Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of projector technology, specifically to an adjustable lens structure. Background Technology

[0002] To eliminate speckle, miniature laser projectors often use two compound eyes. The optical paths between the two compound eyes need to be aligned and coupled. The common method is to use an adjustable mirror module between the two compound eyes for adjustment. In this case, the optical path needs to be turned 90° once, which is not conducive to space utilization. By adjusting the structure of the lens (4), the lens (4) between the two compound eyes can move horizontally and vertically in the normal plane of the central axis, thereby realizing the coupling of the light spots between the two compound eyes without turning the optical path, which is conducive to improving space utilization.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-6 The embodiments provided by this utility model are as follows: Example: Includes a housing 1, inside which is provided a first compound eye 2, in front of which is provided a second compound eye 3, between which is provided a lens holder 5, on which is provided a lens 4, and on one side of the lens holder 5 is provided an adjustment bracket 9, and inside the housing 1 is provided a support beam, which is connected to the adjustment bracket 9.

[0017] The lens holder 5 has a lens body 4 on one side, and a lens pressure plate 6 on one side of the lens body 4. The lens pressure plate 6 is connected to the lens holder 5.

[0018] The top surface of the adjustment bracket 9 has a through hole, and the angle between the top surface and the vertical surface is 90°. The vertical surface of the adjustment bracket 9 has a thread hole and two oblong holes. There is a bend on each side of the vertical surface. The bottom plane has three oblong holes. One side of the bottom surface has an upward 90° bend, and there is a thread hole on this bend surface. The angle between the bottom surface and the vertical surface is 90°.

[0019] The lens holder 5 and the adjusting bracket 9 can be interlocked. Two positioning posts are provided on the back of the four-lens holder. These two positioning posts pass through two elongated holes on the adjusting bracket 9. The elongated holes on the lens holder 5 are bolted to the vertical surface of the adjusting bracket 9. The vertical spring 8 is placed between the recessed bottom surface of the lens holder 5 and the top surface of the adjusting bracket 9. The vertical adjusting screw 13 passes through a through hole on the top surface of the adjusting bracket 9, and the vertical spring 8 is connected to the recessed plane of the lens holder 5. A vertical fixing screw 12 is provided on one side of the vertical adjusting screw 13. The horizontal fixing screw 10 passes through the middle elongated hole of the adjusting bracket 9 and connects to the middle threaded hole on the crossbeam of the housing 1. The horizontal adjusting screw 11 passes through a through hole on one side of the housing 1.

[0020] The lens holder 5 has a recessed area at the top for receiving springs, an elongated through hole on the front with a center distance of L1, and two positioning posts on the back.

[0021] The angle between the vertical and bottom surfaces of the adjustment bracket 9 is 90°. The vertical surface has two elongated through holes with equal center-to-center distance L2, where L2 ≤ L1. The angle between the top surface and the vertical surface is 90°, and the top surface has a through hole.

[0022] The bottom surface of the adjusting bracket 9 has three oblong holes. The center distance between the middle oblong holes is L3, and the center distance between the two oblong holes on both sides is equal to L4, where L4 ≤ L3. There is a 90° bent plane on one side of the bottom surface, and there is a threaded hole on the plane.

[0023] The adjusting bracket 9 has a spring in the horizontal direction and a spring in the vertical direction.

[0024] By adjusting the lens 4, the two compound eye lenses 4 can move horizontally and vertically within the normal plane of the line connecting their central axes, thus achieving light spot coupling between the two compound eyes. With the horizontal fixing screw tightened, the adjusting bracket 9 is fixed to the crossbeam of the housing 1 and cannot be moved. The vertical fixing screw is loosened, but the connection remains intact. Turning the vertical adjusting screw 13 clockwise compresses the vertical spring 8, causing the lens bracket 5 to move in the positive vertical direction. Turning the vertical adjusting screw 13 counterclockwise extends the vertical spring 8, causing the lens bracket 5 to move in the negative vertical direction under the spring force. Once adjusted to the appropriate position, the horizontal fixing screw 10 is tightened. The vertical adjustment stroke is the distance between the centers of the elongated holes on the vertical surface of the adjusting bracket 9. Similarly, loosen the horizontal fixing screw while keeping the connection intact. Turn the horizontal adjusting screw 11 clockwise, compressing the horizontal spring 7 and moving the lens module 4 in the positive horizontal direction. Turn the horizontal adjusting screw 11 counterclockwise, extending the horizontal spring 7 and moving the lens module 4 in the negative horizontal direction under the spring force. Adjust to the appropriate position and tighten the horizontal fixing screw 10. The horizontal adjustment stroke is the distance between the centers of the elongated holes on both sides of the bottom surface of the adjusting bracket 9.
