Description

導光結構 Light guiding structure

本發明是有關於一種導光結構,特別是有關於一種應用於內視鏡的導光結構。 The present invention relates to a light guiding structure, and more particularly to a light guiding structure applied to an endoscope.

目前,習知之導光結構應用於內視鏡之結構順序依序為:影像感測器、鏡頭筒(其內部係設有光學鏡片)及導(遮)光罩。其中,導光罩、鏡頭筒及影像感測器係依序組裝在一起。惟習知之內視鏡於組裝導光罩時,由於組件過多,不僅徒增組裝人員之組裝工序,若組裝人員組裝不當,鏡頭的視角即遭阻擋;再者,此導光結構主要由導光罩及鏡頭二項分件所組成,更提高製造及倉儲成本;另外,於習知之導光結構內部,影像感測器及光學鏡片之間,尚設有一抗紅外線玻璃,藉以避免紅外線抵達影像感測器,進而干擾鏡頭所擷取的影像,且於導光罩頂面內緣處更設有一保護玻璃以保護及隔離鏡頭筒內的光學鏡片及影像感測器與外界環境,換言之,此種結構設計藉由許多光學元件達到保護鏡頭或提高影像的擷取效果的目的,但是過多的光學元件,反而增加光線進入鏡頭前的干擾,造成光線的穿透率降低許多。 At present, the structure of the conventional light guiding structure applied to the endoscope is sequentially: the image sensor, the lens barrel (with the optical lens inside) and the guiding (masking) mask. The light guide, the lens barrel and the image sensor are assembled in sequence. However, when the conventional endoscope is assembled with the light guide, due to too many components, the assembly process of the assembler is not increased, and if the assembler is improperly assembled, the angle of view of the lens is blocked; further, the light guide structure is mainly guided by light. The cover and the lens are composed of two parts, which further increases the manufacturing and storage costs. In addition, inside the light guide structure, there is an anti-infrared glass between the image sensor and the optical lens to avoid infrared rays reaching the image. The detector further interferes with the image captured by the lens, and a protective glass is disposed on the inner edge of the top surface of the light guide to protect and isolate the optical lens and the image sensor in the lens barrel from the external environment, in other words, The structural design achieves the purpose of protecting the lens or improving the image capturing effect by many optical components, but excessive optical components increase the interference of light into the lens, resulting in a much lower transmittance of light.

根據本發明之目的,係提供一種導光結構,包括一鏡頭筒及一複合玻璃。其中,鏡頭筒之一端之筒徑較另一端之筒徑小,故鏡頭筒之一端即形成一遮光結構,鏡頭筒內設有複數個光學鏡片而形成一光路,導引所欲觀察之一物體之一反射光線。複合玻璃則於其表面設有一抗紅外線塗層,設於鏡頭筒一端之頂面內緣處,以隔離鏡頭筒與外界環境並過濾紅外光。 In accordance with the purpose of the present invention, a light directing structure is provided that includes a lens barrel and a composite glass. Wherein, the diameter of one end of the lens barrel is smaller than the diameter of the other end, so that one end of the lens barrel forms a light-shielding structure, and a plurality of optical lenses are arranged in the lens barrel to form an optical path for guiding an object to be observed. One reflects light. The composite glass is provided with an anti-infrared coating on the surface thereof, and is disposed at the inner edge of the top surface of one end of the lens barrel to isolate the lens barrel from the external environment and filter the infrared light.

承上所述,依本發明之導光結構,其可具有一或多個下述優點: In view of the above, the light guiding structure according to the present invention may have one or more of the following advantages:

(1)鏡頭筒及其所包含的遮光結構以一體成型的模式製造,可減少組裝人員之組裝工序,避免組裝導光罩與鏡頭筒不當而造成阻擋視角的風險,並降低成本。 (1) The lens barrel and the light-shielding structure contained therein are manufactured in an integrated molding mode, which can reduce the assembly process of the assembler, avoid the risk of blocking the viewing angle by assembling the light guide cover and the lens barrel, and reduce the cost.

The image sensor 13 is placed on the image sensor carrier 12, and the inside of the other end of the lens barrel 10 is overlapped with the image sensor 13 by the tube wall, and sealed by the sealant 130 to isolate the image sensing. The lens 13 and the external environment, such that the lens barrel 10 can fix the distance between the optical lens 100 and the image sensor 13 without being affected by some between the image sensor carrier 12 and the lens barrel 10. The shape changes or shifts, causing a change in the focal length. The optical lens 100 provided in the lens barrel 10 forms an optical path for guiding the reflected light 20 of the object 2 incident on the lens barrel 10 into the image sensor 13. The circuit board (PCB) 14 has a circular flat shape and is circularly hollow at the center thereof and surrounds the lens barrel 10. The light source is a light emitting diode (LED) and surrounds the lens barrel 10 for emitting a photo. The visible light of the bright object 2. In addition, at least one bracket 16 is supported between the circuit board 14 and the image sensor carrier 12 .

請參閱第3圖,其係為本發明之導光結構之立體結構實施例示意圖。圖中,影像感測板1設有一影像感測器13,接收由鏡頭筒10所傳遞之反射光線20並產生影像。其中,此反射光線20乃由安裝於電路板14上之至少一發光源15所發出,經照映在物體2上之後,再由物體表面反射回來所稱。而由發光源15所發射出之直接光源,其發射方向係無特定方向,倘若無特定方向之光源直接射入鏡頭筒10,並傳遞至影像感測器13而成像,則所欲觀察物體之影像即遭干擾或破壞。故鏡頭筒10即以其一端之筒徑較小的部分為遮光結構,用以阻擋此無特定方向之光源,並限制鏡頭筒10僅接收正前方入射之物體2之反射光線20,避免曝光過度,以清楚地成像所欲觀察之物體2。 Please refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure embodiment of the light guiding structure of the present invention. In the figure, the image sensing board 1 is provided with an image sensor 13 for receiving the reflected light 20 transmitted by the lens barrel 10 and generating an image. The reflected light 20 is emitted by at least one of the illumination sources 15 mounted on the circuit board 14, and is reflected by the surface of the object after being reflected on the object 2. The direct light source emitted by the light source 15 has no specific direction of emission. If the light source without a specific direction directly enters the lens barrel 10 and is transmitted to the image sensor 13 for imaging, the object to be observed is observed. The image is disturbed or destroyed. Therefore, the lens barrel 10 is a light-shielding structure with a portion having a smaller diameter at one end thereof for blocking the light source having no specific direction, and restricts the lens barrel 10 from receiving only the reflected light 20 of the object 2 incident directly in front, thereby avoiding overexposure. To clearly image the object 2 to be observed.

此外,設於鏡頭筒10內側上緣之複合玻璃11,係提供雙重之功效:其一為保護玻璃,其二則為濾光板。其中,保護玻璃之功效係阻隔鏡頭筒10與外界環境,避免鏡頭筒10內之光學鏡片及影像感測器13於內視鏡操作時接觸到外界環境,如酸鹼環境或人體體液等,以防止產生腐蝕或功能喪失等情形。上述濾光板之功效則係過濾紅外光,使影像感測器13所接收到的光為所需之可見光,而不會有不可見之紅外光之干擾,而影響成像之品質。 In addition, the composite glass 11 disposed on the inner edge of the inner side of the lens barrel 10 provides a dual effect: one is a protective glass, and the other is a filter. The function of the protective glass is to block the lens barrel 10 from the external environment, and prevent the optical lens and the image sensor 13 in the lens barrel 10 from contacting the external environment during the operation of the endoscope, such as an acid-base environment or a human body fluid, etc. Prevent corrosion or loss of function. The function of the above filter plate is to filter the infrared light, so that the light received by the image sensor 13 is the desired visible light without interference of invisible infrared light, which affects the quality of the image.

綜合上述之說明,本發明之導光結構之鏡頭筒係以一體成型的模式包含一個遮光結構做為習知之導(遮)光罩,可減少組裝人員之組裝導(遮)光罩的工序,避免組裝導(遮)光罩與鏡頭筒不 當而造成視角被阻擋的風險,且可降低成本;另外尚改進習知導光結構使用過多的光學元件,而僅於鏡頭筒內部設有一片複合玻璃,減少光學元件之使用及製造,進而提升光線穿透率,並降低成本。 In view of the above description, the lens barrel of the light guiding structure of the present invention comprises a light shielding structure as a conventional guide (mask) mask in an integrally formed mode, which can reduce the assembly process of the assembly person by covering the light shield. Avoid assembling the guide (mask) reticle and lens barrel When the viewing angle is blocked, the cost is reduced, and the cost can be reduced. In addition, the conventional light guiding structure is used to use too many optical components, and only one composite glass is disposed inside the lens barrel, thereby reducing the use and manufacture of the optical components, thereby improving Light penetration and reduce costs.

以上所述僅為舉例性,而非為限制性者。任何未脫離本發明之精神與範疇,而對其進行之等效修改或變更,均應包含於後附之申請專利範圍中。 The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
