Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of imaging optical technology, and more particularly to a high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens. Background Art

[0002] With the development of lens and electronic technology, lens is no longer limited to camera system. In addition to traditional DV shooting, lens is also used in various other video acquisition environments; for example, the monitoring system shoots the surrounding environment, various vehicle devices including passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc.; existing traditional lenses, such as the wide-angle low-distortion lens with patent publication number CN115113376A, often use glued lens in the lens to ensure the image quality. The glued lens is made by gluing multiple optical elements during the manufacturing process to reduce the size of the lens and improve the optical performance; however, this structure has defects such as optical performance degradation, internal contamination, and difficulty in cleaning and repair under the condition of temperature changes, humidity fluctuations and long-term use; therefore, a new lens design is urgently needed to meet the imaging quality of the glued lens without gluing the lens, so as to solve the shortcomings of the traditional glued lens. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0004] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens, comprising: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side; the first lens is a meniscus lens with negative optical focal length; the first lens is convex to the object side; the second lens is a biconvex lens with positive optical focal length; the third lens is a biconvex lens with positive optical focal length; the fourth lens is a meniscus lens with negative optical focal length; the fourth lens is convex to the image side; an aperture member is provided between the first lens and the second lens; the distance between the image plane of the third lens and the object plane of the fourth lens is 0.02 mm.

[0005] Optionally, the d-light refractive index Nd of the first lens is ≥1.535037, and the Abbe constant Vd is ≥55.71.

[0006] Optionally, the d-light refractive index Nd of the second lens is ≤1.5928, and the Abbe constant Vd is ≥68.34.

[0007] Optionally, the focal length F1 of the first lens and the focal length F of the high-quality wide-angle and low-distortion lens satisfy the following relationship: 1.03≤|F1 / F|≤1.43.

[0008] Optionally, both the object surface of the second lens and the image surface of the second lens are spherical surfaces, the curvature radius of the object surface of the second lens is 21.90 mm, and the curvature radius of the image surface of the second lens is 2.66 mm.

[0009] Optionally, a color filter is provided on a side of the fourth lens close to the image side, the thickness of the color filter is 2.63 mm, and the image plane and object plane of the color filter are both flat.

[0010] Optionally, the focal length F1 of the first lens and the focal length F2 of the second lens satisfy the following relationship: 0.64≤|F1 / F2|≤1.04.

[0011] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The design structure of the present invention avoids the high distortion phenomenon commonly seen in traditional lenses. By rationally configuring the shape and refractive index of the lens, the geometric integrity of the image can be maintained at a wide viewing angle, so that the captured scenery and objects are not distorted. At the same time, the non-glued design is adopted to avoid performance degradation caused by environmental changes (such as temperature and humidity). The lens can still maintain stable optical performance and image quality under different use conditions, solving the aging and optical degradation problems that may occur in glued lenses during long-term use.

[0013] 2. The overall design makes the lens assembly easy to disassemble and clean. If one of the lenses is dirty or moldy, it can be replaced individually without replacing the entire lens, which improves the maintainability of the product and reduces the long-term use cost. Since the complex structure of the glued lens is not used, this lens is simpler in design, relatively small in size, and easy to carry, which further increases the scene adaptability of the lens.

[0024] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] The present invention provides a high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens and a fourth lens arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side; the first lens is a meniscus lens with negative optical focal length; the first lens is convex to the object side; the second lens is a biconvex lens with positive optical focal length; the third lens is a biconvex lens with positive optical focal length; the fourth lens is a meniscus lens with negative optical focal length; the fourth lens is convex to the image side; an aperture member is provided between the first lens and the second lens; the distance between the image plane of the third lens and the object plane of the fourth lens is 0.02 mm.

[0026] The embodiment of the present invention adopts the above-mentioned four reasonably matched lenses with different positive and negative optical powers and different concave and convex shapes and an optical system composed of an aperture member STO. Without the need to use a cemented lens, the imaging quality of the cemented lens can also be achieved, so that the total optical length TTL of the high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens is 12.2mm, it can withstand high temperatures above 85 degrees, the lens pixels are above 300W, it has an ultra-wide-angle angle of 146 degrees, low distortion, TV distortion of only 16%, a large aperture F / NO=2.15, a day and night confocal function, a high cost-effective lens, only 1G3P, wherein the first lens is a glass lens, and the remaining lenses are plastic lenses.

[0027] Furthermore, the d-light refractive index Nd of the first lens is ≥1.535037, and the Abbe constant Vd is ≥55.71.

[0028] Specifically, the first lens has good optical stability, is suitable for high-resolution imaging, can effectively reduce chromatic aberration caused by light refraction, ensures imaging details and layering, and enhances the overall image quality.

[0029] Furthermore, the d-light refractive index Nd of the second lens is ≤1.5928, and the Abbe constant Vd is ≥68.34.

[0030] Specifically, the design of the second lens adopts a biconvex form. Through precise curved surface configuration, it can effectively control optical distortion, reduce light convergence error, improve the dispersion performance of the lens, and reduce chromatic aberration and aberration, so that when shooting at wide angles, even under extreme lighting conditions, the image can still maintain high-quality clarity and balanced color performance.

[0031] Furthermore, the focal length F1 of the first lens and the focal length F of the high-quality wide-angle and low-distortion lens satisfy the following relationship: 1.03≤|F1 / F|≤1.43.

[0032] Specifically, the relationship between the focal length F1 of the first lens and the overall focal length F of the lens can ensure that the lens has an ideal perspective effect and clarity in a wide-angle state, reduce edge blur, and enable the entire picture to achieve relatively consistent high imaging quality.

[0033] Furthermore, the object surface of the second lens and the image surface of the second lens are both spherical surfaces, the curvature radius of the object surface of the second lens is 21.90 mm, and the curvature radius of the image surface of the second lens is 2.66 mm.

[0034] Specifically, the design of the second lens is based on the required optical path adjustment, so that the light can be focused more accurately and the best imaging effect can be guaranteed, so as to reduce optical distortion, provide a more uniform defocus effect, and ensure that high-resolution images can be obtained within the entire imaging range.

[0035] Furthermore, a color filter is provided on a side of the fourth lens close to the image side, the thickness of the color filter is 2.63 mm, and both the image plane and the object plane of the color filter are flat.

[0036] Specifically, the color filter is designed to be flat to ensure that the path of light entering and leaving is not disturbed. The color filter is made of suitable materials to minimize the loss of light by the color filter.

[0037] Further, the focal length F1 of the first lens and the focal length F2 of the second lens satisfy the following relationship: 0.64≤|F1 / F2|≤1.04.

[0038] Specifically, this arrangement improves the optical performance of the lens while maintaining image quality, ensures the optical alignment performance of the lens, reduces the error of light propagation between lenses, and improves the accuracy and clarity of imaging.

[0039] Optionally, it also includes: a lens barrel; the lens barrel is provided with: a clamping component for clamping and limiting the third lens and the fourth lens so that the distance between the image plane of the third lens and the object plane of the fourth lens is maintained at 0.02 mm.

[0040] Specifically, the design of the lens barrel improves the stability of the optical structure of the lens, so that the effect of a glued lens can be achieved without using a glued lens, and also provides convenience for subsequent optical adjustment, which can effectively reduce the imaging deviation caused by changes in lens spacing.

[0041] The high-quality wide-angle and low-distortion lens of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the above specific embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings and tables.

[0042] The parameters that specifically conform to the above lens relationship are as follows:

[0043] The first lens, the second lens, the third lens and the fourth lens satisfy the following conditional formula:

[0044] F1=-4.115997mm, F2=+4.888908mm,

[0045] F3=+2.907962mm, F4=-3.605768mm,

[0046] F=3.35mm.

[0047] Wherein F1-F4 represents the focal lengths of the first lens to the fourth lens, and F represents the effective focal length of the entire lens.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, taking the object side as the base point, the first lens to the fourth lens along the optical axis direction are marked as L1 to L4, and then the mirror surfaces of each lens are numbered in turn, the mirror curvature radius of the first lens is R1, R2, the aperture surface of the aperture member is R3, the mirror curvature radius of the second lens is R4, R5, the mirror curvature radius of the third lens is R6, R7, the mirror curvature radius of the fourth lens is R8, R9, and the lens of the color filter IR is R10, R11.

[0060] The lens field of view has a maximum angle of 146°. When the aperture is set to F22, the horizontal field of view is 134° and the vertical field of view is 110°.

[0061] In summary, combined with the above optical specifications, Table 1 and Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens of this embodiment can also achieve the imaging quality of using a cemented lens without using a cemented lens, so that the total optical length TTL of the high-quality wide-angle low-distortion lens is 12.2mm, it can withstand high temperatures above 85 degrees, the lens pixel is more than 300W, it has an ultra-wide-angle angle of 146 degrees, low distortion, TV distortion of only 16%, a large aperture F / NO=2.15, and a day and night confocal function. The lens has a high cost performance ratio and is only 1G3P, wherein the first lens is a glass lens and the remaining lenses are plastic lenses, while the traditional method requires 5G to achieve the effect achieved by the present invention.
