Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of projection lenses, in particular to a non-complete circular lens barrel. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the times and the continuous advancement of science and technology, consumers are no longer satisfied with cars as merely a means of transportation. They are now demanding more and more functions and increasingly demanding technological intelligence. As intelligent products such as head-up displays (HUDs), panoramic systems, in-cabin monitoring systems (DMSs), and skylight projection systems gradually mature, the intelligent cockpit of cars is gradually moving from a concept to a superior driving experience for consumers. The car is also becoming the third activity center in people's lives, in addition to home and work.

[0003] As a crucial product for driver assistance safety, HUDs (Head-Up Displays) constantly strive for miniaturization. The projection lens itself is crucial. In situations with significant offset, the lens requires partial cutting to reduce size and facilitate installation. Traditional lenses are typically circular, with the outer lens element often secured with a circular retaining ring screwed in place. However, if the lens requires partial cutting to create a non-circular shape due to light offset and space constraints, retaining the outer lens element often requires the use of retaining springs or adhesive. This cumbersome assembly process carries a high risk of loosening. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-complete circular lens barrel, which has the advantages of simple assembly and high efficiency, and can meet the requirements of high reliability.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A non-complete circular lens barrel has a non-complete circular structure. An inclined snap-fit ​​groove, a mounting notch and a lens mounting structure are designed at the end of the lens barrel. A lens and a spacer are installed inside the lens barrel. A pressure ring adapted to the snap-fit ​​groove is provided at the snap-fit ​​groove, and the pressure ring has a non-complete circular structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the pressure ring is designed with a snap-fitting protrusion structure, a lens pressing structure and a wrench slot tightening structure.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0009] This new design features a compact structure. After the pressure ring and lens barrel are aligned, they are rotated a small angle, allowing the ring's protruding snap-in structure to engage with the angled snap-in grooves in the lens barrel, securing the lens to the barrel and completing assembly. This structural fixation solves the drawbacks of traditional non-circular lens end lens fixing, which is cumbersome and lacks reliability. It offers the advantages of simple and efficient assembly, while also meeting high reliability requirements. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
