Description

Optical lens

Technical Field

The present application relates to an optical lens, and more particularly, to an optical lens including seven lenses.

Background

With the popularization of optical lenses, the requirements for high definition and image comfort of images of vehicle-mounted lenses are increasingly highlighted in the market. At present, in order to achieve a resolution of mega pixels, an aspheric surface is usually used to correct aberrations including chromatic aberration, and a high resolution is obtained by increasing the number of lenses to more than 6, but the size and weight of the lens are correspondingly increased, which is not favorable for miniaturization of the lens, and causes a cost increase.

At present, the plastic lens is mostly adopted to achieve the effects of reducing cost and lightening weight, however, the plasticizing degree is high, because the expansion and contraction characteristics of the plastic lens are difficult to overcome, although the temperature performance is better realized through the collocation of the focal power of the lens and the selection of materials, the whole body still can not meet the existing severer temperature requirement. Of course, the imaging quality can be improved by adopting the glass aspheric lens, and the temperature performance requirement is met, but the glass aspheric manufacturing process is difficult, and the cost is high.

Therefore, for a lens, such as a monitoring lens or a vehicle-mounted lens, which operates in a variable and severe environment and has a limited installation space, the requirements for further improving miniaturization and high resolution are more urgent and severe.

It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application may be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.

The features, principles, and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.

An optical lens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application includes, for example, seven lenses having optical power, i.e., a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens. The seven lenses are arranged in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis.

The optical lens according to the exemplary embodiment of the present application may further include a photosensitive element disposed on the image plane. Alternatively, the photosensitive element provided to the imaging surface may be a photosensitive coupling element (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor element (CMOS).

The first lens element can have a negative power, and can have a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface. The first lens is arranged in a meniscus shape which is convex towards the object side, so that light rays with a large field of view can be collected as far as possible and enter a rear optical system. In practical application, the vehicle-mounted lens is installed outdoors in a use environment and can be in severe weather such as rain, snow and the like, and the design of the meniscus shape protruding towards the object side is beneficial to the sliding of water drops and reduces the influence on imaging. Alternatively, the first lens can be made of a high-refractive-index material, such as the refractive index Nd1 ≥ 1.65, ideally Nd1 ≥ 1.7, so as to facilitate reducing the front-end aperture and improving the imaging quality.

The second lens element can have a negative power, and can have an object-side surface that is optionally convex or concave, and an image-side surface that is concave. The second lens can properly compress the light collected by the first lens, so that the light can be smoothly transited to a rear optical system. The image side surface of the second lens is a concave surface, so that the distance between the first lens and the second lens is favorably reduced, the physical total length of the lens is easier to shorten, and the miniaturization is realized.

The third lens element can have a negative power, and can have a concave object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The third lens with negative focal power can balance the spherical aberration and the position chromatic aberration introduced by the first two groups of lenses, and the meniscus shape convex to the image side is designed, so that the total length of the optical system is favorably reduced.

The fourth lens element can have a positive optical power, and can have a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface. The fourth lens can converge the light, so that the diffused light can smoothly enter the rear optical system, and the light is compressed and stably transited to the rear optical system.

The fifth lens element can have a negative power, and can have a convex object-side surface and a concave image-side surface.

The sixth lens element can have a positive optical power, and can have a convex object-side surface and a convex image-side surface.

The seventh lens element can have a positive optical power, and can have a convex object-side surface and a convex or concave image-side surface. The seventh lens is a converging lens, so that light can be converged effectively and stably at last, the light can reach an imaging surface stably, and the overall weight and cost of the optical system are reduced.

In an exemplary embodiment, a stop for limiting the light beam may be disposed between, for example, the fourth lens and the fifth lens to further improve the imaging quality of the lens. When the diaphragm is arranged between the fourth lens and the fifth lens, the front light and the rear light can be collected, the total length of the optical system is effectively shortened, and the calibers of the front lens and the rear lens are reduced. It should be noted, however, that the positions of the diaphragms disclosed herein are merely examples and not limitations; in alternative embodiments, the diaphragm may be disposed at other positions according to actual needs.

In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application may further include a filter disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging surface to filter light rays having different wavelengths, as necessary; and may further include a protective glass disposed between the optical filter and the imaging surface to prevent internal elements (e.g., chips) of the optical lens from being damaged.

As known to those skilled in the art, cemented lenses may be used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. The use of the cemented lens in the optical lens can improve the image quality and reduce the reflection loss of light energy, thereby improving the imaging definition of the lens. In addition, the use of the cemented lens can also simplify the assembly process in the lens manufacturing process.

In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lens and the sixth lens may be combined into a cemented lens by cementing the image-side surface of the fifth lens with the object-side surface of the sixth lens. By introducing the cemented lens consisting of the fifth lens and the sixth lens, the chromatic aberration influence can be eliminated, the field curvature is reduced, and the coma is corrected; meanwhile, the cemented lens may also retain a part of chromatic aberration to balance the entire chromatic aberration of the optical system. The air space between the two lenses is omitted by gluing the lenses, so that the optical system is compact as a whole, and the requirement of system miniaturization is met. Furthermore, the gluing of the lenses reduces tolerance sensitivity problems of the lens units due to tilt/decentration during assembly.

In the cemented lens, the fifth lens close to the object side has negative focal power, and the sixth lens close to the image side has positive focal power, so that the arrangement is favorable for diverging and rapidly converging the front light and then transitioning to the rear, is more favorable for reducing the optical path of the rear light, realizes short TTL, and simultaneously reduces the tolerance sensitivity of the system.

In an exemplary embodiment, an air interval d12 between the first lens and the second lens and an optical total length TTL of the optical lens may satisfy: d12/TTL is less than or equal to 0.2, and more preferably, d12/TTL is less than or equal to 0.18.

In an exemplary embodiment, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, the entire set of focal length values F of the optical lens, and the image height h corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens may satisfy: (FOV F)/h.gtoreq.45, and more preferably (FOV F)/h.gtoreq.50. The condition (FOV multiplied by F)/h is more than or equal to 45, and the large-angle resolution can be realized.

In an exemplary embodiment, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, the maximum clear aperture D of the object-side surface of the first lens corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and the image height h corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens may satisfy: D/h/FOV is less than or equal to 0.02, and more desirably, D/h/FOV is less than or equal to 0.018. The conditional expression D/h/FOV is less than or equal to 0.02, and the small caliber at the front end of the lens can be realized.

In an exemplary embodiment, the optical back focus BFL of the optical lens and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens may satisfy: the BFL/TTL is more than or equal to 0.1, and more ideally, the BFL/TTL can be further more than or equal to 0.11. The back focus setting which meets the condition that BFL/TTL is more than or equal to 0.1 is combined with the whole framework of the optical lens, so that the assembly of an optical system can be facilitated.

In an exemplary embodiment, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, and the image height h corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens may satisfy: TTL/h/FOV is less than or equal to 0.025, and more preferably, TTL/h/FOV is less than or equal to 0.02. The TTL/h/FOV satisfies the conditional expression of being less than or equal to 0.025, miniaturization can be realized, and compared with other lenses, the TTL is shorter under the same field angle and the same image height.

In an exemplary embodiment, an optical lens according to the present application may have at least 4 aspherical lenses. The aspheric lens has the characteristics that: the curvature varies continuously from the center of the lens to the periphery. Unlike a spherical lens having a constant curvature from the center to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatic aberration. After the aspheric lens is adopted, the aberration generated in imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, so that the imaging quality of the lens is improved. For example, the seventh lens element may be an aspheric lens element to reduce the optical path length of the peripheral light rays to the image plane, and at the same time, correct the off-axis point aberration of the system, and optimize the optical performance such as distortion and CRA. Ideally, the second lens, the third lens and the seventh lens are all aspheric lenses so as to effectively improve the imaging quality of the lens. In addition, one or more of the first lens, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can also adopt an aspheric lens to improve the imaging quality. It is understood that the optical lens according to the present application may increase the number of aspherical lenses in order to improve the imaging quality.

In an exemplary embodiment, the lens used in the optical lens may be a plastic lens, or may be a glass lens. The lens made of plastic has a large thermal expansion coefficient, and when the ambient temperature change of the lens is large, the lens made of plastic causes a large amount of change of the optical back focus of the lens. The glass lens can reduce the influence of temperature on the optical back focus of the lens. According to the optical lens's of this application first lens can adopt the glass lens to reduce the environment and to the holistic influence of system, promote optical lens's wholeness ability. Ideally, the first lens can adopt a glass aspheric lens to further improve the imaging quality and reduce the front end aperture.

According to the optical lens of the embodiment of the application, the shape of the lens is optimally set, the focal power is reasonably distributed, the lens material is reasonably selected, the front end aperture can be reduced, the TTL is shortened, the miniaturization of the lens is ensured, and meanwhile, the characteristics of high resolution and super-large field angle are realized; in addition, the lens according to the application adopts 7 lenses, more than four million pixels can be achieved, and higher definition can be realized; the lens has a longer focal length compared with a conventional wide-angle lens, and the central area has high-angle resolution, so that the identification degree of an environmental object can be improved, and the detection area of the central part is increased in a targeted manner; this application is through setting up the position of positive and negative lens of cemented lens, effectively must reduce tolerance sensitivity. The optical lens according to the above-described embodiment of the present application can better meet the requirements of an in-vehicle lens.

However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the number of lenses constituting the lens barrel may be varied to achieve the various results and advantages described in the present specification without departing from the claimed subject matter. For example, although seven lenses are exemplified in the embodiment, the optical lens is not limited to include seven lenses. The optical lens may also include other numbers of lenses, if desired.

Specific examples of an optical lens applicable to the above-described embodiments are further described below with reference to the drawings.
