For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0018] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0019] Example 1 Due to the characteristics of the crank slider mechanism: a mechanism for converting rotary motion into long-stroke linear motion, poor space compactness and motion stability; while the demand for lens focusing is short-stroke, high-precision, high-stability, ultra-compact. Therefore, the thread focusing and cam focusing have absolute advantages in precision, feel, space utilization and reliability, and become the preferred structure of the technical personnel in the field of optical focusing. Therefore, the technical personnel will have inherent thinking from the performance principle: the crank slider mechanism is not suitable for application to the lens focusing.
[0020] But in this embodiment, it is through the use of the characteristics of the crank slider mechanism and improvement, to improve the defects of the crank slider mechanism applied to the field of lens focusing, so that the crank slider mechanism can be adapted to the field of lens focusing.
[0021] The embodiment specifically discloses a kind of crank focusing lens focusing mechanism, including detector 2, focusing lens barrel 3, focusing mirror 8, focusing mirror seat 7, crank drive motor 1 and crank slider mechanism; Crank drive motor 1, detector 2 and focusing lens barrel 3 are sequentially fixedly connected;Specifically, crank drive motor 1 is fixed to the side of detector 2 away from focusing lens barrel 3 by screw; The output shaft 9 of crank drive motor 1 is connected with the focusing mirror 8 to be focused by the crank slider mechanism, so that the focusing mirror 8 moves in the focusing lens barrel 3.
[0022] Crank slider mechanism specifically adopts eccentric crank slider mechanism.
[0023] Crank slider mechanism is composed of focusing crank 4 and focusing connecting rod 5 connected in sequence; The groove opened in one end of focusing crank 4 and the key sleeve on the output shaft 9 perpendicular to one end of focusing crank 4 are connected and meshed with each other; The other end of focusing crank 4 is hinged with focusing connecting rod 5.
[0024] Specifically: It should be noted that in order to overcome the above inherent thinking, therefore, in this embodiment, crank drive motor is arranged at the other end of detector 2 away from focusing lens barrel 3, the size of detector 2 is utilized, and the size of focusing crank 4 is selected according to the actual size of detector 2 to improve the application defects of the above-mentioned crank slider mechanism. And by adopting the setting that crank drive motor 1 drives crank slider mechanism to work, the crank slider mechanism originally without self-locking function has self-locking property, and focusing is more flexible.
[0025] And, further in this embodiment, the crank slider mechanism adopts eccentric design, which makes the overall crank slider mechanism have quick-return characteristics, so that the focusing mirror 8 can quickly respond to the accurate positioning of focusing demand, and adapt to high-speed lens that needs fast focusing. In the embodiment, the focusing mechanism of the lens focusing mechanism further comprises a focusing guide column 6; A linear sliding groove coaxial with the output shaft 9 is formed on the focusing lens barrel 3. One end of the focusing guide column 6 is rotatably connected with the focusing connecting rod 5, and the other end is connected with the focusing lens 8 in the focusing lens barrel 3. Specifically, one end of the focusing guide column 6 is connected with the focusing connecting rod 5 through a pin. One end of the focusing guide column 6 is provided with a bearing and is connected with the focusing connecting rod 5 through the focusing connecting rod 5.
[0026] Inside the focusing lens barrel 3: The focusing lens seat 7 is slidably connected with the focusing lens barrel 3. The focusing lens 8 is installed on the focusing lens seat 7. The focusing guide column 6 is indirectly connected with the focusing lens 8 through the focusing lens seat 7.
[0027] The relationship between the displacement of the focusing guide column 6 and the rotation angle of the focusing crank 4 is expressed as: ; In the formula: represents the displacement of the focusing guide column 6; is the length of the focusing crank 4; is the length of the focusing connecting rod 5; is the rotation angle of the focusing crank 4; is the eccentricity of the linear sliding groove of the focusing lens barrel 3 and the output shaft 9; The stroke of the linear sliding groove is greater than or equal to the displacement of the focusing guide column 6.
[0028] Embodiment 2 Based on embodiment 1, the following specific workflow is further disclosed in this embodiment: Start the crank driving motor 1 to drive the focusing crank 4 to rotate around the output shaft 9. The other end of the focusing crank 4 is connected with one end of the focusing connecting rod 5 through a pin, and the rotation of the focusing crank 4 drives the focusing connecting rod 5 to swing and further drives the focusing connecting rod 5 to swing around the focusing guide column 6.
[0029] The swinging of the focusing connecting rod 5 drives the focusing guide column 6 to reciprocate in the linear sliding groove. The linear sliding groove plays a role of auxiliary guide in the focusing process, and the linear sliding groove converts the swinging of the focusing connecting rod 5 into the linear motion of the focusing lens seat 7 through the focusing guide column 6. In addition, since the focusing crank 4 can continuously rotate, the difficulty of servo control can be reduced, and the crank driving motor 1 will not appear the phenomenon of locked rotor, which can effectively reduce the failure rate.
[0030] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely example for clearly illustrating but not limitation to the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. Here, all the embodiments need not and can not be enumerated. The obvious changes or variations derived from the above description are still within the protection scope of the present application.
