TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of endoscopes, in particular to an endoscope optical system and an endoscope. BACKGROUND
[0002] An endoscope is an important device for medical examination and surgery, and is widely used in the fields of gastroscopes, bronchoscopes and cystoscopes. The development trend of modern endoscope technology is to provide higher resolution, wider field of view and higher magnification images, so that doctors can accurately observe subtle lesions or complex anatomical structures. However, the traditional endoscope optical system has some problems in the adjustment of magnification and the maintenance of image quality, which brings great inconvenience to the operation of doctors, as follows:
[0003] If the observation of subtle lesions is realized by relying on electronic magnification, this method inevitably loses image quality and has loss of clarity and details.
[0004] If the adjustment of magnification is realized by adjusting the distance between the entire optical system and the imaging object (object distance), as the magnification increases, the object distance will correspondingly decrease, which increases the complexity of operation and makes it difficult to ensure the convenience of use and the consistency of imaging quality. Moreover, due to the limited moving range of the lens group, this design has limitations in the magnification range, imaging quality and system aplanatic characteristics.
[0005] In addition, during the adjustment of the object distance to adjust the magnification, imaging jitter or loss of field of view, and focus drift may also occur, which requires re-focusing (i.e. secondary focusing), which will lead to a decrease in operation efficiency and increase the burden of the user on the system operation.
[0006] Therefore, the current endoscope still needs to be improved, which limits the development and popularization of high-resolution medical imaging technology of endoscopes. SUMMARY

[0055] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the specific embodiments shown in the drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present application, and the structural, method, or functional changes made by those of ordinary skill in the art based on these embodiments are included in the protection scope of the present application.
[0056] It should be understood that the terms such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", and the like used herein to indicate spatial relative positions are for the purpose of facilitating description to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the drawings. The spatial relative position terms can be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.
[0057] An embodiment of the present application provides an endoscope optical system and an endoscope which do not need to adjust the object distance during the magnification process, improve the operation efficiency, and reduce the operation burden of doctors.
[0058] An endoscope optical system according to an embodiment of the present application includes a first fixed lens group, a first movable lens group, a second movable lens group, and a second fixed lens group arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the entrance surface to the image surface. The arrangement is compact, the optical path layout is optimized, and the actual application requirements of the endoscope are met.
[0059] The first fixed lens group is located at the front end of the optical system and is used to preliminarily converge the incident light reflected from the imaged object. The first fixed lens group is designed to have a positive refractive power to provide a preliminary convergence effect for the entire system.
[0060] The first movable lens group is designed as a movable concave lens group with a negative refractive power. By changing the relative position between the first movable lens group and other lens groups, the overall focal length of the optical system is adjusted, thereby realizing the adjustment of the magnification.
[0061] The second movable lens group is a movable convex lens group designed to have a positive refractive power. It is used to compensate for the change of the focal point caused by the movement of the first movable lens group, so as to ensure that the light is always accurately focused on the image surface.
[0062] The second fixed lens group is used to further converge and correct the light rays, and finally focus them to the image plane to provide a clear high-resolution image output.
[0063] During the adjustment of the magnification, the relative positions of the imaging object, the first fixed lens group, the second fixed lens group, and the image plane remain constant, and the first moving lens group and the second moving lens group are synchronously and reversely moved to compensate for the change in the optical path during zooming, so that the imaging focus is stable during continuous adjustment of the magnification, and the total optical path length of the optical system remains constant.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 1, when the first moving lens group moves toward the image side to increase the magnification of the system, the second moving lens group simultaneously moves toward the object side to compensate for the change in the optical path and maintain the total optical path length of the system constant. Figure 3 The total optical path length of the optical system includes the object distance + the image distance + the lens group spacing within the optical system, and the sum of D0, D1, …, D12 below is the total optical path length of the optical system. The constant total optical path length means that during continuous adjustment of the magnification of the endoscope optical system, the distance of the endoscope optical system to the object side is unchanged, the imaging distance is unchanged, and only the movement of the lenses within the endoscope optical system occurs, thereby maintaining the focal position of the imaging plane unchanged.
[0065] The distance and rate of synchronous and reverse movement are precisely designed and optimized to ensure that the total optical path in the light ray propagation path is unchanged, thereby realizing the parfocal characteristic. The parfocal characteristic enables the system to adjust the magnification without the need for secondary focusing, and the imaging focus is always stable on the image plane, greatly improving the use efficiency and the continuity of the image. The complexity of operation caused by adjusting the object distance in the traditional endoscope is eliminated, and the use burden of the doctor is reduced.
[0066] The endoscope optical system of the embodiment supports continuous adjustment of the magnification, and the magnification adjustment range can reach 1:6. In the wide-angle mode (lower magnification), the doctor can quickly complete a large range of lesion screening while maintaining the high resolution and low distortion characteristics of the imaging. In the detail observation mode (higher magnification), the system provides a clear local image of the lesion through optical magnification to help the doctor observe the subtle anatomical structure or lesion characteristics. The continuously adjustable magnification improves the diagnosis efficiency, enabling the doctor to quickly adapt to different observation needs, avoids the loss of image quality caused by electronic magnification, and improves the accuracy of diagnosis.
[0067] The endoscope optical system of the embodiment is designed for the visible light wavelength band of 415 nm to 675 nm, providing the doctor with clearer and more accurate lesion observation images, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
[0068] The endoscope optical system of the embodiment is designed for the visible light wavelength band of 415 nm to 675 nm, providing the doctor with clearer and more accurate lesion observation images, reducing the risk of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
[0069] The endoscope optical system of the embodiment takes an innovative lens group design and movement mechanism as the core, not only meets the needs of high resolution, high magnification and parfocal characteristics of medical endoscopes, but also significantly improves the operation convenience and diagnosis efficiency of doctors, providing reliable technical support for the popularization and application of optical magnification endoscopes in the medical field.
[0070] The first fixed lens group has positive refractive power, the first moving lens group has negative refractive power, the second moving lens group has positive refractive power, and the second fixed lens group has positive refractive power.
[0071] The first fixed lens group preliminarily converges light from the object through positive refractive power, so that the light has higher optical efficiency when entering the first moving lens group. The first moving lens group has negative refractive power, and adjusts the optical path dynamically by diverging light, thereby adjusting the system focal length and providing a basis for subsequent magnification changes. The second moving lens group converges light through positive refractive power, compensates for the change of the optical path when the first moving lens group moves, and ensures the stability of the focal point. The positive refractive power of the second fixed lens group further converges light, accurately focuses it on the image plane, and completes high-resolution imaging. In this way, the endoscope optical system of the embodiment can maintain imaging quality in a larger magnification range, while ensuring the stability of the optical path, and provides doctors with clear and distortion-free images.
[0072] Further, the endoscope optical system further comprises a third fixed lens group arranged between the first moving lens group and the second moving lens group, and the third fixed lens group has negative refractive power.
[0073] When the first moving lens group adjusts the focal length, the third fixed lens group can compensate for the optical distortion that may be caused by the change of the optical path, so that the subsequent lens group can efficiently converge light to the image plane. In addition, the third fixed lens group can also help to expand the magnification range, which is especially effective in high magnification observation mode, ensuring the uniformity of light distribution during detail imaging, further optimizing the optical performance of the system, and improving the imaging stability and clarity. Especially in the process of dynamically adjusting the magnification, it can effectively eliminate the imaging error in the high magnification mode.
[0074] Further, the focal length of the lens satisfies the following conditions:
[0075] The focal length fa of the first fixed lens group: 4mm < fa < 8mm;
[0076] The focal length fb of the first moving lens group: -7.0mm < fb < -6.5mm;
[0077] The focal length fc of the third fixed lens group: -7.8mm < fc < -7.3mm;
[0078] The focal length fd of the second mobile lens group: 5.2mm < fd < 5.7mm;
[0079] The focal length fe of the second fixed lens group: 2mm < fe < 5mm.
[0080] The endoscope optical system with the above-mentioned focal length range ensures that the system can maintain high-resolution imaging during continuous adjustment of the magnification, while reducing the aberration and distortion problems in dynamic magnification. Whether in large-scale screening or subtle lesion observation, the system can quickly adapt and provide consistent high-quality images.
[0081] The design of the specific values of the present embodiment is based on the following specifications: field of view angle: 120°, effective F number: 8.0, focal length: 0.99mm, zoom ratio 1:6, image height: 0.97mm.
[0082] The specific dimensions of the endoscope optical system will be described below in combination with Figure 1 , 2 , and the specific numerical values corresponding to the symbols in Table 1.
[0083] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and 2 , the first fixed lens group comprises:
[0084] The first single lens L1 is a plano-concave lens, and the focal length f1 is -1.5mm < f1 < -1.0mm. The thickness of the first single lens L1 is CT1. The front surface of the first single lens L1 is a plane, and the rear surface has a radius R2. In addition, the design surface of the endoscope optical system is located in front of the center of the front surface of the first single lens L1 with a distance D0.
[0085] The first filter F1 is an afocal single lens, which does not change the optical path characteristics of the optical system, and can filter unnecessary spectrum to improve image contrast and quality. The thickness of the first filter F1 is CTF1, and the first filter F1 follows the first single lens L1 with an air gap D1. The front and rear surfaces R3 and R4 of the first filter F1 are planes.
[0086] The second single lens L2 is an aspheric lens, and the focal length f2 is 3.2mm < f2 < 4.2mm. The second single lens L2 corrects the aberration in the initial optical path, significantly reduces the spherical aberration and other high-order aberration problems of the system through the surface curvature and optimized design. The thickness of the second single lens L2 is CT2, and the second single lens L2 follows the first filter F1 with an air gap D2. The front surface radius R5 of the second single lens L2 is an aspheric surface, and the rear surface has a radius R6, a conic coefficient k, and high-order coefficients A4, A6, and A8.
[0087] The third doublet lens L3 is a biconvex lens with a focal length f3: 11.2mm < f3 < 12.2mm, and a thickness CT3 of the third doublet lens L3 is followed by the second single lens L2 with an air gap D3.
[0088] The third doublet lens L3 comprises:
[0089] The first lens L3.1 is a meniscus lens with a thickness CT3.1, a focal length f3.1: -0.79 < f3.1 / f3 < -0.74, a front surface radius R7 and a back surface radius R8.
[0090] The second lens L3.2 is a biconvex lens with a thickness CT3.2, a focal length f3.2: 0.42 < f3.2 / f3 < 0.48, a front surface radius R9 and a back surface radius R10.
[0091] The combined design of the first lens L3.1 and the second lens L3.2 optimizes the converging effect of the initial light rays while reducing chromatic aberration in the optical path.
[0092] The first fixed lens group provides a clear initial imaging path for the entire optical system, ensuring the imaging quality before magnification adjustment.
[0093] As shown in Table 1, the first moving lens group comprises: Figure 1 、 2 and Table 1, the fourth doublet lens L4 is a biconcave lens with a thickness CT4, a focal length f4: -7.0mm < f4 < -6.5mm, and the fourth doublet lens L4 is followed by the third doublet lens L3 with an air gap D4, the fourth doublet lens L4 comprises:
[0094] The first lens L4.1 is a meniscus lens with a thickness CT4.1, a focal length f4.1: -1.27 < f4.1 / f4 < -1.21, a front surface radius R11 and a back surface radius R12. The negative refractive power of the first lens L4.1 performs preliminary dynamic adjustment on the optical path through divergence, and the ratio of the design focal length f4.1 to the focal length f4 of the entire lens group is precisely optimized to ensure that the system does not introduce additional aberrations during dynamic adjustment of the optical path.
[0095] The second lens L4.2 is a biconcave lens with a thickness CT4.2, a focal length f4.2: 3.81 < f4.2 / f4 < 3.87, a front surface radius R13 and a back surface radius R14. The second lens L4.2 enhances the flexibility of dynamic adjustment, and through its divergent characteristics of light rays, it expands the magnification range of the system.
[0096] The stop STOP is followed by the fourth doublet lens L4 with an air gap D5.
[0097] As shown in Table 1, the first moving lens group comprises: Figure 1 ,2 and Table 1, the third fixed lens group includes: a fifth single lens L5, which is a double-concave lens, has a focal length f5: -7.8mm < f5 < -7.3mm, and a thickness CT5 of the fifth single lens L5 is spaced apart from a stop STOP by an air gap D6, and the fifth single lens L5 has a front surface R15 and a rear surface R16. The third fixed lens group is arranged between the first moving lens group and the second moving lens group, and compensates and balances the dynamic optical path by using the negative refractive power. The double-concave lens structure of the fifth single lens L5 can adjust the ratio of converging light and diverging light, so as to ensure that the system does not introduce obvious distortion when adjusting the magnification, effectively reduces the aberration and field distortion caused by dynamic magnification during detail observation in the high magnification mode, and at the same time maintains the overall imaging clarity of the system.
[0098] As Figure 1 , 2 and Table 1, the second moving lens group includes:
[0099] A sixth double cemented lens L6, which is a double-convex lens, has a focal length f6: 5.2mm < f6 < 5.7mm, and a thickness CT6 of the sixth double cemented lens L6 is spaced apart from the fifth single lens L5 by an air gap D7, and the sixth double cemented lens L6 includes:
[0100] A first lens L6.1, which is a double-convex lens, has a focal length f6.1: 0.46 < f6.1 / f6 < 0.52, a front surface radius R17 and a rear surface radius R18. The positive refractive power of the first lens L6.1 preliminarily adjusts the convergence of the optical path, and the focal length range and design ratio thereof are matched with the optical parameters of the entire lens group, so as to realize stable convergence of light rays during dynamic magnification.
[0101] A second lens L6.2, which is a meniscus lens, has a focal length f6.2: -1.06 < f6.2 / f6 < -1.01, a front surface radius R19 and a rear surface radius R20. The negative refractive power of the second lens L6.2 compensates and balances the converging effect of the first lens L6.1, and reduces the problems of aberration and high-order optical distortion.
[0102] The first moving lens group functions to change the focusing mode of light rays by dispersing the light rays. During zooming, the fourth double cemented lens L4 acts as a focusing lens, which is responsible for adjusting the focal position of imaging by changing the focal length. Because a concave lens scatters light rays, it is usually used to change the relationship between the object distance and the imaging distance, so as to realize magnification or reduction. The purpose of focusing is to keep the focal point of the system on the photosensitive surface of the sensor at all times, so as to ensure image clarity. The imaging position is adjusted by changing the focal length.
[0103] The second moving lens group is responsible for adjusting the overall imaging effect of the system by compensation when the fourth doublet lens L4 changes the focal length, ensuring the stability of the focal point position and avoiding image blur caused by the focusing of the fourth doublet lens L4. The compensation process of the sixth doublet lens L6, which is a biconvex lens, offsets the focal length change caused by the fourth doublet lens L4, so that the focal point does not shift during the entire zooming process, thereby realizing the parfocal state.
[0104] The synchronous reverse movement of the first moving lens group and the second moving lens group keeps the optical path length constant during dynamic adjustment of the magnification, ensuring the parfocal characteristic, and provides higher imaging resolution and clarity through optical optimization.
[0105] Continuing as shown in Figure 1 、 2 and Table 1, the second fixed lens group includes:
[0106] The seventh doublet lens L7 is a meniscus lens with a focal length f7: -15.4mm < f7 < -14.4mm, and the thickness CT7 of the seventh doublet lens L7 is followed by the sixth doublet lens L6 with an air gap D8. The seventh doublet lens L7 can reduce the divergence offset of light, and the seventh doublet lens L7 includes:
[0107] The first lens L7.1 has a thickness CT7.1 and is a biconvex lens with a focal length f7.1: -0.26 < f7.1 / f7 < -0.20, a front surface radius R21 and a back surface radius R22.
[0108] The second lens L7.2 has a thickness CT7.2 and is a biconcave lens with a focal length f7.2: 0.18 < f7.2 / f7 < 0.22, a front surface radius R23 and a back surface radius R24.
[0109] The eighth doublet lens L8 is a biconvex lens with a focal length f8: 3.9mm < f8 < 4.5mm, and the eighth doublet lens L8 realizes imaging distortion correction at high magnification. The thickness CT8 of the eighth doublet lens L8 is followed by the seventh doublet lens L7 with an air gap D9, and the eighth doublet lens L8 includes:
[0110] The first lens L8.1 has a thickness CT8.1 and is a biconvex lens with a focal length f8.1: 0.51 < f8.1 / f8 < 0.56, a front surface radius R25 and a back surface radius R26.
[0111] The second lens L8.2 has a thickness CT8.2 and is a meniscus lens with a focal length f8.2: -1.38 < f8.2 / f8 < -1.33, a front surface radius R27 and a back surface radius R28.
[0112] A ninth doublet lens L9, which is a double convex lens, has a focal length f9: 6.8mm < f9 < 7.3mm, and supports high resolution imaging, and a thickness CT9 of the ninth doublet lens L9 is spaced apart from the eighth doublet lens L8 by an air gap D10, and the ninth doublet lens L9 includes:
[0113] A first lens L9.1 has a thickness CT9.1, is a double convex lens, has a focal length f9.1: 0.36 < f9.1 / f9 < 0.40, and has a front surface that is an aspheric surface, a conic constant k, and higher order coefficients A4, A6, A8, and a back surface radius R30.
[0114] A second lens L9.2 has a thickness CT9.2, is a meniscus lens, has a focal length f9.2: -0.49 < f9.2 / f9 < -0.45, and has a front surface radius R31 and a back surface radius R32.
