[0023] With the development of security monitoring technology, the definition of the camera used for monitoring is continuously improved, from the traditional 2 million pixels to the commonly used 5 million pixels and 8 million pixels of the super-definition network camera. However, the night vision effect of the existing high-pixel camera is relatively different in definition compared with the day, and there are usually many noise points on the picture, resulting in unclear image, so using high-brightness illuminating lamp for night light compensation for the camera has become a necessary means to realize high-definition night vision effect.

[0024] The traditional illuminating lamp often uses infrared LED lamp, however, the scheme of using infrared LED lamp for light compensation generally has the shortcomings of short irradiation distance, unadjustable light emission angle, non-uniform light, low light efficiency and the like.

[0025] The main purpose of the present application is to provide a zooming illuminating lens and illuminating device, aiming to provide a zooming illuminating lens with long irradiation distance, adjustable irradiation angle, uniform light spot and high light efficiency.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a zooming illuminating lens 1000, which comprises a first lens 1 with positive focal power and a second lens 2 with positive focal power arranged in sequence along the direction of incident illuminating light, the first lens 1 is fixedly arranged, and the second lens 2 is movably arranged along the optical axis direction to realize the adjustment of the light emission angle of 9.7° to 31.7°, and the light efficiency of the zooming illuminating lens 1000 can reach more than 85%; wherein the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 are both arranged as glass spherical lenses.

[0027] The technical scheme provided by the present application, by arranging the first lens 1 with positive focal power and the second lens 2 with positive focal power, is conducive to the collection of optical system light, and can effectively increase the light utilization efficiency of the lens; by moving the second lens 2 to change the light beam divergence angle, the adjustment of the light emission angle of 9.7° to 31.7° is realized, so that the projection at different distances can be realized according to the actual needs; by selecting high-refractive glass on the lens material, the light path can be well controlled, more light can be introduced at the same time, and the structure is more compact, and the total length of the lens is controlled within 26mm; by reasonably designing and optimizing the curvature radius of the lens, the light efficiency of the lens can reach more than 85%, thereby providing a zooming illuminating lens with long irradiation distance, adjustable irradiation angle, uniform light spot and high light efficiency.

[0028] Further, the zooming illuminating lens 1000 further comprises a diaphragm 3, which is arranged on the side of the first lens 1 facing the illuminating light source. The diaphragm 3 limits the light beam aperture on the optical axis, blocks part of the light, thereby reducing the light spot and improving the image contrast, and also plays a role in improving the image quality.

[0029] Further, the surfaces of the first lens 1 and the second lens 2 are coated with an anti-reflection film. By setting the anti-reflection film, internal stray reflection can be inhibited, the light can be ensured to propagate along the designed path, the center and edge illumination consistency can be maintained, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the light spot, and the reflectivity of the lens can be significantly reduced, the transmissivity can be increased, thereby improving the light emitting efficiency of the lens.

[0030] Specifically, in a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , the light entrance surface of the first lens 1 is a plane, and the light exit surface is a convex surface; the light entrance surface of the second lens 2 is a convex surface, and the light exit surface is a convex surface.

[0031] Further, the focal length of the first lens 1 is f1, and the focal length of the second lens 2 is f2, which satisfies 2 < f1 < 5 and 20 < f2 < 35. This embodiment is a preferred embodiment. By combining different lenses and reasonably distributing the optical power of the lenses, the light spot of the entire lens is more uniform, and the light emitting efficiency is high.

[0032] Further, the refractive index of the first lens 1 is n1, and the refractive index of the second lens 2 is n2, which satisfies 1.80 ≤ n1 ≤ 2.05 and 1.80 ≤ n2 ≤ 2.05. This embodiment is a preferred embodiment. By combining different lenses and reasonably distributing the refractive index of the lenses, the zoom lighting lens 1000 has high light emitting efficiency.

[0033] Further, the dispersion coefficient of the first lens 1 is v1, and the dispersion coefficient of the second lens 2 is v2, which satisfies 0 < v1 ≤ 45 and 0 < v2 ≤ 45. This embodiment is a preferred embodiment. By combining different lenses and reasonably distributing the dispersion coefficient of the lenses, the zoom lighting lens 1000 has high light emitting efficiency.

[0034] In an embodiment provided by the present application, the diameter of the second lens 2 is D1, and the object side diameter of the zoom lighting lens 1000 is IC, which satisfies D1 < 20 mm and IC ≤ 1.3 mm. By limiting the numerical relationship of the above optical system characteristics, the aperture of the zoom lighting lens 1000 can be avoided to be too large, so as to meet the installation space requirement of the final product, and the miniaturization of the lens can be realized.

[0035] It should be noted that the basic parameter table of the zoom lighting lens 1000 in an embodiment provided by the present application is shown in Table 1, wherein the units of the curvature radius, the thickness and the half diameter are millimeters (mm).

[0036] Table 1

[0037] Please refer toFigures 3-4 are spot simulation diagrams of the zoom lighting lens 1000 in the present embodiment at the wide-angle end 2.8 meters and the telephoto end 12.5 meters, and it can be seen from the diagrams that the spot of the zoom lighting lens 1000 at the farthest distance at different light-emitting angles can still ensure good uniformity and high illuminance, thereby indicating that the light-emitting efficiency of the lens is very high.

[0038] In the present embodiment, the object-side half-cone angle of the zoom lighting lens 1000 is 80°, the object-side diameter is 1.3 mm, the wide-angle end light-emitting angle is 9.71°, the telephoto end light-emitting angle is 31.75°, a 1.6-meter-diameter uniform illumination spot can be achieved at a 2.8-meter object distance at the wide-angle end, a 2.1-meter-diameter uniform illumination spot can be achieved at a 12.5-meter object distance at the telephoto end, and the continuous zoom light effect between the maximum and minimum angles can reach more than 85%, which can replace the most commonly used fixed-focus imaging lamp of any angle between 9.7° and 31.7°.

[0039] The present application also proposes a lighting device, which comprises the above-mentioned zoom lighting lens 1000, and the specific structure of the zoom lighting lens 1000 is referred to the above-mentioned embodiments. Since the zoom lighting lens 1000 of the present lighting device adopts all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] The above-mentioned is only an exemplary embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structural transformation made by using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields is included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
