[0025] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," and "lower" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0026] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides an autofocus motor with an integrated scene switching structure, which can realize the structural integration of optical scene switching and autofocus, and improve the optical imaging quality. It includes an integrated base 1, which includes a motor base 11 and a switching bracket 12 connected in one piece from top to bottom. The upper end of the motor base 11 is provided with a motor body 2, and the side end of the switching bracket 12 is provided with a scene switching device 3.

[0027] The motor body 2 includes a motor housing 21, a motor magnet 22, an upper spring 23, a lower spring 24, a motor carrier 25, and a first coil (not shown in the figure). The motor magnet 22 is disposed inside the motor housing 21. The upper spring 23, the lower spring 24, and the motor carrier 25 are all disposed inside the motor magnet 22. The outer side of the upper spring 23 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor magnet 22. The inner side of the upper spring 23 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the motor carrier 25. The outer side of the lower spring 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the motor magnet 22. The lower end of the motor magnet 22 is also fixedly connected to the motor base 11. The inner side of the lower spring 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the motor carrier 25. The first coil is sleeved on the outer wall of the motor carrier 25.

[0028] The bottom of the switching bracket 12 is provided with a horizontally set telescopic slot. The scene switching device 3 includes a switching housing 31, a loading plate 32, a cylindrical magnet 33, a swing arm 34, a rotating shaft 35, a second coil 36, and a U-shaped iron core 37.

[0029] The loading plate 32 is embedded with adjacent first filter 38 and second filter 39. The first filter 38 and second filter 39 have different light transmittance. The loading plate 32 is inserted into the telescopic slot. The side of the loading plate 32 away from the switching bracket 12 is provided with a swing cross slot.

[0030] One end of the swing arm 34 is fixedly connected to a cylindrical magnet 33, and the other end is slidably connected in the swing groove. The cylindrical magnet 33 is located in the opening direction of the U-shaped iron core 37. The second coil 36 is wound and sleeved on the U-shaped iron core 37. The cylindrical magnet 33, the swing arm 34, the second coil 36 and the U-shaped iron core 37 are all arranged in the switching housing 31. The cylindrical magnet 33 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 35. The upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 35 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the switching housing 31.

[0031] When the second coil 36 is energized, a magnetic field is generated in the U-shaped iron core 37, which drives the cylindrical magnet 33 to rotate, causing the swing arm 34 to swing, thereby driving the loading plate 32 to move and switch the positions of the first filter 38 and the second filter 39.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first filter 38 can be an infrared cut-off filter, and the second filter 39 can be a full-spectrum optical lens. The first filter 38 is used when there is sufficient light to filter out infrared rays, and the second filter 39 is used when there is insufficient light.

[0033] Working principle of Example 1:

[0034] The automatic zoom principle of motor body 2:

[0035] The lens assembly is located in the middle of the motor carrier 25. When the first coil is energized, it generates a magnetic field. Under the influence of the magnetic field of the motor magnet 22, the lens assembly is driven by the motor carrier 25 to move up and down in the vertical direction, thereby achieving automatic zoom.

[0036] The working principle of scene switching device 3:

[0037] When the second coil 36 is energized, a magnetic field is generated around the U-shaped iron core 37. Under the limiting effect of the rotating shaft 35, the cylindrical magnet 33 can only rotate after the external magnetic field changes. Since the swing arm 34 is fixedly connected to the cylindrical magnet 33, one end of the swing arm 34 is driven to swing by the cylindrical magnet 33, and the other end of the swing arm 34 swings in an arc shape, thereby driving the loading plate 32 to move back and forth to switch the positions of the first filter 38 and the second filter 39, ultimately realizing automatic switching of the optical scene. The structure is simple and the switching efficiency is high. The energizing direction of the second coil 36 can be changed, thereby changing the rotation direction of the cylindrical magnet 33, changing the swing direction of the swing arm 34, and ultimately changing the moving direction of the loading plate 32.

[0038] In this embodiment, an integrated base 11 and a switching bracket 12 are designed as an integrated base 1, and a motor body 2 is set on the upper end of the motor base 11. A scene switching device 3 is provided on the side end of the switching bracket 12, realizing the structural integration of optical scene switching and automatic zoom, which is beneficial to improving the optical imaging quality.

[0039] Example 2, refer to Figure 1 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a pair of arc-shaped bending portions 4, which can improve the magnetic field quality generated by the U-shaped iron core 37 and ensure the rotation effect of the cylindrical magnet 33. The U-shaped iron core 37 has a pair of arc-shaped bending portions 4 arranged opposite to each other in the opening direction. The bending shape of the arc-shaped bending portions 4 is adapted to the shape of the cylindrical magnet 33. A rotation gap is left between the pair of arc-shaped bending portions 4 and the cylindrical magnet 33.

[0040] Working principle of Example 2:

[0041] After the second coil 36 is energized, a magnetic field is generated around the U-shaped iron core 37. Since the U-shaped iron core 37 has a pair of arc-shaped curved parts 4 that are adapted to the shape of the cylindrical magnet 33 in the opening direction, the magnetic field generated around the cylindrical magnet 33 is more in line with the shape of the cylindrical magnet 33, and the magnetic field quality is improved, so that the rotation effect of the cylindrical magnet 33 when driven by magnetic force is better.

[0042] Example 3, referring to Figure 3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a spring-loaded limiting post 13 and a magnetic limiting block 14, which can improve the stability of the connection structure between the lower spring 24 and the motor base 11. Several spring-loaded limiting posts 13 are provided at each corner of the upper surface of the motor base 11. Several limiting holes are opened on the lower spring 24. The shape of the spring-loaded limiting post 13 is adapted to the limiting hole. Each spring-loaded limiting post 13 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole.

[0043] Magnetic limiting blocks 14 are also provided at each corner of the upper surface of the motor base 11. The magnetic limiting blocks 14 are located outside each spring limiting post 13. The shape of the magnetic limiting blocks 14 is adapted to the shape of the motor magnet 22. When the motor magnet 22 is placed on the upper end of the motor base 11, each magnetic limiting block 14 limits the outer side of the motor magnet 22.

[0044] Working principle of Example 3:

[0045] By setting the spring plate limiting post 13 and the limiting hole, the lower spring plate 24 can be inserted into the limiting hole of the motor base 11 through the spring plate limiting post 13, thereby improving the stability of the connection structure between the lower spring plate 24 and the motor base 11.

[0046] In addition, by setting magnetic limiting blocks 14 at each corner of the upper surface of the motor base 11, the outer side of the motor magnet 22 is limited by each magnetic limiting block 14, which further improves the stability of the connection structure between the lower spring 24 and the motor base 11.

[0047] Preferred, such as Figure 4 As shown, the scene switching device 3 also includes a loading protective sleeve 5. The loading plate 32 is set inside the loading protective sleeve 5. The shape of the telescopic slot is adapted to the shape of the loading protective sleeve 5, and the loading protective sleeve 5 is inserted into the telescopic slot.

[0048] Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting the loading protective sleeve 5, external protection of the loading plate 32 is achieved, thereby improving the durability of the loading plate 32.

[0049] Preferably, the protective cover 5 includes an upper cover 51 and a lower cover 52. The upper cover 51 has several buckles 53 on its side end, and the lower cover 52 has several buckles 54 on its side end. The buckles 53 are fastened to the buckles 54.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, a detachable connection between the upper shell 51 and the lower shell 52 is achieved by providing several buckles 53 on the side of the upper shell 51 and several buckles 54 on the side of the lower shell 52.

[0051] Preferably, the bottom of the switching bracket 12 is provided with several parallel heat dissipation fins, and the heat dissipation fins are wavy in shape.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, by setting heat dissipation fins at the bottom of the switching bracket 12, a set of heat dissipation fins is used to achieve synchronous heat dissipation of the motor body 2 and the scene switching device 3, achieving a high-return heat dissipation effect at low cost.

[0053] In addition, in this embodiment, the shape of the heat dissipation fins is set to a wave shape, which increases the contact area between the heat dissipation fins and the air and improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0054] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are within its protection scope. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within its protection scope.
