Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of imaging lens technology, and in particular to an optical lens. Background Technology

[0002] Since 2010, my country has experienced explosive growth in the field of machine vision. With the development of camera technology, camera modules have gradually evolved from fixed-focus systems with limited camera conditions to zoom systems that can switch between different camera conditions.

[0003] Current zoom systems typically use a voice coil motor to drive certain lenses, causing relative movement to change the distance between them and thus altering the focal length. This allows for autofocus at various shooting distances, ensuring consistent image quality while adapting to different object distances, depths of field, and shooting range requirements. Furthermore, to achieve even higher image quality, current optical systems are increasingly using image sensors with higher resolution, such as CCDs or CMOS sensors.

[0004] However, in order to match the image quality of the zoom system with the high pixel count of the image sensor, it is usually necessary to add lenses, which increases the weight and size of the lens. At the same time, for high-speed or precision applications that require rapid refocusing, existing zoom systems have difficulty capturing sharp and accurate images, i.e., slow focusing speed and low image quality. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide an optical lens that has at least the advantages of fast focusing, small size, and high image quality.

[0006] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions.

[0007] This invention provides an optical lens comprising, along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane: a first lens with positive optical power, the object side of the first lens being convex; a second lens with positive optical power, the object side of the second lens being convex and the image side of the second lens being concave; a third lens with negative optical power, the image side of the third lens being concave; a voltage-driven zoom lens; a fourth lens with negative optical power, the object side and image side of the fourth lens being both concave; and a fifth lens with positive optical power, the object side and image side of the fifth lens being both convex; wherein the voltage-driven zoom lens contains an aperture stop.

[0008] Compared with existing technologies, the optical lens provided by this invention can effectively avoid lens sensitivity problems caused by excessive concentration of optical focal length by reasonably allocating the optical power of each lens, effectively balance chromatic aberration and distortion, improve image quality, and at the same time ensure that the length of the optical system is shortened as much as possible while maintaining a sufficiently large effective focal length, thereby achieving lens miniaturization.

[0022] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention will be thorough and complete.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. Throughout this specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements.

[0024] The present invention proposes an optical lens comprising, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a voltage-driven zoom lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a filter, wherein the optical centers of each lens are located on the same straight line.

[0025] Among them, the voltage-driven zoom lens has an aperture stop;

[0026] The first lens has positive optical power, the object side of the first lens is convex, and the image side of the first lens is either convex or concave.

[0027] The second lens has positive optical power, the object side of the second lens is convex, and the image side of the second lens is concave.

[0028] The third lens has negative optical power, the object side of the third lens is convex or concave, and the image side of the third lens is concave.

[0029] The fourth lens has negative optical power, and both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the fourth lens are concave.

[0030] The fifth lens has positive optical power, and both the object side and the image side of the fifth lens are convex.

[0031] The optical lens provided by this invention effectively reduces the weight and size of the lens through the reasonable combination of lens elements; at the same time, it uses a voltage-driven zoom lens, which can maintain good image quality at different object distances and can ensure that the voltage-driven zoom lens can be adjusted under different temperature conditions to obtain good image quality.

[0032] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following condition:

[0037] Where TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, and IH represents the image height of the optical lens.

When the TTL / IH value exceeds the lower limit, due to the excessive optical focal length of each lens, lens aberration correction is difficult, and the resolving power is significantly reduced.

[0045] -3<(R3+R4) / (R3-R4)<-1; (5)

[0046] Where R3 represents the radius of curvature of the object side of the second lens, and R4 represents the radius of curvature of the image side of the second lens. Satisfying the above condition (5) can reduce the eccentricity sensitivity of the second lens and improve the product yield.

[0047] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following condition:

[0048] -0.8 <f3 / f<-0.1; (6)

[0049] Where f3 represents the effective focal length of the third lens, and f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens. Satisfying the above condition (6) can effectively correct the field curvature of the optical lens, improve resolution, and enhance the brightness of the outer edge field of view.

[0050] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following condition:

[0051] 1 <Vd5-Vd4<30; (7)

[0052] -15 <f4 / Nd4<-3; (8)

[0053] 3 <f5 / Nd5<8; (9)

[0054] Wherein, Vd4 represents the Abbe number of the fourth lens, Vd5 represents the Abbe number of the fifth lens, Nd4 represents the refractive index of the fourth lens, Nd5 represents the refractive index of the fifth lens, f4 represents the effective focal length of the fourth lens, and f5 represents the effective focal length of the fifth lens. By satisfying the above conditions (7), (8), and (9), and by selecting appropriate lens materials, the fourth and fifth lenses can bear part of the optical power of the optical system, which helps to correct aberrations and improve resolution.

[0055] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the following condition:

[0056] 1.2

[0057] Where U represents the voltage of the voltage-driven zoom lens at the working object distance, and f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens. By satisfying the above condition (10), good image quality can be achieved under different working object distances and different temperature environments.

[0059] 27.0mm < TTL < 36.0mm; (11)

[0060] 21.3 mm ≤ f ≤ 25.8 mm; (12)

[0061] ​Where TTL represents the total optical length of the optical lens, and f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens. By satisfying the above conditions (11) and (12), the total optical length and effective focal length of the optical lens can be reasonably controlled, thereby achieving miniaturization of the optical lens.
