[0054] As shown in Figures 1-8 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 an object plane to an image plane along an optical axis.

[0055] The first lens has a negative focal power, and its object side surface is a convex surface and its image side surface is a concave surface.

[0056] The second lens has a focal power.

[0057] The third lens has a focal power.

[0058] The fourth lens has a positive focal power, and its object side surface is a convex surface and its image side surface is a convex surface.

[0059] The fifth lens has a focal power, and its object side surface is a convex surface and its image side surface is a convex surface.

[0060] The sixth lens has a negative focal power, and its object side surface is a concave surface.

[0061] The seventh lens has a positive focal power, and its object side surface is a convex surface.

[0062] The vehicle-mounted optical imaging system disclosed by the embodiment of the present application is composed of seven lenses. By reasonably configuring the refractive power and surface shape 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 the details of the object well, improve the ability of the optical lens to capture the details of the photographed object, improve the quality of the optical lens, improve the resolution and imaging clarity of the optical lens, and meet the requirements of automatic driving applications.

[0063] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 1.4 < f / EPD ≤ 1.7, 27 < TTL / ImgH*DT11 < 37, wherein f is an effective focal length of the optical imaging system, EPD is an entrance pupil diameter of the optical imaging lens, TTL is an on-axis distance from a first lens object side to an imaging surface, ImgH is half of a diagonal line length of an effective pixel area on the imaging surface, and DT11 is a maximum effective radius of the first lens object side. By controlling the ratio of TTL / ImgH, the optical system has good thinness characteristics, and by adding the limitation of the maximum effective radius of the first lens of the optical system, the optical system has the characteristics of a small caliber at the front end, ensuring that the optical system has the characteristics of a large aperture, miniaturization, and thinness. When below the lower limit of the relationship, the TTL of the optical lens increases on the basis of ensuring that the optical lens has a small caliber, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the lens. When exceeding the upper limit of the relationship, it is not conducive to the expansion of the imaging surface of the optical imaging system, reducing the resolution and imaging resolving power of the optical system.

[0064] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 1.5 < DT11 / DT72 < 2.2, wherein DT11 is a maximum effective radius of a first lens object side, and DT72 is a maximum effective radius of a seventh lens image side. By constraining the ratio of the maximum effective radius of the first lens object side and the maximum effective radius of the seventh lens image side, the caliber relationship of the first lens and the eighth lens under a large field of view angle can be reasonably controlled, so that the maximum effective radius of the first lens is kept within a reasonable range, so that the optical lens has the characteristics of a small caliber. When below the lower limit of the relationship, the caliber difference between the first lens and the seventh lens is reduced, which is not conducive to the reduction and compactness of the optical system head. When exceeding the upper limit of the relationship, the caliber of the seventh lens is excessively compressed, which is not conducive to the improvement of the image quality of the optical system and the correction of distortion.

[0065] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -3.0 < f123 / f < -0.7, wherein f123 is an effective combined focal length of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens, and f is an effective focal length of the optical imaging system. By constraining the ratio of the combined focal length of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens to the effective focal length of the optical lens, the optical power of the optical system can be more reasonably distributed to the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens, reducing the optical power pressure of the first lens, which helps to reduce the caliber of the first lens and meet the characteristics of a small caliber. At the same time, light rays can be quickly converged, so as to refract paraxial rays at a low deflection angle, reducing spherical aberration.

[0066] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -2.7 < (SAG11-SAG12) / CT6 < -1.3; wherein CT6 is the thickness of the sixth lens on the optical axis, SAG11 is the distance from the maximum effective light aperture on the object side of the sixth lens to the intersection of the object side of the sixth lens and the optical axis in the direction parallel to the optical axis, and SAG12 is the distance from the maximum effective light aperture on the image side of the sixth lens to the intersection of the image side of the sixth lens and the optical axis in the direction parallel to the optical axis. By limiting the range of the above condition formula, the ratio of the sagittal height of the object side and the image side of the sixth lens to the center thickness can be reasonably configured, so that the shape of the sixth lens is reasonably controlled, so that the surface of the sixth lens is not too curved, which is beneficial to reduce the tolerance sensitivity of the sixth lens, and then is beneficial to the processing and molding of the sixth lens, and better realizes the engineering manufacturing.

[0067] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -1.7 < R10 / CT5 < -0.9, wherein R10 is the curvature radius of the image side of the fifth lens, and CT5 is the thickness of the fifth lens on the optical axis. By limiting the range of the ratio of the curvature radius of the image side of the fifth lens to the thickness of the fifth lens on the optical axis, it is beneficial to reasonably deflect the light in the fifth lens, and then it is beneficial to improve the system MTF, so as to improve the resolving power of the system imaging. Below the lower limit of the above condition formula, the curvature radius of the image side of the fifth lens is too large, which causes the light to be easily reflected on the image side of the fifth lens and increases the risk of ghost image. Exceeding the upper limit of the above condition formula, the center thickness of the fifth lens is too large, which causes the deflection of the light in the fifth lens to be unreasonable, which is not conducive to the improvement of the system MTF.

[0068] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: -2.0 < R4 / f ≤ 0.9, wherein R4 is the curvature radius of the image side of the second lens, and f is the effective focal length of the optical imaging system. By limiting the range of the above relationship, it is beneficial to constrain the bending degree of the image side of the second lens, so that more light enters the optical system, and 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 relationship, the focal length of the optical system is too large, which is not conducive to the realization of the miniaturization characteristic, and then affects the thinness of the entire optical system; exceeding the upper limit of the relationship, the curvature radius of the image side of the second lens is too small, the image side of the second lens is too curved, and then the risk of ghost image is increased.

[0069] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 3.6 < CT3 / |SAG6| < 7.5, wherein CT3 is the thickness of the third lens on the optical axis, and SAG6 is the distance from the maximum effective aperture of the image side surface of the third lens to the intersection point of the image side surface of the third lens and the optical axis in the direction parallel to the optical axis. By controlling the ratio of the central thickness of the third lens to the sag of the image side surface of the third lens, the third lens can satisfy the condition of having a higher refractive power while avoiding the central thickness of the third lens being too large or the image side surface being too curved, thereby reducing the production cost of the third lens. When the ratio is less than the lower limit of the above relationship, the image side surface of the third lens is too curved, which increases the processing difficulty of the third lens and further increases the production cost. When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the above relationship, the thickness of the third lens is too large, which is not conducive to the light weight and miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0070] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 0.4 < (T12+CT2) / (T23+CT3) < 3.7, wherein T12 is the distance from the image side surface of the first lens to the object side surface of the second lens on the optical axis, T23 is the distance from the image side surface of the second lens to the object side surface of the third lens on the optical axis, 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 condition, it is conducive to correcting the high-order aberration of the system, improving the imaging resolution, and ensuring the compactness of the system structure to meet the miniaturization requirement. 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 aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the imaging quality, and the excessive air gap and lens thickness setting will increase the total length of the optical system, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the optical system.

[0071] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 3.1 < DT11 / SAG1 < 4.7, wherein DT11 is the maximum effective radius of the object side surface of the first lens, and SAG1 is the distance from the maximum effective aperture of the object side surface of the first lens to the intersection point of the object side surface of the first lens and the optical axis in the direction parallel to the optical axis. By controlling the ratio of the above sub-formula, it is conducive to reducing the risk of aberration generated by the edge of the first lens and avoiding the object side surface of the first lens being too curved, thereby reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the first lens. When the ratio is less than the lower limit of the relationship, the sag of the object side surface of the first lens is too large, which causes the object side surface of the first lens to be too curved, increases the manufacturing difficulty, and easily causes the deflection of the edge light to be serious, which is not conducive to correcting the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the imaging quality of the optical system. When the ratio exceeds the upper limit of the relationship, the maximum effective radius of the object side surface of the third lens increases, which increases the aperture of the first lens and is not conducive to the miniaturization of the optical system.

[0072] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 1.8 < (f-f12) / f < 4.0, wherein f is an effective focal length of the optical imaging system, and f12 is an effective combined focal length of the first lens and the second lens. By reasonably controlling the range of the ratio 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 while also obtaining a higher imaging resolution. Exceeding the upper limit of the relationship, the second lens has insufficient refractive power, and it is difficult for light at a large angle to be incident to the optical system, which is not conducive to expanding the field of view range of the optical system; below the lower limit of the relationship, the second lens has too strong refractive power, which is prone to produce strong astigmatism and chromatic aberration, which is not conducive to high-resolution imaging characteristics.

[0073] Further, the vehicle-mounted optical imaging system satisfies the following relationship: 2.0 < f45 / f < 5.0, wherein f45 is a combined focal length of the fourth lens and the fifth lens, and f is an 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 power and surface shape of the fourth lens and the fifth lens can be reasonably distributed, thereby controlling off-axis aberration and improving imaging quality; at the same time, it avoids the surface shape of the fourth lens and the fifth lens being too curved, thereby increasing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0074] In the specific embodiments of the present application, in example one, example two and example three, the second lens, the fourth lens and the seventh lens are aspherical lenses, and the others are spherical lenses, and all are separated and arranged with air as a spacer; in example four, the third lens, the fourth lens and the seventh lens are aspherical lenses, and the others are spherical lenses, and all are separated and arranged with air as a spacer; the F number of the optical imaging system is 1.4-1.7; the total optical length of the optical imaging system is ≤22 mm.
