[0002] As society continues to develop, the types of lenses have also become increasingly diverse. Medium to long telephoto lenses, capable of capturing objects at greater distances, are widely used in fields such as surveillance. With rising demands for image quality, and because small aperture lenses cannot adequately meet the needs of shooting in low-light environments, large apertures have become a trend in photographic lens products.

[0047] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a fixed-focus lens provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first lens group S1, a second lens group S2, and a third lens group S3 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The first lens group S1 includes a first lens 101 and a second lens 102 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The first lens 101 is a negative power lens, and the second lens 102 is a positive power lens. The second lens group S2 includes a third lens 103, a fourth lens 104, and a fifth lens 105 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The third lens 103 has a positive power, the fourth lens 104 has a positive power, and the fifth lens 105 has a negative power. The third lens group S3 includes a sixth lens 106 and a seventh lens 107 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The sixth lens 106 has a positive power, and the seventh lens 107 has a negative power. The power of the first lens group S1 is... The optical power of the second lens group S2 is: The optical power of the third lens group S3 is: The optical power of a fixed-focus lens is in,
[0050] like Figure 1As shown, the fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes three lens groups with a total of seven lenses with optical power. The arrangement of seven lenses with optical power ensures that the number of lenses in the fixed-focus lens is reasonable. Too many lenses will result in a large lens size, and too few lenses will result in a large aberration due to a single lens bearing a large optical power. This ensures that the fixed-focus lens is miniaturized while ensuring small imaging aberrations and high imaging quality.
[0051] Furthermore, optical power is equal to the difference between the convergence of the beam at the image plane and the convergence of the beam at the object plane, characterizing the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of the optical power, the stronger the bending ability of light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the bending ability. When the optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when the optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. Optical power can be used to characterize a single refractive surface of a lens (i.e., a surface of the lens), a single lens, or a system formed by multiple lenses (i.e., a lens group). In this embodiment of the invention, the optical power of the first lens group S1 is negative, and the first lens group S1 includes a first lens 101 with negative optical power and a second lens 102 with positive optical power. The first lens 101, as the lens that first adjusts the incident light in the optical lens, has a negative optical power setting that ensures a larger aperture before the light enters the aperture stop, increasing the aperture of the optical lens and enabling the lens to still form a clear image under dim or dark conditions. The second lens 102 with positive optical power can promptly correct the large aberrations produced by the first lens 101, especially effectively correcting the edge aberrations of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging resolution of the optical system. The second lens group S2 has either negative or positive optical power and includes a third lens 103 with positive optical power, a fourth lens 104 with positive optical power, and a fifth lens 105 with negative optical power. The third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104 with positive optical power can further promptly correct the large aberrations produced by the first lens 101 and effectively correct the edge aberrations of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging resolution of the optical system. The fifth lens 105 is a negative optical power lens. Combined with the positive optical power settings of the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104, the optical power of each subsequent lens in the optical path is different from that of the preceding lens, which is beneficial for aberration correction. Furthermore, by setting the first lens 101 as a negative optical power lens, the second lens 102 as a positive optical power lens, and the third lens 103 as a positive optical power lens, axial chromatic aberration can be corrected and a large aperture can be achieved, ensuring the overall large aperture performance of the fixed-focus lens. The optical power of the third lens group S3 is positive, and the third lens group S3 includes a sixth lens 106 with positive optical power and a seventh lens 107 with negative optical power. Combined with the negative optical power setting of the fifth lens 105, the optical power of each subsequent lens in the optical path is different from that of the preceding lens, further realizing the correction of aberrations.
[0052] Furthermore, the optical power of the first lens group The optical power of the second lens group The optical power of the third lens group And the optical power of prime lenses satisfy
[0053] The optical power of the first lens group S1, the second lens group S2, and the third lens group S3 in the fixed-focus lens has a reasonable distribution ratio, which allows light to pass between different lens groups with a small deflection angle, effectively controlling the introduction of system aberrations and facilitating the realization of ultra-high-definition imaging effects of the fixed-focus lens.
[0054] In summary, the fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention, by reasonably setting the number of lens groups and the number of lenses, ensures a suitable overall length for the fixed-focus lens, which is beneficial for achieving miniaturized lens design. Furthermore, the optical power of the seven lenses is arranged in a negative-positive-positive-positive-negative-positive-negative pattern, and the optical power of the first lens group is... The optical power of the second lens group The optical power of the third lens group And the optical power of prime lenses satisfy
[0055] By rationally combining the optical power of three lens groups and seven lenses, light can transition between different lens groups with a small deflection angle, effectively controlling system aberrations and enabling fixed-focus lenses to achieve ultra-high-definition imaging effects. This results in a fixed-focus lens with an imaging target surface that can match a 1 / 2.7-inch chip, an aperture no larger than 1.28, an infrared defocus (850nm) no larger than 10μm, a total optical length no larger than 22.5mm, and a resolution that can match an 8MP pixel chip.
[0056] Further reference Figure 1 As shown, the fixed-focus lens of this embodiment may further include an aperture stop STO and a filter 108. The aperture stop STO is disposed in the optical path between the second lens 102 and the third lens 103, and the filter 108 is disposed in the optical path between the seventh lens 107 and the image plane. The aperture stop STO can adjust the propagation direction of the light beam, which is beneficial for improving image quality. Furthermore, in this fixed-focus lens, the aperture stop STO, disposed in the optical system, can limit the beam size and control the amount of light transmitted through the lens, thus facilitating a reduction in aperture value and achieving a large aperture. The filter 108 can filter out stray light, improving the imaging effect.
[0057] Furthermore, the optical lens provided in this embodiment of the invention may also include a protective glass and an imaging sensor. The protective glass may be disposed on the image-side of the filter, and the imaging sensor may be disposed on the image-side of the protective glass. The optical system is protected by the protective glass, and the image is acquired by the imaging sensor, thus enabling the optical system to perform its normal imaging function.
[0058] Based on the above embodiments, the optical power of the first lens 101 is: The optical power of the second lens 102 is The optical power of the third lens 103 is: The optical power of the fourth lens 104 is The optical power of the fifth lens 105 is The optical power of the sixth lens 106 is The optical power of the seventh lens 107 is in,
[0059] By properly setting the optical power values of each lens or lens group, the direction of light can be effectively controlled, the field curvature and spherical aberration of the optical system can be reduced, the tolerance sensitivity of the fixed-focus lens can be reduced, and the image quality of the optical system can be improved.
[0060] Based on the above embodiments, the first lens 101 includes a first object-side surface near the object plane and a first image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the first object-side surface is convex and the first image-side surface is concave; the second lens 102 includes a second object-side surface near the object plane and a second image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the second object-side surface is concave and the second image-side surface is convex; the third lens 103 includes a third object-side surface near the object plane and a third image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the third object-side surface is convex and the third image-side surface is concave; and the fourth lens 104 includes a fourth object-side surface near the object plane. The fifth lens 105 includes a fifth object-side surface near the object plane and a fifth image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are convex. The fifth object-side surface is convex, and the fifth image-side surface is concave. The sixth lens 106 includes a sixth object-side surface near the object plane and a sixth image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are convex. The seventh lens 107 includes a seventh object-side surface near the object plane and a seventh image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are convex.
[0061] Specifically, the object-side surface of a lens can be understood as the surface of the lens closest to the object plane, and the image-side surface of a lens can be understood as the surface of the lens closest to the image plane.
[0062] The object-side surface of the first lens 101 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the first lens 101 convex towards the object plane near the optical axis, while the image-side surface is concave towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the first lens 101 is a lens with a convex-concave structure. Designing the object-side surface of the first lens as convex helps to converge light rays into the system as much as possible, while designing the image-side surface as concave allows light rays to enter the system at a smaller deflection angle, which is beneficial for achieving a larger aperture and smaller aberrations.
[0063] The object-side surface of the second lens 102 is concave, and the image-side surface is convex. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the second lens 102 being concave towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface being convex towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the second lens 102 is a lens with a concave-convex structure. This effectively controls the direction of light rays, reduces field curvature and spherical aberration in the optical system, and improves the image quality of the optical system.
[0064] The object-side surface of the third lens 103 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the third lens 103 bulging towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface concave towards the image plane near the optical axis; therefore, the third lens 103 is a lens with a convex-concave structure. Designing the third lens 103 as a convex-concave positive lens can effectively reduce aberrations caused by the aperture stop. The object-side surface of the fourth lens 104 is convex, and the image-side surface of the fourth lens 104 is also convex. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the fourth lens 104 bulging towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface bulging towards the image plane near the optical axis; therefore, the fourth lens 104 is a biconvex lens. Compared to designing the third lens 103 as a biconvex positive power lens, this embodiment of the invention designs the third lens 103 as a meniscus positive power lens, maintaining a reasonable distance between the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104 on the optical axis. Specifically, the distance between the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104 on the optical axis is d; where 0.01mm ≤ d ≤ 0.25mm. Simultaneously, the image-side profile of the third lens 103 and the object-side profile of the fourth lens 104 are ensured to maintain a smooth, even spacing throughout the entire aperture range. By designing the third lens 103 as described above, on the one hand, light rays from each field of view can transition from the third lens 103 to the fourth lens 104 with a small light deflection angle throughout the entire aperture range, effectively reducing the introduction of system aberrations and thus improving the system's resolution; on the other hand, designing the third lens 103 as a meniscus positive power lens can effectively balance aberrations caused by the aperture stop and also correct the field curvature of the entire optical system through this meniscus lens.
[0065] The object-side surface of the fifth lens 105 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the fifth lens 105 bulging towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface concave towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the fifth lens 105 is a lens with a convex-concave structure. Furthermore, the object-side surface of the fifth lens 105 exhibits a certain degree of curvature, which effectively controls the direction of light rays, shortens the overall optical length of the system, and makes the system structure more compact.
[0066] The object-side surface of the sixth lens 106 is convex, and the image-side surface is also convex. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the sixth lens 106 bulging towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface bulging towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the sixth lens 106 can be considered a biconvex lens. The fact that both surfaces of the sixth lens 106 are convex effectively controls the direction of light, allowing light to enter the seventh lens 107 with a smaller deflection angle, thus effectively reducing system tolerance sensitivity. Furthermore, the surface configuration of the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 ensures a small distance between them, which helps reduce the overall length of the optical system. Moreover, this surface configuration of the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106, combined with their optical power setting, not only helps balance various aberrations caused by light passing through the aperture, thereby improving the image quality of the fixed-focus lens, but also facilitates a larger aperture, ensuring clear imaging even in low-light conditions, which is beneficial for meeting the all-weather monitoring requirements of surveillance equipment.
[0067] The object-side surface of the seventh lens 107 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. This can be understood as the object-side surface of the seventh lens 107 convex towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface concave towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the seventh lens 107 is a lens with a convex-concave structure. Furthermore, the combination of the sixth lens 106 and the seventh lens 107 improves the smoothness of light transmission, reduces the probability of various aberrations, and lowers the tolerance sensitivity of the fixed-focus lens, thereby improving the assembly yield of the fixed-focus lens. It also compresses the light beam, thereby reducing the divergence angle of the principal ray to meet the CRA (principal angle) curve requirements of the image sensor located on the image plane, improving the matching degree with the image sensor.
[0068] By properly setting the concave and convex surfaces of each lens, it is possible to ensure that each lens modulates the light emission angle and reduce the spacing between adjacent lenses, which is beneficial for achieving a small-volume fixed-focus lens design.
[0069] Based on the above embodiments, the maximum effective diameter of the first lens 101 is D1, the aperture of the fixed-focus lens is Fno, and the maximum image radius of the fixed-focus lens is Ymax; wherein, 1.805≤D1 / (Fno*Ymax)≤1.925. By limiting the maximum image radius and aperture size of the optical imaging system, the effective optical diameter of the first lens 101 can be limited, thereby ensuring the miniaturization requirement of the optical system.
[0070] Based on the above embodiments, the first lens 101, the second lens 102, the third lens 103, the fifth lens 105, the sixth lens 106 and the seventh lens 107 are all plastic aspherical lenses, and the fourth lens 104 is a glass spherical lens.
[0071] Specifically, aspherical lenses are characterized by a continuous change in curvature from the center to the periphery, unlike spherical lenses which have a constant curvature from the center to the periphery. Aspherical lenses have better curvature radius characteristics, which improves distortion aberrations and astigmatism. The first lens 101, second lens 102, third lens 103, fifth lens 105, sixth lens 106, and seventh lens 107 are all plastic aspherical lenses. Using plastic aspherical lenses helps reduce the processing complexity of aspherical lenses, and the lower cost of aspherical lenses can reduce the cost of the optical system.
[0072] A key characteristic of spherical lenses is their constant curvature from the center to the periphery, ensuring a simple lens configuration. Furthermore, due to the low coefficient of thermal expansion and good stability of glass lenses, the fourth lens 104 is a glass spherical lens. The thermal properties of glass spherical lenses are more stable, ensuring good resolving power over a wide temperature range when handling higher optical powers. Moreover, the wider range of glass materials available allows for more flexible selection of refractive index and Abbe number, enabling better control over higher aberrations and chromatic aberration, thus meeting the needs of use under complex conditions.
[0073] Therefore, the fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention can adopt a combination of glass spherical lenses and plastic aspherical lenses, which can effectively control the cost of the fixed-focus lens while ensuring its optical performance; at the same time, the lens materials have a mutual compensating effect, which can ensure normal use in high and low temperature environments.
[0074] Based on the above embodiment, the Abbe number of the fourth lens 104 is VD4; where 65.52≤VD4≤98.16.
[0075] Specifically, the Abbe number is an index used to represent the dispersion capability of a transparent medium. The more severe the dispersion of the medium, the smaller the Abbe number; conversely, the less severe the dispersion, the larger the Abbe number. The fourth lens 104, which uses glass, employs a low-dispersion material to optimize the purple fringing effect at the edges of objects, better reproducing the true scene. It also provides thermal compensation for the entire optical system, ensuring stable thermal drift at high and low temperatures and guaranteeing the required resolution at these conditions. Furthermore, it smooths out light transitions, reduces the tolerance sensitivity of the optical system, and improves the assembly yield.
[0076] Based on the above embodiments, the total optical length of the fixed-focus lens is TTL, the optical back focal length is BFL, and the effective focal length is F; wherein, 0.225≤BFL / TTL≤0.285, 3.485≤TTL / F≤3.605. This facilitates the horizontal miniaturization of the fixed-focus lens.
[0077] Based on the above embodiments, the fixed-focus lens has an aperture of Fno, an infrared defocusing amount of L, and a total optical length of TTL; wherein, Fno≤1.28, L≤10μm, and TTL≤22.5mm. This also refers to a fixed-focus lens with a large aperture, infrared confocal focus, and a small total optical length.
