The top of the fixed block 12 is connected to the horizontal end of the L-shaped sliding seat 3 through a sliding assembly 13. The vertical end of the L-shaped sliding seat 3 is provided with a second through hole 31 for placing an objective lens, and the second through hole 31 corresponds to the first through hole 11. The voice coil motor 2 is installed on the vertical end of the L-shaped fixed seat 1 and is located below the first through hole 11. The driving end of the voice coil motor 2 is connected to the L-shaped sliding seat 3 through a fixing plate 34. The voice coil motor 2 is used to drive the L-shaped sliding seat 3 to move horizontally along the fixed block 12.

[0025] Specifically, rotate the first adjusting bolt 16 to loosen the first notch 15, and place the eyepiece in the first through hole 11 of the L-shaped fixing seat 1. Rotate the second adjusting bolt 33 to loosen the second notch 32, and place the objective lens in the second through hole 31 of the L-shaped sliding seat. The eyepiece corresponds to the position of the objective lens. A third through hole is provided at the lower end of the vertical end of the L-shaped fixing seat 1, and the cylindrical shell 21 of the voice coil motor 2 is fixed in the third through hole through the connecting plate 25. One end of the mover 23 of the voice coil motor 2 is connected to the L-shaped sliding seat 3, and the voice coil motor 2 drives the L-shaped sliding seat 3 to move the objective lens horizontally along the fixed block 12 on the L-shaped fixing seat 1 to adjust the distance between the objective lens and the eyepiece, thereby realizing automatic focusing.

[0026] In the above structure, automatic focusing is achieved by providing a voice coil motor 2 to drive the L-shaped sliding seat 3 to move the objective lens horizontally. This automatic focusing mechanism not only achieves automatic focusing, but also improves the accuracy and efficiency of focusing.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, the horizontal end of the L-shaped fixing base 1 of the automatic focusing mechanism is provided with a displacement sensor 4 for detecting the moving distance of the L-shaped sliding base 3, and the displacement sensor 4 is located on one side of the L-shaped sliding base 3. The arrangement of the displacement sensor 4 facilitates the detection of the moving distance of the L-shaped sliding base 3 and the objective lens, ensuring the accuracy of focusing.

The mover 23 is in a cylindrical structure, the coil 24 is wound on the mover 23, when the mover 23 extends into the gap between the cylindrical shell and the permanent magnet 22, the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnet 22 and the magnetic field generated by the coil 24 interact with each other, the mover 23 and the coil 24 move horizontally, so that the mover 23 drives the L-shaped sliding base 3 to move horizontally. This arrangement facilitates the driving of the L-shaped sliding base 3 to move the objective lens horizontally, adjusts the distance between the objective lens and the ocular lens, thereby improving the focusing efficiency.

[0029] As shown in the drawings, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown in the drawings, in one embodiment, a limiting plate 26 is horizontally arranged on the top of the fixing plate 34 of the automatic focusing mechanism, the limiting plate 26 is located between the L-shaped sliding base 3 and the L-shaped fixing base 1, and the limiting plate 26 is used for limiting the mover 23 of the voice coil motor 2 and the L-shaped fixing base 1. This arrangement can prevent the mover 23 of the voice coil motor 2 from moving excessively and colliding with the L-shaped fixing base 1.

When the eyepiece needs to be placed in the first through-hole 11, the first adjustment bolt 16 is rotated to loosen the first notch 15. After the eyepiece is placed, the first adjustment bolt 16 is rotated to tighten the first notch 15, securing the eyepiece in the first through-hole 11. This arrangement facilitates the installation and removal of the eyepiece.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the L-shaped sliding seat 3 of the autofocus mechanism is provided with a second notch 32 and a second adjustment bolt 33. The second notch 32 is connected to the second through hole 31, and the second adjustment bolt 33 is used to lock and adjust the second notch 32. When the objective lens needs to be placed in the second through hole 31, the second adjustment bolt 33 is rotated to loosen the second notch 32.
