[0049] The core of the utility model is to disclose a lens device to realize low-cost continuous zooming of the lens device.
[0050] The following is an explanation of the embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not limit the contents of the utility model described in the claims. In addition, the entire contents of the structures represented by the following embodiments are not limited to those necessary as solutions of the utility model described in the claims. It should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to the utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0051] Combination Figure 1-Figure 11 The lens device disclosed in the utility model comprises a lens base 100, a lens pressure cover 200 and an elastic film 300. A first partition 110 is provided on the lens base 100; the lens pressure cover 200 is connected to the lens base 100 and is provided with a second partition 210 corresponding to the first partition 110; the elastic film 300 comprises an outer peripheral elastic part 320 and an intermediate elastic part 310 provided in the middle of the outer peripheral elastic part 320, the outer peripheral elastic part 320 is pressed between the lens base 100 and the lens pressure cover 200, and the intermediate elastic part 310 is pressed between the first partition 110 and the second partition 210. Among them, a refractive deformation space 101 is formed between the middle elastic part 310 of the elastic film 300 and the first partition part 110, and a deformation buffer space 201 is formed between the middle elastic part 310 and the second partition part 210. A driving space 202 is formed between the peripheral elastic part 320 of the elastic film 300 and the lens pressure cover 200, and a liquid supply space 102 is formed between the peripheral elastic part 320 of the elastic film 300 and the lens base 100. The driving space 202 is used to communicate with the air pressure control device 400, and the liquid supply space 102 is connected to the refractive deformation space 101 and is filled with a refractive liquid medium.
[0052] The deformation buffer space 201 and the driving space 202 are filled with air medium, and the refractive liquid medium uses a highly transparent liquid to simulate the lens as a refractive body. The air in the deformation buffer space 201 serves as a buffer medium for the deformation of the middle elastic part 310 of the elastic film 300, and the air in the driving space 202 serves as an air pressure medium for the deformation of the peripheral elastic part 320 of the driving elastic film 300.
[0053] When the air pressure control device 400 applies pressure to the driving space 202, the outer elastic part 320 of the elastic film 300 is deformed, and the refractive liquid medium in the liquid supply space 102 is squeezed into the refractive deformation space 101, so that the middle elastic part 310 of the elastic film 300 is convexly deformed in the direction where the second partition 210 is located; when the air pressure control device 400 releases the pressure in the driving space 202, the outer elastic part 320 of the elastic film 300 is deformed, (part of) the refractive liquid medium enters the liquid supply space 102 from the refractive deformation space 101, and the middle elastic part 310 of the elastic film 300 is convexly deformed in the direction where the first partition 110 is located. That is, the air pressure control device 400 generates a pressure difference between the liquid supply space 102 and the driving space 202, thereby squeezing the refractive liquid medium to force the refractive liquid medium and the elastic film 300 to deform together, and produce a refractive effect similar to a concave-convex lens.
[0054] Compared with the prior art, the lens device disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model imitates the principle of focusing of the eye lens, and drives the air pressure change of the air medium through the air pressure control device 400 to change the position of the refractive liquid medium, so that the middle elastic part 310 of the elastic film 300 can be deformed in different directions to achieve a deformation effect similar to that of the lens. The utility model can be applied to a variety of applications such as human eye vision training, assisting industrial lenses to quickly focus on objects, and providing depth of field information for camera modeling. It has the advantages of simple structure, continuous zoom, small size, convenient electrical control, and fast adjustment.
[0055] The lens base 100 and the lens cover 200 (including the first partition 110 and the second partition 210) are both rigid components. The elastic film 300 is made of elastic material so as to be able to confine the refractive liquid medium in the liquid supply space 102 and the refractive deformation space 101 and provide a restoring force. The middle elastic part 310 is made of a light-transmitting material and can produce a light-transmitting effect to ensure the refraction effect of light in the refractive deformation space 101.
[0056] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first partition 110 is convexly disposed on the lens substrate 100. When the lens film is pressed between the lens substrate 100 and the lens pressure cover 200, the liquid supply space 102 is a ring structure with a triangular cross-section.
[0057] Specifically, the air pressure control device 400 may be an air pump, preferably a micro air pump, and the air pump may be connected to the lens base 100 via a bracket 410 .
[0058] Combination Figure 1 An air supply hole 203 connected to the air pressure control device 400 is provided on the outer wall of the lens pressure cover 200, and a first air channel 112 and a second air channel 212 are respectively provided on the side surfaces where the lens base 100 and the lens pressure cover 200 are in contact with each other. The positions of the first air channel 112 and the second air channel 212 correspond to each other and are connected to the driving space 202 (air supply hole 203) and the air pressure control device 400.
[0059] A first glass plane mirror 600 corresponding to the position of the middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 is arranged on the lens base 100, and the first glass plane mirror 600, the first partition 110 and the middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 together form a refractive deformation space 101; a second glass plane mirror 500 corresponding to the position of the middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 is arranged on the lens pressure cover 200, and the second glass plane mirror 500, the second partition 210 and the middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 together form a deformation buffer space 201.
[0060] The first glass plane mirror 600 and the second glass plane mirror 500 are both light-transmissive, and can protect the elastic film 300 from damage without affecting imaging.
[0061] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 A plurality of stepped positioning steps 211 are provided on the inner wall of the second partition 210. Different positioning steps 211 can be used to install second glass plane mirrors 500 of different sizes, and adjust the distance between the second glass plane mirror 500 and the elastic film 300, adjust the size of the deformation buffer space 201, and further adjust the size of the air pressure in the deformation buffer space 201, so as to facilitate the diopter calibration of the lens device.
[0062] In order to achieve free flow of the refractive liquid medium between the liquid supply space 102 and the refractive deformation space 101 , a plurality of connecting grooves 111 are evenly opened in the circumferential direction of the first partition 110 , and the connecting grooves 111 connect the liquid supply space 102 and the refractive deformation space 101 .
[0063] The lens base 100 and the lens cover 200 jointly constrain the shape of the elastic film 300. Figure 8 The middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 is preferably circular, and the peripheral elastic portion 320 is annular, so as to ensure the consistency of deformation of the elastic film 300 at various locations when subjected to force, and to ensure that the deformation of the middle elastic portion 310 can simulate the hemispherical change of the lens.
[0064] Correspondingly, the first partition 110 and the second partition 210 are cylindrical in shape as a whole.
[0065] In order to facilitate the connection between the lens gland 200 and the lens base 100, one of the lens base 100 and the lens gland 200 is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other is provided with a positioning hole for the positioning protrusion to be embedded. The lens gland 200 and the lens base 100 can be connected by bolts / screws, and the elastic film 300 can be used as a seal to prevent the refractive liquid medium from flowing out of the liquid supply space 102 and the refractive deformation space 101.
[0066] A specific zoom operation process of the utility model is as follows: the electrically controlled air pump draws air into the driving space 202, the air in the driving space 202 compresses the peripheral elastic portion 320 of the elastic film 300, and squeezes the refractive liquid medium in the liquid supply space 102 to overflow into the refractive deformation space 101, and the increase of the refractive liquid medium in the refractive deformation space 101 causes the middle elastic portion 310 of the elastic film 300 to expand into the deformation buffer space 201, forming a convex lens.
[0067] After the driving space 202 is deflated, the refractive liquid medium in the liquid supply space 102 is reset under the elastic action of the middle elastic portion 310 .
[0068] The electrically controlled air pump draws air, driving the air pressure in the space 202 and the liquid supply space 102 to be unbalanced, causing the refractive liquid medium to flow from the refractive deformation space 101 to the liquid supply space 102, and the middle elastic portion 310 is recessed toward the first partition 110 to form a concave lens. Different diopters can be achieved by controlling the air pressure of the air pump through the host computer, and the purpose of rapid focusing can be achieved by changing the diopters of the lens device.
[0069] The lens device disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model has multiple applications: (1) Vision training. The utility model is installed in a bracket suitable for the head. The diopter of the lens device is controlled by software to change slowly. When the human eye observes objects through the lens device, it will be forced to adapt to different degrees of myopia or hyperopia. After a period of cycle, it plays a role in training the ciliary muscle. (2) Assisting camera focus. Some industrial cameras need to focus on objects at different distances. The use of the utility model can replace the traditional bulky optical lens and realize the fast focus of a smaller lens device. (3) Structural modeling. After calibration, the utility model can give the diopter of the current lens according to the focus position after visual adjustment, and then reversely calculate the structural depth information.
