Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lens technology, and more particularly to a fixed-focus lens. Background Technology
[0002] A wide-angle lens is a short focal length lens with a large field of view, capable of capturing a large area of scenery at a relatively short shooting distance. Therefore, wide-angle lenses are widely used in many fields such as security, smart homes, and automotive applications. However, currently popular wide-angle fixed-focus lenses on the market have relatively small apertures, resulting in less light transmission in low-light environments, failing to provide high-resolution surveillance images, while overexposure occurs in high-light conditions. Summary of the Invention

[0072] 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.
[0073] It should be noted that the terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. It should be noted that directional terms such as "above," "below," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this invention are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this invention. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when referring to an element being formed "above" or "below" another element, it can be formed not only directly "above" or "below" the other element, but also indirectly "above" or "below" the other element through an intermediate element. The terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. It should be understood that such terms 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 non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0074] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a fixed-focus lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to... Figure 1 The fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a first lens 10 with negative optical power, a second lens 20 with negative optical power, a third lens 30 with positive optical power, a fourth lens 40 with positive optical power, an aperture stop 100, a fifth lens 50 with positive optical power, a sixth lens 60 with positive optical power, a seventh lens 70 with negative optical power, an eighth lens 80 with positive optical power, and a ninth lens 90 with negative optical power, arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis. The first lens 10, the third lens 30, and the seventh lens 70 are all glass spherical lenses, the sixth lens 60 is a glass aspherical lens, and the second lens 20, the fourth lens 40, the fifth lens 50, the eighth lens 80, and the ninth lens 90 are all plastic aspherical lenses.
[0075] Fixed-focus lenses satisfy the following condition:
[0076] 1.36≤H / f≤1.38;
[0077] Where f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens, and H represents the vertical height of the point where the principal ray of the maximum field of view intersects the image plane.
[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 fixed-focus lens also includes a flat glass plate 110, which is located on the side closest to the image plane. The flat glass plate 110 protects the photosensitive chip in the imaging sensor, which converts the light signals collected by the fixed-focus lens into electrical signals, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the fixed-focus lens. The first lens 10, second lens 20, third lens 30, fourth lens 40, aperture 100, fifth lens 50, sixth lens 60, seventh lens 70, eighth lens 80, ninth lens 90, and flat glass plate 110 can be housed in a single lens barrel. Figure 1 (Not shown in the image) The lens employs a hybrid combination of 3 spherical glass lenses, 1 aspherical glass lens, and 5 aspherical plastic lenses. The glass and plastic materials complement each other, effectively balancing the resolution of the fixed-focus lens under high and low temperatures. Furthermore, the appropriate combination of glass lenses effectively corrects lens aberrations, ensuring good image quality at a relatively low cost. It can be paired with 5MP / 4K, 1 / 2.7″ type sensors, making it widely applicable. By designing the fixed-focus lens to meet the requirements of 1.36 ≤ H / f ≤ 1.38, and constraining the focal length and the vertical height of the intersection point of the principal ray of the maximum field of view with the image plane, the field of view of the fixed-focus lens can be controlled within a certain range to meet usage requirements. 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 optimizes the optical power matching and relative position of each lens element, ultimately achieving a low-cost fixed-focus lens design that balances imaging requirements and a compact structure. This fixed-focus lens can be matched with a 1 / 2.7″ imaging chip, meeting the requirements of small size, large field of view, and good resolution from center to edge. Its overall performance meets the requirements of general-purpose security monitoring chips.
[0080] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, along the optical axis from the object side to the image side, the first lens 10 is a convex-concave lens, the second lens 20 is a convex-concave lens, the third lens 30 is a concave-convex lens, the fourth lens 40 is a concave-convex lens, the fifth lens 50 is a convex-concave lens, the sixth lens 60 is a convex-convex lens, the seventh lens 70 is a concave-concave lens, the eighth lens 80 is a convex-convex lens, and the ninth lens 90 is a convex-concave lens.
[0081] By setting the shape of each lens, the optical power of each lens can be adapted.
[0082] Optionally, the third lens 30, the fifth lens 50, and the sixth lens 60 satisfy the following condition:
[0083] 1.85≤Nd3≤2.00;
[0084] 23.79≤Vd3≤25.43;
[0085] 1.64≤Nd5≤1.67;
[0086] 19.28≤Vd5≤23.92;
[0087] 1.69≤Nd6≤1.81;
[0088] 40.91≤Vd6≤48.06;
[0089] Wherein, Nd3, Nd5, and Nd6 represent the refractive indices of the third lens 30, the fifth lens 50, and the sixth lens 60, respectively, and Vd3, Vd5, and Vd6 represent the Abbe numbers of the third lens 30, the fifth lens 50, and the sixth lens 60, respectively.
[0090] The third lens 30, made of high-refractive-index, low-dispersion glass, provides powerful optical power and chromatic aberration correction capabilities, laying the foundation for aberration correction. Its stable physicochemical properties help resist environmental changes. This significantly reduces the size and weight of the fixed-focus lens. Specifically, it allows for the use of lens surfaces with smaller curvature while maintaining the same optical power. Furthermore, the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60 are located behind the aperture stop 100. Introducing an aspherical lens after the aperture stop 100 effectively improves chromatic aberration in light passing through the aperture stop 100, thus significantly improving the edge image quality of the wide-angle lens. Simultaneously, the sixth lens 60, made of glass aspherical lens, combines the excellent thermal stability and dispersion characteristics of glass with the powerful aberration correction capabilities of aspherical surfaces. Positioned as the second lens after the aperture stop 100, the sixth lens 60 can simultaneously correct advanced aberrations and chromatic aberration, making it crucial for ensuring high resolution across the entire field of view.
[0091] Optionally, the focal lengths of the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 satisfy the following condition:
[0092] -8.74≤(f1+f2) / f≤-7.06;
[0093] Where f1 represents the focal length of the first lens 10, f2 represents the focal length of the second lens 20, and f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0094] By rationally setting the ratio between the sum of the focal lengths of the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 and the focal length of the fixed-focus lens, it is helpful to reduce the overall length of the lens. At the same time, it is also beneficial to correct aberrations at ultra-large apertures, ensuring that the fixed-focus lens has high resolving power.
[0095] Optionally, the lens diameter of the first lens 10 and the total optical length of the fixed-focus lens satisfy the following condition:
[0096] 0.58≤ΦL1 / TTL≤0.71;
[0097] Wherein, ΦL1 represents the lens diameter of the first lens 10, and TTL represents the total optical length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0098] By limiting the ratio of the diameter of the first lens 10 to the total optical length (TTL) of the fixed-focus lens, the size of the lens can be effectively controlled, making the lens smaller while maximizing the field of view and light intake to meet the needs of use under more demanding conditions.
[0099] As required, the focal lengths of the third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40 satisfy the following condition:
[0100] 10.57≤(f3+f4) / f≤12.42;
[0101] Where f3 represents the focal length of the third lens 30, f4 represents the focal length of the fourth lens 40, and f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0102] The third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40 play a crucial role in ensuring that light rays can pass through the aperture 100 smoothly and symmetrically, which is of great importance in controlling aberrations.
[0103] Optionally, the focal lengths of the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60 satisfy the following condition:
[0104] 5.1≤(f5+f6) / f≤5.82;
[0105] Where f5 represents the focal length of the fifth lens 50, f6 represents the focal length of the sixth lens 60, and f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0106] When light passes through aperture 100 and enters the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60, the light refraction is relatively gentle, which can effectively reduce the sensitivity of the system and improve the yield. This also makes lens production and assembly easier, and results in more stable and reliable performance during use. Furthermore, the fifth lens 50 and the sixth lens 60 can initially correct the shape of the light beam, smoothly guiding large-angle off-axis rays and preventing severe, uncorrectable aberrations caused by off-axis rays suddenly encountering strong lens elements, thus achieving initial chromatic aberration balance.
[0107] Optionally, the focal lengths of the seventh lens 70 and the eighth lens 80 satisfy the following condition:
[0108] 2.37≤(f7+f8) / f≤2.74;
[0109] Where f7 represents the focal length of the seventh lens 70, f8 represents the focal length of the eighth lens 80, and f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0110] The combination of the seventh lens 70 and the eighth lens 80 can eliminate advanced aberrations and residual spherical aberrations that were not eliminated at the front end.
[0111] Optionally, the focal length of the ninth lens 90 satisfies the following condition:
[0112] -58.59≤f9 / f≤-16.8;
[0113] Where f9 represents the focal length of the ninth lens 90, and f represents the focal length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0114] The ninth lens, 90, is a negative lens, which can keep the angle of the principal ray within a suitable range. It can also adjust the height of the intersection point between the principal ray and the image plane at the end of a fixed-focus lens. It is compatible with various chips and saves lens costs on the other hand.
[0115] Optionally, a fixed-focus lens satisfies the following condition:
[0116] 1.95≤F≤2.294;
[0117] 0.11≤BFL / TTL≤0.13;
[0118] Where F represents the aperture number of the fixed-focus lens, BFL represents the distance from the vertex of the last optical surface of the fixed-focus lens to the image plane, and TTL represents the total optical length of the fixed-focus lens.
[0119] A smaller F-number in an optical system results in stronger light collection, enabling clear images in low-light environments and making it suitable for special conditions such as low-light surveillance. BFL and TTL meet these requirements, effectively controlling lens size and allowing for smaller lenses while maximizing the field of view and light intake to meet the demands of more stringent conditions.
[0120] By rationally allocating parameters such as the material, optical power, center thickness of each lens, and on-axis spacing between each lens, a fixed-focus lens can achieve at least one beneficial effect, such as excellent imaging, compact structure, and low cost.
[0121] In this embodiment of the invention, the aspherical lens of the fixed-focus lens satisfies the following formula:
[0122] ;
[0123] Where Z is the axial distance from the vertex of the surface at a position perpendicular to the optical axis at a height r; c represents the curvature at the vertex of the aspherical surface; k is the fitted conic coefficient; a4, a6, a8, a 10 a 12 a 14 a 16 For the higher-order aspheric coefficients corresponding to the fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, twelfth, fourteenth, and sixteenth orders of aspheric surfaces, a i r i These can be combined to form higher-order terms for the corresponding aspherical surfaces.
[0124] For example, Table 1 shows the relationship with Figure 1 The specific parameters of the corresponding prime lens are as follows:
[0125] Table 1 Specific parameters of fixed focal length lenses
[0126]
[0127] Table 2 shows the parameter data of each lens in Example 1. The focal length f of the fixed-focus lens in Example 1 is 2.219mm and the aperture number F is 2.238.
[0128] Table 2 Design values of optical physical parameters of the fixed-focus lens in Example 1
[0129]
[0130] The surface number is assigned according to the order of the lenses' surfaces. "STO" indicates the aperture stop of a fixed-focus lens. The radius of curvature indicates the degree of curvature of the corresponding lens surface. A positive value means the surface bends towards the image plane, and a negative value means the surface bends towards the object plane. "Infinite" indicates that the surface is flat and the radius of curvature is infinite. The thickness indicates the central axial distance between the current surface and the next surface. Both the radius of curvature and the thickness are in mm. The material (Nd) indicates the refractive index, which represents the ability of the material between the current surface and the next surface to deflect light. A space indicates that the current position is air and the refractive index is 1. The material (Vd) indicates the Abbe number, which represents the dispersion characteristics of the material between the current surface and the next surface. A space indicates that the current position is air.

[0136] Figure 2 The axial aberration curve of a fixed-focus lens provided in this embodiment of the invention is shown. The vertical direction represents the normalized aperture, 0 indicates that it is on the optical axis, and the vertical vertex represents the maximum pupil radius. The horizontal direction represents the offset relative to the image plane, in millimeters (mm). Figure 2 Different linear curves represent different wavelengths of system imaging, by Figure 2 It can be seen that the axial aberrations of the normalized aperture at different wavelengths (0~1.0) are all controlled within the range of (-0.04mm, +0.04mm), indicating that the spherical aberration of this fixed-focus lens is well controlled at all wavelengths, which can meet the requirements of wide-spectrum applications. In addition, at the pupil positions of 0.5~0.9, there is no obvious chromatic aberration between visible light and infrared light, which meets the basic requirement of clear imaging at night and achieves the effect of clear imaging across the entire spectral band.

Figure 9 An optical fan pattern of a fixed-focus lens in an 86.00-degree field of view, as provided in an embodiment of the present invention, is shown below. Figures 3-9 As shown, the horizontal axis in the figure represents the normalized beam aperture, and the vertical axis represents the transverse aberration. Ideally, each curve should perfectly coincide with the horizontal axis, at which point all rays in that field of view focus at the same point on the image plane; the vertical axis in a single image can also represent the maximum dispersion range of the beam on the ideal image plane. The fan diagram not only reflects monochromatic aberrations of different wavelengths but also indicates the magnitude of transverse chromatic aberration. Figures 3-9 It can be seen that this fixed-focus lens closely approximates the horizontal axis at all wavelengths across all fields of view, indicating that its transverse aberrations at all wavelengths are well corrected. In addition, the curves for each color do not show significant dispersion, indicating that this fixed-focus lens also has good correction for chromatic aberration, ensuring the imaging requirement of sharp images across the entire wavelength range.

[0145] The surface number is assigned according to the order of the lenses' surfaces. "STO" indicates the aperture stop of a fixed-focus lens. The radius of curvature indicates the degree of curvature of the corresponding lens surface. A positive value means the surface bends towards the image plane, and a negative value means the surface bends towards the object plane. "Infinite" indicates that the surface is flat and the radius of curvature is infinite. The thickness indicates the central axial distance between the current surface and the next surface. Both the radius of curvature and the thickness are in mm. The material (Nd) indicates the refractive index, which represents the ability of the material between the current surface and the next surface to deflect light. A space indicates that the current position is air and the refractive index is 1. The material (Vd) indicates the Abbe number, which represents the dispersion characteristics of the material between the current surface and the next surface.
