[0029] The embodiments are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, one embodiment, some embodiments and other embodiments are used to distinguish different embodiments and do not refer to all embodiments in general; the directions / positions indicated by top, bottom, center, edge, inner, outer, far, near, long, wide, vertical, horizontal, up, down, front, back, left, right, etc. are based on the observation angle of the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as the component / device being located in a specific position or facing a specific direction.
[0031] The lens grouping method described in this specification is for the convenience of illustrating the embodiments only. It is understood that other grouping methods may be used in optical design analysis, lens forming, and lens assembly.
[0032] Positive lens and positive optical power both refer to an optical system with a positive image-side focal length, which converges parallel incident light beams. Negative lens and negative optical power both refer to an optical system with a negative image-side focal length, which diverges parallel incident light beams. The light-transmitting surface of a lens can be simply referred to as the "surface." The side of the lens facing the object being photographed by the camera is called the "object-side surface," and the side of the lens facing the camera's image sensor is called the "image-side surface."
[0033] The aperture stop, also known as the "stop," is numbered along with the lens's light-transmitting surface.
[0034] Example 1
[0035] A fixed-focus lens is disclosed.
[0036] This fixed-focus lens has a focal length of 56mm and is compatible with a maximum aperture of F / 1.4 and an ASP-C format imaging sensor.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 . Figure 1 The lens tube is not shown in the figure. The central axis Z1 (also known as the optical axis, principal axis, or principal optical axis) points from left to right towards the image plane IMG. Figure 2 In the image sensor (IMG), a filter protector (FIT) is located in front of the image sensor (IMG).
[0038] Table 1 below lists the lens data and positional relationships of this fixed-focus lens.
[0039]
[0040] In Table 1, the object-side surface of the first lens L1 is denoted as surface S1. Other light-transmitting surfaces (including the plane containing the aperture stop STO and the lens cementing surface) are numbered in ascending order along the central axis Z1. The image-side surface of the twelfth lens L12 is denoted as surface S21. "Radius of curvature R" represents the paraxial radius of curvature at the vertex of a surface. The i-th surface S... i and the (i+1)th surface S i+1 For lenses between two adjacent lenses: their "thickness" is the central axis thickness, and their "refractive index Nd" and "Abbe number Nd" are measured values on the d-line. The distance between the image-side surface of the first lens and the object-side surface of the second lens on the central axis Z1 is called the central axis distance between them.
[0041] The 12 lenses of this fixed-focus lens are numbered in ascending order along the central axis, and are all glass lenses, which can be divided into three groups. In the lens barrel of this fixed-focus lens ( Figure 1 (Not shown) Along the central axis Z1, from the object side to the image side, the first lens group G1, the aperture stop STO, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 are arranged in sequence.
[0042] During the focusing process of this fixed-focus lens, only the second lens group G2 can be moved back and forth along the central axis Z1 by a stepper motor. The first lens group G1, the aperture stop STO, and the third lens group G3 are all fixed in position relative to the image plane IMG. The distance between the aperture stop STO and the central axis of the surface S10 of the first lens group G1 is approximately 1.5 mm, and the distance between the central axis of the image plane IMG and the surface S21 of the third lens group G3 is approximately 19.7 mm.
[0043] The first lens group G1 has positive optical power and consists of six glass lenses: two meniscus positive lenses, one meniscus negative lens, and a set of cemented triplet positive lenses. These six glass lenses are arranged sequentially along the central axis Z1: lens L1, lens L2, lens L3, lens L4, lens L5, and lens L6. Lens L5 is a biconcave spherical negative lens, cemented together with lens L4 and lens L6 to form a set of cemented triplet positive lenses. Both the object-side and image-side surfaces of this cemented triplet positive lens are convex spherical.
[0044] The second lens group G2, with a focal length of -34.42mm, is composed of a single glass lens and can move along the central axis during focusing. Its absolute focal length is 0.61 times that of the fixed-focus lens. The object-side surface of the aforementioned single glass lens is nearly flat, and its radius of curvature is positive.
[0045] The third lens group G3 has positive optical power and consists of five glass lenses: a cemented doublet negative lens, a biconvex spherical positive lens, and another cemented doublet negative lens. These five glass lenses are arranged sequentially along the central axis Z1: lens L8, lens L9, lens L10, lens L11, and lens L12. In the cemented doublet negative lens formed by cementing lens L8 and lens L9, the object-side surface is concave spherical, and the image-side surface is convex spherical; the cemented surface is nearly planar, and the radius of curvature is positive. In the cemented doublet negative lens formed by cementing lens L11 and lens L12, the object-side surface is convex spherical, and the image-side surface is concave spherical; the radius of curvature of the cemented surface is negative.
[0046] All 12 glass lenses are arranged sequentially along the central axis Z1 to form the three lens groups mentioned above, and are installed inside the lens barrel. The lens barrel is equipped with a stepper motor and a power input interface.
[0047] Figure 1 The second lens group G2 is located at the object-side boundary of its movement range T1, approximately 1.95 mm away from the central axis of the aperture stop STO. At this time, the fixed-focus lens is in focus at infinity. Please refer to the optical path diagram. Figure 2 When this fixed-focus lens focuses on a close-up object, the second lens group G2 moves along the central axis to the image plane IMG, without exceeding the image-side boundary of its movement range T1. Because only a single lens element moves, the focusing electrical load of this fixed-focus lens is low, reducing camera power consumption.
