Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a portable OCT device in the form of a case equipped with a display of a door structure.

Background Art

[0002] Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a technology that can observe the inside of living tissues using light, and is a cutting-edge medical diagnostic technology used in fields such as ophthalmology and cardiology. There are time domain, spectral domain, and swept source methods. Among them, the spectral domain OCT system has attracted attention because it can reduce manufacturing costs while ensuring performance above a certain level.

[0003] In the case of conventional OCT systems, each device constituting the system has a problem that its scale is large, and research is continuing to miniaturize it.

[0004] However, in the case of OCT devices developed through such efforts, they still have a structure in which a display device provided independently of another PC is connected to each other, and each PC and display equipment are placed on a desk and used, so it is quite inconvenient to carry. When an external impact occurs because it is installed while being exposed on the back or side, there is a problem that it is directly exposed. In the case of conventional OCT, there is a problem that the examiner has to directly adjust the adjustment standard for inspection with a joystick, and since the face support for supporting the subject's face and the OCT device probe part are mechanically separated, there are inconveniences in carrying, moving, and storing.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a portable OCT device in which the OCT system main body and the display device are integrated for convenient portability.

[0017] Further, the jaw receiving base portion can have a structure that can be detached from the main body.

[0018] Further, the receiving portion has a structure that can be folded so that both sides of the pair of plate structures are in contact with each other. When any one of the plate structures is pulled in the horizontal direction, a structure is formed that is pulled in the vertical direction and a shaft that supports the receiving portion can be moved.

[0019] Further, a forehead fixing portion having a plate structure protruding from the front surface portion of the main body and having a detachable structure from the main body can be further provided in a region of the front surface portion of the main body.

[0020] Further, the forehead fixing portion has a rectangular structure, and a predetermined region of a short side having the forehead fixing portion is coupled to the main body, and the forehead fixing portion can rotate about the coupled portion.

[0021] Further, a main body support portion having a plate structure formed with a predetermined length and width is further provided on the lower surface of the main body, and a region of the main body support portion and a region of the lower surface of the main body can be coupled to each other.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0027] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail so that those having ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains can easily implement it. However, the present invention can be implemented in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. In the drawings, parts not related to the explanation are omitted for clarity in explaining the present invention, and similar reference numerals are given to similar parts throughout the specification.

[0028] Throughout this specification, when a part is said to be "connected" to another part, this includes not only cases where it is "directly connected", but also cases where it is "electrically connected" with other elements interposed therebetween. Note that when a part "includes" a certain component, this means that, unless otherwise stated to the contrary, it does not exclude other components, and it can further include other components, and it should be understood that the existence or possibility of addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof is not precluded in advance.

[0029] The following examples are detailed descriptions for helping the understanding of the present invention and do not limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, inventions within the same scope that perform the same functions as the present invention also belong to the scope of rights of the present invention.

[0030] FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b are diagrams showing the configuration of a portable OCT system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 1a, the portable OCT system 1 is composed of a main body 100 incorporating an OCT device, a display unit 200, a chin support unit 300, a forehead fixing unit 400, and a main body support unit 600.

[0032] In the specification of the present invention, the OCT device is embodied as a miniaturized module and installed inside the main body 100, and is configured to be able to independently capture and process optical coherence tomography images by including an optical unit, a circuit unit, a power supply unit, etc. that constitute the OCT device itself.

[0033] The portable OCT system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is embodied as an OCT device seated on a polyhedral main body 100. At this time, a display unit 200 is provided on the side surface of the main body 100, and the image captured through the OCT device is displayed.

[0034] Note that the display unit 200 can be provided such that the screen for displaying the image captured by the optical unit of the OCT device faces the side surface of the main body 100. At this time, although not shown in FIG. 1a, at least one display moving unit can be provided that is connected to one corner of the main body 100 and one end of the display unit 200 so as to move the position of the display unit.

[0035] Thereby, the display unit 200 rotates with reference to the display moving unit, and when the screen is exposed to the examiner, an image of the subject is displayed, and then it rotates again by the display moving unit for storage so that the screen faces the side surface of the main body 100. It is configured to be rearranged.

[0036] Specifically, the components of the OCT system 1 are described as follows.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the main body 100 has a hexahedral structure with an OCT device provided inside, and has a hexahedral structure with one area sunken. In the sunken area, a jaw support 300 and a forehead fixing part 400, which will be described later, are arranged so that an examination or measurement of the subject can be performed.

[0038] That is, the main body 100 mounts the optical unit and the control unit of the OCT device inside, and as shown in FIG. 1a, includes a stepped portion 110 formed so that the front lower side protrudes. Note that the main body 100 has a structure that allows the subject to seat the examination site through the stepped portion 110 and allows the light source of the optical unit to enter the subject's sample through a hole formed on the upper front side where the stepped portion 110 is arranged.

[0039] At this time, a hole is formed in one side area of the front surface of the main body 100, and the lens unit 120 of the OCT device is formed in the hole so that the lens unit 120 is exposed to the outside. As described above, a stepped portion 110 having a predetermined size is formed in the other side area of the front surface of the main body 100, and the stepped portion 110 serves to mount the jaw support 300.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the display unit 200 is disposed in close contact with the side surface of the main body 100 and serves to provide a tomographic image captured by the optical unit of the OCT device to an examiner.

[0041] In an additional embodiment, the display unit 200 can be provided with a touch screen having an input / output function and serve as an operation unit through which a user can operate the OCT device.

[0042] On the other hand, at least one display moving unit 210 (for example, a hinge (specifically shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b)) is connected to one corner of the main body 100 and one end of the display unit 200 so that the position of the display unit 200 can be moved.

[0043] Therefore, the display unit 200 can be disposed in close contact with the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 by folding at 90° or more with reference to the corner between the side surface portion of the main body 100 and the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 and display an image. Specific situations in which the display unit 200 folds will be described again through two embodiments described later.

[0044] Therefore, the user can position the display unit 200 on the side or the back of the OCT system 1 according to the convenience of use, and can view the screen with the patient at the same time or the examiner alone as needed. At that time, the display unit 200 is moved to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 and positioned so that the center of the display unit 200 is fixed to the center of the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the jaw support base portion 300 can be formed on the upper surface of the stepped portion 110 formed on the main body 100. The jaw support base portion 300 is embodied for the purpose of receiving the jaw of the subject and can be formed in various shapes. Among them, it can be formed in a T-shaped structure. Therefore, the patient will take an OCT image by placing the jaw on the T-shaped jaw support base portion 300 and aligning the eyes with the lens portion 120.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the forehead fixing part 400 is for fixing the forehead of a patient like the jaw support part 300 to be useful for imaging.

[0047] Therefore, the forehead fixing part 400 can be formed in a plate structure having a plane parallel to the main body 100 in a region of the front surface part of the main body 100 facing the step part 110 of the main body 100.

[0048] Next, referring to FIG. 1b, a hexahedron structure in which the lid part 500 covers the front surface part of the main body 100 is shown.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the lid part 500 is coupled to the main body 100, it comes to protect the step part 110, the lens part 120, the jaw support part 300, the forehead fixing part 400, etc. located on the front surface part of the main body 100.

[0050] At that time, in FIG. 1b, the lid part 500 is shown as covering the entire surface of the main body 100, but in an alternative embodiment, the step part 110 may be exposed and provided in a form that protects only the lens part 120, the jaw support part 300, and the forehead fixing part 400.

[0051] On the other hand, the OCT device can operate through the following five steps.

[0052] As a first step, after the portable OCT device is prepared, the main body support part 600 can be expanded.

[0053] As a second step, by rotating the display part 200 using the display moving part 210, the screen of the display part 200 can be exposed.

[0054] As a third step, the cover coupled to a region of the main body 100 is removed, and the step part 110 of the main body 100 configured to seat the examination site of the subject and the hole connected to the optical part can be exposed.

[0055] As a fourth step, when the power button of the main body 100 is pressed, the optical unit and the control unit in the main body 100 operate to display an image of the subject on the display unit 200.

[0056] As the final step, after the inspection progresses, the display unit 200 can be rotated again by the display moving unit 210 for storage so that the screen faces the side surface of the main body. That is, by reversing the processes of the above-described first to fourth steps, the portable OCT device can be deformed into a state that is easy to move (store).

[0057] FIGS. 2A to 2C are diagrams showing a first embodiment of a method in which the display unit 200 is folded to the back surface according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] This is an embodiment showing the process in which each display unit 200 moves to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 in the order of FIGS. 2A to 2C.

[0059] At this time, referring to FIGS. 2B and 2C, the OCT system 1 can be provided with a display moving unit 210 between the back surface portion 130 and the side surface of the main body 100. At this time, the display moving unit 210 can be configured by a hinge, and the display unit 200 is moved to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 by the hinge, and the center of the display unit 200 can be in close contact with the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100.

[0060] Note that the main body 100 is formed so as to be disposed in close contact with the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100, and a slide panel 220 can be installed so as to be selectively slidable in a direction parallel to the plane of the back surface portion 130 of the main body. Note that a rail portion 230 is further provided on the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 to slide the slide panel 220.

[0061] At this time, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2A, the hinge corresponding to the display moving unit 210 is provided so as to connect the corner of the slide panel 220 and the corner of the display unit 200.

[0062] Therefore, after the display unit 200 is rotated by the display moving unit 210, it is slid in a direction parallel to the plane of the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 by the rail portion 230 and the slide panel 220, so that the centers of the back surface portions 130 of the main body 100 are arranged to abut against each other.

[0063] At that time, as a selective additional embodiment, the rail portion 230 can be provided in the form of a groove formed in the inner direction of the main body 100 on the side surface portion of the main body 100. In such a case, the slide panel 220 can also have a structure inserted and fixed inside the main body 100.

[0064] Thereby, the display unit 200 is usually arranged on the side surface of the main body 100 as shown in FIG. 2a, and the entire OCT system 1 is realized in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped to minimize the volume. At that time, it has the advantage of being convenient for the examiner to carry and transport the OCT system 1. However, when the examiner tries to examine the subject, if the subject is located in the direction of the step portion 110 and the display unit 200 remains on the side surface as it is, it becomes difficult for the examiner to view the display and the subject at the same time.

[0065] Therefore, the display unit 200 can be slid and moved to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 as shown in FIG. 2c, whereby the examiner can conveniently diagnose and measure the subject.

[0066] Although not shown in the drawings, a hanging structure and a protrusion formed between the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 and the slide panel 220 may be further included. At this time, when the display unit 200 is disposed in close contact with the side surface portion of the main body 100, the hanging structure and the protrusion may be coupled to prevent the movement of the slide panel 220. In addition, when the display unit 200 is rotated by the display moving unit 210 and disposed to face the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100, the coupling between the hanging structure and the protrusion may be released so that the slide panel 220 can be moved. At this time, as described above, after the display unit 200 is folded by more than 90° by the hinge, the display unit 200 can be disposed on the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 by being slid by the slide panel 220.

[0067] On the other hand, as another embodiment, a display fixing unit may be further included so that the display unit 200 is fixed to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 after the display unit 200 is rotated to the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100. At this time, the display fixing unit may correspond to a door catch having a hanging structure formed on the display unit 200 and a protrusion corresponding to the hanging structure provided on the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 or magnet structures respectively provided on the display unit 200 and the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100.

[0068] In addition, various embodiments capable of fixing the back surface portion 130 of the main body 100 and the display unit 200, which can be easily derived by those skilled in the art, may be included in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0069] FIGS. 3A and 3B are diagrams showing a second embodiment illustrating a method in which a display unit is folded to the back in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 3a, the rail portion 230 can be formed to horizontally extend at the upper and lower ends of the side surface portion of the main body 100. In such a case, the second slide panel 240 is coupled to the rail portion 230, and the second slide panel 240 is configured to be coupled to the back surface portion of the display unit 200 through the second hinge 250.

[0071] Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3a, the display unit 200 can be implemented to be pulled backward in parallel with the side surface of the main body 100 and then folded backward and fixed as shown in FIG. 3b.

[0072] At this time, the display unit 200 is completely overlapped with the side surface portion of the main body 100, thereby preventing the display unit 200 from protruding. Therefore, as an alternative embodiment, the size of the display unit 200 can have a size smaller than the side surface portion of the main body 100. However, the display unit 200 does not necessarily need to correspond to the form of the side surface portion of the main body 100. Note that the area where an image is displayed on the display unit 200 faces the outer surface of the display unit 200.

[0073] FIGS. 4a to 4b are diagrams showing an illustration of the structure of the lid portion 500 of the OCT system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0074] Prior to the description, the lid portion 500 can be formed in a structure that can cover a structure for seating a subject's examination site. For example, the lid portion 500 can be formed in a structure that can cover the lens portion 120 from which a light source is emitted, the chin support portion 300, the forehead fixing portion 400, and the step portion 110.

[0075] At this time, as a first embodiment, the lid portion 500 has a detachable structure on the front surface portion of the main body 100. Accordingly, the lid portion 500 has a plate structure having a predetermined curved surface in a U shape that can cover the lens portion 120, the forehead fixing portion 400, and the chin support portion 300. That is, when the lid portion 500 is coupled to the main body 100, as shown in FIG. 4a, the chin support portion 300 and the forehead fixing portion 400 are completely covered.

[0076] Next, in the second embodiment, the lid portion 500 can also be embodied in a form that is not detachable. Specifically, a second rail portion can be further formed that extends from a region at the corner where the front surface portion and the upper surface portion of the main body 100 meet to a region of the upper surface portion.

[0077] At this time, one side region of the lid portion 500 is coupled to the second rail portion, and the lid portion 500 slides on the front surface portion of the main body 100 and moves to the upper surface portion of the main body 100. For example, as shown in FIG. 4a, the lid portion 500 coupled to the front surface portion of the main body 100 is such that one side region of the lid portion 500 and the second rail portion are coupled as shown in FIG. 4b, and as shown in FIG. 4c, the lid portion 500 slides on the front surface portion of the main body 100 and moves to the upper surface portion of the main body.

[0078] FIGS. 5a and 5b are diagrams showing a first embodiment for housing the jaw support base portion 300 and the forehead fixing portion 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0079] Before explaining this, referring to FIGS. 6a and 8b, the jaw support base portion 300 includes a jaw support portion 320 vertically formed on the upper surface of the step portion 110 with a predetermined length and a receiving portion 310 horizontally fixed to one side of the jaw support portion 320 and having a pair of plate structures with a predetermined width.

[0080] At this time, each plate of the receiving portion 310 has a predetermined curvature and is configured in a symmetric shape with respect to each other, and the center of the receiving portion is coupled to the jaw support portion 320.

[0081] As an alternative embodiment, the receiving portion 310 has a W shape having a predetermined curvature and a symmetric shape, and the jaw support portion 320 is coupled to the center of the receiving portion so as to maintain a T shape. Therefore, the patient can place the jaw on any region of the receiving portion 310 where the curvature of the W shape is formed according to the direction of the eye to be measured.

[0082] For example, when measuring the left eye, after placing the jaw and forehead on the right side of the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 and fixing them, measurement can be performed. When measuring the right eye, after placing the jaw and forehead on the left side of the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 and fixing them, measurement can be performed.

[0083] The forehead fixing part 400 has a plate structure protruding from the front part of the main body 100 in a region of the front part of the main body 100, and is embodied to have a structure detachable from the main body 100.

[0084] For example, the forehead fixing part 400 has a rectangular plate structure, and a predetermined curvature is formed so that the short sides face each other, and it is realized so as to stably support the forehead.

[0085] Explaining the first embodiment again, it is assumed that the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 have a structure detachable from the main body 100.

[0086] At that time, referring to FIGS. 5a and 5b, inside the lid part 500, there can be further provided a louver coupling part 510 having a structure corresponding to the detached jaw support 300 and forehead fixing part 400 respectively, and the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 can be coupled to each other.

[0087] Therefore, before coupling the lid part 500 of the OCT system 1 after the inspection to the main body 100, the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 separated from the main body 100 are coupled to the louver coupling part 510 formed inside the lid part 500.

[0088] FIGS. 6a and 6b are diagrams showing a second embodiment for housing the jaw support 300 and the forehead fixing part 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
