Description

Optical mechanism

The present invention relates to an optical mechanism, and more particularly to an optical mechanism that can adjust the bearing position of a group frame.

For the existing photographic device, when the camera is turned on, the lens of the camera will extend out of the body to receive the image of the subject; when the camera is turned off, the lens groups of the lens will overlap each other to make the lens Retracted into the fuselage. As the camera becomes lighter and lighter, the overall structural requirements are becoming more and more sophisticated, so the lens group of the lens is designed to be a reversible structure, so that the total volume after lamination of the lens groups is smaller, such a reversible lens group is usually Designed to be movable between a working position and a retracted position and stably imaged on the image sensing element, when the lens group is flipped and moved to the working position when the camera is turned on, light is imaged through the lens group to image sense The measuring element, when the camera is turned off, the lens group is again flipped and moved to the retracted position, so that the components are housed in the body.

When the lens group is returned to the working position from the retracted position, the inner frame of the carrying lens can abut against an outer frame for the purpose of positioning, and the light passing through the lens group is imaged on the image sensing element. Hereinafter, in a conventional optical lens, the inner frame body abuts against the outer frame body.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, an outer frame 10 is disposed on a base (not shown). The base carries an image sensing component (not shown), and the outer frame 10 is located at the image sensing component. Above and A through hole 12 and a recess 14 are provided. An inner frame 20 is rotatably disposed on the outer frame 10 by a rotating shaft 30, and a lens group (not shown) can be carried on the inner frame 20. The inner frame body 20 is rotatable between a working position and a retracted position.

Therefore, the dimensional accuracy of the bearing surface 24 and the boss 40 determines the optical sensitivity of the optical system, but in terms of current manufacturing capabilities, The dimensional accuracy of the facing surface 24 and the boss 40 still has some degree of error with respect to the requirements of the optical system.
