Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent relates to the field of fisheye lenses, and more specifically, to a reflex fisheye lens. Background Technology

[0002] A reflex lens, also known as a reflective lens or telephoto lens, is a special type of super telephoto lens. In a typical photographic lens, light enters through the first group of lens elements and reaches the film directly. Lenses with focal lengths of 300mm-500mm or even 1000mm become very large and heavy, making them extremely inconvenient to use. A reflex lens utilizes the principle of light reflection, so that light does not reach the film directly after passing through the first group of lens elements, but is reflected before reaching the film. This allows for effective control over the lens length. However, existing reflex lenses generally have poor image quality and a narrow field of view. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a reflex fisheye lens, which can solve the technical problems of poor imaging effect and small field of view of existing reflex lenses.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to represent selected embodiments of the invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] The first lens has positive optical power, with a convex object side and a concave image side;

[0049] The second lens has positive optical power, with a convex object side and a concave image side.

[0050] The third lens has negative optical power, and both the object side and the image side are concave.

[0051] The fourth and fifth lenses are isosceles right-angle reflecting prisms, and the reflecting surfaces of the fourth and fifth lenses are cemented together to form a prism group.

[0052] The sixth lens has positive optical power, and both the object-side and image-side surfaces are convex.

[0053] The seventh lens has positive optical power, and both the object-side and image-side surfaces are convex.

[0054] The eighth lens has negative optical power, and both the object-side and image-side surfaces are concave.

[0056] The first lens, the second lens, and the third lens are the front group lenses, and the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens are the rear group lenses. The third lens, the sixth lens, and the ninth lens are plastic aspherical lenses, and the first lens, the second lens, the seventh lens, and the eighth lens are glass spherical lenses. The design that combines four glass spherical lenses and three plastic aspherical lenses can better improve the imaging quality and also enhance the relative illumination well. At the same time, the first lens uses a glass material with high hardness and wear resistance, which can well meet the use in outdoor environments with high temperature, high humidity, friction, etc., and has good imaging quality under the conditions of -40°C to 105°C.

[0057] Preferably, the following conditional expressions are satisfied: f1 < |30|, f2 < |20|, f3 < |60|, f4 > |0|, f5 > |0|, f6 < |20|, f7 < |80|, f8 < |20|, f9 < |30|, where f1, f2, f3, f, f5, f6, f7, f8, and f9 are the focal lengths of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens, respectively.

[0058] Preferably, the following conditional expressions are satisfied: 3 < |f1 / f| < 8, 3 < |f2 / f| < 15, 5 < |f3 / f| < 25, 2 < |f6 / f| < 5, 7 < |f7 / f| < 35, 1.9 < |f8 / f| < 2.5, 4 < |f9 / f| < 8, where f1, f2, f3, f6, f7, f8, and f9 are the focal lengths of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens, respectively, and f is the focal length of the fisheye lens. Controlling the ratio between the focal length of the lens and the focal length of the lens helps to correct aberrations and improve the imaging quality.

Among them, the first lens and the second lens use high-refractive-index glass, which can make the light of the large wide angle deflect gently through the system, the lens bending will not be剧烈, and it can also correct the large wide angle aberrations such as coma and astigmatism.

[0060] Preferably, the following conditional expressions are satisfied: 20 < vd1 < 50, 45 < vd2 < 60, 19 < vd3 < 60, 50 < vd6 < 60, 55 < vd7 < 80, 20 < vd8 < 50, 50 < vd9 < 60, and vd1 + vd2 + vd3 < 135; where vd1, vd2, vd3, vd6, vd7, vd8, and vd9 are the Abbe numbers of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the sixth lens, the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens, respectively. Among them, the fourth lens and the sixth lens use high Abbe number materials to correct longitudinal chromatic aberration.

[0061] Preferably, the following conditional expression is satisfied: 5.0 ≤ TTL / AAG, where TTL is the overall length of the fisheye lens, and AAG is the sum of three air gaps on the optical axis between the first lens and the fourth lens. Controlling the air gaps between the front group of lenses and the air gap between the front group of lenses and the fourth lens can effectively shorten the volume of the lens, making its installation and use more convenient.

[0062] Preferably, the following conditional expression is satisfied: ALT < 14.55, ALT = CT1 + CT2 + CT3 + CT4, where CT1, CT2, CT3, and CT4 are the central thicknesses of the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens, respectively.

[0063] Preferably, the following conditional expression is satisfied: TTL / F < 18.5, where TTL is the overall length of the fisheye lens, and F is the size of the clear aperture of the fisheye lens.
