Specifically, the fixed-focus lens consists of five plastic lenses and two glass lenses, and the glass-plastic mixed structure is adopted, so that the volume and the weight of the lens can be greatly reduced, the fixed-focus lens is suitable for mass production, and meanwhile, the stability of the imaging performance of the lens in a high-temperature and low-temperature environment is ensured to the greatest extent.
In some embodiments, in order to improve the resolution of the lens and effectively reduce the vertical axis chromatic aberration of the lens, the fixed-focus lens adopts a plurality of aspheric lenses, and the use of the aspheric lenses can better correct the aberration of the lens, improve the resolution of the lens and enable the image to be clearer. Specifically, the first lens in the fixed-focus lens is a glass spherical lens, the fifth lens is a glass aspheric lens, and the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens are plastic aspheric lenses.
In some embodiments, the first lens and the fifth lens are both glass lenses, wherein the first lens is made of a hard glass material and is plated with a scratch-proof hard film, so as to ensure that the lens is not easy to scratch during use and assembly, and the imaging quality is affected.

0.3< RS2/SD2<0.4;(6)
where RS2 denotes the rise of the image side surface of the first lens, and SD2 denotes the maximum effective radius of the image side surface of the first lens. Satisfying the above conditional expression (6), the first lens can have a sufficient field angle to satisfy the light entrance requirement of the ultra-large field of view.

Satisfying the above conditional expression (11), the light passing through the lens group can be ensured to be received into the chip more smoothly, and the requirement of the chip on the best CRA (chief ray incident angle) can be satisfied.
In some embodiments, the prime lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
0.4< DS7/DS3 <0.55;(12)
where DS3 represents the effective diameter of the object-side surface of the second lens and DS7 represents the effective diameter of the object-side surface of the fourth lens. By setting the aperture of the front and rear lenses of the diaphragm, a good light-collecting effect is achieved, and the maximum light-transmitting amount is ensured while the lens has a sufficient field angle, while satisfying the conditional expression (12).
In some embodiments, the prime lens satisfies the following conditional expression:
4<CT5/CT6 <5.5;(13)
