[0055] This invention proposes an optical lens designed to improve upon existing automotive ADAS lenses, which suffer from low resolution, insufficient illumination, and poor environmental adaptability, thus failing to achieve true real-time environmental perception.
[0056] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of the present invention, the optical lens includes a first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, and an image plane 11 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The first lens 1, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, and the sixth lens 6 are all glass spherical lenses, the second lens 2 and the seventh lens 7 are glass aspherical lenses, and the fourth lens 4 and the fifth lens 5 are cemented together. The vehicle-mounted lens 100 satisfies the following condition: -4.0 ≤ f 1 / f≤0.5, -0.5≤f2 / f≤3.5, 0.5≤f3 / f≤2.5, -1.5≤f4 / f≤1.5, -0.5≤f5 / f≤2.0, -0.5≤f6 / f≤3.0, -2.5≤f7 / f≤2.5; the focal length of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is f, the focal length of the first lens 1 is f1, the focal length of the second lens 2 is f2, the focal length of the third lens 3 is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens 4 is f4, the focal length of the fifth lens 5 is f5, the focal length of the sixth lens 6 is f6, and the focal length of the seventh lens 7 is f7.
[0057] In the technical solution of the present invention, the light collected by the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is sequentially incident on the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 to illuminate the image plane 11 for imaging. At this time, the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 are all set as glass lenses. In this way, the above-mentioned lenses can all have good resistance to thermal deformation, reduce the influence of temperature on the vehicle-mounted lens 100, and enable the vehicle-mounted lens 100 to have good thermal distortion performance. At the same time, the second lens 2 and the seventh lens 7 are set as aspherical lenses. In this way, the second lens 2 and the seventh lens 7 can both have better radius of curvature characteristics and have the advantages of improving distortion aberration and astigmatism. By using aspherical lenses, aberrations that occur during imaging can be eliminated as much as possible, improving edge image quality, thereby improving the imaging quality of the lens. With this configuration, by combining materials and allocating surface shapes for the multiple lenses of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, and by rationally controlling the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7, the resolution of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 can reach eight megapixels. Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 possesses characteristics of high illumination, low distortion, clear imaging, and high fidelity. Moreover, since all lenses are glass lenses, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 has good temperature adaptability and can be used in environments with large temperature differences.
[0058] It is understood that in this invention, when light enters the vehicle-mounted lens 100, the light first enters the first lens 1. At this time, since the first lens 1 is a glass lens, the deformation of the first lens 1 due to heat is small. Thus, the heat of the incident light can be reduced to reduce the impact of the heat of the incident light on the imaging of the optical lens. Afterward, the light enters the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 in sequence. At this time, the multiple glass lenses can reduce the impact of the heat of the incident light on the imaging of the optical lens by their own good resistance to heat deformation, thereby ensuring the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100.
[0059] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific values of the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In the present invention, the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range, as long as the focal lengths of the seven lenses are coordinated to ensure the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In actual settings, they can be selected according to requirements, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0060] It should also be noted that, in this invention, by bonding the fourth lens 4 and the fifth lens 5 together, light energy loss can be further reduced, thereby increasing image clarity, protecting the scale surface, and optimizing the processing flow to meet design requirements. By using the bonding components appropriately, the optical components can improve the image quality of the vehicle lens 100. Furthermore, by bonding the two lenses together, the chromatic aberration of the vehicle lens 100 can be further corrected, thereby improving the color saturation of the image captured by the vehicle lens 100.
[0061] Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive index of the first lens 1 is Nd1, 1.75≤Nd1≤1.95; the refractive index of the second lens 2 is Nd2, 1.55≤Nd2≤1.80; the refractive index of the third lens 3 is Nd3, 1.70≤Nd3≤1.90; the refractive index of the fourth lens 4 is Nd4, 1.60≤Nd4≤1.90; the refractive index of the fifth lens 5 is Nd5, 1.60≤Nd5≤1.85; the refractive index of the sixth lens 6 is Nd6, 1.70≤Nd6≤1.95; and the refractive index of the seventh lens 7 is Nd7, 1.50≤Nd7≤1.75.
[0062] It is understood that the present invention does not limit the specific values of the refractive indices of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In the present invention, the refractive indices of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range. It is only necessary to ensure that the refractive indices of the seven lenses are matched to guarantee the molding quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In actual settings, they can be selected according to requirements.
[0063] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the Abbe constant of the first lens 1 is Vd1, 25≤Vd1≤40; the Abbe constant of the second lens 2 is Vd2, 45≤Vd2≤60; the Abbe constant of the third lens 3 is Vd3, 20≤Vd3≤35; the Abbe constant of the fourth lens 4 is Vd4, 20≤Vd4≤35; the Abbe constant of the fifth lens 5 is Vd5, 45≤Vd5≤70; the Abbe constant of the sixth lens 6 is Vd6, 30≤Vd6≤55; and the Abbe constant of the seventh lens 7 is Vd7, 50≤Vd7≤70.
[0064] Similarly, it is understood that the present invention does not limit the specific values of the Abbe constants of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In the present invention, the Abbe constants of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range. It is only necessary to ensure that the Abbe constants of the seven lenses are coordinated to guarantee the low chromatic aberration of the vehicle lens 100. In actual settings, they can also be selected according to requirements.
[0065] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the center of the image-side surface of the seventh lens 7 and the image plane 11 (i.e., the back focal length of the vehicle lens 100) is BFL, and the distance between the center of the object-side surface of the first lens 1 and the image plane 11 (i.e., the total optical length of the vehicle lens 100) is TTL, with BFL / TTL > 0.08. This arrangement ensures the compactness of the vehicle lens 100.
[0066] In another embodiment of the present invention, the maximum field of view of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is FOV, and the corresponding image height is h, where 55 ≤ (FOV × f) / h ≤ 70. This setting ensures the imaging quality and image sharpness of the vehicle-mounted lens 100.
[0067] It should be noted that in this invention, h≤10mm, thus ensuring the maximum image plane 11 of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, enabling the vehicle-mounted lens 100 to achieve an imaging diameter of 10mm.
[0068] It should also be noted that, to further improve the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, in one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 further includes an aperture stop 8, which is disposed between the third lens 3 and the fourth lens 4. Thus, the aperture stop 8 can effectively control the light transmission aperture, thereby reducing stray light interference and improving imaging quality.
[0069] To improve the imaging accuracy of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 and its protection of the image plane 11, in another embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 further includes a beam-splitting glass 9 and a protective glass 10 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. Both the beam-splitting glass 9 and the protective glass 10 are disposed between the seventh lens 7 and the image plane 11. With this arrangement, light rays entering the vehicle-mounted lens 100 exit from the seventh lens 7, then sequentially pass through the beam-splitting glass 9 and the protective glass 10, and finally reach the image plane 11 for imaging, thereby achieving imaging by the vehicle-mounted lens 100. Furthermore, the protective glass 10 provides effective protection for the image plane 11.
[0070] This invention provides a specific embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 includes a first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, an aperture stop 8, a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, a beam-splitting glass 9, a protective glass 10, and an image plane 11, arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The image side and object side of the beam-splitting glass 9 and the protective glass 10 are both planar. The first lens 1 has a negative optical power, and its object side 1 and image side 2 are both concave. The second lens 2 has a positive optical power, and its object side 3 is convex, and its image side 4 is concave. The third lens 3 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 5 is convex, while its image-side surface 6 is concave. The fourth lens 4 has a negative optical power, and its object-side surface 8 is concave, while its image-side surface 9 is concave. The fifth lens 5 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 9 is convex, while its image-side surface 10 is convex. The sixth lens 6 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 11 is convex, while its image-side surface 12 is concave. The seventh lens 7 has a negative optical power, and its object-side surface 13 is concave, while its image-side surface 14 is concave. The aperture number of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is FNO, FON = 1.6.
[0071] In this embodiment, the basic parameters of each lens of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, including surface type, radius of curvature (mm), thickness (mm), material properties, and Conic value, are shown in Table 1:
[0072] Table 1
[0073]
[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aspherical surface shape of the aspherical lens satisfies the following condition:
[0075]
[0076] Where Z represents the distance of the surface from the vertex of the surface in the optical axis direction, parameter c is the curvature corresponding to the radius, y is the radial coordinate, and its unit is the same as the lens length unit, k is the conic quadratic coefficient; when the coefficient k is less than -1, the surface curve of the lens is a hyperbola, when the coefficient k is equal to -1, the surface curve of the lens is a parabola; when the coefficient k is between -1 and 0, the surface curve of the lens is an ellipse, when the coefficient k is equal to 0, the surface curve of the lens is a circle, when the coefficient k is greater than 0, the surface curve of the lens is an oval, and α1 to α8 represent the coefficients corresponding to each radial coordinate.
[0077] In this embodiment, the coefficients of the higher-order terms of each aspherical mirror are shown in Table 2 below:
[0078] Table 2
[0079] # a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 2 0 -2.31E-05 1.35E-07 -4.92E-09 0 0 0 3 0 4.07E-05 3.00E-07 9.93E-10 0 0 0 13 0 -2.86E-03 9.99E-05 -1.16E-06 0 0 0 14 0 -1.34E-03 6.27E-05 -3.23E-07 0 0 0
[0080] It is understandable that number 3 is the object side of the second lens 2, number 4 is the image side of the second lens 2, number 13 is the object side of the seventh lens 7, and number 14 is the image side of the seventh lens 7.
[0081] This setup, by rationally allocating the lens power and adjusting the glass shape and material combination, effectively eliminates chromatic aberration and secondary spectrum, allowing spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, etc. on each lens to compensate and cancel each other out, thereby achieving a clear imaging effect and realizing optimal correction of higher-order aberrations and chromatic aberration.
[0082] It should be noted that Table 2 is a design value of the aspherical coefficient of the lens in the vehicle lens 100 described in this embodiment. The specific value of the aspherical coefficient design value can be adjusted according to the needs of the product, and the present invention does not limit it.
[0083] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dot diagram of the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; a schematic diagram of the light aberrations of the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is shown below. Figure 3 As shown.
[0084] Please see Figure 4The present invention also proposes a vehicle-mounted lens 100. In a second embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 includes a first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, and an image plane 11 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The first lens 1, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, and the sixth lens 6 are all glass lenses. The second lens 2 and the seventh lens 7 are glass aspherical lenses. The fourth lens 4 and the fifth lens 5 are cemented together. The vehicle-mounted lens 100 satisfies the following conditions: The following conditions apply: -4.0≤f1 / f≤0.5, -0.5≤f2 / f≤3.5, 0.5≤f3 / f≤2.5, -1.5≤f4 / f≤1.5, -0.5≤f5 / f≤2.0, -0.5≤f6 / f≤3.0, -2.5≤f7 / f≤2.5; the focal length of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is f, the focal length of the first lens 1 is f1, the focal length of the second lens 2 is f2, the focal length of the third lens 3 is f3, the focal length of the fourth lens 4 is f4, the focal length of the fifth lens 5 is f5, the focal length of the sixth lens 6 is f6, and the focal length of the seventh lens 7 is f7.
[0085] In the technical solution of the present invention, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, the light collected by the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is sequentially incident on the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 to illuminate the image plane 11 for imaging. At this time, the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 are all configured as glass lenses, thus enabling... The aforementioned lenses possess excellent resistance to thermal deformation, reducing the impact of temperature on the vehicle-mounted lens 100 and enabling it to exhibit good thermal distortion performance. Simultaneously, by setting the second lens 2 and the seventh lens 7 as aspherical lenses, both lenses achieve better radius of curvature characteristics, improving distortion aberrations and astigmatism. Using aspherical lenses minimizes aberrations during imaging, enhancing edge image quality and thus improving the overall image quality of the lens. With this configuration, by combining materials and allocating surface shapes for the multiple lenses of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, and by rationally controlling the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7, the resolution of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 can reach eight megapixels. Furthermore, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 possesses characteristics of high illumination, low distortion, clear imaging, and high fidelity. Moreover, since all lenses are glass lenses, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 has good temperature adaptability and can be used in environments with large temperature differences.
[0086] As can be understood, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, in this invention, when light enters the vehicle-mounted lens 100, the light first enters the first lens 1. At this time, since the first lens 1 is a glass lens, the deformation of the first lens 1 due to heat is small. Thus, the heat of the incident light can be reduced to reduce the impact of the heat of the incident light on the imaging of the optical lens. Afterward, the light enters the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 in sequence. At this time, the multiple glass lenses can reduce the impact of the heat of the incident light on the imaging of the optical lens by their own good resistance to heat deformation, thereby ensuring the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100.
[0087] It should be noted that, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, the present invention does not limit the specific values of the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In the present invention, the focal lengths of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range. It is only necessary to ensure that the focal lengths of the seven lenses are coordinated to guarantee the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In actual settings, they can be selected according to requirements, and the present invention does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0088] It should also be noted that, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, in this invention, by bonding the fourth lens 4 and the fifth lens 5 together, light energy loss can be further reduced, thereby increasing image clarity, protecting the scale surface, and optimizing the processing flow to meet design requirements. By using the bonding component appropriately, the optical components can improve the image quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. Furthermore, by bonding the two lenses together, the chromatic aberration of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 can be further corrected, thereby improving the color saturation of the image captured by the vehicle-mounted lens 100.
[0089] Further, in one embodiment of the present invention, the refractive index of the first lens 1 is Nd1, 1.50≤Nd1≤1.75; the refractive index of the second lens 2 is Nd2, 1.60≤Nd2≤1.8; the refractive index of the third lens 3 is Nd3, 1.35≤Nd3≤1.65; the refractive index of the fourth lens 4 is Nd4, 1.60≤Nd4≤1.85; the refractive index of the fifth lens 5 is Nd5, 1.45≤Nd5≤1.75; the refractive index of the sixth lens 6 is Nd6, 1.80≤Nd6≤2.00; and the refractive index of the seventh lens 7 is Nd7, 1.55≤Nd7≤1.85.
[0090] It is understood that, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, the present invention does not limit the specific values of the refractive indices of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In the present invention, the refractive indices of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range. It is only necessary to ensure that the refractive indices of the seven lenses are matched to guarantee the forming quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In actual settings, they can be selected according to requirements.
[0091] Furthermore, in another embodiment of the present invention, the Abbe constant of the first lens 1 is Vd1, 25≤Vd1≤45; the Abbe constant of the second lens 2 is Vd2, 45≤Vd2≤60; the Abbe constant of the third lens 3 is Vd3, 75≤Vd3≤95; the Abbe constant of the fourth lens 4 is Vd4, 20≤Vd4≤40; the Abbe constant of the fifth lens 5 is Vd5, 50≤Vd5≤75; the Abbe constant of the sixth lens 6 is Vd6, 25≤Vd6≤50; and the Abbe constant of the seventh lens 7 is Vd7, 45≤Vd7≤70.
[0092] Similarly, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, this invention does not limit the specific values of the Abbe constants of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7. In this invention, the Abbe constants of the first lens 1, the second lens 2, the third lens 3, the fourth lens 4, the fifth lens 5, the sixth lens 6, and the seventh lens 7 can all be set to any value within the corresponding range. It is only necessary to ensure that the Abbe constants of the seven lenses are coordinated to guarantee the low chromatic aberration of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In actual settings, they can also be selected according to requirements.
[0093] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the distance between the center of the image-side surface of the seventh lens 7 and the image plane 11 (i.e., the back focal length of the vehicle lens 100) is BFL, and the distance between the center of the object-side surface of the first lens 1 and the image plane 11 (i.e., the total optical length of the vehicle lens 100) is TTL, with BFL / TTL > 0.08. This configuration, as described in the first embodiment of the vehicle lens 100, ensures the compactness of the vehicle lens 100.
[0094] In another embodiment of the present invention, the maximum field of view of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is FOV, and the corresponding image height is h, where 55 ≤ (FOV × f) / h ≤ 70. This setting ensures the imaging quality and image sharpness of the vehicle-mounted lens 100.
[0095] It should be noted that in this invention, h≤10mm, thus ensuring the maximum image plane 11 of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, enabling the vehicle-mounted lens 100 to achieve an imaging diameter of 10mm.
[0096] It should also be noted that, to further improve the imaging quality of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, in one embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 further includes an aperture stop 8, which is disposed between the first lens 1 and the second lens 2. Thus, the aperture stop 8 can effectively control the light transmission aperture, thereby reducing stray light interference and improving imaging quality.
[0097] To enhance protection of the image plane 11, in another embodiment of the present invention, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 further includes a protective glass 10 disposed between the seventh lens 7 and the image plane 11. Thus, the protective glass 10 provides effective protection for the image plane 11.
[0098] The present invention provides a specific embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100. In this embodiment, the vehicle-mounted lens 100 includes a first lens 1, a second lens 2, a third lens 3, an aperture 8, a fourth lens 4, a fifth lens 5, a sixth lens 6, a seventh lens 7, a protective glass 10, and an image plane 11 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The image side and the object side of the protective glass 10 are both planar. The optical power of the first lens 1 is negative, and the object side 1 of the first lens 1 is concave and the image side 2 is convex.
[0099] The second lens 2 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 4 and image-side surface 5 are convex. The third lens 3 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 6 and image-side surface 7 are convex. The fourth lens 4 has a negative optical power, and its object-side surface 8 and image-side surface 9 are concave. The fifth lens 5 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 9 and image-side surface 10 are convex. The sixth lens 6 has a positive optical power, and its object-side surface 11 and image-side surface 12 are convex. The seventh lens 7 has a negative optical power, and its object-side surface 13 and image-side surface 14 are concave. The aperture number of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is FNO, FON = 1.6.
[0100] In this embodiment, the basic parameters of each lens of the vehicle-mounted lens 100, including surface type, radius of curvature (mm), thickness (mm), material properties, and Conic value, are shown in Table 3:
[0101] Table 3
[0102]
[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the aspherical surface shape of the aspherical lens satisfies the following condition:
[0104]
[0105] Where Z represents the distance of the surface from the vertex of the surface in the optical axis direction, parameter c is the curvature corresponding to the radius, y is the radial coordinate, and its unit is the same as the lens length unit, k is the conic quadratic coefficient; when the coefficient k is less than -1, the surface curve of the lens is a hyperbola, when the coefficient k is equal to -1, the surface curve of the lens is a parabola; when the coefficient k is between -1 and 0, the surface curve of the lens is an ellipse, when the coefficient k is equal to 0, the surface curve of the lens is a circle, when the coefficient k is greater than 0, the surface curve of the lens is an oval, and α1 to α8 represent the coefficients corresponding to each radial coordinate.
[0106] In this embodiment, the coefficients of the higher-order terms of each aspherical mirror are shown in Table 4 below:
[0107] Table 4
[0108] # a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6 a7 a8 2 0 -4.66E-06 -1.64E-07 -9.68E-09 0 0 0 3 0 3.07E-05 -1.03E-07 -8.08E-10 0 0 0 13 0 -3.11E-04 3.46E-09 -7.65E-08 0 0 0 14 0 -1.32E-04 -7.97E-06 -1.65E-08 0 0 0
[0109] It is understandable that number 3 is the object side of the second lens 2, number 4 is the image side of the second lens 2, number 13 is the object side of the seventh lens 7, and number 14 is the image side of the seventh lens 7.
[0110] This setup, by rationally allocating the lens power and adjusting the glass shape and material combination, effectively eliminates chromatic aberration and secondary spectrum, allowing spherical aberration, coma, astigmatism, etc. on each lens to compensate and cancel each other out, thereby achieving a clear imaging effect and realizing optimal correction of higher-order aberrations and chromatic aberration.
[0111] It should be noted that Table 4 shows one design value for the aspherical coefficient of the lens in the vehicle-mounted lens 100 described in this embodiment. The specific value of the aspherical coefficient design can be adjusted according to the product requirements, and this invention does not impose any restrictions on it.
[0112] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the dot diagram of the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown; a schematic diagram of the light aberrations of the first embodiment of the vehicle-mounted lens 100 is shown below. Figure 6As shown.
[0113] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
