Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of imaging lenses, and in particular to an optical lens. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of machine vision technology, the principle of triangulation has been widely applied in industrial inspection. Image sensors capture the laser line projected onto an object's surface, thereby reconstructing the object's surface contour. During image acquisition, a lens is required to capture tilted objects. However, due to the limited depth of field, traditional lenses struggle to clearly image the entire tilted surface, thus affecting the measurement accuracy of oblique imaging lenses used in industrial inspection. However, by utilizing Scham's law, the lens is gradually tilted so that the extended planes of the object plane, the image plane, and the lens plane intersect in a straight line, resulting in a clear image of the entire object surface.

[0003] Existing lenses suffer from issues such as large size, high distortion, and poor image quality, making them unable to meet imaging needs. Striking a balance between miniaturization and high image quality has become a pressing challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0047] For a better understanding of the present application, various aspects of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these detailed descriptions are merely descriptions of embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements. The expression "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0048] It should be noted that in this specification, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used solely to distinguish one feature from another and do not limit the features. Thus, the first lens discussed below could also be referred to as the second lens or the third lens without departing from the teachings of the present invention.

[0050] In this article, the paraxial region refers to the area near the optical axis. If a lens surface is convex and the location of the convex surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is convex at least in the paraxial region. If a lens surface is concave and the location of the concave surface is undefined, it means that the lens surface is concave at least in the paraxial region. The surface of each lens closest to the subject is called the object-side surface of the lens, and the surface of each lens closest to the imaging plane is called the image-side surface of the lens.

[0051] It should also be understood that the terms "comprises," "including," "having," "includes," and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, indicate the presence of the stated features, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof. In addition, when expressions such as "at least one of..." appear after a list of listed features, they modify the entire list of features rather than modifying the individual elements in the list. In addition, when describing embodiments of the present application, "may" is used to mean "one or more embodiments of the present application." And, the term "exemplary" is intended to refer to an example or illustration.

[0052] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. It should also be understood that terms (such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries) should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant technology and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined as such herein.

[0053] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0054] The optical lens provided in the embodiments of the present invention is a Sham lens, also known as an oblique lens. Its principle is that the extended lines of the object plane, the principal lens plane, and the imaging plane intersect in a single line, enabling clear imaging across the entire inclined plane. Sham's law enables clear imaging across the entire inclined field of view. It is understood that among the lenses of the present invention, at least some of the lenses have angles between their optical axes and the object plane and the imaging plane, respectively. At least some of the lenses are tilted relative to the object plane and the imaging plane. The object plane of the optical lens of the present invention is arranged along the Y-axis.

[0055] The optical lens of the present invention has a total of six lenses, which are the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens and the sixth lens in order from the object plane to the imaging plane along the light transmission direction.

[0056] Among them, the first lens may have a negative optical power. Its object side is concave near the optical axis, and its image side is convex near the optical axis. The second lens may have a positive optical power. Its object side is convex, and its image side may be concave or flat near the optical axis. The third lens may have a positive optical power. Its object side is convex, and its image side is convex. The fourth lens may have a negative optical power. Its object side is concave, and its image side is concave. The fifth lens may have a positive optical power. Its object side may be concave or convex, and its image side is convex. The sixth lens may have an optical power. Its object side is concave, and its image side is concave near the optical axis. The object plane, the main plane of the optical lens, and the imaging plane intersect at a line.

[0057] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, and the aperture may be located between the first lens and the second lens. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the image.

[0058] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, and the filter may be disposed between the sixth lens and the imaging plane. The filter is used to filter out interfering light and prevent the interfering light from reaching the imaging plane of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.

[0059] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < TTL / f < 1.3. Meeting the above range helps to achieve the overall miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, 1.07 < TTL / f < 1.28.

[0060] In some embodiments, the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens and the f-number Fno of the optical lens satisfy: 11° < FOV / Fno < 13°. Meeting the above range provides a reasonable field of view and f-number, taking into account the design difficulty and the requirements of the field of view, and at the same time keeping the f-number within a reasonable range. More specifically, 11.69° < FOV / Fno < 12.02°.

[0061] In some embodiments, the true image height IHy in the Y direction corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens and the true image height IHx in the X direction corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < IHy / IHx < 1.1. Meeting the above range, the image heights of the lens in the X and Y directions do not differ much, and the lens has a low grid distortion. More specifically, 0.95 < IHy / IHx < 1.08.

[0062] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.25 < BFL / f < 0.35; the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.23 < BFL / TTL < 0.28. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the back focal length of the lens helps to maintain the miniaturization of the lens, have sufficient back focus, and reduce the lens assembly difficulty.

[0063] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -4 < f1 / f < -3.2; the object-side curvature radius R1 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.6 < R1 / f < -1; the image-side curvature radius R2 of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -4.2 < R2 / f < -1.9. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the first lens and the shapes of the object side and the image side can make the light enter the rear lens at a relatively gentle angle, which helps to improve the overall stability of the oblique shooting lens. More specifically, -4 < f1 / f < -3.25; -1.6 < R1 / f < -1.02; -4.13 < R2 / f < -1.95.

[0064] In some embodiments, the focal length f2 of the second lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.9 < f2 / f < 1.6; the focal length f3 of the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.75 < f3 / f < 0.9. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the second lens and the third lens helps to reduce aberration and reduce the sensitivity of the oblique shooting lens. More specifically, 0.95 < f2 / f < 1.53; 0.78 < f3 / f < 0.87.

[0065] In some embodiments, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -1.85 < f4 / f < -1.35; the object-side curvature radius R7 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -7.2 < R7 / f < -6.9; the image-side curvature radius R8 of the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 0.95 < R8 / f < 1.1. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the fourth lens and the shapes of the object side and the image side can effectively reduce distortion. More specifically, -1.81 < f4 / f < -1.39; -7.2 < R7 / f < -6.91; 0.98 < R8 / f < 1.08.

[0066] In some embodiments, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.9 < f5 / f < 105; the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface of the first lens, the curvature radius R2 of the image side surface of the first lens, and the central thickness CT1 of the first lens on the optical axis satisfy: 0.39 < (R1 - CT1) / R2 < 0.57. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the fifth lens helps the light rays to have a stable trend, reduces the deflection angle of the marginal light rays, and improves the imaging quality; reasonably limiting the central thickness of the first lens and the shapes of the object side surface and the image side surface helps to further reduce the incident light ray inclination angle. More specifically, 1.93 < f5 / f < 104.4.

[0067] In some embodiments, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.8 < f6 / f < 0.6; the curvature radius R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -0.45 < R11 / f < -0.34; the curvature radius R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.6 < R12 / f < 12.6. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the sixth lens and the shapes of the object side surface and the image side surface can effectively eliminate the grid distortion of the lens and improve the picture realism. More specifically, -0.79 < f6 / f < 0.6; -0.43 < R11 / f < -0.34; 2.62 < R12 / f < 12.53.

[0068] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the combined focal length f23456 of the second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses satisfy: -6.5 < f1 / f23456 < -5.4; the focal length f1 of the first lens and the combined focal length f2345 of the second, third, fourth, and fifth lenses satisfy: -5.5 < f1 / f2345 < -4.6. Satisfying the above ranges and reasonably limiting the proportion of the optical power of the first lens and the rear lens group can effectively improve the imaging quality and structural stability of the lens. More specifically, -6.45 < f1 / f23456 < -5.49; -5.45 < f1 / f2345 < -4.69.

[0069] In some embodiments, the object-side curvature radius R1 of the first lens and the image-side curvature radius R2 of the first lens satisfy the following conditions: -0.45 < (R1-R2) / (R1+R2) < -0.3; the object-side curvature radius R11 of the sixth lens and the image-side curvature radius R12 of the sixth lens satisfy the following conditions: -0.95 < (R11+R12) / (R11-R12) < -0.73. Meeting the above ranges and reasonably defining the shapes of the object-side and image-side surfaces of the first lens help reduce distortion produced by the first lens, reduce the difficulty of distortion correction for subsequent lenses, and improve the imaging quality of the lens. Reasonably defining the shapes of the object-side and image-side surfaces of the sixth lens help limit the degree of deflection of rear-end light while increasing image height.

[0070] In some embodiments, the optical axis of the first lens is 301 mm off-centered in the Y direction relative to the centerline of the object plane and tilted by -37° in the X direction; the centerline of the imaging plane is 0.04 mm to 0.32 mm off-centered in the X direction, 0.34 mm to 0.50 mm off-centered in the Y direction, and tilted by 27.37° to 27.49° in the X direction relative to the optical axis of the sixth lens.

[0071] In some embodiments, the centerline of the aperture is offset by -0.05 mm to -0.04 mm relative to the optical axis of the first lens in the Y direction and tilted by 14.45° to 21.04° in the X direction. Furthermore, the centerline of the aperture is collinear with the optical axes of the second and third lenses.

[0072] In some embodiments, the optical axis of the fourth lens is decentered by -0.21 mm to 0° in the Y direction relative to the optical axis of the third lens, and is tilted by -6.71° to 0° in the X direction; the optical axis of the fifth lens is decentered by 0 to 0.21 mm in the Y direction relative to the optical axis of the fourth lens, and is tilted by 0 to 6.71° in the X direction; and the optical axis of the sixth lens is decentered by 0.19 mm to 0.49 mm in the Y direction relative to the optical axis of the fifth lens, and is tilted by -27.36° to -22.12° in the X direction.

[0073] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, and the maximum field of view FOV of the optical lens satisfy the following conditions: 0.7 < (IH / 2) / (f × Tan (FOV / 2)) < 0.84. Meeting these limits ensures that distortion is within a reasonable range.

[0074] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens on the optical axis respectively satisfy: 0.35 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.41; the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the sum ∑CT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the sixth lens on the optical axis respectively satisfy: 0.4 < ΣCT / f < 0.49. Meeting the above ranges helps to control the processability of the lens, reduce production costs and assembly difficulties.

[0075] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional expressions: 4.3 mm < f < 4.4 mm; 0.7 mm < EPD < 0.8 mm; 4.6 mm < TTL < 5.6 mm; 5.6 < Fno < 5.9; 39° < CRA < 43°; 1.1 mm < BFL < 1.6 mm; 65° < FOV < 70°; 4 mm < IHx < 5 mm; 3.8 mm < IHy < 5.4 mm. Wherein, f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, EPD represents the entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the f-number of the optical lens, CRA represents the chief ray angle of incidence of the optical lens, BFL represents the back focal length of the optical lens, FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens, IHy represents the true image height in the Y direction corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and IHx represents the true image height in the X direction corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens. Meeting the above ranges, the optical lens has at least one or more advantages such as miniaturization, large field angle, large image height, etc. More specifically, 4.34 mm < f < 4.36 mm; 0.74 mm < EPD < 0.78 mm; 4.69 mm < TTL < 5.55 mm; 5.64 < Fno < 5.81; 39.61° < CRA < 42.71°; 1.11 mm < BFL < 1.51 mm; 67.82° < FOV < 67.86°; 4.11 mm < IHx < 4.85 mm; 3.95 mm < IHy < 5.22 mm.

[0076] In some embodiments, the lens material in the optical lens provided by the present invention can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. On the other hand, when the lens material is glass, due to the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected. The optical lens provided by the present invention can adopt an all-plastic lens structure, which not only enables the lens to have excellent imaging performance, but also makes the structure of the lens relatively compact, and can better achieve the balance between miniaturization and high image quality of the lens.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, and sixth lens may be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared to spherical structures, aspherical structures can effectively reduce the aberrations of the optical system, thereby reducing the number and size of lenses, and better achieving lens miniaturization. More specifically, the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, and sixth lens of the present invention may all be aspherical lenses, which can effectively reduce the aberrations of the optical lens, thereby reducing the number and size of lenses, and better achieving lens miniaturization.

[0078] In various embodiments of the present invention, when the lens is an aspheric lens, the shapes of the aspheric surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equations:

[0079] ;

[0080] Where z is the distance between the surface and the vertex in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface, c is the curvature of the surface vertex, K is the quadratic surface coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are the fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order, tenth-order, twelfth-order, fourteenth-order, and sixteenth-order surface coefficients, respectively.

[0101] Table 1-3

[0102]

[0103] As can be seen from Tables 1-3, the optical axis of the first lens is 301 mm off-centered in the Y direction relative to the centerline of the object plane and tilted at -37° in the X direction; the centerline of the aperture is -0.05 mm off-centered in the Y direction relative to the optical axis of the first lens and tilted at 21.04° in the X direction; the centerline of the aperture is collinear with the optical axes of the second, third, fourth, and fifth lenses; the optical axis of the sixth lens is 0.49 mm off-centered in the Y direction relative to the optical axis of the fifth lens and tilted at -27.36° in the X direction; the centerline of the filter is 0.04 mm off-centered in the X direction, 0.28 mm off-centered in the Y direction, and tilted at 27.37° in the X direction relative to the optical axis of the sixth lens; and the centerline of the imaging plane is 0.21 mm off-centered in the Y direction relative to the centerline of the filter. It can be understood that the centerline of the imaging plane is 0.04 mm off-centered in the X direction, 0.49 mm off-centered in the Y direction, and tilted at 27.37° in the X direction relative to the optical axis of the sixth lens.

[0104] In this embodiment, the X-direction-F-Theta distortion curve, the Y-direction-F-Theta distortion curve, the MTF curve, the relative illumination curve, and the grid distortion curve of the optical lens 100 are shown as follows: Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 shown.

[0105] Figure 3 The X-direction F-Theta distortion curve for Example 1 is shown. It represents the F-Theta distortion of light at different image heights on the X-direction imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the distortion value (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the graph, the X-direction F-Theta distortion of the optical lens is controlled within 0-15%, indicating that the optical lens 100 is capable of effectively correcting distortion.

[0106] Figure 4 The Y-direction F-Theta distortion curve for Example 1 is shown, representing the F-Theta distortion of light at different image heights on the Y-direction imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the distortion value (unit: %), and the vertical axis represents the half field of view (unit: °). As can be seen from the figure, the Y-direction F-Theta distortion of the optical lens is controlled within 0-16%, indicating that the optical lens 100 is capable of effectively correcting distortion.

[0107] Figure 5The MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve for Example 1 is shown. It represents the degree of lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies across the field of view. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. As can be seen from the graph, the MTF value of this example is consistently above 0.28 across the entire field of view. Within the range of 0 to 120 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases evenly and smoothly from the center to the edge of the field of view, demonstrating excellent imaging quality and detail resolution at both low and high frequencies.

[0108] Figure 6 A relative illumination curve for Example 1 is shown, showing relative illumination values at different field angles on the imaging plane. The horizontal axis represents the half field angle (unit: degrees), and the vertical axis represents relative illumination (unit: %). As can be seen from the graph, at the maximum half field angle, the relative illumination value of the optical lens is still greater than 65%, indicating that the optical lens 100 has good relative illumination.

[0109] Figure 7 The grid distortion diagram of Example 1 is shown, with the horizontal axis representing the image height in the X direction and the vertical axis representing the image height in the Y direction. After the object plane is imaged onto the image plane through the lens, the predicted value of the checkerboard grid is relatively close to the actual value at each position, indicating that there is no obvious deformation of the image and that keystone distortion can be effectively eliminated.

It can be understood that the center line of the imaging plane is eccentric with respect to the optical axis of the sixth lens in the X direction by 0.15 mm, eccentric with respect to the Y direction by 0.5 mm, and tilted by 27.49° in the X direction.

[0122] In this embodiment, the X-direction-F-Theta distortion curve, the Y-direction-F-Theta distortion curve, the MTF curve, the relative illumination curve, and the grid distortion curve of the optical lens 200 are shown as follows: Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 shown.

In the range of 0 to 120 lp / mm, the MTF curve decreases evenly and smoothly from the center to the edge of the field of view, achieving good imaging quality and detail resolution in both low-frequency and high-frequency conditions.
