Abstract:
A device for controlling a rotation of a lens in a digital camera includes a lens connected to and exposed out of the housing of a digital camera and a motor disposed within the housing of the digital camera. The lens is provided with a shaft which extends through the housing to have an end extending into the interior of the housing which is disposed with a follower gear. The motor has a drive spindle which is disposed with a driving gear. A set of reduction gears are disposed between and engageable with the follower gear on the shaft of the lens and the driving gear on the drive spindle of the motor. By means of the rotation of the motor, the lens is rotatable horizontally, while the digital camera remains stationary, to a desired direction in order to take a picture.
Abstract:
A lens movement mechanism for digital camera includes a lens set which has a composite lens and a Charged Couple Device built therein, a first movement member for turning the lens set angularly left or right, and a second movement member for turning the lens set angularly up or down. The first movement member includes a bracket piovtly holding the lens set and a gear set for turning the bracket and the lens set left or right angularly. The second movement member includes a slant block with a slope surface contact with a rear end of the lens set so that when the slant block is moved transversely, the lens set will be tilted up or down angularly. Therefore the lens set may be turned left or right, up or down smoothly and precisely without a user's hand moving the lens set directly. The lens may be prevented from hand smearing. Higher photo quality may be achieved.
Abstract:
A moveable lens apparatus for digital camera includes a CCD lens set, a first motion mechanism having a bracket pivotally holding the lens set and a first gear set for driving the bracket and the lens set to rotate left or right angularly, and a second motion mechanism having a guide slidably engageable with a rear end of the lens set, a gear rack vertically attached to the guide and a second gear set for driving the gear rack and the guide up or down so that the lens set may be swung pivotally up or down. The first and second gear set may be actuated manually or by motors. The lens set thus may be moved and rotated smoothly and precisely without a user's hand directly touching the lens set.
Abstract:
An extended adjusting mechanism for the lens set of an imaging system, which utilizes motion connection means between the main body and the lens set of the imaging system to enlarge the view scope of the imaging system, comprises the lens set for viewing and recording and a connection carrier located at one side of the main body. The connection carrier, which is a carrier for the lens set, further comprises a base connected rotationally to the main body and a dumb-bell connection as a motion junction means between the base and the lens set.
Abstract:
An adjusting mechanism for the lens set of an imaging system, which is applied to digital photo-taking system, monitoring system, and the like for precisely adjusting the lens set thereon, comprising a pivoting means located inside the imaging system for providing rotation capability to the lens set having the rotation center located at the pivoting means and close to the anchoring end of the lens set; a driving means, located inside the imaging system, for driving the lens set to rotate around the pivoting means; and a human-machine interface for facilitating the operator to control the driving means indirectly.
