Driving module and focusing mechanism including driving module

A driving module configured for driving a teleconverter lens assembly to move up and down with precision includes a mounting base, a driving assembly connected with the mounting base, and an optical grating sensor. The driving assembly includes a linear motor adapted to be fixedly connected with the teleconverter lens assembly and configured to drive the teleconverter lens assembly to move, and an air cylinder configured to support the teleconverter lens assembly. The optical grating sensor is electrically connected with the linear motor and configured to detect and feedback a position of the teleconverter lens assembly driven by the linear motor in real time. A focusing mechanism including the driving module is also disclosed.

A converter lens has negative refractive power, and is disposed on an image side of a master lens so that a focal length of an entire system becomes greater than a focal length of the master lens alone. The converter lens includes a first lens element closest to an object and a second lens element next to an image side of the first lens element with a space between the first lens element and the second lens element. A focal length of the converter lens, a focal length of an air lens formed by the first lens element and the second lens element, the shape of an image-side lens surface of the first lens element, and the shape of an object-side lens surface of the second lens element are determined as appropriate.
