Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the development of infrared detection technology, infrared thermal imaging lenses have been widely used in military and civilian fields. Compared with single-field-of-view infrared thermal imaging lenses with fixed focal length and continuously zooming infrared thermal imaging lenses, dual-field-of-view infrared thermal imaging lenses can achieve target search in a wide field of view and target identification and tracking in a narrow field of view, with lower development costs and shorter design cycles.

[0003] Conventional dual-field-of-view infrared lenses use a motor to drive the zoom cam to rotate accordingly. The zoom curve groove and the zoom guide pin assembly drive the zoom slide to move along the zoom curve groove. Under the restriction of the straight groove, the rotational motion of the zoom slide is converted into linear motion for zooming. This type of lens requires high machining precision, and the matching precision requirements of the related parts of the drive mechanism are also very high. The transmission link is complex and requires high precision. In an impact environment, the system's field of view is prone to out-of-focus problems. Utility Model Content

[0016] The utility model proposes a dual-field infrared lens, see Figure 1-3 A dual-field infrared lens includes a main lens barrel 1, a screw 2, a coupling 3, a motor 4, an anti-backlash nut 5, a guide rail 6, and a switching lens group 7. The top of the main lens barrel 1 is an adjustment platform 11. The main lens barrel 1 includes a front fixed lens group 12 and a rear fixed lens group 13. The screw 2 is installed on the adjustment platform 11 through a group of support seats 21. The rear end of the screw 2 is connected to the coupling 3 and the motor 4. The front part of the screw 2 is installed with an anti-backlash nut 5. The guide rail 6 is installed on one side of the screw 2.

The top of the switching lens group 7 is connected to the slider 61 through a matching block 71.

[0017] The slider 61 of the guide rail 6 is respectively connected to the anti-backlash nut 5 and the matching block 71 of the switching mirror group 7. The engagement of the anti-backlash nut 5 and the screw 2 has the ability to eliminate the engagement gap and self-lock. The anti-backlash nut 5 can enable the switching mirror group 7 to move precisely on the optical axis after the motor 4 drives the screw 2 to rotate, effectively adapting to the complex mechanical environment of vibration or impact, and avoiding the problem of out-of-focus in the field of view of the system of the traditional switching mirror group 7 structure under impact environment.

[0019] See Figure 1-3 The correction guide groove 8 is clearance-matched with the guide block 9. A ball 81 is installed in the correction guide groove 8 and is slidably installed with the guide block 9, which can reduce sliding resistance and wear and make the movement of the switching mirror group 7 efficient and stable.
