Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the deficiencies in the above-mentioned prior art solutions, the present invention provides an optical lens for projection with good reliability, large aperture, large angle, no distortion, image-space telecentricity, and 4K imaging.

[0006] The objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] An optical lens for projection, comprising:

[0008] A concave reflecting mirror arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side, a first lens group which is fixed and has negative optical power, a second lens group which has positive optical power and moves in the positive and reverse directions along the optical axis of the projection optical lens, a third lens group which has positive optical power, and a galvanometer mirror; the third lens group includes at least two lenses, and a stop is arranged between the lenses of the third lens group;

[0009] The relative aperture FNo of the projection optical lens satisfies: FNo∈[1.8,2.2];

[0010] The focal length f2 of the movable lens group and the focal length f of the projection optical lens satisfy:

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. Good reliability;

[0013] Fewer second lens groups, i.e., fewer moving lenses, reduce structural complexity and cost, and improve operational reliability;

[0014] 2. No distortion at large angles;

[0015] The lens of the first lens group is designed in a funnel shape, which, together with the optimization of the aspherical surface of the reflective surface of the reflector, such as the selection of curvature and K value, ensures that the optical distortion is less than 1%;

[0016] 3. Large aperture;

[0017] The second lens group can not only adjust the aberration caused by the change of picture size during movement, but also adjust the spherical aberration and coma introduced by the large aperture;

[0018] 4. High peripheral brightness ratio;

[0019] The lens of the third lens group facing the galvanometer (i.e., closest to the galvanometer) is a second aspherical lens, and the focal length of the lens and the distance (from the lens to the galvanometer) meet special conditions, ensuring image quality while having a high peripheral brightness ratio, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the lens;

[0020] 5. 4K imaging is achieved;

[0021] The second lens group includes at least one third aspherical lens, especially the lens facing (i.e., closest to) the aperture. The special design of curvature and K value can minimize the astigmatism and axial chromatic aberration of the lens during the mobile focusing process, thereby meeting the requirements of 4K imaging;

[0022] The first lens of the second lens group meets the high refractive index and low Abbe number range to ensure that the optical coma meets the requirements of 4K imaging;

[0023] 6. Like Fang Yuanxin;

[0024] The third lens group uses a combination of triplet and doublet lenses to make the divergence angles of the upper and lower rays closer, thus ensuring that the telecentricity of the lens is less than 0.1 degrees. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
