TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of Leica M lens adapter Arri movie machine connection technology, in particular to a locking type adapter ring of Leica M lens adapter Arri movie machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nowadays, there are many kinds of movie machines and lenses, and many professional photographers hope to use other different brand lenses on the original movie machine to bring new fun and different experience. At present, the flange distance of Arri movie machine and Leica M lens is quite different due to the design of the manufacturer. Arri movie machine usually adopts PL bayonet with 52mm or LPL bayonet with 44mm (long flange distance), while the flange distance of Leica M lens bayonet is 27.8mm. The difference in flange distance is too large, and directly adapting the lens has some limitations in structure, which leads to the inability to use different lenses with each other, bringing great difficulty to the design of adapter ring. Therefore, it is difficult to use Leica M lens on Arri movie machine when adapting each other. In order to use Leica M lens on Arri movie machine, the feasibility analysis and research are carried out for this problem. The technical scheme of the utility model can lock and stably connect Leica M lens and Arri movie machine, which brings hope for Arri movie machine to adapt Leica M lens, increases the resources of Leica M lens, and can better play the role of Leica M lens. After searching, no same or similar technical scheme is found. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems in the prior art.

[0004] Due to the inconsistent size of Leica M lens appearance, it is difficult to utilize large size Leica M bayonet lens, therefore, the installation lens port diameter of Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) and driving thread ring (3) is increased, so as to better install and use most of the Leica M port lenses.
[0005] The utility model adopts the technical scheme: provide a kind of adapter ring of Leica M lens adapter Arri movie machine, including Arri movie machine connecting seat (1), claw compression ring (2), driving screw ring (3), lens positioning pin (4) four parts composition.A kind of locking type adapter ring of Leica M lens adapter Arri movie machine, including Arri movie machine connecting seat (1), it is characterized in that:Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is provided with driving screw ring (3);Driving screw ring (3) is fixedly connected with claw compression ring (2) being provided with;Driving screw ring (3) outside has dismantling handle;Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is provided with lens positioning pin (4), Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is provided with limiting structure;Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is provided with three groups of equal arc-shaped clamping groove structure, Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is connected together with driving screw ring (3) using screw structure;Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) and Leica M lens base are designed on one part;Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is fixedly connected with lens positioning pin (4);Driving screw ring (3) and claw compression ring (2) are connected using the fixed mode of screw;Driving screw ring (3) is provided with dismantling handle, and claw compression ring (2) is pressed by handle rotation to hold Leica M lens bayonet;Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) is installed with lens positioning pin (4).
[0006] Three groups of equal arc-shaped clamping grooves are arranged on Arri movie machine connecting seat (1), and the thread rotation stroke is set, so that driving screw ring (3) can only be disassembled and locked within the rotation range of the arc-shaped clamping groove to limit the stroke.
[0007] Driving screw ring (3) is connected with Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) using a threaded structure, a handle is arranged on driving screw ring (3), so that the lens can be conveniently disassembled;Lens positioning pin (4) is installed on Arri movie machine connecting seat (1) to fix the lens rotation.
[0008] Claw compression ring (2) is connected with driving screw ring (3) to facilitate the rotation of driving screw ring (3) to lock and fix the lens.
[0009] Lens positioning pin (4) is installed on Arri movie machine connecting seat (1).
[0010] Leica M lens reference surface is designed on Arri movie machine bayonet connecting seat (1) on one part, which can more effectively save structural space to design the adapter ring device.
[0011] When shooting movies, gaps in the lens mounting due to the adapter ring often lead to problems such as unclear or blurry images. In order to better reduce the installation error and gap between the lens and the camera, this utility model adopts a threaded connection method and uses the spiral downward sinking method to press and fix the lens claw. During installation, the lens can be easily locked and installed and removed by simply rotating the threaded ring (3), without any gaps or loosening, preventing the lens from generating loose material, thereby improving the quality of shooting movies and the safety of use.
