DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to further understand the content of the utility model, the utility model is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments are only used to explain the utility model but not to limit it.

[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1 - 8 This embodiment is described in further detail.

[0029] See also Figures 1 - 8 A camera lens protection structure in this embodiment includes a protective tube 20 that can be detachably mounted on the outside of a lens body 10. A snap-on ring groove 201 is provided on the outer wall of the lens body 10 along its circumference. Both ends of the protective tube 20 are opened. A detachable plugging cover 40 is provided at the outer end of the protective tube 20. Retractable positioning members are evenly distributed inside the protective tube 20. The positioning members extend into the snap-on ring groove 201 to fix the protective tube 20 outside the lens body 10. A retractable telescopic tube 30 is also provided at the inner end of the protective tube 20.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lens body 10 is an existing zoom lens, one end of which forms a card interface 202 that is detachably connected to a camera. A focus ring 210 for adjusting the focal length is disposed outside the lens body 10. When the lens body 10 is installed on a camera, a protective tube 20 is mounted on the lens body 10 to protect it.

[0031] The protective tube 20 is opened at both ends, one end of which is the inner end, so that the protective tube 20 is mounted on the other end of the lens body 10, and the other end is the outer end for detachable installation of the blocking cover 40;

[0032] In actual use, a transparent glass 41 is embedded in the center of the blocking cover 40. By using the transparent glass 41, the image acquisition work of the lens body 10 is preferably achieved; Figure 5 As shown, a step groove 501 is formed at the outer end opening of the protective tube 20, and the plugging cover 40 is installed in the step groove 501 by means of threads to realize the detachable installation of the plugging cover 40, thereby facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the plugging cover 40.

[0033] In this embodiment, the snap-in ring groove 201 is arranged close to the outer end of the lens body 10. Through the arrangement of the positioning piece, in actual use, when the protective tube 20 is sleeved on the outer end of the lens body 10, the positioning piece is extended and retracted to make it snap into the snap-in ring groove 201, so that the protective tube 20 can be fixedly installed at the outer end of the lens body 10. By retracting the positioning piece, it can be disengaged from the snap-in ring groove 201, so that the fixation of the protective tube 20 can be released and the protective tube 20 can be removed.

[0034] Among them, through the setting of the telescopic tube 30, in actual use, when the telescopic tube 30 is extended out of the protective tube 20, the focus ring 210 outside the lens body 10 can be covered and protected. At the same time, the telescopic tube 30 is retracted into the protective tube 20 to expose the focus ring 210 outside the lens body 10, which is convenient for the operator to adjust the focal length of the lens body 10 through the focus ring 210.

[0035] Combination Figures 4 - 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an arcuate annular groove 601 is provided on the inner side wall of the protective tube 20 along its circumference, and a plurality of arcuate annular grooves 601 are distributed along the circumference of the protective tube 20;

[0036] The positioning member includes an arc-shaped slider 410 slidingly arranged in the arc-shaped ring groove 601, and a rotatable threaded rod 420 is provided on the arc-shaped slider 410 and threadedly penetrates through the protective tube 20 and extends out. Twisting the threaded rod 420 drives the arc-shaped slider 410 to extend into the clamping ring groove 201 to realize the installation of the protective tube 20 outside the lens body 10.

[0037] In actual use of this embodiment, the number of arcuate annular grooves 601 is set to 3, and positioning members are arranged in each of them; wherein the shape of the arcuate slider 410 is adapted to the shape of the arcuate annular groove 601, even if the arcuate slider 410 is restricted so that it can only extend or retract into the arcuate annular groove 601;

[0038] One end of the threaded rod 420 is rotatably mounted on the arc-shaped slider 410 through a bearing, so that the arc-shaped slider 410 can be driven to extend out of the arc-shaped ring groove 601 by twisting the protruding end of the threaded rod 420, so that the arc-shaped slider 410 is inserted into the clamping ring groove 201, and the protective tube 20 can be fixed. The arc-shaped slider 410 can be driven to retract into the arc-shaped ring groove 601 by twisting the protruding end of the threaded rod 420 in the opposite direction, so that the arc-shaped slider 410 is disengaged from the clamping ring groove 201, so that the protective tube 20 can be disassembled.

[0039] In actual use, in order to facilitate the operator to drive the threaded rod 420 to rotate, a screw cap 421 is provided at the protruding end of the threaded rod 420, and wear-resistant grooves are distributed on the outer wall of the screw cap 421, thereby facilitating the operator to rotate the threaded rod 420 by screwing the cap 421.

[0040] In this embodiment, a clamping groove 431 is provided in the side wall of the protective tube 20 along its circumferential direction, and the opening of the clamping groove 431 is arranged away from the plug cover 40. A limiting groove 432 communicating with the clamping groove 431 is provided on the outer side wall of the protective tube 20 along its axial direction.

[0041] One end of the telescopic cylinder 30 is slidably installed in the clamping groove 431 , and a limiting column 441 is provided outside the protective cylinder 20 and penetrates the limiting groove 432 and is threadedly connected to the telescopic cylinder 30 .

[0042] In this embodiment, by setting the card slot 431, it is preferable to make the telescopic tube 30 slide and set in the card slot 431, that is, to realize the telescopic setting of the telescopic tube 30 at the inner end of the protective tube 20;

[0043] The movement of the telescopic tube 30 in the slot 431 is restricted by the cooperation of the limiting slot 432 and the limiting column 441 , so that the telescopic tube 30 will not be separated from the protective tube 20 .

[0044] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a groove 602 is provided on the side wall of the slot 431 close to the protective tube 20 along its circumference, and the grooves 602 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the slot 431; a convex ring 701 that can be inserted into the groove 602 is provided on the side wall of the telescopic tube 30.

[0045] In this embodiment, the convex ring 701 is made of rubber material, so that it has better deformation ability. When the convex ring 701 slides against the side wall of the slot 431, the friction force makes it difficult for the telescopic cylinder 30 to slide in the slot 431. In particular, through the matching arrangement of the groove 602 and the convex ring 701, in actual use, the operator drives the telescopic cylinder 30 to slide in the slot 431 through a large external force, so that the convex ring 701 is snapped into the corresponding groove 602 to fix the telescopic cylinder 30. In particular, the grooves 602 are relatively arranged at the two ends of the slot 431. Therefore, when the convex ring 701 is snapped into the groove 602 at the inner end, the telescopic cylinder 30 can be kept in a state of being retracted in the protective cylinder 20. When the convex ring 701 is snapped into the outer groove 602, the telescopic cylinder 30 can be kept in a state of being extended out of the protective cylinder 20, thereby facilitating the actual use of the protective structure.

[0046] In actual use, in order to facilitate the operator to move the telescopic cylinder 30 , the protruding end of the telescopic cylinder 30 extends outward to form a moving ring portion 702 .

[0047] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the lens body 10 is provided with a movable ring 50 that matches with the extended end of the telescopic tube 30 , and the movable ring 50 is provided with a lap ring portion 801 that extends into the telescopic tube 30 .

[0048] In actual use of this embodiment, the movable ring 50 is spliced ​​and installed on the outside of the lens body 10 through the relative movable ring 800, wherein, through the setting of the overlapping ring portion 801, when the telescopic tube 30 is extended to protect the focus ring 210 outside the lens body 10, the extended end of the telescopic tube 30 can be inserted into the outside of the overlapping ring portion 801, so that the overlapping ring portion 801 supports the inner side wall of the extended end of the telescopic tube 30, thereby improving the strength of the telescopic tube 30, making it less susceptible to deformation caused by bumps, which affects its protection of the lens body 10.

[0049] In short, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present utility model should fall within the scope of the present utility model patent.
