Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of imaging lenses, in particular to a lens and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Optical lenses have the function of light transmission and are widely used in various imaging fields such as automotive, security, and intelligent manufacturing. As a precision optical component, optical lenses have strict requirements on manufacturing and installation accuracy, and their imaging performance is sensitive to different temperatures. Optical lenses are usually installed in the lens barrel in a superimposed or interlocked manner. During assembly, they are circumferentially fixed by the inner wall of the lens barrel and axially fixed by locking rings, front rings, spacers, and lens barrels. However, under high or low temperature conditions, due to the different axial and radial expansion and contraction of the lenses, spacers, and lens barrels, extrusion occurs between the components, causing deformation of the optical effective diameter and thus affecting the optical performance (in the radial direction, extrusion deformation occurs in the radial direction because the high-temperature expansion of the lens is greater than the expansion of the lens barrel or the low-temperature contraction of the lens is less than the contraction of the lens barrel).

[0003] The existing lens barrel design generally considers installation boundaries, processing convenience, etc. The general lens barrel wall thickness is relatively uniform, but due to the extrusion between the lens barrel and the lens, the temperature drift movement is caused, which cannot meet the needs of customers. Different lenses have different sensitivities to temperature drift. The greater the thickness, the greater the radial force, the greater the change in the lens surface shape, and the more intense the temperature drift movement. In order to reduce the influence of the radial force of the entire lens, the thickness of the lens barrel wall on the outside of each lens needs to be designed to reduce the influence of the radial force on the temperature drift.
