When the aperture is located between the third lens and the fourth lens, it is convenient for correcting the aperture aberration.

[0051] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, and the filter may be disposed between the seventh lens and the imaging surface. The filter is used to filter out interfering light and prevent the interfering light from reaching the imaging surface of the optical lens and affecting normal imaging.

[0052] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f123 of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens and the combined focal length f4567 of the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens and the seventh lens satisfy: 0.8 < f123 / f4567 < 2.1.

More specifically: 3.44 < TTL / f < 3.6; 1.19 < TTL / IH < 1.3.

Meeting the above ranges, by reasonably defining the proportion of the optical power of the fifth lens and the sixth lens, it is possible to effectively balance the lens aberration and is beneficial to increasing the imaging area of the optical lens. More specifically: -3.07 < f5 / f < -1.96; -1.92 < f6 / f < -1.55.

Meeting the above ranges, by reasonably defining the proportion of the optical power of the seventh lens and its surface shape, it is beneficial to achieve large target surface imaging and can better match the backend chip. More specifically: 1.72 < f7 / f < 2.27; 0.57 < R13 / f < 0.77; 1.03 < R14 / f < 1.64.

[0061] In some embodiments, the sagittal height Sag3 of the clear aperture semi-diameter on the object side of the second lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter d3 of the object side of the second lens satisfy: 0.2 < Sag3 / d3 < 0.24; the sagittal height Sag4 of the clear aperture semi-diameter on the image side of the second lens and the clear aperture semi-diameter d4 of the image side of the second lens satisfy: -0.18 < Sag4 / d4 < -0.12. Meeting the above ranges helps to control the light trend and highlight the detailed information of the central field of view of the optical lens.

[0062] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical lens satisfy: 5.8 < IH / EPD < 6. Meeting the above range is beneficial to ensuring a large light transmission amount and can reasonably distribute light on the imaging surface. In a scene with complex light conditions, it can also enable the imaging sensor to receive sufficient and uniform light, thereby presenting a properly bright image. More specifically: 5.8 < IH / EPD < 5.98.

[0063] In some embodiments, the sum ΣCT of the central thicknesses of the first lens to the seventh lens along the optical axis respectively and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.49 < ΣCT / TTL < 0.52. Meeting the above range, controlling the total optical length of the optical lens and the sum of the central thicknesses of each lens within a reasonable range can facilitate the structural design and processing and further improve the imaging quality.

[0070] In some embodiments, the lens material in the optical lens provided by the present invention can be glass or plastic. When the lens material is plastic, the production cost can be effectively reduced. Additionally, when the lens material is glass, the geometric chromatic aberration of the optical system can be effectively corrected by the low dispersion characteristic of the glass itself. The optical lens provided by the present invention can adopt an all-plastic lens structure, which can make the structure of the lens relatively compact, significantly reduce the overall weight of the lens, and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0071] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens can adopt spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. Compared with the spherical structure, the aspherical structure can effectively reduce the aberration of the optical system, thereby reducing the number of lenses, and can also maintain good imaging quality within a larger field of view range, thus expanding the shooting range. More specifically, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens of the present invention all adopt aspherical lenses.

[0072] In each embodiment of the present invention, when the lens adopts an aspherical lens, the shapes of the aspherical surfaces of the optical lens satisfy the following equation:

[0073]

[0074] Where z is the distance between the surface and the vertex of the surface in the direction of the optical axis, h is the distance from the optical axis to the surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the surface, K is the quadratic surface coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth order surface coefficients, respectively.

[0075] The present invention will be further described below with reference to several embodiments. In each embodiment, the thickness, radius of curvature, and material selection of each lens in the optical lens are different; for specific differences, please refer to the parameter tables of each embodiment. The following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments. Any changes, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the innovative points of the present invention should be considered equivalent substitutions and are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
