    Abstract: A lens module includes a base, a rotating component, a positioning component and a lens barrel. The base includes at least one first positioning member and a hollow body which defines a receiving hole therein. An annular ledge is formed in the receiving hole. The rotating component includes an annular rotating barrel which is rotatably received in the receiving hole and contacts the ledge. An inner screw thread is formed on the inner wall of the rotating barrel. The positioning component defines a center hole therein and is positioned on the base and restricts the rotating barrel to contact the ledge. The lens barrel includes a main body passing through the center hole and at least one second positioning member engaging with the at least one first positioning member. An outer screw thread is formed on the main body and engages with the inner screw thread.

  • Patent number: 7650067
    Abstract: An exemplary lens module (30) includes a lens barrel (31), a focusing mechanism (40), a resilient member (70), and a bottom seat (50). The lens barrel is mounted with at least one lens (36) therein and is fixed to one end of the focusing mechanism. One end of the resilient member resists the focusing mechanism and the other opposite end of the resilient member resists the bottom seat. The focusing mechanism is for controlling an amount of expansion permitted within the resilient member. The amount of expansion of the resilient member determines a degree of focus achieved by the lens module.

  • Patent number: 7634190
    Abstract: An exemplary lens module (20) includes a lens barrel (5), a focusing mechanism (7), a resilient member (9), and a bottom seat (6). The lens barrel is mounted with a lens (517) therein. The lens barrel is axially movable relative to the bottom seat due to a rotation of the focusing mechanism and the force generated by the resilient member. Such an axial movement, in turn, would change a position of the lens relative to the bottom seat.
