To ensure a heat-free optical design, the lens assembly structure provided in this utility model embodiment is preferably made of 6061 aluminum alloy. Furthermore, the linear expansion coefficients of the third lens 221, fourth lens 231, fifth lens 241, and sixth lens 411 preferably used in this utility model embodiment are all 7.8 × 10⁻⁶. -6 / ℃, these lenses have a small coefficient of linear expansion, and compared to the coefficient of linear expansion of titanium alloy (8.6×10). -6 Since the coefficients of thermal expansion (°C) are similar, the mounts for the third lens 221, fourth lens 231, fifth lens 241, and sixth lens 411 are all made of titanium alloy. Furthermore, to match the linear expansion coefficients of the flexible backplate 32 and the 45° reflecting mirror 31, the material of the flexible backplate 32 is preferably Invar. After determining the materials for the above components, the remaining materials for the high-temperature adaptable combined optical path folding lens assembly described in this embodiment are all aluminum alloy. The selection of these materials improves the temperature adaptability of the lens assembly. Simultaneously, in this embodiment, stress-free adhesive grooves 7 for filling RTV adhesive are provided in the corresponding mounts, and the corresponding mounts are fixed using RTV adhesive, thereby ensuring that no radial stress is generated between the mount and the outer diameter of the corresponding lens when the temperature environment of the lens assembly changes.
[0063] Specifically, the assembly and adjustment process of the high-temperature adaptable combined optical path folding lens assembly described in this embodiment of the invention is as follows:
[0064] First, after installing the transverse lens group 2 in the transverse lens mounting part 111 of the transverse lens tube 11 and the longitudinal lens group 4 in the longitudinal lens tube 12 according to the above connection relationship, the longitudinal lens tube 12 is connected to the second connecting surface of the reflector mounting part 112 using four M3x8 screws, thus completing the installation and positioning of the transverse lens group 2 and the longitudinal lens group 4.
[0065] Next, the 45° reflector 31 is bonded to the reflector mounting platform 321 with two-component epoxy adhesive, and each flexible joint 322 is mounted on the back panel 34 with two M3x8 screws. This completes the mounting of the 45° reflector 31 onto the back panel 34 via the flexible back panel 32.
[0066] Then, the position of the 45° reflector 31 is determined by optical testing to ensure that the optical axis of the transverse lens group 2 is perpendicular to the optical axis of the longitudinal lens group 4 and intersects on the surface of the 45° reflector 31. Then, the adjustment shim 33 is adjusted and processed according to the position of the 45° reflector 31. Finally, four M3x14 screws are used to install the adjustment shim 33 and the back plate 34 on the third connecting surface of the reflector mounting part 112.
[0067] Finally, aluminum alloy retaining rings 5 are used to press the first aluminum alloy lens mount 213 and the third aluminum alloy lens mount 432 into the transverse lens barrel 11 and the longitudinal lens barrel 12, respectively. This completes the assembly and adjustment of the high-temperature adaptable combined optical path folding lens assembly described in this embodiment of the invention.

Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
