[Prior Art] [0002] Conventional optical lenses are mostly made of glass. Since the manufacturing cost of glass lenses is relatively expensive, plastic optical lenses have appeared in the prior art. Plastic lenses have the advantages of low price and light weight, and are optical. It is getting more and more widely used in the field. [0003] For materials and shape-determined lenses, the focal length is a constant value. In practical applications, the zoom function is generally implemented for an optical module composed of several lenses. As shown in the first figure, the optical module 100 includes a first lens 102, a second lens 104, and an endoscope. The frame 106 and the outer frame 108, wherein the first lens 10 2 is mounted in the inner frame 106, the second lens 104 is mounted in the outer frame 108, and the outer frame 108 is fitted around the outer frame 106. The focal length of the optical module 100 is varied by varying the relative distance of the two frames 106 and 108 in the axial direction to vary the distance of the lenses 102 and 104 respectively mounted in the two frames. [0004] The zoom function of the optical module 1000 described above must divide the lenses into different frames, and the relative movement of the frames changes the distance between the lenses, thereby changing the focal length of the lens group. This type of zoom requires at least two frames, and assembly is cumbersome. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a zoom lens which is simple in structure, convenient in assembly, and capable of accurately controlling variations in lens focal length. Form No. A0101 Page 3 of 9 0993291881-0 [0006] 1338153 [0007] [0008] The m-side mirror includes a lens and a ceramic tile mounted around the lens, the lens having a constant elasticity When the piezoelectric m is energized, its length in the radial direction of the lens is elongated to cause squeezing of the lens, and the lens is deformed to change the focal length of the lens. Compared with the conventional technology, the (four) variable (four) mirror adds a piezoelectric ceramic film to the general Wei. When the zoom is needed, the piezoelectric ceramic tile can be energized to make the focal length of the lens follow the piezoelectric ceramic. The expansion and contraction changes accordingly. The zoom lens has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and is easy to operate, and can greatly improve production efficiency. [Embodiment] As shown in the second figure, the zoom lens 1 is mounted in a frame 4, which includes a lens 2 and a piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 mounted on the lens 2 of the lens. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 can undergo a stretching effect when energized, and the projection of the milk is caused to change the focal length of the lens 2. [0009] The brother 2 is a complex sigma lens, including the base layer 22, the upper composite layer, and the lower composite layer 26, the base layer 22 is made of glass, and the upper composite layer 24 and the lower composite layer are both plastic materials, such as PDMS (PGlydimethyisii Gxane), etc. . The layers of the lens 2 are joined together by adhesion, hot pressing, or the like. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is attached to the rust 锫 u A. Each of the side base layers 22 of the upper and lower composite layers 14 and 16 of the side mirror 2 has a bump 222 on each side thereof, and the inside of the frame 4 has two card slots 42 for the base layer 22 The zoom lens 222 is inserted into the card slot 42 of the frame 4 to mount the zoom lens 1 in the frame 4. [0010] 094113003 Piezoelectric shunt is an electrostrictive material that has a telescopic effect under the electric field to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Piezoelectric H after the power-on, the specific elongation and the electrical current of the electric current are turned off (4) Total HJ is not 1 ^ 338153 099 August 16th according to the value of the positive replacement page change 'Each value point corresponding __ voltage value. Piezoelectric ceramics are generally sheet-like or columnar, and their lengths are usually on the order of millimeters. Piezoelectric ceramics of different shapes and lengths can be used depending on the specific application. _] Under normal circumstances, the focal length of the lens 2 is constant, and when the focal length of the lens 2 is not satisfactory, the piezoelectric ceramic is energized, and the length h of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is increased, thereby on the upper side of the lens 2, The lower composite layer changes the shape of the two composite layers with "generating extrusion". Since the focal length of the lens is related to its mirror shape and thickness, the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 can be pressed against the lens 2 to make the lens 2 The focal length of the lens 2 is changed in advance. [0012] The focal length of the lens 2 can be changed in advance, and the relationship between the focal length of the lens 2 and the elongation of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is caused by the action of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 on the lens 2 during elongation. The amount--corresponding. The piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is grown to a specific numerical point by controlling the magnitude of the energization voltage, at which time the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is pressed against the lens 2 so that the lens 2 reaches a corresponding focal length. The focal length of the lens 2 can be precisely adjusted to the desired & value by controlling the voltage. [0013] Since the upper and lower composite layers 24 and 26 of the lens 2 are plastic materials, their n is a certain elasticity. Therefore, the recovery lens 2 is required. Normal focus When the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 is de-energized, its length is restored to the state before the energization, and the pressing action on the upper and lower composite layers 24 and 26 is also released, so that the shapes of the upper and lower composite layers 24 and 26 are released. Returning to the normal state, the focal length of the lens 2 is also restored. [0014] The amount of change in the shape of the lens 2 depends on the type of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3 and the magnitude of the energization voltage of the piezoelectric ceramic sheet 3. The composite layer 24 in the lens 2 0993291881-0 094113003 of 26 and Form No. A0101 Page 5 of 9 1338153 » The correction of the replacement page in the elastic range of August 16, 099, the focal length can be changed with the change of the voltage of the piezoelectric ceramic piece 3 [0015] The compound lens can reduce the occupied space and is easy to install, and the optical refractive index can be changed by changing the material of each layer to guide the light to a desired path. Of course, the lens 2 described above can also be a single lens. The single lens is injection molded or molded by a plastic material. A piezoelectric ceramic piece is mounted on the periphery thereof, and the piezoelectric ceramic piece is energized, and the length thereof is increased to cause the single lens to be deformed, so that the focal length thereof changes. Similarly, when it is necessary to restore the normal focal length, it is only necessary to electrically charge the piezoelectric ceramic piece. [0016] In summary, the present invention complies with the invention patent requirements, and patents are filed according to law. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, equivalent modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art of the present invention should be included in the following claims.
