Specific embodiments

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings through specific embodiments.

[0027] An embodiment of the present invention provides a lens holder, such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, it includes a first outer ring 11, a first fixing ring 21 and a first inner ring 31. The first outer ring 11, the first fixing ring 21 and the first inner ring 31 are coaxially arranged, and the first outer ring 11, the first fixing ring 21 and the first inner ring 31 all have a certain thickness. The first outer ring 11, the first fixing ring 21 and the first inner ring 31 each include an outer side surface and an inner side surface, and the outer side surfaces and inner side surfaces of the three are all toroidal. A first outer ring groove 211 is provided on the outer side surface of the first fixing ring 21. The first outer ring groove 211 can surround the outer side surface of the first fixing ring 21 for one week. A first inner ring groove 212 is provided on the inner side surface of the first fixing ring 21. The first inner ring groove 212 can surround the inner side surface of the first fixing ring 21 for one week, and the first outer ring groove 211 and the first inner ring groove 212 are both coaxially arranged with the first fixing ring 21. There is a preset distance between the first outer ring groove 211 and the first inner ring groove 212. The inner diameter of the first outer ring 11 is smaller than the outer diameter of the first fixing ring 21. The first outer ring 11 is arranged in the first outer ring groove 211 and can rotate in the first outer ring groove 211. The outer diameter of the first inner ring 31 is larger than the inner diameter of the first fixing ring 21. The first inner ring 31 is arranged in the first inner ring groove 212 and can rotate in the first inner ring groove 212. A magnet 14 is provided on the first outer ring 11. The first inner ring 31 can be adsorbed by the magnet 14 and is linked with the first outer ring 11. At the same time, a lens is fixed on the first inner ring 31. When the user rotates the first outer ring 11, due to the adsorption force of the magnet 14, the first inner ring 31 will also rotate accordingly, thereby driving the lens to rotate.

[0028] In one embodiment, the entire first inner ring 31 is made of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnet 14, such as metal materials like iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. In this way, the first inner ring 31 can be adsorbed by the magnet 14 at any angle set in the first inner ring groove 212. In another embodiment, the first inner ring 31 cannot be adsorbed by the magnet 14, but an intermediate member that can be adsorbed by the magnet 14 is fixed on the first inner ring 31. The intermediate member can be a metal body that can be adsorbed by the magnet 14 or a magnetic material that is magnetically attracted to the magnet 14. As long as the intermediate member and the magnet 14 are located in the same radial direction, the magnet 14 can still adsorb the first inner ring 31.

[0029] In one embodiment, a groove 13 is provided on the inner side surface of the first outer ring 11, and the magnet 14 is arranged in the groove 13. In this way, the magnet 14 does not occupy the space inside the first outer ring 11, enabling the first outer ring 11 to rotate smoothly in the first outer ring groove 211.

[0030] In one embodiment, multiple grooves 13 can be provided, and the multiple grooves 13 are evenly distributed on the inner side surface of the first outer ring 11. A magnet 14 is arranged in each groove 13, and the magnets 14 are evenly distributed on the first outer ring 11. Thus, the adsorption force on the first inner ring 31 is more uniform, enabling the first inner ring 31 to remain stable during rotation.

[0031] In one embodiment, the lens is fixed in the frame. A plurality of magnetic members are provided on the frame, and the magnetic members are adsorbed and fixed on the first inner ring 31, specifically, they can be adsorbed and fixed on the upper surface or the lower surface of the first inner ring 31, so that the lens can be fixed on the first inner ring 31. The lens may include a circular progressive lens or a polarizing lens, and may also include other filters.

[0032] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two lenses may be provided, namely a first lens 51 and a second lens 52. Correspondingly, the first lens 51 is fixed in the first frame 41, and the second lens 52 is fixed in the second frame 42.

Such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, it includes a first ring plate 213, a second ring plate 214 and a connecting cylinder 215 arranged coaxially. The connecting cylinder 215 is disposed on the lower surface of the first ring plate 213 and extends axially downward along the first ring plate 213. The first ring plate 213 has a part located inside the connecting cylinder 215 and also has a part located outside the connecting cylinder 215. The second ring plate 214 is detachably connected to the lower end of the connecting cylinder 215. In this way, the first outer ring 11 can be sleeved on the connecting cylinder 215, the first inner ring 31 can be disposed inside the connecting cylinder 215, and then the connecting cylinder 215 is connected to the second ring plate 214, and the structure of the first fixing ring 21 as shown in Figure 3 can be formed.

[0036] In one embodiment, the connecting cylinder 215 can be located at the middle position between the inner side surface and the outer side surface of the first ring plate 213, so that the cross-sectional shapes of the connecting cylinder 215 and the first ring plate 213 can be in a T shape.

[0037] In one embodiment, a specific structure is provided for detachably connecting the second ring plate 214 to the lower end of the connecting tube 215. The inner side surface of the lower end of the connecting tube 215 protrudes radially inward, and the outer side surface of the lower end of the connecting tube 215 protrudes radially outward to form a clamping head 216. A clamping groove 217 is provided on the upper surface of the second ring plate 214, and the clamping groove 217 can surround the second ring plate 214, and the clamping head 216 can be detachably clamped in the clamping groove 217.

A second outer ring groove is arranged on the outer side surface of the second fixing ring 22, and the second outer ring groove can surround the outer side surface of the second fixing ring 22 for one circle, and a second inner ring groove is arranged on the inner side surface of the second fixing ring 22, and the second outer ring groove and the second inner ring groove are both coaxially arranged with the second fixing ring 22, and the second outer ring groove and the second inner ring groove are spaced by a preset distance. The inner diameter of the second outer ring 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second fixing ring 22, and the second outer ring 12 is arranged in the second outer ring groove and can rotate in the second outer ring groove. The outer diameter of the second inner ring 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the second fixed ring 22. The second inner ring 32 is arranged in the second inner ring groove and can rotate in the second inner ring groove. A magnetic body is arranged on the second outer ring 12. The second inner ring 32 can be adsorbed by the magnetic body and linked with the second outer ring 12. At the same time, a lens is fixed on the second inner ring 32. When the user rotates the second outer ring 12, due to the adsorption force of the magnetic body, the second inner ring 32 will also rotate, thereby driving the lens to rotate. At the same time, the second fixed ring 22 is detachably fixed to the surface of the first fixed ring 21. In this way, it is equivalent to combining the two lens holders of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the lens can be expanded according to actual needs, which greatly increases the compatibility of the lens combination, and the combination of multiple lens holders can further expand the advantage of the small thickness of the lens holder.

[0039] In one embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, an upper connecting ring 101 is provided on the upper surface of the first fixing ring 21, and a lower connecting ring 102 is provided on the lower surface of the second fixing ring 22.

The upper connecting ring 101 and the lower connecting ring 102 are threadedly connected, so that the second fixing ring 22 is detachably fixed to the surface of the first fixing ring 21.

[0040] In one embodiment, the entire second inner ring 32 is made of a material that can be adsorbed by a magnetic body, such as metal materials like iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. In this way, the second inner ring 32 can be adsorbed by the magnetic body at any angle when it is disposed in the second inner ring groove. In another embodiment, the second inner ring 32 cannot be adsorbed by the magnetic body, but an intermediate member that can be adsorbed by the magnetic body is fixed on the second inner ring 32. The intermediate member can be a metal body that can be adsorbed by the magnetic body or a magnetic material that magnetically attracts the magnetic body. As long as the intermediate member and the magnetic body are in the same radial direction, the magnetic body can still adsorb the second inner ring 32.

[0041] In one embodiment, a placement groove is provided on the inner side surface of the second outer ring 12, and the magnetic body is disposed in the placement groove. In this way, the magnetic body does not occupy the space inside the second outer ring 12, enabling the second outer ring 12 to rotate smoothly in the second outer ring groove.

[0042] In one embodiment, multiple placement grooves can be provided, and the multiple placement grooves are evenly distributed on the inner side surface of the second outer ring 12. A magnetic body is disposed in each placement groove, and the magnetic bodies are evenly distributed on the second outer ring 12.
