[0064] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0065] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this invention are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this invention. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when referring to an element being formed "upper" or "lower" of another element, it can be formed not only directly "upper" or "lower" of the other element, but also indirectly "upper" or "lower" of the other element through an intermediate element. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0066] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a zoom lens at the wide-angle end, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 1The zoom lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first lens group 10 with negative optical power and a second lens group 20 with positive optical power arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The focal length of the zoom lens can be changed by changing the position of the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20 on the optical axis. The first lens group 10 includes a first lens 101, a second lens 102 and a third lens 103 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The second lens group 20 includes a fourth lens 201, a fifth lens 202, a sixth lens 203 and a seventh lens 204 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The first lens 101 has negative optical power, the second lens 102 has negative optical power, the third lens 103 has positive optical power, the fourth lens 201 has positive optical power, the fifth lens 202 has positive optical power, the sixth lens 203 has negative optical power, and the seventh lens 204 has positive optical power.

[0067] It is understandable that optical power is the reciprocal of focal length and characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of optical power, the stronger the ability to bend light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the ability to bend light. When optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. In this embodiment, the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20 can be disposed in a single lens barrel (…). Figure 1 Within (not shown), the movement of the first lens group 10 and the second lens group 20 achieves the change of the lens focal length. By setting the optical power relationship of each lens, the total effective focal length of the zoom lens can be continuously zoomed within the range of 3mm to 6mm.

[0068] Among them, zoom lenses are located at the wide-angle end when the focal length is shortest and at the telephoto end when the focal length is longest. At the wide-angle end and the telephoto end, zoom lenses have different focal lengths and optical powers, as well as different lengths or shapes.

[0069] The technical solution of this embodiment uses the movement of the first and second lens groups along the optical axis to switch the zoom lens between the wide-angle and telephoto ends. The total effective focal length of the zoom lens is continuously zoomed within the range of 3mm to 6mm. By rationally designing the structure of each lens and the optical power matching relationship, the zoom lens achieves a high-performance, compact day and night confocal zoom lens under a 1 / 2.7-inch CMOS sensor. Specifically, it uses 7 lenses, a relatively small number, which helps to reduce the lens size. By rationally matching the various lens groups and the optical power of each lens, aberration balance can be effectively achieved at each focal length, ensuring image clarity at different focal lengths. This results in high image quality within a short overall length limit, reducing cost and weight.

[0070] Optionally, the first lens 101 is a convex-concave glass spherical lens, the second lens 102 is a biconcave plastic aspherical lens, the third lens 103 is a convex-concave or biconvex plastic aspherical lens, the fourth lens 201 is a biconvex glass spherical lens, the fifth lens 202 is a biconvex plastic aspherical lens, the sixth lens 203 is a biconcave plastic aspherical lens, and the seventh lens 204 is a biconvex or convex-concave plastic aspherical lens.

[0071] By setting the second lens 102, third lens 103, fifth lens 202, sixth lens 203, and seventh lens 204 as aspherical lenses, higher-order aberrations can be effectively corrected. Furthermore, since the cost of forming aspherical lenses from plastic is far lower than that from glass, using plastic aspherical lenses can also reduce the cost of zoom lenses.

[0072] The surface profile of an aspherical lens satisfies the formula:

[0073]

[0074] Where Z represents the sag of the aspherical surface, c represents the fundamental curvature at the vertex, k represents the conic section constant, r represents the radial coordinate perpendicular to the optical axis, and a i a is the coefficient of the higher-order term. i r 2i For aspherical surfaces, the term is of higher order.

[0075] Furthermore, glass lenses have a strong ability to deflect light. By setting the first lens 101 and the fourth lens 201 as glass spherical lenses, it is helpful to reduce the number of lenses, thereby reducing the size of the lens.

[0076] At the same time, the two materials, glass and plastic, can compensate for each other, balancing high and low temperatures, which makes the zoom lens have stable performance at high and low temperatures and helps to improve the environmental adaptability of the zoom lens.

[0077] The plastic aspherical lens can be made of various plastics known to those skilled in the art, and the glass spherical lens can be made of various types of glass known to those skilled in the art. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the material used.

[0078] In addition, by reasonably setting the shape of each lens, the optical power requirements of the above embodiments can be met, while ensuring that the entire zoom lens structure is compact and highly integrated.

[0079] Optionally, the optical power of the first lens 101 to the seventh lens 204 satisfies:

[0080]

[0081]

[0083]

[0084]

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] in, and These represent the optical power of the first lens 101 to the seventh lens 204, respectively. This indicates the optical power of the first lens group 10. This indicates the optical power of the second lens group 20.

[0088] Optionally, the refractive index and dispersion coefficient of the third lens 103 to the seventh lens 204 satisfy the following:

[0089] 1.497≤n3≤1.710; 17.0≤v3≤20.8;

[0090] 1.400≤n4≤1.730;53.4≤v4≤96.0;

[0091] 1.402≤n5≤1.702;42.1≤v5≤60.0;

[0092] 1.498≤n6≤1.710; 17.0≤v6≤36.7;

[0093] 1.425≤n7≤1.710; 17.0≤v7≤60.0;

[0094] Wherein, n3, n4, n5, n6 and n7 represent the refractive indices of the third lens 103 to the seventh lens 204 in sequence, and v3, v4, v5, v6 and v7 represent the Abbe numbers of the third lens 103 to the seventh lens 204 in sequence.

[0095] By comprehensively setting parameters such as the optical power, refractive index, and Abbe number of each lens, the imaging effect of the zoom lens can be improved.

[0096] To ensure the zoom lens has sufficient magnification and sharp focus, optionally, the displacement G1_L of the first lens group 10 from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the displacement G2_L of the second lens group 20 from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, and the total lens length TTL_W of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfy the following:

[0097] 0.13≤G1_L / TTL_W≤0.25;

[0098] 0.07≤G2_L / TTL_W≤0.19.

[0099] To enable zoom lenses to have a larger imaging target surface, ensuring better image quality and sharper images, the image plane diameter IC of the zoom lens can optionally satisfy the following conditions with respect to the focal length F_W at the wide-angle end:

[0100] F_W / IC≤0.51.

[0101] To ensure sufficient mounting space for the imaging sensor, optionally, the back focal length BFL_W of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end and the total lens length TTL_W of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfy the following:

[0102] BFL_W / TTL_W≥0.10.

[0103] To avoid an excessively large aperture for the zoom lens and to meet the installation space requirements of the final product, optionally, the diameter D1 of the first lens 101 and the total length TTL_W of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfy the following:

[0104] D1 / TTL_W<0.58.

[0105] To ensure that zoom lenses can achieve both high image quality and a high zoom ratio, the optical power at the wide-angle end of the zoom lens can be adjusted. And the optical power at the telephoto end satisfy:

[0106]

[0107] Optionally, the zoom lens also includes an aperture stop 30; the aperture stop 30 is located between the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 201. By adding the aperture stop 30, edge light can be blocked, which helps to improve image quality.

[0108] Continue to refer to Figure 1 The zoom lens also includes a flat glass plate 40, which is disposed on the image-side side of the seventh lens 204. By placing a flat glass plate 40 of a certain thickness between the seventh lens 204 and the image plane, it serves a protective function while also filtering out unwanted stray light, thereby improving the image quality of the zoom lens. For example, the flat glass plate 40 can filter out infrared light during the day to improve the image quality of the zoom lens.
