Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone lens technology, and in particular to a large-area, high-resolution drone lens and electronic device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of drone technology, drones have been widely used in various fields such as aerial photography, military reconnaissance, geographical surveying, crop monitoring, remote sensing mapping, communications, and electronic jamming. Compared with traditional large aircraft, drones have significant technological advantages: they are not limited by terrain, are small and easy to carry, and can flexibly choose shooting angles and operating locations, thus significantly improving the efficiency of shooting and inspection. However, existing drone lens technology still has some shortcomings, limiting its further application potential.
[0003] Existing drone lens designs typically suffer from the following problems: First, the lens structure is lengthy, making it difficult to further reduce the overall size of the drone and meet the demands of miniaturization. Second, the optical resolution is low, failing to effectively improve image clarity and detail. Third, the lens can only be matched with small chip target sizes, limiting the performance of the imaging sensor and thus affecting image quality. These problems make it difficult for existing drone lenses to meet the current industry's dual development trends of miniaturization and high imaging quality. Especially with the increasing demand for high-precision image acquisition, the limitations of existing technologies are becoming increasingly prominent. Therefore, developing a compact, high-resolution drone lens compatible with large-scale chips has become a key direction for promoting drone technology advancement. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a large-area, high-resolution drone lens and electronic device. This lens can at least solve one of the technical shortcomings mentioned in the background art.
[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a large-area high-resolution UAV lens is provided, comprising, from the object side to the image side, a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, a seventh lens, an eighth lens, and a ninth lens;
[0006] The first lens has negative refractive power, the object side of the lens is convex, and the image side of the lens is concave.
[0007] The second lens has negative refractive power, and the object side of the lens is concave, as is the image side of the lens.
[0008] The third lens has positive refractive power, and the object-side surface of the lens is convex, as is the image-side surface of the lens.
[0009] The fourth lens has positive refractive power, and the object-side surface of the lens is convex, as is the image-side surface of the lens.
[0010] The fifth lens has negative refractive power. The object-side surface of the lens is concave, and the image-side surface of the lens is also concave.
[0011] The sixth lens has positive refractive power, and the object-side surface of the lens is convex, as is the image-side surface of the lens.
[0012] The seventh lens has negative refractive power. The object-side surface of the lens is convex, and the image-side surface of the lens is concave.
[0013] The eighth lens has positive refractive power, and the object-side surface of the lens is convex, as is the image-side surface of the lens.
[0014] The ninth lens has positive refractive power, and its object-side surface is convex while its image-side surface is concave.
[0015] The first lens, the second lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens are glass lenses; the seventh lens, the eighth lens, and the ninth lens are plastic lenses.
[0016] In the above technical solution, this invention addresses the problem that existing drone lenses cannot simultaneously achieve lightweight, high definition, large sensor size, large aperture, and wide field of view, proposing an innovative optical design. Through a glass-plastic hybrid design, the number of glass lenses used is reduced, while a 1 / 0.98-inch sensor size is used, achieving a large sensor size, small volume, and high resolution drone lens. This lens can meet the high resolution requirements of over 50 million pixels, significantly improving image quality. Specifically:
[0017] (1) The first and second lenses use two negative diopter lenses in succession. By compressing the field of view and expanding the beam, the light is gently deflected to the optical axis, reducing tolerance sensitivity. At the same time, the outer diameter of the subsequent lens is effectively reduced, taking into account the characteristics of large field of view and small volume.
[0018] (2) With the integrated glass-plastic hybrid design, optimized optical path and target surface adaptability, this invention reduces lens cost, shortens the total length of the lens and reduces lens weight, while ensuring good imaging quality of the system, providing technical support for the miniaturization and high performance of UAV lenses.
[0019] In some embodiments, an aperture stop is provided between the third lens and the fourth lens, and the third lens is an aspherical glass lens made of high refractive index material.
[0020] In the above technical solution, the present invention further improves the performance of the drone lens by optimizing the structural design of the optical system. Specifically, an aperture stop is provided between the third lens and the fourth lens, and the third lens is a glass aspherical lens made of a high refractive index material.
[0021] (1) The aperture stop is positioned between the third and fourth lenses. This design effectively controls the incident angle and path of light, optimizing the distribution of light in the optical system. By adjusting the distance between the lenses and the aperture stop, astigmatism can be corrected, especially excelling in correcting coma, distortion, and transverse aberration. This choice of aperture stop position not only improves image quality but also provides greater optimization space for the design of subsequent lenses.
[0022] (2) The third lens is a glass aspherical lens made of high refractive index material. High refractive index material can effectively correct spherical aberration and coma in the optical system, especially under conditions of large field of view and large aperture, which can significantly improve the sharpness and consistency of the image. The design of the aspherical lens can achieve complex light correction functions within a small lens size, thereby reducing the lens spacing and effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system. The combination of high refractive index material and aspherical design can further reduce the tolerance sensitivity of the system while ensuring image quality, and improve production consistency and reliability.
[0023] (3) By optimizing the aperture position and applying aspherical lenses made of high-refractive-index glass, the lens spacing and light path are reduced, significantly lowering the overall size of the lens and meeting the miniaturization needs of UAV lenses. It effectively corrects spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, distortion, and transverse aberration, ensuring high resolution and large target surface compatibility of the imaging system. The combined design of high-refractive-index materials and aspherical lenses reduces reliance on complex lens groups while improving production efficiency and yield.
[0024] In some embodiments, the lens satisfies the following condition:
[0025] nd3>1.8
[0026] In the formula, nd3 is the refractive index of the third lens.
[0027] In the aforementioned technical solutions, high-refractive-index materials can effectively correct spherical aberration, coma, and chromatic aberration in optical systems, especially under conditions of large aperture and wide field of view, significantly improving image sharpness and consistency. High-refractive-index materials allow for thinner lens designs while achieving complex light correction functions within a smaller lens spacing, thereby effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system and meeting the miniaturization needs of drone lenses. Combined with the design of the aperture stop positioned between the third and fourth lenses, the application of high-refractive-index materials further enhances the performance of the optical system.
[0028] In some embodiments, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens constitute a cemented triplet lens.
[0029] In the aforementioned technical solution, the cemented triplet lens, through the rational combination of materials with different refractive indices and dispersion coefficients, effectively corrects axial and lateral chromatic aberration, ensuring color consistency and sharpness in the image. The cemented triplet lens design optimizes the light convergence path, reduces spherical aberration and astigmatism, and improves image uniformity and contrast. The cemented design reduces air gaps between lenses, decreasing light reflection and scattering at the interfaces, thus improving system stability and reliability. Furthermore, setting the eighth and ninth lenses to positive refractive inflection facilitates light convergence, ensuring that incident beams from each field of view are accurately deflected and converged onto the imaging plane after passing through the optical system, improving image sharpness and resolution. Positive refractive inflection lenses effectively suppress aberrations such as spherical aberration, chromatic aberration, field curvature, and astigmatism, ensuring high-resolution and high-contrast imaging across the entire field of view. The synergistic effect of the cemented triplet lens and the positive refractive inflection lens ensures high-resolution and high-contrast imaging across the entire field of view, meeting the high-resolution requirements of over 50 million pixels. By optimizing the lens combination and structural design, the overall number and size of lenses were reduced, effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system and reducing the weight of the lens, thus meeting the development needs of miniaturization and lightweighting of drone lenses.
[0030] In summary, by designing the fourth, fifth, and sixth lenses as cemented triplet lenses and setting the eighth and ninth lenses to positive optical diopter, this invention solves the technical challenges of existing drone lenses in terms of chromatic aberration correction, image quality optimization, and miniaturization, demonstrating significant innovation and practicality.
[0031] In some embodiments, the lens satisfies the following condition:
[0032] |nd5-nd4|>0.30;|vd4-vd5|>65;|nd5-nd6|>0.25;|vd6-vd5|>45 Where nd4 is the refractive index of the fourth lens, nd5 is the refractive index of the fifth lens, nd6 is the refractive index of the sixth lens, vd4 is the dispersion coefficient of the fourth lens, vd5 is the dispersion coefficient of the fifth lens, and vd6 is the dispersion coefficient of the sixth lens.
[0033] In the above technical solution, through the above conditional limitation and the design of the triple cemented lens, chromatic aberration is effectively corrected, ensuring that the optical system achieves high-resolution and high-contrast imaging effects within the full field of view, meeting the high resolution requirements of more than 50 million pixels. The refractive index and dispersion coefficient of the fourth lens (positive optical power): 1.4 < nd4 < 1.5, 90 < vd4 < 95. Using a high Abbe number material can effectively reduce dispersion, optimize the light convergence path, and reduce chromatic aberration. The refractive index and dispersion coefficient of the fifth lens (negative optical power): 1.8 < nd5 < 1.9, 20 < vd5 < 30. Using a low Abbe number material can enhance dispersion control, optimize the light divergence path through the negative optical power design, and reduce aberration. The refractive index and dispersion coefficient of the sixth lens (positive optical power): 1.5 < nd6 < 1.6, 70 < vd6 < 80. Using a high Abbe number material can effectively reduce dispersion, optimize the light convergence path through the positive optical power design, and improve imaging quality.
[0034] In summary, the present invention designs the fourth lens, the fifth lens and the sixth lens as a triple cemented lens, and reasonably combines high Abbe number and low Abbe number materials, solving the technical problems of chromatic aberration correction, imaging quality optimization and miniaturization in existing UAV lenses. This design not only improves the performance of the optical system, but also reduces the production cost, with significant innovation and practicality.
[0035] In some embodiments, the first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens and the sixth lens are glass spherical lenses, and the third lens is a glass aspherical lens; the seventh lens, the eighth lens and the ninth lens are plastic aspherical lenses.
[0036] In the above technical solution, by using aspherical lenses in the third, seventh, eighth, and ninth lenses, the present invention can significantly improve the performance of the optical system. Aspherical lenses can effectively correct aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and distortion, especially under conditions of large field of view and large aperture, significantly improving image sharpness and consistency. The application of aspherical lenses effectively corrects various aberrations, ensuring that the optical system achieves high-resolution and high-contrast imaging effects across the entire field of view, meeting the high resolution requirements of over 50 million pixels. By increasing the order of even-order aspherical surfaces, each aspherical lens can undertake more optical functions, thereby reducing the number of lenses used and making the optical system more compact, meeting the development trend of miniaturization and lightweighting of UAV lenses. Aspherical lenses can effectively control the refraction of light in the edge region, reducing edge distortion and improving image uniformity and overall quality. Glass lenses have the characteristics of high refractive index and low dispersion, making them suitable for correcting chromatic aberration and improving image quality; plastic lenses have the advantages of being lightweight and low-cost, making them suitable for aspherical designs to further optimize aberration correction. The combination of glass and plastic lenses reduces the overall number and size of lenses, effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system and reducing lens weight. The use of plastic aspherical lenses reduces reliance on expensive glass materials, while improving production efficiency and yield, and lowering overall production costs.
[0037] In some embodiments, the lens satisfies the following condition:
[0038] 2.1<|(f1 / f)|<2.5; 2.3<|(f2 / f)|<2.6; 1.8<|(f3 / f)|<2.2;
[0039] 3.0<|(f4 / f)|<3.5; 1.2<|(f5 / f)|<1.4; 1.6<|(f6 / f)|<1.8;
[0040] 3.8 < |(f7 / f)| < 6.1; 2.3 < |(f8 / f)| < 2.9; 12.0 < |(f9 / f)| < 145.0; where f is the focal length of the lens, and f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6, f7, f8, and f9 are the focal lengths of the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, seventh lens, eighth lens, and ninth lens, respectively.
[0041] In the above technical solution, by precisely defining the ratio between the focal length of each lens and the total focal length of the system, this invention achieves a reasonable allocation of optical power. The focal length ratio design of each lens can effectively control the convergence and divergence paths of light, optimize the distribution of light in the optical system, and thus significantly improve the clarity and consistency of imaging. Through the reasonable allocation of optical power, each lens can work synergistically to effectively correct aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, and distortion, ensuring that the optical system achieves high-resolution and high-contrast imaging effects across the entire field of view. By rationally allocating optical power, light can be smoothly deflected within the optical system, reducing scattering and deflection angles, thereby reducing tolerance sensitivity and improving the stability and reliability of the system. The optimized design of the focal length ratio of each lens enables the optical system to achieve complex light correction functions within a smaller size, effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system while reducing the weight of the lens, meeting the development needs of miniaturization and lightweighting of UAV lenses.
[0042] In some embodiments, the lens satisfies the following condition:
[0043] 1.5 <nd1<1.7;60<vd1<80;
[0044] 1.4 <nd2<1.6;75<vd2<95;
[0045] 1.8 <nd3<1.9;35<vd3<45;
[0046] 1.4 <nd4<1.6;60<vd4<95;
[0047] 1.7 <nd5<1.9;20<vd5<30;
[0048] 1.5 <nd6<1.6;60<vd6<80;
[0049] 1.5 <nd7<1.7;20<vd7<60;
[0050] 1.6 <nd8<1.7;20<vd8<30;
[0051] 1.5 <nd9<1.7;20<vd9<60;
[0052] In the formula, nd1 to nd9 are the refractive indices of the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, seventh lens, eighth lens, and ninth lens, respectively, and vd1 to vd9 are the dispersion coefficients of the first lens, second lens, third lens, fourth lens, fifth lens, sixth lens, seventh lens, eighth lens, and ninth lens, respectively.
[0053] In the aforementioned technical solution, the rational combination of the refractive index and dispersion coefficient of each lens ensures that the optical system achieves high-resolution and high-contrast imaging effects across the entire field of view, meeting the high resolution requirements of over 50 million pixels. By optimizing lens materials and structural design, the number and size of lenses are reduced, effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system and reducing lens weight, thus meeting the trend of miniaturization and lightweighting of drone lenses. The rational combination of high and low Abbe number materials reduces reliance on expensive optical materials, while improving production efficiency and yield, and lowering overall production costs.

[0131] Figure 18 Example 5 shows the MTF curve. The MTF across the entire field of view is greater than 0.38 at 156 lp / mm. Figure 19 Example 5 shows the field curvature and distortion curves. The field curvature curves for each wavelength overlap, and the field curvature values are all less than 0.06 mm.

[0132] Based on Examples 1 to 5, this invention offers the following advantages: Optimized lens effective diameter and system size: By limiting the effective lens diameter to less than φ26mm, this invention significantly reduces the physical size of the lens while ensuring the performance of the optical system. This design makes the lens more compact, meeting the miniaturization and lightweight requirements of UAVs. With a focal length F less than 10mm and a horizontal field of view (HFOV) of 85°, this invention achieves wide-angle imaging, covering a wider area, making it particularly suitable for applications such as aerial photography and surveillance. The total lens weight is less than 32g. Through a glass-plastic hybrid design, the number of glass lenses used is reduced, while the lightweight properties of the plastic lenses are utilized to significantly reduce the lens weight, improving the UAV's endurance and maneuverability. MTF performance: At a frequency of 156lp / mm, the modulation transfer function (MTF) value across the entire field of view is greater than 0.38, ensuring high imaging resolution and image sharpness. Target Height Matching: The target height is greater than or equal to 16.384mm, which can match a large 1 / 0.98-inch target sensor, ensuring that the imaging surface covers the entire sensor and improving image integrity and quality. Principal Ray Angle (CRA): The principal ray angle (CRA) of the imaging surface is 12°, matching the sensor, optimizing the light incident angle, reducing light deflection on the sensor, and improving image uniformity and color reproduction. Aperture F / NO is 1.4. The large aperture design significantly increases the amount of light entering the system, improving imaging performance in low-light environments, while also enhancing depth-of-field control capabilities, further improving image quality.
[0133] Through the above design, the present invention achieves significant technical progress in the following aspects:
[0134] Improved imaging quality: The high resolution, wide field of view, and large aperture design ensure high imaging quality of the optical system in various environments, meeting the high resolution requirements of over 50 million pixels.
[0135] System miniaturization and lightweighting: By optimizing lens materials and structural design, the number and size of lenses are reduced, effectively shortening the overall length of the optical system and reducing the weight of the lens, thus meeting the development trend of miniaturization and lightweighting of drone lenses.
[0136] Reduced production costs: The hybrid glass-plastic design and reasonable combination of high Abbe number and low Abbe number materials reduce the dependence on expensive optical materials, while improving production efficiency and yield, thus reducing overall production costs.
[0137] Color reproduction and uniformity: By optimizing the light path and correcting aberrations, color consistency and uniformity of the image are ensured, thus improving the visual effect of the image.
[0138] In summary, this invention solves the technical challenges of existing drone lenses in terms of chromatic aberration correction, image quality optimization, and miniaturization by precisely defining the refractive index and dispersion coefficient of each lens, combined with aspherical design and material optimization. It has significant innovation and practicality.
