A first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, an aperture 4, a fourth lens 5, a fifth lens 6, and a sixth lens 7 are arranged sequentially along the optical axis. Through the cooperation of the front lens module and the rear lens module, this embodiment has a wider angle and a wider field of view. Regardless of whether it is daytime or a low-light environment, there is no need to make any switching, and the imaging resolution is good. This can reduce the difficulty of the algorithm software and improve its accuracy.
[0030] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first lens 1, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 5, and the fifth lens 6 are all glass lenses, and the second lens 2 and the sixth lens 7 are both plastic aspherical lenses. This ensures that the focal length of the optical lens module in this embodiment satisfies 2.05mm ≤ f ≤ 2.43mm, and the aperture (F / NO) satisfies 2.00 ≤ aperture (F / NO) ≤ 2.35. Therefore, this embodiment, while possessing a wide angle and a wide field of view, can also achieve day and night co-focusing. In daylight and low-light environments, this embodiment does not require any switching and can still achieve clear shooting. In this embodiment, the preferred focal length f (EFL) of the optical lens module is 2.20mm, the aperture (F / NO) is 2.20, the operating temperature is -40℃ to +85℃, and the image plane is 6.40mm.

[0038] And the spacing between each lens satisfies the following:
[0039] The distance CV1 between the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 is: 1.35mm≤CV1≤1.71mm;
[0040] The distance CV2 between the second lens 2 and the third lens 3 is: 0.37mm≤CV3≤0.76mm;

[0042] The fourth lens 5 and the fifth lens 6 are cemented together;
[0043] The spacing CV4 between the fifth lens 6 and the sixth lens 7 is: 0.01mm≤CV4≤0.28mm.
[0044] Furthermore, the intervals CV1 and CV2 satisfy the following condition: 2.4 ≤ CV1 / CV2 ≤ 3.55.
[0045] The refractive indices of the lenses in this embodiment are as follows:
[0046] The refractive index Nd1 of the first lens 1 is: 1.70≤Nd1≤1.86;
[0047] The refractive index Nd2 of the second lens 2 is: 1.48≤Nd2≤1.57;
[0048] The refractive index Nd3 of the third lens 3 is: 1.68≤Nd3≤1.88;

[0051] The refractive index Nd6 of the sixth lens 7 is: 1.48≤Nd6≤1.58.
[0052] Each lens in this embodiment has a high refractive index and light transmittance, which can effectively improve the optical performance of the lens, thereby obtaining a wider angle and a wider field of view. Regardless of daytime or low-light conditions, it has good imaging resolution without any switching, which can reduce the difficulty of the algorithm software, improve its accuracy, and thus better detect the situation of people inside the vehicle, reducing the probability of safety accidents.
