[0049] The optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention comprises seven lenses, which are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the imaging plane as follows: a first lens, a second lens, a third lens, a fourth lens, a fifth lens, a sixth lens, and a seventh lens.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first lens may have negative optical power, its object-side surface may be concave or convex, and its image-side surface may be concave. The second lens may have positive optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be concave. The third lens may have positive optical power, its object-side surface may be convex, and its image-side surface may be convex.

[0051] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include an aperture, which may be located between the third lens and the fourth lens. It can be understood that the aperture is used to limit the amount of incident light to change the brightness of the image.

[0052] In some embodiments, the optical lens may further include a filter, which is 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.

[0053] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 45° < (f × FOV) / IH < 46°. By satisfying the above conditional formula and reasonably restricting the relationship between the focal length, field angle, and image height of the optical lens, it is beneficial to achieve the balance between the field angle of the optical lens and the imaging surface, and better meet the usage requirements of high image quality and wide-angle shooting of the drone in outdoor environments.

[0054] In some embodiments, the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 3.8 < TTL / f < 3.9. By satisfying the above conditions, the length of the lens can be effectively restricted, which is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0055] In some embodiments, the back focal length BFL of the optical lens and the overall optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.08 < BFL / TTL < 0.12. By satisfying the above conditions and reasonably configuring the ratio of the back focal length of the optical lens to the overall optical length of the optical lens, it is beneficial to achieve a short back focus of the optical lens. Under the condition of ensuring sufficient space for the installation and focusing of optical elements, it is beneficial to the miniaturization of the optical lens.

[0056] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f1 of the first lens satisfy: -2.4 < f1 / f < -2. By satisfying the above conditions, the first lens has a negative optical power, which can regulate the optical path, and by reasonably setting the focal length of the first lens, the field angle of the imaging system can be increased.

[0057] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f3 of the third lens satisfy: 1.2 < f3 / f < 1.4. The third lens that satisfies the above conditions can balance the optical power, control the back focus shift at high and low temperatures, and avoid defocusing.

[0058] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R13 of the object side surface of the seventh lens and the radius of curvature R14 of the image side surface of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.9 < (R13 + R14) / (R13 - R14) < 5.2. Meeting the above conditions and the shape of the seventh lens can be in the shape of M, which is beneficial to increasing the CRA and adapting to a specific sensor (such as IMX586).

[0059] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.4 < f1 / f7 < 0.8. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal length ratio of the first and last lenses, the lens can have a smaller head size while having a larger imaging surface, better meeting the balance of miniaturization and high pixel count.

[0060] In some embodiments, the combined focal length f13 of the first lens, the second lens and the third lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.3 < f13 / f < 1.7. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the focal length of the lens group in front of the aperture, it is beneficial to reduce various aberrations generated by the front-end lens group and improve the overall imaging quality.

[0061] In some embodiments, the sagittal height SAG71 of the object side light-passing semi-aperture of the seventh lens, the sagittal height SAG72 of the image side light-passing semi-aperture of the seventh lens and the central thickness CT7 of the seventh lens satisfy: -0.1 < (SAG72 - SAG71) / CT7 < 0.1. Meeting the above conditions, by controlling the ratio of the difference in sagittal heights of the two sides of the seventh lens to its central thickness, it is convenient for the processing and forming of the seventh lens and is beneficial to reducing the sensitivity of the seventh lens, and further better balancing the relationship between the miniaturization of the optical lens and the relative illumination of the off-axis field of view.

[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: 4.5 < IH / EPD < 4.6. Meeting the above range enables the optical lens to satisfy a large image surface while also ensuring sufficient image surface brightness in the edge field of view, preventing the occurrence of vignetting phenomenon, thereby improving the imaging quality.

[0063] In some embodiments, the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 2.05 < IH / f < 2.1. Meeting the above conditions can achieve a larger field angle and imaging range, and can achieve the characteristics of a large image surface while ensuring the depth of field of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging quality of the optical system.

[0064] In some embodiments, the total optical length TTL of the optical lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1.8 < TTL / IH < 1.9. Meeting the above conditions can better achieve the miniaturization of the lens. At the same time, when ensuring the same total length of the lens, it has a larger image plane, can match a larger-sized imaging chip to achieve high-definition imaging.

[0065] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 2.1 < f4 / f < 3.3. Meeting the above conditions, the fourth lens has a positive optical power, which can further focus light, optimize the imaging quality, and correct the remaining aberrations (such as distortion, chromatic aberration, etc.), thereby ensuring the imaging clarity and color restoration.

[0066] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f5 of the fifth lens satisfy: 2 < f5 / f < 2.7. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the proportion of the focal length of the fifth lens, it is beneficial to the smooth transition of light, facilitates the correction of astigmatism and field curvature, improves the imaging quality of the optical lens, and ensures the stability of the optical system.

[0067] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens and the focal length f6 of the sixth lens satisfy: -1.8 < f6 / f < -1.3. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the sixth lens to have a negative optical power, the beam diameter can be reduced, and the size of the subsequent lens group can be reduced.

[0068] In some embodiments, the focal length f7 of the seventh lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: -5.3 < f7 / f < -2.8. Meeting the above conditions, by setting the seventh lens to have a large negative optical power, the incident light can be diverged to a large extent, making the peripheral light and the central light turn upwards, reaching a higher imaging position, better achieving the large target surface imaging of the lens, and improving the imaging quality.

[0069] In some embodiments, the curvature radius R3 of the object side of the second lens and the curvature radius R4 of the image side of the second lens satisfy: 1 < R3 / R4 < 1.3. By making the optical system meet the above relational expression, it is beneficial to the reasonable configuration of the ratio of the curvature radius of the object side of the second lens and the curvature radius of the image side of the second lens, controls the shape of the second lens, comprehensively balances the spherical aberration, chromatic aberration and field curvature of the optical system, reduces the risk of ghosting, improves the resolution ability of the optical system. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the processing difficulty of the second lens.

[0070] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R5 of the object side surface of the third lens and the radius of curvature R6 of the image side surface of the third lens satisfy: -1.3 < R5 / R6 < -0.9; the radius of curvature R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the radius of curvature R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens satisfy: -0.6 < R7 / R8 < -0.1. The surface shapes of the third lens and the fourth lens that meet the above conditions can balance the field curvature of the system and avoid deterioration of the edge image quality.

[0071] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R11 of the object side surface of the sixth lens and the radius of curvature R12 of the image side surface of the sixth lens satisfy: -0.6 < R11 / R12 < -0.3. The shape of the sixth lens is concave-concave. Meeting the above conditions enables the smooth transition of the converging light with a large front aperture, helps balance various aberrations, and reduces the lens sensitivity to a certain extent.

[0072] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R1 of the object side surface of the first lens and the radius of curvature R2 of the image side surface of the first lens satisfy: 0.7 < (R1 + R2) / (R1 - R2) < 1.2. Meeting the above conditions and reasonably setting the radii of curvature of the object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens helps to achieve a larger field angle.

[0073] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R7 of the object side surface of the fourth lens and the radius of curvature R8 of the image side surface of the fourth lens satisfy: -0.8 < (R7 + R8) / (R7 - R8) < -0.2. Meeting the above range can reduce the light deflection angle, make the light trend smoother; at the same time, it can correct coma and field curvature, improve the flatness of imaging, and enhance the imaging quality of the optical lens.

[0074] In some embodiments, the radius of curvature R2 of the image side surface of the first lens and the effective focal length f of the optical lens satisfy: 1 < R2 / f < 1.5. The image side surface of the first lens meeting the above conditions can reduce the incident angle of the light at the edge field of view, match the CRA tolerance of the microlens of the CMOS sensor, and avoid attenuation of the edge pixel signals.

[0075] In some embodiments, the focal length f1 of the first lens and the focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy: -0.1 < f1 / f2 < 0. When the optical power of the first lens is negative, it ensures that the optical power of the second lens is positive, thereby effectively controlling the volume of the optical system. The first lens and the second lens have opposite optical powers, enabling the optical system to have a better ability to balance aberrations.

[0076] In some embodiments, the sum ∑CT 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: 0.3 < ∑CT / TTL < 0.7. Meeting the above conditions can effectively compress the total length of the optical lens, and is conducive to the structural design and production process of the optical lens.

[0077] In some embodiments, the edge thickness ET7 and the central thickness CT7 of the seventh lens satisfy: 0.9 < ET7 / CT7 < 1.1. Meeting the above conditions can keep the edge thickness and the centroid thickness of the seventh lens within a reasonable range, thereby ensuring that the seventh lens has good optical performance and molding yield, and at the same time ensuring good assembly stability of the seventh lens.

[0078] In some embodiments, the distance CT23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis and the total optical length TTL of the optical lens satisfy: 0.05 < CT23 / TTL < 0.15. Meeting the above conditions is beneficial to reducing the sensitivity of the front and rear group air spacing tolerance and improving the lens production yield.

[0079] In some embodiments, the clear aperture radius DM11 of the object side of the first lens and the clear aperture radius DM72 of the image side of the seventh lens satisfy: 1.4 < DM11 / DM72 < 1.7. Meeting the above conditions, by reasonably setting the ratio of the apertures of the first and last lenses, the lens can have a smaller head size while having a larger imaging surface, and can better meet the balance of miniaturization and high pixels.

[0080] In some embodiments, the effective focal length f of the optical lens, the maximum field angle FOV of the optical lens, and the true image height IH corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens satisfy: 1.03 < (2×f×tan(FOV / 2)) / IH < 1.04. Meeting the above conditions indicates that the distortion of the optical lens < 4%, and the lens can have a smaller distortion value and provide a high-definition imaging effect.

[0081] In some embodiments, the chief ray angle of incidence CRA at the maximum image height of the optical lens satisfies: 33° < CRA < 38°. Meeting the above conditions and making the CRA angle larger can be adapted to a specific sensor (such as IMX586).

[0082] In some embodiments, the optical lens satisfies the conditional formula: 3.9mm < f < 4mm, 15mm < TTL < 16mm, 2.1 < Fno < 2.3, 8mm < IH < 8.5mm, 94° < FOV < 95°, where f represents the effective focal length of the optical lens, TTL represents the overall optical length of the optical lens, Fno represents the aperture value of the optical lens, IH represents the true image height corresponding to the maximum field angle of the optical lens, and FOV represents the maximum field angle of the optical lens. Meeting the above conditions indicates that the optical lens provided by the embodiments of the present invention: has a relatively small overall optical length; has the characteristics of short focal length and wide angle. The depth of field of a short focal length lens is relatively deep, and both the front and back of the subject can remain relatively clear; can have a relatively large field angle, providing a wider shooting field of view for lenses in scenarios such as drones and capturing more image information; has a relatively large imaging surface, can be matched with a larger size chip to achieve high-definition imaging; has a relatively large aperture, and can achieve high-definition imaging even in complex light environments.

[0083] In some embodiments, all seven lenses in the optical lens can be made of plastic lenses or adopt a structure with a combination of glass and plastic materials. Preferably, the optical lens of the present invention adopts a structure of seven lenses with a combination of glass and plastic, which can improve the thermal stability performance. Specifically, the third lens can be made of a glass lens, and the first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens are all plastic lenses; adopting a glass-plastic hybrid structure can effectively reduce costs, correct aberrations, reduce the volume, and provide an optical lens product with higher cost performance.

[0084] 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 the size of the lenses, and better realizing the miniaturization of the lens. More specifically, the third lens in the optical lens provided by the present invention adopts a spherical lens; the first lens, the second lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, the sixth lens, and the seventh lens all adopt aspherical lenses.

[0085] 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 equations: ; where z is the distance between the curved surface and the vertex of the curved surface in the optical axis direction, h is the distance from the optical axis to the curved surface, c is the curvature of the vertex of the curved surface, K is the conic coefficient, and B, C, D, E, F, G, H are the coefficients of the fourth-order, sixth-order, eighth-order, tenth-order, twelfth-order, fourteenth-order, and sixteenth-order curved surfaces respectively.

[0086] 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.

As can be seen from the figure, the relative illumination value of the optical lens is still greater than 0.4 at the maximum half-image height, indicating that the optical lens 100 has good relative illumination.

[0095] Figure 5 The diagram shows the MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) curve of the optical lens 100 in Embodiment 1, which represents the lens imaging modulation at different spatial frequencies in various fields of view. The horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency (unit: lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the OTF coefficient.
