Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a lens module. The lens module includes a lens barrel and a lens group. The lens group is installed inside the lens barrel. The lens barrel includes a first barrel wall extended horizontally and a second barrel wall bended and extended from the first barrel wall. The lens module also includes a stop and a press ring. The stop is fixed on the first barrel wall. The press ring is located on the stop and presses on the stop. The stop and the lens group are lined up in turn from object side to image side. The length of the lens barrel is reduced due to the stop and the press ring, when shaping of lens barrel is being done, production difficulty of shaping is decreased, and the yield of qualified lens barrel is increased.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lens module comprising:
a lens barrel having an optical axis and comprising a first barrel wall extended at right angles to the direction of the optical axis and a second barrel wall extended from the first barrel wall along the optical axis direction;
a lens group installed inside the lens barrel, and comprising a stop installed inside the lens barrel and fixed on the first barrel wall; wherein:
the lens module further includes a press ring located on the stop and pressing on the stop; and the stop and the lens group are lined up in turn from an object side to an image side along the optical axis direction.

2. The lens module according to claim 1 , wherein the stop is a hollow ring.

3. The lens module according to claim 2 , wherein: the lens group is provided with a first lens including a first optical part and a first bearing part surrounding the first optical part; and a normal projection of the first optical part in the direction of the optical axis is located at least partially above the stop.

4. The lens module according to claim 3 , wherein: the lens barrel is provided with a lug extended from an inner surface of the first barrel wall to the optical axis of the lens barrel; the lug is clamped between the stop and the first bearing part of the first lens; and a receiving groove is created by the lug and the inner surface of the first barrel wall for at least partially receiving the stop.

5. The lens module according to claim 4 , wherein the stop is clamped between the press ring and the lug.

6. The lens module according to claim 1 , wherein the stop forms a light hole, and an axis of the lens group and an axis of the light hole are aligned with each other and with the optical axis.

7. The lens module according to claim 1 , wherein the press ring is made of plastic or metal.

8. The lens module according to claim 1 , wherein the press ring is fixed by glue on the first barrel wall.

9. The lens module according to claim 8 , further including a glue groove for receiving the glue, wherein the glue is provided between the press ring and the first barrel wall.

10. The lens module according to claim 9 , wherein a notch is provided at an edge of the press ring, and the notch and an inner surface of the first barrel wall cooperatively form the glue groove.
