Abstract

A lens adjusting mechanism including a base, a first fastening component, a first bracket, a second fastening component, a second bracket, and a lens is provided. The first fastening component is movably connected to the base along a first straight direction. The first bracket is movably connected to the base along the first straight direction through the first fastening component. The second fastening component is connected to the first bracket. The second bracket is movably connected to the first bracket along a second straight direction through the second fastening component, wherein the first straight direction is different from the second straight direction. The lens is disposed on the second bracket.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lens adjusting mechanism, comprising:
a base;
a first fastening component movably connected to the base along a first straight direction;
a first bracket movably connected to the base along the first straight direction through the first fastening component;
a second fastening component connected to the first bracket;
a second bracket movably connected to the first bracket along a second straight direction through the second fastening component, wherein the first straight direction is different from the second straight direction; and
a lens disposed on the second bracket at a plane defined by the first and second straight directions, wherein a position of the lens on the second bracket is adapted to be adjusted along the first straight direction with a movement of the first bracket along the first straight direction relative to the base, when the first fastening component rotates relative to the base along the first straight direction, the first bracket moves relative to the base along the first straight direction, and when the second fastening component rotates relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction, the second bracket moves relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction.

2. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first fastening component has two first stopping portions, the second fastening component has two second stopping portions, a portion of the first bracket is clamped between the two first stopping portions, and another portion of the first bracket is clamped between the two second stopping portions.

3. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first fastening component has a first screw portion, the second fastening component has a second screw portion, the first screw portion is screwed in the base along the first straight direction, and the second screw portion is screwed in the second bracket along the second straight direction.

4. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , comprising a first elastic member, wherein the first elastic member is located between the base and the first bracket.

5. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 4 , further comprising a second elastic member, wherein the second elastic member is located between the first bracket and the second bracket.

6. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 1 , wherein a quantity of the first fastening component is two, and the two first fastening components are respectively located at two opposite sides of the first bracket.

7. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 6 , wherein a quantity of the second fastening component is two, and the two second fastening components are respectively located at two opposite sides of the second bracket.

8. A lens adjusting mechanism, comprising:
a base having a first guide structure, wherein the first guide structure is extended along a first axis;
a first fastening component connected to the base, wherein the first axis passes through a projection of the first fastening component on the base;
a first bracket movably connected to the base along a first straight direction through the first fastening component and the first guide structure;
a second fastening component connected to the first bracket;
a second bracket having a second guide structure, wherein the second guide structure is extended along a second axis, the second axis passes through a projection of the second fastening component on the second bracket, the second bracket is movably connected to the first bracket along a second straight direction through the second fastening component and the second guide structure, and the first straight direction is different from the second straight direction; and
a lens disposed on the second bracket at a plane defined by the first and second straight directions, wherein a position of the lens on the second bracket is adapted to be adjusted along the first straight direction with a movement of the first bracket along the first straight direction relative to the base, when the first fastening component rotates relative to the base along the first straight direction, the first bracket moves relative to the base along the first straight direction, and when the second fastening component rotates relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction, the second bracket moves relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction.

9. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein the first fastening component has two first stopping portions, the second fastening component has two second stopping portions, a portion of the first bracket is clamped between the two first stopping portions, and another portion of the first bracket is clamped between the two second stopping portions.

10. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein the first fastening component has a first screw portion, the second fastening component has a second screw portion, the first screw portion is screwed in the base along the first straight direction, and the second screw portion is screwed in the second bracket along the second straight direction.

11. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 8 , comprising a first elastic member, wherein the first elastic member is located between the base and the first bracket.

12. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 11 , further comprising a second elastic member, wherein the second elastic member is located between the first bracket and the second bracket.

13. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 8 , wherein a quantity of the first fastening component is two, and the two first fastening components are respectively located at two opposite sides of the first bracket.

14. The lens adjusting mechanism of claim 13 , wherein a quantity of the second fastening component is two, and the two second fastening components are respectively located at two opposite sides of the second bracket.

15. A lens adjusting mechanism, comprising:
a base;
a first fastening component movably connected to the base along a first straight direction;
a first bracket movably connected to the base along the first straight direction through the first fastening component;
a second fastening component connected to the first bracket;
a second bracket movably connected to the first bracket along a second straight direction through the second fastening component, wherein the first straight direction is different from the second straight direction;
a holder, wherein the holder clamps the first bracket, the second bracket, and the base via an elasticity provided in a third straight direction by the holder, and the first, second, and third straight directions are all different; and
a lens disposed on the second bracket at a plane defined by the first and second straight directions, wherein a position of the lens on the second bracket is adapted to be adjusted along the first straight direction with a movement of the first bracket along the first straight direction relative to the base, when the first fastening component rotates relative to the base along the first straight direction, the first bracket moves relative to the base along the first straight direction, and when the second fastening component rotates relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction, the second bracket moves relative to the first bracket along the second straight direction.
