Endoscope optical system and preparation facilities, preparation method
Technical field
The present invention relates to the optical system of endoscope, the optical system of especially cheap endoscope and preparation facilities thereof and method.
Background technology
Endoscope is indispensable instrument in the treatment of disease early diagnosis, the Reusability such as to be carried out disinfection by various mode from present situation because endoscope self price is high, therefore.In order to the prevention of avoiding infection of 100%, careful cleaning and sterilization etc. also become indispensable part, must be equipped with the medical apparatus and instruments such as endoscope cleaning instrument for this reason.On-the-spot in medical treatment, although by suitable regulation implement sterilization operation, present situation to carry out sterilizing completely.
Therefore, because the handling implement sterilization of endoscope is insufficient, the case of infection is caused also to have report by blood, saliva, the content of digestive organs extraction, the attachment etc. of tissue.
From present situation, a lot of medical apparatus such as scalpel, syringe, in order to ensure safety, is just directly thrown away after using.But, see Fig. 1, the optical fibers 1 must made with superfine imaging quartz glass due to endoscope with load in lens barrel 2, have multiple eyeglass 3 through grinding in lens barrel 2, and the end face 11 of optical fibers 1 grinds with special abrasive working appts.The manufacturing cost of this optical system not only optical element is high, assembling also needs very high technology, therefore have the ability to manufacture the production firm of endoscope is limited and manufacturing cost is very high, so endoscope's price is very high, thus hospital has to, and to carry out Reusability be exactly present truth to endoscope.
In view of this situation, in order to ensure the nonrecoverable high health of endoscope, reliability and safety, just must seek the exploitation of the endoscope optical system of low cost.
Summary of the invention
The object of this technology is to provide a kind of endoscope optical system of low cost.
The endoscope optical system of this technology, the overall camera lens that it comprises plastic optical fiber and is formed with resin injection moulding, one end of plastic optical fiber is coaxial and stretch into the rear end of camera lens and form one with camera lens with described camera lens, and the end face stretching into the plastic optical fiber one end in camera lens is vertical with camera lens optical axis.
Above-mentioned low cost endoscope optical system, described resin is silicones.The resin of acrylic resin, Merlon or cyclenes system class is used in general molded lenses, but the micro structure of these resins is transcribable may not be abundant, do not possess and biocompatible and zygosity, generally believe and use such a ordinary resin to be very difficult to manufacture the small-sized one-body molded property eyeglass of endoscope-use yet.Silicones is very well transcribable due to the low thus micro structure of viscosity, is suitable for manufacturing micro parts relative to common resin, and silicones and biocompatible and zygosity fine.
Above-mentioned endoscope optical system, described plastic optical fiber is simultaneously as lighting fiber and imaging fibre (illumination and imaging use same optical fiber), and optical fiber end arranges the divided beams device that illumination path and imaging optical path are separated.Endoscope's number of fibers common in a lot of situation is abundant, independently can have lighting fiber.Therefore the degree of freedom that lighting condition is relative is higher.But in order to reduce costs further, the quantity of the optical fiber in this patent is limited, be thus difficult to guarantee the special optical fiber that throws light on.So illuminator described in this patent and imaging system must pass through coaxial optical fiber, and optical fiber end arranges the divided beams device that illumination path and imaging optical path are separated.Illumination light can not enter in imaging optical path, therefore can not affect image contrast.
Above-mentioned endoscope optical system, its reflective illuminator in asymmetrical beam hurdle also for throwing light on to optical fiber.In order to ensure the function of endoscope, the optical system of dirty survey is necessary.Built-in reflective formula illuminator in downstream side optical system, in reflective illuminator, arrange asymmetrical beam hurdle can change illumination condition, plays great role to the improvement of visibility.
This technology does not re-use traditional grind spectacle lens, but adopts the overall camera lens formed with resin injection moulding; This technology does not re-use the optical fibers that quartz glass is made yet simultaneously, but adopts plastic optical fiber to carry out throwing light on and transmission information.These all greatly reduce the cost of low cost endoscope optical system, make the single use of endoscope become possibility.
This technology provides the preparation facilities of a kind of structure endoscope optical system simple, easy to use simultaneously, and the endoscope optical system cost prepared with this preparation facilities is low, and can ensure its quality.
The preparation facilities of the endoscope optical system described in this technology, flange fixedly exceeds the plastic optical fiber of end face of flange; Camera lens mould is connected with end face of flange, end face of flange is cavity closed camera lens mould being formed camera lens for resin by injection, the plastic optical fiber coaxial with die cavity stretches into die cavity rear end, with stretch in die cavity cast gate plastic optical fiber die cavity wall diametrically had for resin injection.
The preparation facilities of above-mentioned endoscope optical system, cast gate has multiple, plastic optical fiber axisymmetrical.
The beneficial effect of the preparation facilities of the endoscope optical system described in this technology: fixed plastics fiber on flange, serves positioning action to plastic optical fibre, prevents the movement of plastic optical fibre.In this preparation facilities, cast gate is opened with in plastic optical fiber die cavity wall diametrically, and like this, the rising head on moulding (overall camera lens) will be looped around the surrounding of plastic optical fiber, when causing moulding surface to have a damage when remove feeders, can not the image quality of camera lens impact.
This technology additionally provides a kind of simple to operate, and can ensure the preparation method of the endoscope optical system of the endoscope optical system quality prepared.
The preparation method of the endoscope optical system of this technology, uses above-mentioned preparation facilities, and camera lens mould is connected with the end face of flange being fixed with plastic optical fiber; After resin is injected die cavity from cast gate, cooling forming, removes flange and camera lens mould.
The preparation method of above-mentioned endoscope optical system, had the following steps before camera lens mould is connected with the end face of flange being fixed with plastic optical fiber: fixing head is contacted with end face of flange and fixes, the plastic optical fiber exceeding end face of flange extend in the hole equal with plastic optical fiber external diameter that fixing head leaves, then the end face of fixing head is cut, the end face of plastic optical fiber is also cut.
The beneficial effect of the preparation method of the endoscope optical system described in this technology: the optical fiber of conventional imaging generally uses quartz glass etc. to manufacture, its end face grinds with special abrasive working appts.But in this patent, be the plastic optical fiber of the material making of plastic series because of optical fiber communication, lapping mode processing in the past can not be adapted to.Therefore, this technology have employed the end face that special ultraprecise processing method carrys out processing plastic optical fiber, namely prior wait with the fixing head fixing with flange locate, fixed plastics optical fiber, then the end face of fixing head is cut, make the end face of the plastic optical fiber under the state be fixed also by precision cutting, improve the fineness of plastic optical fiber end face, and working (machining) efficiency is high.
