Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lens assembly technology, and in particular to a tooling for fitting deep lens barrel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of optical lens assembly, the installation accuracy of the pressure ring inside the lens barrel has a critical impact on the optical performance of the lens. However, there are two major technical pain points in the traditional installation process that urgently need to be addressed.

[0003] In existing technologies, when installing the internal retaining ring of a deep lens barrel, tweezers are used to drive the retaining ring to rotate inside the deep lens barrel for assembly. From a tool compatibility perspective, the long tweezers used have inherent defects in torque transmission mechanisms. Due to the long lever arm formed by the deep structure of the lens barrel, the flexible gripping method of long tweezers is difficult to effectively transmit the operating torque to the threaded pair of the retaining ring, resulting in insufficient thread preload. The retaining ring is prone to loosening under long-term vibration. At the same time, the lack of elastic buffer between the metal contact parts of the tweezers and the inner wall of the lens barrel or the lens coating, during fine-tuning operations in a confined space, is due to blind spots and operational precision limitations, which can easily generate rigid friction, causing scratches on the inner wall of the lens barrel or damage to the lens coating, thus affecting the imaging quality of the optical system. In terms of force uniformity control, the traditional operation mode of directly using a threaded wrench has significant drawbacks. The single-point force application characteristics of the threaded wrench are incompatible with the annular thread structure of the retaining ring, making it difficult to ensure uniform distribution of circumferential torque during tightening, resulting in radial deviation of the retaining ring. This misalignment causes uneven axial pressure on the lens, which can range from minor optical axis shift affecting image quality to severe stress concentration leading to edge chipping and irreversible assembly defects. Particularly in high-precision optical systems, this accumulated error can have a systemic impact on overall performance, becoming a technical bottleneck restricting product reliability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a tooling suitable for deep lens barrel assembly, solving the problem of high assembly difficulty caused by the lack of specialized tools in existing deep lens barrel assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A tooling for assembling deep microscope tubes includes a force transmission cylinder, the bottom of which is detachably connected to a grooved cutting edge; after the force transmission cylinder extends into the inside of the microscope tube, the grooved cutting edge is embedded in the groove of the pressure ring inside the microscope tube.

[0007] In this design, after the force transmission cylinder drives the grooved blade to extend into the lens barrel, the force transmission cylinder is rotated so that the grooved blade is embedded in the groove of the pressure ring. At this time, rotating the force transmission cylinder causes the grooved blade to drive the pressure ring to rotate, thereby achieving assembly. The use of a force transmission cylinder to extend the working depth can meet the requirements of deep lens assembly and adjustment, and the assembly is convenient. At the same time, during the assembly process, the bottom of the force transmission cylinder abuts against the pressure ring, which limits the pressure ring and prevents radial deviation of the pressure ring. This ensures the uniform distribution of circumferential torque during tightening and prevents lens edge chipping caused by local stress concentration.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the force transmission cylinder is provided with a toothed groove, and one end of the pressure groove blade is stuck in the toothed groove.

[0009] In this design, the grooved blade can be directly pressed into the toothed groove at the bottom of the force transmission cylinder, which makes it easy to select a force transmission cylinder of appropriate diameter and install the grooved blade.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the pressure groove blade away from the force transmission cylinder is a wedge-shaped tooth, and the thickness at the tip of the wedge-shaped tooth is designed to be tapered.

[0011] In this design, the wedge-shaped teeth allow the pressure-grooving blade to be easily embedded into the tooth groove at the bottom of the power transmission cylinder during rotation.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom of the force transmission cylinder is provided with several toothed grooves, which are evenly distributed along the circumference; two pressure groove knife blades are provided, and the two pressure groove knife blades are fixed in two toothed grooves at both ends of the radial direction of the force transmission cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, a force-applying handle is provided at the end of the force-transmitting cylinder away from the pressure groove blade.

[0014] In this solution, the force transmission cylinder is rotated by applying force to increase torque and improve the thread preload of the pressure ring assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the force application handle is tapped with an external thread; two threaded holes are respectively opened on both sides of the force transmission cylinder along the radial direction, and the two force application handles are respectively threaded into the two threaded holes.

[0016] Furthermore, the force transmission cylinder is made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0017] In this solution, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material can prevent distortion of assembly accuracy caused by thermal deformation.

[0018] Furthermore, the material of the grooved blade is 45# steel.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] The tooling provided by this utility model for assembling deep lens barrels utilizes a force transmission cylinder to drive a grooving knife-edge paddle into the lens barrel. The grooving knife-edge paddle is embedded in the groove of the pressure ring. While rotating the force transmission cylinder, the grooving knife-edge paddle drives the pressure ring to rotate, thereby achieving assembly. The assembly is convenient and efficient.

[0021] During assembly, the bottom of the force transmission cylinder abuts against the pressure ring, limiting the pressure ring and preventing radial deviation. This ensures a uniform distribution of circumferential torque during tightening and prevents lens edge chipping caused by localized stress concentration. Attached Figure Description
