[0020] 1. In the prior art II, the lens 1 is integrally formed, while in the present invention, the lens 1 and the support portion 2 are made of different materials and are formed separately, so that the lens 1 and the support portion 2 have different characteristics. The support portion 2 is telescopic. Since the support portion 2 is not integrally provided with the lens 1, the expansion and contraction of the support portion 2 will not affect the surface shape of the lens 1, and the lens 1 has a stable optical shaping effect. The telescopic height of the support portion 2 can compensate for the influence of temperature on the refractive index of the lens 1, thereby solving the problem of the migration of the focal region S.

[0030] The implementation of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

This is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the accompanying drawings are only for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation of this patent. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0032] Refer to Figures 1-5 as shown, which is a preferred embodiment provided by the present utility model.
[0033] The optical lens module includes a lens 1 and a support portion 2. Refer to Figure 1 . The lens 1 is a converging lens 1, and light passing through the lens 1 will form a focal area S. The application scenario can be set with a response area L to detect the focal area S.
[0034] The support portion 2 is provided below the lens 1 and is used to support the lens 1 and connect to the bracket 4. The interior of the support portion 2 is provided with a cavity structure 21 for accommodating the light-emitting chip 3 and light propagation. The height of the support portion 2 is telescopable and is used to compensate for the migration of the focal area S caused by temperature changes.
[0035] The refractive index of the lens 1 changes with temperature, that is, the higher the temperature, the smaller the refractive index. Let the refractive indices at high temperature, normal temperature, and low temperature be n1, n2, and n3 respectively, and n1 < n2 < n3. Due to the change in refractive index, under the condition that the overall height of the lens 1 remains unchanged, the focal area S will migrate, that is, the focal area S at high temperature and low temperature will be higher or lower than the height of the focal area S formed at normal temperature respectively, and the response area L for testing the focal area S is set at the focal area S at normal temperature, so the test effect is not good at high temperature and low temperature.
[0036] The lens 1 and the support 2 of the present utility model are formed separately and then combined, and the support 2 is a telescopic structure. At high temperatures, the height of the support part 2 rises, and at low temperatures, the height of the support 2 drops, so as to compensate for the influence of temperature changes on the refractive index of the lens 1, so that the focal area S is always at the response area L, ensuring accurate test results. Preferably, the lens 1 is made of a material with a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and the support part 2 is made of a material with a high coefficient of thermal expansion, that is, the coefficient of thermal expansion of the lens 1 is less than that of the support part 2. The material of the support part 2 is preferably silicone resin. The material of the lens 1 is preferably one of silicone resin, epoxy resin, polycarbonate, acrylic and glass, and the refractive index of the lens 1 is preferably 1.45-1.65.
[0037] Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the refractive indices of the lens 1 at high temperature, normal temperature and low temperature are: n1, n2, n3 respectively, satisfying n1 < n2 < n3. The material of the support part 2 is affected by temperature, that is, it expands at high temperature and contracts at low temperature. The heights at high temperature, normal temperature and low temperature are: H1, H2, H3 respectively, satisfying H1 > H2 > H3. At high temperature, the heights of the lens 1 and the support part 2 are respectively higher than the lens reference line K and higher than the support part reference line H. At low temperature, the heights of the lens 1 and the support part 2 are respectively lower than the lens reference line K and higher than the support part reference line H. The lens reference line K and the support part reference line H are based on the heights of the lens 1 and the support part 2 at normal temperature. The support part 2 can compensate for the change in refractive index caused by temperature, ensuring that the height of the focal area S is within the test range of the response area L at high temperature, normal temperature and low temperature, and the detection is accurate. Preferably, the focal length of the lens 1 is 1-5 mm, and the diameter of the lens 1 is less than 10 mm.
[0038] In a further optimized solution, the lens 1 includes an optical functional area 11 in the middle and connecting ribs 12 around it, referring to Figures 2-3 . The optical functional area 11 is used for optical shaping of light, including a lower optical interface for inputting light and an upper optical interface for outputting light. The connecting ribs 12 are used to connect with the support part 2 to make the bonding more firm. The support part 2 includes side walls around it and a cavity structure 21 surrounded by the side walls. At the top of the side walls of the support part 2, there are grooves 22 with dimensions matching those of the connecting ribs 12, and the connecting ribs 12 are bonded to the grooves 22. A number of grooves 22 and connecting ribs 12 can be provided, and preferably 4 are symmetrically arranged.
[0039] Furthermore, the inner wall of the support part 2 is provided with an extension end 23. The extension end 23 is connected to the bottom around the lens 1. The extension end 23 includes an anti-overflow groove 231 on the top surface and a first inclined surface 232 on the side surface. The anti-overflow groove 231 is used to increase the bonding area and improve airtightness. The first inclined surface 232 is used to guide the excess bonding medium to the bottom of the support part 2 to prevent contamination of the lower optical interface of the lens 1.
[0040] The inner wall of the support portion 2 and the lower part of the extension end 23 are provided with a second inclined surface 24. The cross-section surrounded by the second inclined surface 24 gradually becomes larger in the direction away from the extension end 23. When the support portion 2 is formed by a mold, the structure of the second inclined surface 24 is easy to demold.
[0041] Furthermore, the bottom of the support portion 2 includes an inner protrusion 25 and an outer connection surface 26. The connection surface 26 is connected to the top surface of the bracket 4. The protrusion 25 extends into the inner side of the bracket 4, and the protrusion 25 can increase the bonding area between the support portion 2 and the bracket 4 and improve the airtightness.
[0042] The light-emitting device using the optical lens module of the present invention further includes a bracket 4 and a light-emitting chip 3 provided on the bracket 4. According to the needs of the application scenario, the light-emitting chip 3 can be set singly or in several. When several light-emitting chips 3 are combined, the light-emitting colors of the light-emitting chips 3 can be the same or different. The types of the light-emitting chips 3 can be the same or different. The bottom of the support portion 2 is connected to the bracket 4, and the lens 1, the support portion 2 and the bracket 4 encapsulate the light-emitting chip 3 in the cavity structure 21. There is also a gold wire 5 for electrically connecting the light-emitting chip 3 and the bracket 4. Preferably, the sides of the lens 1, the support portion 2 and the bracket 4 are parallel, which is easy to cut, install and store.
[0043] It is not intended to limit the present invention, and any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
