Patent ID: 8102610

Claim:
A lens assembly with a fitting structure, comprising: a first lens comprising a first inner end surface, a first outer end surface opposite to the first inner end surface, and a plurality of slots, wherein the first inner end surface comprises a first optical effective region centrally located at an optical axis and a first fixed region encircling the first optical effective region, and the plurality of slots are formed on the first fixed region of the first inner end surface in a circumferential direction and extended toward the first outer end surface, wherein each of the plurality of slots comprises an inner engaging side portion radially disposed next to the optical axis, an outer engaging side portion radially disposed to be distant from the optical axis, and a trough portion connected to the inner engaging side portion and the outer engaging side portion; and a second lens comprising a second inner end surface, a second outer end surface opposite to the second inner end surface, and a plurality of engaging blocks, wherein the second inner end surface of the second lens and the first inner end surface of the first lens are facing oppositely to each other, the second inner end surface comprises a second optical effective region centrally located at the optical axis and a second fixed region encircling the second optical effective region, and the plurality of engaging blocks are formed on the second fixed region of the second inner end surface in the circumferential direction and extended toward the first inner end surface of the first lens, wherein each of the engaging blocks comprises an inner engaging protrusion disposed relative to the inner engaging side portion of the slot, an outer engaging protrusion disposed against the outer engaging side portion of the slot, and a crest portion disposed next to the first inner end surface of the first lens and connected to the inner engaging protrusion and the outer engaging protrusion, and the engaging blocks of the second lens are respectively fitted into the slots of the first lens where a contact area is formed between the outer engaging protrusion of the block and the outer engaging side portion of the slot, and the second lens is connected to the first lens by the contact area, and a gap is defined for the block when the block is fitted into the slot by the inner engaging side portion and the trough portion of the slot and the inner engaging protrusion of the engaging block thereby assuring that the outer engaging protrusion of the block abuts against the outer engaging side portion of the slot at the contact areas.
