Under the elastic force of the spring 54, the pressure ring 24 is used to apply a force to the left on the optical lens to increase the fixing force of the optical lens. The greater the leftward movement distance of the internal threaded ring 58, the greater the contraction amplitude of the spring 54, and the greater the force applied by the pressure ring 24 to the optical lens, which is convenient for determining the fixing force of the optical lens. The outer arc surface of 8 is provided with a rotation groove 6, and a slider 7 is slidably connected inside the rotation groove 6.
