The present disclosure relates to the technical field of optical products, and in particular, to a zoom lens group.
A zoom lens group is a set of camera lenses, each of which can change its focal distance within a certain range to obtain view angles with different widths. The zoom lens group can change the imaging range by changing the focal distance without changing an imaging distance. One zoom lens group can be used as a number of fixed-focus camera lenses, thereby decreasing the number of photographic equipment that would be carried when traveling, and saving time for changing the camera lenses.
Multiple camera lenses are provided in the zoom lens group, and the focal distance of the zoom lens group can be adjusted by adjusting a distance between camera lenses. The zoom lens group in the related art cannot calibrate each camera lens when adjusting the position of each camera lens, and there is a certain radial offset between camera lenses. The zoom lens group is a precise device, even if the offset thereof is very small, it will still seriously affect an imaging effect, thereby causing a poor user experience.
The present disclosure provides a zoom lens group, which can calibrate the camera lenses, thereby increasing precision of the zoom lens group and improving the imaging effect.
The above and other purposes will be achieved by the features recited in the independent claims. Some implementations are illustrated in the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.

The camera lens can have a cylindrical shape, so a gap is formed between the camera lens and the transition portion arranged between the first cover wall and the second cover wall, which make it more suitable for installing the first magnetic device at the transition portion. The installation groove can be provided at the transition portion.
In an embodiment, the first cover wall is perpendicularly connected to the second cover wall, and each of a normal of the first magnetic device and a normal of the second magnetic device forms an angle of 45° with the first cover wall.
In the scheme described above, each of the normal of the first magnetic device and the normal of the second magnetic device forms the angle of 45° with the first cover wall, thus the second magnetic device is subjected to a magnetic attractive force at the angle of 45°, thereby calibrating each camera lens in two directions of the first cover wall and the second cover wall. In this way, the precision of the zoom lens group can be improved.
In an embodiment, each of the at least two camera lenses includes a lens barrel and a lens connected to the lens barrel, and the lens barrel includes a main body and a second magnetic device connected to the main body.

In this way, the imaging effect is improved, thereby providing better user experience.
As shown in
In the solution described above, the first magnetic device 3 can be a bar-shaped part, which is arranged along the direction along which the installation cavity 14 extends. The first magnetic device 3 is located at a side of the installation cavity 14. When the camera lens 2 is installed in the installation cavity 14, the first magnetic device 3 attracts each camera lens 2, and camera lenses 2 are subjected to a magnetic attractive force in a same direction, and are moved and positioned in a same direction due to a same direction in which theses camera lenses 2 are subjected to the force. After a position of the camera lens 2 is adjusted, the camera lens 2 has a very small offset. However, the zoom lens group is a precise device, even if the offset thereof is very small, it will still seriously affect an imaging effect. In this embodiment, camera lenses 2 are moved and positioned in a same direction under the magnetic attractive force supplied by the first magnetic device 3, such that the axes of the respective camera lenses 2 can coincide with each other. Therefore, a precision of the zoom camera lens 2 is significantly improved.

Moreover, embedding the first magnetic device 3 in the installation groove 131 can improve installation stability of the first magnetic device 3. Embedding the first magnetic device 3 in the installation groove can also decrease a space occupied by the first magnetic device 3 in the installation cavity 14, thereby preventing the first magnetic device 3 from contacting the camera lens 2 to affect the calibration precision.

In the embodiment, each of the normal k of the first magnetic device 3 and a normal of the second magnetic device 2111 forms an angle of 45°, such that the second magnetic device 2111 is subjected to a magnetic attractive force at the 45° angle, thereby calibrating each camera lens 2.

Two lenses 2 have same zero contact surfaces at cover in two directions, such as X direction and Y direction, that is, the cover 1 creates a guide structure from a same surface for the two lenses 2. The same zero contact surfaces at cover in two directions for both lenses means that the cover creates guiding element from same surfaces for both lenses. Magnets pulls both lenses against cover guiding surfaces. An X-guiding surface and a Y-guiding surface are made in same process step for both lenses, which minimizes the location variation between the lenses. In an embodiment, the first magnetic device 3 attracts the two lenses 2 to a guide surface of the cover 1. For the two lenses 2, guide surfaces of the first cover wall 11 and the second cover wall 12 of the cover 1 are manufactured in a same process step, which minimizes location variation between the lenses 2.

In this way, the magnetic attractive force between the second magnetic device 2111 and the first magnetic device 3 is enhanced, thereby improving the calibration precision.
In an embodiment, the installation base 2112 includes a groove, and the second magnetic device 2111 is embedded in the groove.
In the embodiment, the groove provided in the installation base 2112 can facilitate installation of the second magnetic device 2111, thereby improving an installation efficiency.

As shown in
In the embodiment, the first magnetic device 3 does not contact the second magnetic device 2111, and a gap is formed between the first magnetic device 3 and the second magnetic device 2111. Therefore, there is no friction between the first magnetic device 3 and the second magnetic device 2111 when the camera lens 2 slides, thereby decreasing the sliding resistance of the camera lens 2.
As shown in
It should be noted that each camera lens 2 is provided with at least one second magnetic device 2111. When the camera lens 2 has a large length, a same camera lens 2 can be provided with multiple second magnetic devices 2111, and the multiple second magnetic devices 2111 are space apart from each other and located at a same side of the camera lens 2.
