Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical imaging technology, in particular to a zoom lens system and a measuring device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The light intake of an optical lens is determined by the relative aperture. The relative aperture value of a general zoom optical system at long focus is relatively small, which leads to poor imaging quality under weak light conditions and an increase in the exposure time of the system. In order to ensure that the lens can clearly image under different light conditions, the zoom lens should have a relatively large relative aperture at all focal lengths. However, as the relative aperture increases, the aberration also increases, so the imaging quality of the lens cannot be guaranteed. Most zoom lenses increase vignetting by blocking a part of the imaging light beam of the off-axis field of view, thereby reducing the aperture of the light beam participating in the imaging of the off-axis field of view to obtain better imaging quality. However, vignetting can cause the relative luminance of the zoom lens to be uneven, resulting in a phenomenon that the imaging of the off-axis field of view is darker. At the same time, in order to simplify the zoom mechanism, the position of the aperture stop is generally fixed between the compensation group and the rear fixed group of the lens, which leads to a large optical distortion of the lens at short focus.

[0003] It is difficult to find a zoom lens with excellent imaging quality in the market that meets the requirements of a large zoom ratio, a high relative luminance of the full field of view, a large relative aperture in the full focal range, and a small maximum optical distortion.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 117572612 B discloses a zoom lens system and a camera. The zoom lens system is sequentially provided with a first lens group, a second lens group, an aperture stop, a third lens group, a fourth lens group, and a photosensitive element from the object side to the image side. The relative position of the aperture stop and the third lens group is fixed, and the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group can move forward and backward along the optical axis for zooming. The focal length of the zoom lens system changes between 10.3-106.3 mm. The zoom lens system has a wide-angle end aperture F number of 1.05 and a long-focus end aperture F number of 3.5, realizing a zoom lens system with a small size and a large aperture. The patent achieves imaging at different focal lengths by moving the second lens group, the third lens group, and the fourth lens group forward and backward along the optical axis, which requires configuring corresponding motion structures for any moving lens group. At the same time, the F number changes at different focal lengths, which cannot guarantee the same quality of imaging at the long-focus end and the wide-angle end.

[0005] A zoom lens is disclosed in Chinese patent CN 106772964 B, which has an optical system including 20 spherical glass lenses and 1 diaphragm, and sequentially forms a front fixed group with positive focal power, a variable group with negative focal power, a compensation group with positive focal power, and a rear fixed group with positive focal power along the light incident direction. The zoom lens uses 20 spherical lenses, and through reasonable arrangement of the elements and selection of appropriate materials, achieves a 50 times zoom ratio of focal length from 750 mm to 15 mm, and an optical index requirement of 350 mm long focal length. The F number of the zoom lens changes in the range of 4.78-10.54, wherein the F number is 4.78 when the focal length is 15 mm, and the F number is 10.54 when the focal length is 750 mm. Similarly, the F number changes at different focal lengths, which cannot guarantee the same quality of imaging at the long focal end and the wide angle end; and the F number of the patent is large, and the relative aperture is small, which cannot guarantee excellent imaging quality.

[0077] In summary, the focal length changes from 18 mm to 180 mm, and the distance between the second lens and the aperture stop is 239.5 mm. That is, the total length of the optical zoom system is constant during the optical zooming process.

[0078] The zoom system is to move two or more lens groups in the system, so as to change the combined focal length and keep the last image plane position unchanged, so that the system obtains a continuous clear image during zooming. In order to measure the practicability of the zoom lens system described in the present application, based on the working principle of the zoom system, the motion curves of the variable magnification lens group and the compensation lens group are counted, and the cam curve of the zoom lens system is obtained. The horizontal coordinate of the cam curve is the sampling point number, and the vertical coordinate is the moving distance. As shown in Fig. 7, during the optical zooming process, the variable magnification lens group makes linear motion, and the compensation lens group makes nonlinear motion, and the motion curve of the compensation lens group is smooth, so that the system has high machinability.

2. The zoom lens system according to claim 1, characterized in that, In the aforementioned front fixed lens group, the first lens is a biconvex lens with a negative focal length, the second lens is a biconcave lens with a negative focal length, and the third lens is a biconvex lens with a positive focal length.
