[0039] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0041] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a fixed-focus lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the fixed-focus lens includes a first lens 101, a second lens 102, a third lens 103, a fourth lens 104, a fifth lens 105, a sixth lens 106, a seventh lens 107, an eighth lens 108, and a ninth lens 109 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The surface of the lens adjacent to the object plane is the object-side surface, and the surface of the lens adjacent to the image plane is the image-side surface. The first lens 101, second lens 102, fourth lens 104, sixth lens 106, and eighth lens 108 are all negative power lenses, while the third lens 103, fifth lens 105, seventh lens 107, and ninth lens 109 are all positive power lenses. The object-side surface of the first lens 101 convexes towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the first lens 101 convexes towards the object plane. The object-side surface of the second lens 102... The image-side surface of the second lens 102 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the third lens 103 is convex towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the third lens 103 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the fourth lens 104 is concave towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the fourth lens 104 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the fifth lens 105 is concave towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the fifth lens 105 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the sixth lens 106 is convex towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the sixth lens 106 is convex towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the seventh lens 107 is convex towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the seventh lens 107 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the eighth lens 108 is concave towards the object plane, and the image-side surface of the eighth lens 108 is concave towards the object plane; the image-side surface of the ninth lens 109 is convex towards the object plane.

[0042] For example, optical power is equal to the difference between the image-side beam convergence and the object-side beam convergence, characterizing the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of the optical power, the stronger the bending ability of light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the bending ability. When the optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when the optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. Optical power can be used to characterize a single refractive surface of a lens (i.e., one surface of the lens), a single lens, or a system formed by multiple lenses (i.e., a lens group). In the fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment, each lens can be fixed to a single lens barrel (…). Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) Inside the lens, the first lens 101 and the second lens 102 are both negative power lenses, ensuring that the light has a larger aperture before entering the aperture stop 10, thus increasing the lens aperture. The third lens 103, the fourth lens 104, and the fifth lens 105 work together to ensure that the light passes smoothly through the aperture stop 10. The aperture stop 10 is located between the second lens 102 and the third lens 103, avoiding stray light such as reflections at the aperture stop 10 position. At the same time, it can adjust the lens aberrations to a certain extent, ensuring the lens aberration balance and stable high and low temperature performance. Furthermore, the sixth lens 106 and the seventh lens 107, made of materials with different Abbe numbers, can effectively correct chromatic aberration of light passing through the aperture 10, ensuring a clear image at a 1 / 1.8″ aperture. The fourth lens 104, sixth lens 106, and eighth lens 108 are all negative power lenses, which, together with the positive power third lens 103, fifth lens 105, seventh lens 107, and ninth lens 109, form a positive-negative lens combination, effectively eliminating spherical aberration and higher-order aberrations. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the eighth lens 108 and ninth lens 109, residual higher-order aberrations and spherical aberrations can be minimized, increasing the lens aperture while improving image quality to meet the requirements of various applications. For example, as... Figure 1 As shown, by rationally setting the surface shape of each lens, the entire fixed-focus lens structure can be kept compact and the integration of the fixed-focus lens can be ensured.

[0043] In summary, by rationally setting the number of lenses, the surface shape of the lenses, and the relative optical power of each lens in a prime lens, the balance of the incident angles of the front and rear lens groups can be ensured under low cost, reducing lens sensitivity, increasing production feasibility, ensuring high resolution of the prime lens in environments ranging from -40 to 80°C, improving image quality, meeting the requirements of high-definition image quality, and expanding the lens's applicability.

[0044] Optionally, the fifth lens 105 has a refractive index of N5 and an Abbe number of V5; where: 1.43 <N5<1.90,40<V5<94。

[0045] Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in a medium, primarily used to describe a material's ability to refract light; different materials have different refractive indices. Abbe number is an index used to represent the dispersion ability of a transparent medium; the more severe the dispersion, the smaller the Abbe number; conversely, the less severe the dispersion, the larger the Abbe number. The fifth lens 105 uses glass, which balances the lens's resolving power under high and low temperatures, and the use of a glass material with a high Abbe number also helps to avert chromatic aberration, preventing excessive chromatic aberration at the rear of the lens from being difficult to correct. Thus, by rationally setting the refractive index and Abbe number of each lens in a fixed-focus lens, it is beneficial to achieve miniaturization of the fixed-focus lens design; at the same time, it is beneficial to achieve higher pixel resolution and a larger aperture.

[0046] Optionally, the first lens 101, the second lens 102, the third lens 103, the fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 106, the seventh lens 107, the eighth lens 108, and the ninth lens 109 are all plastic aspherical lenses, and the fifth lens 105 is a glass spherical lens. 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 elaborate on or limit the specific materials used. Since the cost of plastic lenses is much lower than that of glass lenses, in the fixed-focus lens provided by this embodiment of the invention, glass and plastic materials can compensate for each other. Using a combination of glass and plastic lenses in the lens can better balance the lens's resolution under high and low temperature conditions. At the same time, using a suitable combination of glass lenses also has a good corrective effect on lens aberrations. Using the above materials can ensure good lens resolution within the range of -40 to 80°C. In addition, the use of glass lenses can correct chromatic aberration of the lens to a great extent. The use of the above-mentioned glass lenses can ensure good resolution under the stated temperature conditions, thus expanding the range of applications of the lens.

[0047] Optionally, the focal length of the first lens 101 is f1, the focal length of the second lens 102 is f2, and the focal length of the optical system is f, where -5.20 < (f1 + f2) / f < -4.70. By appropriately setting the ratio of the focal lengths of the first lens 101 and the second lens 102 to the focal length of the fixed-focus lens, the overall length of the lens can be reduced. This also facilitates aberration correction at very large apertures, ensuring high resolution for the fixed-focus lens. Furthermore, both the first lens 101 and the second lens 102 use plastic aspherical lenses. The combination of the optical power of the first lens 101 and the second lens 102 ensures that the aperture is maximized before light enters the aperture 10, increasing the amount of light entering the optical system at the aperture 10. This allows the optical system to form a clear image even in low-light conditions, expanding the lens's applicable environment.

[0048] Optionally, the focal length of the third lens 103 is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens 104 is f4, the focal length of the fifth lens 105 is f5, the focal length of the sixth lens 106 is f6, the focal length of the seventh lens 107 is f7, the focal length of the eighth lens 108 is f8, and the focal length of the ninth lens 109 is f9. The focal length of the optical system is f, where: 2.65 <f3 / f<3.14;-44.58<f4 / f<-8.55;2.19≤f5 / f≤4.04;-4.55<f6 / f<-2.99;1.52<f7 / f<1.73;-2.03<f8 / f<-1.78;1.46<f9 / f<1.56。

[0049] Among them, the third lens 103, the seventh lens 107, and the ninth lens 109 all use plastic aspherical lenses. When light passes through the aperture stop 10 and enters the third lens 103, the seventh lens 107, and the ninth lens 109, the focal lengths of each lens are within this range, which allows the light to converge. This avoids excessive pressure on the other lenses during the correction of chromatic aberration, aberrations, and CRA, preventing them from developing shapes that are difficult to process. In addition, the use of aspherical lenses makes it easier to correct the aforementioned aberrations. The fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 106, and the eighth lens 108 all use plastic aspherical lenses. The reasonable setting of the focal lengths of each lens plays a role in eliminating spherical aberration and higher aberrations. The focal length setting of the fifth lens 105 allows light to pass through the lens more smoothly, greatly correcting the impact of higher aberrations of the lens on image quality. The eighth lens 108 can eliminate higher aberrations and residual spherical aberration that were not eliminated at the front end. Meanwhile, the ninth lens 109 can keep the angle of the principal ray within a suitable range, and can also adjust the height of the intersection point between the principal ray of the maximum field of view and the image plane at the end of the optical system, adapting to a variety of chips, and saving lens costs on the other hand.

[0050] Optionally, the distance from the center of the optical axis on the object side of the first lens 101 to the image plane is TTL, and the lens diameter of the first lens 101 is ΦL1, where: 0.43 < ΦL1 / TTL < 0.45. These conditions effectively control the lens size, allowing for a more compact lens while maximizing the field of view and light intake, thus meeting the demands of more demanding applications.

[0051] Optionally, the aperture number of the fixed-focus lens is F, where 1.0 ≤ F ≤ 1.2. The fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention is a large-aperture fixed-focus lens, which meets the requirements of ultra-high data transmission and is suitable for use in more situations.

[0052] Continue to refer to Figure 1 Optionally, the fixed-focus lens also includes an aperture stop 10; the aperture stop 10 is located in the optical path between the second lens 102 and the third lens 103.

[0053] By placing the aperture stop 10 in the optical path between the second lens 102 and the third lens 103, the propagation direction of the light beam can be adjusted, and the incident angle of the light can be adjusted, which is beneficial to improving the imaging quality.

[0054] Furthermore, the fixed-focus lens is also provided with a flat glass 110; the flat glass 110 is located on the image side of the ninth lens 109, and serves to protect the lens and the photosensitive chip in the imaging sensor. The imaging chip is used to convert the light signals collected by the fixed-focus lens into electrical signals, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the fixed-focus lens.

[0055] The following describes in further detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, specific embodiments of a fixed-focus lens applicable to the above-described embodiments.

The aperture stop 10 is located in the optical path between the second lens 102 and the third lens 103. Table 1 shows the surface shape, radius of curvature, thickness, refractive index, and Abbe number of each lens in the fixed-focus lens provided in Embodiment 1, wherein the units for radius of curvature and thickness are millimeters (mm).

[0059]

[0060]

[0061] The surface numbers in Table 1 are assigned according to the surface sequence of each lens. "S1" represents the object side of the first lens 101, "S2" represents the image side of the first lens 101, and so on. "STO" represents the aperture stop 10 of the lens. The radius of curvature represents the curvature of the corresponding lens surface. A positive value indicates that the surface bends towards the image side, and a negative value indicates that the surface bends towards the object side. "INF" indicates that the surface is flat and the radius of curvature is infinite. The thickness represents the central axial distance between the current surface and the next surface. The refractive index represents the ability of the material between the current surface and the next surface to deflect light. A blank space indicates that the current position is air and the refractive index is 1. The Abbe number represents the dispersion characteristics of the material between the current surface and the next surface. A blank space indicates that the current position is air.

[0062] The conicity coefficients of aspherical surfaces can be defined using the following aspherical formulas, but are not limited to the following representations:

[0063]

[0064] Where Z is the axial distance from the vertex of the surface at a position perpendicular to the optical axis at a height r; k is the conic coefficient; c represents the curvature at the vertex of the aspherical surface; a4, a6, a8, a 10 a 12 a 14 a 16 For the higher-order aspheric coefficients corresponding to the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth orders of aspheric surfaces, a4r 16 These can be combined to form higher-order terms for the corresponding aspherical surfaces.

[0065] For example, Table 2 details the aspherical coefficients of each lens in this embodiment one of feasible implementations.

[0069] Where 1.2340957852E-03 indicates that the coefficient a4 of face number 1 is 1.2340957852 * 10 -3 .

[0070] The fixed-focus lens in this embodiment achieves the following technical specifications: the focal length f is 3.99996mm and the aperture F is 1.08001.

[0071] Figure 2 This is an axial aberration curve diagram of a fixed-focus lens provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the vertical direction represents the normalized aperture, with 0 indicating the optical axis, and the vertical vertex representing the maximum pupil radius; the horizontal direction represents the offset relative to the ideal focal point, in millimeters (mm). Different linear curves in the figure represent different wavelengths of system imaging, determined by... Figure 2 It can be seen that the axial aberrations of the normalized apertures of different wavelengths (0.436μm, 0.486μm, 0.546μm, 0.588μm and 0.656μm) from 0 to 1.0 are all controlled within the range of (-0.02mm, +0.02mm), indicating that the spherical aberration of the optical system is well controlled at each wavelength; it can meet the requirements of broadband applications.

[0072] Figure 3 The ray fan pattern of a fixed-focus lens provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is as follows: Figure 3As shown, in a single image, the horizontal axis represents the normalized beam aperture, and the vertical axis represents the transverse aberration. Ideally, each curve should perfectly coincide with the horizontal axis, in which case all rays in that field of view focus at the same point on the image plane; the vertical axis in a single image can also represent the maximum dispersion range of the beam on the ideal image plane. The fan plot can not only reflect monochromatic aberrations of different wavelengths but also the magnitude of transverse chromatic aberration. Figure 3 It can be seen that this optical system closely approximates the horizontal axis at all wavelengths (0.436μm, 0.486μm, 0.546μm, 0.588μm, and 0.656μm) across all fields of view, indicating that the transverse aberrations at each wavelength are well corrected. Furthermore, the curves for each color do not show significant dispersion, indicating that this optical system also effectively corrects chromatic aberration, ensuring the imaging requirement of sharp images across the entire wavelength range.

[0073] Figure 4 This is a chromatic aberration curve of a fixed-focus lens provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 As shown, the vertical direction represents the normalized aperture, 0 indicates it is on the optical axis, and the vertex in the perpendicular direction represents the maximum pupil radius; the dominant wavelength is 546.074 nm, and the horizontal direction represents the offset relative to the dominant wavelength, in micrometers (µm). Figure 4 It can be seen that the transverse chromatic aberration of different wavelengths is controlled within a reasonable range, indicating that the transverse chromatic aberration of this fixed-focus lens is well controlled and can meet the requirements of wide-spectrum applications across the entire wavelength range.
