[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and social development, the application of optical imaging lenses is becoming increasingly widespread, which places higher demands on them. For example, increased security awareness and the growing prevalence of security monitoring facilities have led to higher requirements from consumers for the monitoring environment and the images displayed, who expect to capture clear images in various environments. To achieve superior optical performance such as high resolution and a wide field of view, the optical system design of optical imaging lenses has become increasingly complex. They typically require the assembly of multiple lenses with different curvatures and materials according to precise optical spacing and coaxiality requirements—a process known as high-precision assembly and adjustment. This assembly process is the core of optical imaging lens manufacturing; its assembly precision determines the final image quality of the lens, thus requiring extremely high levels of refinement and stability in the assembly process.

[0003] In the high-precision assembly of optical imaging lenses, the interaction between the lens material properties and the assembly environment makes stress concentration a common technical challenge in the industry. Cracking caused by stress concentration in the lens has a significant negative impact on the production and use of optical imaging lenses. Summary of the Invention

[0016] According to the technical solution of an embodiment of the present application, by reasonably distributing the lens optical power and the effective focal length f1 of the first lens and the curvature radius R1 of the object side surface satisfy 0.30 ≤ f1 / R1 < 0.70, and the combined focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens and the effective focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy 0.90 < f34 / f2 ≤ 1.25. Due to the constraints of the focal lengths of each lens and the limitations on the focal length and surface shape of the first lens, the first lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges. If the thickness of its non-light-transmitting area is set improperly, it will cause the first lens to crack. The present application can constrain the thickness of the non-light-transmitting area of the first lens by constraining the distance relationship among EP01, EP12, and ∑CP1, thereby controlling the overall shape of the first lens and reducing the possibility of cracking of the first lens caused by stress concentration during the assembly (i.e., high-precision assembly and adjustment) process, improving the production yield and the post-assembly stability of the lens.

[0025] The features, principles and other aspects of this application are described in detail below.

[0026] During the assembly process of an optical imaging lens, the lens is prone to cracking due to stress concentration, resulting in a low production yield of the optical imaging lens and poor long-term stability of the optical imaging lens. Therefore, an embodiment of the present application provides an optical imaging lens. By reasonably planning the thickness of the non-light-passing regions of the first lens and the second lens and the proportional combination between spacer elements, the problem of lens cracking is at least partially solved while ensuring clear imaging of the optical imaging lens. The optical imaging lens provided in the present application is applicable to large apertures. The optical imaging lens sequentially includes, from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a first lens with a negative optical power, a second lens with a positive optical power, a third lens with a positive optical power, and a fourth lens with a negative optical power. The object side surface of the first lens is concave, and the image side surface of the first lens is concave; the object side surface of the second lens is convex, and the image side surface of the second lens is convex; the object side surface of the third lens is convex, and the image side surface of the third lens is convex; the object side surface of the fourth lens is concave, and the image side surface of the fourth lens is convex; there is an axial air gap between each adjacent lens among the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens, and the axial air gap between the third lens and the fourth lens is the minimum value among the axial air gaps between each adjacent lens. The optical imaging lens further includes a plurality of spacer elements, and the plurality of spacer elements include a first spacer element, a second spacer element, and a third spacer element. The first spacer element is placed on the image side of the first lens and contacts the image side surface of the first lens; the second spacer element is placed on the image side of the second lens and contacts the image side surface of the second lens; the third spacer element is placed on the image side of the third lens and contacts the image side surface of the third lens; the plurality of spacer elements, the first lens, the second lens, the third lens, and the fourth lens are placed in a lens barrel, 0.30 ≤ f1 / R1 < 0.70, 0.90 < f34 / f2 ≤ 1.25, 0.50 < EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) < 1.25, f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens, R1 is the curvature radius of the object side surface of the first lens, f34 is the combined focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens, f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens, EP01 is the distance along the optical axis from the object side end face of the lens barrel to the object side surface of the first spacer element, EP12 is the axial spacing distance between the first spacer element and the second spacer element, and ∑CP1 is the sum of the maximum thicknesses of all spacer elements along the optical axis between the first lens and the second lens.

[0027] Figure 1 Shows a local stress diagram of the optical imaging lens when f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 0.35; Figure 2 Shows a local stress diagram of the optical imaging lens when f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 1.1; Figure 3The local stress diagram of the optical imaging lens when f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 1.5 is shown.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the local stress was obtained under the conditions of f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 0.35, and the fitting clearance between the first lens and the lens barrel was 0.005 mm. After assembly, the maximum local stress of the first lens = 5.66 MP, the local stress is relatively large, the risk of cracking of the first lens during the assembly process is relatively large, and the assembly stability is relatively poor.

[0029] As Figure 2 shown, the local stress was obtained under the conditions of f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 1.1, and the fitting clearance between the first lens and the lens barrel was 0.005 mm. After assembly, the maximum local stress of the first lens is less than 3 MP, there is no risk of cracking of the first lens during the assembly process, and the stability is relatively good.

[0030] As Figure 3 shown, the local stress was obtained under the conditions of f1 / R1 = 0.57, f34 / f2 = 0.95, and EP01 / (EP12 + ∑CP1) = 1.5, and the fitting clearance between the first lens and the lens barrel was 0.005 mm. After assembly, the maximum local stress of the first lens = 5.03 MP, there is a risk of cracking of the first lens during the assembly process, and the stability is relatively poor.

[0031] The effective focal length of the first lens and the curvature radius of the object side surface satisfy 0.30 ≤ f1 / R1 < 0.70, and the combined focal length f34 of the third lens and the fourth lens and the effective focal length f2 of the second lens satisfy 0.90 < f34 / f2 ≤ 1.25. Due to the limitations of the focal length of each lens on the focal length and surface shape of the first lens, the first lens is thinner in the middle and thicker at the edges as a whole. If the thickness of its non-light-passing area is set improperly, it will cause cracking of the first lens. Based on Figure 1-3 the visible local stress diagram, the distance relationship among the light-passing constraints EP01, EP12, and ∑CP1 in this application can constrain the thickness of the non-light-passing area of the first lens, and further control the overall shape of the first lens, at least partially avoiding the cracking problem of the first lens caused by excessive stress during the assembly process, and improving the production yield and the long-term stability of the lens.

[0032] In the present application, ∑CP1 is the sum of the maximum thicknesses of all the spacer elements between the first lens and the second lens along the optical axis direction. For example, when all the spacer elements between the first lens and the second lens include not only the first spacer element, but also the first auxiliary spacer element and the first secondary auxiliary spacer element, the maximum thickness of the first spacer element along the optical axis direction is denoted as CP1, the maximum thickness of the first auxiliary spacer element along the optical axis direction is denoted as CP1b, and the maximum thickness of the first secondary auxiliary spacer element along the optical axis direction is denoted as CP1c. Then, ∑CP1 = CP1 + CP1b + CP1c. For specific details, please refer to Embodiment 1 below. Another example, when all the spacer elements between the first lens and the second lens include not only the first spacer element, but also the first auxiliary spacer element, then ∑CP1 = CP1 + CP1b. ∑CP2 is the sum of the maximum thicknesses of all the spacer elements between the second lens and the third lens along the optical axis direction, and by analogy with ∑CP1.

[0033] In an exemplary embodiment, the distance TD on the optical axis from the object side surface of the first lens to the image side surface of the fourth lens, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens, and half of the maximum field angle Semi - FOV of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 1.55 < TD / f tan(Semi - FOV) ≤ 1.85. By constraining the above conditional expressions within the range, this embodiment is beneficial for controlling the overall optical length of the lens and achieving the required field of view size, reducing the vignetting effect of marginal rays, and improving the brightness uniformity of the full - field imaging.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment, the central thickness CT2 of the second lens, the central thickness CT1 of the first lens, the sum ∑CP1 of the maximum thicknesses of all the spacer elements between the first lens and the second lens along the optical axis direction, the sum ∑CP2 of the maximum thicknesses of all the spacer elements between the second lens and the third lens along the optical axis direction, and the axial spacing distance EP12 between the first spacer element and the second spacer element satisfy: 1.65 < CT2 / CT1 ≤ 3.00, 1.25 ≤ (∑CP1 + ∑CP2) / EP12 < 6.00. Since the on - axis air gap between the first lens and the second lens is relatively large and the central thickness of the second lens is greater than that of the first lens, by controlling the reasonable proportional relationship among ∑CP1, ∑CP2, and EP12, the spacer elements between the first lens and the second lens can effectively bear the weight of the lens and external forces, preventing the first lens and the second lens from shifting or deforming when the lens is subjected to vibrations, impacts, etc., thus ensuring the structural stability of the lens.

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner diameter d0s of the object-side end face of the lens barrel, the inner diameter d3s of the object-side face of the third spacer element, and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 1.45 ≤ d0s / d3s < 2.30, 2.50 < d0s / EPD < 4.00. By restricting the proportional relationship among the light-passing aperture d0s of the lens barrel, the light-passing aperture d3s of the rear lens group, and the entrance pupil diameter, it is beneficial to optimize the light-passing path of marginal rays, enabling the lens to achieve a more compact overall optical length layout and higher structural assembly stability at a large aperture, while taking into account the aberration correction and light-passing amount requirements for imaging at a large aperture.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of spacer elements further includes a fourth spacer element disposed on the image side of the fourth lens and in contact with the image-side face of the fourth lens. The effective focal length f3 of the third lens, the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens, the air gap T34 between the third lens and the fourth lens on the optical axis, the spacing distance EP23 between the second spacer element and the third spacer element along the optical axis, and the spacing distance EP34 between the third spacer element and the fourth spacer element along the optical axis satisfy: -8.10 ≤ (f3 + f4) / T34 < -5.50, 10.45 ≤ (EP23 + EP34) / T34 < 15.20. The distribution of the optical powers of the third lens and the fourth lens results in a relatively small on-axis gap between these two lenses. The above proportional relationship defines the relationship between the axial distances of the second spacer element, the third spacer element, and the fourth spacer element and the air gap between the third lens and the fourth lens, enabling the axial distances of the aforementioned three spacer elements and the air gap between the lenses to form a structurally cooperative relationship of mutual constraint and mutual limitation, avoiding light-axis deviation and out-of-control spacing distances caused by minor offsets of the spacer elements (such as machining / assembly tolerances) during the assembly process, and improving the assembly yield of the optical lens.

[0037] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f1 of the first lens and the inner diameter d1s of the object-side face of the first spacer element satisfy: -1.30 < f1 / d1s < -0.50. This embodiment helps to ensure that the light incident on the lens barrel can be effectively received by the second lens and continue to propagate after being refracted and diverged by the first lens, thus ensuring the coherence of the imaging optical path.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens and the entrance pupil diameter EPD of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 1.75 < f / EPD < 1.85. By restricting the effective focal length and the entrance pupil diameter of the optical imaging lens within this range, it is beneficial for the lens to have sufficient light-passing amount to capture clear images when used at night.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f1 of the first lens, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens, the distance EP01 from the object-side end face of the lens barrel to the object-side surface of the first spacer element along the optical axis, and the central thickness CT1 of the first lens satisfy: -1.30 < f1 / f < -0.95, 3.90 < EP01 / CT1 < 7.40. By constraining the focal length ratio and thickness ratio of the first lens, this embodiment can facilitate better stability of the first lens in the face of different environmental conditions, such as temperature changes and mechanical vibrations, and reduce optical performance changes and imaging deviations caused by thermal expansion and contraction.

[0040] In an exemplary embodiment, the air gap T12 between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis, the air gap T23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis, the air gap T34 between the third lens and the fourth lens on the optical axis, the maximum height L of the lens barrel, the sum ∑CP1 of the maximum thicknesses of all spacer elements along the optical axis between the first lens and the second lens, and the sum ∑CP2 of the maximum thicknesses of all spacer elements along the optical axis between the second lens and the third lens satisfy: 19.75 ≤ (T12 + T23) / T34 < 34.45, 2.40 ≤ L / (∑CP1 + ∑CP2) < 4.45. In this embodiment, the relatively large air gaps between adjacent lenses of the first lens, the second lens, and the third lens can effectively correct aberrations, and at the same time, setting reasonable spacer element thicknesses between the lenses is beneficial for stable bearing between the lenses.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment, the inner diameter d0m of the image-side end face of the lens barrel, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens, and half of the maximum field angle Semi-FOV of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 3.40 < d0m / (f tan(Semi-FOV) < 4.75. By constraining the inner diameter of the image-side end face of the lens barrel through the above conditional formula, it is avoided that the inner diameter of the lens barrel is too small to intercept the effective light rays hitting the image plane or too large to cause excessive light rays to exit and hit the imaging plane, affecting the final imaging quality.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment, the air gap T23 between the second lens and the third lens on the optical axis and the maximum value CP2max of the maximum thicknesses of all spacer elements along the optical axis between the second lens and the third lens satisfy: 0.80 < T23 / CP2max < 1.20. By constraining the above conditional formula, the ratio of the air gap between the second lens and the third lens to the thickness of the spacer element is reasonably set, ensuring that when the lens is affected by external factors such as mechanical vibrations, shocks, and temperature changes, the relative positions between the second lens and the third lens and the structure of the lens are less likely to change, and better optical performance can be maintained.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment, the outer diameter D3m of the image side of the third spacer element and the inner diameter d3s of the object side of the third spacer element satisfy: 2.05 < D3m / d3s < 4.25. This embodiment constrains the light-blocking effective annular surface of the third spacer element by restricting the ratio of the outer diameter of the image side to the inner diameter of the object side of the third spacer element, which is beneficial for finally absorbing the excess light at the edge and reducing the risk of stray light.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment, the effective focal length f3 of the third lens, the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens, and the effective focal length f4 of the fourth lens satisfy: 0.60 ≤ f3 / f ≤ 0.75, -1.55 < f4 / f3 < -1.30. By constraining the above conditional expressions, this embodiment helps to synergistically allocate the contributions of the third lens and the fourth lens in the lens to the convergence or divergence of light, optimize the incident angle and deflection state of light passing through the third lens and the fourth lens, avoid sudden changes in light deflection, scattering at the lens interface, and generation of stray light, and at the same time systematically correct aberrations, improving the imaging stability and imaging quality of the lens.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment, the f-number FNO of the optical imaging lens and half of the maximum field angle Semi-FOV of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 2.35 < FNO / tan(Semi-FOV) < 2.80. This embodiment indirectly constrains the f-number through the above value range, ensuring that the lens has an appropriate light input while satisfying a certain imaging range (determined by the field angle), so as to obtain a clear and bright image.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the combined focal length f34 of the third lens and the fourth lens and the effective focal length f of the optical imaging lens satisfy: 1.65 ≤ f34 / f ≤ 2.26. By restricting the ratio of the combined focal length of the third lens and the fourth lens to the effective focal length of the optical imaging lens, it is beneficial for the correction of aberrations and the improvement of imaging quality.

[0047] The optical imaging lens in the present application employs four lenses. In the present application, at least one of the mirror surfaces of the multiple lenses can be an aspherical mirror surface. The characteristics of an aspherical lens are that the curvature continuously changes from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens. Different from a spherical lens with a constant curvature from the center of the lens to the periphery of the lens, an aspherical lens has better curvature radius characteristics and has the advantages of improving distortion aberration and astigmatism aberration. After using an aspherical lens, it is possible to eliminate the aberrations that occur during imaging as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality.

Figure 4The inner diameter d0s of the object-side end face of the lens barrel, the inner diameter d1s of the object-side surface of the first spacer element, the inner diameter d3s of the object-side surface of the third spacer element, the outer diameter D3m of the image-side surface of the third spacer element, the inner diameter d0m of the image-side end face of the lens barrel, the distance EP01 from the object-side end face of the lens barrel to the object-side surface of the first spacer element along the optical axis, the spacing distance EP12 between the first and second spacer elements along the optical axis, the spacing distance EP23 between the second and third spacer elements along the optical axis, the spacing distance EP34 between the third and fourth spacer elements along the optical axis, and the maximum thickness CP2 of the second spacer element along the optical axis between the second and third lenses are indicated in the figures to clearly and intuitively explain the meaning of these parameters. To facilitate the description of the optical imaging lens and the specific lens shape, these parameters will not be shown in the accompanying drawings when describing specific embodiments.
