Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical technology, and in particular relates to a zoom lens. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the gradual popularization of security monitoring, it is more and more widely used, user awareness is gradually deepening, and the requirements for image quality are getting higher and higher. Simply increasing the pixels on the original 1 / 3" series image sensor to improve the image resolution can no longer meet the user's experience needs. The existing solution is to increase the photosensitive area of ​​the image sensor, that is, to use a 1 / 2" series image sensor. Because the increase in the image sensor area causes a sharp increase in the lens diameter, length, and cost, the increase in the lens volume leads to a series of problems such as the increase in the camera's pan / tilt and casing. Therefore, a lens with a moderate diameter and length is needed to prevent the size of the camera from being excessively increased while also ensuring the zoom effect. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies, the inventors of the present invention have continuously reformed and innovated through long-term exploration and attempts, multiple experiments and efforts, and proposed a zoom lens, which has the advantages of high lens resolution, high imaging quality, and good image quality, as well as the characteristics of large magnification, large field of view, large relative aperture, and large target surface.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is to provide a zoom lens. It is composed of an image plane located on the image side and the following four lens groups: The front fixed group A has positive optical power and is composed of four lenses having refractive powers, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side: a negative meniscus lens A1, a positive meniscus lens A2, a biconvex lens A3, and a positive meniscus lens A4; The zoom group B has negative optical power and is disposed between the front fixed group A and the image side. It is composed of four lenses with refractive power, namely, a negative meniscus lens B1, a biconcave lens B2, a biconvex lens B3, and a biconcave lens B4, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side. The intermediate fixed group C has positive optical power and is disposed between the zoom group B and the image side. It is composed of five lenses with refractive power, namely, a biconvex lens C1, a negative meniscus lens C2, a positive meniscus lens C3, a biconvex lens C4, and a negative meniscus lens C5, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. A stop is provided before the biconvex lens C1. The compensation group D has positive optical power and is disposed between the intermediate fixed group C and the image side. It is composed of four lenses with refractive power, namely, a biconvex lens D1, a positive meniscus lens D2, a biconvex lens D3, and a biconcave lens D4, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The front fixed group A, the zoom group B, the middle fixed group C, and the compensation group D are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side.

[0005] According to the zoom lens described in the present invention, a further preferred technical solution is: the negative meniscus lens A1 and the positive meniscus lens A2 are tightly bonded to form a first bonding group; the biconvex lens B3 and the biconcave mirror B4 are tightly bonded to form a second bonding group; the biconvex lens C1 and the negative meniscus lens C2 are tightly bonded to form a third bonding group; the biconvex lens D3 and the biconcave mirror D4 are tightly bonded to form a fourth bonding group.

[0006] According to a zoom lens described in the present invention, a further preferred technical solution is: the concave surface of the negative meniscus lens A1, the concave surface of the positive meniscus lens A2, the large surface of the biconvex lens A3, and the concave surface of the positive meniscus lens A4 of the front fixed group A are facing the image side; the concave surface of the negative meniscus lens B1, the small surface of the biconcave mirror B2, the small surface of the biconvex lens B3, and the large surface of the biconcave mirror B4 of the zoom group B are facing the image side; the small surface of the biconvex lens C1, the convex surface of the negative meniscus lens C2, the concave surface of the positive meniscus lens C3, the large surface of the biconvex lens C4, and the concave surface of the negative meniscus lens C5 of the intermediate fixed group C are facing the image side; the large surface of the biconvex lens D1, the concave surface of the positive meniscus lens D2, the large surface of the biconvex lens D3, and the small surface of the biconcave mirror D4 of the compensation group D are facing the image side. In the present invention, the large surface and the small surface refer to that the radii of the two surfaces in the biconvex and biconcave lenses are generally different, so a large surface and a small surface will appear.

[0007] According to a zoom lens described in the present invention, a further preferred technical solution is: when the lens changes from short focal length to long focal length: the moving direction of the zoom group B is from the front fixed group A to the middle fixed group C, and the interval between the front fixed group A and the zoom group B is 0.45mm-44mm, so that the moving range of the zoom group B from the short focal length end to the long focal length end of the lens is 43.55mm; the moving direction of the compensation group D is from the image plane to the middle fixed group C, and the interval between the middle fixed group C and the compensation group D is 6mm-24.5mm, so that the moving range of the compensation group D from the short focal length end to the long focal length end of the lens is 18.5mm.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided below is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in the subsequent drawings.

[0019] Example: like Figure 1-Figure 7 , a zoom lens, has the advantages of high lens resolution, large zoom, large field of view, large relative aperture, and large target surface. It consists of an image plane located on the image side and the following four lens groups: The front fixed group A has positive optical power and is composed of four lenses with refractive power, namely, negative meniscus lens A1, positive meniscus lens A2, biconvex lens A3, and positive meniscus lens A4, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The front fixed group is used for pre-focusing of light. The front fixed group is a four-piece structure. The high refractive index and high dispersion are glued with the low refractive index and low dispersion to better correct the chromatic aberration of the long focal length system. The four-piece structure greatly reduces the difficulty of lens processing at the short focal length while ensuring the same aberration contribution; The zoom group B has negative optical power and is arranged between the front fixed group A and the image side. It is composed of four lenses with refractive power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, namely, a negative meniscus lens B1, a biconcave lens B2, a biconvex lens B3, and a biconcave lens B4. The zoom group is used to change the focal length of the system by moving the zoom group. A four-piece structure is adopted to obtain a better correction effect of long-short focal aberrations. The middle fixed group C has positive optical power and is arranged between the zoom group B and the image side. It is composed of five lenses with refractive power, which are arranged in order from the object side to the image side: biconvex lens C1, negative meniscus lens C2, positive meniscus lens C3, biconvex lens C4, and negative meniscus lens C5. An aperture is set before the biconvex lens C1. The middle fixed group adopts the main aperture plus auxiliary aperture mode, which effectively solves the influence of off-axis stray light in the long focal length and improves image quality. The compensation group D has positive optical power and is disposed between the intermediate fixed group C and the image side. It is composed of four lenses with refractive power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, namely, a biconvex lens D1, a positive meniscus lens D2, a biconvex lens D3, and a biconcave lens D4. The function of the compensation group is to compensate for the image plane deviation caused by the movement of the zoom group. The front fixed group A, the zoom group B, the middle fixed group C, and the compensation group D are arranged in order from the object side to the image side. The image plane is where the image receptor is placed.

[0021] Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown is a light layout diagram, in this embodiment, when the lens changes from short focus to long focus: the moving direction of the zoom group B is from the front fixed group A to the middle fixed group C, and the interval between the front fixed group A and the zoom group B is 0.45~44mm, so that the moving range of the zoom group B from the short focus end to the long focus end of the lens is 43.55mm; the moving direction of the compensation group D is from the image plane to the middle fixed group C, and the interval between the middle fixed group C and the compensation group D is 6-24.5mm, so that the moving range of the compensation group D from the short focus end to the long focus end of the lens is 18.5mm.

[0022] In this embodiment, the combined focal length of the front fixed group A meets the condition: 63 mm <f A<73 mm; zoom group B combined focal length meets the condition: -13.5 mm <f B <9.5 mm; the focal length of the middle fixed group C meets the conditions: 36.5 mm <f C <46.5 mm; Compensation group D combined focal length meets the conditions: 32.5 mm <f D <38.5 mm.
