Inventive description: . [Technical field to which the invention pertains], Shuming relates to imaging technology, and the lens and imaging device. • [Prior Art] An electronic medical endoscope usually includes an imaging lens and an image sensor disposed on the avatar side of the imaging lens. The imaging lens includes a lens barrel and an imaging lens group housed in the lens barrel. In order to facilitate intraluminal examination or intraluminal surgical operation, it is generally required that the medical endoscope has wide-angle imaging characteristics, that is, the imaging lens is required to have wide-angle characteristics. To this end, the industry has attempted to increase the field of view of the imaging lens by designing the power of each lens in the imaging lens group and the distance between the lenses. However, the angle of view of the imaging lens thus obtained is not ideal. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a wide-angle lens having an ideal angle of view and an imaging apparatus using the wide-angle lens. A wide-angle lens comprising a lens barrel and an imaging lens group housed in the lens barrel. The wide-angle lens further includes a light combining prism disposed on the side of the imaging lens group. The grading mirror comprises three incident surfaces which are subtracted from the outside of the lens barrel and an exit surface opposite to the imaging lens group. The three incident surface keys have different monochromatic filter films for respectively filtering the monochromatic colors of different wavelengths. Light. An imaging device includes a wide-angle lens and an image sensor disposed on the image side of the wide-angle lens. The wide-angle lens includes a lens barrel and an imaging lens group housed in the lens barrel. The wide-angle lens further includes a compositing mirror disposed on the side of the imaging lens group 16. The light combining prism comprises three entrance faces of 200923414 exposed outside the lens barrel and an exiting surface of the imaging lens _ opposite, and the three incident surfaces are forged with different monochromatic filter films to respectively filter the monochromatic colors of different wavelengths. Light. Compared with the prior imaging lens, the wide-angle lens of the present invention can collect three incident light of the field (corresponding to the three incident faces of the light combining prism) with an ideal angle of view (close to 270.). The wide-angle lens imaging device can simultaneously capture (collect the I line and generate the corresponding image) three scenes of the scene with wide-angle imaging characteristics. [Embodiment] The wide-angle lens and imaging device of the present invention can be applied to a medical endoscope. Referring to FIG. 1, the image forming apparatus 1 of the first embodiment includes a wide-angle lens 10 and an image sensor 20 disposed on the image side of the wide-angle lens 10. The wide-angle lens 10 includes a lens barrel 11, an imaging lens group 12 housed in the lens barrel 11, and a light-collecting prism i3 (X-cube) placed on the object side of the imaging lens group 12. The light combining prism 13 includes three incident surfaces 13r, 13g, i3b exposed outside the lens barrel 1; 1 and an exit surface I3w opposite to the imaging lens group 12, and the three incident surfaces 13r, 13g, !3b are respectively plated with red ( R), green (G), blue (9) color filter film 14r, 14g, Mb to filter three kinds of monochromatic light of red, green and blue, respectively. The lens barrel 11 is for holding the imaging lens group 12 and the light combining prism 13, and blocks external light from entering the imaging light path (the optical path between the exit surface 13w of the light combining prism 13 and the image sensor 20) to affect imaging. Specifically, the lens barrel 11 of the present embodiment is a hollow plastic cylinder having a light-collecting prism receiving portion 111 formed on the object side end thereof, and the light combining prism housing portion 111 is fitted in the shape of the light combining prism 13. Thus, the light-combining prism 13 is fixed to the light-collecting prism accommodating portion 111, and the sealed lens barrel 200923414 11 ' is blocked from being imaged by the external image forming optical path f. The imaging lens group 12 is used for optical imaging (image of the exit surface 13W of the light combining prism 13 is imaged to the image sensor 20), and one or more coaxial spherical plastic mirrors, plastic aspherical mirrors, and glass spherical mirrors may be used. Or a glass aspherical mirror 'depending on the requirements (such as the imaging quality, cost or size requirements of the wide-angle lens 10). The imaging lens group 12 of the present embodiment employs four spherical glass mirrors to ensure the imaging quality of the wide-angle lens and control the cost and size of the wide-angle lens 10. The light combining prism 13 includes four polarization beam splitters that are joined to each other. Since the three incident surfaces i3r, 13g, and 13b respectively have red, green, and blue filter films 14γ, 14g, and 14b, the incident light of the incident surface 13r is only red light (red s-polarized light) enters the mirror from the exit surface 13w. The incident light of the incident surface 13g is only green light (green s-polarized light) enters the lens barrel n from the exit surface 13w; the incident light of the incident surface 13b is only blue light (blue s-polarized light) enters the lens barrel from the exit surface i3w η. That is, the three incident faces 13r, 13g, 13b of the light combining prism 13 are used to collect three kinds of monochromatic lights of red, green and blue, respectively. The image sensing benefit 20 may be a charge C0Upied device (CCD) sensor or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) sensor. Referring to FIG. 2 together, the CCD sensor and the CMOS sensor generally include three pixel arrays for sensing three kinds of monochromatic lights of red, green and blue, respectively, and each pixel array is used to generate one of the images respectively. Primary color component_. It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the three primary colors 200923414 generated by the three pixel arrays respectively correspond to the primary color images formed by the incident light of the incident surface 13r, 13g, 13b through the imaging lens group 12. Specifically, the image sensor 20 of the present embodiment employs a CCD sensor and is disposed at an image plane of the imaging lens group 12. Compared with the prior imaging lens, the wide-angle lens of the present invention can collect incident light of three fields of view (corresponding to the three incident faces 13r, 13g, 13b of the light combining prism 13), and has wide-angle characteristics (close to 270°). The imaging apparatus 100 of the present invention can simultaneously ingest (collect light and generate corresponding images) scenes of three fields of view with wide-angle imaging characteristics. Referring to FIG. 3, the difference between the imaging device 200 of the second embodiment and the imaging device 100 of the first embodiment includes that the imaging device 200 further includes a color wheel 15 disposed between the imaging lens group 12 and the light combining prism 13. Referring to FIG. 4 together, the color wheel 15 includes an annular filter element 152 composed of three segments of red, green and blue filters and a motor 151 for driving the ring filter and the rotation of the film element 152. Annular filter, optical element; JL52 part (about one segment) is dropped into the lens barrel 11 and inserted into the imaging optical path. Thus, when the motor 151 rotates, the red, green, and blue three-stage filters of the annular filter element 152 are alternately inserted into the imaging optical path, and the outgoing light of the exit surface 13w of the light combining prism 13 is separated to generate red, green, and blue. Timing color light. That is, the incident light of the incident surfaces 13r, 13g, 13b is allowed to be sequentially imaged through the imaging lens group 12 (for example, the red, green, and blue monochromatic light of the incident surface i3r, 13g 13b sequentially passes through the imaging lens group u) for image sensing. 20. In this way, when the imaging device is turned over to the f-view mirror or other dynamic camera device (video _era) for dynamic shooting, 20 will reduce the age of the three-stage field (in the three-field _ change display 200923414 with wide-angle imaging characteristics.
