A rolling module is disposed between the second lens barrel and the first lens barrel. This innovative structure enables the connecting member to move reciprocally along the optical axis direction when the fourth lens barrel rotates. This reciprocating movement further enables the second lens barrel to move precisely along the optical axis direction. To further optimize performance and reduce friction between the fixed lens barrel, the designer also adds a second rolling module between the third lens barrel and the fourth lens barrel to ensure smooth operation of the entire system.

[0004] However, this lens assembly may face a common problem of wear and tear of the rolling module after long-term use and repeated operation. Over time, the rolling module may gradually wear out, which will cause an increase in rolling resistance.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments of the present application provide a mirror group distance adjusting structure, which comprises a first lens barrel 100, a second lens barrel 200 and a third lens barrel 300 respectively sleeved at both ends of the first lens barrel 100. The surfaces of both ends of the first lens barrel 100 are respectively provided with a first thread 110 and a second thread 120. The first thread 110 and the second thread 120 are arranged to be screwed with the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300, so as to realize the relative rotation and movement between the lens barrels. When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the lenses 420 in the mirror group 410, the user can rotate the second lens barrel 200 or the third lens barrel 300 to move along the first thread 110 or the second thread 120 on the first lens barrel 100, so as to change the relative position of the lenses 420 in the mirror group 410, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the focal length or the image distance. This design not only has a simple structure and is convenient to operate, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the lens barrels through the threaded connection.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1The second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 are mounted on the first lens barrel 100 based on the first thread 110 and the second thread 120, and the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 can be moved along the optical axis direction on the first lens barrel 100 based on the first thread 110 and the second thread 120 respectively. During the movement, the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 can accurately adjust the relative position between them and the first lens barrel 100, so as to realize the fine adjustment of the distance between the lens 420 or the lens group 410. In addition, after the adjustment is completed, the user can lock the lens barrel by slightly rotating, which ensures the stability of the lens group 410 structure, prevents displacement due to vibration or external force during use, and ensures the stability and precision of the optical system. This design not only improves the flexibility of adjustment, but also ensures the reliability and durability of the lens group 410 structure.

[0030] The first lens barrel 100, the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 are all hollow, and the inside is provided with a space for accommodating the lens 420; the first lens barrel 100, the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 are all provided with a lens group 410 or a lens 420 along the optical axis direction.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 2 The outer part of the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 is respectively connected with the first focusing ring 210 and the second focusing ring 310; by turning the first focusing ring 210 and the second focusing ring 310, the second lens barrel 200 and the third lens barrel 300 can produce relative movement based on the first lens barrel 100.

[0032] When the second lens barrel 200 and the first lens barrel 100 produce relative movement, the lens group 410 or the lens 420 in the second lens barrel 200 moves as a whole to realize the focusing function.

[0033] When the third lens barrel 300 and the first lens barrel 100 produce relative movement, the lens 420 in the third lens barrel 300 moves close to or away from other lens groups 410 or lenses 420.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2The first focusing ring 210 and the second focusing ring 310 are provided with a plurality of evenly spaced rotation teeth 320 for manual rotation by the user. The rotation teeth 320 increase the friction on the surface of the focusing ring, making it easier for the user to apply force when rotating the focusing ring, while ensuring the accuracy and stability of the rotation action. In addition, the design of the rotation teeth 320 also provides a good hand feel, allowing the user to feel clear rotation feedback during the adjustment of the focal length, thereby achieving precise control of the focal length. This design not only improves the user experience, but also further enhances the reliability and practicality of the focusing function.

[0035] The first lens barrel 100, the second lens barrel 200, and the third lens barrel 300 are also provided with a spacer 130 between the lens 420 or lens group 410 installed inside. The spacer 130 is provided with different lengths to adapt to the spacing between the lens 420 or lens group 410. The spacer 130 is used to fix the position of the lens 420 or lens group 410, ensuring the stability and accuracy of their relative positions. Different lengths of spacer 130 can be flexibly selected according to actual needs to adapt to the spacing requirements between different lenses 420 or lens groups 410. This design not only improves the stability and reliability of the lens structure, but also helps to optimize the optical performance of the lens, ensuring that the imaging quality reaches the best state. At the same time, the use of the spacer 130 also simplifies the assembly process of the lens, improving production efficiency.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 One end of the second lens barrel 200 is provided with a first compression ring 140, and one end of the third lens barrel 300 is provided with a second compression ring 150; the lens group 410 or lens 420 is limited inside the first lens barrel 100, the second lens barrel 200, and the third lens barrel 300 through the first compression ring 140 and the second compression ring 150. The first compression ring 140 and the second compression ring 150 can increase the support effect of structural stability, prevent the lens 420 or lens group 410 from loosening or shifting inside the lens, and limit the adjustment of the lens 420 or lens group 410 inside the lens barrel. Through the joint action of the first compression ring 140 and the second compression ring 150, the lens 420 or lens group 410 is firmly limited inside the first lens barrel 100, the second lens barrel 200, and the third lens barrel 300, thereby effectively improving the overall stability and durability of the lens. In addition, this design also helps to optimize the optical performance of the lens,

[0037] The adjustment of the first screw thread 110 and the second screw thread 120 is independently set, so that the focusing and focusing functions can be performed simultaneously or separately.

[0038] This independent adjustment design gives the operator greater flexibility and precision when adjusting the lens. Focusing is achieved by rotating the first thread 110, while zooming is achieved by rotating the second thread 120. The two functions do not interfere with each other, allowing the operator to choose to adjust focus or zooming individually, or simultaneously, to achieve the best imaging results, depending on the actual needs.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a lens group distance adjustment structure. The lens group distance adjustment structure described in Embodiment 1 can be applied to photographic lenses or optical imaging devices.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
