Abstract
A zoom/focus apparatus and corresponding zoom lens assembly are provided. The zoom/focus apparatus may include a first focus lens barrel (), a first zoom lens barrel (), a first ultrasonic motor and a second ultrasonic motor which are disposed coaxially. The first focus lens barrel and the first zoom lens barrel are radially unmovable. The caliber of the first zoom lens barrel is larger than that of the first focus lens barrel. The two ultrasonic motors are used to drive the two lens barrels to move axially by the rotation of the rotors (), respectively. Because the zoom lens barrel which needs to be moved is disposed at outside of the focus lens barrel, by driving the lens barrels using the ultrasonic motors, the telescoping of the zoom lens barrel and the adjusting of the zoom position can be achieved simultaneously. Because the zoom lens barrel has larger caliber such that it is suitable for wide-angle lens and the lens assembly becomes gradually larger from inside to outside when the lens group is installed from rear to front, the installing is more convenient and smooth and the miniaturization of the lens assembly is facilitated.
