During the inhalation process, the inhaled air is filtered by the filter 307, and then mixed with the heat generated by the first electrothermal film 309, and then The hot gas after mixing is transported to the processing chamber 5 through the output hole 6, so that the water lens can be uniformly defogged.

It is worth noting that there is an air outlet on the lens barrel 1 to facilitate the discharge of humid air. A sealing plug is provided at the air outlet. During normal use, the air outlet is blocked and opened only when defogging is performed. Then, the high-temperature gas is output to the lenses in different spaces in turn through the guide hole 8, and then the fog on other lenses 2 is processed by cooperating with the second electric heating film 313 and the heat-conducting layer 312, thereby ensuring the defog effect of multiple lenses.
