Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of lenses, in particular to an ultra-wide-angle 8M front-view main camera. Background Art

[0002] Vehicle autonomous driving includes perception, judgment and execution, and perception is the source of the whole process and an important module of the autonomous driving system. During the driving process of the vehicle, the perception system will collect information about the surrounding environment in real time through the camera module, which is equivalent to the "eyes" of the autonomous driving car, and can help the car achieve the same observation ability as human drivers. The front-view camera installed on the front windshield is used to realize the visual perception and recognition function of driving. According to the function, it can be divided into the front-view main camera, the front-view narrow-angle camera and the front-view wide-angle camera. However, the use of three cameras greatly increases the cost of the entire camera module, which is not conducive to the popularization of the market. Among them, the front-view wide-angle camera is mainly used to identify objects at a close distance. It is mainly used in scenes such as urban road conditions and low-speed driving. Its field of view is 120°~150° and the detection distance is about 50m. Therefore, if the ultra-wide-angle 8MP lens is installed on a large scale, this camera can be eliminated, thereby reducing costs and increasing market popularity. Utility Model Content

[0006] Furthermore, the first lens satisfies the relationship: 2.0≤Nd≤2.3, Vd≤50.0; the second lens satisfies the relationship: 1.5≤Nd≤1.8, Vd≥50.0; the third lens satisfies the relationship: 1.7≤Nd≤2.0, Vd≤50.0; the fourth lens satisfies the relationship: 1.7≤Nd≤2.0, Vd≤50.0; the fifth lens satisfies the relationship: 1.5≤Nd≤1.8, Vd≥50.0; the sixth lens satisfies the relationship: 1.7≤Nd≤2.0, Vd≤50.0; the seventh lens satisfies the relationship: 1.7≤Nd≤2.0, Vd≥50.0; wherein Nd is the refractive index and Vd is the Abbe constant.

[0008] Furthermore, a filter is arranged on the rear side of the seventh lens.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The imaging angle of the lens to the object is greater than 170 degrees. It has the advantages of ultra-high 8M imaging clarity, large aperture, low tolerance sensitivity and good high and low temperature stability. At the same time, it can monitor the scene outside the car more comprehensively.

[0011] 2. Through the reasonable matching of optical lenses, the system structure is compact and reasonable, easy to assemble, with low tolerance sensitivity, and more suitable for large-scale high-yield production;

[0028] In this embodiment, the aspheric curve equations of the second and seventh lenses are expressed as follows:

[0029]

[0030] Wherein, Z is the height of the aspheric surface from the vertex of the aspheric surface when the aspheric surface is at a height of r along the optical axis; c is the paraxial curvature of the aspheric surface; k is the cone constant; , , , , , , , All are high-order coefficients.

[0032]

[0033] In this embodiment, the total optical length TTL of the optical system and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy the following relationship: TTL / f≤8.0.

[0034] In this embodiment, the F number of the optical system is ≤1.6.

[0035] In this embodiment, the image height H of the optical system and the focal length f of the optical system satisfy: H / f≥1.0.

[0036] In this embodiment, a filter is disposed on the rear side of the seventh lens.

[0043]

While realizing the visual perception and recognition function of driving, 8MP imaging is achieved, which can replace the front wide-angle camera and the front narrow-angle camera, and realize the front camera module composed of a single lens, greatly reducing the cost to increase market popularity.
