[0002] With the development of society, video doorbells have gradually become an important part of modern family security, playing an important role in improving home safety, convenience and practicality. Video doorbells cannot do without the use of wide-angle day and night confocal lenses. Wide-angle day and night confocal lenses, during the day, the wide-angle lens receives and focuses light on the photosensitive element to form a clear image. To ensure clarity at night, the lens generally has a larger aperture, which can ensure sufficient light input, but the aperture is generally not adjustable. When the amount of light input is large during the day, it is easy to cause overexposure of the picture. There are also some that add an adjustable aperture mechanism to control the amount of light input. It is generally transmitted through a gear structure, and the gear transmission locking ability is poor. When the door collides, the internal aperture structure is prone to shifting, affecting the adjustment accuracy of the aperture, and therefore also affecting the imaging quality of the video doorbell.

The distances between the center lines of the guide long holes and the center point of the wide-angle lens barrel 1 are different, thereby controlling the rotation of the light blocking plates 4. When the light blocking plates 4 rotate toward the center line of the wide-angle lens barrel 1, The through hole formed in the center of the multiple light-blocking sheets 4 will become smaller, thereby controlling the amount of light passing through the wide-angle lens barrel 1. It also includes a reinforcing sheet 8, which is respectively arranged on the rear side of the light-blocking sheet 4. The reinforcing sheet 8 is a resin reinforcing sheet, which improves the structural strength of the light-blocking sheet 4. The reinforcing sheet 8 is provided with a hole of the same size and position as that on the light-blocking sheet 4, which reduces wear and improves the movement accuracy of the light-blocking sheet 4. A positioning shell 9 is provided at the rear end of the wide-angle lens barrel 1. The positioning shell 9 is arranged in conjunction with the rotating ring 5. The positioning shell 9 and the rotating ring 5 Contact and position it. The rear end fixing sleeve of the outer arc surface of the wide-angle lens barrel 1 is provided with a fixing seat 10.

The lens group inside the wide-angle lens barrel 1 corresponds to the position of the image sensor on the main board. When working, the external visible light and infrared light are refracted by the lens group and guided to the image sensor. When the external light intensity changes, the external control motor 73 is operated The output shaft of the motor 73 drives the worm gear 71 to rotate through the worm 72, and the worm gear 71 drives the rotating ring 5 and the guide shaft 6 to rotate. The guide shaft 6 slides relative to the guide long hole of the light blocking plate 4, and the rotation of the light blocking plate 4 can be controlled. When the light blocking plate 4 rotates toward the center line of the wide-angle lens barrel 1, the through hole formed in the center of the multiple light blocking plates 4 will become smaller, and the amount of light passing through the wide-angle lens barrel 1 can be controlled, thereby realizing the adjustment of the aperture size, which can avoid overexposure of the picture caused by strong light and improve the imaging quality of the video doorbell.
