Surgical Lamp Design Based on LED Diffuse Transmission Illumination System

In this article, we have designed a surgical light lens especially for oral surgical illumination. It provides a uniform and wide field of view for illumination during oral surgery. The support system, a set of LEDs and a double free-form surface constituted the lighting system. The double free-form surface is composed of traditional free-form surface, designed total internal reflection lens and diffuse transmission plate, which improves the optical performance of the LED. When the light keeps dispersing the pupil constriction, it eventually causes our eyes to fatigue. The purpose of increasing diffuse transmission is to make the emitted light softer, thus making peoples’ eyes feel more comfortable. Based on the problems mentioned above, a numerical method is proposed as the basis for designing the double free-form surface. First, establishing a mathematical model based on the characteristics of the transmissive surface and the property of the LED. Henceforth, the nonlinear equations for the illumination distribution of the outside surface can be deduced. By solving the equation, the contour of the free-form surface is obtained. Later, we imported the contour into the 3D modeling software Solidworks to rotate so as to get the corresponding model. Finally, the simulation results suggest that the optical uniformity of the double free-form surface is able to reach as much as 86.18%.
