Abstract

A lens device includes a housing; a first lens set having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is fixed on one of the housing and a first stage, and a moving space is formed between the second end and the housing; a second stage disposed on the housing, and slidable in the moving space; and a second lens set disposed on the second stage, and configured to perform a focusing function of the lens device.

Claims (18)

1 . A lens device, comprising:

a housing having a first end and a second end opposite to the first end;

a first track disposed from the first end to the second end in the housing;

a second track disposed from the first end to the second end in the housing, and located opposite to the first track;

a first stage movably disposed on the first track, and bearing thereon a first lens set;

a second stage movably disposed on the second track, and bearing thereon a second lens set;

a third lens set and a first ducking space disposed at the first end; and

a fourth lens set and a second ducking space disposed at the second end, wherein:

a first distance between the first lens set and the second track is greater than a first thickness of the second stage, and a second distance between the second lens set and the first track is greater than a second thickness of the first stage;

the lens device has an optical axis;

each of the first lens set, the second lens set, the third lens set, and the fourth lens set has a cross section perpendicular to the optical axis; and

the cross section of each of the first lens set, the second lens set, the third lens set, and the fourth lens set has an upper surface and a lower surface parallel to each other and approximates a rectangular shape having the upper surface and the lower surface parallel; to each other.

2 . The lens device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first stage is parallel to the second stage.

3 . The lens device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first stage and the second stage are slidably disposed in the housing.

4 . The lens device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the housing further has a first side for the first stage to slide therealong, and a second side for the second stage to slide therealong.

5 . The lens device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a first moving space is formed between the first side and the second lens set for the first stage to pass therethrough, and a second moving space is formed between the second side and the first lens set for the second stage to pass therethrough.

6 . The lens device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a first coil set is further disposed on the first side, and a second coil set is further disposed on the second side.

7 . The lens device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first and the second stages each is equipped with a magnetic inducing element.
