Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to a small-size hard tube endoscope optical system. Background technology:
[0002] The commonly used rigid tube endoscope objective lens group structure is a combination of a plano-concave lens and a biconvex lens. However, due to the small R value of the concave surface of the plano-concave lens when the structure has a large field of view and a small size, the lens processing is difficult.
[0003] The optical image transfer system structure of the early rigid tube endoscope is composed of a pair of double-cemented thin lens groups, with the aperture located in the middle, and the vertical axis aberration is well corrected. However, due to the use of thin lens groups, the lenses are prone to tilt during assembly, which affects the image quality of the system.
[0004] The relay group of the currently commonly used rigid tube endoscope optical system contains multiple groups of image transfer lens groups with the same structure, using double or triple cemented lenses, one of which is a Hopkins rod lens. One end of the Hopkins rod lens is glued to a thin negative lens with a negative focal length. The thin negative lens uses high refractive index and high dispersion optical glass to correct axial chromatic aberration, but cannot correct field curvature. Compared with the early structure, this image transfer structure has a high light energy transmittance. The advantage of this rigid tube endoscope optical image transfer system is that the structure is simple and the light energy transmittance is higher than that of the early image transfer structure. The disadvantage is that the radius of the non-cemented surface of the Hopkins rod lens is large, and it is difficult to process using traditional optical processing technology.
[0005] It can be seen that the design of the objective lens group and the relay lens group has a great influence on the manufacturing of large-field-of-view and small-size rigid tube endoscopes. Utility model content:
