Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of endoscopes, and in particular relates to a miniature endoscope microscope objective lens. Background Art

[0002] Microendoscopes are widely used in industrial and medical fields. For example, in the aerospace field, they are used for internal engine inspection and fuselage structure exploration (such as detecting cracks in turbine blades, fuel pipe blockages, etc.); in the medical field, they are used for early gastrointestinal cancer screening and optical biopsy.

[0003] With the continuous development of the application fields and scenarios of microendoscopes, the miniaturization of the micro-objective lens components at the front end of flexible fiber optic endoscopes has become increasingly prominent. Excessive optical length of the micromicroscope will lead to an excessively long rigid structure at the front end of the flexible endoscope, increasing the difficulty of passing the instrument through narrow or curved channels and reducing its operational flexibility in complex structures, thereby affecting the operator's ability to perform fine manipulation. At the same time, the increase in front end length increases the risk of accidental damage to the internal structure of the surrounding test object.

[0004] Existing micromicroscopes often use gradient refractive index (GRIN) lenses to achieve miniaturization. However, a single GRIN lens has poor aberration correction capabilities and is often used in combination. For example, a plano-convex lens combined with two GRIN lenses forms a micro-objective lens. The outer diameter is typically 0.2-2 mm, enabling micron-level resolution, but the working distance is less than 200 μm. Furthermore, the combination of GRIN lenses increases system length, resulting in excessively long rigid structures.

[0005] In addition to using GRIN lenses to design micro microscopes, lens combinations are also often used to design micro objective lenses. For example, a four-lens combination is used, in which one surface of the double-cemented lens is aspherical, and one surface of the convex lens is aspherical and the other surface is binary. The maximum aperture is 2.2mm, the total length of the system is 8.8mm, and the working distance is 300μm. However, this objective lens is difficult to process. Another example is the use of four spherical lenses. The outer diameter of the objective lens group is less than 1mm, and the total length of the optical system is less than 6mm. However, the working distance is only 40~80μm, which makes it difficult to see the deeper morphology of the endoscopic test object, and it will cause the endoscope to be used too close, increasing the risk of damage to the test object. Summary of the Invention

At the same time, the working distance of the micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens can be increased to 1000 μm, which increases the depth of the detection layer and correspondingly shortens the penetration depth of the microprobe, reducing the risk of the micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens scratching and damaging the object to be tested.

[0043] (3) The micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens of the present invention only includes three lens groups in the entire device, with a small number of components and a simple structure, which greatly shortens the total optical axis length. It can meet the requirements of a diameter less than 2 mm, an optical system total axis length less than 8 mm, and a working distance greater than 400 μm while ensuring the imaging quality, and reduces the difficulty of lens packaging, and has good application prospects and promotion value.

[0079] Example:

[0080] See also Figures 1 to 28 The micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens in a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an optical system, which includes a first lens group 1, a second lens group 2, and a third lens group 3, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis, and an imaging surface S4. After light passes through the first lens group 1, the second lens group 2, and the third lens group 3 in sequence, it is imaged on the imaging surface S4.

[0081] Specifically, the first lens group 1 has positive refractive power, and is used to converge light transmitted from the object side and present the collected light to the second lens group 2.

[0082] More specifically, the side of the first lens group 1 close to the object plane is the first object-side surface S11, and the side close to the image plane is the first image-side surface S12, wherein the first object-side surface S11 is a spherical surface or a plane, and is further preferably a standard spherical surface and a convex surface to facilitate contact with tissue during endoscopic use; correspondingly, the first image-side surface S12 is a convex surface.

[0083] In actual configuration, the first lens group 1 may include only the first lens L11, or the first lens L11 may be cemented together with the fourth lens L12, which are arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side, to form the first lens group 1, with a cemented surface S13 formed between the fourth lens L12 and the first lens L11. Furthermore, the fourth lens L12 may be made of optical glass, while the first lens L11 may be made of optical plastic. The fourth lens L12 serves as a protective lens to prevent the first lens L11, which is made of optical plastic, from being scratched or absorbing water during endoscopic use.

[0084] Furthermore, the second lens group 2 has positive refractive power, and is used to further converge the light presented by the first lens group 1 and transmit it to the third lens group 3.

[0085] Specifically, the side of the second lens group 2 close to the object plane is the second object-side surface S21, and the side close to the image plane is the second image-side surface S22, wherein the second object-side surface S21 is a convex surface, and both the second object-side surface S21 and the second image-side surface S22 are aspherical surfaces.

[0086] Furthermore, the side of the third lens group 3 close to the object plane is the third object-side surface S31, and the side close to the image plane is the third image-side surface S32, wherein the third object-side surface S31 is a concave surface, the third image-side surface S32 is a convex surface, and both the third object-side surface S31 and the third image-side surface S32 are aspherical surfaces, forming a meniscus lens to correct field curvature, so as to cooperate with the second lens 2 to correct spherical aberration while adjusting the magnification.

[0087] Preferably, all aspheric surface shapes in the optical system of the present invention satisfy:

[0088] (1)

[0089] in, Indicates the distance of the surface from the vertex in the direction of the optical axis. represents the curvature of the surface vertex, represents the conic coefficient of the quadratic surface, represents the distance from the optical axis to the surface, 、 、 and Represent the fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order and tenth-order surface coefficients respectively.

[0090] Preferably, the second lens group 2 satisfies:

[0091] (2)

[0092] in, The effective light aperture of the second object side S21 is used as the effective light aperture of the micro endoscope microscope objective lens. It is the distance from the object plane S5 to the second object-side surface S21 along the optical axis, so that the working distance and the object-side numerical aperture of the optical system are reasonable, so that the second lens group 2 has better processing performance.

[0093] Preferably, the optical system of the present invention further satisfies:

[0094] (3)

[0095] in, TTL is the total length of the optical system, i.e., the distance from the first object-side surface S11 to the imaging surface S4 along the optical axis, FFL is the working distance of the optical system, that is, the distance from the object plane S5 to the first object-side surface S11 along the optical axis.

[0096] It is understandable that when TTL / FFLWhen the working distance is less than 4.2, each lens is too thin and has a large optical power, making it difficult to process and package the microscope. In addition, the working distance is too long, and the probability of light scattering from the object plane S5 to the first object side surface S11 increases, resulting in the microscope not being able to collect enough light for imaging. TTL / FFL When it is >9.9, the total length of the microscope's optical system is too long and the working distance is too short.

[0097] Preferably, the optical system of the present invention further satisfies:

[0098] (4)

[0099] when When the above conditions are met, the total length of the optical system is reasonable and the optical power distribution of the lens is appropriate, which is conducive to ensuring good processability and reducing the tolerance sensitivity during lens packaging.

[0100] Preferably, the optical system of the present invention further satisfies:

[0101] (5)

[0102] in, is the edge distance between the first image-side surface S12 and the second object-side surface S21, It is the center distance between the first image-side surface S12 and the second object-side surface S21, that is, the distance along the optical axis.

[0103] It is understandable that when When the first image side surface S12 and the second object side surface S21 have insufficient surface focal length, the subsequent surface focal length pressure is high, thereby reducing the processing and assembly performance of the microscope. When the curvature of the first image-side surface S12 or the second object-side surface S21 is too large, the lens is difficult to process.

[0104] Preferably, the optical system of the present invention further satisfies:

[0105] (6)

[0106] in, is the edge distance between the third image-side surface S32 and the third object-side surface S31, It is the center distance between the third image-side surface S32 and the third object-side surface S31 , so that the meniscus lens of the third lens group 3 has a reasonable thickness ratio, ensuring the machinability of the third lens group 3 .

[0107] Preferably, in order to ensure the machinability of the micro-microscope objective lens, the optical system of the present invention also meets the following requirements:

[0108] (7)

[0109] (8)

[0110] (9)

[0111] (10)

[0112] in, R is the radius of curvature of all lenses, is the center thickness of all lenses, is the edge thickness of all lenses, is the edge thickness of all lens spacings.

[0113] Preferably, the refractive index of the working environment of the micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens in the present invention, that is, the environment between the object plane S5 and the first object-side surface S11, is 1.34.

The relevant parameters of each lens are shown in Table 1, and the distance relationship between the lens groups is shown in Table 2.

[0116]

[0117] It should be noted that the center-to-center spacing and edge-to-edge spacing in the above table refer to the distance between the current surface and the next surface. For example, the center thickness / spacing 0.63 mm corresponding to S5 represents the spacing between the object surface S5 and the first object-side surface S11, which is also the working distance of the microendoscopic microscope objective lens. For another example, the edge spacing corresponding to S11 represents the spacing between the first object-side surface S11 and the first image-side surface S12, which is also the edge thickness of the first lens group 1. The above notation is also applicable to the other specific embodiments described below.

[0118]

The relevant parameters of each lens are shown in Table 7, and the distance relationship between the lens groups is shown in Table 8.

[0135]

[0136]

[0137] like Figure 13 As shown in , the effective aperture of the micro-endoscopic microscope objective lens is 0.8 mm, the mechanical aperture is 1.2 mm, the total axis length (TTL) is 4.62 mm, and the working distance is 650 μm.
