The emergence of the code era has made information exchange a breeze. In the code era, technology has developed rapidly, and the demand for barcode scanning lenses has gradually increased. The barcode scanning camera must have high resolution and good adaptability to the environment.

[0003] Indoor and outdoor barcode scanning cameras recognize one-dimensional / two-dimensional codes at a limited object distance. The camera must adapt to the surrounding light, humidity, temperature, object distance changes in various environments, and keep the picture clear and highly consistent with the actual one-dimensional / two-dimensional code, and recognize accurately. The camera appears as an imaging product, and its main pursuit is excellent image quality, and it must be light in size, diversified in functions, personalized in appearance and low in price. At present, the total length of conventional barcode scanning lenses is between 6 and 12 mm, and the variety is not rich enough, resulting in a limited scope of use. Based on this, the present invention provides a new scanning lens. Summary of the invention

That is, the scanning lens provided by the present invention meets high-definition imaging, high relative illumination, shortens the total length of the lens (miniaturization), improves production efficiency, and has lower lens material costs.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] Description of relevant characteristic parameters in the present invention:

In other words, for the subject in this space, the image blurriness of the image presented on the film surface is within the limited range of the allowable confusion circle, and the length of this space is the depth of field).

[0083] The present invention provides a scanning lens, such as Figure 1 As shown, the perspective lens includes 4 lenses, and the components are arranged in the following order from the object side along the optical axis to the image side: aperture STO, first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, and fourth lens L4.

[0084] The first lens L1 is a positive lens, with a convex surface on the object side near the optical axis and a concave surface on the image side near the optical axis.

[0086] The radius of the object side surface of the first lens L1 is R(L1S1), the radius of the image side surface of the first lens L1 is R(L1S2); the core thickness of the first lens L1 is T(L1); the total optical length of the lens is TTL, and the following conditions are met:

[0098] -1.066 <f34 / f<-0.741;

[0099] 0.051 <T(L3-L4) / TTL<0.113。

[0100] Example 1

[0101] This embodiment provides a scanning lens structure such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure (shown with FNO=6), it should be noted that when FNO changes from 6 to 8, the aperture of the aperture diaphragm decreases and the amount of light passing through decreases, while the other structures of the scanning lens remain unchanged. Because the larger the FNO, the greater the depth of field, objects with a wider depth of field can be seen, and the relative brightness and high resolution are still high, ensuring the image quality.

[0102] In this embodiment, the lens data of the scanning lens are shown in the following table:

[0103]

[0104] The aspheric formula is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] Wherein, z represents the point on the aspherical surface that is h away from the optical axis, and its relative distance from the vertex tangent plane on the optical axis that is tangent to the aspherical surface, R represents the radius of curvature, h represents the distance between the point on the aspherical surface and the optical axis, k represents the cone coefficient, and Ai represents the i-th order aspherical coefficient.

[0107] The aspheric coefficients are as follows:

[0108]

[0109] The characteristic parameter values ​​of the scanning lens in this embodiment are as follows:

[0110] R(L1S1)= 0.9632 R(L3S1)= -0.9254 R(L1S2)= 10.1105 R(L3S2)= -0.9417 TTL= 4.0144 T(L1)= 0.2475 T(L3-L4)= 0.2347 f= 3.9275 f2= -7.2231 f12= 2.6281 f34= -3.3593 T(L1) / TTL= 0.0617 T(L3-L4) / TTL= 0.0585 f2 / f= -1.8391 f12 / f= 0.6692 f34 / f= -0.8553 Optical DIS(MIC)= -1.29% TV DIS= -0.69% DFOV(1.0F)= 58.88 BFL= 1.155 Material height (MIC) = 77.594 Image height (MIC) = 2.403 (FNO=6)RI(1.0F)= 65.56% (FNO=6)RI(MIC)= 64.87% (FNO=6)DOF= 78.54 (FNO=8)RI(1.0F)= 64.21% (FNO=8)RI(MIC)= 62.24% (FNO=8)DOF= 111.94

[0111] The above characteristic parameters are all within the following parameter ranges:

[0112] 0.838 <R(L1S1)<1.075;

[0113] 3.542 <R(L1S2)<60.205;

[0114] 0.051 <T(L1) / TTL<0.096;

[0115] -6.031 <f2 / f<-1.198;

[0116] 0.619 <f12 / f<0.730;

[0117] -1.098 <R(L3S1)<-0.832;

[0118] -1.133 <R(L3S2)<-0.895;

[0119] -1.066 <f34 / f<-0.741;

[0120] 0.051 <T(L3-L4) / TTL<0.113。

[0121] It can be seen that: DOF is large (FNO = 6, DOF70 or more; FNO = 8, DOF105 or more); RI (above 60%), MTF is high (such as Figure 2 As shown, the MTF (90lp / mm frequency) 0-1.0F of FNO=6 can reach more than 40%; the MTF (90lp / mm frequency) 0-1.0F of F.NO=8 can reach more than 25%), indicating that the resolution / clarity of each field of view is excellent.

[0122] It should be noted that the full name of the modulation transfer function MTF is Modulation Transfer Function. MTF comprehensively reflects the contrast and resolution characteristics of the lens. It is measured by instruments and can completely eliminate the influence of objective factors such as film and the influence of subjective factors of manual interpretation.

[0123] MTF is one of the best tools for quantifying the overall imaging performance of a system in terms of resolution and contrast. The higher the MTF value, the higher the resolution of the system, and the ability to deliver smaller details. MTF is a way to combine resolution and contrast into a single specification or rule. The MTF curve shows both resolution and contrast information, which makes it possible to evaluate a lens based on the needs of a specific application and can be used to compare the performance of multiple lenses.

[0124] Figure 2 This is the MTF performance diagram of the scanning lens of the first embodiment, where the meanings of the X and Y coordinates are: the horizontal axis represents different densities 0-90lp / mm; the vertical axis ranges from 0 to 100 and represents the lens performance percentage. The higher the MTF curve, the higher the lens MTF score and the better the performance. The higher the high-density (90lp / mm) MTF curve score, the stronger the lens' ability to observe small objects.

[0125] The meaning of solid and dotted lines: The solid line represents the MTF curve parallel to the diameter, called the sagittal curve; the dotted line represents the MTF curve perpendicular to the diameter, called the meridian curve. The closer the solid and dotted lines are, the closer the MTF performance of the lens in the meridian and sagittal directions is, and the better the lens performance is.

[0126] Different groups of solid / dashed lines represent fields of view with different image heights. An image height value of 0 represents the center of the lens. The larger the image height value, the farther the field of view is from the center, and the closer the MTF performance of each line is, which means that the consistency between the center and the edge of the lens is good.

[0127] Figure 3 This is a Ray fan diagram of the scanning lens of the first embodiment. The smaller the value, the better the imaging effect.

[0128] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the ratio of the illumination at any point of the scanning lens of the first embodiment to the maximum illumination in the field of view; the higher the value, the better the relative illumination.

The distortion and field curvature of light at any pupil in any field of view on the wavelength defined by Wave, where the field curvature diagram on the left shows the distance from the image plane to the paraxial image plane as the field of view coordinate changes; the distortion diagram on the right shows the difference between the real image height and the ideal image height in each field of view. The closer to the center, the better the imaging effect.

The lens parameters, aspheric coefficients, characteristic parameters and corresponding technical effects are further introduced.

[0132] In this embodiment, the lens data of the scanning lens are shown in the following table:

[0133]

[0134]

[0135] The aspheric coefficients are as follows:

[0136]

[0137]

[0138] The characteristic parameter values ​​of the scanning lens in this embodiment are as follows:

[0139] R(L1S1)= 0.8415 R(L3S1)= -1.0979 R(L1S2)= 3.5422 R(L3S2)= -0.9822 TTL= 4.1353 T(L1)= 0.2135 T(L3-L4)= 0.3187 f= 4.0222 f2= -5.2340 f12= 2.9351 f34= -3.9715 T(L1) / TTL= 0.0516 T(L3-L4) / TTL= 0.0771 f2 / f= -1.3013 f12 / f= 0.7297 f34 / f= -0.9874 Optical DIS(MIC)= -0.71% TV DIS= -0.33% DFOV(1.0F)= 57.36 BFL= 1.077 Material height (MIC) = 75.117 Image height (MIC) = 2.419 (FNO=6)RI(1.0F)= 63.31% (FNO=6)RI(MIC)= 61.78% (FNO=6)DOF= 74.26 (FNO=8)RI(1.0F)= 63.30% (FNO=8)RI(MIC)= 61.16% (FNO=8)DOF= 105.12

[0140] The above characteristic parameters are all within the parameter range described above.

[0141] It can be seen that: DOF is large (FNO = 6, DOF70 or more; FNO = 8, DOF105 or more); RI (above 60%), MTF is high (such as Figure 7 As shown, the MTF (90lp / mm frequency) 0-1.0F of FNO=6 can reach more than 40%; the MTF (90lp / mm frequency) 0-1.0F of F.NO=8 can reach more than 25%), indicating that the resolution / clarity of each field of view is excellent.
