Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manual diaphragms, in particular to a manual diaphragm structure without a clamping ring. Background Art

[0002] The patent number is: ZL202321554315.1, and the patent name is: A Chinese utility model patent for an adjustable aperture with high stability. It actually discloses a manual aperture; specifically, the adjustable aperture with high stability includes a wave seat, multiple wave pieces, a wave cover, a retaining spring and an adjusting rod. The wave seat is provided with several circular holes evenly distributed around the circumference, a notch is provided on the side of the wave seat, and a retaining groove is provided on the inner side of the wave seat. The wave cover is rotatably arranged inside the wave seat, and several notches are provided on the wave cover. The retaining spring is located inside the retaining groove, and one side of the retaining spring is against the wave cover. The wave piece is located between the wave cover and the wave seat, and fixed shafts are provided on both sides of the wave piece, and the fixed shaft at one end is rotatably arranged in the circular hole, and the fixed shaft on the other side is slidably arranged in the slot.

[0003] When adjusting the aperture size of the highly stable adjustable iris, the adjustment rod drives the aperture cover to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the aperture plate and, in turn, the aperture size. A retaining spring is installed in a slot in the aperture seat and is used to axially limit the aperture cover.

[0004] It should be noted that the above-mentioned adjustable iris with high stability has the following drawbacks, specifically:

[0005] Defect 1: The retaining spring is a structural component independent of the diaphragm seat, and is mounted in the slot of the diaphragm seat through a retaining slot. When assembling the adjustable diaphragm with high stability, the retaining spring needs to be assembled after the diaphragm piece and the diaphragm cover are assembled. Therefore, the retaining spring structure increases the assembly process of the entire diaphragm.

[0006] Defect 2: The retaining spring is an elastic part and is prone to deformation during use. Once the retaining spring is deformed, the friction force between the retaining spring and the light cover will increase, thereby affecting the comfort of the adjustment action. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] The present invention will be described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0036] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a manual aperture structure without a retaining ring includes a basic base 1, a movable driving ring 2 and a plurality of blades 3. A base accommodating cavity 11 with an upward opening is formed inside the basic base 1, and a base light-through hole 12 with a downward opening is formed in the middle position of the bottom of the base accommodating cavity 11.

[0037] The movable driving ring 2 is rotatably mounted in the base accommodating cavity 11 , and a plurality of blades 3 are mounted between the movable driving ring 2 and the bottom of the base accommodating cavity 11 , and each blade 3 is driven by the movable driving ring 2 .

[0038] Further, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a radially penetrating sidewall through-hole 13 is provided on the sidewall of the base accommodating cavity 11 , and an operating rod 4 passing through the sidewall through-hole 13 is mounted on the movable driving ring 2 .

[0039] Furthermore, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, a circular ring-shaped base hanging groove 14 is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the base accommodating cavity 11 above the side wall through hole 13, and a plurality of upper edge notches 15 distributed in a circular array and respectively connected to the base hanging groove 14 are provided on the upper end surface of the basic base 1.

[0040] In addition, if Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the upper end portion of the movable driving ring 2 is provided with a plurality of driving ring hanging platforms 21 distributed in a ring array and protruding radially outward, and each driving ring hanging platform 21 extends into the base hanging groove 14 respectively.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the upper end surface of the base 1 is provided with three upper edge notches 15 distributed in a circular array, and the upper end portion of the movable drive ring 2 is provided with three drive ring hanging platforms 21 distributed in a circular array. Of course, the number of the upper edge notches 15 and the number of the drive ring hanging platforms 21 described above do not constitute a limitation to this first embodiment.

[0042] It is pointed out that, in the process of installing the movable driving ring 2 in the base accommodating cavity 11, the driving ring hanging table 21 of the movable driving ring 2 is entered into the base hanging groove 14 through the corresponding upper edge notch 15, and then the movable driving ring 2 is rotated and the mounting position of the operating rod 4 is aligned with the side wall through hole 13 of the base, and then the operating rod 4 is mounted in the movable driving ring 2 through the side wall through hole 13.

[0043] It is emphasized that, for the manual diaphragm structure without the clamping ring of the first embodiment, the movable driving ring 2 is vertically limitedly installed in the base 1 through the cooperation of the driving ring hanging table 21 and the base hanging groove 14, and after the assembly of the movable driving ring 2 is completed, the clamping ring does not need to be installed. Compared with the prior art, the manual diaphragm structure without the clamping ring of the first embodiment has a simpler overall structure and fewer assembly procedures due to the lack of the clamping ring.

[0044] In addition, since the manual diaphragm structure without the clamping ring of the first embodiment does not have the clamping ring structure, it can effectively avoid the influence of the deformation of the clamping ring on the stability of use. Compared with the prior art, the manual diaphragm structure without the clamping ring of the first embodiment has better stability and reliability.

[0045] In summary, through the above structure design, the manual diaphragm structure without the clamping ring of the first embodiment has the advantages of novel design, simple structure, fewer assembly procedures and good stability and reliability.

[0046] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the lower end of the side wall of the base accommodating cavity 11 is spaced apart from the movable driving ring 2.

[0047] Through the above spacing structure design, the second embodiment can effectively reduce the contact area between the side wall of the base accommodating cavity 11 and the movable driving ring 2, thereby reducing the friction when the movable driving ring 2 rotates, to improve the smoothness when the movable driving ring 2 is rotated.

[0048] The partial contact structure can effectively reduce the contact area between the movable driving ring 2 and the base 1, that is, reduce the friction when the movable driving ring 2 rotates, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the smoothness when the movable driving ring 2 is rotated.

[0049] As shown in Figure 5 , the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that the base 1 is provided with a support table 16 which is in partial contact with the lower end surface of the movable driving ring 2.

[0050] For the base 1 with the support table 16, the thickness value of the driving ring hanging table 21 can be less than the height value of the base hanging groove 14, at which time the movable driving ring 2 can be vertically limited by the support table 16.

[0051] In addition, the support platform 16 and the lower surface of the movable driving ring 2 are a local contact structure, which can effectively reduce the contact area between the movable driving ring 2 and the basic base 1, that is, reduce the friction force when the movable driving ring 2 rotates, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the smoothness of rotating the movable driving ring 2.

[0052] Example 4, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that an internal threaded hole 22 is provided on the outer side of the movable driving ring 2 , and the operating rod 4 is a screw column that is screwed into the internal threaded hole 22 of the movable driving ring 2 .

[0053] During the assembly process of the manual aperture structure of the fourth embodiment, after each drive ring hanging platform 21 of the movable drive ring 2 passes through the corresponding upper edge notch 15 and enters the base hanging groove 14, the movable drive ring 2 is rotated so that the internal threaded hole 22 of the movable drive ring 2 is aligned with the side wall through hole 13 of the base base 1, and then the screw column is passed through the side wall through hole 13 and screwed into the internal threaded hole 22 of the movable drive ring 2, thereby completing the assembly operation of the screw column.

[0054] Example 5, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the difference between this fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that each blade 3 can be connected to the movable drive ring 2 and the basic base 1 in the following structural form, specifically: each blade 3 has a fixed end and a free end, the free end of each blade 3 is riveted with a free end rivet 31, and the fixed end of each blade 3 is riveted with a fixed end rivet 32.

[0055] The bottom of the base accommodating cavity 11 has bottom pivot holes 17 formed beside the base light hole 12 corresponding to the fixed end rivets 32 of each blade 3 . The fixed end rivets 32 of each blade 3 are pivotally installed in the corresponding bottom pivot holes 17 .

[0056] In addition, the movable driving ring 2 is provided with an inwardly opening driving ring slot 23 corresponding to the free end rivet 31 of each blade 3 , and the free end rivet 31 of each blade 3 is slidably installed in the corresponding driving ring slot 23 .

[0057] Example 6: Figure 3 As shown, the difference between the sixth embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that the movable driving ring 2 is provided with an anti-drop buckle 24 at the inner end opening position of each driving ring sliding groove 23.

[0058] The anti-disengagement reverse buckle 24 of the sixth embodiment has the effect that when the blade 3 is extruded and deformed by external force, the anti-disengagement reverse buckle 24 can effectively prevent the free end rivet 31 of the free end of the blade 3 from sliding out of the corresponding driving ring sliding groove 23, thereby effectively increasing the stability and reliability of the installation of the blade 3.

[0059] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and for those skilled in the art, the specific implementation manners and application scopes can be changed according to the idea of the present application, and the content of the specification should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
