The permanent magnet 8 is embedded in the counterbore of the lens compression ring 2 through adhesion or interference fit, and the adhesion connection and interference fit can improve the reliability of magnetic adsorption.

[0034] ​The lens cover 4 is located outside the lens pressure ring 2, and the top is rotatably connected to the top of the lens pressure ring 2 through the first pin shaft 5 and rotatably connected with the electromagnet assembly 3 through the second pin shaft 6; the second pin shaft 6 is located on the upper side of the first pin shaft 5.
