Description

Apparatus for magnifying and displaying region of the human body}

The present invention relates to a human body enlargement display device, and more particularly, to a human body enlargement display device that can perform a safe and convenient inspection of the human body parts.

In general, the ear, oral cavity, nasal cavity, anus, etc. of the human body is located in a narrow dark part, it is not easy to test only by the eyes of the examiner. In addition, for a more detailed examination of the skin it is necessary to look at the enlarged skin. As a medical device for easily inspecting such narrow and dark areas of the human body or skin, a human body enlargement display device has been developed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus for expanding a human body part includes a hand probe 10 for photographing a human body part, a light source provided to the hand probe 10, and a hand probe ( A main body 20 for enlarging and storing the image captured by 10) and a monitor 30 for displaying the image magnified by the main body 20.

As shown in FIG. 2, the hand probe 10 includes an insertion unit 11 mounted by selectively mounting various types of insertion units 11, 12, and 13 suitably manufactured according to the human body part of the inspection object. , 12, 13) to photograph the human body parts.

However, in the conventional human body enlargement display device configured as described above, since the inspection portion is displayed only through a monitor connected to the main body, as shown in FIG. 3, the inspection performer I looks at the monitor, not the hand probe, and looks at the hand probe. Since the movement of the insertion portion of the hand probe is incorrectly moved, there is a big risk of damaging the human body part of the subject (P).

Most parts of the human body that are examined through the hand probe are made of mucous membranes such as the ear, oral cavity, and anus, and thus are easily scratched or ruptured.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by attaching a display unit for displaying a human body part to the hand probe, to provide a human body enlarged display device that allows the test operator to perform the test while watching the hand probe. Its purpose is to.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a human body enlargement display device comprising a hand probe for photographing the part of the human body instructed by the operator and a main body for enlarged display of the image taken by the hand probe through a monitor The display device may be attached to the hand probe to display the photographed human body part.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

4 is an external view of a human body enlargement display device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as can be seen with reference to the same figure, the human body enlarged display device according to the present invention, a hand probe 100 for taking a human body part And a light source provided to the hand probe 100, and a main body 200 for enlarging and storing an image captured by the hand probe 100 and an enlarged image of the main body 200. It is composed of a monitor 300 to display.

As shown in FIG. 5, the hand probe 100 includes a display unit 110, a camera 120, an operation unit 130, and a light irradiation unit 140. The display unit 110 is installed on the outer side (preferably, the upper outer side) of the hand probe 100 so that the inspector I can easily view the display image while performing the inspection, and is applied from the main body 200. The image captured by the camera 120 is displayed according to the display control signal. For example, the display unit 110 may be a liquid crystal display (LCD).

The camera 120 photographs a human body part in a direction in which the test operator I moves the body of the hand probe 100 and converts the photographed image into a corresponding image signal and inputs the same to the main body 200.

The operation unit 130 includes a plurality of operation buttons attached to the body of the hand probe 100, and when the test operator I manipulates the operation buttons, a corresponding operation signal is generated and input to the main body 200. do.

The light irradiator 140 irradiates light to a part of the human body to be photographed by the camera 120 by a light source supplied from the main body 200.

As shown in FIG. 5, the main body 200 includes a power supply unit 210, an image processing unit 220, a light generation unit 230, and an operation unit 240. The power supply unit 210 converts the commercial AC power input from the outside into a DC power source and applies it to the image processor 220 and the light generator 230.

The image processing unit 220 processes a video signal input from the camera 120 according to a key signal input from the control unit 130 of the hand probe 100 and the control unit 240 of the main body 200 as a display control signal. After the conversion, it is applied to the display unit 110 and the monitor 300 of the hand probe 100, and the input image signal is converted into data that can be stored and stored in a storage location not shown.

The light generator 230 generates light and supplies it to the light emitter 140 through a medium (eg, an optical cable). For example, the light generator 230 may be a halogen lamp.

The operation unit 240 is configured to include a plurality of operation buttons and a power button attached to the main body 200, when the test operator I operates the operation button to generate a corresponding operation signal corresponding to the image processing unit 220 In addition to inputting the), when the test operator I operates the power button, the power output from the power supply unit 210 is turned on / off accordingly.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawings, each component of the hand probe 100 is operated by receiving a DC power applied from the power supply unit 210 of the main body 200.

Now, the operation of the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, when the inspector I operates the operation unit 240 of the main body 200 and turns on the main power, the image processor 220 and the light generator 230 in the main body 200 are turned off from the power supply unit 210. And DC power to each component of the hand probe 100.

When the test operator I brings the hand probe 100 to the human body to be examined by the examinee P, the camera 120 of the hand probe 100 photographs and photographs the human body with the hand probe 100. The converted image is converted into an image signal and input to the image processor 220 of the main body 200.

The image processing unit 220 of the main body 200 processes a video signal input from the camera 120, converts the video signal into video data, and generates a control signal for enlarging and displaying the video taken by the converted video data. The displayed display control signal to the display unit 110 and the monitor 300 of the hand probe 100.

The enlarged human body part is displayed on the display 110 and the monitor 300 of the hand probe 100 by the display control signal applied from the image processor 220.

According to the present invention, since the human body part is displayed through the display unit 110 attached to the hand probe 100, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 6, the test operator I is not a monitor 300. The inspection may be performed while the probe 100 is viewed, thereby minimizing the risk of damaging the human body part of the subject by incorrectly moving the hand probe 100.

The present invention is described by illustrating a specific embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. Those skilled in the art can easily make various changes and modifications to the present invention, and it should be noted that such variations or modifications are included in the scope of the present invention as long as they use the features of the present invention.

As described above, the present invention displays the human body part currently being inspected through the display unit attached to the hand probe, so that the test operator can perform the inspection while watching the hand probe. This has the effect of minimizing the risk.
