ABSTRACT:
A lens protection structure for miniature lens focusing mechanism includes a lens, a lens driving mechanism and a protective glass. The lens focuses light on an image sensor to thereby form an image thereon. The lens driving mechanism includes a hollow structure, in which the lens is received and driven to linearly move in an optical axis direction, so as to focus light on the image sensor. The protective glass is provided at a lens inlet of the lens driving mechanism, and is fixedly held to the lens driving mechanism by a plurality of forward projected stoppers formed at the lens inlet. With the protective glass located in front of the lens, the lens is protected against dust and damage by external force when being assembled to form a half-finished product or stored as a half-finished product.
