[Prior Art] Conventionally, as a method for fitting a lens to a lens frame, the lens is fitted to a specified position on the lens frame (or lens barrel) according to a specified fitting tolerance, and screws, springs, etc.
Alternatively, the lens is fixed by tightening it in the optical axis direction using a presser frame. When a lens is made of a resin material, or when a lens is fixed to a lens frame with strict precision, the tightening pressure using a presser frame causes distortion of the lens surface. In order to prevent distortion of the lens surface, efforts were made to prevent the lens fixing pressure from being concentrated in one place by inserting an elastic member in the optical axis direction and using a spring-like holding frame, but the radial direction No consideration was given to preventing distortion of the lens surface due to pressure.

When using the above-mentioned conventional technology, if the fitting state of the lens and the lens frame changes due to a difference in the materials of the lens and the lens, or due to changes in the environment, this effect cannot be alleviated. There were flaws. For example, if the fit between the mirror frame and lens is difficult,
If the lens is placed in a low-temperature environment, the lens will be tightened by the lens frame due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the lens frame made of metal or resin and the glass material of the lens, causing deformation of the lens surface.
In some cases, destruction of the lens occurs. In addition, if the lens frame is made of metal or resin with low water absorption, and the lens is made of resin with high water absorption and expansion coefficient, such as PMMA (a type of acrylic resin), the lens may be exposed to high humidity. If the lens is left in an environment of As a countermeasure to this problem, it seems that the fitting between the lens and the lens frame is supported at 5 to 8 points by line contact such as ribs, and the expansion of the lens is absorbed by deforming the lens frame. Even with this method, if there is a large change in the lens outer diameter, the lens will deform into a pentagonal or octagonal shape, so although permanent distortion and destruction of the lens can be prevented, it basically prevents deformation of the lens surface. I can't.

In addition, if a large fitting tolerance is set to avoid changes in the fitting condition due to expansion and contraction of the lens or lens frame, the fitting will be loose in the absence of expansion and contraction, which may cause the lens to become eccentric with respect to the optical axis or become unstable. Therefore, such a conventional lens fixing method is not preferable for a lens structure in which expansion and contraction are likely to occur between the lens and the lens frame.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention buffers changes in the fitting state in the radial direction at the fitting portion between the lens and the lens frame without causing eccentricity of the lens, and prevents distortion of the lens frame or lens surface. , an object of the present invention is to provide a lens structure that prevents breakage.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above objective is to provide a belt-shaped ring with a notch between the radial outer circumferential portion of the lens of the present invention and the inner surface of the lens frame, and the rising portions of the ring are alternately shaped like a mirror. This is achieved by a lens structure that holds the lens on the lens frame by providing an elastic member of a leaf spring shaped to form a frame side fitting part and a lens side fitting part.

[Function] The present invention dares to challenge the fixed concept that it is undesirable to provide an elastic member on the outer periphery of a lens in the radial direction because it disturbs the optical axis of the lens. Nowadays, lenses are being held in the lens frame, and the elastic member absorbs the strain caused by the difference in expansion coefficient between the lens and the lens frame due to environmental changes. The deviation in the optical axis direction was solved by symmetrically or evenly arranging the elastic members provided on the outer periphery of the lens while preventing permanent distortion and destruction of the lens. It was also confirmed that the lens can be held much better in the embodiments of the present invention, and the correct optical axis can be maintained, compared to the conventional deviation in the optical axis direction due to backlash, which is provided in consideration of the expansion coefficient and the like.

[Effects of the Invention] The present invention solves the problem of fitting between the inner diameter of the lens frame and the outer diameter of the lens, which was considered to be a fate in the past, and in particular, eliminates the difference in expansion coefficient due to heat and humidity between the lens and the lens frame. This eliminates the problems that occur when the lens is large, such as eccentricity of the held lens, distortion of the lens surface, and lens breakage, and provides a lens structure that can withstand use under particularly severe conditions of environmental changes. It has become a thing.
