Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a lens cutting device, and in particular to a novel focal length switching device. Background Technology

[0002] A focal reducer is an accessory that reduces the focal length of a camera lens or astronomical telescope. In photography, it changes the path of light and shortens the actual focal length of the lens. In astronomical observation, it can shorten or reduce the focal length of a telescope, making the focal ratio brighter, expanding the image range, and correcting the image field and aberrations.

[0003] When installing focal reducers, multiple focal reducers are mounted on a switching device to facilitate switching between different focal reducers. By rotating the switching device, the focal reducers in different positions are aligned with the usage position for use. However, foreign objects may appear in the mounting position of the focal reducers, and the mounting position is quite deep, making cleaning difficult. Utility Model Content

The rotating ring is movably mounted on the upper surface of the mounting frame, and the fixing blocks are fixedly mounted on the upper surfaces of both sides of the rotating ring. A scraper is movably mounted on the front end of the fixing block.

[0007] More preferably, the upper surface of the mounting bracket is provided with a mounting groove, the lower inner surface of the mounting groove is provided with a through hole, the inner two side surfaces of the mounting groove are provided with embedding grooves longitudinally, and the upper surface of the mounting bracket and the periphery of the mounting groove are provided with an annular groove.

[0008] More preferably, the number of mounting slots is three, the diameter of the through hole is smaller than the diameter of the mounting slot, and the three mounting slots are distributed in a triangle on the upper surface of the mounting frame.

[0009] More preferably, an mounting ring is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the rotating ring, and grooves are formed on both inner side surfaces of the rotating ring. The grooves are aligned with the embedding grooves, and the mounting ring is movably installed in the annular groove.

[0010] More preferably, the fixing block has a rod groove inside, and a spring is provided inside the rod groove.

[0011] More preferably, a guide rod is fixedly installed on the upper rear surface of the scraper, and a stop block is fixedly installed on the rear surface of the guide rod.

[0012] More preferably, the rear end of the guide rod is embedded in the rod groove, the height of the scraper is greater than the height of the mounting groove, and the rear surface of the scraper is in contact with the inner surface of the mounting groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model proposes a novel focus switching device, which has the following characteristics:

[0014] Beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, by setting up a mounting bracket, a rotating ring, a fixing block, and a scraper in cooperation, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the mounting groove, since the reducing lens is removed from the mounting groove, the scraper will move into the mounting groove under the pushing action of the spring. At this time, when the rotating ring is rotated, the scraper can be used to scrape the inner surface of the mounting groove, thereby conveniently completing the cleaning work.
