Specific embodiments
[0032] In order to better understand the present utility model, the content of the present utility model will be further clearly elaborated below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings. However, the protected content of the present utility model is not limited to the following embodiments. In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present utility model. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present utility model can be implemented without one or more of these details.
[0033] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1 - 6 , the purpose of this embodiment is to provide an adjustable lens C-type interface, including a lens barrel limiting member 1 arranged at the end of the lens and a camera connecting member 2 for connecting with a camera. The lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2 are snap-connected.
[0034] The lens barrel limiting member 1 includes a hollow first connection disk 11, a lens barrel 12 coaxially and fixedly arranged on one side of the first connection disk 11, and a first annular step 13 coaxially and fixedly arranged on the other side of the first connection disk 11. The lens barrel limiting member 1 penetrates along the central axis, and a second annular groove 15 is arranged on one side of the lens barrel limiting member 1 close to the first annular step 13. A third annular groove 16 is arranged adjacent to the second annular groove 15, and the inner diameter of the third annular groove 16 is larger than that of the second annular groove 15.
[0035] The camera connecting member 2 includes a hollow second connecting disk 21 and a second annular step 22 coaxially and fixedly arranged on one side of the second connecting disk 21. The camera connecting member 2 penetrates along the central axis, and a first annular groove 23 is arranged on one side of the camera connecting member 2 away from the second annular step 22. The second annular step 22 adopts the standard specification of the C-type interface and is provided with an external thread. Therefore, the second annular step 22 can be docked with the C-type female port of the camera.
[0036] The outer diameter of the first annular step 13 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the first annular groove 23, and the axial height of the first annular step 13 is slightly smaller than the axial depth of the first annular groove 23. Therefore, the first annular step 13 can be in clearance fit with the first annular groove 23. When the first annular groove 23 is buckled with the first annular step 13, the first connecting disk 11 is attached to the second connecting disk 21.
[0037] To achieve the fixation between the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2, a plurality of annular stepped holes 24 are arranged on the second connecting disk 21 along the circumferential direction. The annular stepped holes 24 are all located outside the second annular step 22, are integrally arc-shaped, and are all concentrically arranged with the second connecting disk 21; the circular ring angle of the annular stepped holes 24 is 5° - 110°; preferably, the sizes of the annular stepped holes 24 are the same and are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the second connecting disk 21. Correspondingly, fastening screw holes 14 are arranged on the first connecting disk 11 in one-to-one correspondence with the annular stepped holes 24. After the fastening screw 4 passes through the annular stepped hole 24, it can be screwed into the corresponding fastening screw hole 14, and the fastening of the first connecting disk 11 and the second connecting disk 21 can be achieved; at the same time, the annular stepped holes 24 are long arc-shaped, so the alignment angle between the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2 can be adjusted.
[0038] To achieve the adjustment of the concentricity between the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2, a plurality of adjusting screw holes 25 are arranged on the second connecting disk 21 along the radial direction. The adjusting screw holes 25 are also communicated with the first annular groove 23; at the same time, the adjusting screw holes 25 are all arranged between two annular stepped holes 24 to avoid interference. An adjusting screw 3 is arranged in the adjusting screw hole 25. When the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2 are buckled, the adjusting screw 3 can abut against the circumferential surface of the first annular step 13. After the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2 are preliminarily fixed by using the fastening screw 4, the concentricity of the lens barrel limiting member 1 and the camera connecting member 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting screw 3, and the concentricity correction of the lens and the camera can be realized. The adjustment range of the concentricity is related to the fit clearance between the first annular step 13 and the first annular groove 23.
[0039] As Figure 6As shown, the lens barrel stopper 1 can be directly set at the connecting end of the lens. The optical lens 5 of the lens is fixedly arranged in the lens barrel 12. A retaining ring 7 for pressing the optical lens 5 is arranged in the second annular groove 15, and a part of the retaining ring 7 can be clamped in the third annular groove 16 for fixation. At the same time, a sealing ring 6 is also pressed between the optical lens 5 and the retaining ring 7, and the sealing ring 6 is arranged in the third annular groove 16.
[0040] When the present utility model is in use, first, the camera connecting member 2 is screwed tightly onto the camera; then, the first connecting plate 11 and the second connecting plate 21 are fitted together, and the lens barrel stopper 1 and the camera connecting member 2 are preliminarily fixed by using the fastening screw 4; then, observe the camera imaging, adjust the alignment angle by rotating the lens barrel stopper 1, and adjust the concentricity by adjusting the screw 3 until the camera obtains a high-definition and symmetrical image; finally, screw the fastening screw 4 tightly to complete the fastening.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model rather than to limit them. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the present utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model, shall be covered by the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
