[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine vision, and in particular to an industrial lens for multi-object distance inner wall detection. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of the automation industry, machine vision has achieved rapid growth. The application fields of industrial lenses are becoming more and more extensive, and the market demand for the image quality of lenses is also getting higher and higher. Using fewer cameras to photograph every side of an object is a common requirement in the current machine vision market, and it is necessary to have good imaging effects at different working object distances.

[0003] Multi-distance internal wall inspection industrial lenses are used to simultaneously image the bottom and inner side of objects with holes, especially for the inspection of cylindrical or perforated objects such as medicine bottles, bottle caps, nuts, and mechanical parts. However, most industrial lenses on the market can hardly fully present the inner wall of the hole of the object being tested through a single shot, and their imaging effect varies greatly under different working distances. Therefore, a multi-distance internal wall inspection industrial lens is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The first lens group A includes a first lens G1, a second lens G2, a third lens G3, a fourth lens G4, a fifth lens G5, a sixth lens G6, a seventh lens G7, and an eighth lens G8 arranged sequentially. The third lens G3, the fourth lens G4, and the fifth lens G5 form a cemented triplet lens U1, and the seventh lens G7 and the eighth lens G8 form a first cemented doublet lens U2. The second lens group B includes a ninth lens G9, a tenth lens G10, and an eleventh lens G11 arranged sequentially. The tenth lens G10 and the eleventh lens G11 form a second cemented doublet lens U3. The third lens group... C includes a twelfth lens G12 and a thirteenth lens G13 arranged sequentially. The twelfth lens G12 and the thirteenth lens G13 form a third cemented doublet lens U4. The fourth group of lenses D includes a fourteenth lens G14 and a fifteenth lens G15 arranged sequentially. The first lens G1, the second lens G2, the ninth lens G9, the tenth lens G10, the thirteenth lens G13 and the fourteenth lens G14 have positive optical power and a meniscus. The fifth lens G5, the sixth lens G6 and the seventh lens G7 have positive optical power and a biconvex structure. The fourth lens G4 and the eighth lens G8 have negative optical power and a biconcave structure. The third lens G3, the eleventh lens G11, the twelfth lens G12 and the fifteenth lens G15 have negative optical power and a meniscus. The third lens G3 and the fourth lens G4 have negative optical power and a biconcave structure.

[0027] The air gap between the first lens G1 and the second lens G2 is 0.1 mm, the air gap between the second lens G2 and the third lens G3 is 0.1 mm. The third lens G3, the fourth lens G4 and the fifth lens G5 form a triple cemented lens U1. The air gap between the fifth lens G5 and the sixth lens G6 is 0.2 mm, the air gap between the sixth lens G6 and the seventh lens G7 is 0.22 mm. The seventh lens G7 and the eighth lens G8 form a first doublet lens U2.

By reasonably distributing the optical power of the optical system according to the above ratio, the aberrations of the optical system in the wavelength range of 400 - 700 nm are reasonably corrected and balanced.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, by adopting the floating focusing technology in group D, the chromatic aberration can be greatly reduced from near to far distances, making the imaging effect consistent. By reasonably distributing the focal lengths of each lens, the depth of field of the imaging system is large and the clarity is high. Through the optical system composed of the above lenses, the inner wall of the hole of the measured object can be completely presented only by single shooting, reducing costs and improving the detection efficiency. The optical back focus of the lens is large, and it can be used in cooperation with cameras with various interfaces.

[0031] The parameters of each lens are shown in the following table:

[0032]
