Lens assembly Specific embodiments

[0023] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments

[0024] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application and should not be construed as a limitation of the present application

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in one embodiment, a lens structure with an adjustable core includes a first lens group 4, a second lens group 7, a main cylinder 6 and an adjusting cylinder 8. The first lens group 4 and the second lens group 7 are slidably installed inside the main cylinder 6. A plurality of driving PIN feet 5 are installed on the surfaces of the first lens group 4 and the second lens group 7. Straight grooves 62 corresponding to the plurality of driving PIN feet 5 on the first lens group 4 and the second lens group 7 are formed on the surface of the main cylinder 6. The adjusting cylinder 8 is sleeved outside the main cylinder 6, and the adjusting cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the main cylinder 6. A first group curve groove 82 and a second group curve groove 83 corresponding to the plurality of driving PIN feet 5 on the first lens group 4 and the second lens group 7 are formed on the surface of the adjusting cylinder 8. One end of the main cylinder 6 close to the second lens group 7 is detachably connected to a first joint 9. One end of the first joint 9 close to the second lens group 7 is in contact connection with one end of the adjusting cylinder 8. The other end of the first joint 9 is detachably connected to a second joint 10, and the second joint 10 is used for connecting to a camera

[0026] In this embodiment, there are 4 straight slots 62, a group of curved slots 82 and a second group of curved slots 83, which are evenly distributed at 90°. The driving PIN foot 5 is located in the straight slot 62, the first group of curved slots 82 and the second group of curved slots 83. The driving PIN foot 5 can drive the first lens group 4 and the second lens group 7 to move along their respective curved slots, so that the lens accurately changes the magnification. The straight slot 62 is used for guiding and limiting the driving PIN foot 5 during movement.

[0027] In this embodiment, it makes up for the limitation that the conventional zoom lens can only adjust the lens centering at a fixed magnification, so that the lens can perform centering adjustment within the entire magnification range.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 6 , in one embodiment, both ends of the main cylinder 6 are provided with threads, and one end of the main cylinder 6 close to the second lens group 7 is threadedly connected to the first joint 9.

[0029] In this embodiment, the connection and fixation between the second lens group 7 and the first joint 9 can be realized by providing threads.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 6 , in one embodiment, one end of the first joint 9 close to the second joint 10 is provided with a V-shaped bayonet 90. The first joint 9 and the second joint 10 are snap-connected through the V-shaped bayonet 90, and a plurality of screws 11 are provided at the position of the V-shaped bayonet 90 on the second joint 10.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lens assembly 100 includes a fixed cylinder 1, a zoom cylinder 2, a first lens group 4, a group of lens barrels, a main cylinder 6, a second lens group 7, an adjustment cylinder 8 and a first joint 9. The V-shaped bayonet 90 can connect the entire lens assembly 100 to the camera to achieve 360° angle adjustment. Before centering adjustment, the appropriate working angle between the camera and the lens can be found first, fixed with the set screws 11, and then the centering adjustment operation can be carried out.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , in one embodiment, the outer surface of the adjustment cylinder 8 is sleeved with a zoom cylinder 2. One end of the main cylinder 6 close to the first lens group 4 is threadedly connected to the fixed cylinder 1. The zoom cylinder 2 is located between the fixed cylinder 1 and the first joint 9. A first locking member 3 is installed between the zoom cylinder 2 and the adjustment cylinder 8. The first locking member 3 penetrates the adjustment cylinder 8, and the first locking member 3 is used to connect and fix the main cylinder 6, the zoom cylinder 2 and the adjustment cylinder 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, by providing a zoom barrel 2, the appearance can be kept beautiful after assembly. When adjusting the magnification, due to the locking effect of the first locking member 3, only by rotating the zoom barrel 2 can the adjustment barrel 8 be directly driven to rotate, thereby changing the lens magnification. The first locking member 3 can be a knurled locking screw. By loosening the knurled locking screw, rotating the zoom barrel 2 will drive the adjustment barrel 8 to rotate, so that the magnification can be adjusted. After the magnification adjustment is completed, tightening the knurled locking screw can fix the magnification. Through the first locking member 3, the force acting on the zoom barrel 2 can be transmitted to the adjustment barrel 8, and at the same time, the zoom barrel 2 and the adjustment barrel 8 can be locked and fixed.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in one embodiment, the first lens group 4 includes a first lens barrel 41 and a sensitive lens group 42. The sensitive lens group 42 is installed in the first lens barrel 41. A plurality of second locking members 45 are provided on the first lens barrel 41. The second locking members 45 are used to align and fix the sensitive lens group 42. A core alignment clearance straight groove 61 corresponding to the second locking member 45 is formed on the surface of the main barrel 6, and a core alignment clearance curved groove 81 corresponding to the second locking member 45 is formed on the surface of the adjustment barrel 8. The second locking members 45 and the transmission PIN feet 5 are arranged alternately. A dispensing hole 46 penetrating the first lens barrel 41 is provided on one side of the second locking member 45.

[0035] In this embodiment, core alignment gaps 43 are provided at both ends of the sensitive lens group 42. There are 4 core alignment clearance straight grooves 61 and 4 core alignment clearance curved grooves 81, and they are evenly distributed at 90°. The second locking members 45 and the dispensing holes 46 are located in the core alignment clearance straight grooves 61 and the core alignment clearance curved grooves 81. During the zooming process, the relative positions of the core alignment clearance curved groove 81 and a group of curved grooves 82 remain unchanged, ensuring that the core alignment operation can always be performed during the zooming process and avoiding interference.

[0036] The second locking member 45 can be a set screw 11. There are 4 second locking members 45, and they are evenly distributed at 90°. The sensitive lens group 42 is aligned by 4 set screws 11 on the side of the first lens barrel 41. When adjusted to the best position, tighten the set screws 11, and inject glue through the dispensing holes 46 to fix the sensitive lens group 42.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 , in one embodiment, gaskets 44 are provided on both sides of the sensitive lens group 42. The material of the gaskets 44 is stainless steel.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the sensitive lens group 42 is assembled, gaskets 44 made of stainless steel are respectively placed on the left and right sides. The gaskets 44 are available in various thickness specifications and are used to adjust the air gap between the sensitive lens group 42 and the left and right lenses. The gaskets 44 have low roughness, which can reduce the resistance during the core adjustment operation and facilitate the core adjustment.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 , in one embodiment, the end of the second joint 10 away from the first joint 9 is provided with a thread.

[0040] In this embodiment, the provision of the thread facilitates the connection of the second joint 10 to the camera.
