Description

[0002] In the field of optical camera structure, matrix camera usually adopts multi-lens combination structure to realize wide-angle imaging, and is usually installed at a high position. In the prior art, such camera mainly faces two problems: first, under high installation environment, affected by vibration, deformation and other factors, the traditional rigid connection structure is difficult to continuously guarantee the alignment accuracy and overall stability between lens units, thereby affecting the imaging quality and equipment life; second, when individual lens performance declines or fails, the entire device often needs to be disassembled and repaired, the operation space is limited and the process is cumbersome, not only low in efficiency, but also easy to cause secondary installation error or component damage due to frequent disassembly and assembly.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN110536055A discloses a camera using a multi-lens module, which improves the flexibility of lens replacement to a certain extent through a detachable lens module design.
