Abstract

Provided is an imaging lens such that the lens can be made thin without formability being affected and such that when assembled into an imaging deviceinterference with the surrounding components can be minimized. Also provided is an imaging device using the imaging lens. A part of the edge portion (KB1) of a first lens (L1) is extended in the optical axis direction toward a second lens (L2) to define an extended portion (EX1) so that the shape of the first lens (L1) on the object side can remain unchanged. Therefore, the object side panel (HD1) of a lens frame (HD) for holding the imaging lens does not need to be worked, and the length of the lens frame (HD) in the optical axis direction can be shortened. Further, forming a gate section (GT1) on the extended portion (EX1) of the first lens (L1) in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis increases the cross-sectional area of the gate section (GT1) and evens out the inflow of a resin material through a flow channel which includes the gate section (GT1) during molding, and thereby increases the formability. Further, the extended portion (EX1) is housed in the thin wall part (TH2) provided on the edge portion (KB2) of the second lens (L2) which is disposed so as to have the same optical axis as the first lens (L1), and thus the inter-axial distance between the first lens (L1) and the second lens (L2) does not need to be extended. Therefore, providing the extended portion (EX1) favorably increases degrees of freedom in the optical design for an imaging lens.

Description

撮像レンズ及び撮像装置Imaging lens and imaging apparatus
 本発明は、撮像レンズ及び撮像装置に関し、特にCCD(Charge Coupled Devices)型イメージセンサやCMOS(Complementary Meta1-oxide Semiconductor)型イメージセンサ等の固体撮像素子を用いた撮像装置に好適な撮像レンズ、及びこれを用いた撮像装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to an imaging lens and an imaging device, and in particular, an imaging lens suitable for an imaging device using a solid-state imaging device such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) type image sensor or a CMOS (Complementary Meta 1-oxide Semiconductor) type image sensor, and The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus using the same.
 コンパクトで薄型の撮像装置が、携帯電話機やPDA(Personal Digital Assistant)等のコンパクトで薄型の電子機器である携帯端末に搭載されるようになり、これにより遠隔地へ音声情報だけでなく画像情報も相互に伝送することが可能となっている。 Compact and thin imaging devices are now installed in portable terminals that are compact and thin electronic devices such as mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), which allows not only audio information but also image information to be sent to remote locations. It is possible to transmit to each other.
 これらの撮像装置に使用される撮像素子としては、CCD型イメージセンサやCMOS型イメージセンサ等の固体撮像素子が使用されている。近年では撮像素子の高画素化が進んでおり、高解像、高性能化が図られてきている。また、これら撮像素子上に被写体像を形成するためのレンズは、更なる低コスト化のために、大量生産に適した樹脂で形成されるレンズが用いられるようになってきた。 As an image pickup element used in these image pickup apparatuses, a solid-state image pickup element such as a CCD type image sensor or a CMOS type image sensor is used. In recent years, the number of pixels of an image sensor has been increased, and higher resolution and higher performance have been achieved. Further, as a lens for forming a subject image on these image pickup elements, a lens formed of a resin suitable for mass production has been used for further cost reduction.
 しかるに最近では、スマートフォンに代表される薄形の携帯端末の需要が急速に拡大してきており、これに搭載される撮像装置用としての撮像レンズに対しても、更なるコンパクト化の要求が益々厳しくなっており、従ってレンズの光軸方向厚さは薄くなる傾向がある。 However, recently, the demand for thin portable terminals typified by smartphones has been rapidly expanding, and the demand for further downsizing of imaging lenses for imaging devices installed in these devices has become increasingly severe. Therefore, the thickness of the lens in the optical axis direction tends to be thin.
 ここで、レンズの光軸方向厚さを薄くすると、一般的にレンズのコバ部の厚みも減少するが、それにより成形時に金型のキャビティ内に樹脂素材を流し込むためにコバ部外周に設けられるゲート厚みも縮小を余儀なくされ、これにより樹脂素材の充填不良やウェルドの発生を招いたり、面形状や厚みの精度を確保できなくなるなど成形上の不具合が生じる恐れがある。 Here, when the thickness in the optical axis direction of the lens is reduced, the thickness of the edge portion of the lens is generally reduced. However, this is provided on the outer periphery of the edge portion in order to flow the resin material into the cavity of the mold at the time of molding. The gate thickness is also inevitably reduced, which may cause defective filling of the resin material and generation of welds, and may cause molding problems such as failure to ensure the accuracy of the surface shape and thickness.
 これに対し、特許文献1には、レンズのコバ部の一部を外周から光学面まで盛り上げて、そこにゲートを設けることで、ゲートから流入する樹脂の流量を確保したレンズが開示されている。 On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a lens in which a part of the edge of the lens is raised from the outer periphery to the optical surface, and a gate is provided there to secure a flow rate of resin flowing from the gate. .

 しかるに、特許文献1に示されるレンズを、最も被写体側の第1レンズとして用いた場合、かかるレンズを覆うレンズ枠は、その盛り上がったコバ部の一部との干渉を回避すべく一部薄肉化する必要がある。ところが、一部薄肉化するにしても、レンズ枠の製造誤差を考えてマージンを確保しようとすると、第1レンズの物体側に隣接したレンズ枠の厚みは或る程度厚くする必要が有り、その結果として撮像装置の大型化を招き、折角レンズを薄型化するためにコバ部の一部を盛り上げても、全体としてコンパクト化の効果がさほど得られないという問題がある。また第1レンズの物体側に絞りを配置したい場合もあるが、そのコバ部の一部を非点対称的に盛り上げると、設計位置に絞りを適正に配置できない恐れもある。 However, when the lens disclosed in Patent Document 1 is used as the first lens closest to the subject, the lens frame covering the lens is partially thinned to avoid interference with a part of the raised edge portion. There is a need to. However, even if the thickness is partially reduced, in order to secure a margin in consideration of manufacturing errors of the lens frame, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the lens frame adjacent to the object side of the first lens to some extent. As a result, the imaging apparatus is increased in size, and even if a part of the edge portion is raised in order to reduce the thickness of the folding lens, there is a problem that the effect of downsizing cannot be obtained as a whole. In some cases, it may be desired to dispose the stop on the object side of the first lens. However, if a part of the edge is raised asymmetrically, the stop may not be properly disposed at the design position.
 本発明は、このような状況を鑑みてなされたものであり、成形性に影響を与えることなくレンズを薄くでき、しかも撮像装置に組み付けたときに、周囲部品との干渉を抑制できる撮像レンズおよび、これを用いた撮像装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an imaging lens capable of reducing the thickness of the lens without affecting moldability and suppressing interference with surrounding components when assembled in an imaging device. An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging apparatus using the same.
 請求項1に記載の撮像レンズは、第1のレンズのコバ部の一部を光軸方向に延長して延長部とし、該延長部を、前記第1のレンズと光軸を合わせて配置した第2のレンズのコバ部に設けた逃げ部に収容させてなり、前記第1のレンズの延長部にゲートを設けたことを特徴とする。 The imaging lens according to claim 1, wherein a part of the edge portion of the first lens is extended in the optical axis direction to be an extension portion, and the extension portion is arranged so that the optical axis is aligned with the first lens.

The distal end of the extension part EX1 abuts against the thin part TH2, so that the distance between the axes of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 is determined. At this time, by combining the raised portion MT2 with the notch portion CT1, it is possible to prevent relative rotation between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. In such a state, the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are fixed to each other by an adhesive (not shown) and attached to the lens frame HD. However, the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 may not be bonded at this time, but may be bonded to the frame at the end. The lenses L3 and L4 shown in FIG. 1 can have the same configuration.
 本実施形態によれば、第1のレンズL1のコバ部KB1の一部を、第2のレンズL2側に向かって光軸方向に延長して延長部EX1としているので、図3に示すように、第1のレンズL1の物体側における形状は不変とできるから、撮像レンズを保持するレンズ枠HDの物体側板部HD1に加工を施す必要はなく、レンズ枠HDの光軸方向長を短くすることができる。更に、第1のレンズL1の延長部EX1の光軸直交方向にゲート部GT1を形成することで、ゲート部GT1の断面積を拡大することが出来、成形時には図3に点線で示すようにゲート部GT1を含む流路を介して流入する樹脂素材の流れを円滑に出来、成形性を高めることができる。又、延長部EX1は、第1のレンズL1と光軸を合わせて配置した第2のレンズL2のコバ部KB2に設けた薄肉部TH2に収容されるので、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2との軸間距離を伸ばす必要はなく、延長部EX1を設けることにより撮像レンズの光学設計が制限されないので好ましい。 According to the present embodiment, a part of the edge portion KB1 of the first lens L1 is extended in the optical axis direction toward the second lens L2 side to form the extension portion EX1, so as shown in FIG. Since the shape of the first lens L1 on the object side can be unchanged, there is no need to process the object side plate portion HD1 of the lens frame HD that holds the imaging lens, and the length of the lens frame HD in the optical axis direction is shortened. Can do. Furthermore, by forming the gate part GT1 in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the extension part EX1 of the first lens L1, the cross-sectional area of the gate part GT1 can be enlarged. At the time of molding, the gate is shown as shown by the dotted line in FIG. The flow of the resin material flowing in through the flow path including the part GT1 can be made smooth, and the moldability can be improved. Further, since the extension portion EX1 is accommodated in the thin portion TH2 provided in the edge portion KB2 of the second lens L2 that is arranged with the optical axis of the first lens L1, the first lens L1 and the second lens L1 are accommodated. It is not necessary to increase the distance between the lens L2 and the extension EX1 is preferable because the optical design of the imaging lens is not limited.
 更に、第2のレンズL2の盛り上げ部MT2(即ち薄肉部TH2とは異なる位置)の光軸直交方向にゲート部GT2を形成することで、コバ部KB2に薄肉部TH2を設けながらも、ゲート部GT2の断面積を確保することが出来、成形時には図6に点線で示すようにゲート部GT2を含む流路を介して流入する樹脂素材の流れを円滑に出来、成形性を高めることができる。 Furthermore, the gate portion GT2 is formed in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the raised portion MT2 of the second lens L2 (that is, a position different from the thin portion TH2), so that the gate portion KB2 is provided with the thin portion TH2. The cross-sectional area of GT2 can be ensured, and at the time of molding, as shown by the dotted line in FIG. 6, the flow of the resin material flowing through the flow path including the gate portion GT2 can be made smooth, and the moldability can be improved.
 図10は、変形例にかかる第1のレンズL1の像側から光軸方向に見た図である。図11は、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2とを組み合わせて、図10のXI-XI線の位置で切断した状態を示す図である。本変形例においては、ゲート部GT1に対応した延長部EX1の内周側を光軸に近づくように肉盛りし、且つ光軸に近づくに連れて物体側に漸次シフトする(第2レンズL2から遠ざかるように傾いた)テーパ部TP1を設けている。
一方、変形例にかかる第2のレンズL2の円筒部CY2の外周は、テーパ部TP1に対応して切り欠いてなり、ここにテーパ部TP2を形成している。それ以外の構成については、上述した実施形態と同様である。
FIG. 10 is a diagram viewed from the image side of the first lens L1 according to the modification in the optical axis direction. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are combined and cut at the position of the XI-XI line in FIG. In this modification, the inner peripheral side of the extension part EX1 corresponding to the gate part GT1 is built up so as to approach the optical axis, and gradually shifts toward the object side as the optical axis is approached (from the second lens L2). A tapered portion TP1 is provided which is inclined to move away.
On the other hand, the outer periphery of the cylindrical portion CY2 of the second lens L2 according to the modification is notched corresponding to the tapered portion TP1, and the tapered portion TP2 is formed here. About another structure, it is the same as that of embodiment mentioned above.
 図11に示すように、遮光部材SH1を介在させた状態で、円筒部CY2に延長部EX1を嵌合させたとき、テーパ部TP1がテーパ部TP2に対向するようになるので、テーパ部TP1が第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2との組み合わせの障害になることはない。一方、テーパ部TP1を設けることで、成形時にゲート部GT1から流入した樹脂素材がスムーズに光学面を転写するキャビティ内まで進入でき、レンズ部OP1の成形性を高めることができる。 As shown in FIG. 11, when the extension portion EX1 is fitted to the cylindrical portion CY2 with the light shielding member SH1 interposed, the taper portion TP1 faces the taper portion TP2. There is no obstacle to the combination of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. On the other hand, by providing the taper portion TP1, the resin material flowing from the gate portion GT1 during molding can smoothly enter the cavity where the optical surface is transferred, and the moldability of the lens portion OP1 can be improved.
 図12は、別な変形例にかかる第1のレンズL1の像側から光軸方向に見た図である。
本変形例では、第1のレンズL1のコバ部KB1に設けられた延長部EX1が、周方向に等間隔に3箇所設けられている。図示していないが、第2のレンズL2のコバ部KB2には、3つの延長部EX1に対応して3つの盛り上げ部MT2が形成されている。盛り上げ部MT2間が逃げ部を構成する。
FIG. 12 is a diagram viewed from the image side of the first lens L1 according to another modification in the optical axis direction.
In the present modification, three extension portions EX1 provided at the edge portion KB1 of the first lens L1 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Although not shown, three raised portions MT2 are formed in the edge portion KB2 of the second lens L2 corresponding to the three extended portions EX1. A space between the raised portions MT2 constitutes an escape portion.
 第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2の偏心やコマ収差などは、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2の光軸回りの相対位相角度を変えることで、キャンセルできる場合がある。本変形例によれば、第1のレンズL1の延長部EX1が収容される、いずれかの盛り上げ部MT2間との組み合わせを120°位相で変えることができるので、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2の光軸回りの相対位相角度を変更出来、これにより偏心やコマ収差などをキャンセル可能となる。 The decentering and coma aberration of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 may be canceled by changing the relative phase angle around the optical axis of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. According to the present modification, the combination between any of the raised portions MT2 in which the extension portion EX1 of the first lens L1 is accommodated can be changed by 120 ° phase, so the first lens L1 and the second lens The relative phase angle around the optical axis of the lens L2 can be changed, so that decentration, coma, etc. can be canceled.

FIG. 14 is a diagram of the second lens L2 according to the second embodiment viewed from the object side in the optical axis direction. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are combined and cut at the position of the XV-XV line in FIGS. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a state where the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are combined and cut at the position of the XVI-XVI line in FIGS.
 本実施形態にかかる第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2とは、レンズ部を除き類似した形状を有する。より具体的には、第1のレンズL1のコバ部KB1に設けられた延長部EX1が、周方向に等間隔に3箇所設けられており、延長部EX1の間のコバ部KB1は延長部EX1の内径位置まで外径が小さくなり、逃げ部ES1を形成している。又、第2のレンズL2のコバ部KB2に設けられた延長部EX2が、延長部EX1と相補関係となるようにして3箇所設けられており、延長部EX2の間のコバ部KB2は延長部EX2の内径位置まで外径が小さくなり、逃げ部ES2を形成している。尚、本実施形態では、第2のレンズL2は円筒部を形成しておらず、ゲート部GT2は一つの延長部EX2の外周に設けられている。 The first lens L1 and the second lens L2 according to the present embodiment have similar shapes except for the lens portion. More specifically, three extension portions EX1 provided in the edge portion KB1 of the first lens L1 are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and the edge portion KB1 between the extension portions EX1 is the extension portion EX1. The outer diameter is reduced to the inner diameter position, and the escape portion ES1 is formed. Further, the extension part EX2 provided in the edge part KB2 of the second lens L2 is provided in three places so as to be complementary to the extension part EX1, and the edge part KB2 between the extension parts EX2 is an extension part. The outer diameter is reduced to the inner diameter position of EX2, and the escape portion ES2 is formed. In the present embodiment, the second lens L2 does not form a cylindrical portion, and the gate portion GT2 is provided on the outer periphery of one extension portion EX2.
 図15、16に示すように、遮光部材SH1を介在させた状態で、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2とを組み合わせたとき、第1のレンズL1の延長部EX1は、第2のレンズL2の延長部EX2の間に入り込んで逃げ部ES2に至る一方で、延長部EX2は延長部EX1の間に入り込んで逃げ部ES1に至り、これにより光軸の合わせが可能になる。又、延長部EX1は逃げ部ES2に入り込み、延長部EX2は逃げ部ES1に入り込むので、第1のレンズL1と第2のレンズL2との軸間距離を抑えつつも、延長部EX1、EX2の光軸方向長さを確保できるから、その外周に設けたゲート部GT1、GT2の光軸方向長さを長く確保して、成形時にゲート部GT1、GT2から流入した樹脂素材がスムーズに光学面を転写するキャビティ内まで進入でき、レンズ部OP1、OP2の成形性を高めることができる。 As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, when the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are combined with the light shielding member SH1 interposed, the extension portion EX1 of the first lens L1 is the second lens L1. While entering between the extension portions EX2 of the lens L2 and reaching the escape portion ES2, the extension portion EX2 enters between the extension portions EX1 and reaches the escape portion ES1, thereby enabling alignment of the optical axes. In addition, since the extension portion EX1 enters the escape portion ES2 and the extension portion EX2 enters the escape portion ES1, the extension portions EX1 and EX2 of the extension portions EX1 and EX2 are suppressed while suppressing the distance between the axes of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2. Since the length in the optical axis direction can be ensured, the length in the optical axis direction of the gate portions GT1 and GT2 provided on the outer periphery thereof is ensured long, and the resin material flowing in from the gate portions GT1 and GT2 during molding smoothes the optical surface. It is possible to enter the cavity to be transferred, and to improve the moldability of the lens portions OP1 and OP2.

 なお、このような撮像装置LUが画像入力機能付きの携帯端末CUに搭載される場合、通常、携帯端末CUのボディ内部に撮像装置LUが配置される。ただし、携帯端末CUがカメラ機能を発揮する場合には、撮像装置LUが必要に応じた形態になる。例えば、ユニット化した撮像装置LUが、携帯端末CUの本体に対して着脱自在または回動自在になっていてもよい。 In addition, when such an imaging device LU is mounted on a portable terminal CU with an image input function, the imaging device LU is usually arranged inside the body of the portable terminal CU. However, when the mobile terminal CU exhibits the camera function, the imaging device LU takes a form as necessary. For example, the unitized imaging device LU may be detachable or rotatable with respect to the main body of the mobile terminal CU.
 図1に示す携帯端末CUは、撮像装置LUの他に、信号処理部1、制御部2、メモリ3、操作部4、および表示部5を含む。 1 includes a signal processing unit 1, a control unit 2, a memory 3, an operation unit 4, and a display unit 5 in addition to the imaging device LU.

The processed signal is recorded as a digital video signal in the memory 3 (semiconductor memory, optical disc, etc.), or converted into an infrared signal via a cable and transmitted to another device.
 制御部2は、マイクロコンピュータであり、撮影機能、画像再生機能等の機能制御等を集中的に行う。例えば、制御部2は、被写体の静止画撮影および動画撮影のうちの少なくとも一方を行うように、撮像装置LUを制御する。 The control unit 2 is a microcomputer and performs function control such as a photographing function and an image reproduction function intensively. For example, the control unit 2 controls the imaging device LU so as to perform at least one of still image shooting and moving image shooting of a subject.
 メモリ3は、例えば、撮像素子SRで生成されるとともに信号処理部1にて処理された信号を記憶する。 The memory 3 stores, for example, a signal generated by the image sensor SR and processed by the signal processing unit 1.
 操作部4は、操作ボタン(例えばレリーズボタン)、操作ダイヤル(例えば撮影モードダイヤル)等の操作部材を含む部分であり、操作者の操作入力した情報を制御部2に伝達する。 The operation unit 4 is a part including operation members such as an operation button (for example, a release button) and an operation dial (for example, a shooting mode dial), and transmits information input by the operator to the control unit 2.
 表示部5は、液晶モニター等のディスプレイを含む部分であり、イメージセンサSRによって変換された画像信号またはメモリ3に記録されている画像情報を用いて画像表示を行うことができる。 The display unit 5 includes a display such as a liquid crystal monitor, and can display an image using an image signal converted by the image sensor SR or image information recorded in the memory 3.
