Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of optical elements, and specifically, to an endoscope adapter lens. Background Art

[0002] An endoscope adapter lens, also known as a bayonet lens, is used to cooperate with an endoscope and simultaneously connect a camera device to transmit the image detected by the endoscope to the camera device for the user to observe better.

[0003] During the use of an endoscope, a single magnification image is difficult to meet the use requirements. Therefore, a zoomable adapter is needed to present images of different magnifications for the user to observe.

[0004] The currently used endoscope adapter lenses generally have the following disadvantages: 1) During the zooming process, first zoom and then adjust compensation, and the image formed during the intermediate process is blurred. 2) When the object distance changes, the position of the conjugate image changes accordingly. To make the position of the conjugate image consistent, the existing adapter lenses refocus by moving the compensation group, and the movement of the compensation group changes the original magnification, and the imaging range changes accordingly.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design an endoscope adapter lens with independent focusing and zooming functions. When the focusing is completed at different object distances, the image can always be clear during the zooming process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0039] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] The features, principles and other aspects of the present application will be described in detail below.

[0041] The endoscope adapter lens according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application may include three lens groups with optical powers, namely, a first lens group with a positive optical power, a second lens group with a negative optical power, and a third lens group with a positive optical power. These three lens groups are arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. Among them, the first lens group includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a first lens, a second lens, and a third lens; the second lens group includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a fourth lens, a fifth lens, and a sixth lens; the third lens group includes, in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side: a seventh lens, an eighth lens, a ninth lens, a tenth lens, an eleventh lens, a twelfth lens, a thirteenth lens, a fourteenth lens, and a fifteenth lens.

[0042] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the object distance changes, the first lens group, the second lens group, and the third lens group can all move along the optical axis. Among them, the first lens group is the focusing group. When the object distance changes, the position of the conjugate image changes accordingly. The first lens group moves along the optical axis for focusing to adjust the position of the conjugate image to the same position without changing the magnification, ensuring imaging stability. The second lens group is the zooming group. The second lens group can move along the optical axis between the object side and the image side to enable the endoscope adapter lens to achieve continuous zooming between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end. The third lens group is the compensating group. The compensating group compensates for the defocus caused by the movement of the zooming group during the zooming process to ensure real-time clarity of imaging; that is, the third lens group moves along the optical axis corresponding to the movement of the second lens group to achieve the compensation effect of the change in the image plane position during the zooming process.

[0043] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the number of lenses with optical powers in the first lens group is three, the number of lenses with optical powers in the second lens group is three, and the number of lenses with optical powers in the third lens group is nine.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the position of the second lens group along the optical axis is adjustable, that is, the second lens group can move from the image side to the object side or from the object side to the image side along the optical axis to enable the endoscope adapter lens to perform continuous zooming. Specifically, by changing the position of the second lens group on the optical axis, the endoscope adapter lens can be switched from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end or from the telephoto end to the wide-angle end to enable the endoscope adapter lens to perform continuous zooming.

[0045] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the position of the third lens group along the optical axis is adjustable. For example, the third lens group can move along the optical axis corresponding to the movement of the second lens group to achieve the compensation effect, so that the imaging position of the endoscope adapter lens remains unchanged during the zooming process and the image formed is always clear.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the second lens group and the third lens group form a linkage combination to achieve the zoom function of the system; that is, the second lens group moves for zooming, and the third lens group moves for compensation, both occurring simultaneously, ensuring that the imaging remains clear throughout the entire process of zooming.

[0047] The focusing function and the zoom function of the endoscope adapter lens provided in the present application can be performed independently. After the focusing for different object distances of the endoscope adapter lens is completed, during the process of zooming, clear imaging can be achieved. When this lens is applied to an endoscope, it is convenient for hand-held use during the surgical process.

[0048] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the first lens group includes, in order 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, and a third lens with a positive optical power.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, both the object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens are concave; the image side surface of the second lens is convex; and the object side surface of the third lens is convex. As the first lens of the first lens group, the first lens has a negative optical power, the object side surface is concave, and the image side surface is concave. Setting the first lens in this shape can make the light rays have a gentle trend on the premise of meeting certain requirements for the field of view angle and image height, effectively correct aberrations, and reduce the sensitivity of the system to tolerances.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the number of lenses with optical power in the second lens group is three. The second lens group includes, in order from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a fourth lens with a negative optical power, a fifth lens with a positive optical power, and a sixth lens with a negative optical power.

[0051] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, both the object side surface and the image side surface of the fourth lens are concave; the object side surface of the fifth lens is concave, and the image side surface is convex; the object side surface of the sixth lens is concave. As the first two lenses of the second lens group, the fourth lens has a negative optical power, the object side surface is concave, and the image side surface is concave. The fifth lens has a positive optical power, the object side surface is concave, and the image side surface is convex. Setting the fourth lens and the fifth lens in this shape is beneficial for the light rays passing through the first lens group to transition smoothly to the second lens group, reducing the tolerance sensitivity and correcting various aberrations of the system.

[0052] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the fifth lens and the sixth lens can form a doublet lens, which is beneficial for correcting field curvature and reducing the defocus amount of the infrared spectrum relative to the visible spectrum, achieving the infrared confocal function of the lens.

[0053] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the third lens group sequentially includes, from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: a seventh lens with a positive focal power; an eighth lens with a positive focal power; a ninth lens with a negative focal power; a tenth lens with a positive focal power; an eleventh lens with a negative focal power; a twelfth lens with a positive focal power; a thirteenth lens with a negative focal power; a fourteenth lens with a negative focal power; and a fifteenth lens with a positive focal power.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, both the object side surface and the image side surface of the seventh lens are convex surfaces; both the object side surface and the image side surface of the eighth lens are convex surfaces; the object side surface of the ninth lens is a concave surface; the image side surface of the eleventh lens is a concave surface; both the object side surface and the image side surface of the twelfth lens are convex surfaces; the object side surface of the thirteenth lens is a concave surface and the image side surface is a convex surface; the object side surface of the fourteenth lens is a concave surface; the image side surface of the fifteenth lens is a convex surface. The seventh lens has a positive focal power, the object side surface is convex, and the image side surface is convex. The eighth lens has a positive focal power, the object side surface is convex, and the image side surface is convex. The fifteenth lens has a positive focal power, the image side surface is convex, and the object side surface can be a convex surface or a concave surface. Reasonably setting the positions, focal powers, and shapes of the above three lenses is beneficial to meeting a certain field of view angle and image height, and at the same time, it can correct system aberrations, reduce tolerance sensitivity, and improve resolution.

[0055] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the eighth lens and the ninth lens can form a doublet lens, which is beneficial to reducing the system tolerance sensitivity.

[0056] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the eleventh lens, the twelfth lens, and the thirteenth lens can form a triplet lens, which is beneficial to correcting chromatic aberration and reducing the system tolerance sensitivity.

[0057] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the fourteenth lens and the fifteenth lens can form a doublet lens, which is beneficial to reducing the system tolerance sensitivity.

[0058] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application further includes a diaphragm disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group. The diaphragm is beneficial to converging the light entering the lens, reducing the rear aperture diameter of the lens, and reducing the assembly sensitivity of the system. In an embodiment of the present application, the diaphragm can be disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens. However, it should be noted that the position of the diaphragm disclosed herein is only an example and not a limitation; in alternative embodiments, the diaphragm can also be disposed at other positions according to actual needs.

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application further includes a front protective glass disposed on the object side of the first lens and a rear protective glass disposed on the image side of the fifteenth lens. The protective glass plays a protective role of waterproof, dustproof, and scratch-resistant.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 1.45 ≤ |φ2| / φ3 ≤ 1.60, where φ2 is the optical power of the second lens group and φ3 is the optical power of the third lens group. Satisfying 1.45 ≤ |φ2| / φ3 ≤ 1.60 enables the optical powers of the second lens group and the third lens group to be matched within a reasonable range, achieving stable zooming with a focal length ranging from 14 mm to 32 mm; and ensuring a linear correlation between the zooming and compensation curves, such that the image quality remains clear in real time throughout the zooming process without blurring. When this lens is applied to an endoscope, it can improve the reliability of the endoscope during surgery.

[0061] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, when the object distance of the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application is infinity, the first lens group is located at the first position on the optical axis. When the object distance of the endoscopic adapter lens is 300 mm, the first lens group is located at the second position on the optical axis, and it can satisfy: 8.50 ≤ f1 / (d inf -d near ) ≤ 11.80, where f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group, and (d inf -d near ) is the distance between the first position and the second position on the optical axis. Satisfying 8.50 ≤ f1 / (d inf -d near ) ≤ 11.80, when the object distance of the camera changes, the movement of the first lens group can adjust the corresponding conjugate image distance, enabling imaging on the same image plane, thereby achieving the focusing function and maintaining a stable image plane with clear imaging. When this lens is applied to an endoscope, it facilitates real-time focusing imaging of different spatial parts during surgery.

[0062] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 0.35 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f w ≤ 0.45, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and f w is the total effective focal length of the endoscopic adapter lens at the wide-angle end. Satisfying 0.35 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f w ≤ 0.45 is beneficial for the second lens group and the third lens group to achieve a minimum focal length of 14 mm during linkage, and to ensure a linear correlation between zooming and compensation, with clear imaging in real time throughout the process.

[0063] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscopic adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 0.15 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f t ≤ 0.20, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and f tis the total effective focal length when the endoscope adapter lens is at the long focal end. It satisfies 0.15 ≤ (f2 + f3) / f t ≤ 0.20, which is beneficial for the second lens group and the third lens group to achieve the longest focal length of the lens up to 32 mm during linkage, and ensure the linear correlation between zooming and compensation, and keep the imaging clear in real time throughout the process.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 0.35 ≤ S / f1 ≤ 0.53, where S is the entrance pupil distance of the endoscope adapter lens (i.e., the distance between the image formed by the diaphragm passing through the first lens group and the positioning surface), and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group. The diaphragm is located behind the first lens group, and the image formed by the diaphragm passing through the first lens group is the entrance pupil of the optical imaging system. Among them, the positioning surface is located on the object side of the first lens. More specifically, the positioning surface is located at a position 3 mm on the object side of the front protective glass of the endoscope adapter lens; satisfying 0.35 ≤ S / f1 ≤ 0.53 is beneficial for the first lens group to focus on different object distances while ensuring that the change in the entrance pupil position is within a small range, and can adapt to more front-end endoscope main lenses.

[0065] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: -1.28 ≤ f2 / Z2 ≤ -1.00, where f2 is the effective focal length of the second lens group, and Z2 is the distance that the second lens group moves on the optical axis. Satisfying -1.28 ≤ f2 / Z2 ≤ -1.00, the second lens group is a zoom group, which can reach the preset zoom range of the lens within a short axial movement distance, making the lens overall compact and lightweight, and convenient for handheld use. Specifically, Z2 is the axial distance between the position of the second lens group on the optical axis when the endoscope adapter lens is at the wide-angle end and the position of the second lens group on the optical axis when the endoscope adapter lens is at the long focal end.

[0066] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 0.51 ≤ f3 / Z3 ≤ 0.62, where f3 is the effective focal length of the third lens group, and Z3 is the distance that the third lens group moves on the optical axis. Satisfying 0.51 ≤ f3 / Z3 ≤ 0.62, the third lens group is a compensation group corresponding to the second lens group, which can satisfy the compensation function of the zoom range within a short axial movement distance, ensure clear imaging, and make the lens overall compact and lightweight, and convenient for handheld use. Specifically, Z3 is the axial distance between the position of the third lens group on the optical axis when the endoscope adapter lens is at the wide-angle end and the position of the third lens group on the optical axis when the endoscope adapter lens is at the long focal end.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application further includes a positioning surface disposed on the object side of the first lens. More specifically, the positioning surface is located 3 mm from the object side of the front protective glass of the endoscope adapter lens, and can satisfy: 0.21≤BFL / TTL≤0.26, wherein BFL is the distance from the image side of the fifteenth lens to the imaging surface of the endoscope adapter lens, and TTL is the axial distance from the positioning surface to the imaging surface of the endoscope adapter lens. Satisfying 0.21≤BFL / TTL≤0.26 can accommodate filters and rear protective glass; can meet the requirements of the C interface, and can meet the requirements of the CS interface through the adapter ring; can also shorten the overall length of the lens, making the lens as a whole compact and light, and convenient for handheld use.

[0068] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: 0.18≤EPD / f1≤0.20, where EPD is the entrance pupil diameter of the endoscope adapter lens, and f1 is the effective focal length of the first lens group. When 0.18≤EPD / f1≤0.20 is satisfied, the image formed by the aperture through the first lens group is the entrance pupil of the optical imaging system. While the first lens group realizes focusing at different object distances, it ensures that the system entrance pupil diameter is greater than a fixed value, so that enough light enters the system to participate in imaging, thereby improving the brightness and clarity of the imaging.

[0069] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application can satisfy: -1.90≤L7_R1 / L7_R2≤-0.70, wherein L7_R1 is the radius of curvature of the object side of the seventh lens, and L7_R2 is the radius of curvature of the image side of the seventh lens. Satisfying -1.90≤L7_R1 / L7_R2≤-0.70, the seventh lens is placed at the front end of the third lens group in a biconvex shape and a certain range of optical power, receiving the light from the second lens group, reducing the height of the light, and reducing the incident angle of the light, which is conducive to correcting aberrations and reducing the sensitivity of tolerances.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application satisfies: 2.40≤Vd6 / Vd5≤2.81, wherein Vd5 is the Abbe number of the fifth lens, and Vd6 is the Abbe number of the sixth lens. The fifth lens and the sixth lens satisfy 2.40≤Vd6 / Vd5≤2.81, which is beneficial to the correction of field curvature and the reduction of the defocus amount of the infrared spectrum relative to the visible spectrum, thereby realizing the infrared confocal function of the lens.

[0071] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application satisfies: 2.50 ≤ Vd12 / Vd11 ≤ 3.20, where Vd11 is the Abbe number of the eleventh lens and Vd12 is the Abbe number of the twelfth lens. The fact that the eleventh lens and the twelfth lens satisfy 2.50 ≤ Vd12 / Vd11 ≤ 3.20 is beneficial to correcting the chromatic aberration of the visible spectrum, reducing the secondary spectrum, and reducing the tolerance sensitivity.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the endoscope adapter lens according to the present application satisfies: 2.40 ≤ Vd12 / Vd13 ≤ 3.18, where Vd12 is the Abbe number of the twelfth lens and Vd13 is the Abbe number of the thirteenth lens. The fact that the twelfth lens and the thirteenth lens satisfy 2.40 ≤ Vd12 / Vd13 ≤ 3.18 is beneficial to correcting the chromatic aberration of the visible spectrum, reducing the secondary spectrum, and reducing the tolerance sensitivity.

[0073] In an exemplary embodiment, the first lens to the fifteenth lens can be spherical lenses or aspherical lenses. The present application does not specifically limit the specific number of spherical lenses and aspherical lenses. When focusing on reflecting the imaging quality, the number of aspherical lenses can be increased, and even all lenses can be aspherical lenses. The characteristic of an aspherical lens is that the curvature continuously changes from the center to the periphery of the lens. Different from a spherical lens with a constant curvature from the center 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 aberration that appears during imaging as much as possible, thereby improving the imaging quality of the lens. Optionally, the object side and the image side of the first lens to the fifteenth lens are spherical mirror surfaces.

[0074] The endoscope adapter lens of the present application has excellent resolution, with a resolution of more than 4K.

[0075] The endoscope adapter lens of the present application has the characteristics of a small volume and a short overall length. The distance TTL from the object side of the first lens to the imaging surface on the optical axis satisfies: TTL ≤ 70 mm, enabling the endoscope adapter lens to have a smaller overall length, meeting the miniaturization characteristics, and maximizing the performance with as small a volume as possible.

[0076] The endoscope adapter lens of the present application can focus on a wide range of object distances, and can ensure clear focus for object distances from 0.3 m to infinity throughout the zoom process, with good imaging effects.

[0077] The endoscope adapter lens of the present application can achieve infrared confocal, ensuring the imaging performance in the infrared band in the design, and combined with the use of an infrared fill light, enabling the lens to be applicable to night scenes and the endoscope field.

[0078] The endoscopic adapter lens of the present application can adopt a hybrid glass-plastic structure, which reduces the design cost while ensuring a large magnification ratio.

[0079] The single-component and assembly tolerances of the endoscopic adapter lens of the present application are good, and it has good manufacturability.

[0080] By reasonably setting the optical power of each lens group and the optical power and surface shape of each lens in the present application, it is beneficial for the endoscopic adapter lens to have good ability to correct optical aberrations and chromatic aberrations when switching between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end. At the same time, it is beneficial to reduce the tolerance sensitivity of the system and improve the uniformity of the picture and other effects.

[0081] Optionally, in other alternative exemplary embodiments, the above endoscopic adapter lens may further include a filter for correcting color deviation.

[0082] However, those skilled in the art should understand that without departing from the technical solutions claimed in the present application, the number of lenses constituting the endoscopic adapter lens can be changed to obtain the various results and advantages described in this specification. For example, although fifteen lenses are described as an example in the embodiment, the endoscopic adapter lens is not limited to including fifteen lenses. If necessary, the endoscopic adapter lens may further include other numbers of lenses.

[0098] In Embodiment 1 and the following embodiments, when the object distance changes, the first lens group G1, the second lens group G2, and the third lens group G3 all move along the optical axis. The first lens group G1 moves along the optical axis for focusing, and without changing the magnification, the position of the conjugate image is adjusted to the same position to ensure imaging stability. By changing the position of the second lens group G2 on the optical axis, the endoscopic adapter lens can be switched from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end or from the telephoto end to the wide-angle end, so that the total effective focal length of the endoscopic adapter lens is continuously variable. At the same time, by adjusting the position of the third lens group G3 on the optical axis, the image plane can be clearly focused during the zooming process of the endoscopic adapter lens.
