Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lens technology, and more particularly to a zoom lens. Background Technology

[0002] In the security field, zoom lenses have been widely used due to their advantages such as long shooting distance and wide shooting angle. With the development of technology, cameras are gradually moving towards miniaturization and refinement, which also puts forward more stringent requirements for mainstream zoom lenses.

[0003] In the current market environment, small-magnification zoom lenses with 1 / 2.7″ mainstream chips are widely used and play an important role in fields such as security. However, since the small-magnification zoom lenses on the market are relatively large and only have 4MP resolution, it is necessary to develop a small-sized small-magnification zoom lens with a resolution of 4K. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a zoom lens. The zoom lens uses 10 lens elements to form a three-element structure, achieving full-band confocal focusing within the 436nm~870nm wavelength range at a 1 / 2.7″ target surface. Furthermore, the lens is smaller, has higher image quality, and is suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, a zoom lens is provided, comprising a negative optical power focusing lens group, an aperture, a positive optical power zoom lens group, and a positive optical power fixed lens group arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side.

[0006] The focusing lens group includes a first lens with negative optical power, a second lens with negative or positive optical power, a third lens with negative optical power, and a fourth lens with positive optical power.

[0007] The zoom lens group includes a fifth lens with positive optical power, a sixth lens with positive optical power, a seventh lens with negative optical power, an eighth lens with positive or negative optical power, and a ninth lens with positive or negative optical power.

[0008] The fixed lens group includes a tenth lens with positive optical power;

[0009] The aperture stop is located on the side of the zoom lens group closer to the focusing lens group. By changing the positions of the focusing lens group and the zoom lens group on the optical axis, the zoom lens can switch between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end.

[0010] The zoom lens satisfies the following relationship:

[0011] -1.590≤F1 / FW≤-1.500;

[0012] 1.720≤F2 / FW≤1.820;

[0013] Wherein, F1 represents the focal length of the focusing lens group, F2 represents the focal length of the zoom lens group, and FW represents the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end.

[0014] The zoom lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a focusing lens group with negative optical power, an aperture stop, a zoom lens group with positive optical power, and a fixed lens group with positive optical power, arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The focusing lens group includes a first lens with negative optical power, a second lens with negative or positive optical power, a third lens with negative optical power, and a fourth lens with positive optical power. The zoom lens group includes a fifth lens with positive optical power, a sixth lens with positive optical power, a seventh lens with negative optical power, an eighth lens with positive or negative optical power, and a ninth lens with positive or negative optical power. The fixed lens group includes a tenth lens with positive optical power. The aperture stop is located on the side of the zoom lens group closer to the focusing lens group. By changing the positions of the focusing lens group and the zoom lens group on the optical axis, the zoom lens can switch between wide-angle and telephoto ends. The technical solution of this invention, using the three-group zoom lens composed of the above-mentioned combination, can achieve technical advantages such as fast focusing speed, stable focus during zooming, and excellent close-range performance. Simultaneously, using a mechanism with one group for focusing, two groups for zooming, and three groups for fixing, the entire zooming process is completed inside the lens, with a constant lens barrel length, achieving good sealing and center of gravity balance, and adapting to more usage scenarios. Furthermore, using the above-mentioned lens with the aforementioned optical power combination can reduce the overall length of the zoom lens, achieving the goal of minimizing lens size to the greatest extent. At the same time, it achieves high resolution throughout the entire zoom range and at different focusing distances. Through the reasonable combination of optical power, light passes through the lens more smoothly, largely correcting the impact of advanced aberrations on image quality. It achieves full-band confocal focusing at a 1 / 2.7″ target surface in the 436nm~870nm wavelength range, with a smaller lens size and higher image quality, suitable for the needs of a wider range of environments.

[0071] 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.

[0072] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0073] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a zoom lens at the wide-angle end, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. (Reference) Figure 1 The zoom lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a negative optical power focusing lens group 10, an aperture stop 20, a positive optical power zoom lens group 30, and a positive optical power fixed lens group 40 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side; the focusing lens group 10 includes a first lens 101 with negative optical power, a second lens 102 with negative or positive optical power, a third lens 103 with negative optical power, and a fourth lens 104 with positive optical power; the zoom lens group 30 includes a fifth lens with positive optical power. 301, a sixth lens with positive optical power; 302, a seventh lens with negative optical power; 303, an eighth lens with either positive or negative optical power; and a ninth lens with either positive or negative optical power; the fixed lens group 40 includes a tenth lens with positive optical power; the aperture stop 20 is located on the side of the zoom lens group 30 closer to the focusing lens group 10, and by changing the position of the focusing lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30 on the optical axis, the zoom lens can switch between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end.

[0074] Zoom lenses satisfy the following relationship:

[0075] -1.590≤F1 / FW≤-1.500;

[0076] 1.720≤F2 / FW≤1.820;

[0077] Where F1 represents the focal length of the focusing lens group 10, F2 represents the focal length of the zoom lens group 30, and FW represents the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end.

[0078] It is understandable that optical power, the reciprocal of focal length, characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of optical power, the stronger the ability to bend light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the ability to bend light. When optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. In practical implementation, refer to... Figure 1 The zoom lens also includes a flat glass plate 50, which is located on the side closest to the image plane. The flat glass plate 50 protects the photosensitive chip in the imaging sensor, which converts the light signals collected by the zoom lens into electrical signals, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the zoom lens. The focusing lens group 10, aperture 20, zoom lens group 30, fixed lens group 40, and flat glass plate 50 can be housed in a single lens barrel. Figure 1 Within the lens assembly (not shown), the position of the fixed lens group 40 is fixed. The focal length of the lens is changed by moving the focusing lens group 10, the aperture stop 20, and the zoom lens group 30. During the zooming process, when the focal length is shortest, the zoom lens is located at the wide-angle end, and when the focal length is 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 powers, as well as different lengths or shapes. It should be noted that... Figure 1 The structural diagrams in the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only, and shapes such as aspherical surfaces are not represented in accordance with actual conditions.

[0079] The technical solution of this invention, using the aforementioned three-group zoom lens, achieves advantages such as fast focusing speed, stable focus during zooming, and excellent close-range performance. Simultaneously, the use of a mechanism with one group for focusing, two groups for zooming, and three groups for fixing allows the entire zooming process to be completed inside the lens, maintaining a constant lens barrel length, achieving good sealing and center-of-gravity balance, and adapting to a wider range of usage scenarios. Furthermore, using the aforementioned lens with the aforementioned optical power combination reduces the overall length of the zoom lens, minimizing its size. It also achieves high resolution across the entire zoom range and at different focusing distances. Combined with the internal zoom structure, the cemented lens elements in the zoom group, and the aperture that moves with the zoom group, it ensures high and low temperature imaging quality. Through the reasonable combination of optical power, light passes through the lens more smoothly, largely correcting the impact of advanced aberrations on image quality. This achieves full-band confocal focusing at a 1 / 2.7″ aperture within the 436nm~870nm wavelength range, while maintaining a smaller lens size and higher image quality, suitable for a wider range of usage environments.

[0080] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, in the focusing lens group 10, the first lens 101 is a convex-concave lens, the second lens 102 is a concave-convex lens, the third lens 103 is a concave-concave lens, and the fourth lens 104 is a convex-concave lens; in the zoom lens group 30, the fifth lens 301 is a convex-convex lens, the sixth lens 302 is a convex-convex lens, the seventh lens 303 is a concave-concave lens, the center position of the eighth lens 304 is concave-convex, and the center position of the ninth lens 305 is convex-concave; in the fixed lens group 40, the tenth lens 401 is a concave-convex lens or a convex-concave lens.

[0081] By setting the shape of each lens, the optical power of each lens can be adapted.

[0082] Optionally, the zoom lens includes at least four glass lenses, and both the focusing lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30 contain at least one plastic aspherical lens, while the fixed lens group 40 includes one plastic aspherical lens.

[0083] Optionally, the first lens 101 is a glass spherical lens, the second lens 102, the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104 are all plastic aspherical lenses; the fifth lens 301 is a glass aspherical lens, the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303 are both glass spherical lenses, the eighth lens 304 and the ninth lens 305 are both plastic aspherical lenses, and the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303 form a cemented lens group.

[0084] Glass and plastic are two materials that can compensate for each other. Using a combination of glass and plastic lenses in zoom lenses can effectively balance the lens's resolution under high and low temperatures. At the same time, a suitable combination of glass lenses also provides good correction for lens aberrations. Using these materials ensures good resolution within a temperature range of -40℃ to 80℃. Furthermore, glass lenses can significantly correct chromatic aberration. The aforementioned combination of glass lenses can achieve good resolution across the entire wavelength range of 430nm to 850nm, expanding the usability of zoom lenses.

[0085] After light passes through aperture 20, the cemented lens group can compensate for chromatic aberration in the light passing through the glass aspherical lens. This assembly-line-like processing greatly improves the efficiency and effectiveness of aberration correction. Furthermore, placing the cemented doublet lens close to the rear of the glass aspherical lens provides stability and compensation. The cemented doublet lens itself, as a single unit, offers good stability, helping to reduce the sensitivity of the entire optical system to the assembly tolerances of the aspherical lens and lower manufacturing costs.

[0086] The tenth lens 401 uses a plastic aspherical lens to control advanced aberrations at the lens's rear end, further improving image quality. In addition, using an aspherical lens at the lens's rear end allows for more precise control of the light's exit angle, improving the matching degree between the lens and the signal receiving device and preventing vignetting, color shift, noise, etc., that occur at the image edges due to excessively large or small incident angles of light. From a cost perspective, using a plastic aspherical lens can reduce costs, decrease lens weight, simplify the structure, reduce potential failure points, and increase reliability during use.

[0087] Optionally, the focusing lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30 satisfy the following relationship during the process of switching the zoom lens from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end:

[0088] 0.030≤S1 / TTL≤0.220;

[0089] 0.030≤S1 / S2≤0.270;

[0090] Wherein, S1 represents the distance between the closest position and the farthest position of the focusing lens group 10 to the image plane during the movement, S2 represents the distance between the closest position and the farthest position of the zoom lens group 30 to the image plane during the movement, and TTL represents the total optical length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end.

[0091] By controlling the movement distance of the focusing lens group 10 and the zoom lens group 30, the movement stroke of the focusing lens group 10 is controlled, ensuring that the zoom lens can respond quickly during focusing. It also has strong close-range focusing capabilities; simultaneously, using the above structure, aberration compensation can be accurately located, ensuring performance at different object distances.

[0092] Optionally, the first lens 101, the fifth lens 301, the sixth lens 302, and the seventh lens 303 satisfy the following requirements:

[0093] 1.430≤nd1≤1.600;68.000≤vd1≤94.600;

[0094] 1.430≤nd5≤1.560;70.200≤vd5≤95.200;

[0095] 1.430≤nd6≤1.560;71.700≤vd6≤95.200;

[0096] 1.670≤nd7≤1.770; 26.500≤vd7≤32.200;

[0097] Wherein, nd1, nd5, nd6 and nd7 represent the refractive indices of the first lens 101, the fifth lens 301, the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303, respectively; vd1, vd5, vd6 and vd7 represent the Abbe numbers of the first lens 101, the fifth lens 301, the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303, respectively.

[0098] The first lens 101 in the focusing lens group 10 uses glass material, which can protect the zoom lens to a certain extent and extend its service life. On the other hand, it can also play a certain role in aberration correction, avoiding excessive chromatic aberration at the rear of the zoom lens that is difficult to correct. The fifth lens 301 in the zoom lens group 30 uses glass material with a high Abbe number, which can correct chromatic aberration of light before it enters the aperture stop as much as possible, avoiding greater impact on the rear. At the same time, the fifth lens 301 is a glass lens, which can ensure the high and low temperature conditions of the zoom lens group 30 to a certain extent.

[0099] The sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303 in the zoom lens group 30 are cemented together to form a cemented lens group. Both lenses are made of glass and can work with the fifth lens 301 to control the high and low temperature conditions of the zoom group. Furthermore, the cemented glass lenses effectively eliminate chromatic aberration in light that has just passed through the aperture. Combined with other plastic aspherical lenses, this enables high-resolution 4K image quality, maintaining the stability of the optical system in various environments while ensuring fast focusing. In addition, the combination of plastic and glass lenses reduces lens weight, optimizing lens cost and production efficiency.

[0100] Optionally, the maximum lens diameter ΦG1 in the focusing lens group 10 has the following relationship with the total optical length TTL of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end:

[0101] 0.360 < ΦG1 / TTL < 0.400.

[0102] By controlling the ratio of the front aperture to the overall length, it is possible to miniaturize and lighten the optical system, while balancing the conflict between aperture and field of view, thus reducing the design cost of zoom lenses.

[0103] Optionally, the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303 form a cemented lens group, and the cemented lens group and the zoom lens group 30 satisfy the following relationship:

[0104] -3.340 <EFL67 / F2<-1.510;

[0105] Where EFL67 represents the total focal length of the cemented lens group, and F2 represents the focal length of the zoom lens group 30.

[0106] By controlling the ratio of the total focal length of the lens group consisting of the sixth lens 302 and the seventh lens 303 in the zoom lens group 30 to the focal length of the zoom lens group 30, insufficient or excessive chromatic aberration correction is avoided, thus achieving the goal of balancing aberrations. In addition, when this ratio is within a reasonable range, the zoom lens can precisely match the required amount of chromatic aberration correction at all focal lengths, achieving good control of chromatic aberration at the wide-angle, medium-telephoto, and telephoto ends.

[0107] Optionally, the focal length of a zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfies the following relationship:

[0108] 0.560≤sinCRA×FW≤0.780;

[0109] Where FW represents the focal length of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end, and CRA represents the principal ray angle of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end.

[0110] By controlling the relationship between the sine value of the principal ray angle and the focal length, the zoom lens and the image sensor are optimally matched, thereby obtaining a high-quality image that is consistent from the center to the edge.
