tube 22, the wiring inside the vertical tube is also effectively constrained and protected, completely avoiding direct friction between the wiring and the inner wall of the vertical tube and possible entanglement inside the vertical tube, further improving the wiring safety and reliability of the entire system when moving in three-dimensional space.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5In this embodiment, the lateral moving assembly 1 further includes a first pipe connector 6 and a second pipe connector 7. There are three moving horizontal tubes 11, with the middle moving horizontal tube 11 having a first wire passage channel 111. The ends of all moving horizontal tubes 11 furthest from the fixed rod 4 are mounted on the first pipe connector 6, and the ends of all moving horizontal tubes 11 closest to the fixed rod 4 are mounted on the second pipe connector 7. The inlet end of the first wire passage channel 111 communicates with the first pipe connector 6, and the outlet end of the first wire passage channel 111 communicates with the second pipe connector 7. This enhances the bending stiffness and overall structural stability of the horizontal arm, effectively preventing drooping or shaking of the horizontal arm due to the weight of the microscope assembly or external forces, thus providing a more stable mechanical foundation for high-precision observation. Simultaneously, it ensures that the wiring within the moving horizontal tube 11 is not subjected to additional compression due to structural deformation during the movement of the horizontal arm. The structure of fixing the first pipe joint 6 and the second pipe joint 7 at both ends achieves a stable connection between the movable horizontal pipe 11 and the supporting horizontal pipe, and makes the outlet of the line uniformly converge to the outlet 711 of the second pipe joint 7, making the wiring simpler and facilitating later maintenance.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the second pipe connector 7 includes a first connecting portion 71. One end of the first connecting portion 71 is used to fix the movable horizontal tube 11 and support the horizontal tube, and the other end of the first connecting portion 71 is provided with an outlet 711 communicating with the first wire passage 111. A first wire plug 12 is located inside the outlet 711. The second pipe connector 7 also includes a second connecting portion 72, which is integrally formed on the end of the first connecting portion 71 near the outlet 711. The end of the second connecting portion 72 away from the outlet 711 is provided with a threaded interface 722 for installing the fixing rod 4. The design of the second connecting portion 72 and its threaded interface 722 realizes a standardized, high-strength, and easy-to-assemble / disassemble connection between the fixing rod 4 and the horizontal arm module. This integrally formed structure avoids the use of additional adapters, reduces assembly steps, improves connection rigidity and accuracy, and ensures the stability of the lens assembly mounting base.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, a level 721 for detecting the flatness of the horizontal end face is provided at the top of the second connecting part 72. The operator can quickly check and ensure the levelness of the top of the fixing rod 4 for mounting the lens assembly, which greatly improves the ease of use of the equipment and the accuracy of the observation results.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, a first self-lubricating bearing 31 is provided at the mating point between the movable horizontal tube 11 and the connector 3; a second self-lubricating bearing 33 is provided between the supporting vertical tube 22 and the connector 3. The first self-lubricating bearing 31 and the self-lubricating bushing can significantly reduce frictional resistance and wear during movement, reduce jamming and noise, and eliminate jamming or abnormal noise caused by friction.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 In this embodiment, the vertical support assembly 2 also includes a flange fixing plate 23, which is disposed on the bottom surface of the operating platform 8. The flange fixing plate 23 is detachably connected to the fixing seat 21, and the operating platform 8 is pressed between the flange fixing plate 23 and the fixing seat 21. The detachable connection between the flange fixing plate 23 and the fixing seat 21 facilitates disassembly during transportation and installation, and also provides more flexible installation options, which can adapt to operating platforms 8 of different thicknesses or structures. The pad 24 is used to adjust the height.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model also provides a microscope, including a lens assembly and a microscope fixing mechanism. The lens assembly is mounted on a fixing rod 4. The microscope has all the technical features and effects mentioned above in the fixing mechanism.
