Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of optical components, and more specifically, to an endoscope adapter lens. Background Technology
[0002] Endoscope adapter lenses, also known as bayonet lenses, are used to work with endoscopes and connect to camera devices to transmit images detected by the endoscope to the camera device, making it easier for users to observe.
[0003] When using an endoscope, images at a single magnification are often insufficient to meet user needs. Therefore, a zoomable adapter is required to provide images at different magnifications for user observation.
[0004] Currently used endoscope adapter lenses generally have the following drawbacks: 1) During the zoom process, the image is blurred because the focus is adjusted first and then the compensation is adjusted. 2) When the object distance changes, the position of the conjugate image changes accordingly. In order to make the conjugate image position consistent, existing adapter lenses refocus by moving the compensation group. The movement of the compensation group changes the original magnification, and the imaging range changes accordingly.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an endoscope adapter lens with independent focusing and zooming functions, so that the image remains clear during zooming after focusing at different object distances. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.
[0040] An endoscope adapter lens according to an exemplary embodiment of this application may include three lens groups with optical power: a first lens group with positive optical power, a second lens group with negative optical power, and a third lens group with positive optical power. These three lens groups are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. When the object distance changes, all three lens groups move along the optical axis. The first lens group is the focusing group; when the object distance changes, the position of the conjugate image changes accordingly. The first lens group moves along the optical axis to adjust the focus, ensuring the conjugate image is at the same position without changing the magnification, thus ensuring imaging stability. The second lens group is the zoom group; it can move along the optical axis between the object side and the image side to enable continuous zooming between the wide-angle and telephoto ends of the endoscope adapter lens. The third lens group is the compensation group; it compensates for defocusing caused by the movement of the zoom group during zooming, ensuring real-time image clarity. That is, the third lens group moves along the optical axis in a manner corresponding to the movement of the second lens group to compensate for changes in the image plane position during zooming.
[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the position of the second lens group along the optical axis is adjustable; that is, the second lens group can move from the image side to the object side or from the object side to the image side along the optical axis to enable continuous zooming of the endoscope adapter lens. Specifically, by changing the position of the second lens group on the optical axis, the endoscope adapter lens can be switched from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end or from a telephoto end to a wide-angle end, thereby enabling continuous zooming of the endoscope adapter lens.
[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the position of the third lens group along the optical axis is adjustable. For example, the third lens group can move along the optical axis in a manner corresponding to the movement of the second lens group to achieve a compensation effect, so that the imaging position of the endoscope adapter lens remains unchanged during the zoom process and the image formed is always clear.
[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the second lens group and the third lens group form a linked combination to realize the zoom function of the system; that is, the second lens group moves to zoom and the third lens group moves to compensate, which are performed simultaneously to ensure that the image remains clear throughout the zoom process.
[0044] The focusing and zooming functions of the endoscope adapter lens provided in this application can be performed independently. After focusing the endoscope adapter lens at different object distances, clear imaging can be maintained throughout the zooming process. When this lens is used with an endoscope, it facilitates handheld use during the surgical procedure.
[0045] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the first lens group has three lenses with optical power, and the first lens group includes, in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a first lens with negative optical power, a second lens with positive optical power, and a third lens with positive optical power.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the object-side and image-side surfaces of the first lens are both concave; the image-side surface of the second lens is convex; and the object-side surface of the third lens is convex. As the first lens of the first lens group, the first lens has negative optical power, and both its object-side and image-side surfaces are concave. By setting the first lens in this shape, under the premise of meeting certain field of view and image height requirements, the light path is made smooth, which can effectively correct aberrations and reduce the system tolerance sensitivity.
[0047] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the second lens group has three lenses with optical power, and the second lens group includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a fourth lens with negative optical power, a fifth lens with positive optical power, and a sixth lens with negative optical power.
[0048] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the object-side and image-side surfaces of the fourth lens are both concave; the object-side surface of the fifth lens is concave, and the image-side surface is convex; the object-side surface of the sixth lens is concave. As the first two lenses of the second lens group, the fourth lens has negative optical power, with both the object-side and image-side surfaces concave, while the fifth lens has positive optical power, with both the object-side and image-side surfaces concave. Setting the fourth and fifth lenses in this shape helps to smoothly transition the light passing through the first lens group to the second lens group, reducing tolerance sensitivity and correcting various aberrations in the system.
[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can form a cemented doublet lens, which is beneficial for field curvature correction and for reducing the defocus of the infrared spectrum relative to the visible spectrum, thereby realizing the infrared confocal function of the lens.
[0050] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the number of lenses with optical power in the third lens group is nine. The third lens group includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a seventh lens with positive optical power; an eighth lens with positive optical power; a ninth lens with negative optical power; a tenth lens with positive optical power; an eleventh lens with negative optical power; a twelfth lens with positive optical power; a thirteenth lens with negative optical power; a fourteenth lens with negative optical power; and a fifteenth lens with positive optical power.
[0051] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the object-side and image-side surfaces of the seventh lens are both convex; the object-side and image-side surfaces of the eighth lens are both convex; the object-side surface of the ninth lens is concave; the image-side surface of the eleventh lens is concave; the object-side and image-side surfaces of the twelfth lens are both convex; the object-side surface of the thirteenth lens is concave and the image-side surface is convex; the object-side surface of the fourteenth lens is concave; and the image-side surface of the fifteenth lens is convex. The seventh lens has positive optical power, a convex object-side surface, and a convex image-side surface; the eighth lens has positive optical power, a convex object-side surface, and a convex image-side surface; and the fifteenth lens has positive optical power and a convex image-side surface. The object-side surface can be either convex or concave. Reasonably setting the position, optical power, and shape of these three lenses helps to meet certain field of view angles and image heights, while also correcting system aberrations, reducing tolerance sensitivity, and improving resolution.
[0052] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the eighth lens and the ninth lens can form a cemented doublet lens, which is beneficial to reduce the system tolerance sensitivity.
[0053] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the eleventh lens, the twelfth lens, and the thirteenth lens can form a cemented triplet lens, which is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration and reducing system tolerance sensitivity.
[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the fourteenth lens and the fifteenth lens can form a cemented doublet lens, which is beneficial to reduce the system tolerance sensitivity.
[0055] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application further includes an aperture stop disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group. The aperture stop helps to concentrate the light entering the lens, reduce the rear aperture of the lens, and decrease the assembly sensitivity of the system. In an embodiment of this application, the aperture stop may be disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens. However, it should be noted that the position of the aperture stop disclosed herein is merely an example and not a limitation; in alternative embodiments, the aperture stop may be disposed in other positions as needed.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application further includes a front protective glass disposed on the object side of the first lens and a rear protective glass disposed on the image side of the fifteenth lens. The protective glass provides waterproof, dustproof, and scratch-proof protection.
[0057] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies the following condition: 1.45 ≤ |φ2| / φ3 ≤ 1.60, where φ2 is the optical power of the second lens group and φ3 is the optical power of the third lens group. Satisfying 1.45 ≤ |φ2| / φ3 ≤ 1.60 ensures that the optical power of the second and third lens groups is within a reasonable range, enabling stable zooming from 14mm to 32mm. Furthermore, it ensures a linear correlation between the zoom and compensation curves, resulting in consistently clear image quality throughout the zooming process without blurring. When this lens is applied to an endoscope, it improves the reliability of the endoscope during surgical procedures.
[0058] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, when the object distance of the endoscope adapter lens is infinity, the first lens group is located at a first position on the optical axis; when the object distance of the endoscope adapter lens is 300mm, the first lens group is located at a second position on the optical axis, and can satisfy: 8.50≤f1 / (d inf -d near )≤11.80, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group, (d inf -d near () is the distance between the first and second positions on the optical axis. It satisfies 8.50 ≤ f1 / (d) inf -d near With a focal length ≤ 11.80, when the object distance changes, the movement of the first lens group can adjust the corresponding conjugate image distance, ensuring that the image is focused on the same image plane, thus achieving focusing functionality, maintaining image plane stability, and providing clear imaging. When this lens is applied to an endoscope, it facilitates real-time focusing and imaging of different spatial locations during surgery.
[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 0.35≤(f2+f3) / f w ≤0.45, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and f w This is the total effective focal length of the endoscope's adapter lens when it is at the wide-angle end. It satisfies 0.35 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f w A focal length of ≤0.45 is beneficial for the second and third lens groups to achieve a minimum focal length of 14mm during linkage, while ensuring a linear correlation between zoom and compensation, and maintaining real-time clarity in imaging throughout the entire process.
[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application can satisfy: 0.15≤(f2+f3) / f t ≤0.20, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and f tThis is the total effective focal length of the endoscope's adapter lens when it is at the telephoto end. It satisfies 0.15 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f t A value of ≤0.20 is beneficial for the second and third lens groups to achieve a maximum focal length of 32mm during linkage, while ensuring a linear correlation between zoom and compensation, and maintaining real-time clarity in imaging throughout the entire process.
[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 0.35≤S / f1≤0.53, where S is the entrance pupil distance of the endoscope adapter lens (i.e., the distance between the image formed by the aperture stop through the first lens group and the positioning surface), and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group. The aperture stop is located behind the first lens group, and the image formed by the aperture stop through the first lens group is the entrance pupil of the optical imaging system. The positioning surface is located on the object side of the first lens, more specifically, at a position 3mm on the object side of the front protective glass of the endoscope adapter lens. Satisfying 0.35≤S / f1≤0.53 is beneficial for the first lens group to maintain a small range of change in the entrance pupil position while focusing at different object distances, enabling it to adapt to more front-end endoscope main lenses.
[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: -1.28 ≤ f2 / Z2 ≤ -1.00, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, and Z2 is the distance the second lens group moves along the optical axis. Satisfying -1.28 ≤ f2 / Z2 ≤ -1.00 indicates that the second lens group is a zoom group, capable of achieving the lens's preset zoom range within a shorter axial movement distance, making the lens compact, lightweight, and convenient for handheld use. Specifically, Z2 is the axial distance between the position of the second lens group on the optical axis at the wide-angle end and the position of the second lens group on the optical axis at the telephoto end of the endoscope adapter lens.
[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 0.51≤f3 / Z3≤0.62, where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and Z3 is the distance the third lens group moves along the optical axis. Satisfying 0.51≤f3 / Z3≤0.62, the third lens group is a compensation group corresponding to the second lens group, which can satisfy the zoom range compensation function within a shorter axial movement distance, ensuring clear imaging while making the lens compact and lightweight, convenient for handheld use. Specifically, Z3 is the axial distance between the position of the third lens group on the optical axis at the wide-angle end and the position of the third lens group on the optical axis at the telephoto end of the endoscope adapter lens.
[0064] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application further includes a positioning surface disposed on the object side of the first lens. More specifically, the positioning surface is located 3mm from the object side of the front protective glass of the endoscope adapter lens, and satisfies: 0.21≤BFL / TTL≤0.26, where BFL is the distance from the image side of the fifteenth lens to the imaging surface of the endoscope adapter lens, and TTL is the axial distance from the positioning surface to the imaging surface of the endoscope adapter lens. Satisfying 0.21≤BFL / TTL≤0.26 allows for the accommodation of the lower filter and the rear protective glass; it satisfies the requirements of both the C-interface and the CS-interface via an adapter ring; it also shortens the overall length of the lens, making the lens compact, lightweight, and convenient for handheld use.
[0065] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 0.18≤EPD / f1≤0.20, where EPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the endoscope adapter lens, and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group. Satisfying 0.18≤EPD / f1≤0.20, the image formed by the aperture stop through the first lens group is the entrance pupil of the optical imaging system. The first lens group enables focusing at different object distances while ensuring that the system's entrance pupil diameter is always greater than a fixed value, allowing sufficient light to enter the system for imaging and improving the brightness and clarity of the image.
[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: -1.90≤L7_R1 / L7_R2≤-0.70, where L7_R1 is the radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the seventh lens, and L7_R2 is the radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the seventh lens. By satisfying -1.90≤L7_R1 / L7_R2≤-0.70, the seventh lens, with a biconvex shape and a certain range of optical power, is placed at the foremost end of the third lens group, receiving light from the second lens group, reducing the height of the light rays, and decreasing the incident angle of the light rays. This is beneficial for correcting aberrations and reducing tolerance sensitivity.
[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 2.40≤Vd6 / Vd5≤2.81, where Vd5 is the Abbe number of the fifth lens and Vd6 is the Abbe number of the sixth lens. The fifth and sixth lenses satisfying 2.40≤Vd6 / Vd5≤2.81 is beneficial for both field curvature correction and reducing the defocusing of the infrared spectrum relative to the visible spectrum, thus achieving the infrared confocal function of the lens.
[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 2.50 ≤ Vd12 / Vd11 ≤ 3.20, where Vd11 is the Abbe number of the eleventh lens and Vd12 is the Abbe number of the twelfth lens. The eleventh and twelfth lenses satisfying 2.50 ≤ Vd12 / Vd11 ≤ 3.20 is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in the visible spectrum, reducing secondary spectral density, and lowering tolerance sensitivity.
[0069] In an exemplary embodiment of this application, the endoscope adapter lens according to this application satisfies: 2.40 ≤ Vd12 / Vd13 ≤ 3.18, where Vd12 is the Abbe number of the twelfth lens and Vd13 is the Abbe number of the thirteenth lens. The twelfth and thirteenth lenses satisfying 2.40 ≤ Vd12 / Vd13 ≤ 3.18 is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in the visible spectrum, reducing secondary spectral density, and lowering tolerance sensitivity.
[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, the first to fifteenth lenses can be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. This application does not specifically limit the number of spherical and aspherical lenses; when image quality is paramount, the number of aspherical lenses can be increased, and even all lenses can be aspherical. Aspherical lenses are characterized by a continuously changing curvature from the lens center to the periphery. Unlike spherical lenses, which have a constant curvature from the lens center to the periphery, aspherical lenses have better radius of curvature characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion and astigmatism. Using aspherical lenses can minimize aberrations that occur during imaging, thereby improving the lens's image quality. Optionally, the object-side and image-side surfaces of the first to fifteenth lenses are spherical mirror surfaces.
[0071] The endoscope adapter lens of this application has excellent resolution, with a resolution of 4K or higher.
[0072] The endoscope adapter lens of this application is characterized by its small size and short overall length. The distance TTL between the object side surface and the imaging surface of the first lens on the optical axis satisfies: TTL≤70mm, which makes the endoscope adapter lens have a small overall length, meets the miniaturization feature, and maximizes performance in the smallest possible volume.
[0073] The endoscope adapter lens of this application has a wide focusing distance range, and can ensure clear focus from 0.3m to infinity throughout the zoom range, resulting in good imaging effect.
[0074] The endoscope adapter lens of this application can achieve infrared confocal focusing, and its design ensures imaging performance in the infrared band. Combined with the use of infrared supplementary lighting, the lens can be used in nighttime scenes and the field of endoscopy.

[0094] Table 1
[0095] In Embodiment 1 and the following embodiments, when the object distance changes, the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 all move along the optical axis. Focusing is achieved by moving the first lens group G1 along the optical axis, ensuring the conjugate image is positioned at the same location without changing the magnification, thus guaranteeing imaging stability. By changing the position of the second lens group G2 on the optical axis, the endoscope adapter lens can be switched from wide-angle to telephoto or vice versa, making the total effective focal length of the endoscope adapter lens continuously variable. Simultaneously, adjusting the position of the third lens group G3 on the optical axis ensures that the image plane of the endoscope adapter lens remains clearly focused during zooming.
