[0033] When inspecting large-size products, area scan camera solutions are inefficient, and multi-area scan camera array solutions are too expensive. Line scan solutions have become the best choice. However, there are no industrial lenses and optical systems suitable for line scan solutions in the current technology. Using existing industrial lenses inevitably leads to problems such as insufficient resolution and large distortion.
[0034] To address the above problems, this invention proposes an optical system.
[0035] Please see Figure 1 The optical system of this embodiment includes a front lens group and a rear lens group. The front lens group includes a biconvex positive lens L1, a biconvex positive lens L2, a biconcave negative lens L3, a biconvex positive lens L4, and a biconcave negative lens L5 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side, wherein the biconvex positive lens L1 and the biconvex positive lens L2 are spaced apart. The rear lens group includes a meniscus negative lens L6, a meniscus positive lens L7, and a biconvex positive lens L8 arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side, wherein the concave surface of the meniscus negative lens L6 faces the object side, and the concave surface of the meniscus positive lens L7 faces the object side. An aperture AS is provided between the biconcave negative lens L5 and the meniscus negative lens L6.
[0036] The technical solution of this invention arranges a biconvex positive lens L1, a biconvex positive lens L2, a biconcave negative lens L3, a biconvex positive lens L4, a biconcave negative lens L5, an aperture AS, a meniscus negative lens L6, a meniscus positive lens L7, and a biconvex positive lens L8 sequentially from the object side to the image side. Through the rational allocation of the positions of each lens within the optical system, low distortion is achieved while maintaining the optical performance of the optical system. Furthermore, the rational allocation of the positions of lenses with different optical powers ensures the high resolution and high definition of the optical system. By rationally allocating the lenses within the optical system, this invention enables the optical system, when applied to industrial lenses using line scanning solutions, to achieve both the high efficiency and low cost advantages of line scanning solutions while meeting the high resolution and low distortion requirements of line scanning. Meanwhile, the present invention uses conventional structure lenses (biconvex positive lens, biconcave negative lens, meniscus lens), which have high manufacturing maturity and do not require special complex aspherical lenses or composite lenses, greatly reducing costs and manufacturing difficulty. While achieving high performance, it also meets the needs of industrial mass production, making the cost of the optical system much lower than that of multi-faceted camera array solutions.
[0037] In one embodiment, a biconvex positive lens L2 and a biconcave negative lens L3 are bonded together to form a first cemented group U1, a biconvex positive lens L4 and a biconcave negative lens L5 are bonded together to form a second cemented group U2, and a meniscus negative lens L6 and a meniscus positive lens L7 are bonded together to form a third cemented group U3.
[0038] By employing three sets of adhesive groups, chromatic aberration is suppressed and its accumulation is reduced, thereby optimizing optical performance, reducing the overall imaging chromatic aberration of the optical system, achieving an achromatic aberration effect, and thus enabling the entire optical system to obtain high-quality imaging capabilities with low chromatic aberration, high definition, and suitability for line scanning schemes.
[0039] In one embodiment, the aperture AS is a biconvex aperture AS, and one side of the convex surface of the aperture AS is in contact with the concave surface of the biconcave negative lens L5 facing the image side, and the other side of the convex surface of the aperture AS is in contact with the concave surface of the meniscus negative lens L6 facing the object side.
[0040] By bonding the biconvex stop AS with the biconcave negative lens L5 and the meniscus negative lens L6 respectively, a structure with continuous curvature and compound optical effect is formed, which improves the uniformity of light and helps to improve the overall optical performance of the optical system.
[0041] In one embodiment, the biconvex positive lens L1 has a thickness of 20 mm, a front surface radius of 218.560 mm, a rear surface radius of -1430.000 mm, and a refractive index of 1.762.

[0044] The radius of the first cemented surface of the third cemented assembly U3 is -42.820 mm, the thickness of the meniscus negative lens L6 is 17.400 mm, and the refractive index is 1.743. The radius of the second cemented surface of the third cemented assembly U3 is -417.200 mm, the thickness of the meniscus positive lens L7 is 12.620 mm, and the refractive index is 1.569. The radius of the rear surface of the third cemented assembly U3 is -61.480 mm.
[0045] The thickness of the biconvex positive lens L8 is 10.100mm, its front surface radius is 1595.000mm, its rear surface radius is -108.730mm, and its refractive index is 1.749.
[0046] Understandably, the above-mentioned radii are radii of curvature. The radius of curvature of the convex surface facing the object side is positive, and the radius of curvature of the convex surface facing the image side is negative.
[0047] In one embodiment, the air distance between the biconvex positive lens L1 and the biconvex positive lens L2 is 68.458 mm; the air distance between the biconcave negative lens L3 and the biconvex positive lens L4 is 2.444 mm; the air distance between the biconcave negative lens L5 and the aperture AS is 4.955 mm; the air distance between the aperture AS and the meniscus negative lens L6 is 9.998 mm; the air distance between the meniscus positive lens L7 and the biconvex positive lens L8 is 0.409 mm; and the air distance between the biconvex positive lens L8 and the image side is 378.172 mm.
[0048] Please combine Figures 2 to 5 By using the lens settings described above, the overall imaging effect can be referenced. Figure 2 MTF chart, Figure 3 Field curvature and distortion curves Figure 4 Axial aberration curves and Figure 5The chromatic aberration curve shows that the final imaging effect of the industrial lens using the optical system in this embodiment is achieved through... Figure 2 The MTF chart evaluation shows that at 100 lp / mm, the MTF > 0.4 and is close to the diffraction limit, with the overall curve smoothly decreasing, indicating that this industrial lens has good imaging performance across the entire field of view; from Figure 3 The field curvature and distortion diagrams show that the maximum distortion of this industrial lens does not exceed 0.2%; from Figure 4 Axial aberration curves and Figure 5 The vertical axis color difference curve shows that its color difference correction is good, meeting the needs of high-precision and fast scanning in the industrial field.

[0050] By rationally setting the ratio between the focal length of the front lens, the focal length of the rear lens, and the total focal length of the optical system, the requirement for high resolution was achieved.
[0051] In one embodiment, the total optical length of the optical system is TTL, and the total focal length of the optical system is f, both satisfying the following condition: TTL / f ≤ 2.5. Specifically, TTL ≤ 567.10 mm, 235 mm ≤ f ≤ 236 mm.

The specific structure of the optical system is as described in the above embodiments.

This results in the industrial lens exhibiting high resolution, low distortion, and achromatic aberration when using this optical system.
[0053] In one embodiment, the pixel chip has a size of 5 μm, and the target surface size of the line scan camera is 80 mm.
[0054] When the target surface size of the line scan camera is 80mm, it can be adapted to the inspection of more and larger products, while the 5μm pixel chip is adapted to the line scan camera with a large target surface size. By adopting the above parameters, the optical system resolution is 100 lp / mm.
[0055] In one embodiment, the maximum field of view of the industrial lens is FOV, and the principal ray angle of the industrial lens is CRA, which satisfies the following relationship: 3.5≤FOV / CRA≤4.0.
