LENS BARREL UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345459 titled 'LENS BARREL UNIT
The abstract describes a lens barrel unit that includes a lens unit with at least one lens, an optical-filter holding member, and a drive member. The optical-filter holding member can hold an optical filter and be inserted into or removed from the light path of the lens. The drive member is responsible for inserting or removing the optical-filter holding member into or from the light path. Additionally, the drive member engages with the optical-filter holding member and has an opening that aligns with the optical axis of the lens unit.
- Lens barrel unit with lens unit, optical-filter holding member, and drive member
- Optical-filter holding member can hold and insert/remove optical filters in the light path
- Drive member inserts/removes optical-filter holding member and aligns with optical axis
- Lens unit is partially arranged in the opening of the drive member
Potential Applications: - Photography equipment - Optical instruments - Scientific research tools
Problems Solved: - Easy insertion and removal of optical filters - Precise alignment with the optical axis - Efficient operation of lens barrel unit
Benefits: - Enhanced functionality of optical devices - Improved image quality - Simplified maintenance and operation
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Lens Barrel Units for Optical Devices This technology can be used in cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and other optical devices, enhancing their performance and usability in various industries such as photography, astronomy, and research.
Questions about Lens Barrel Units: 1. How does the drive member align with the optical axis of the lens unit? The drive member has an opening that penetrates in the direction of the optical axis, ensuring precise alignment. 2. What are the potential benefits of using optical filters in the light path of the lens unit? Optical filters can improve image quality, reduce glare, enhance color accuracy, and provide creative effects in photography and other optical applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
a lens barrel unit includes a lens unit including at least one lens, an optical-filter holding member, and a drive member. the optical-filter holding member holds an optical filter and is insertable into and removable from a light path of the at least one lens. the drive member inserts or removes the optical-filter holding member into or from the light path. the drive member further engages with the optical-filter holding member and has an opening penetrating in a direction of an optical axis of the at least one lens. at least part of the lens unit is arranged in the opening of the drive member.
