Description

Lens zoom structure and image capturing device thereof

The invention relates to a lens zooming structure and an image capturing device thereof, in particular to a lens zooming structure and a video capturing method thereof for driving a driving screw by using a driving unit for zooming or focusing. Device.

With the development of digital camera technology, most of the people in today's society are accustomed to using digital camera phones, digital cameras, digital cameras, digital monocular cameras or stereo camera cameras to record the bits and pieces of life, so the image capture device has become a society today. A very important and indispensable product.

In the current market, most cameras have zoom and focus functions. The zoom function of the camera allows the user to adjust the range of the camera's viewing angle at the same position in response to the camera's needs, and zoom in through the camera's viewing angle range. Or narrowing down to overcome the problem of the range of viewing angles that can not be achieved by users in the environment, so the demand and development of zoom lenses on the market has become an increasingly popular trend for the mainstream and users. However, the current zoom modes are mostly classified into two types: a sunken type (outer zoom type) or a periscope type (inside zoom type), in which the outer zoom type lens is telescopically movable to extend to the outside of the body, but most of the external zoom type The lens is set such that its axis is perpendicular to the body, so that the thickness of the body is not easily thinned or reduced due to the lens when the camera is designed. In contrast, the periscope lens mostly performs zooming and focusing operations inside the body, and it can be disposed in the body by using an additional set of mirrors so that the lens can be parallel to the body. Therefore, the design of the thickness of the body can be reduced to the width of the lens without any other factors, thereby reducing the thickness of the camera.

However, in the conventional lens zoom and focus mode, most of the two motors are used to drive the lens for zooming and focusing, and with two motors, the lens takes up most of the design space. Due to the use of two motors, the design of the product is difficult to further miniaturize and reduce the thickness. There is also a part of the design to achieve the purpose of miniaturization and thinning of the product by using a micro motor.

The carrier 14 , a focusing mirror carrier 15 , a mirror 16 and a driving unit 17 . The housing 10 has an accommodating space 101, and a first zoom lens group 102 is embedded on one side wall 1011 of the accommodating space 101. The driving screw 11 is disposed inside the accommodating space 101 of the housing 10, and one end thereof is connected to one side wall of the accommodating space 101. The drive screw 11 has a driving portion 111 fixed to the end adjacent to the driving screw 11 , and a focusing driving portion 112 is fixed adjacent to the other end of the driving screw 11 , and between the driving portion 111 and the focusing driving portion 112 .

The two ends of the plurality of guiding rods 14 can be connected to one side wall 1011 and the other side wall of the accommodating space 101.

The mirror 16 may be disposed outside the housing 10 and adjacent to the first zoom lens group 102. The mirror 16 can be a flat surface lens, and the mirror 16 can be at an angle of 45 degrees with the image light of the object, so that the image light of the object can be reflected by the mirror 16 to enter the first A zoom lens group 102. The imaging is performed by the displacement changes of the first zoom lens group 102, the second zoom lens group 144, and the focus lens group 153. It should be noted that the first zoom lens group 102, the second zoom lens group 144, and the focus lens group 153 are disposed corresponding to each other, that is, all of the three are located on the optical axis refracted by the mirror 16. In practical applications, the axis of the driving screw 11 can be parallel to the optical axis to achieve the purpose of zooming by the relative displacement of the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 144. The focus is achieved by the relative displacement of the focusing mirror group 153 and the zoom lens group (the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 122).

The drive unit 17 is located at the end of the drive screw 11 and meshes with the drive portion 111, which may be a direct drive motor or a stepper motor. When the driving unit 17 drives the driving screw 11 to rotate, the zoom lens carrier 14 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 are respectively axially displaced along the axial direction of the driving screw 11 to make the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens The group 144 produces a relative movement or a focus lens group 153 and a zoom lens group (the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 144) are relatively moved to achieve zooming or focusing.

When the zoom lens carrier 14 is axially displaced, the second zoom lens group 144 is displaced relative to the first zoom lens group 102 fixed to the housing 10 to perform a zooming operation. When the zooming action is completed, the driving unit 17 drives the driving auger 11 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the protruding portion 121 does not touch the zoom contact portion 142 of the zoom lens carrier 14, and the zoom driving member 12 rotates backward with the driving screw 11 And the axial displacement is not performed, and the zoom lens carrier 14 is not axially displaced, so that the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 144 maintain the relative distance when the zooming operation is completed. At this time, the focus contact portion 152 of the focus mirror carrier 15 is displaced along the spiral bevel 1121 of the focus drive portion 112 to axially displace the focus mirror carrier, thereby causing the focus mirror group 153 to be opposite to the zoom lens group. Move to zoom. In short, when the projection 121 of the zoom drive member 12 is in contact with one side of the zoom contact portion 142 of the zoom lens holder 14 to be displaced to the other side of the touch zoom contact portion 142, the lens zoom structure 1 can be in focus. The action. It should be noted that the zoom lens carrier 14 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 can pass through the first through hole 141 and the second through hole 151 through the plurality of guiding rods 13, respectively, so that the zoom lens carrier 14 and the focusing mirror are carried. When the frame 15 is axially displaced, it is further guided by a plurality of guide bars 13, and axial displacement can be performed more smoothly to complete operations such as zooming or focusing.

Please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 together. FIG. 3 is a first schematic view of the first embodiment of the lens zoom structure of the present invention; FIG. 4 is a first embodiment of the lens zoom structure of the present invention. The second schematic. In the present embodiment, the related connection or actuation relationship of the lens zoom structure 1 is similar to the above, and will not be described here for the sake of brevity. As shown in the figure, the lens zoom structure 1 of the present invention can be applied to an image capturing device with a periscope camera lens, wherein the image capturing device 3 includes: a lens zooming structure 1, a mirror 15, and a driving unit. 16. Image sensing component 30, control button 31 and processing unit 32. The image sensing component 30 is disposed inside the casing 10, and may be a Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) or a Charge-Coupled-Device (CCD), analog/digital. Circuits, image processors, etc. When the optical signal of the object enters by the mirror 16, the optical signal is converted to be received by the first zoom lens group 102 via the reflection of the mirror 16, and then passed through the second zoom lens group 144 and the focus mirror group 153. The displacement changes so that the optical signal is properly imaged to the image sensing element 30. The image sensing component 30 converts the optical signal into a digital signal and displays or stores a storage unit (not shown) in a display unit (not shown). The processing unit 32 is electrically connected to the driving unit 17 , the image sensing element 30 and the control button 31 .

When the user presses a control button 31 (such as a shutter button) of the image capturing device 3, the processing unit 32 of the image capturing device 3 receives the command signal, and controls the driving unit 17 according to the command signal to make the driving unit 17 The drive screw 11 is driven to rotate in the forward direction. When the drive screw 11 performs the forward rotation, the zoom drive member 12 first performs axial displacement as the drive auger 11 rotates forward until the projection 121 touches one side of the zoom contact portion 142. When the zoom driving member 12 is axially displaced, the zoom lens carrier 14 is axially displaced, and the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 144 can be adjusted to an appropriate distance to adjust one. Optical signal of the appropriate range of viewing angles. When the optical signal adjustment of the appropriate viewing angle range is completed, the driving unit 17 drives the driving screw 11 to rotate in the reverse direction according to the control command. At this time, the zoom driving member 12 is reversely rotated along with the driving auger 11 at the protruding portion 121. The zoom driving member 12 does not generate an axial displacement during the process of touching one side of the zoom contact portion 142 to the other side; that is, there is no distance between the first zoom lens group 102 and the second zoom lens group 144. The change. The focus contact portion 152 of the focus lens holder 15 bears against the focus drive portion 112. When the driving screw 11 rotates in the reverse direction, the focus driving unit 112 synchronously rotates in the reverse direction, and the focus of the focus contact portion 152 is pulled by the spiral inclined surface 1121, thereby driving the focus lens carrier 15 to perform axial displacement, and the focusing mirror group 153 is The zoom lens group produces a relative displacement to adjust the optical signal of the appropriate range of viewing angles to an optical signal of a clear appropriate range of viewing angles and imaged on one of the image sensing surfaces of the image sensing element 30.

The first elastic member 18 can be sleeved on the rod 13 of the side wall 1011 of the accommodating space 101 and the zoom lens carrier 14 , and the length of the first elastic member 18 can be made larger than the length. The maximum distance between the side wall 1011 and the zoom lens carrier 14 is such that the zoom bearing portion 143 of the zoom lens carrier 14 abuts against one side of the zoom drive member 12 by the elastic restoring force of the first elastic member 18, so that the zoom lens The carrier 14 is more reliably pushed by the zoom drive member 12. In the above, the maximum distance between the side wall 1011 and the zoom lens carrier 14 may be that the zoom mirror carrier 14 is located closest to the image sensing element 30, and the distance from the side wall 1011 is the largest. Similarly, a second elastic member 19 can be disposed on the rod 13 of the guide rod 13 between the side wall 1011 of the accommodating space 101 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 to restore the elastic force of the second elastic member 19. The focus contact portion 152 is more reliably displaced along the spiral slope 1121 of the focus drive portion 112. The maximum distance between the side wall 1011 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 may be that the focusing mirror carrier 15 is located closest to the image sensing element 30, and the distance from the side wall 1011 is the largest.

Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 together. FIG. 5 is a first schematic view of a second embodiment of the lens zoom structure of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a second embodiment of the lens zoom structure of the present invention. The second schematic. In the present embodiment, the related connection or actuation relationship of the lens zoom structure 1 is similar to the above, and will not be described here for the sake of brevity. As shown in the figure, the lens zoom structure 1 of the present invention comprises: a housing 10, a driving screw 11, a carrier driving member 20, a plurality of guiding rods 13, a zoom mirror carrier 14, and a focusing mirror carrier. 15. At least a third elastic member 21, a mirror 16, and a driving unit 17. The driving screw 11 is a rod body having a threaded structure, and one end thereof is connected to one side wall 1011 of the accommodating space 101. The driving screw 11 has a driving portion 111 fixed to the end adjacent to the driving screw 11, and a rod movable pin adjacent to the driving screw 11 is provided with a carrier driving member 20. The carrier driving member 20 has a spiral inclined surface 201 and a flat surface 202, and a stop portion 2011, 2012 is respectively disposed at both ends of the spiral inclined surface 201. The zoom bearing portion 143 of the zoom mirror carrier 14 bears against the plane 202. The focusing mirror carrier 15 extends to the carrier driving member 20 to provide a focusing contact portion 152, and the focusing contact portion 152 bears against the spiral bevel 201. The third elastic member 21 is disposed between the zoom lens carrier 14 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 , and the two ends thereof are respectively fixed to the zoom mirror carrier 14 and the focusing mirror carrier 15 .

When the driving unit 17 drives the driving screw 11 to rotate in the forward direction, if one of the stopping portions 2011, 2012 does not touch the focusing contact portion 152, the carrier driving member 20 first rotates without axial displacement until it is therein. A stop portion 2011, 2012 touches the focus contact portion 152. When one of the stoppers 2011, 2012 touches the focus contact portion 152, the carrier driver 20 does not axially displace with the rotation of the drive screw 11. When the carrier driving member 20 is axially displaced, the plane 202 is pushed against the zoom bearing portion 143, and the zoom lens carrier 14 is axially displaced, and the elastic force is restored by the third elastic member 21 to focus. The mirror carrier 15 is axially displaced together. The axial displacement of the zoom mirror carrier 14 also causes the second zoom lens group 144 to be displaced relative to the first zoom lens group 102, and the appropriate spacing between the two can be adjusted to complete the zooming action.

When the focusing operation is completed, the driving unit 17 drives the driving screw 11 to rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the focusing contact portion 152 is separated from one of the stoppers 2011, 2012, and is rotationally displaced without the shaft. The focus contact portion 152 is pulled by the spiral bevel 201 and displaced along the spiral bevel 201, causing the focus lens carrier 15 to generate an axial displacement, thereby driving the focus mirror group 153 and the zoom lens group to be relatively displaced. Adjust the focus lens group 153 and the zoom lens group to an appropriate distance to complete the focusing action. It should be noted that the length of the non-elasticity of the third elastic member 21 is smaller than the minimum distance between the zoom lens carrier 14 and the focusing mirror carrier 15, so that the zoom lens carrier 14 can be pulled together when axially displaced. The focus mirror carrier 15 is axially displaced; and it allows the focus contact portion 152 to more reliably bear against the spiral bevel 201 and is displaced along the spiral bevel 201.

In summary, the lens zoom structure and the image capturing device of the present invention can be designed by the combination of the zoom screw portion of the driving screw, the zoom driving member and the focusing driving portion, so that the lens zooming structure and the image capturing device thereof Only a single drive unit can be used to drive the zoom or focus action, which reduces the space required for the product and reduces the number of parts used, resulting in miniaturization, thinning and reduced material costs.

The above is intended to be illustrative only and not limiting. Any equivalent modifications or alterations to the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included in the scope of the appended claims.
