[0047] Reference Figure 2As shown in the figure, the schematic diagram of the lens system structure proposed in the embodiment of the present application, wherein the various parameters of the lens are shown in Table 1. This product is composed of two convex lenses, which has a better focusing effect and is conducive to the final light spot formation. The first lens L1 is an aspheric lens. The convex surface of the lens is not a standard spherical surface, but adopts an aspheric design. It can reduce the aberration and better improve the imaging quality, so that the light can be evenly focused in a larger range; the second lens L2 is a plano-convex lens. The convex surface is a regular spherical surface, which emits light from the light source and performs a preliminary converging effect. Due to the refractive effect of the lens, the light will be refracted on the convex surface of the lens and converge to the focus of the lens. The direction of light propagation is changed by Snell's Law, so that the angle is contracted and converged to the focus. The important point is that the shape and material properties of the aspheric convex lens determine that it can adjust the light from a larger divergence angle (150°) to a smaller divergence angle (20°). Such a design makes the illumination range of the relevant lighting more concentrated and the illumination distance farther.
