Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of optical lenses, and specifically relates to a lens light-shielding and protecting structure. Background Technique
[0002] A lens generally refers to a lens system, which is an optical element used to focus or disperse light and is commonly used in optical devices such as cameras, telescopes, and microscopes. A lens consists of one or more lenses. Through the refraction and reflection of the lenses, the propagation direction of light can be changed, light can be focused to produce a clear image, and the divergence and convergence of light can be controlled. The design and performance of the lens directly affect the imaging quality and function of the optical device. Different types of lenses have different characteristics and uses, such as wide-angle lenses, telephoto lenses, macro lenses, etc.
[0003] When taking pictures, a camera is easily interfered by light, and different lights will result in different shooting colors and qualities. Therefore, a structure capable of adjusting light is required. In the prior art, an aperture is generally provided on a lens, but relying solely on the aperture cannot meet the usage requirements, especially in an environment with strong light. Therefore, a lens hood is usually used in the prior art to assist in adjusting light. The lens hood in the prior art generally includes a fixed cylinder and a movable cylinder, and the movable cylinder is movably connected to the fixed cylinder, and the movable cylinder can be telescoped on the fixed cylinder. However, in the prior art, the position of the movable cylinder is fixed by a clamping method, resulting in inflexible adjustment of the movable cylinder.
[0004] In the patent with the publication number of CN111596501A, a plastic camera lens hood with a telescopic function is disclosed. It stably connects the whole by using a fixing screw and a fixing screw hole to engage with each other, ensuring stable engagement after the whole is adjusted, increasing the fixing effect of the whole, and facilitating the adjustment of the whole. However, this clamping method can only adjust a fixed length, so there is a problem of inflexible adjustment. Content of the Utility Model

Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Embodiment
[0028] A lens light-shielding and protecting structure, as Figure 1 shown, includes a connecting cylinder 1 and a light-shielding cylinder 4. The connecting cylinder 1 is used to connect with the lens, and the light-shielding cylinder 4 is connected to the outside of the connecting cylinder 1. Among them, the connecting cylinder 1 cooperates with the lens, and the connecting cylinder 1 can be connected to the lens, which can be realized by means of snap connection, threaded connection, screw connection, etc.
[0029] As Figure 2 shown, a limiting ring 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting cylinder 1, a control screw 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the limiting ring 2, and one end of the control screw 5 penetrates through the limiting ring 2 and is fixedly connected with a gear 8; an adjusting ring 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the limiting ring 2.
[0030] The light-shielding cylinder 4 is movably sleeved outside the connecting cylinder 1. Threaded holes are provided on the cylinder wall of the light-shielding cylinder 4, and the control screw 5 is threadedly connected in the threaded holes. Meshing teeth are provided on the inner side of the adjusting ring 3, and the adjusting ring 3 is meshed with the gear 8 through the meshing teeth on the inner side.
[0031] Specifically, during use, first fix the connecting cylinder 1 on the lens. The light-shielding effect is achieved through the connecting cylinder 1 and the light-shielding cylinder 4. When it is necessary to increase the light-shielding effect, rotate the adjusting ring 3. The adjusting ring 3 drives the gear 8 to rotate through the internal meshing teeth, and the gear 8 drives the control screw 5 to rotate. Since one side of the control screw 5 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole of the light-shielding cylinder 4, when the control screw 5 rotates, the light-shielding cylinder 4 can move on the connecting cylinder 1, as Figure 3 shown. By controlling the rotation direction of the adjusting ring 3, the telescoping of the light-shielding cylinder 4 on the connecting cylinder 1 can be controlled, so as to achieve flexible adjustment. With this structure of the present utility model, the position of the light-shielding cylinder 4 can be adjusted according to the on-site light intensity, so as to keep appropriate light entering the lens, and the photographing effect can be effectively guaranteed.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, a rotating groove 9 is provided on the outer side of the limiting ring 2, and a connecting ring 10 is provided on the inner side of the adjusting ring 3. The connecting ring 10 is movably connected in the rotating groove 9; the adjusting ring 3 is rotationally connected to the limiting ring 2 through the connecting ring 10. The connecting ring 10 is rotationally connected to the limiting ring 2 through the rotating groove 9, ensuring the stable connection between the adjusting ring 3 and the limiting ring 2. This design can make the adjusting ring 3 rotate more smoothly, improving the convenience and stability of operation. With this structure, adjusting the position of the light-shielding cylinder 4 becomes more stable and convenient, and users can adjust the light-shield more precisely to adapt to different light conditions and shooting requirements.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a number of anti-slip vertical stripes are provided on the outer side of the adjusting ring 3, and the anti-slip vertical stripes are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the adjusting ring 3. This design can improve the feel and operability of the adjusting ring 3, increasing the holding force and stability of the user when rotating the adjusting ring 3. The setting of the anti-slip vertical stripes can effectively reduce the risk of accidental slipping or dropping, ensuring that users can easily and accurately adjust during use.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, several control screws 5 are rotatably connected to the limit ring 2, and the control screws 5 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the limit ring 2. This design can provide more stable control when adjusting the position of the light-shielding cylinder 4, enabling the user to more precisely adjust the position of the light-shielding cylinder 4 by rotating the control screw 5. The evenly spaced arrangement of the control screws 5 helps the user accurately grasp the distance and force of each rotation, improving the controllability of the adjustment. At the same time, by setting several control screws 5, the smooth movement of the light-shielding cylinder 4 can be ensured, enhancing the user's control over the light-shielding cylinder 4.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment, four control screws 5 are rotatably connected to the limit ring 2, and the control screws 5 are distributed at the upper, lower, left, and right positions of the limit ring 2. The stability of the light-shielding cylinder 4 can be ensured by precisely controlling the positions of the control screws 5. Setting four control screws 5 is the optimal solution obtained through optimization after actual use. By arranging the control screws 5 at the upper, lower, left, and right positions, all four control screws 5 can provide axial component forces to the light-shielding cylinder 4, making the movement of the light-shielding cylinder 4 smoother and facilitating the user's operation.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a limit groove 14 is provided on the outer side of the connecting cylinder 1, and a limit block 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the light-shielding cylinder 4. The limit block 15 is slidably connected in the limit groove 14. The limit groove 14 is used to limit the sliding distance of the limit block 15, thereby restricting the movement distance of the light-shielding cylinder 4. Through the design of the limit groove 14 and the limit block 15, it can be ensured that the light-shielding cylinder 4 will not exceed the set movement range during the adjustment process, preventing the occurrence of inaccurate light adjustment caused by excessive or insufficient movement. This design effectively improves the adjustment stability of the light-shielding cylinder 4, enabling the user to more conveniently control the entry of light according to actual needs, further enhancing the shooting effect and imaging quality.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, a clamping plate 6 is provided on the inner side of the connecting cylinder 1, and a telescopic device is provided between the clamping plate 6 and the connecting cylinder 1. Both ends of the telescopic device are fixedly connected to the connecting cylinder 1 and the clamping plate 6 respectively.

The purpose of adjusting the clamping plate 6 is to enable the connecting cylinder 1 to adapt to various different lenses, ensuring that the connecting cylinder 1 can be stably connected to lenses of different specifications. The design of this structure makes the lens light-shielding and protection structure have a wider applicability, while enhancing the flexibility and stability of the system. During use, it can more conveniently adapt to different types of lenses, ensuring its effective protection of the lens and improvement of the shooting quality.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the telescopic device includes a fixed head 11, a telescopic rod 13, and a compression spring 12.

The compression spring 12 is arranged within the fixed head 11. One end of the compression spring 12 is connected to the fixed head 11, and the other end is connected to the telescopic rod 13. Through the action of the compression spring 12, an appropriate elastic force can be provided to ensure a stable connection between the connecting components and adjust the distance between the clamping plates 6 to adapt to the specifications and sizes of different lenses. Such a structural design makes the entire lens light-shielding protection device have better adaptability and stability.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, there are four clamping plates 6, and a telescopic device is provided between each clamping plate 6 and the connecting cylinder 1. The four clamping plates 6 are in contact with each other initially and form a cylindrical structure. Through the adjustment of their respective telescopic devices, the relative positions of the clamping plates 6 can be changed, thereby adapting to lenses of different sizes, shapes, and specifications. This design structure enables the connecting cylinder 1 to flexibly adapt to various lens shapes, ensuring a stable connection and providing effective light shielding protection, so that the lens is optimally protected during shooting, while improving the shooting quality and usability.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, a contact portion 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping plate 6. The contact is an outwardly inclined structure, and the outwardly inclined structure is used to facilitate clamping the clamping plate 6 outside the lens barrel.
