Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infrared lens technology, and in particular to a mechanically manually focused infrared lens. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared lenses are special because, like night vision devices that can detect human body heat, they use germanium crystal materials (similar to diamond structures) instead of ordinary glass, allowing infrared light, invisible to the naked eye, to pass through. Just as ordinary window glass blocks ultraviolet rays, this "special glass" opens a channel specifically for infrared light. Infrared thermal imaging technology is widely used in industrial inspection, security monitoring, and medical diagnosis, and its core technology uses germanium crystal lenses to transmit infrared wavelengths.

[0003] In the current process of focusing an infrared lens, the operator usually rotates the focusing ring on the lens barrel and observes the real-time image of the infrared imaging device (such as a thermal imager) to slowly adjust until the edge of the target object is clear. However, during the operation of the focusing ring, the operator needs to hold the main body of the equipment with one hand and rotate the focusing ring with the other hand. It is difficult to keep the equipment stable in scenarios such as mobile inspection and high-altitude operations, especially when wearing protective equipment, it is even more difficult to coordinate both hands.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this application provides a mechanically manually adjustable infrared lens, including: a lens body 100, comprising a main lens barrel 10, an adjusting lens barrel 20, a manual adjustment assembly 30, and a head lens barrel 40. The main lens barrel 10 is located outside the adjusting lens barrel 20, and the head lens barrel 40 is connected to the end of the adjusting lens barrel 20. A third lens 11 is disposed inside the main lens barrel 10, a second lens 21 is disposed inside the adjusting lens barrel 20, and a first lens 41 is disposed inside the head lens barrel 40. The manual adjustment assembly 30... Located at the connection between the main lens barrel 10 and the adjusting lens barrel 20, the manual adjustment assembly 30 includes a support base 33 and a support base 38 located inside the adjusting lens barrel 20. The support base 33 has a threaded hole 34 in the middle, and the threaded hole 34 passes through the middle of the support base 33. The support base 38 has a guide hole 39 inside, and the guide hole 39 passes through the middle of the support base 38. An adjusting column 35 is provided on the outside of the main lens barrel 10, and one end of the adjusting column 35 is connected to a threaded rod 36.

[0028] After adopting the above technical solution, since the manual adjustment component 30 is located between the main lens barrel 10 and the adjustment lens barrel 20, when focusing is required between the main lens barrel 10 and the adjustment lens barrel 20, the user holds the device with one hand and then rotates the manual adjustment component 30 with one finger, thereby performing the focusing operation between the main lens barrel 10 and the adjustment lens barrel 20.

[0029] During the use of the manual adjustment component 30, the user holds the infrared device, then contacts the anti-slip strip on the outside of the adjustment column 35 with their index finger, and then rotates the adjustment column 35 clockwise. This causes the adjustment column 35 to drive the threaded rod 36 to rotate along the inside of the bearing 37 and the threaded hole 34. Under the threaded connection between the threaded rod 36 and the threaded hole 34, the support base 1 33 drives the adjustment lens barrel 20 to move outward along the inner side of the main lens barrel 10, and at the same time drives the support base 2 38 to move. This causes the guide hole 39 to slide along the outer side of the guide rod 310. Then, during the movement of the adjustment lens barrel 20, the four sets of auxiliary sliders 31 on the outer side of the adjustment lens barrel 20 slide along the inner side of the slide groove 32, thereby moving the adjustment lens barrel 20 and the second lens 21 outward, thus performing the focusing operation of the lens with one hand.

[0030] It should be noted that when the adjusting lens barrel 20 slides along the inner side of the main lens barrel 10, the auxiliary slider 31 and the sliding groove 32 provide assistance, ensuring the stability of the adjusting lens barrel 20 during the adjustment process. This, in turn, drives the second lens 21 to move, ensuring that the optical centers of the second lens 21, the third lens 11, and the first lens 41 are always aligned along the same optical axis X. (See attached diagram) Figure 5 .

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the optical centers of the third lens 11, the second lens 21, and the first lens 41 are arranged sequentially along the same optical axis X, and the offset of the line connecting their geometric centers from the optical axis X is less than or equal to ±0.05 mm.

[0032] It should be noted that the optical centers of the third lens 11, the second lens 21 and the first lens 41 are arranged sequentially along the same optical axis X, thus conforming to the optical design principle. The first lens 41 is a convex lens, and its radius of curvature R1 satisfies 10mm≤R1≤50mm.

[0033] In one optional embodiment, the main lens barrel 10, the adjusting lens barrel 20, and the head lens barrel 40 are all provided with limiting grooves, and there are three sets of limiting grooves. The third lens 11, the second lens 21, and the first lens 41 are respectively adapted and connected to the limiting grooves, and the three sets of limiting grooves are distributed in a stepped manner, thereby ensuring that the third lens 11, the second lens 21, and the first lens 41 can be installed accordingly, which can meet the normal use of the infrared lens.

[0034] In one optional embodiment, four sets of auxiliary sliders 31 are integrally connected to one side edge of the adjusting lens barrel 20, and the edges of the auxiliary sliders 31 are all rounded, so that when the auxiliary sliders 31 slide along the inside of the slide groove 32, the smoothness is ensured, and the friction and jamming phenomenon caused by the right angle of the auxiliary sliders 31 on the inner wall of the slide groove 32 is avoided, thereby further improving the stability of the second lens 21 during the movement process.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the inner wall of the main lens barrel 10 is provided with a groove 32 that is adapted to the auxiliary slider 31, and the number of grooves 32 is equal to the number of auxiliary sliders 31. There are four sets of auxiliary sliders 31 and grooves 32 to ensure that when the adjusting lens barrel 20 slides along the inside of the main lens barrel 10, it has a four-point stabilizing effect, so that the adjusting lens barrel 20 can smoothly reciprocate along the inside of the main lens barrel 10.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, the adjusting column 35 and the threaded rod 36 are fixedly connected, and a bearing 37 is provided at the connection between the threaded rod 36 and the main lens barrel 10, so that the bearing 37 provides rotational support to the adjusting column 35 during rotation, thereby enabling the threaded rod 36 to rotate normally along the inside of the threaded hole 34.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, a guide rod 310 adapted to the guide hole 39 is fixedly connected inside the main lens barrel 10. During the adjustment of the lens barrel 20, the guide hole 39 can slide along the outside of the guide rod 310. The ends of the guide rod 310 and the threaded rod 36 are integrally connected to the limit block 311, so that when the threaded rod 36 rotates along the inside of the threaded hole 34, the threaded rod 36 is limited to the maximum value, preventing the threaded rod 36 from leaving the inside of the threaded hole 34.

[0038] In one optional embodiment, several sets of anti-slip strips are fixed at the outer edge of the adjusting column 35, and the anti-slip strips are arranged at equal intervals. When the adjusting column 35 is rotated, it plays an anti-slip role. At the same time, the equidistant distribution of the anti-slip strips can guide sweat, rainwater and other liquids, further playing an anti-slip role.
