Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectricity and machinery, in particular to a continuous focusing mechanism and a corresponding lens.
Background
The focal length of the lens objective is easy to defocus under the influence of various factors such as environmental temperature change and the like. To solve this problem, the modern industry usually employs an electromechanical adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of one of the lenses to compensate for the defocus of the focal length. The existing lens focusing mechanism generally drives a cylindrical cam sleeve to rotate relative to a lens barrel through a motor, so that the axial linear motion of the lens barrel is driven, and the automatic focusing function of the lens is finally realized.
In the adjusting mechanism, the cylindrical cam sleeve is mostly designed in a way that a curved ring groove with a circumferential angle smaller than 360 degrees is formed on the cylindrical surface of the cylindrical cam sleeve, and the motor gear drives the cylindrical cam sleeve to rotate so as to drive the guide screw to move along the curved ring groove. Because the two ends of the curve ring groove are respectively the starting point and the end point of the ring groove, when the guide screw approaches the end point of the curve groove, the mechanical limit structure arranged on the cylindrical cam sleeve contacts the potentiometer in advance, and the potentiometer sends an electric signal to feed back to the motor to force the cylindrical cam sleeve to stop rotating. The existing lens focusing structure has obvious defects: and a potentiometer must be arranged, once the potentiometer fails, when the guide screw directly moves to the two ends of the curve ring groove, the lens stops moving linearly, the motor still keeps running, and power cannot be output, so that the motor is easily damaged.
