[0032] The core of the present application is to provide a lens cover which can prevent loss and does not affect normal use when opened.

[0033] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical scheme of the present application, the lens cover of the present application will be described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0034] The present application provides a lens cover, which comprises an objective lens cover shell 1 and a connecting belt 2, and the objective lens cover shell 1 and the connecting belt 2 are connected with each other to form the entire lens cover structure.

[0035] The connecting band 2 is made of flexible material and can be flexibly deformed, for example, made of silica gel, rubber or other materials with certain elasticity. The second end of the connecting band 2 is connected to the objective lens cover 1, and the first end of the connecting band 2 is a free end. As shown in Figure 6 , Figure 7 The lens 3 is provided with a buckle 4, which is a ring-shaped channel structure. The connecting band 2 can pass through the buckle 4 provided on the lens 3, and the connecting band 2 can slide relative to the buckle 4.

[0036] The side wall of the connecting band 2 is provided with a first expansion part 21 and a second expansion part 22 in sequence along the length direction of the connecting band 2. The first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are both size expansion structures of the outer surface of the connecting band 2. The first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can have different shapes and sizes.

[0037] The cross-sectional size of the position where the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are located should be larger than the channel size of the buckle 4. The first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are respectively used to cooperate with the buckle 4 to form a blocking limit. However, the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are both made of elastic material, and the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can be elastically deformed or the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can be elastically deformed synchronously with the connecting band 2. The first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can pass through the buckle 4 by elastic deformation. When the connecting band 2 is subjected to tension at the first end or the second end, the connecting band 2 and the length increase, and the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are extruded by the buckle 4, so that the cross-sectional area is reduced, and the first expansion part 21 or the second expansion part 22 can pass through the buckle 4.

[0038] The main part of the connecting band 2 (the area where the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 are not provided) can freely slide in the channel of the buckle 4, only a small force is needed to displace the connecting band 2, and at this time the connecting band 2 does not need to be deformed. The first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can be elastically deformed, so that when the force exceeds the corresponding critical value, the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 can be elastically deformed to pass through the buckle 4. When the first expansion part 21 or the second expansion part 22 passes through the buckle 4, a larger force needs to be applied, and the first expansion part 21 or the second expansion part 22 can pass through only after the deformation reaches a certain degree. According to the different shapes and sizes of the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22, the critical values required for the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 to pass through the buckle 4 can be different.

[0039] The second expansion part 22 is close to the objective lens cover 1, that is, the second expansion part 22 is close to the second end of the connecting band 2, and the first expansion part 21 is close to the first end of the connecting band 2. As shown in Figure 6As shown, when the first expansion part 21 cooperates with the buckle 4 to form a block, the objective lens cover 1 can be buckled on the end of the lens 3, at this time the state of the whole lens cover is as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 ; at this time the first expansion part 21 and the objective lens cover 1 are respectively located on both sides of the buckle 4, the first expansion part 21 can form a block, even if the objective lens cover 1 falls off, it will not be separated from the shell of the lens 3, thereby playing a function of preventing loss.

[0040] When the second expansion part 22 cooperates with the buckle 4 to form a block, the objective lens cover 1 is limited to a position close to the buckle 4, at this time the state of the whole lens cover is as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 . The process from Figure 6 to Figure 7 is the process that the second expansion part 22 passes through the buckle 4, in the state of Figure 7 , the second expansion part 22 and the objective lens cover 1 are respectively located on both sides of the buckle 4, the distance between the second expansion part 22 and the objective lens cover 1 is smaller than the distance between the first expansion part 21 and the objective lens cover 1, at this time the objective lens cover 1 can be pulled back and the objective lens cover 1 is attached to the side wall of the shell of the lens 3, at this time the position of the objective lens cover 1 is limited and basically does not hang down, keeps the position of being attached to the side wall of the shell of the lens 3, when the lens 3 is moved relatively fast, the objective lens cover 1 will not be swung greatly, reducing the interference caused by the objective lens cover 1 in the open state to normal use.

[0041] The second expansion part 22 is provided with a deformation gap 221, which is used to reduce the force required for the elastic deformation of the second expansion part 22 to pass through the buckle 4. It should be noted that the deformation gap 221 is a blank area without entity, so that the volume of the entity part is reduced, thereby making the second expansion part 22 more easily deformed. As shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 , the deformation gap 221 is a closed channel structure, that is, the deformation gap 221 does not require an opening to be provided at the edge position of the second expansion part 22. Since the second expansion part 22 needs to pass through the buckle 4 more frequently, by providing the deformation gap 221, the force required for the elastic deformation of the second expansion part 22 to pass through the buckle 4 can be reduced, which is more convenient for operation and use. The first expansion part 21 only passes through the buckle 4 during assembly and does not need to pass through the buckle 4 during normal use, so the first expansion part 21 adopts a full entity structure and is not easily deformed, thereby ensuring that the whole lens cover is not easily separated and lost.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4As shown, the edge of the objective lens cover 1 is provided with an avoiding gap 11, the width of the avoiding gap 11 should be greater than the radius of the lens, no side wall is provided at the avoiding gap 11, and the connecting position of the connecting band 2 and the objective lens cover 1 is arranged opposite to the avoiding gap 11, when it is needed to open the objective lens cover 1, the first end of the connecting band 2 is directly pulled, and only one step operation is needed. The avoiding gap 11 is not needed, and when used, the objective lens cover 1 is first pushed away along the axial direction, and then the first end of the connecting band 2 is pulled.

[0043] Combination 1, Figure 3 As shown, the objective lens cover 1 is provided with a handle 12, the handle 12 is a radially outward convex structure, the connecting position of the connecting band 2 and the objective lens cover 1 is arranged opposite to the handle 12, and the finger is convenient for pulling down the objective lens cover 1. A circular ring can be arranged on the handle 12, which can facilitate force receiving during pulling.

The strip structure is adopted, and the connecting band 2 is not easy to rotate during movement. In this structure, the channel opened on the buckle 4 should be a flat channel.

[0045] Second, combination Figure 5 As shown, the connecting band 2 is a columnar structure, which can be a cylinder or a prism, the first expansion part 21 and the second expansion part 22 respectively form convex bulging parts in the circumferential direction. A plurality of deformation gaps 221 are arranged in the radial direction of the second expansion part 22 to make the second expansion part 22 more easily deformed. The inside of the second expansion part 22 can adopt a hollow structure, and the first expansion part 21 can adopt a solid structure. In this structure, the channel provided by the buckle 4 should be adapted to the shape of the connecting band 2. A plurality of ribs 24 can be arranged on the outer surface of the connecting band 2, and a plurality of grooves are arranged on the buckle 4, so as to prevent the connecting band 2 from rotating.

[0046] In some embodiments, the objective lens cover 1 and the connecting band 2 are integrally processed and formed, the objective lens cover 1 and the connecting band 2 are made of elastic materials, such as silica gel or rubber, and the objective lens cover 1 will not damage the lens. In addition, the objective lens cover 1 and the connecting band 2 can also be assembled in a split manner, a hinge shaft is arranged between the objective lens cover 1 and the connecting band 2, and a torsional spring is arranged on the hinge shaft, and the objective lens cover 1 can also be attached to the side wall of the shell of the lens 3 when opened and used.

[0048] In combination Figure 1 、 Figure 5 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, there is a gap between the first end of the connecting band 2 and the first expansion part 21, and this area is used for the finger to pull.
