Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical lens technology, and in particular to a threaded structure for an optical lens. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing of optical lenses, the connection between the lens barrel and the mounting base typically uses a standard threaded connection. However, this traditional threaded connection method has several problems. First, when two sets of identical threads are paired, the gap between the threads is difficult to control precisely, leading to loosening during mass production and affecting the lens's image quality and stability. Second, because torque is difficult to adjust effectively, manual application of adhesive is usually required to improve torque, which not only increases production costs but may also lead to a higher rate of product returns. Furthermore, the locking effect of traditional threaded connections is not ideal, and wobbling is prone to occur, thus affecting the image quality of the optical lens. Utility Model Content

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the first shielding member 15 can shield the first mounting hole 13 to prevent dust, foreign objects and the like from entering the mounting hole, avoid affecting the connection between the first fastener 12 and the internal thread kit 11, and at the same time improve the neatness and aesthetics of the rear seat 1.
[0037] Furthermore, the lens barrel 2 is provided with an external thread sleeve, and the trapezoidal external thread 211 is provided on the external thread sleeve 21.
[0038] As described above, the addition of the external thread fitting 21 facilitates the machining, installation, and replacement of the trapezoidal external thread 211, improving production flexibility and efficiency. The external thread fitting 21 can be optimized to meet different application requirements.
[0039] Furthermore, the external threaded assembly 21 is detachably mounted on the lens barrel 2.
[0040] As described above, the detachable installation of the external threaded assembly 21 makes the maintenance and repair of the lens barrel 2 more convenient. When the trapezoidal external thread 211 is worn or damaged, only the external threaded assembly 21 needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire lens barrel 2, thus reducing maintenance costs.
[0041] Furthermore, it also includes a second fastener 22, and the outer side wall of the external threaded kit 21 is provided with a second mounting hole 23. The second fastener 22 passes through the second mounting hole 23 and is connected to the lens barrel 2.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 One embodiment of this utility model is a threaded structure for an optical lens, comprising a rear seat 1 and a lens barrel 2. The rear seat 1 has a rectangular internal thread 111, and the lens barrel 2 has a trapezoidal external thread 211 that mates with the rectangular internal thread 111. The two corners of the tooth tips of the rectangular internal thread 111 abut against the sides of the trapezoidal external thread 211. Specifically, by employing the mating of the rectangular internal thread 111 and the trapezoidal external thread 211, and designing the corners of the tooth tips of the rectangular internal thread 111 to abut against the sides of the trapezoidal external thread 211, a tight fit and uniform force distribution of the threads are achieved. This structure not only enhances the stability of the threaded connection and effectively prevents relative wobbling between the lens barrel 2 and the rear seat 1, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical lens, but also concentrates wear mainly at the corners of the tooth tips of the rectangular internal thread 111, making it easier to control and predict the wear location and reducing the risk of decreased imaging quality of the optical lens due to loose threads. Furthermore, this fitting method can generate stable friction during the assembly process, which helps to achieve more precise torque control and further improves the accuracy and reliability of optical lens assembly.
[0046] In this embodiment, both the rectangular internal thread 111 and the trapezoidal external thread 211 are single-start threads. The minor diameter of the rectangular internal thread 111 does not directly contact the major diameter of the trapezoidal external thread 211. The height from the contact point of the thread structure to the major diameter is less than the height of the rectangular internal thread 111 and the trapezoidal external thread 211.

[0047] In some other embodiments, the rectangular internal thread 111 and the trapezoidal external thread 211 are both multi-start threads. Designing the rectangular internal thread 111 and the trapezoidal external thread 211 as multi-start threads can improve the load-bearing capacity and transmission efficiency of the threads, make the thread fit tighter, further enhance the stability and reliability of the connection, and meet the requirements of optical lenses for high precision and stability.
