[0057] The fixed end of the driving structure 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell body 23, and the movable end of the driving structure 2 is fixedly connected to the lower guide rail mechanism 9.

The plurality of rectangular protrusions 16 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of rectangular holes 17. The inner shell body 4 and the lower metal shell 5, and the inner shell body 23 and the upper metal shell 6 are fixed by the interference fit between the rectangular protrusions 16 and the rectangular holes 17.

[0060] As an alternative embodiment, holes 14 are respectively provided at the centers of the upper guide rail mechanism 3 and the lower guide rail mechanism 9. The Alvarez lens 1 is fixedly connected within the hole 14 of the upper guide rail mechanism 3, and the Alvarez lens 2 is fixedly connected within the hole 14 of the lower guide rail mechanism 9.

[0061] The holes 14 machined in the middle of the upper guide rail mechanism 3 and the lower guide rail mechanism 9 are used to fix the Alvarez lens.

[0062] As an alternative embodiment, through holes are provided at the centers of the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23, and also at the centers of the lower metal housing 5 and the upper metal housing 6, and a plurality of through holes are coaxially arranged.

[0063] The first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23 are used to constrain the upper guide mechanism 3 and the lower guide mechanism 9, and the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged about the center.

[0064] The first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23 are made by nylon injection molding process or precision micro-nano 3D forming and printing process, and the middle through hole is for light to pass through.

[0065] The first inner housing 4 has an L-shaped structure. A rectangular groove two 15 with an inclined angle is machined on the inner side of the vertical section of the first inner housing 4, and a plurality of rectangular protrusions 16 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the vertical section of the first inner housing 4.

[0066] The rectangular groove two 15 is used for sliding cooperation with the outer guide 12. Specifically, the rectangular groove two 15 of the first inner housing 4 is in sliding cooperation with the outer guide 12 of the lower guide mechanism 9, and the rectangular groove two 15 of the second inner housing 23 is in sliding cooperation with the outer guide 12 of the upper guide mechanism 3.

[0067] The rectangular groove two 15 enables the upper guide mechanism 3 and the lower guide mechanism 9 to slide relative to each other within the frame formed by the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23, and at the same time restricts the lateral movement.

[0068] As an alternative embodiment, both the first driving structure and the second driving structure are voice coil motors.

[0069] As an alternative embodiment, control boards are fixed on the inner walls of the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23. The control boards are electrically connected to the corresponding first driving structure and second driving structure through flexible cables 18, and the flexible cables 18 are used to transmit electrical signals for controlling the actions of the voice coil motors.

[0070] As an alternative embodiment, the voice coil motor includes a permanent magnet 8 and a coil 2. The coil 2 is electrically connected to the flexible cable 18. The coil 2 of one voice coil motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first inner housing 4, and the coil 2 of the other voice coil motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second inner housing 23;

[0071] The coil 2 is in transmission connection with the permanent magnet 8. The permanent magnet 8 of one voice coil motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower guide mechanism 9, and the permanent magnet 8 of the other voice coil motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper guide mechanism 3.

[0072] As an alternative embodiment, a Hall sensor 1 is provided between the coil 2 and the permanent magnet 8, and the Hall sensor 1 is fixedly arranged at the center of the coil 2.

[0073] On the outer sides of the upper guide rail mechanism 3 and the lower guide rail mechanism 9, grooves for fitting the permanent magnet 8 are machined. The grooves are located on the side away from the rectangular groove 11, and the permanent magnet 8 is fixed to the upper guide rail mechanism 3 and the lower guide rail mechanism 9 by dispensing glue.

[0074] On the inner sides of the vertical sections of the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23, flexible flat cables 18 are fixed by dispensing glue. The Hall sensor 1 and the coil 2 are integrated together through the flexible flat cable 18, and both the Hall sensor 1 and the coil 2 are fixedly connected to the corresponding first inner housing 4 or second inner housing 23.

[0075] During assembly, the coil 2 and the permanent magnet 8 are on the same horizontal line.

[0076] The rectangular protrusions 16 machined on the outer sides of the vertical sections of the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23 are used to cooperate with the rectangular holes 17 opened on the external lower metal housing 5 and the upper metal housing 6 to achieve alignment assembly and fixed by hot melt welding.

[0077] The structure for connecting and fixing the lower metal housing 5 and the upper metal housing 6 is bent from a metal thin plate into an L-shaped structure. The lower metal housing 5 and the upper metal housing 6 have the same structure and are symmetrically arranged about the center. Rectangular holes 17 are machined on the vertical sections of the lower metal housing 5 and the upper metal housing 6, which are used to cooperate with the rectangular protrusions 16 on the first inner housing 4 and the second inner housing 23 to achieve precise assembly and facilitate hot melt welding.

[0078] During operation, the internal upper and lower guide rail mechanisms move along the mutually engaged rectangular slide rails and the slide rails engaged with the inner housing along the slide rail direction. When the slide rail mechanism is machined, the roughness is controlled by chemical treatment, and a low-viscosity lubricating oil is used to make its movement smooth, avoiding jamming and wear.

[0079] When the present invention realizes precise focusing, first, the voice coil motor driven by the bidirectional drive current control IC pre-applies current to precisely control the initial position, which is used to compensate for the center alignment error during assembly.

[0080] Then, by applying forward current and reverse current respectively, the upper and lower guide rail mechanisms are driven by the Ampere force to drive the Alvarez lens to achieve lateral movement.

[0081] Figure 7 The figure shows a state of the Alvarez lens when pre-applying current. The Alvarez lens is in a symmetric state, and the lens group is equivalent to a flat glass, which neither diverges nor converges the incident light 19 to form the outgoing light 20.

[0082] Figure 8 The figure shows a state of the Alvarez lens when applying forward current. The Alvarez lens group is equivalent to a convex lens, which converges the incident light 19 to form the outgoing light 21.

[0083] Figure 9 Shown is a state of the Alvarez lens when a reverse current is applied. The Alvarez lens group is equivalent to a concave lens, which diverges the incident light 19 to form the outgoing light 22.

[0084] In summary, by precisely controlling the applied bidirectional current, driving the permanent magnet to drive the lateral movement of the Alvarez lens, and presenting different states of the Alvarez lens group, precise control of light is achieved, thereby achieving a zoom effect.

[0085] Compared with the traditional technology, the present application has the following advantages:

[0086] When the present invention operates, bidirectional fine currents are applied to the coils 2 on both the left and right sides. Under the action of the Ampere force, the two permanent magnets 8 are displaced. The permanent magnets 8 drive the upper and lower guide rail mechanisms to translate along the guide rail direction. The Hall sensor 1 senses the Gaussian quantity to accurately judge the relative position of the moving components and form a feedback signal. When the two coils 2 apply a forward current, the Alvarez lens undergoes relative movement to achieve light divergence; when a reverse current is applied, the Alvarez lens achieves light convergence; the Hall sensor 1 senses the positions of the two lenses and precisely controls the diopter of focusing and achieves fast dynamic response adjustment through closed-loop feedback.

[0087] The present invention realizes the relative constraint and displacement of the two Alvarez lenses through the cooperation of the rectangular chute guide rail mechanism.

[0088] The present invention controls the voice coil motor through a closed-loop control IC driven by a bidirectional current, which has good control flexibility. The specific method is to adjust the position in real time according to the current magnitude and Gaussian quantity to achieve dynamic fine adjustment during the focusing process. It is also possible to pre-apply a current to correct the position error and improve the motion accuracy. Therefore, the present invention can ensure that the Alvarez lens group realizes relative displacement at any position and distance, corrects the axial error in the lens assembly, and at the same time has a simple structure, strong controllability, and high reliability, and is suitable for the driving application of Alvarez zoom lenses.

[0089] The present invention adopts a lateral displacement zoom mechanism, occupies a small axial space, and can be combined with other spherical or aspherical lens groups to meet special performance requirements.

[0090] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0091] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
