Abstract

This invention discloses a vein detection device, comprising a base, a transmitter, a detection arm and at least one receiver. The emitter is an infrared emitter which comprises a fisheye lens. An exposure portion close to the fisheye lens of the transmitter is exposed by an infrared light, thus the infrared light transforms into an infrared image which is received by the at least one receiver. A vein image is displayed on a screen which is configured on the base.

Claims (22)

1. A vein detection device, comprising:

a base;

a transmitter configured on said base, wherein said transmitter emits an infrared light to said exposed portion;

a detection arm configured on said base;

a first receiver configured on said detection arm to receive a first infrared light image coming from said exposed portion, wherein said first infrared light image is converted from said infrared light; and

a display configured on said base and electrically connected with said first receiver to display a first vein image converted from said first infrared light image;

wherein said transmitter includes a lens;

wherein said display is provided with a first image filtering module to connect with said first receiver;

wherein said first image filtering module includes combination of a filter and a digital signal processor;

wherein said lens is a fisheye lens;

wherein said detection arm comprises a built-in wireless communication transceiver module;

wherein said detection arm is detachably removed from the base;

wherein said detection arm communicates with the base and the first receiver, allowing the first receiver to detect the first infrared light image coming from said exposed portion in a free direction.

2. The vein detection device of claim 1 , wherein said base is wired or wireless connected with a head-mounted display, wherein said head-mounted display is provided with a second receiver to receive a second infrared light image coming from said exposed portion such that said second infrared light image is converted as a second vein image to display on said head-mounted display;

wherein said second infrared light image includes a first brightness interval image, a vein brightness interval image and a second brightness interval image, wherein a brightness of said first brightness interval image is higher than that of said vein brightness interval image, and a brightness of said vein brightness interval image is higher than that of said second brightness interval image, wherein said head-mounted display includes a second image filtering module connected to said second receiver to filter out said first brightness interval image and said second brightness interval image such that said vein brightness interval image is formed to be said second vein image;

wherein said second image filtering module includes combination of said filter and said digital signal processor.

3. The vein detection device of claim 2 , wherein said first receiver or said second receiver is an infrared camera.

4. The vein detection device of claim 2 , wherein one of said first receiver and said second receiver is arranged on a straight line with said exposed portion and said transmitter.

5. The vein detection device of claim 1 , wherein said first infrared light image includes a first brightness interval image, a vein brightness interval image and a second brightness interval image, wherein a brightness of said first brightness interval image is higher than that of said vein brightness interval image, and a brightness of said vein brightness interval image is higher than that of said second brightness interval image.

6. The vein detection device of claim 5 , wherein said first image filtering module is filtered out said first brightness interval image and said second brightness interval image such that said vein brightness interval image is formed to be said first vein image.

7. The vein detection device of claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary transmitter connected to said base to emit an auxiliary infrared light to irradiate said exposed portion.

8. The vein detection device of claim 1 , wherein said detection arm includes a joint portion.
