[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model relates to a zoom optical system, which includes a display screen 10 and a lens assembly.

[0040] Specifically, the lens assembly includes a first lens group 21, a second lens group 22, and a third lens group 23 arranged in sequence from the side of the human eye 30 to the direction of the display screen 10, the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22, and the third lens group 23; wherein, specifically, the display screen 10 serves as a display source of an image and is used to emit light to the lens assembly; each of the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22, and the third lens group may include one or more lenses, and each lens has the same or different refractive indices.

[0041] There are intervals between the display screen and each lens respectively, and the display screen, the first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group can be driven to move to form a change in diopter;

[0042] The zoom optical system has a combination of any two of the following diopter adjustment methods:

[0043] 1) Driving the first lens group to move alone;

[0044] 2) Driving the display screen and the third lens group to move simultaneously, or driving the first lens group and the second lens group to move simultaneously;

[0045] 3) Driving the display screen to move alone, or driving the first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group to move simultaneously.

[0046] The first lens group 21 includes a first lens. The first surface of the first lens facing the human eye 30 is convex, and the second surface facing the display screen 10 is also convex, which helps to converge and focus light, improving the clarity and brightness of the image. The second lens group 22 includes a second lens. The third surface of the second lens facing the human eye 30 is concave, and the fourth surface facing the display screen 10 is flat or convex, which can effectively correct the propagation direction of light, reducing aberration and distortion. The third lens group 23 includes a third lens. The fifth surface of the third lens facing the human eye 30 is convex, and the sixth surface facing the display screen 10 is flat or convex. The third lens group 23 can work in cooperation with the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 to further optimize the optical performance.

[0047] In the present utility model, there are intervals respectively between the display screen 10, the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23.

[0048] Among them, the display screen 10, the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23 can all be adjusted in position, and drivers, such as micro-motor drivers, piezoelectric drivers or electromagnetic drivers, etc., are provided on the display screen 10, the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23 to realize the position adjustment of each component.

[0049] By driving one or more of the display screen 10, the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23 to make position adjustments, corresponding diopter adjustments can be realized to meet the needs of users with different visual acuities.

[0050] Next, two implementation methods for the diopter adjustment of the zoom optical system provided by the present utility model will be introduced respectively.

[0051] When performing the first diopter adjustment, the adjustment methods include:

[0052] Method 1: Drive the display screen 10 alone to change the third interval d3 between the third lens group 23 and the display screen 10, thereby realizing the first diopter adjustment. For example, when it is necessary to increase the positive diopter, move the display screen 10 in the direction close to the third lens group 23 to make the light more convergent.

[0053] Method 2: Drive the first lens group 21, the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23 simultaneously to change the third interval d3, thereby realizing the first diopter adjustment. This adjustment method can adjust the diopter more quickly.

[0054] Method 3: Independently drive the first lens group 21 to change the first interval d1 between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22. In this method, by changing the position of the first lens group 21, the propagation path of light and the focal point are adjusted, thereby achieving the adjustment of the diopter.

[0055] Method 4: Simultaneously drive the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22. There are two adjustment cases. One is that the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 are simultaneously driven the same displacement, and the distance between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 remains unchanged. The other is that the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 are simultaneously driven different displacements, and the distance between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 changes. Both adjustment cases cause the second interval d2 to change. This adjustment method can comprehensively consider the functions of the two lenses respectively, thereby achieving a more comprehensive adjustment of the diopter.

[0056] When performing the second diopter adjustment, the adjustment methods include:

[0057] Method 1: Simultaneously drive the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23. There are two adjustment cases. One is that the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23 are simultaneously driven the same displacement, and the distance between the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23 remains unchanged. The other is that the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23 are simultaneously driven different displacements, and the distance between the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23 changes. Both adjustment cases cause the second interval d2 to change, achieving the second diopter adjustment. For example, when increasing the negative diopter, move the display screen 10 and the third lens group 23 away from the second lens group 22 at the same time to make the light more divergent.

[0058] Method 2: Simultaneously drive the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22. There are two adjustment cases. One is that the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 are simultaneously driven the same displacement, and the distance between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 remains unchanged. The other is that the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 are simultaneously driven different displacements, and the distance between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22 changes. Both adjustment cases cause the second interval d2 to change to achieve the adjustment of the diopter.

[0059] Method 3: Independently drive the first lens group 21 to change the first interval d1. By changing the position of the first lens group 21, the propagation path of light is adjusted to achieve the adjustment of the diopter.

[0060] Method 4: Independently drive the display screen 10 to change the third interval d3. It is similar to Method 1 in the first diopter adjustment, but the adjustment direction is opposite to achieve the adjustment of the diopter.

[0061] Further, in the present utility model, the variation ranges of the first interval d1 between the first lens group 21 and the second lens group 22, the second interval d2 between the second lens group 22 and the third lens group 23, and the third interval d3 between the third lens group 23 and the display screen 10 are respectively defined as Δd1, Δd2, and Δd3.

[0062] Among them, the value range of Δd1 is 0 mm - 3 mm, the value range of Δd2 is 0 mm - 3 mm, and the value range of Δd3 is 0 mm - 3 mm. By displaying the variation amounts of each spacing, it is beneficial to ensure the stability and reliability of the optical system during diopter adjustment, and at the same time avoid the decline in image quality and unstable optical performance caused by excessive adjustment.

[0063] Further, in the present utility model, the variation amount of the first diopter adjustment is ΔF1, and the variation amount of the second diopter adjustment is ΔF2. ΔF1 and ΔF2 satisfy the following conditions: -10 D ≤ ΔF1 + ΔF2 ≤ 10 D; this value range can adapt to a wider range of people with eye degrees and meet the needs of users with different vision requirements.

[0064] Further, in the present utility model, the overall optical length of the zoom optical system is defined as TTL. When performing the first diopter adjustment and / or the second diopter adjustment, the variation amount of the overall optical length is defined as ΔTTL, and ΔTTL satisfies the following conditions: 0 mm ≤ ΔTTL ≤ 3 mm. This limiting condition can ensure that the overall size of the optical system does not change too much during the diopter adjustment process.

[0065] Further, in the present utility model, the focal length of the zoom optical system is defined as EFL, and EFL satisfies 0 ≤ |Δd1 + Δd2| / EFL ≤ 0.3. At the same time, the focal length of the first lens group 21 is defined as f1, the focal length of the second lens group 22 is defined as f2, and the focal length of the third lens group 23 is defined as f3, satisfying 0 ≤ |f1 + f2 + f3| / EFL ≤ 4.45. It can be understood that the foregoing conditions can ensure excellent ergonomic performance.

[0066] A zoom optical system provided by the present utility model has two different diopter adjustment methods. On the one hand, different adjustment methods can be finely adjusted according to different vision requirements: for example, for people with mild vision problems, a relatively gentle adjustment method can be adopted; while for people with more serious vision problems, a more targeted adjustment method can be selected. On the other hand, the combined use of different adjustment methods can cover a wider diopter range. Through the moving combination of different lens groups and the position adjustment of the display screen, diopter adjustments of different degrees from low to high are realized, meeting the needs of people with different vision conditions, expanding the diopter adjustment range, and thus making the adaptable population wider.

Users can adjust the diopter of the optical system according to their own vision conditions, thereby obtaining a clear and comfortable visual experience.

[0077] Through the combination of the first diopter adjustment and the second diopter adjustment in this embodiment, a diopter range from -10D to 10D can be satisfied, adapting to people with myopia, hyperopia, etc. The user group is extensive, and there is no need for users to wear corrective glasses additionally, improving the convenience and experience.
