Specifically, one end of the elastic connector 16 is fixed on the rotating shaft 13, and the other end is fixed on the part of the mounting plate 11 in the direction of the center radial line of the arc-shaped slot 111. Usually, the position where the elastic connector 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11 is set on the side of the arc-shaped slot 111 away from the knob 12; the transmission connection between the knob 12 and the transmission gear 14 is achieved in the following manner: a driving gear 121 coaxially arranged therewith is fixedly connected to the side of the knob 12, and the driving gear is meshed with the transmission gear 14 to achieve the transmission connection between the knob 12 and the transmission gear 14; of course, since the arc-shaped slot 111 is concentrically arranged with the knob 12, a belt can also be set between the rotating shaft 13 and the rotating part of the knob 12, and the transmission connection between the knob 12 and the transmission gear 14 can also be achieved by transmitting the power through the belt.

[0038] A fixing ring 15 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 13 passing through the arc-shaped slide groove 111, and a flexible lining ring 18 is provided between the fixing ring 15 and the rotating shaft 13, so as to realize the installation of the rotating shaft 13 at the arc-shaped slide groove 111. Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 can be fixedly connected with the transmission gear 14; or the rotating shaft 13 directly passes through the transmission gear 14, and the transmission gear 14 and the rotating shaft 13 can rotate relative to each other, and a limiting part is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 13 to prevent the transmission gear 14 from falling off the rotating shaft 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, a fixing column 113 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 11 corresponding to the end of the rotating shaft 13 passing through the arc-shaped slide groove 111, and the elastic connecting member 16 is connected to the fixing column 113.

The adjustment gear 42 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 41. The knob 12 can drive the threaded rod 41 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 41 is rotationally connected to the lens barrel assembly and transmission-connected to the display assembly, when at least two threaded rods 41 between the lens barrel assembly and the display assembly rotate, the display assembly slides along the threaded rod 41 to achieve focal length adjustment. After the pupil distance is adjusted, the lens barrel assembly The position of the lens barrel assembly changes, and the lens barrel assembly moves toward or away from the knob adjustment mechanism, and the distance between the transmission gear 14 and the focus adjustment gear 42 changes.
