[0044] Currently, conference video cameras require a 16:9 chip with an HFOV of 110° or higher, and distortion below 5%, achieving 4K HD quality. There are several similar video cameras on the market, each with some compromises. There are two main types: one with a horizontal angle of 100-105° and TV distortion below 5%, and one with a horizontal angle of 110° or higher and TV distortion of 7% to 10%. Some cameras may compromise both, and it's generally impossible to achieve all three simultaneously.

[0045] In view of this, the present invention proposes an optical system that aims to solve the technical problem that existing video lenses cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of a large horizontal viewing angle, high imaging resolution, and low distortion level. The optical system is adapted for use with a 16:9 chip. The optical system has an object side and an image side disposed opposite each other along the optical axis. The optical system includes a first lens 1 with negative optical power, a second lens 2 with negative optical power, a third lens 3 with negative optical power, a fourth lens 4 with positive optical power, an aperture 8, a fifth lens 5 with positive optical power, a sixth lens 6 with negative optical power, and a seventh lens 7 with positive optical power, a protective sheet, and a photosensitive chip 11. The optical focal length of the optical system is FA, and the imaging height of the optical system is IH, satisfying the following relationship:

[0046] 0.2≤FA / IH≤0.35.

[0047] The technical solution of the present invention makes the HFOV of the optical system no less than 110° through corresponding design of each lens, and the imaging viewing angle is large, which can provide a wider field of view; the resolution reaches 4K, ensuring the imaging quality; the distortion is small, and the TV distortion is less than 3%, which has a better picture effect and avoids the need for distortion correction in the back-end engineering.

[0048] By setting the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 with negative optical power, the astigmatism and field curvature of large-angle light can be corrected, so that the light entering the rear group has a smaller angle and residual aberration; the third lens 3 corrects distortion and dispersion, so that the system has small distortion; the fourth lens 4 can increase the height of the light entering the rear group, so that the system has a larger aperture; the aperture 8 limits the aperture of the on-axis light beam and blocks part of the light during the zooming process, reducing the light spot, improving the image contrast, and helping to improve the image quality; the fifth lens 5 and the sixth lens 6 can correct the chromatic aberration of the system, so that the aberration of the system can be adapted to the video system; the seventh lens 7 can correct the residual spherical aberration of the system and further correct the distortion of the system, so that high-quality imaging is obtained on the photosensitive chip 11, and the third lens 3, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6 and the seventh lens 7 form focal length compensation, so that the entire system has no thermal focus deviation phenomenon.

[0049] Furthermore, a protective sheet is provided between the photosensitive chip 11 and the seventh lens. The protective sheet is made of transparent glass and can isolate and protect the photosensitive chip 11. In this embodiment, the protective sheet includes a first protective sheet 9 and a second protective sheet 10. The second protective sheet 10 is a glass sheet provided by the photosensitive chip 11. The first protective sheet 9 is provided on the side of the second protective sheet 10 facing the magnifying end to further improve the protection of the image source.

[0050] Furthermore, the first lens 1 is a meniscus lens, the second lens 2 is a meniscus lens, the third lens 3 is a biconcave lens, the fourth lens 4 is a biconvex lens, the fifth lens 5 is a biconvex lens, the sixth lens 6 is a biconcave lens, and the seventh lens 7 is a biconvex lens; wherein the concave surfaces of the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 face backwards.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 is configured as a plastic lens. Plastic lenses have strong impact resistance, are lightweight, and are low in cost. In addition, plastic lenses have better light transmittance.

[0052] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the second lens 2 , the third lens 3 , the fifth lens 5 , the sixth lens 6 and the seventh lens 7 may also be glass lenses.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 are aspheric lenses. The use of plastic aspheric lenses effectively controls costs and effectively corrects lens chromatic aberration, achieving infrared confocality while ensuring control of lens purple fringing. Spherical aberration and sine aberration at high magnification positions are also corrected.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first lens 1 is a glass lens or a plastic lens. A glass lens has a higher transmittance. A plastic lens ensures the transmittance of the first lens 1 and has a strong impact resistance, effectively protecting other lenses located behind it. And / or, the fourth lens 4 is a glass lens. The fourth lens 4 is a glass lens to ensure that the optical system can produce clear images in environments with high temperatures below 80°C and low temperatures above -40°C.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive index of the fourth lens 4 is nd4, and the Abbe number is vd4, which satisfies the following relationship:

[0056] 1.84≤nd4≤2.01, and / or, 19≤vd4≤40.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive index of the third lens 3 is nd3, and the Abbe number is vd3, which satisfies the following relationship:

[0058] 1.6≤nd3≤1.75, and / or, 19≤vd3≤25.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive index of the second lens 2, the fifth lens 5, and the seventh lens 7 are all nd257, and the Abbe number of the second lens 2, the fifth lens 5, and the seventh lens 7 are all vd257, satisfying the following relationship:

[0060] 1.45≤nd257≤1.6, and / or, 50≤vd257≤60.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present invention, the focal length of the first lens 1 is φ1, -19<φ1<-15mm; and / or the focal length of the second lens 2 is φ2, -3.5<φ2<-6mm; and / or the focal length of the third lens 3 is φ3, -14<φ3<-10mm; and / or the focal length of the fourth lens 4 is φ4, 3<φ4<6mm; and / or the focal length of the fifth lens 5 is φ5, 1<φ5<5mm; and / or the focal length of the sixth lens 6 is φ6, -1<φ6<-5mm; and / or the focal length of the seventh lens 7 is φ7, 2<φ7<6mm.
