The locking structure is connected to the lens and includes a first plate, a second plate, a moving element, and a first pushing element. The second plate is disposed between the first plate and the lens and firmly fixed to the lens. A groove is formed between the first plate and the second plate, and the groove has withstanding holes arranged along a first direction. The moving element is disposed between the first plate and the second plate. The first pushing element is disposed between the moving element and the second plate.
