[0025] With the progress of the times and the development of electronic technology, people's requirements for optical lenses are increasing day by day. Ordinary lenses zoom manually, that is, by manually rotating the lens to extend or retract it to focus. They cannot zoom automatically, and ordinary zoom lenses are bulky.

[0026] Therefore, to provide a lens capable of automatic zoom and with a compact size, this utility model proposes a zoom lens barrel 100. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, to achieve the above objective, the zoom lens barrel 100 proposed by this utility model includes a lens barrel 1, a fixing component 2, at least one zoom component 3, and an electric drive component 4; the lens barrel 1 has a mounting channel extending in the front-rear direction; the fixing component 2 includes a fixing seat 21 fixedly disposed at the front end of the lens barrel 1, the fixing seat 21 being used to mount the fixed lens group; at least one zoom component 3 includes a mounting seat 31 movably disposed in the mounting channel in the front-rear direction, the mounting seat 31 being used to mount the zoom lens group, so as to drive the zoom lens group to move closer to or away from the fixed lens group during its movement; the electric drive component 4 is drivenly connected to the mounting seat 31.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model adopts a fixed base 21 to install a fixed lens group and a mounting base 31 to install a zoom lens group. The mounting base 31 is driven to move back and forth through an electric drive component 4. When the mounting base 31 moves back and forth, it drives the zoom lens group to move back and forth, thereby realizing automatic zooming, which is convenient to operate and improves the zooming speed.

[0028] It should be noted that the mounting base 31 can be movably arranged in the front-to-back direction in the form of a slide rail slider structure, a guide rod guide sleeve structure, or other structural forms that allow the mounting base 31 to move.

[0029] In one embodiment, there is one zoom assembly 3, and the electric drive assembly 4 drives a mounting base 31 to move back and forth to perform zooming; in another embodiment, there are two zoom assemblies 3, and the two zoom assemblies are arranged at intervals along the front and back, and the electric drive assembly 4 drives the two zoom assemblies 3 to move back and forth to perform zooming. By performing zooming through two zoom lens groups, aberrations and other optical problems can be better controlled, thereby improving image quality.

[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, the electric drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a potentiometer 42, and a transmission assembly 43. The drive motor 41 is disposed on the outer side wall of the lens barrel 1, and a drive gear 411 is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 41. The potentiometer 42 is disposed on the outer side wall of the lens barrel 1 and is spaced apart from the drive motor 41 along the circumference of the lens barrel 1. A driven gear 421 is disposed on the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 42. The transmission assembly 43 includes a connecting part 431 and a drive rack 432 disposed along the circumference of the lens barrel 1. The drive rack 432 meshes with the drive gear 411 and the driven gear 421. The connecting part 431 connects the drive rack 432 and the mounting base 31. Thus, the drive motor 41 drives the drive rack 432 to rotate. When the drive rack 432 rotates, it drives the mounting base 31 through the connecting part 431, thereby automatically zooming. During the automatic zooming process, the driven gear 421 follows the drive rack 432 to rotate and drives the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 42 to rotate. When the rotating shaft of the potentiometer 42 rotates, the resistance value connected in the control circuit changes. The control circuit determines the position of the zoom lens group based on the resistance value and controls the rotation direction of the drive motor 41 accordingly to control the focal length in real time. At the same time, by setting both the drive motor 41 and the potentiometer 42 on the outer wall of the lens and spacing them apart, the space utilization near the lens barrel 1 is improved, thereby reducing the overall size of the lens. The length of the zoom lens barrel 100 can be reduced to 80mm, and the maximum radial dimension including the drive motor 41 can be reduced to 50mm.

[0031] The control circuit is a circuit system that controls various functions of the lens. Through the coordinated action of the processor, sensors, and communication interfaces, it achieves precise control of various functions of the lens. Its specific details will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Furthermore, the electric drive assembly 4 also includes a drive mounting component for mounting the drive motor 41 and the potentiometer 42. The drive mounting component includes a fixing part and two mounting parts. The fixing part is arranged in a ring shape, sleeved on the outer side of the lens barrel 1 and fixedly mounted to the lens barrel 1. The two mounting parts are arranged on the outer side wall of the fixing part and spaced apart from each other. Each mounting part has an opening in the front-rear direction, which extends in the front-rear direction for mounting the drive motor 41 or the potentiometer 42. The drive mounting component allows the drive motor 41 and the potentiometer 42 to be mounted in the circumference of the lens barrel, which simplifies the structure and can improve the installation speed.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, a guide hole 11 is provided on the wall of the mounting channel, and the guide hole 11 extends in the front-back direction; the connecting part 431 includes a drive cylinder 4311 and at least one protrusion 4313; the drive cylinder 4311 is sleeved on the outside of the lens barrel 1 and is coaxially arranged with the lens barrel 1, the drive cylinder 4311 rotates along the axis extending in the front-back direction, at least one drive groove 4312 is provided on the inner wall of the drive cylinder 4311, the drive groove 4312 extends in the front-back direction, and the front end and the rear end of the drive groove 4312 are offset along the circumference of the lens barrel 1, and a drive rack 432 is provided on the outer wall of the drive cylinder 4311; one end of the protrusion 4313 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 31, and the other end passes through the guide hole 11 and extends into the drive groove 4312, so as to drive the mounting base 31 to move in the front-back direction when the drive cylinder 4311 rotates. Thus, when the drive rack 432 rotates, it drives the drive cylinder 4311 to rotate. The cam transmission between the protrusion 4313 and the drive groove 4312 causes the drive cylinder 4311 to drive the mounting base 31 to move back and forth when it rotates, thereby zooming. The mounting base 31 is located inside the lens barrel 1, the drive cylinder 4311 is sleeved on the outside of the lens barrel 1, and the protrusion 4313 is fixed on the mounting base 31 and passes through the lens barrel 1 through the guide hole 11 to save space and reduce the size of the lens.

[0034] It should be noted that the drive groove 4312 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the front end and the rear end of the drive groove 4312 are offset from each other along the circumference of the lens barrel 1. The main body of the drive groove 4312 between the front end and the rear end is not restricted and can be spiral.

[0035] Furthermore, the pitch of the spiral drive groove 4312 can be varied as needed. With the drive motor 41 rotating at the same speed, a smaller pitch allows for more precise position control of the mounting base 31, resulting in a more accurate zoom effect. The pitch of the spiral drive groove 4312 can also be varied along the front-to-back direction as required.

[0036] While ensuring that the lens components are compact and miniaturized, the drive cylinder 4311 will come into contact with other components such as the lens barrel 1 and the housing of the drive motor 41 when it rotates, affecting the smoothness of rotation. Therefore, in the embodiments of this utility model, the rear end face of the drive cylinder 4311 is at least partially inclined to form a first pressing surface, the rear end face of the drive cylinder 4311 abuts against the housing of the drive motor 41, the drive cylinder 4311, the mirror barrel 1, and the housing of the drive motor 41 together define a first annular cavity 51 at the first pressing surface, a first lubricating element 52 abutting against the first pressing surface is provided in the first annular cavity 51, and the connection of the first annular cavity 51 is lubricated when the drive cylinder 4311 rotates; and / or, the front end face of the drive cylinder 4311 is at least partially inclined to form a second pressing surface, the front end face of the drive cylinder 4311 abuts against the fixed seat 21, the drive cylinder 4311, the mirror barrel 1, and the fixed seat 21 together define a second annular cavity 53, a second lubricating element 54 abutting against the second pressing surface is provided in the second annular cavity 53, and the connection of the second annular cavity 53 is lubricated when the drive cylinder 4311 rotates. Thus, by using the first lubricant 52 and the second lubricant 54, the friction between the drive cylinder 4311 and the lens barrel 1, between the drive cylinder 4311 and the fixed base 21, and between the drive cylinder 4311 and the housing of the drive motor 41 is reduced, making the rotation of the drive cylinder 4311 smoother and extending its service life. Furthermore, the drive cylinder 4311, the lens barrel 1, and the housing of the drive motor 41 together define the first annular cavity 51 at the first pressing surface, and the drive cylinder 4311, the lens barrel 1, and the fixed base 21 together define the second annular cavity 53. The first lubricant 52 and the second lubricant 54 are respectively provided to lubricate the connection points, which improves the overall structural compactness and reduces the size of the lens without affecting performance.

[0037] It should be noted that when a drive mounting component is provided, the drive cylinder 4311, the mirror cylinder 1, and the drive mounting component together define the first annular cavity 51 at the first pressing surface.

[0038] In embodiments of this invention, both the first lubricant 52 and the second lubricant 54 include multiple steel balls, which abut against either the first or second pressing surface. This arrangement transforms the sliding friction at the connection between the first annular cavity 51 and the second annular cavity 53 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the friction between the drive cylinder 4311 and the mirror barrel 1.

[0039] Furthermore, the fixed base 21 has a groove at the point where it abuts against the drive cylinder 4311. The groove extends circumferentially along the drive cylinder 4311 to accommodate multiple steel balls and allow multiple steel balls to roll. Lubricating oil or grease is added in the annular cavity to further improve the lubrication effect.

[0040] In an embodiment of this utility model, the zoom assembly 3 further includes a slider 32, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 31 and slidably disposed within the guide hole 11 in the front-back direction; the protrusion 4313 passes through the slider 32 within the guide hole 11 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base 31. This serves to limit the position of the mounting base 31 and the zoom lens assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, a sleeve 33 is embedded on the surface of the slider 32; one end of the protrusion 4313 is threadedly connected to the sleeve 33 and the mounting base 31 in sequence, and the other end of the protrusion 4313 is slidably engaged with the drive groove 4312. The diameter of the protrusion 4313 gradually increases from the inside to the outside of the sleeve 33. Thus, the diameter of the end of the protrusion 4313 that is slidably engaged with the drive groove 4312 is larger, the contact area with the drive groove 4312 is larger, and the transmission effect is more stable; the slider 32 is set in the guide hole 11, and its volume is small. The sleeve 33 embedded on its surface increases the contact area, which not only makes the transmission effect more stable but also improves the service life of the slider 32; the diameter of the end of the protrusion 4313 that is connected to the mounting base 31 is even smaller, which has a smaller volume in the limited space of the installation channel, making it easier to install the zoom lens assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment of the present invention, two zoom components 3 are provided, and the two mounting seats 31 are spaced apart in the front-to-back direction; the inner wall surface of the drive cylinder 4311 is provided with two drive grooves 4312 arranged sequentially in the front-to-back direction, and the distance between the two drive grooves 4312 in the circumferential direction of the drive cylinder 4311 gradually increases or decreases in the front-to-back direction; two protrusions 4313 are provided, and the two protrusions 4313 are fixedly connected to the two mounting seats 31 respectively, and are slidably engaged with the two drive grooves 4312 respectively, so that the two zoom components 3 move closer or further apart when the two mounting seats 31 are moved.

[0043] Specifically, both drive slots 4312 are spirally arranged, and the pitch of the two drive slots 4312 is different, so that when the drive cylinder 4311 rotates, it drives the two zoom lens groups to move closer or further apart, thereby achieving zoom.

[0044] In one embodiment, mounting base 21 and mounting base 31 have mounting grooves 55 on their opposite sides; the fixing assembly 2 and / or zoom assembly 3 also include clamping members for clamping and fixing the fixed lens group or zoom lens group in the corresponding mounting groove 55. Thus, the clamping members of the fixing assembly 2 and the zoom assembly 3 clamp the fixed lens group and zoom lens group from both ends of the lens barrel 1, simplifying the structure. During installation, the fixed lens group and zoom lens group are directly inserted from both sides of the lens barrel 1 and fixed using the clamping members, reducing the space reserved for lens assembly installation and decreasing the volume of the lens barrel 1.

[0045] The pressure holding component includes a pressure ring 56, which is annular and made of metal or plastic. The pressure ring 56 is threaded or snap-fitted into the groove of the mounting groove 55.

[0046] This utility model also proposes an automatic zoom lens, which includes a fixed lens group, at least one zoom lens group, and the zoom lens barrel 100 as described above. The specific structure of the zoom lens barrel 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the automatic zoom lens adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. The fixed lens group is mounted on the mounting base 21; the zoom lens group is correspondingly mounted on the mounting base 31.

[0047] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
