Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lens barrel adjustment, in particular to a lens barrel adjustment mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The optical lens tube focuses the light of the target object through the objective lens system, amplifies the light through the eyepiece system, and achieves clear imaging through the focusing system. In this way, the observer can see a magnified and clear image of the target object. The focusing or dimming function can be achieved by adjusting the distance between the two lenses in the optical lens tube.

[0003] The prior art publication number is CN219143175U, which is a lens barrel, comprising a front barrel, a middle barrel and a rear barrel, wherein one end of the front barrel is threadedly connected to the middle barrel, and one end of the middle barrel is threadedly connected to the rear barrel, annular locking grooves are provided on the surface of the front barrel near the position where the front barrel is threadedly connected to the middle barrel and on the outer surface of the middle barrel near the position where the front barrel is threadedly connected to the rear barrel, and a second anti-slip friction pad is fixed to the inner bottom wall of the annular locking groove.

[0004] Although the lens barrel can prevent accidental rotation between the barrels, the adjustment steps are relatively cumbersome. Compared with the original lens barrel, two more steps of releasing the limit and re-tightening are added, which reduces the adjustment efficiency. At the same time, when adjusting, the three barrels lack limiters. When rotating the middle barrel, it is necessary to hold the barrels on both sides to prevent it from rotating, which makes the adjustment operation inconvenient. When rotating the barrels at both ends, although only the middle barrel needs to be held, two adjustments are required, which reduces the adjustment efficiency. Therefore, improvements are proposed. Utility Model Content
