[0002] With the rapid development of industrial automation and detector chip technology, the requirements for the performance and environmental adaptability of industrial lenses have been greatly improved. The market urgently demands an athermalized industrial lens with a wide working wavelength band, high resolution, low distortion, and strong environmental adaptability. Based on the above requirements, the present invention designs an athermalized industrial lens with a wide wavelength band, high resolution, and low distortion. The lens can clearly image within the environmental temperature range of -40°C to +60°C and the working distance range of 150 mm to infinity. It has excellent imaging quality, a wide working wavelength band, strong light-gathering ability, and good environmental adaptability, and can be widely applied to fields such as optical imaging, machine vision, non-destructive testing, driverless, and civilian security monitoring. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to design an athermalized visible light industrial lens with high resolution, a wide working wavelength band, low distortion, a wide working distance range, and strong environmental adaptability. The present invention provides an athermalized industrial lens with a wide wavelength band, high resolution, and low distortion.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

The first lens, second lens, diaphragm, third lens, and fourth lens of the industrial lens are coaxially arranged with the detector photosensitive surface. The industrial lens is used to receive the visible light reflection information inherent in the target and background, converge it to the detector photosensitive surface, and achieve photoelectric conversion. The detector uses a 6 million pixel high-resolution small pixel detector with a resolution of 2500×2500 and a pixel size of 2.75 μm. The industrial lens can clearly image within the environmental temperature range of -40°C to +60°C and the working distance range of 150 mm to infinity, with an optical distortion ≤ 0.6%. It has technical characteristics such as excellent imaging quality, high resolution, low distortion, and a replaceable interface quickly, and has broad application prospects.

The material properties are fully considered, and the contradiction between optical aberration and thermal difference is effectively balanced by reasonably matching the lens focal length and using advanced aberration theory. A full-spherical lens is used to achieve a wide-temperature athermal design of the industrial lens, and clear imaging is achieved within the operating temperature range of -40°C to +60°C. At -40°C, at 180lp / mm, the transfer function value of the 0 field of view is ≥0.45, and the transfer function value of the remaining fields of view is ≥0.18; at 20°C, at 180lp / mm, the transfer function value of the 0 field of view is ≥0.48, and the transfer function value of the remaining fields of view is ≥0.19; at +60°C, at 180lp / mm, the transfer function value of the 0 field of view is ≥0.45, and the transfer function value of the remaining fields of view is ≥0.15.
