Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to a zoom objective optical system, and in particular relates to an adapter applied to a medical endoscope. The adapter is suitable for both a visible light source and an infrared light source. Background Art

[0002] Endoscope adapters are the connection system between endoscopes and imaging chips, and are mainly used in minimally invasive surgery in modern medicine. Ultra-high-definition endoscope adapters can present better medical images and provide higher medical diagnosis and treatment services. It is difficult to achieve an adapter with ultra-high-definition image quality and zoom at the same time.

[0003] At present, aspherical lenses are commonly used in objective optical systems with higher pixels, and the requirements of clarity and TV distortion are relatively easy to meet. The present invention uses glass aspherical lenses to design adapters, achieving the higher clarity and TV distortion requirements of aspherical surfaces. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to use glass aspherical lenses to design optical zoom objective lenses, so as to achieve the higher definition and TV distortion requirements of aspherical lenses, and to use reasonable lens structures to achieve higher definition and zoom effects.

[0005] The structure adopted by the present invention is: a medical endoscope optical zoom 4K adapter, including a lens body, wherein the lenses are arranged along the optical axis in the order of a first negative lens, a first positive lens, a first triplet lens, a second positive lens, and a second triplet lens from the front window protective glass to the chip, wherein the first triplet lens is a zoom group.

[0006] Preferably, the lens includes an aperture surface disposed between a first triplet lens and a second positive lens.

[0007] Furthermore, the chip display surface is perpendicular to the optical axis, and the chip center is on the optical axis.

[0008] Furthermore, the focal length of the first positive lens is between 20 mm and 40 mm; the focal length of the first triplet lens is between 10 mm and 30 mm; the focal length of the second positive lens is between 30 mm and 60 mm; and the focal length of the second triplet lens is between -50 mm and -25 mm.

[0009] Furthermore, the refractive index of the first negative lens is between 1.50 and 1.70; the refractive index of the first positive lens is between 1.80 and 1.95; in the first triplet lens, the refractive index of the lens close to the first positive lens is between 1.80 and 1.95, the refractive index of the middle positive lens is between 1.45 and 1.60, and the refractive index of the negative lens close to the second positive lens is between 1.75 and 1.85; the refractive index of the second positive lens is between 1.45 and 1.60; in the second triplet lens, the refractive index of the positive lens close to the second positive lens is between 1.50 and 1.65, the refractive index of the middle lens is between 1.85 and 2.00, and the refractive index of the negative lens close to the chip is between 1.65 and 1.75.

[0010] Furthermore, the first negative lens is a lens with at least one aspherical surface.

[0011] The present invention is realized by a reverse telephoto objective lens with an aperture as the boundary, a negative lens group in front and a positive lens group in the back, wherein the front lens group includes a fixed negative focal length lens group and a variable focal length lens group. According to this structure, an optical objective lens with a similar structure is selected as the initial structure, and the chip size is changed. By changing the glass material, the focal length scaling and the optimized design of the aberration control, an endoscope adapter with excellent image quality is finally achieved.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention provides a medical endoscope optical zoom adapter with a focal length ranging from 16mm to 32mm, an entrance pupil diameter of 4mm, a 4K resolution 1 / 2.5-inch chip, and a distortion of less than 0.3%. The adapter is a simple structure, cost-controlled and optimized imaging objective. The present invention is based on the principle of optical imaging, and uses optical design software to repeatedly perform structural optimization design on the imaging objective to achieve aberration optimization.
