Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of lenses, in particular to a focusing and zooming lens mechanism. Background Art

[0002] The existing implementation scheme of focus zoom lens usually sets two sets of linked inner barrels inside the outer barrel, one for zooming and the other for focusing. The two sets of barrels are set in the same inner barrel, and the technical principle is as follows: Figure 7 , through two motors set on the outer barrel, respectively drive linkage group 1 for zooming and linkage group 2 for focusing. This solution has a large coordination risk during implementation. Since the two linkage groups are set in one outer barrel, assuming that linkage group 1 is the zoom group and linkage group 2 is the focusing group (and vice versa), the light path is transmitted from the right (and vice versa). During the execution process, this mechanism first performs the zoom action (that is, linkage group 1 is actuated first). If it fails to perform the zoom operation normally during this process (such as large assembly tolerances and cannot meet optical precision), the subsequent focusing action (and linkage group 2 is actuated) will fail to meet the optical requirements. No matter how linkage group 2 is actuated, the lens optical path cannot be corrected. This phenomenon can be compared to the phenomenon of circuit series connection, that is, two light bulbs (analogous to the two linkage groups) are connected in series on the circuit (analogous to the outer barrel). If one light bulb is faulty, the other will not work properly. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we propose a focusing and zooming lens mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0027] It should be noted that the present invention is a focusing and zooming lens mechanism, which sets the linkage group 1 in the outer barrel A2, drives the linkage group 1 by the first drive motor 4 to perform zooming or focusing, and then sets the outer barrel A2 in the outer barrel B6, drives the outer barrel A2 to actuate by the second drive motor 7, that is, when the outer barrel A2 actuates, the linkage group 1 will follow the outer barrel A2 to actuate, and perform focusing or zooming. In this scheme, the focusing group and the zooming group are both independent partitions, and the optical path only passes through the linkage group 1. During the execution process, this mechanism first performs the zooming action, that is, the linkage group 1 actuates first. During this process, if it fails to perform the zooming operation normally, such as the assembly tolerance is large and the optical accuracy cannot be met, when the focusing action is subsequently performed, that is, when the outer barrel A2 actuates, the optical path of the entire lens is corrected by adjusting the position of the outer barrel A2 to compensate for the defect of the linkage group 1 and the decline in optical performance. This phenomenon can be compared to the parallel circuit phenomenon, that is, two bulbs (analogous to two linkage groups) are connected in parallel on the circuit (analogous to the outer tube). If one bulb is defective, the other can work normally.
