[0002] In the use of optical instruments, lenses are key components, and their performance and integrity directly affect the imaging quality and working efficiency of optical instruments. In practical applications, lenses often face various potential damage risks, such as collisions, scratches, and dust contamination.
[0003] Different types of optical instruments use lenses of varying thicknesses, and existing lens protection structures mostly only protect lenses of a single thickness, failing to meet diverse usage needs. When a lens of a different thickness needs to be replaced, the entire protection structure must be replaced, which is cumbersome and costly. Therefore, designing a protection structure capable of housing and protecting lenses of different thicknesses has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a lens protection structure for optical instruments, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] The protection mechanism includes a pressure box, a one-way valve assembly, a diaphragm, and a handle. The outer periphery of the pressure box is threadedly connected to the inner sidewalls of the first and second protective cylinders. The outer periphery of the diaphragm is disposed on the side of the pressure box that is close to it. The outer periphery of the one-way valve assembly is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure box that is far from it. The upper side of the handle is fixedly connected to the lower middle part of the pressure box.
[0007] Preferably, a spring is provided on the side of the pressure box that is far from each other, and a bottom ring is provided at the end of the spring that is far from the protection mechanism. The bottom ring is provided on the inner sidewalls of the first and second protective cylinders that are far from each other.
[0008] Preferably, a force-induced color-changing film is provided on one side of the lower part of the pressure box.
[0009] Preferably, the film has a plurality of folds, which are used to stretch the film.

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1-3As shown, a lens protection structure for optical instruments includes a protective cylinder 1, one end of which is threaded to the upper end of a protective cylinder 2. Both protective cylinders 1 and 2 are equipped with protective mechanisms 3. In summary, depending on the thickness of the lens, the handle 304 is turned, causing the pressure box 301 to rotate and move inside the protective cylinders 1 and 2, thereby adjusting the distance between the protective mechanisms 3 inside the protective cylinders 1 and 2. Then, the protective cylinders 1 and 2 are connected, and an air pump inflates the pressure box 301 through a one-way valve assembly 302, causing the diaphragm 303 to expand. This allows the diaphragm 303 to wrap around and support the lens, thus enabling the placement and protection of lenses of different thicknesses.
[0020] The protection mechanism 3 includes a pressure box 301, a one-way valve assembly 302, a diaphragm 303, and a handle 304. The outer periphery of the pressure box 301 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the first protective cylinder 1 and the second protective cylinder 2. The outer periphery of the diaphragm 303 is located on the side of the pressure box 301 that is close to it. The middle part of the outer periphery of the one-way valve assembly 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the pressure box 301 that is far away from it. The upper side of the handle 304 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the lower side of the pressure box 301. By turning the handle 304, the pressure box 301 rotates and moves inside the first protective cylinder 1 and the second protective cylinder 2, thereby adjusting the distance between the protection mechanisms 3 inside the first protective cylinder 1 and the second protective cylinder 2. Air is injected into the pressure box 301 through the one-way valve assembly 302, causing the diaphragm 303 to expand. This allows the diaphragm 303 to wrap around and support the outer periphery of the lens, thus enabling the placement and protection of lenses of different thicknesses.
[0021] A spring 4 is provided on one side of the pressure box 301 that is far away from each other. A bottom ring 5 is provided on the end of the spring 4 that is far away from the protection mechanism 3. The bottom ring 5 is located on the inner side wall of the protection cylinder 1 and the protection cylinder 2 that are far away from each other. The protection mechanism 3 is pushed by the spring 4 to prevent the protection mechanism 3 from being displaced due to vibration.
[0022] A gravitational color-changing film 305 is provided on one side of the lower part of the pressure box 301. When the pressure box 301 is filled with air, the air pressure inside the pressure box 301 increases, which causes the gravitational color-changing film 305 to be stressed, thereby changing the color of the gravitational color-changing film 305. By observing the color of the gravitational color-changing film 305, the pressure inside the pressure box 301 can be intuitively understood.
[0023] The thin film 303 has several folds, which are used to stretch the thin film 303. When there is no external force, the folds on the thin film 303 cause the thin film 303 to shrink into a small circular film. When the pressure box 301 is filled with air, the folds of the thin film 303 are stretched open, which increases the surface area of the thin film 303, thereby wrapping and supporting the outer periphery of the lens, thus protecting the lens.
[0024] One-way valve assembly 302 includes an air inlet cylinder 3021, a bracket 3022, a connecting post 3023, a sealing gasket 3024, a limiting block 3025, and a second spring 3026. The outer periphery of the air inlet cylinder 3021 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the pressure box 301. The outer periphery of the bracket 3022 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the inner side of the air inlet cylinder 3021. The outer periphery of the connecting post 3023 is slidably connected to the middle part of the bracket 3022. The middle part of the sealing gasket 3024 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the connecting post 3023. The middle part of the limiting block 3025 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting post 3023. The second spring 3026 is provided. On the outer periphery of the connecting column 3023, the second spring 3026 is disposed between the limiting block 3025 and the bracket 3022. When no external force is applied, the second spring 3026 pushes the limiting block 3025, which pulls the sealing gasket 3024 through the connecting column 3023, so that the sealing gasket 3024 seals the air inlet cylinder 3021. Therefore, external gas can enter the air inlet cylinder 3021, while the gas inside the air inlet cylinder 3021 cannot be discharged. When it is necessary to release the gas inside the air inlet cylinder 3021, the gas can be discharged by pushing the limiting block 3025 with other objects.
[0025] A sealing ring 3027 is provided at one end of the air inlet cylinder 3021 near the spring 4. When the output port of the air pump is inserted into the air inlet cylinder 3021, the sealing ring 3027 seals the air inlet cylinder 3021 and the output port of the air pump to prevent air leakage.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] Depending on the thickness of the lens, the handle 304 is turned so that the pressure box 301 rotates and moves inside the protective cylinder 1 and the protective cylinder 2, thereby adjusting the distance between the protective mechanisms 3 inside the protective cylinder 1 and the protective cylinder 2. Then the protective cylinder 1 and the protective cylinder 2 are connected, and the air pump inflates the pressure box 301 through the one-way valve assembly 302, causing the diaphragm 303 to expand. This causes the diaphragm 303 to wrap around and support the outer periphery of the lens, thus allowing lenses of different thicknesses to be placed and protected.
