[ detailed description ] embodiments

To facilitate an understanding of the invention, the invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. This invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete.

It will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "secured to" another element, it can be directly on the other element or intervening elements may also be present. When an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or intervening elements may also be present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and the like as used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiments.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Referring to fig. 1, the present invention provides an infrared lens including four lenses, specifically, the infrared lens includes, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis: a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, and a fourth lens L4.

The infrared lens of the present invention may include an optical imaging system composed of four lenses. That is, the infrared lens may be configured by the first lens L1 to the fourth lens L4. However, the infrared lens is not limited to including four lenses, but may include other constituent elements as needed. For example, the infrared lens further includes an aperture that adjusts the amount of light. In addition, an optical filter and an image plane may be sequentially disposed on the image side surface close to the fourth lens, an image sensor is disposed on the image plane, the image sensor may be any of various image sensors in the prior art, that is, the image sensor converts the light image on the light sensing surface into an electrical signal in a proportional relationship with the light image by using a photoelectric conversion function of a photoelectric device, and the image sensor is a functional device that divides the light image on the light receiving surface into a plurality of small cells and converts the small cells into usable electrical signals, compared with a photosensitive element of a "point" light source such as a photodiode and a phototriode.

Therefore, light rays refracted by external things sequentially pass through the first lens to the fourth lens, then enter the image plane through the optical filter, and are converted into conductive electric signals through the image sensor on the image plane.

Further, the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, and the fourth lens L4 are plastic lenses or glass lenses. The first lens L1 to the fourth lens L4 are four independent lenses, and a space is provided between every two adjacent lenses, that is, every two adjacent lenses are not joined to each other, but an air space is provided between every two adjacent lenses. Since the process of joining the lenses is more complicated than that of the independent and non-joined lenses, particularly, the joining surfaces of the two lenses need to have a curved surface with high accuracy so as to achieve high joint tightness when the two lenses are joined, and poor adhesion tightness due to deviation may be caused during the joining process to affect the overall optical imaging quality.

Referring to fig. 1, the object-side surface of the first lens element L1 is concave, the object-side surface of the second lens element L2 is convex, and the image-side surface of the second lens element L2 is convex. The radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the second lens is R21, the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens is R31, and the following relations are satisfied: 1 < R21/R31 < 5.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the air interval between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis is AG23, the sum of the air intervals between all the lenses is Σ AG, and the following relation is satisfied: 0.5< AG23/Σ AG < 0.65.

More specifically, the infrared lens includes, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, four lenses L1-L4, a first lens L1 having an object side surface S1 and an image side surface S2; the second lens L2 has an object-side surface S3 and an image-side surface S4; the third lens L3 has an object-side surface S5 and an image-side surface S6; the fourth lens L4 has an object-side surface S7 and an image-side surface S8. Optionally, the infrared lens may further include a filter L5 having an object side S9 and an image side S10, and the filter L5 may be a band pass filter. In the image pickup optical lens group of the present embodiment, a stop STO may also be provided to adjust the amount of light entering. The light from the object sequentially passes through the respective surfaces S1 to S8 and is finally imaged on the imaging surface S11.

Further, the focal length of the infrared lens is f, the focal length of the second lens is f2, the focal length of the fourth lens is f4, and the following relations are satisfied: 1.0< | f/f2| + | f/f4| < 1.3.

Further, the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens is R31, the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the third lens is R32, and the following relation is satisfied: 0.5< (R32+ R31)/(R32-R31) <1.

Further, the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens is R31, the focal length of the third lens is f3, and the following relation is satisfied: 4< R31/f3< 7.

Further, the air interval of the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis is AG23, the center thickness of the third lens on the optical axis is CT3, and the following relation is satisfied: 0.8< AG23/CT3< 1.5.

Further, the total optical length of the infrared lens is TTL, and the back focal length of the infrared lens is BFL, and satisfies the following relation: 4< TTL/BFL < 4.5.

The infrared lens according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention may employ a plurality of lenses, for example, four lenses as described above. Through reasonable distribution of focal power, surface type and on-axis distance of each lens, the effective light passing diameter of the infrared lens can be effectively increased, miniaturization of the lens is guaranteed, imaging quality is improved, and the infrared lens is more favorable for production and processing. In the embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the mirror surfaces of each lens is an aspherical mirror surface. The aspheric lens is characterized in that: the curvature varies continuously from the center to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens having a constant curvature from the center to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has a better curvature radius characteristic, has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and astigmatic aberration, and can make the field of view larger and more realistic. After the aspheric lens is adopted, the aberration generated in imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, so that the imaging quality is improved.

Specific examples of the infrared lens that can be applied to the above-described embodiments are further described below with reference to the drawings.

Optionally, the infrared lens may further include a filter L5 having an object side S9 and an image side S10, and the filter L5 may be a band pass filter. In the infrared lens of the present embodiment, a stop STO may also be provided to adjust the amount of incoming light.

Each aspheric surface type x is defined by the following functional relationship:
