[0030] Current surveillance zoom optical systems suffer from common drawbacks: high cost, inability to achieve infrared parfocality at every zoom magnification, lens inoperability or reduced resolution in extreme environments, and so on. Currently, no lens on the market fully addresses these shortcomings. A few improve certain aspects at the expense of others. For example, to achieve ultra-low costs, all-plastic lenses are used, resulting in either failure to guarantee infrared parfocality at every magnification or inability to operate in extreme environments. Some lenses also employ multiple glass elements to achieve required resolution and withstand extreme conditions, increasing costs and hindering their widespread adoption.

[0031] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an optical lens system 100. Figure 1 This is a specific embodiment of the optical lens system 100 provided by the present invention.

[0032] See also Figure 1 The optical lens system 100 includes a plurality of lens groups arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, and an optical axis is formed between the plurality of lens groups. The plurality of lens groups include a first lens group 10 and a second lens group 20. The first lens group 10 has negative optical power and is movably arranged along the extension direction of the optical axis; the second lens group 20 has positive optical power and is movably arranged along the extension direction of the optical axis. Image plane compensation is achieved by changing the positions of the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20.

[0033] In the technical solution provided by the present invention, by arranging the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20, the refractive index and the Abbe number of the light from the object side to the image side are complementary, thereby ensuring the resolution effect in the infrared band while ensuring small chromatic aberration in the visible band. By adjusting the positions of the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20, the change in the conjugate distance of the first lens group 10 and the change in the conjugate distance after magnification of the second lens group 20 are offset, thereby achieving image plane compensation, thereby providing an ultra-low-cost, glass-plastic hybrid, high-reliability zoom optical lens system 100.

[0034] It should be noted that optical power is equal to the difference between the image-side and object-side convergence of a beam, and it characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The negative optical power of the first lens group 10 and the positive optical power of the second lens group 20 enable the beam to be projected in the desired direction.

[0035] Furthermore, to improve imaging quality, in this embodiment, an aperture 30 is provided between the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20. The aperture 30 limits the aperture of the on-axis light beam and blocks some light during the zooming process, thereby reducing light spots, improving image contrast, and helping to improve image quality.

[0036] Specifically, the change in the conjugate distance of the first lens group 10 is offset by the change in the conjugate distance of the second lens group 20 after longitudinal magnification, thereby achieving image plane compensation. To specifically control the range of motion of the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20, in this embodiment, the distance between the image-side side of the first lens group 10 and the aperture 30 is L1, where 0.93mm≤L1≤12.67mm; the distance between the object-side side of the second lens group 20 and the aperture 30 is L2, where 0.335mm≤L2≤6.96mm. It should be noted that the above two related technical features can be provided simultaneously or alternatively.

[0037] Furthermore, during the optical design process, the lens groups are grouped according to the functions and tasks they achieve. The first lens group 10 includes a first lens 1, a second lens 2, and a third lens 3 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side; the second lens group 20 includes a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, and an eighth lens 8 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, wherein the optical power of the fourth lens 4 is positive or negative, the optical power of the fifth lens 5 is positive, the optical power of the sixth lens 6 is negative, the optical power of the seventh lens 7 is positive, and the optical power of the eighth lens 8 is positive or negative. The surface shape of any of the above lenses needs to satisfy the following formula:

[0038]

[0039] Wherein, c corresponds to the reciprocal of the radius R, y is the radial coordinate, k is the conic quadratic curve coefficient, and a1 to a8 are the coefficients corresponding to each radial coordinate.

[0040] Furthermore, in the prior art, similar optical lens systems 100 employ plastic aspheric surfaces to achieve confocality and control costs. This results in poor lens reliability and inability to adapt to environments with large temperature differences. To enhance the stability of the optical lens system 100, in this embodiment, the first lens 1 is a glass spherical lens, while the second lens 2 and the third lens 3 are plastic aspheric lenses. This arrangement effectively corrects lens chromatic aberration, achieving infrared confocality while ensuring control of lens purple fringing, while also correcting spherical aberration and sinusoidal aberration at high magnification positions.

[0041] In this embodiment, the fourth lens element 4 is a glass spherical lens, while the fifth lens element 5, the sixth lens element 6, the seventh lens element 7, and the eighth lens element 8 are plastic aspherical lenses. The second lens group 20 diverges light of different colors, and the fifth lens element 5, the sixth lens element 6, and the seventh lens element 7 correct for higher-order aberrations, balancing the aberrations of the entire system. Vignetting is also implemented on each lens element to block peripheral stray light without affecting illumination, ensuring consistent resolution at the center and edges of the image plane.

[0042] Thus, by rationally designing the optical parameters and materials of each lens, the optical lens system 100 can maintain clear image resolution in extreme environments (high temperature of 70°C, low temperature of -40°C, or relative humidity of 90%) without the need for refocusing. The system uses a plastic material with extremely low water absorption and fully considers the changes in the refractive index and Abbe number of various lens materials at high and low temperatures, matching the surface shape and changes in air spacing, achieving positive and negative matching of the changes in the various factors of high and low temperatures and humidity, ensuring synchronization and clarity of the image plane in high and low temperature and different humidity environments.

[0043] Furthermore, to reduce or eliminate chromatic aberration, in this embodiment, the second lens 2 and the third lens 3 are quasi-cemented. To minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration, in this embodiment, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 are also quasi-cemented. Lens cementing, by gluing two lenses made of different materials together, corrects for glass dispersion and achieves further improvements in polychromatic (white light) imaging performance compared to single lenses.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, the optical lens system 100 further includes a photosensitive chip 40, which is disposed on the side of the second lens group 20 facing the image side, and the photosensitive surface of the photosensitive chip 40 is disposed toward the second lens group 20, so as to receive an image on the image side and process the received image through the photosensitive chip 40.

[0045] Furthermore, a filter 50 is disposed between the photosensitive chip 40 and the second lens assembly 20. This filter 50 effectively filters out stray light in non-operating wavelengths, reducing optical noise and simplifying subsequent photoelectric module processing. This filter 50 can also be used to adjust the color saturation of the final image.

[0046] It should be noted that the basic parameters of the optical lens system 100 in this embodiment are shown in Table 1, where the units of curvature radius and thickness are both millimeters (mm).

[0054] The present invention further provides a surveillance camera device, comprising the optical lens system 100. Since the surveillance camera device comprises the optical lens system 100, the specific structure of the optical lens system 100 is similar to that of the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the optical lens system 100 of the surveillance camera device employs all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
