DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present application provides a vehicle-mounted optical imaging system, which is composed of a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens in sequence from the object plane to the image plane along the optical axis; The first lens has a negative optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side is concave; The second lens has an optical power; The third lens has an optical power; The fourth lens has a positive optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side is convex; The fifth lens has an optical power, its object side is convex, and its image side is convex; The sixth lens has a negative optical power, and its object side is concave; The seventh lens has a positive optical power, and its object side is convex.

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a vehicle-mounted optical imaging system, which is composed of 7 lenses. By reasonably configuring the refractive power and surface type of each lens, the optical lens has the advantages of large aperture, low cost, miniaturization, good imaging quality, etc. At the same time, it can also capture object detail information better, improve the ability of the optical lens to capture details of the photographed object, improve the picture quality of the optical lens, and improve the resolution and imaging clarity of the optical lens to meet the requirements of autonomous driving applications.

[0021] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationships: 1.4 < f / EPD ≤ 1.7, 27 < TTL / ImgH*DT11 < 37, where f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, EPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the optical imaging lens, TTL is the axial distance from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface, ImgH is half of the diagonal length of the effective pixel area on the imaging surface, and DT11 is the maximum effective radius of the object side of the first lens. By controlling the ratio of TTL / Imgh, the optical system has good thin and light characteristics, and by adding the limitation of the maximum effective radius of the first lens of the optical system, the front end of the optical system can have the characteristic of a small aperture, ensuring that the optical system has the characteristics of a large aperture, miniaturization, and thin and light. When it is lower than the lower limit of the relational expression, while ensuring that the optical lens has a small aperture, the TTL of the optical lens increases, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the lens; when it exceeds the upper limit of the relational expression, it is not conducive to the expansion of the imaging surface of the optical imaging system, reducing the resolution and imaging resolution of the optical system.

[0022] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 1.5 < DT11 / DT72 < 2.2, where DT11 is the maximum effective radius of the object side of the first lens, and DT72 is the maximum effective radius of the image side of the seventh lens. By restricting the ratio of the maximum effective radius of the object side of the first lens to the maximum effective radius of the image side of the seventh lens, the aperture relationship between the first lens and the eighth lens at a large field of view can be reasonably controlled, keeping the maximum effective radius of the first lens within a reasonable range, so that the optical lens features a small aperture. When below the lower limit of the relational expression, the difference in the aperture between the first lens and the seventh lens is reduced, which is not conducive to reducing the size of the optical system head and improving its compactness. When exceeding the upper limit of the relational expression, the aperture of the seventh lens is excessively compressed, which is not conducive to improving the image quality of the optical system and correcting distortion.

[0023] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -3.0 < f123 / f < -0.7, where f123 is the effective combined focal length of the first, second, and third lenses, and f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system. By restricting the ratio of the combined focal length of the first, second, and third lenses to the effective focal length of the optical lens, the optical power of the optical system can be more reasonably distributed among the first, second, and third lenses, reducing the optical power pressure on the first lens, which helps to reduce the aperture of the first lens and meet the requirement of a small aperture. At the same time, it can quickly converge light, thus refracting paraxial light at a low deflection angle and reducing spherical aberration.

[0024] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -2.7 < (SAG11 - SAG12) / CT6 < -1.3; where CT6 is the thickness of the sixth lens on the optical axis, SAG11 is the distance parallel to the optical axis from the maximum effective clear aperture of the object side of the sixth lens to the intersection of the object side of the sixth lens and the optical axis, and SAG12 is the distance parallel to the optical axis from the maximum effective clear aperture of the image side of the sixth lens to the intersection of the image side of the sixth lens and the optical axis. By defining the range of the above conditional expression, the ratio of the sag heights of the object side and the image side of the sixth lens to the central thickness can be reasonably configured, thus reasonably controlling the shape of the sixth lens, preventing the surface shape of the sixth lens from being too curved, which is beneficial to reducing the tolerance sensitivity of the sixth lens, and further beneficial to the processing and forming of the sixth lens, and better realizing engineering manufacturing.

[0025] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -1.7 < R10 / CT5 < -0.9, where R10 is the radius of curvature of the image side of the fifth lens, and CT5 is the thickness of the fifth lens on the optical axis. By defining the range of the ratio of the radius of curvature of the image side of the fifth lens to the thickness of the fifth lens on the optical axis, it is beneficial for the light to be deflected reasonably in the fifth lens, which in turn is beneficial for the improvement of the system MTF, thereby improving the resolution of the system imaging. Below the lower limit of the above conditional formula, the radius of curvature of the image side of the fifth lens is too large, resulting in an increased risk of ghost images due to the easy reflection of light on the image side of the fifth lens. Exceeding the upper limit of the above conditional formula, the central thickness of the fifth lens is too large, resulting in unreasonable deflection of light in the fifth lens, which is not conducive to the improvement of the system MTF.

[0026] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -2.0 < R4 / f ≤ 0.9, where R4 is the radius of curvature of the image side of the second lens, and f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system. By defining the range of the above relational formula, it is beneficial to restrict the curvature of the image side of the second lens, allowing more light to enter the optical system. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reasonably distribute the refractive power of the optical system and correct the off-axis aberration of the optical system. Below the lower limit of the relational formula, the focal length of the optical system is too large, which is not conducive to achieving the miniaturization characteristics and further affects the thinness and lightness of the entire optical system; exceeding the upper limit of the relational formula, the radius of curvature of the image side of the second lens is too small, and the image side of the second lens is too curved, which further increases the risk of ghost images.

[0027] Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 3.6 < CT3 / |SAG6| < 7.5, where CT3 is the thickness of the third lens on the optical axis, and SAG6 is the distance parallel to the optical axis from the maximum effective aperture of the image side of the third lens to the intersection of the image side of the third lens and the optical axis. By controlling the range of the ratio of the central thickness of the third lens to the sagittal height of the image side of the third lens, it is possible to enable the third lens to have a high refractive power while avoiding an excessive central thickness or an overly curved image side of the third lens, which increases the manufacturing difficulty of the third lens, thereby reducing the production cost of the third lens. When below the lower limit of the above relational formula, the image side of the third lens is too curved, resulting in an increased processing difficulty of the third lens and thus an increased production cost; when exceeding the upper limit of the above relational formula, the thickness value of the third lens is too large, which is not conducive to the lightness and miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0028] Further, the in-vehicle optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 0.4 < (T12 + CT2) / (T23 + CT3) < 3.7, where T12 is the distance on the optical axis from the image side of the first lens to the object side of the second lens, T23 is the distance on the optical axis from the image side of the second lens to the object side of the third lens, CT2 is the thickness of the second lens on the optical axis, and CT3 is the thickness of the third lens on the optical axis. When the optical system satisfies the above conditional formula, it is beneficial to correct the high-order aberrations of the system, improve the imaging resolution, and at the same time ensure the compact structure of the system and meet the requirements of miniaturization. When (T12 + CT2) / (T23 + CT3) ≤ 0.4, or (T12 + CT2) / (T23 + CT3) ≥ 3.7, it is not conducive to the correction of the high-order aberrations of the optical system, thereby reducing the imaging quality. At the same time, the setting of too large an air gap and lens thickness will increase the total length of the optical system, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the optical system.

[0029] Further, the in-vehicle optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 3.1 < DT11 / SAG1 < 4.7, where DT11 is the maximum effective radius of the object side of the first lens, and SAG1 is the distance parallel to the optical axis from the maximum effective clear aperture of the object side of the first lens to the intersection of the object side of the first lens and the optical axis. By controlling the ratio range of the above sub-formula, it is beneficial to reduce the aberration risk generated at the edge of the first lens and avoid the excessive curvature of the object side of the first lens, which increases the manufacturing difficulty of the first lens. Below the lower limit of the relational formula, the sagitta of the object side of the first lens is too large, resulting in the excessive curvature of the object side of the first lens. While increasing the manufacturing difficulty, it is easy to cause serious deflection of the marginal rays, which is not conducive to correcting the aberrations of the optical system, thereby reducing the imaging quality of the optical system; exceeding the upper limit of the relational formula, the maximum effective radius of the object side of the third lens increases, making the aperture of the first lens increase, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the optical system.

[0030] Further, the in-vehicle optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 1.8 < (f - f12) / f < 4.0, where f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, and f12 is the effective combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens. By reasonably controlling the ratio range of the combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens to the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, the optical system can satisfy a large field of view angle and at the same time obtain a high imaging resolution. Exceeding the upper limit of the relational formula, the refractive power of the second lens is insufficient, and it is difficult for large-angle light rays to enter the optical system, which is not conducive to expanding the field of view angle range of the optical system; below the lower limit of the relational formula, the refractive power of the second lens is too strong, and strong astigmatism and chromatic aberration are easily generated, which is not conducive to the high-resolution imaging characteristics.

[0031] Furthermore, the on-vehicle optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 2.0 < f45 / f < 5.0, where f45 is the combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system. By constraining the ratio of the combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens to the effective focal length of the optical imaging system, the optical power and surface shape of the fourth lens and the fifth lens can be reasonably allocated, thereby controlling off-axis aberrations and improving imaging quality; at the same time, it is possible to avoid the surface shape of the fourth lens and the fifth lens from being too curved, thereby increasing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0032] In specific embodiments of the present application, in Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, and Embodiment 3, the second lens, the fourth lens, and the seventh lens are aspherical lenses, and the rest are spherical lenses, and all are separated by air gaps. In Embodiment 4, the third lens, the fourth lens, and the seventh lens are aspherical lenses, and the rest are spherical lenses, and all are separated by air gaps; the F number of the optical imaging system is 1.4 to 1.7; the overall optical length of the optical imaging system ≤ 22 mm. The embodiments of the present invention disclose an on-vehicle optical imaging system. By selecting 3 aspherical lenses and 4 spherical lenses and reasonably configuring the refractive power and surface shape of each lens, the optical lens has the advantages of a large aperture, low cost, miniaturization, good imaging quality, etc. At the same time, it can also better capture the detailed information of the object, improve the ability of the optical lens to capture the details of the photographed object, improve the texture of the optical lens, improve the resolution and imaging clarity of the optical lens, so as to meet the requirements of autonomous driving applications.
