[0064] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings only illustrate portions relevant to the present invention, not all structures.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end provided by the first embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the zoom lens at the telephoto end provided by the first embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The zoom lens includes a first fixed lens group G1 with positive optical focal length, a first zoom lens group G2 with negative optical focal length, a second fixed lens group G3 with positive optical focal length, a focusing lens group G4 with negative optical focal length, a second zoom lens group G5 with positive optical focal length, and a third fixed lens group G6 with negative optical focal length, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis.

[0067] The first fixed lens group G1 includes a first lens L1 with negative optical focal power, a second lens L2 with positive optical focal power, a third lens L3 with positive optical focal power and a fourth lens L4 with positive optical focal power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; the first zoom lens group G2 includes a fifth lens L5 with negative optical focal power, a sixth lens L6 with negative optical focal power and a seventh lens L7 with positive optical focal power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; the second fixed lens group G3 includes an eighth lens L8 with positive optical focal power, a ninth lens L9 with positive or negative optical focal power, a tenth lens L10 with negative optical focal power and an eleventh lens L11 with positive optical focal power, which are arranged in sequence from the object side to the image side along the optical axis; the third fixed lens group G6 includes a fourteenth lens L14 with negative optical focal power.

[0068] An embodiment of the present invention provides a six-component zoom lens, including a first fixed lens group G1, a first zoom lens group G2, a second fixed lens group G3, a focusing lens group G4, a second zoom lens group G5, and a third fixed lens group G6. By changing the positions of the first zoom lens group G2, the second fixed lens group G3, and the focusing lens group G4 on the optical axis, the zoom lens can be switched between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end. Among them, the first fixed lens group G1 can adjust the distortion of the zoom lens and improve the imaging effect of the zoom lens; the negative optical focal length of the first zoom lens group G2 can ensure that the light has a larger diameter before entering the aperture, thereby increasing the aperture of the zoom lens. The zoom lens achieves short-focus confocality in the 436nm-850nm band under a 1 / 1.8″ target surface, and has a larger aperture and higher image quality, which is suitable for usage needs in a wider range of situations.

[0069] Optionally, the focusing lens group G4 includes a twelfth lens L12 with negative optical power; the second zoom lens group G5 includes a thirteenth lens L13 with positive optical power; and the thirteenth lens L13 is a glass aspherical lens. The focusing lens group G4 and the second zoom lens group G5 only include one lens. The single lens group structure can control the volume of the group itself, thereby obtaining a larger movable distance in the overall structure of the zoom lens, increasing the variable magnification range of the zoom lens, and broadening the application scenarios of the zoom lens. The lenses in the second zoom lens group G5 are glass aspherical lenses. The second zoom lens group G5 with a longer stroke needs to compensate for the aberrations of the entire zoom lens during movement. The use of aspherical lenses has better compensation effects and higher imaging quality.

[0070] Optionally, the fourteenth lens L14 is a concave-convex lens, and / or the twelfth lens L12 is a concave-concave lens. The object-side surface of the concave-convex lens is concave toward the object side, and the image-side surface of the concave-convex lens is convex toward the image side. The concave-concave lens is a biconcave lens. The concave-concave lens of the twelfth lens L12 can ensure that the zoom lens has a good zoom effect; the fourteenth lens L14 serves as the third fixed lens group G6, and the fourteenth lens L14 is a concave-convex lens, which can control the emission angle of the rear end pipeline of the zoom lens, achieving a larger light height at the image plane, meeting the requirements of large target surface use.

[0071] Optionally, the focal length of the first fixed lens group G1 is F1, the focal length of the first zoom lens group G2 is F2, the focal length of the second fixed lens group G3 is F3, the focal length of the focus lens group G4 is F4, the focal length of the second zoom lens group G5 is F5, the focal length of the third fixed lens group G6 is F6, and the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is FW, satisfying at least one of the following conditions: ; ; ; ; ; By using this focal length combination, a reasonable combination of optical powers is achieved, allowing light to pass through the zoom lens more smoothly, and to a large extent correcting the impact of the zoom lens's advanced aberrations on image quality.

[0072] Optionally, the distance between the closest position to the image plane and the farthest position from the image plane of the focus lens group G4 during movement is S4, and the distance between the closest position to the image plane and the farthest position from the image plane of the second zoom lens group G5 during movement is S5, satisfying: By controlling the travel ratio of the focus lens group G4 and the second zoom lens group G5 during movement, the focus lens group G4 and the second zoom lens group G5 can overlap in their moving areas, but they will not collide during zooming, thus minimizing the size of the zoom lens.

[0073] Optionally, the zoom lens further includes an aperture STO, located between the first zoom lens group G2 and the second fixed lens group G3; the eighth lens L8 is a glass aspherical lens; and the second fixed lens group G3 includes a cemented lens group consisting of at least two lenses. Light passing through the aperture STO generates higher-order aberrations, and the best way to reduce these aberrations at the rear end is to reduce them at the front end. The eighth lens L8 is a glass aspherical lens, which has a good correction effect on higher-order aberrations. Combined with the cemented lens group in the second fixed lens group G3, this not only improves image quality but also corrects the aberrations of the second fixed lens group G3 itself, ensuring that the zoom lens maintains high image quality throughout the entire zooming process.

[0074] Illustratively, the cemented lens group in the second fixed lens group G3 may include two adjacent lenses, three adjacent lenses, or four adjacent lenses among the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, the tenth lens L10, and the eleventh lens L11. In one example, the tenth lens L10 and the eleventh lens L11 form a cemented lens group.

[0075] Optionally, the refractive index of the fifth lens L5 is nd5, the refractive index of the sixth lens L6 is nd6, the refractive index of the seventh lens L7 is nd7, the refractive index of the eighth lens L8 is nd8, the refractive index of the fourteenth lens L14 is nd14, the Abbe number of the fifth lens L5 is vd5, the Abbe number of the sixth lens L6 is vd6, the Abbe number of the seventh lens L7 is vd7, the Abbe number of the eighth lens L8 is vd8, and the Abbe number of the fourteenth lens L14 is vd14, satisfying at least one of the following conditions:

[0076] ; ;

[0077] ; ;

[0078] ; ;

[0079] ; ;

[0080] ; .

[0081] In the zoom lens, the first zoom lens group G2 in front of the aperture STO plays a leading role in adjusting the lens magnification. The use of the above-mentioned refractive index material in combination with the optical focal length of the lens can not only correct the aberrations but also control the high and low temperature conditions of the zoom lens. At the same time, the volume of the first zoom lens group G2 is reduced, leaving more room for movement in the zoom lens, expanding the lens magnification while meeting the use requirements under different temperature conditions. In addition, the setting of the eighth lens L8 in the second fixed lens group G3 also has the same effect. The fourteenth lens L14 in the third fixed lens group G6 uses the above-mentioned refractive index material, which can be combined with the shape of the lens to better control the output angle of the zoom lens light, and control the imaging quality and target surface size of the zoom lens.

[0082] Optionally, the zoom lens further includes an aperture STO, which is located between the first zoom lens group G2 and the second fixed lens group G3. When the zoom lens has a focal length of FW at the wide-angle end, a diameter of an image formed by the aperture STO relative to the first fixed lens group G1 and the first zoom lens group G2 at the wide-angle end is EPDW, satisfying: Placing the aperture STO between the first zoom lens group G2 and the second fixed lens group G3 can balance the lens aberrations and prevent the problem of high-order aberrations generated by the lens being unable to be corrected at the rear end of the lens, which would lead to a decrease in the imaging quality of the zoom lens. Ensuring the ratio of the focal length at the wide-angle end of the zoom lens to the entrance pupil diameter at the wide-angle end of the zoom lens can control the imaging condition of the zoom lens and meet the needs of use in darker environments.

[0083] Optionally, the maximum lens diameter in the focus lens group G4 is ΦG1, and the total optical length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is TTL, satisfying: This setting can control the size of the lens, making the zoom lens more compact while maximizing the field of view and light intake of the zoom lens to meet the needs of use in different environments.

[0084] Optionally, the sixth lens L6 is a glass aspherical lens; and / or the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are cemented to form a cemented lens group.

[0085] In the zoom lens provided in this embodiment, the first fixed lens group G1, the first zoom lens group G2, the second fixed lens group G3, the focus lens group G4, the second zoom lens group G5 and the third fixed lens group G6 can be arranged in one lens barrel ( Figure 1 The first fixed lens group G1, the second fixed lens group G3, and the third fixed lens group G6 are fixed in position within the lens barrel, while the first zoom lens group G2, the focus lens group G4, and the second zoom lens group G5 can reciprocate along the optical axis within the lens barrel. Through the combined movement of the first zoom lens group G2, the focus lens group G4, and the second zoom lens group G5, the focal length of the zoom lens can be continuously changed from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, ensuring high image quality at all focal positions of the zoom lens.

[0086] It can be understood that in the process of zooming of the zoom lens by moving the first zoom lens group G2, the focusing lens group G4 and the second zoom lens group G5, when the focal length is the shortest, the zoom lens is located at the wide-angle end, and when the focal length is the longest, the zoom lens is located at the telephoto end. At the wide-angle end and the telephoto end, the zoom lens has different focal lengths and optical focal powers, and also has different lengths or shapes.

[0087] For example, the zoom lens may further include a flat glass plate CG. The flat glass plate CG is located on the side of the fourteenth lens L14 away from the first lens L1 and on the side of the fourteenth lens L14 closer to the image plane to protect the photosensitive chip in the imaging sensor. The photosensitive chip is used to convert the light signals collected by the zoom lens into electrical signals, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the zoom lens.

[0088] Exemplarily, the aspheric lens (including a glass aspheric lens) of the zoom lens satisfies the following formula:

[0089]

[0090] 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; are the high-order aspheric coefficients corresponding to the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth orders of the aspheric surface, The combination becomes the high-order terms corresponding to the aspheric surface. They are 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 respectively.

[0091] Table 1: Design values ​​of the zoom lens in Example 1

[0092]

[0093] Table 1 shows a design value of the zoom lens in Example 1. The specific value can be adjusted according to product requirements and is not a limitation of the embodiment of the present invention. The zoom lens shown in Table 1 can be Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in . A lens generally consists of two surfaces, each of which is a refractive surface. The surface numbers in Table 1 are numbered according to the surface of each lens. Surface number 1 represents the front surface (i.e., object side) of the first lens L1, surface number 2 represents the back surface (i.e., image side) of the first lens L1, and so on. The radius of curvature represents the degree of curvature of the lens surface. A positive radius of curvature indicates that the center of curvature is on the side of the surface closest to the image plane IMA, meaning that the surface is curved toward the image plane IMA; a negative radius of curvature indicates that the center of curvature is on the side of the surface away from the image plane IMA, meaning that the surface is curved toward the object plane. "Inf" in the Radius of Curvature column indicates that the surface is flat and has an infinite radius of curvature. The unit is mm. The value in the Thickness column represents the axial distance from the current surface to the center of the next surface, in mm. The Refractive Index column indicates the refractive index of the medium between the current and next surfaces, representing the light-bending ability of the material between the current and next surfaces. The blank space in the Refractive Index column represents the refractive index of air, which is 1. The Abbe number represents the dispersion characteristics of light from the material between the current surface and the next surface, and the blank space indicates that the current position is air.

[0094] Table 2 Zoom interval design values ​​of the zoom lens in Example 1

[0095]

[0096] The zoom intervals in Table 2 are the different interval values ​​of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end and the telephoto end.

[0097] Table 3 Aspheric coefficients of the zoom lens in Example 1

[0098]

[0099] The meaning of the "surface number" column in Table 3 is consistent with that in Table 1. For example, surface number 3 also represents the front surface of the second lens L2. "E" in each embodiment of the present invention represents an index with base 10.

[0100] For example, in Example 1, the maximum diameter of the image plane of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is 9.2 mm, and the maximum diameter of the image plane at the telephoto end is 9.2 mm. The focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is 6.8 mm, and the focal length at the telephoto end is 115.71 mm. The zoom lens is applicable to the wavelength range of 436 nm to 850 nm at the wide-angle end, and to the wavelength range of 436 nm to 656 nm at the telephoto end. The F / # (i.e., F-number) of the zoom lens is 1.61 to 3.52. The total optical length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle and telephoto ends is 92.48 mm.

[0101] Figure 3 The axial aberration curve of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is shown. The main wavelength is 546.074nm. The horizontal direction represents the axial offset relative to the specified target surface, and the unit is millimeter (mm). Figure 3 It can be seen that the axial aberrations at different wavelengths and normalized apertures of 0 to 1.0 are all controlled within a reasonable range, indicating that the axial chromatic aberration of this zoom lens at the wide-angle end is well controlled, meeting the basic requirements for clear night imaging and achieving clear imaging across the entire band.

[0102] like Figure 4-Figure 9 As shown. The horizontal axis is the normalized beam aperture, and the vertical axis is the vertical axis aberration. Ideally, each curve should completely coincide with the horizontal axis, at which point all light rays in the field of view focus on the same point on the image plane; the vertical axis can also be expressed as the maximum dispersion range of the light beam on the ideal image plane. The light fan diagram can not only reflect the monochromatic aberration of different wavelengths, but also indicate the magnitude of the vertical axis chromatic aberration. Figure 4-Figure 9 As can be seen, this zoom lens's curves for all wavelengths in all fields of view are very close to the horizontal axis, indicating that vertical aberrations at each wavelength are well corrected. Furthermore, the curves for each color have no noticeable dispersion, indicating that this zoom lens also effectively corrects chromatic aberration, ensuring the lens's ability to produce clear images across the entire wavelength range.

[0103] Figure 10The vertical axis chromatic aberration curve of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is shown. The vertical direction represents the normalized aperture, 0 represents the optical axis, and the vertical axis vertex represents the maximum field of view. The main wavelength is 546.074nm, and the horizontal direction represents the offset relative to the main wavelength in micrometers (um). Figure 10 It can be seen that the vertical chromatic aberration at different wavelengths is controlled within a reasonable range, indicating that the vertical chromatic aberration of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end is well controlled and can meet the needs of wide-spectrum applications across the entire band.

[0104] Figure 11 The axial aberration curve of the zoom lens at the telephoto end is shown, with the main wavelength being 546.074nm. The horizontal direction represents the axial offset relative to the specified target surface, in millimeters (mm). Figure 11 It can be seen that the axial aberrations at different wavelengths and normalized apertures of 0 to 1.0 are all controlled within a reasonable range, indicating that the axial chromatic aberration of this zoom lens at the wide-angle end is well controlled, meeting the basic requirements for clear nighttime imaging and achieving clear imaging across the entire visible light band.

[0105] like Figure 12-17 As shown. The horizontal axis in the figure is the normalized beam aperture, and the vertical axis is the vertical axis aberration. Ideally, each curve should completely coincide with the horizontal axis, at which point all light rays in the field of view focus on the same point on the image plane; the vertical axis can also be expressed as the maximum dispersion range of the light beam on the ideal image plane. The light fan diagram can not only reflect the monochromatic aberration of different wavelengths, but also indicate the size of the vertical axis chromatic aberration. Figure 12-17 As can be seen, this zoom lens's curves for all wavelengths in all fields of view are closely aligned with the horizontal axis, indicating that vertical aberrations at each wavelength are well corrected. Furthermore, the curves for each color exhibit no significant dispersion, demonstrating that chromatic aberration is well corrected, ensuring the zoom lens's ability to produce clear images across the entire visible light band.

[0106] Figure 18 The vertical axis chromatic aberration curve of the zoom lens at the telephoto end is shown.
