[0002] In the assembly of traditional optical lens barrels, the pressure ring dispensing process has long dominated. However, this method has many disadvantages. On the one hand, the procurement, processing and assembly procedures of the pressure ring are cumbersome, which not only increases the cost of parts management, but also prolongs the production cycle, seriously restricts the improvement of production efficiency, and is difficult to meet the market demand for rapid iteration and large-scale production of modern optical products. On the other hand, the pressure ring structure is susceptible to factors such as temperature changes and mechanical vibrations during long-term use, resulting in a decrease in the assembly accuracy between the lens and the lens barrel, which in turn causes fluctuations in optical performance, such as image blur and optical axis offset. This reduces product reliability and stability, increases after-sales maintenance costs and user troubles. Therefore, the development of a new and efficient lens fixing structure has become a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the field of optical manufacturing. Summary of the invention
