DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] The technical contents of this disclosure will become apparent with the detailed description of preferred embodiments accompanied with the illustration of related drawings as follows. It is intended that the embodiments and drawings disclosed herein are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive.

[0018] With reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 for an exploded view and cross-sectional view of the lens device with a shading structure in accordance with this disclosure respectively, the lens device with a shading structure 1 comprises a control module 10, a light emitting module 20, a lens module 30, a focusing lens 40, a reflector 50 and a hood 60. The control module 10 is provided for controlling the operation of the light emitting module 20 and receiving the light transmitted from the lens module 30 for computation. Some of the light emitted by the light emitting module 20 will pass out of the focusing lens 40 directly, and some of the light will be reflected by the reflector 50 and then passed out of the focusing lens 40. After the light passing out of the focusing lens 40 and through the object to be tested is reflected, the reflected light passes into the focusing lens 40, and then enters into the lens module 30, and finally is transmitted into the control module 10 for computation, so as to obtain the image of the object to be tested. The detailed structure of the lens device 1 will be described below.

[0019] The control module 10 comprises a control circuit board 11 and a photosensitive element 12 installed onto the control circuit board 11.

[0020] The light emitting module 20 comprises a light source circuit board 21 and a light emitting element 22 installed onto the light source circuit board 21, and the light source circuit board 21 is electrically coupled to the control circuit board 11. In this embodiment, the light source circuit board 21 has a through hole 210 formed at the center thereof, and the light emitting element 22 comes with a plural quantity, and these light emitting elements 22 are disposed around the periphery of the through hole 210.

[0021] The lens module 30 is configured to be corresponsive to the photosensitive element 12 and installed on a side of the control circuit board 11. The lens module 30 comprises a lens barrel 31 and a plurality of lenses 32 installed in the lens barrel 31 (as shown in FIG. 4). In this embodiment, the lens barrel 31 is passed and installed into the through hole 210 of the light source circuit board 21, and the lens module 30 further comprises a lens mount 33. The lens mount 33 is combined with the lens barrel 31 and fixed onto the control circuit board 11.

[0022] In addition, the focusing lens 40 is installed at a front end of the lens module 30, and the reflector 50 is installed between the lens module 30 and the focusing lens 40. The reflector 50 is provided for reflecting the light emitted by the light emitting element 22 and passing the light out of the focusing lens 40.

[0023] In this embodiment, the hood 60 and the lens barrel 31 are integrally formed. In addition, the hood 60 is coupled to the lens barrel 31 and has a shading section 61 extending outwardly from a front edge of the lens barrel 31. In FIG. 2, the shading section 61 is provided for blocking the light L1 reflected from the reflector 50 and preventing the light L1 from entering into the lens barrel 31 directly. In other words, the installation of the hood 60 ensures that a light such as the light L2 enters into the lens barrel 31 from the focusing lens 40 and preventing any stray light (which is a light with a poor angle) from entering into the lens barrel 31 to affect image quality.

[0024] It is noteworthy that the extending length of the shading section 61 can be adjusted according to actual requirements to prevent the light having a poor angle from entering into the lens barrel 31.

[0025] Specifically, the light source circuit board 21 has a plurality of screw holes 211, and the reflector 50 has a plurality of coupling holes 51 configured to be corresponsive to the screw holes 211 respectively. The reflector 50 is fixed onto the light source circuit board 21 by passing a plurality of screws 52 into the coupling holes 51 and the screw holes 211.

[0026] Specifically, the reflector 50 is substantially in a conical shape, and reflector 50 has a first opening 501 and a second opening 502 opposite to each other, and the first opening 501 abuts against the light source circuit board 21, and the second opening 502 is coupled to the focusing lens 40, and the reflector 60 has an outer contour gradually tapered in a direction from the first opening 501 to the second opening 502.

[0027] With reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 for an exploded view and a perspective view of a lens device with a shading structure applied to a skin testing equipment in accordance with this disclosure respectively, the lens device is applied to the skin testing equipment as shown in the figures, and the lens device 1 comprises a casing 70 and a cable 80. The control module 10, the light emitting module 20, the lens module 30, the focusing lens 40, the reflector 50 and the hood 60 are installed in the casing 70. In addition, the cable 80 has an end coupled to the control circuit board 11 and the other end passing out of the casing 70 and provided for coupling an external power supply to supply the electric power required for the operation of the lens device 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the casing 70 comprises a detection block 71 and a handle 72 coupled to the detection block 71. The detection block 71 has an opening 710 formed at a front end thereof, and the focusing lens 40 is installed onto the opening 710. Specifically, the detection block 71 comprises a carrying base 711 and a cover 712 for covering the carrying base 711. The carrying base 711 is coupled to the handle 72, and the cover 712 has the opening 710 and combines with the focusing lens 40.

[0029] With reference to FIG. 8 for a lens device of another embodiment of this disclosure, the hood 60′ and the lens barrel 31 are two separate components. The hood 60′ is coupled to the lens barrel 31 and extends to the outside from a front edge of the lens barrel 31. Therefore, the hood 60′ can block any light reflected from the reflector 50 and prevent the light from entering into the lens barrel 31 directly, so as to improve the image quality.

[0030] It is noteworthy that the length of the hood 60′ extending from the front edge of the lens barrel 31 to the outside can be adjusted according to actual requirements in order to prevent any unnecessary light from entering into the lens barrel 31.

[0031] While this disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure set forth in the claims.
