Camera Lens Protective Shell with Rotating Plates
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional camera lenses lack a protective device, making them susceptible to scratches and damage, which is a significant concern given their importance in imaging quality and the high cost associated with high-quality lenses.
Innovation Solution
A camera lens with a protective shell is designed, featuring a base with a protective shell comprising a support plate, tube, threaded rod, connecting plate, gear lever, rotary gears, and protective plates that can be opened and closed to protect the lens, along with sliding grooves for focusing tubes to facilitate lens adjustments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a protective shell is added to the camera lens, then the lens is protected from scratches and damage, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective shell is divided into multiple components including a support plate, tube, threaded rod, connecting plate, gear lever, rotary gears, and protective plates. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function while collectively providing comprehensive protection for the lens.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective plates are designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing them to open and close to protect the lens. The dynamic structure includes threaded rods for opening/closing the protective plates, and rotary disks for rotating the protective plates, enabling the protection mechanism to adapt between protected and accessible states.
2Reliability
If a protective shell with multiple components is designed, then the protection effect is enhanced, but the ease of manufacture decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective shell is divided into multiple components including a support plate, tube, threaded rod, connecting plate, gear lever, rotary gears, and protective plates. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific function while collectively providing comprehensive protection for the lens.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective shell components are nested within each other, with the protective plates positioned on the rotary gears, which are on the gear lever, which is on the connecting plate, which is on the threaded rod, which is on the tube, which is on the support plate. This nested arrangement compactly organizes the multiple components.
3Reliability
If protective plates are added to cover the lens, then the lens is protected from damage, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The protective plates are designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing them to open and close to protect the lens. The dynamic structure includes threaded rods for opening/closing the protective plates, and rotary disks for rotating the protective plates, enabling the protection mechanism to adapt between protected and accessible states.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective shell mechanism is designed to be operable by the user through simple actions such as rotating the threaded rod or the rotary disk, which automatically activates the gear lever and rotary gears to open or close the protective plates, allowing the system to serve itself without requiring complex external control mechanisms.

AI summary
The invention relates to the technical field of camera devices and discloses a camera lens with a protective shell. The camera lens comprises a base. A protective shell is disposed on one side of an outer surface of the base and comprises a support plate. A tube is disposed on one side of an outer surface of the support plate. A threaded rod is disposed on one side of an outer surface of the tube. According to the camera lens with a protective shell, the threaded rod drives the connecting plate to move when rotating, then the connecting plate drives the gear lever to move to drive the rotary gears on front and back side to rotate, and then the protective plates rotate around the rotary gears to be opened to allow the camera to be used. In this way, the camera lens is protected.
