[0060] The security monitoring industry has also experienced rapid development, and zoom monitoring lenses are playing an increasingly important role. Currently, mainstream zoom monitoring lenses with higher magnification often come with larger sizes, limiting the development of zoom systems towards higher magnification and miniaturization. Therefore, developing a high-magnification, miniaturized lens is key to solving this problem.

[0061] This invention provides an imaging device, which can be configured as a monitoring device, camera, etc. It aims to provide an imaging device with high imaging quality, high magnification, miniaturization, and wide applicability. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 9 The attached figure shows a specific embodiment of the imaging device.

[0062] Figures 1 to 9 This is an embodiment of the imaging device provided by the present invention.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3, the imaging device includes a zoom system, the zoom system having an object side and an image side disposed opposite to each other along the optical axis direction. The zoom system includes a lens barrel (not shown in the figure) and a plurality of lens groups. The lens barrel extends along the optical axis direction, and the lens groups are disposed inside the lens barrel. The plurality of lens groups includes a first lens group 1, a second lens group 2, a third lens group 3, a fourth lens group 4, and a fifth lens group 5 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side. The first lens group 1 is fixedly disposed inside the lens barrel, and the optical power of the first lens group 1 is positive; the second lens group 2 is movably disposed along the extension direction of the optical axis, and the second lens group 2 is used to zoom the zoom system from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end when moving toward the image side, and the optical power of the second lens group 2 is negative; the third lens group 3 is movably disposed along the extension direction of the optical axis, and the optical power of the third lens group 3 is positive; the fourth lens group 4 is movably disposed along the extension direction of the optical axis to focus the zoom system when moving along the optical axis direction, and the optical power of the fourth lens group 4 is positive; the fifth lens group 5 is fixedly disposed inside the lens barrel, and the optical power of the fifth lens group 5 is positive; wherein, the focal length of the zoom system at the wide-angle end is fw, the focal length of the first lens group 1 is f1, the focal length of the second lens group 2 is f2, the focal length of the third lens group 3 is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens group 4 is f4, and the focal length of the fifth lens group 5 is f5. The zoom system satisfies the following conditions:

[0064] 0.119 < fw / f1 < 0.178, and -0.906 < fw / f2 < -0.604, and 0.171 < fw / f3 < 0.257, and 0.231 < fw / f4 < 0.346, and 0.011 < fw / f5 < 0.016.

[0065] It should be noted that the second lens group 2 and the third lens group 3 are used for zooming when moving along the extension direction of the optical axis. The fourth lens group 4 is driven by an external force to move along the optical axis in correspondence with the positions of the second lens group 2 and the third lens group 3, the imaging wavelength, and the imaging object distance for focusing, so that the zoom system maintains a clear image formation on the image plane 6 during the zooming process.

[0066] It should also be noted that the second lens group 2, the third lens group 3, and the fourth lens group 4 can all be driven by an external force to move along the optical axis direction. Among them, the external force drive can be a drive motor drive or manual adjustment by a human, which is not limited here.

[0067] In the technical solution provided by this invention, the second lens group 2, the third lens group 3, and the fourth lens group 4 are movably mounted on the lens barrel along the optical axis. The second lens group 2 and the third lens group 3 are used for zooming, and the fourth lens group 4 moves in coordination along the optical axis to perform moving focus corresponding to the position, imaging wavelength, and imaging object distance of the second lens group 2 and the third lens group 3, so that the zoom system keeps the image plane 6 in sharp focus during the zooming process. The size of the image plane 6 is set to φ7.7mm, and the five lens groups are used for zooming. By rationally setting up the zoom system and conditionally limiting the focal length ratio of each lens group at the wide-angle end, a focal length (fw) of 5.59mm is achieved at the wide-angle end and a focal length (ft) of 151.10mm at the telephoto end; the aperture number at the wide-angle end reaches 1.66, and the aperture number at the telephoto end reaches 4.97. The optical distortion range is controlled between -4% and 4%, and the total optical length (TTL) of the zoom system is only 92mm. It can work stably in both day and night, and in environments with large temperature differences, thus providing an imaging device with high imaging quality, small size, high magnification, and wide application environment.

[0068] In one specific embodiment, the ratio of the focal length of the zoom system at the wide-angle end to the focal length of each lens group is as follows:

[0069] fw / f1 = 0.142; fw / f2 = -0.724; fw / f3 = 0.206; fw / f4 = 0.277; and fw / f5 = 0.013.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first lens group 1 includes a first lens 11, a second lens 12, a third lens 13, and a fourth lens 14 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side; the second lens group 2 includes a fifth lens 21, a sixth lens 22, and a seventh lens 23 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side; the third lens group 3 includes an eighth lens 31, a ninth lens 32, a tenth lens 33, an eleventh lens 34, and a twelfth lens 35 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side; the fourth lens group 4 includes a thirteenth lens 41, a fourteenth lens 42, and a fifteenth lens 43 arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side; the fifth lens group 5 includes a sixteenth lens 51. Thus, by specifically setting the above sixteen lenses, the technical parameters achievable by the present invention can be reached. Of course, it can be understood that the first lens group 1, the second lens group 2, the third lens group 3, the fourth lens group 4, and the fifth lens group 5 may also include other combination forms. Each lens group is restricted by comprehensive constraints such as the number, material, refractive index, and focal length of the lenses. Ultimately, the combination forms within the range of 0.119 < fw / f1 < 0.178, -0.906 < fw / f2 < -0.604, 0.171 < fw / f3 < 0.257, 0.231 < fw / f4 < 0.346, and 0.011 < fw / f5 < 0.016 of the zoom system in the imaging device are within the protection scope of this application.

The focal length ratios of the first lens group 1 to each of the lenses are specifically as follows: f1 / f11 = -0.436; f1 / f12 = 0.528; f1 / f13 = 0.504; f1 / f14 = 0.425.

[0074] More specifically, in this embodiment, the focal lengths of the first lens group 1 and each of the lenses are: f1 = 39.2; f11 = -89.902; f12 = 74.259; f13 = 77.827; f14 = 92.359.

[0075] Further, in order to reduce light energy loss, increase imaging clarity, protect the scale surface, and further optimize the processing flow to meet the design requirements, in this embodiment, the first lens 11 and the second lens 12 are adhesively connected to form an adhesive component, improving the image quality of the optical system.

[0076] Specifically, the fifth lens 21 has a negative optical power, the sixth lens 22 has a negative optical power, and the seventh lens 23 has a positive optical power; the focal length of the fifth lens 21 is f21, the focal length of the sixth lens 22 is f22, and the focal length of the seventh lens 23 is f23.

[0078] More specifically, in this embodiment, the fifth lens 21 is a convex-concave aspherical lens with a negative optical power, that is, the object side of the fifth lens 21 is convex and the image side is concave. The sixth lens 22 is a biconcave aspherical lens with a negative optical power. The seventh lens 23 is a biconvex spherical lens with a positive optical power; the focal length ratios of the second lens group 2 to each of the lenses are as follows:

[0079] f2 / f21 = 0.807; f2 / f22 = 0.491; f2 / f23 = -0.351.

[0080] More specifically, in this embodiment, the focal length values of the second lens group 2 and each lens in the second lens group 2 are: f2 = -7.7; f21 = -9.556; f22 = -15.706; f23 = 21.972.

[0081] Specifically, the eighth lens 31 has a positive optical power, the ninth lens 32 has a positive optical power, the tenth lens 33 has a positive optical power, the eleventh lens 34 has a negative optical power, and the twelfth lens 35 has a positive optical power; the focal length of the eighth lens 31 is f31, the focal length of the ninth lens 32 is f32, the focal length of the tenth lens 33 is f33, the focal length of the eleventh lens 34 is f34, and the focal length of the twelfth lens 35 is f35. Each lens in the third lens group 3 satisfies the following conditions:

[0082] 0.733 < f3 / f31 < 1.100, and 1.009 < f3 / f32 < 1.514, and 0.345 < f3 / f33 < 0.517, and -3.340 < f3 / f34 < -2.226, and 0.561 < f3 / f35 < 0.842.

[0083] More specifically, the eighth lens 31 is a convex-concave aspherical lens with a positive optical power, that is, the object side of the eighth lens is convex and the image side is concave. The ninth lens 32 is a biconvex spherical lens with a positive optical power, the tenth lens 33 is a biconvex spherical lens with a positive optical power, the eleventh lens is a biconcave spherical lens with a negative optical power, and the twelfth lens 35 is a convex-concave aspherical lens with a positive optical power, that is, the object side of the twelfth lens 35 is convex and the image side is concave. The focal length ratios of the third lens group 3 to each lens are as follows:

[0084] f3 / f31 = 0.880; and f3 / f32 = 1.211; and f3 / f33 = 0.414; and f3 / f34 = -2.672; and f3 / f35 = 0.674.

[0085] More specifically, in this embodiment, the focal length values of the second lens group 2 and each lens in the second lens group 2 are: f3 = 27.2; f31 = 30.889; f32 = 22.442; f33 = 65.717; f34 = -10.175; f35 = 40.354.

[0086] Further, in order to reduce light energy loss, increase imaging clarity, protect the scale surface, and further optimize the processing process to meet the design requirements, in this embodiment, the tenth lens 33 and the eleventh lens 34 are glued together to form a glued part, improving the image quality of the optical system.

[0087] Specifically, the thirteenth lens 41 has a positive optical power, the fourteenth lens 42 has a positive optical power, and the fifteenth lens 43 has a negative optical power; the focal length of the thirteenth lens 41 is f41, the focal length of the fourteenth lens 42 is f42, and the focal length of the fifteenth lens 43 is f43. The lenses in the fourth lens group 4 satisfy the following conditions:

[0088] 0.225 < f4 / f41 < 0.337, and 0.998 < f4 / f42 < 1.497, and -0.567 < f4 / f43 < -0.378.

[0089] More specifically, in this embodiment, the thirteenth lens 41 is a convex-concave spherical lens with a positive optical power, the fourteenth lens 42 is a biconvex spherical lens with a positive optical power, and the fifteenth lens 43 is a concave-convex spherical lens with a negative optical power. That is, the object side surface of the fifteenth lens 43 is concave, and the image side surface is convex; the ratio of the focal length of the fourth lens group 4 to that of each lens therein is as follows:

[0090] f4 / f41 = 0.270; f4 / f42 = 1.197; f4 / f43 = -0.454.

[0091] More specifically, in this embodiment, the focal length values of the fourth lens group 4 and each lens in the fourth lens group 4 are: f4 = 20.2; f41 = 74.794; f42 = 16.861; f43 = -44.486.

[0092] Furthermore, the fourteenth lens 42 and the fifteenth lens 43 are adhesively connected to improve the image quality of the optical system.

[0093] Specifically, the sixteenth lens 51 has a positive optical power. In one embodiment, the sixteenth lens 51 is a concave-convex spherical lens with a positive optical power. That is, the object side surface of the sixteenth lens 51 is concave, and the image side surface is convex. The focal length of the sixteenth lens 51 is f51, where f5 = f'51 = 426.4.

[0094] Furthermore, the first lens 11, the second lens 12, the third lens 13, and the fourth lens 14 are all glass spherical lenses; the fifth lens 21 and the sixth lens 22 are both glass aspherical lenses; the seventh lens 23 is a glass spherical lens; the eighth lens 31 is a glass aspherical lens; the ninth lens 32, the tenth lens 33, and the eleventh lens 34 are glass spherical lenses; the twelfth lens 35 is a glass aspherical lens; and the thirteenth lens 41, the fourteenth lens 42, and the fifteenth lens 43 are glass spherical lenses. Because glass lenses can effectively resist lens deformation due to heat, they are less prone to focus shift due to thermal expansion and contraction, thus ensuring the stability of the zoom system under temperature changes.

[0095] Because resin lenses are highly impact-resistant, lightweight, and low-cost, in this embodiment, the sixteenth lens 51 is a plastic aspherical lens. The zoom system uses a glass-plastic hybrid material, which not only saves costs and provides strong impact resistance but also ensures system stability and adaptability to high and low temperatures.

[0096] It should be noted that the characteristic of aspherical lenses is that the curvature changes continuously from the center to the periphery of the lens. Unlike spherical lenses, which have a constant curvature from the center to the periphery, aspherical lenses have better curvature radius characteristics, which has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and astigmatism. By using aspherical lenses, aberrations that occur during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, thereby improving the image quality of the lens. Furthermore, using glass lenses can reduce the impact of temperature on the optical performance of the lens.

[0097] By rationally allocating the lens power and adjusting the glass shape and material combination, chromatic aberration and secondary spectrum are effectively eliminated, and spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism and other aberrations on each lens are mutually compensated and canceled out to achieve a clear imaging effect, so as to achieve optimal correction of higher-order aberrations and chromatic aberration.

[0098] Specifically, in one embodiment, the refractive index, radius of curvature, and thickness spacing of the lens material are shown in the table below:

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aspherical surface shape of the aspherical lens satisfies the following condition:

[0102]

[0103] Where c is the curvature corresponding to the radius, y is the radial coordinate (its unit is the same as the lens length unit), k is the conic quadratic coefficient (when the k coefficient is less than -1, the surface curve is a hyperbola; when the k coefficient is equal to -1, it is a parabola; when the k coefficient is between -1 and 0, it is an ellipse; when the k coefficient is equal to 0, it is a circle; and when the k coefficient is greater than 0, it is an oval), and A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are higher-order aspherical coefficients (please refer to Table 2 below). The shape and size of the aspherical surfaces of the object side and image side of the lens can be set by using the above parameters.

[0106]

[0107] Specifically, the zoom system further includes an aperture stop 7, which is located between the second lens group 2 and the third lens group 3; that is, the aperture stop 7 is located between the seventh lens 23 and the eighth lens 31.

[0108] Specifically, in this embodiment, the zoom system further includes a filter located between the fifth lens group 5 and the image plane 6. The filter is used to filter out unnecessary wavelengths of light and stray light to reduce optical noise and reduce difficulties for subsequent photoelectric module processing. The filter can also be used to adjust the color saturation of the image during final imaging, thereby improving image quality.

[0109] Specifically, the image plane 6 can be understood as the surface of the photosensitive chip facing the object, that is, the surface of a camera element such as a CCD or CMOS. It can be understood that the light carrying the information of the object being photographed can pass through the first lens group 1, the second lens group 2, the aperture 7, the third lens group 3, the fourth lens group 4, the fifth lens group 5, and the filter in sequence and finally be imaged on the image plane 6.

[0111] Specifically, the zoom system satisfies the following conditions: -0.301 < ΔZ1W-T / TTL < -0.231, and 0.096 < ΔZ2W-T / TTL < 0.125; where ΔZ1W-T is the relative displacement of the fifth lens 21 when the zoom system is in the wide-angle position and when the zoom system is in the telephoto position, ΔZ2W-T is the relative displacement of the eighth lens 31 when the zoom system is in the wide-angle position and when the zoom system is in the telephoto position, and TTL is the total optical length of the zoom system.

[0112] Specifically, in this embodiment, the size of image plane 6 is set to φ7.7mm, achieving the following performance parameters:

[0113] The focal length at the wide-angle end is fw = 5.59mm, and the focal length at the telephoto end is ft = 151.10mm; the aperture number at the wide-angle end is f / 1.66, and the aperture number at the telephoto end is f / 4.97; the optical distortion range is between -4% and 4%; the total optical length of the zoom system is TTL = 92mm.
