Abstract

A lens fixing module is configured to fix a lens, wherein the lens has a flange. The lens fixing module includes a fixing base and a fixing ring. The fixing base has a hollow pillar and a first connecting portion. The fixing ring has a restraining portion and a second connecting portion. An end of the lens is inserted into the hollow pillar, the fixing ring is disposed on the lens and the hollow pillar, and the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, such that the flange is sandwiched in between the restraining portion and the hollow pillar.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lens fixing module configured to fix a lens, the lens
having a flange, the lens fixing module comprising:
a fixing base having a hollow pillar and a first connecting portion; and
a fixing ring having a restraining portion and a second connecting portion;
wherein an end of the lens is inserted into the hollow pillar, the fixing ring is disposed on the lens and the hollow pillar, and the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, such that the flange is sandwiched in between the restraining portion and the hollow pillar to fix the lens between the fixing ring and the hollow pillar.

2. The lens fixing module of claim 1 , wherein the lens has a recess and a partial outer wall of the flange is an inner wall of the recess.

3. The lens fixing module of claim 2 , wherein the fixing ring comprises a first half ring and a second half ring; when the end of the lens is inserted into the hollow pillar, the first half ring and the second half ring are disposed oppositely to each other on the lens and the hollow pillar in a radial direction of the lens, such that the restraining portion is located in the recess.

4. The lens fixing module of claim 3 , wherein the fixing ring further comprises at least one fixing member and the at least one fixing member fixes the first half ring and the second half ring.

5. The lens fixing module of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion is an outer thread outside the hollow pillar and the second connecting portion is an inner thread inside the fixing ring.

6. The lens fixing module of claim 1 , wherein the first connecting portion is protruding pillar, the second connecting portion comprises an opening and an engaging recess, the opening communicates with the engaging recess, and the protruding pillar enters the engaging recess through the opening, such that the fixing ring is disposed on the hollow pillar.

7. A projection device comprising:
a casing;
a lens having a flange; and
a lens fixing module comprising:
a fixing base disposed in the casing, the fixing base having a hollow pillar and a first connecting portion; and
a fixing ring having a restraining portion and a second connecting portion;

wherein an end of the lens is inserted into the hollow pillar, the fixing ring is disposed on the lens and the hollow pillar, and the first connecting portion is connected to the second connecting portion, such that the flange is sandwiched in between the restraining portion and the hollow pillar to fix the lens between the fixing ring and the hollow pillar.

8. The projection device of claim 7 , wherein the lens has a recess and a partial outer wall of the flange is an inner wall of the recess.

9. The projection device of claim 8 , wherein the fixing ring comprises a first half ring and a second half ring; when the end of the lens is inserted into the hollow pillar, the first half ring and the second half ring are disposed oppositely to each other on the lens and the hollow pillar in a radial direction of the lens, such that the restraining portion is located in the recess.

10. The projection device of claim 9 , wherein the fixing ring further comprises at least one fixing member and the at least one fixing member fixes the first half ring and the second half ring.

11. The projection device of claim 7 , wherein the first connecting portion is an outer thread outside the hollow pillar and the second connecting portion is an inner thread inside the fixing ring.

12. The projection device of claim 7 , wherein the first connecting portion is protruding pillar, the second connecting portion comprises an opening and an engaging recess, the opening communicates with the engaging recess, and the protruding pillar enters the engaging recess through the opening, such that the fixing ring is disposed on the hollow pillar.
