At present, the high-power zoom of the imaging lens of the electronic equipment in the market is basically 'jump' zoom, namely, the hybrid optical zoom is realized by carrying two to a plurality of lenses with different focal lengths and matching with digital zoom based on an algorithm.

However, the "jump" zoom is based on a plurality of imaging lenses of different focal lengths, and continuous zoom is realized by means of arithmetic processing, not continuous zoom in a true sense. In the zooming process, the imaging definition of focal length transition parts of a plurality of imaging lenses is reduced compared with continuous optical zooming, so that the imaging quality is affected; meanwhile, the mounting of a plurality of photographing lenses not only results in complex manufacturing process, but also cannot be well adapted to handheld mobile electronic devices with strong miniaturization requirements.

In summary, how to reduce the number of imaging lenses, and simultaneously have a large zoom ratio and good imaging quality is one of the problems to be solved in the current industry.

The optical power of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens is reasonably distributed, so that the first lens group can have positive optical power.

The zoom lens mainly uses the refraction principle of the lens to image, light rays are deflected after passing through the zoom lens, a clear image is formed on a focusing plane, and the image of a scene is recorded through an electronic photosensitive element positioned on the focusing plane. The zoom lens comprises a first lens group and a second lens group which are sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side, wherein the first lens group is a focusing lens group with positive focal power and can converge light rays to compress the light beam caliber entering the zoom lens, and the first lens group can move along the optical axis of the zoom lens to change the focal length of the zoom lens, so that the zoom lens can realize continuous zooming; the second lens group is a compensation lens group with negative focal power, and can also move along the optical axis of the zoom lens to balance and eliminate the aberration influence generated in the moving process of the first lens group, so that the focus of the zoom lens is located on the focusing plane of the electronic photosensitive element, and good imaging quality can be ensured while the large zoom ratio of the zoom lens is met.

Compared with the 'jump' zoom lens in the prior art, the zoom lens provided by the application does not have a focal length transition part of multiple lenses, and the imaging quality problem of the focal length transition part is avoided, so that the imaging definition of the zoom lens can be always kept at a better level; meanwhile, the layout of a single lens is convenient for the structural optimization of the electronic equipment, and the miniaturized design requirement of the electronic equipment can be well met.

Alternatively, the first lens group and the second lens group are assembled through a lens barrel.

In one possible design, the zoom lens satisfies the following relation:

0.5<f _G1 /fw<0.8。

wherein f _G1 And fw is the focal length of the zoom lens in a short focal length state.

The relation formula prescribes a ratio range of the focal length of the first lens group to the focal length of the zoom lens in a short focal end state, and when the ratio range is smaller than 0.8, the axial space length of the first lens group can be limited, so that the optical total length of the zoom lens is favorably compressed to realize miniaturization of a module structure; when the ratio range is more than 0.5, the zoom lens can be favorable for keeping better imaging quality. Therefore, the limiting conditions are combined, and the size of the zoom lens can be made smaller on the premise of ensuring the imaging quality of the zoom lens, so that the zoom lens can be better adapted to miniaturized handheld mobile electronic equipment.

In one possible design, the zoom lens satisfies the following relation:

TTLt/ft<1.0；

wherein TTLt is the total optical length of the zoom lens in the state of the long focal length end, and ft is the focal length of the zoom lens in the state of the long focal length end.

The above relation specifies the ratio range of the focal length of the first lens group to the focal length of the zoom lens in the short focal length state, so that the zoom lens can limit the total optical length of the zoom lens while meeting the long focal length characteristic, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the module, and being beneficial to scaling in equal proportion under the condition that the zoom lens architecture is the same.

In one possible design, the object side surface of the first lens element is convex, and the image side surface of the fourth lens element is convex.

ft/fw<1.6。

the above relation specifies a ratio range of a focal length of the zoom lens in a long focal length state to a focal length of the zoom lens in a short focal length state, that is, a zoom ratio of less than 1.6. Under the requirement of meeting the zoom ratio, the optical structure of the zoom lens is simpler, continuous zooming can be easily realized through the two lens groups, and further miniaturization of the module is facilitated, and good imaging quality is achieved.

In one possible design, the zoom lens satisfies the following relation:

TTLt/Imgh<5.5；

wherein Imgh is half of the diagonal length of the pixel region of the electron-sensitive element on the focal plane.

The above relation specifies the ratio range of the total optical length of the zoom lens in the long focal end state to half of the diagonal length of the pixel area of the electronic photosensitive element on the focusing plane, and limits the total optical length of the zoom lens when ensuring the zoom lens to have high-pixel images, thereby being beneficial to reducing the whole size well to realize miniaturization and simultaneously giving consideration to good imaging quality.

In one possible design, the zoom lens satisfies the following relation:

TT _1-n /TTLt<0.4；

wherein TT _1-n Is the sum of the thicknesses of all lenses in the first lens group and the second lens group on the optical axis.

The above relation specifies the ratio range of the sum of the thicknesses of all lenses in the first lens group and the second lens group on the optical axis to the total optical length of the zoom lens in the long focal length state, and limits the thicknesses of all lenses in the first lens group and the second lens group, thereby being beneficial to the processing and manufacturing of the zoom lens, simultaneously being beneficial to realizing a large zoom ratio and having better zoom effect. The ratio range can better balance the zooming performance and the manufacturability of processing and manufacturing.

In one possible design, the zoom lens satisfies the following relation:

0.6<f _G1 /f ₁ <1.2；

wherein f ₁ Is the focal length of the first lens.

The above relation specifies the ratio range of the focal length of the first lens group to the focal length of the first lens in the first lens group, and when the ratio range is satisfied, the optical power of the lens is reasonably distributed, and tolerance sensitivity caused by local concentration of the optical power in the lens group is avoided, so that the processing and manufacturing difficulty is reduced, and the yield is improved.

Detailed Description

The following is an exemplary description of relevant content that may be relevant to embodiments of the present application.

For ease of understanding, the technical terms referred to in the present application are explained and described below.

Focal length (focal length), also known as focal length, is a measure of the concentration or divergence of light in an optical system, and refers to the perpendicular distance from the optical center of a lens or lens group to the focal plane when an infinitely distant scene is brought into clear images at the focal plane by the lens or lens group. From a practical point of view it is understood that the distance from the center of the lens to the film plane. For a fixed focus lens, the position of the optical center is fixed; for a zoom lens, a change in the optical center of the lens brings about a change in the focal length of the lens.

The aperture is a device for controlling the quantity of light transmitted through the lens and entering the photosensitive surface of the body, and is usually arranged in the lens. The expressed aperture size is expressed in terms of F/number.

The aperture value is a relative value (reciprocal of relative aperture) obtained from the focal length of the lens and the lens light-passing diameter. The smaller the aperture value, the more the amount of light is entered in the same unit time. The larger the aperture value, the smaller the depth of field, and the background content of the photo will be blurred, similar to the effect of a long focal length lens.

Focal power (focal power): equal to the difference between the image Fang Guangshu convergence and the object beam convergence, which characterizes the ability of the optical system to deflect light. Common letters with focal power

Indicating refractive sphere power +.>

Wherein n 'is the refractive index of the image space, n is the refractive index of the object space, r is the spherical radius, f' is the image focal length, and f is the object focal length. The general optical power is expressed as the reciprocal of the focal length of the image space (approximately, the refractive index of air is regarded as 1). The above power equation is generic (no paraxial split) for any optical system.

The optical power characterizes the refractive power of the optical system to an incident parallel beam.

The larger the number of the parallel beams is, the more the parallel beams are folded; />

When the refraction is convergent; />

When the refraction is divergent. / >

And in the case of plane refraction. At this time, the beam is refracted and then still is a beam in the axial direction, and no refraction phenomenon occurs.

The optical total length (total track length, TTL), which refers to the total length from the barrel head to the imaging plane, is a major factor in forming the camera height.

Abbe number, the Abbe's number, is the ratio of the difference in refractive index of an optical material at different wavelengths, and represents the magnitude of the material's dispersion.

In the optical apparatus, a lens of the optical apparatus is taken as a vertex, and an included angle formed by two edges of a maximum range of an object image of a measured object can pass through the lens is called a field angle. The size of the angle of view determines the field of view of the optical instrument, and the larger the angle of view, the larger the field of view and the smaller the optical magnification.

The optical axis is a ray passing perpendicularly through the center of the ideal lens. When light parallel to the optical axis enters the convex lens, the ideal convex lens is a point where all light is converged behind the lens, and the point where all light is converged is the focal point.

Aperture refers to an edge, frame, or specially configured apertured barrier of an optical element in an optical train component used to limit the imaging beam size or imaging spatial unit.

The aperture stop is a stop limiting the maximum inclination angle of edge rays in an on-axis point imaging beam, i.e., a stop with the minimum incident aperture angle.

The entrance pupil is the common entrance of the light beam emitted from all points on the object plane.

The entrance pupil diameter is the effective aperture that limits the incident beam.

Aberration (aberration) refers to the deviation of the result of non-paraxial ray tracing from the ideal state of gaussian optics (first order approximation theory or paraxial rays) in an actual optical system, where the result of paraxial ray tracing does not coincide with the result of paraxial ray tracing. Aberrations are mainly classified into spherical aberration, coma, curvature of field, astigmatism, distortion, chromatic aberration, and wave aberration.

Distortion (distortion), also known as distortion, is the degree of distortion of an image of an object by an optical system relative to the object itself. The distortion is caused by the influence of the spherical aberration of the diaphragm, and the height of the intersection point of the chief rays with different fields of view and the Gaussian image plane after passing through the optical system is not equal to the ideal height, and the difference between the chief rays and the Gaussian image plane is the distortion. Therefore, the distortion only changes the imaging position of the off-axis object point on the ideal plane, so that the shape of the image is distorted, but the definition of the image is not affected.

The zoom ratio refers to the ratio of the longest focal length to the shortest focal length of the zoom lens.

The tele end of the zoom lens represents the numerical segment of the focal length of the zoom lens when the zoom lens is in a telescopic state.

The short focal end of the zoom lens represents the numerical segment of the focal length where the shot picture shows a large prospect and a small prospect when the zoom lens is in a wide-angle state.

The focusing group is a lens group which moves along the optical axis of the zoom lens in the zoom lens and is responsible for adjusting the focal length of the zoom lens.

The compensation group is a lens group which moves along the optical axis of the zoom lens along with the focusing group in the zoom lens and is responsible for balancing and eliminating the influence of aberration generated in the moving process of the focusing group.

The zoom lens is a camera lens capable of changing focal length within a certain range, thereby obtaining images with different sizes and different scenery ranges with different wide and narrow angles of view. The zoom lens can change the photographing range by varying the focal length without changing the photographing distance, and thus is very advantageous for picture composition. Because a zoom lens can play a role of a plurality of fixed focus lenses, the lens can be suitable for various shooting scenes, and when in use, a user not only reduces the number of lenses to be carried, but also saves the time for replacing the lenses.

At present, the high-power zoom of the imaging lens of the electronic equipment in the market is basically 'jump' zoom, namely, the hybrid optical zoom is realized by carrying two to a plurality of lenses with different focal lengths and matching with digital zoom based on an algorithm. In the zooming process, the imaging definition of focal length transition parts of a plurality of imaging lenses is reduced compared with continuous optical zooming, so that the imaging quality is affected; meanwhile, the mounting of a plurality of photographing lenses not only results in complex manufacturing process, but also cannot be well adapted to handheld mobile electronic devices with strong miniaturization requirements.

Based on the above problems, the application provides a zoom lens, which can realize the effects of large zoom ratio and better imaging quality through a single lens, can reduce the layout quantity of the camera lens, and can be better applied to miniaturized handheld mobile electronic equipment.

For convenience of description, the left side of the zoom lens is defined as a subject side (hereinafter, may also be referred to as an object side), a surface of the lens facing the object side may be referred to as an object side, the object side may also be understood as a surface of the lens near the object side, the right side of the zoom lens is an image side (hereinafter, may also be referred to as an image side), a surface of the lens facing the image side may be referred to as an image side, and the image side may also be understood as a surface of the lens near the image side.

The zoom lens comprises a first lens group 10 and a second lens group 20 which are sequentially arranged from an object side to an image side, wherein the first lens group 10 is a focusing lens group with positive focal power, can converge light rays to compress the light beam caliber entering the zoom lens, and the first lens group 10 can move along the optical axis of the zoom lens to change the focal length of the zoom lens, so that the zoom lens can realize continuous zooming; the second lens group 20 is a compensation lens group having negative focal power, and can also move along the optical axis of the zoom lens to balance and eliminate the aberration influence generated by the first lens group 10 during the movement process, so that the focal point of the zoom lens falls on the focusing plane of the electronic photosensitive element 50, and good imaging quality can be ensured while meeting the requirement of a large zoom ratio of the zoom lens.

Compared with the 'jump' zoom lens in the prior art, the zoom lens provided by the embodiment of the application does not have a focal length transition part of multiple lenses, and the imaging quality problem of the focal length transition part is avoided, so that the imaging definition of the zoom lens can be always kept at a better level; meanwhile, the layout of a single lens is convenient for the structural optimization of the electronic equipment, and the miniaturized design requirement of the electronic equipment can be well met.
