[0081] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0082] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0083] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a zoom lens at the wide-angle end provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1The zoom lens provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a focus lens group 10 with negative focal power, an aperture 20, a variator lens group 30 with positive focal power, and a fixed lens group 40 with positive focal power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; the focus lens group 10 includes a first lens 101 with negative focal power, a second lens 102 with negative focal power, a third lens 103 with positive focal power, and a fourth lens 104 with negative focal power, and the second lens 102 and the third lens 103 form a cemented lens with positive focal power; the variator lens group 30 includes a fifth lens 301 with positive focal power, a sixth lens 302 with negative focal power, a seventh lens 303 with positive focal power, and an eighth lens 304 with positive or negative focal power. , a ninth lens 305 with positive or negative focal power, and a tenth lens 306 with negative focal power; the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 form a cemented lens with positive or negative focal power or can be used separately, and the focal powers of the eighth lens 304 and the ninth lens 305 are opposite; the fixed lens group 40 includes an eleventh lens 401 with positive focal power; wherein the fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 302, the ninth lens 305, the tenth lens 306 and the eleventh lens 401 are all aspherical lenses; the aperture 20 moves together with the zoom lens group 30, and by changing the positions of the focus lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30 on the optical axis, the zoom lens can be switched between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end;

[0084] The zoom lens meets the following conditions:

[0085] FT / FW=4.5;

[0086] 4.41≤FOVW / FOVT≤4.88;

[0087] Among them, FT is the focal length of the zoom lens at the telephoto end, FW is the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end; FOVW is the maximum field of view of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end, and FOVT is the maximum field of view of the zoom lens at the telephoto end.

[0088] It is understood that the focal power is the reciprocal of the focal length, which characterizes the ability of an optical system to bend light. The larger the absolute value of the focal power, the stronger the ability to bend light, and the smaller the absolute value of the focal power, the weaker the ability to bend light. When the focal power is a positive number, the refraction of light is convergent; when the focal power is a negative number, the refraction of light is divergent. In specific implementation, refer to Figure 1 The zoom lens also includes a flat glass 50, which is arranged on the side closest to the image plane. The flat glass 50 can protect the photosensitive chip in the imaging sensor, wherein the photosensitive chip is used to convert the light signal collected by the zoom lens into an electrical signal, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the zoom lens. The focus lens group 10, the aperture 20, the variable magnification lens group 30, the fixed lens group 40 and the flat glass 50 can be arranged in a lens barrel ( Figure 1(not shown in the figure), the position of the fixed lens group 40 is fixed, and the focal length of the lens is changed by moving the focus lens group 10, the aperture 20 and the zoom lens group 30. In the process of moving the focus lens group 10, the aperture 20 and the zoom lens group 30 to achieve zooming, the zoom lens is at the wide-angle end when the focal length is shortest, and at the telephoto end when the focal length is longest. At the wide-angle end and the telephoto end, the zoom lens has different focal lengths and optical powers, and also has different shapes. It should be noted that Figure 1 The structural diagrams corresponding to the following embodiments are merely illustrative; shapes such as aspheric surfaces are not depicted as they actually are. The opposite focal powers of the eighth lens 304 and the ninth lens 305 mean that when the eighth lens 304 has a positive focal power, the ninth lens 305 has a negative focal power, and when the eighth lens 304 has a negative focal power, the ninth lens 305 has a positive focal power.

[0089] According to the technical solution of the embodiment of the present invention, a focusing lens group with negative focal power is used at the front end of the aperture and a fifth lens with positive focal power is used at the rear end of the aperture, which can ensure that a larger light aperture is generated after the light passes through, increase the F number of the zoom lens, and meet the usage requirements under different conditions; the cemented lens used in the focusing lens group can also correct the high-order chromatic aberration and aberration of the lens, control the aberration balance of each group, ensure that no serious aberration is generated when the light enters the structure behind the aperture, and improve the imaging quality of the zoom lens; the aspherical lenses, cemented lenses, etc. of the variable magnification lens group and the fixed lens group can correct the aberration at the rear end of the lens, and can stabilize the imaging quality of the zoom lens in conjunction with the lens group at the front end of the aperture. In addition, controlling the diaphragm diameter at the three ends of the lens to be the same can structurally reduce the aperture range, ensure a longer travel distance for the lens movable group, achieve a higher imaging magnification or reduce the volume, and meet the needs of use under different conditions. By rationally matching the optical focal length, full-band confocality and 4.5x magnification in the 436nm~870nm band can be achieved on a 1 / 1.8″ target surface, achieving higher image quality and suitable for use in a wider range of situations.

[0090] On the basis of the above embodiments, optionally, along the direction from the object side to the image side of the optical axis, in the focusing lens group 10, the first lens 101 is a convex-concave lens, the second lens 102 is a biconcave lens, the third lens 103 is a biconvex lens, and the object side surface of the fourth lens 104 is concave; in the zoom lens group 30, the fifth lens 301 is a biconvex lens, the sixth lens 302 is a convex-concave lens, the seventh lens 303 is a biconvex lens, the object side surface of the eighth lens 304 is concave, the object side surface of the tenth lens 306 is a center-convex and edge-concave type, and the image side surface is a center-concave and edge-convex type; in the fixed lens group 40, the object side surface of the eleventh lens 401 is edge-convex, and the image side surface is edge-concave.

[0091] By setting the shape of each lens, the optical power of each lens can be adapted.

[0092] Optionally, the focal lengths of the lens groups of the zoom lens and the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfy the following relationship:

[0093] -2.396≤F1q / FW≤-2.340;

[0094] 2.177≤F2q / FW≤2.235;

[0095] 9.121≤F3q / FW≤12.041;

[0096] Wherein, F1q, F2q and F3q represent the focal lengths of the focus lens group 10, the variable power lens group 30 and the fixed lens group 40 respectively; and FW represents the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end.

[0097] By setting the focal length of each lens group and the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end to meet the above-mentioned matching method, a reasonable matching of optical focal lengths is achieved, allowing light to pass through the zoom lens more smoothly, thereby correcting the influence of high-level aberrations on image quality to a great extent.

[0098] Optionally, the moving distances of the focus lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30 satisfy the following relationship:

[0099] 0.977≤S1 / S2≤1.036;

[0100] Here, S1 represents the maximum moving distance of the focus lens group 10 , and S2 represents the maximum moving distance of the zoom lens group 30 .

[0101] By controlling the moving distance of the focus lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30, the size of the lens can be minimized. The closer the value is to 1, the higher the space utilization of the zoom lens group and the focus lens group.

[0102] Optionally, the fourth lens 104 , the sixth lens 302 , the ninth lens 305 , the tenth lens 306 , and the eleventh lens 401 are all plastic aspheric lenses, and the fourth lens 104 , the sixth lens 302 , the ninth lens 305 , the tenth lens 306 , and the eleventh lens 401 meet the following requirements:

[0103] 1.535≤nd4≤1.671;19.238≤vd4≤55.709;

[0104] 1.535≤nd6≤1.567;37.401≤vd6≤55.709;

[0105] 1.603≤nd9≤1.629;24.640≤vd9≤28.276;

[0106] 1.535≤nd10≤1.544;55.709≤vd10≤56.135;

[0107] 1.629≤nd11≤1.671;19.238≤vd11≤24.640;

[0108] Wherein, nd4, nd6, nd9, nd10 and nd11 respectively denote the refractive indices of the fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 302, the ninth lens 305, the tenth lens 306 and the eleventh lens 401, and vd4, vd6, vd9, vd10 and vd11 respectively denote the Abbe numbers of the fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 302, the ninth lens 305, the tenth lens 306 and the eleventh lens 401.

[0109] In order to ensure that the zoom lens can achieve stable imaging at all focal lengths, it is usually necessary to separately achromatize and control aberrations in the fixed lens group 40 to prevent excessive accumulation of chromatic aberration and aberration after entering the movable lens group 30, thereby affecting image quality. The fourth lens 104 uses the above-mentioned lens material combination to control the chromatic aberration and aberration entering the focus lens group 10 within a reasonable range, preventing them from being excessively amplified during the movement of the focus lens group 10, making them difficult to correct later. In the focus lens group 10, the sixth lens 302, the ninth lens 305, and the tenth lens 306 use the above-mentioned lens material combination to correct the chromatic aberration and aberration generated by the entire lens, controlling them within a reasonable range before the light enters the image plane. In addition, aspherical lenses have an excellent ability to control the higher-order aberrations of the optical system. The use of aspherical lenses in the fourth lens 104, the sixth lens 302, the ninth lens 305, the tenth lens 306, and the eleventh lens 401 can further reduce the higher-order aberrations when the light enters the image plane, thereby further improving image quality and meeting the requirements of 4K imaging.

[0110] In addition, glass and plastic can compensate for each other and can effectively balance the expansion and contraction of the front and rear ends of the lens under temperature changes, which is beneficial to improving the overall high and low temperature performance of the lens. The combination of glass and plastic lenses in the lens can better balance the resolution of the lens under high and low temperature conditions. At the same time, the use of a reasonable combination of glass lenses can also have a good correction effect on the aberration of the lens. The use of the above materials can ensure that the lens has good resolution within the range of -40°C to 80°C. The use of the above plastic lens combination can meet the requirements of good resolution under the above temperature conditions, expanding the scope of use of the lens. The material of the plastic aspheric lens is various types of plastic known to those skilled in the art, and the embodiments of the present invention will not be described in detail.

[0111] Optionally, the fifth lens 301 , the seventh lens 303 , and the eighth lens 304 are all glass spherical lenses, and the fifth lens 301 , the seventh lens 303 , and the eighth lens 304 meet the following requirements:

[0112] 1.437≤nd5≤1.497;81.607≤vd5≤95.099;

[0113] 1.437≤nd7≤1.497;81.607≤vd7≤95.099;

[0114] 2.001≤nd8≤2.050;17.303≤vd8≤28.284;

[0115] Wherein, nd5, nd7 and nd8 represent the refractive indices of the fifth lens 301, the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 respectively, and vd5, vd7 and vd8 represent the Abbe numbers of the fifth lens 301, the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 respectively.

[0116] For the zoom lens group 30, after the light passes through the focusing lens group 10, despite the correction of the aspherical lens in front, the overall chromatic aberration of the light is still very large. In order to eliminate the chromatic aberration, the fifth lens 301 uses a material with a high Abbe number. After the light enters the zoom lens group 30, it is achromatic, reducing the influence of the zoom lens group 30 on its chromatic aberration.

[0117] According to the achromatic aberration requirements for doublets, a doublet lens with a certain optical power can only be achromatized by using two different glasses (the Abbe number of the front lens of the doublet is not equal to the Abbe number of the rear lens of the doublet). Furthermore, to minimize the focal power of the front lens and the rear lens of the doublet, the difference in the Abbe constants of the two glasses should be as large as possible. Crown glass and flint glass are commonly used. The former has a higher Abbe number, while the latter has a lower one. Therefore, in the doublet lens consisting of the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304, using a combination with a large difference in Abbe number can further eliminate chromatic aberration in the optical system, thereby achieving full confocality in the 436nm to 870nm band.

[0118] Optionally, when the eighth lens 304 has positive power, the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 can be used separately. The fixed lens group 40 includes an aspherical lens. This aspherical lens can effectively correct aberrations and reduce the CRA (chief ray angle) before light reaches the image plane, effectively improving image quality and compatibility with most 1 / 1.8" chips on the market.

[0119] Optionally, the focal length of the doublet lens formed by the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 and the focal length of the zoom lens group 30 satisfy the following relationship:

[0120] -2.205≤F78 / F2q≤0.972;

[0121] Wherein, F78 represents the focal length of the doublet lens composed of the seventh lens 303 and the eighth lens 304 , and F2q represents the focal length of the variator lens group 30 .

[0122] During the zooming process of the zoom lens, the zoom lens group 30 is responsible for zooming the lens. The use of aspherical lenses and cemented lenses can correct the chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations generated in the zoom lens group 30, greatly reducing the aberration pressure of other groups of the zoom lens at different focal lengths, thereby achieving focusing of the zoom lens at the full focal length.

[0123] Optionally, the focal length of the doublet lens formed by the second lens 102 and the third lens 103 and the focal length of the focusing lens group 10 satisfy the following relationship:

[0124] -3.862≤F23 / F1q≤-1.436;

[0125] Wherein, F23 represents the focal length of the doublet lens composed of the second lens 102 and the third lens 103 , and F1q represents the focal length of the focusing lens group 10 .

[0126] By using the above focal length combination in the focus lens group 10 of the zoom lens, light can pass through the front end of the lens smoothly, and before the light enters the zoom lens group 30, the chromatic aberration and aberration generated at the front end are reduced, further improving the image quality.

[0127] Optionally, the total length of the zoom lens and the moving distance of the zoom lens group 30 satisfy the following relationship:

[0128] 2.837≤TTL / S2≤2.898;

[0129] Here, TTL represents the total length of the zoom lens, and S2 represents the maximum moving distance of the zoom lens group 30 .

[0130] The limitation of the zoom lens group 30 and the total length of the lens can compress the lens space, ensuring that the required imaging quality and zoom level are met under the condition of a small lens volume.

[0131] In an embodiment of the present invention, the aspherical lens of the zoom lens satisfies the following formula:

[0132] ;

[0133] Where Z is the axial distance from the surface at a height r perpendicular to the optical axis to the vertex of the surface along the optical axis; c represents the curvature at the vertex of the aspheric surface; k is the fitting cone coefficient; 、 、 、 、 、 are the high-order aspheric coefficients corresponding to the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, and fourteenth orders of the aspheric surface, Combined into high-order terms corresponding to aspheric surfaces.
