[0002] With the rapid development of automobile auxiliary driving, laser radar becomes an important device for realizing automobile auxiliary driving, which relies on analyzing the received reflected laser to determine the related information of the obstacle object, such as position, speed, etc. The optical lens is an important component of the laser radar. As described above, the optical lens is needed at the receiving end of the laser radar to receive the light beam.

[0080] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0081] The features, principles, and other aspects of the present application are described in detail below.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens includes, for example, five lenses with optical power, i.e., a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, and a fifth lens. The five lenses are arranged in order along the optical axis from the first side to the second side.

[0083] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens provided by the present application can be used as, for example, a vehicle-mounted lens. At this time, the first side of the optical lens can be the object side, and the second side can be the image side. Light from the object side can be imaged on the image side. The second side of the optical lens is the imaging surface of the optical lens.

[0084] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens provided by the present application can be used as, for example, a projection lens or a laser radar transmitting end lens. At this time, the second side of the optical lens can be the image source side, and the first side can be the imaging side. Light from the image source side can be imaged on the imaging side. The second side of the optical lens is the image source surface of the optical lens.

[0085] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens can further include a photosensitive element disposed on the second side. Optionally, the photosensitive element disposed on the second side can be a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor device (CMOS).

[0086] In the example embodiment, the first lens can have a negative focal power, and the first lens can have a convex-concave surface type. The first lens is configured in this way, which is conducive to collecting as much light as possible from a large field of view into the rear optical system, and is conducive to fixing the direction of the large-angle light at the edge. When the first lens has a special lens shape (for example, the first lens has a special lens shape close to a concentric circle), the light path is smoothly transitioned to the rear optical system, which is conducive to improving the imaging quality of the optical lens, reducing the front aperture and volume of the optical lens, and achieving miniaturization and cost reduction of the optical lens. When the material of the first lens is a high refractive index material, the front aperture of the optical lens is reduced, and the imaging quality of the optical lens is further improved. In actual applications, considering that the vehicle-mounted lens is installed outdoors and used in harsh weather such as rain and snow, the crescent shape of the convex first side is more suitable for rain and snow environments, which is conducive to the sliding of water droplets, reduces the impact on imaging, and is conducive to achieving high-energy light collection.

[0087] In the example embodiment, the second lens can have a negative focal power, and the second lens can have a concave-convex surface type. The second lens is configured in this way, which is conducive to converging the light passing through the second lens, and is conducive to achieving a smooth transition of the light. At the same time, it is conducive to reducing the front aperture and volume of the optical lens, and is conducive to achieving miniaturization and cost reduction of the optical lens. Optionally, the second lens can have a small degree of curvature (for example, an opening angle of 50°).

[0088] In the example embodiment, the third lens can have positive refractive power, and the third lens can have a convex-concave surface type. The third lens adopts such refractive power and surface type, which is conducive to better convergence of light rays and conducive to high-energy light collection. At the same time, it is conducive to balancing the pressure of the second lens and the fourth lens, making the light ray trend smoothly transition to the rear optical system, relieving the pressure of the rear lens, conducive to the reduction of the rear aperture of the optical lens, conducive to the uniformity of the lens size, and achieving the effect of making the optical lens more compact. In addition, it is also conducive to controlling the light ray trend between the second lens and the fourth lens, reducing the aberration caused by the large-angle light rays passing through the second lens, and conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. Further, the second side surface of the third lens is set as a concave surface, which is conducive to increasing the contact area between the third lens and the mechanism plane during assembly, and conducive to reducing the sensitivity of the third lens to the tilt angle. Further, the second side surface of the third lens is set as a concave surface, and the difference between the opening angles of the first side surface and the second side surface of the third lens is large, which is conducive to better convergence of light rays from the second lens and conducive to higher-energy light collection. Further, the second side surface of the third lens is set as a concave surface, and the opening angle of the second side surface of the third lens is small, which is conducive to ensuring that the light rays emitted from the second side surface of the third lens are incident on the first side surface of the fourth lens in a relatively gentle manner, thereby reducing the overall tolerance sensitivity of the optical lens.

[0089] In the example embodiment, the fourth lens can have positive refractive power, and the fourth lens can have a convex-concave surface type. The fourth lens adopts such refractive power and surface type, which is conducive to collecting light rays from the third lens and making the light ray trend smoothly transition to the rear optical system. When the material of the fourth lens is a high refractive index material, it is conducive to reducing the rear aperture of the optical lens and conducive to high-energy light collection. The fourth lens can also have a double-convex surface type with a gentle shape change, and the fourth lens adopts such refractive power and surface type, which is conducive to the smooth entry of divergent light rays into the rear optical system and further makes the light ray trend smoothly transition.

[0090] In the example embodiment, the fifth lens can have positive refractive power, and the fifth lens can have a convex-concave surface type or a double-convex surface type with a gentle shape change, which is conducive to correcting astigmatism and field curvature and conducive to the optical lens achieving high-energy light collection. When the fifth lens has a convex-concave surface type and its material is a high refractive index material, it is conducive to reducing the rear aperture of the optical lens and conducive to the optical lens achieving high-energy light collection. When the fifth lens has a double-convex surface type and its material is a high refractive index material, it is conducive to light convergence, making the divergent light rays smoothly enter the rear optical system and further making the light ray trend smoothly transition.

[0091] In an exemplary embodiment, a diaphragm for converging light rays can be disposed between the fourth lens and the fifth lens to further improve the imaging quality of the optical lens. The diaphragm disposed between the fourth lens and the fifth lens helps to effectively converge the light rays entering the optical lens, reduce the back end lens aperture of the optical lens, and reduce the assembly sensitivity of the optical lens. In the embodiments of the present application, the diaphragm can be disposed near the second side surface of the fourth lens or near the first side surface of the fifth lens. However, it should be noted that the position of the diaphragm disclosed herein is only an example and not a limitation. In alternative embodiments, the diaphragm can also be disposed at other positions as needed.

[0092] In an exemplary embodiment, the fifth lens can have at least one inflection point. The inflection of the fifth lens helps to correct the field curvature and aberration of the optical lens, and helps to lower the chief ray angle, thereby improving the sensitivity of image capture and achieving higher energy light collection.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, the total length TTL of the optical lens involved in the present application can be the distance from the center of the first side surface of the first lens to the second side surface of the optical lens on the optical axis. The back focal length BFL of the optical lens involved in the present application can be the distance from the center of the second side surface of the fifth lens to the second side surface of the optical lens on the optical axis.

[0094] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy TTL / F≤4.5, where TTL is the total length of the optical lens and F is the total effective focal length of the optical lens. The optical lens satisfying TTL / F≤4.5 can make the optical lens more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, TTL and F can further satisfy TTL / F≤4.

[0095] In an exemplary embodiment, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy 0.04≤D / H / FOV≤0.3, where D is the maximum light passing aperture of the first side surface of the first lens corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, H is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens, and FOV is the maximum field of view angle of the optical lens. The optical lens satisfying 0.04≤D / H / FOV≤0.3 is conducive to reducing the front end aperture of the optical lens and conducive to the miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, D, H, and FOV can further satisfy 0.05≤D / H / FOV≤0.2.

[0096] In exemplary embodiments, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy: 1≤D / H / tan(FOV)≤7, where D is a maximum entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, H is an image height corresponding to a maximum field of view of the optical lens, and FOV is a maximum field of view of the optical lens. The optical lens satisfying 1≤D / H / tan(FOV)≤7 is conducive to reducing the front aperture of the optical lens, and is conducive to miniaturization of the optical lens. More specifically, D, H and FOV can further satisfy: 2≤D / H / tan(FOV)≤6.

[0097] In exemplary embodiments, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy: 3≤TTL / DMAX≤4.5, where TTL is a total track length of the optical lens, and DMAX is a maximum value of a maximum half entrance pupil diameter of the first side surface of the first lens to a maximum half entrance pupil diameter of the second side surface of the fifth lens. The optical lens satisfying 3≤TTL / DMAX≤4.5 is conducive to making the optical lens more compact as a whole, and is conducive to reducing the volume of the optical lens. More specifically, TTL and DMAX can further satisfy: 3.5≤TTL / DMAX≤4.

[0098] In exemplary embodiments, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy: 1.2≤EPD / DMAX≤2, where EPD is an entrance pupil diameter of the optical lens, and DMAX is a maximum value of a maximum half entrance pupil diameter of the first side surface of the first lens to a maximum half entrance pupil diameter of the second side surface of the fifth lens.

[0115] In exemplary embodiments, the optical lens according to the present application can satisfy: BFL / TTL≥0.05. Wherein BFL is the back focal length of the optical lens, and TTL is the total length of the optical lens. The optical lens satisfying BFL / TTL≥0.05 is helpful to increase the back focal length of the optical lens and is beneficial to the assembly of the optical lens. More specifically, BFL and TTL can further satisfy: BFL / TTL≥0.08.

[0116] In the example embodiments, the first to fifth lenses can be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. For example, the first, third and fourth lenses can be spherical lenses, and the second and fifth lenses can be aspherical lenses. The second and fifth lenses being aspherical lenses is advantageous for correcting field curvature and for achieving high energy light collection. The application does not specifically limit the number of spherical lenses and aspherical lenses, and the number of aspherical lenses can be increased when the imaging quality is emphasized. In particular, to improve the resolving power of the optical system, the first, third and fourth lenses can all be aspherical lenses. An aspherical lens is characterized in that the curvature continuously changes from the center to the periphery of the lens. Unlike a spherical lens having constant curvature from the center to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics, and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and improving astigmatism aberration. By using an aspherical lens, aberration that occurs during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality of the lens.

[0117] In the example embodiments, the optical lens according to the application can further include a filter and / or protective glass disposed between the fifth lens and the imaging surface, to filter light having different wavelengths and to prevent damage to the image-side element (e.g., a chip) of the optical lens.

[0118] The optical lens according to the above-described embodiments of the application has at least one of the following beneficial effects: small size, high energy light collection, compact structure, large entrance pupil diameter, small FNO, uniform lens size, and the like, by reasonable setting of the shapes and optical powers of the lenses, while using only five lenses. In addition, compared with ordinary optical lenses, the optical lens according to the application has a back focal length and a small aperture when the FNO is 0.7. Furthermore, the ratio of the total length of the optical lens to the maximum value of the maximum semi-aperture of each lens is small, which helps the optical lens to further achieve a compact structure and small size. At the same time, the second lens in the optical lens has a low degree of curvature (e.g., an opening angle of only 50 degrees), which helps to achieve a smooth transition of light and helps to make the front end of the lens have a small aperture.

[0119] In exemplary embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the fifth lens can all be glass lenses. Optical lenses made of glass can suppress the shift of the back focal length of the optical lens with temperature changes, to improve system stability. Meanwhile, using glass material can avoid the imaging blur of the lens caused by high and low temperature changes in the use environment, affecting the normal use of the lens. For example, the optical lens with all-glass design has a wide temperature range, and can maintain stable optical performance in the range of -40°C to 105°C. Specifically, when focusing on image quality and reliability, the first lens to the fifth lens can all be glass aspherical lenses. Of course, in application occasions with low temperature stability requirements, the first lens to the fifth lens in the optical lens can also be made of plastic. Making optical lenses with plastic can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost. Of course, the first lens to the fifth lens in the optical lens can also be made of plastic and glass.

[0120] However, those skilled in the art should understand that the number of lenses constituting the lens can be changed without departing from the technical solutions claimed in the present application, to obtain the various results and advantages described in the specification. For example, although five lenses are described in the embodiments, the optical lens is not limited to including five lenses. If necessary, the optical lens can also include other numbers of lenses.
