Abstract

A camera capable of automatically compensating focal length includes a base, an adjust seat, and a lens barrel. The adjust seat includes a first ring, a second ring, and a connecting member. The first ring and the second ring are coaxially sleeved with each other and a distance is kept between the first ring and the second ring. The first ring includes a first end and a second end that are axially opposite to each other. The first end is fixed on the base. The second ring includes a third end and a fourth end that are axially opposite to each other. The third end is connected to the second end of the first ring via the connecting member. The fourth end has a first coupling part. The lens barrel has a second coupling part correspondingly coupled to the first coupling part.

Claims (14)

1. A camera capable of automatically compensating focal

length, comprising:

a base;

an adjust seat comprising a first ring, a second ring, and a connecting member, wherein the first ring and the second ring are coaxially sleeved with each other and a distance is kept between the first ring and the second ring, the first ring comprises a first end and a second end that are axially opposite to each other, the first end is fixed on the base, the second ring comprises a third end and a fourth end that are axially opposite to each other, the third end is fixedly connected to the second end of the first ring via the connecting member, the fourth end, with respect to the third end, is distant from the second end, the fourth end has a first coupling part; and

a lens barrel having a second coupling part, wherein the second coupling part is correspondingly coupled to the first coupling part;

wherein the first coupling part comprises a third ring and a radial connecting member, the third ring comprises a fifth end and a sixth end that are axially opposite to each other, the fifth end is connected to the fourth end of the second ring via the radial connecting member, the sixth end of the third ring is coupled to the lens barrel,

wherein the first coupling part is an inner thread portion and the second coupling part is an outer thread portion for threading with the inner thread portion.

2. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the first ring and the second ring have the same coefficient of thermal expansion.

3. The camera according to claim 2 , wherein the first ring and the second ring have the same axial length.

4. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the first ring and the second ring have different coefficients of thermal expansion.

5. The camera according to claim 4 , wherein the first ring and the second ring have different axial lengths.

6. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is fixed connected between an end surface of the second end of the first ring and an end surface of the third end of the second ring.

7. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is between the first ring and the second ring.

8. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting member has a groove, the second end of the first ring or the third end of the second ring is received in the groove.
