Solution Overview

Problem

Large outer diameters of light-shielding sheets in lens modules cause instability and lead to line glare due to gaps between the sheets and fixing components, resulting in suboptimal image quality.

Innovation Solution

The lens module design incorporates light-shielding sheets with outer diameters that differ by 0.01-0.02 mm from the inner diameters of the lens cone, ensuring stable installation by preventing folding and maintaining a precise fit, thereby enhancing image quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If the outer diameter of the light-shielding sheet is increased to improve light shielding coverage, then the light shielding effect is improved, but the sheet becomes easily folded and unstable in installation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight shielding effectVSAvoidinstallation stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the outer diameter of the light-shielding sheet to be 0.01-0.02 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the lens cone. This dimensional parameter adjustment prevents folding while maintaining effective light shielding coverage, resolving the contradiction between shielding effectiveness and installation stability.

2Object-affected harmful factors

If the outer diameter of the light-shielding sheet is too large, then light shielding coverage is improved, but gaps are generated between the sheet and fixing component

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelight shielding coverageVSAvoidfit precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs parameter changes by optimizing the dimensional relationship between the light-shielding sheet and lens cone to a tolerance range of 0.01-0.02 mm. This precise parameter control ensures both adequate light shielding coverage and elimination of gaps that would compromise manufacturing precision.

3Stability of the object's composition

If the outer diameter of the light-shielding sheet is reduced to improve installation stability, then installation stability is improved, but light shielding coverage is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation stabilityVSAvoidlight shielding coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent resolves this contradiction through parameter changes by determining the optimal dimensional range where the sheet outer diameter is 0.01-0.02 mm smaller than the cone inner diameter. This parameter optimization achieves both installation stability and sufficient light shielding coverage simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
