[0059] In order to help those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0060] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0061] Figure 1 、 Figure 9 and Figure 17 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end provided by various embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 、 Figure 10 and Figure 18 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the zoom lens at the telephoto end provided by each embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the zoom lens proposed in an embodiment of the present invention includes: a first fixed lens group G1 with positive optical power, a variator lens group G2 with negative optical power, an aperture STO, a second fixed lens group G3 with positive optical power, a focusing lens group G4 with positive optical power, a third fixed lens group G5 with positive optical power, and a flat glass PL, which are arranged in sequence along the optical axis from the object side to the image side; the first fixed lens group G1 includes a first lens L1 with negative optical power, a second lens L2 with positive optical power, and a third lens L3 with positive optical power, and the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are cemented to form a first cemented lens; the variator lens group G2 includes a fourth lens L4 with negative optical power, a fifth lens L5 with negative optical power, and a sixth lens L6 with positive optical power, and the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 are cemented to form a first cemented lens. The first lens group G1 comprises a seventh lens L7 with positive optical power, an eighth lens L8 with negative optical power, a ninth lens L9 with positive optical power, a tenth lens L10 with negative optical power, an eleventh lens L11 with positive optical power, a twelfth lens L12 with negative optical power, and a thirteenth lens L13 with positive optical power. At least two of the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, and the tenth lens L10 are cemented to form a third cemented lens. At least two of the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12, and the thirteenth lens L13 are cemented to form a fourth cemented lens. The focusing lens group G4 comprises a fourteenth lens L14 with positive optical power. The third fixed lens group G5 comprises a fifteenth lens L15 with optical power.
[0062] It can be understood that by setting the first fixed lens group G1, the magnification lens group G2, the second fixed lens group G3, the focusing lens group G4 and the third fixed lens group G5, the positions of the magnification lens group G2 and the focusing lens group G4 on the optical axis are changed, and the zoom lens can be switched between the wide-angle end and the telephoto end. When the focal length is the shortest, the zoom lens is at the wide-angle end, and when the focal length is the longest, the zoom lens is at the telephoto end. At the wide-angle end and the telephoto end, the zoom lens has different focal lengths and optical focal powers, and also has different shapes.
[0063] The use of a positive-power first fixed lens group G1 and a negative-power zoom lens group G2 at the front of the aperture STO ensures a larger light aperture after light passes through it, increasing the zoom lens's F-number to meet the requirements of various usage conditions. Furthermore, the cemented lens within the first fixed lens group G1 and the zoom lens group G2 corrects high-level chromatic aberrations and aberrations, controlling the aberration balance of each lens group. This ensures that light entering the structure behind the aperture STO does not produce significant aberrations, thereby improving the zoom lens's imaging quality.
[0064] The second fixed lens group G3 and the focusing lens group G4 behind the aperture STO correct aberrations at the rear end of the lens. Together with the lens group in front of the aperture STO, they stabilize the zoom lens's imaging quality. The third fixed lens group G5 reduces the angle of incidence of light, ensuring smoother light incidence on the image plane. Furthermore, maintaining the same aperture diameter at different focal lengths reduces the aperture range structurally, ensuring a longer travel distance for the lens' movable group, enabling higher imaging magnification or reducing the lens's size to meet varying usage requirements.
[0065] Furthermore, by combining the optical powers of the five lens groups in a pattern of positive-negative-positive-positive-positive or negative, and rationally distributing the optical power of each group and the optical power of the elements within each group, light passes smoothly through the lens, significantly correcting the effects of higher-order aberrations on image quality. This effectively achieves minimal distortion and high-definition imaging while maintaining a relatively compact overall length. This zoom lens comprehensively balances zoom, large aperture, low distortion, and a compact design.
[0066] Optionally, the relationship between the focal length F1 of the first fixed lens group G1, the focal length F2 of the variator lens group G2, the focal length F3 of the second fixed lens group G3, the focal length F4 of the focus lens group G4, the focal length F5 of the third fixed lens group G5, and the focal length FW of the zoom lens at the wide-angle end satisfies:
[0067] 5.564≤F1 / FW≤5.885;-1.894≤F2 / FW≤-1.763;2.894≤F3 / FW≤3.128;
[0068] 1.776≤F4 / FW≤2.041; -24.956≤F5 / FW≤13.336. This lens combination achieves a reasonable combination of optical powers, allowing light to pass through the lens more smoothly, and largely correcting the impact of high-level aberrations on image quality.
[0069] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 、 Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, the object-side surface of the first lens L1 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave; the object-side surface of the second lens L2 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave; the object-side surface of the third lens L3 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave; the object-side surface of the fourth lens L4 is concave, and the image-side surface is concave; the object-side surface of the fifth lens L5 is concave, and the image-side surface is concave; the object-side surface of the sixth lens L6 is convex, and the image-side surface is convex; the object-side surface of the seventh lens L7 is convex, and the image-side surface is convex; the object-side surface of the eighth lens L8 is concave. The image side surface is concave, the object side surface of the ninth lens L9 is convex, and the image side surface is convex, the object side surface of the tenth lens L10 is concave, and the image side surface is concave, the object side surface of the eleventh lens L11 is convex, and the image side surface is convex, the object side surface of the twelfth lens L12 is concave, and the image side surface is concave, the object side surface of the thirteenth lens L13 is convex, and the image side surface is convex; the object side surface of the fourteenth lens L14 is convex, and the image side surface is convex, and the object side surface of the fifteenth lens L15 is convex, and the image side surface is concave.
[0070] Among them, the first lens L1 is a convex-concave negative lens, which can allow more light to enter the zoom lens, the second lens L2 is a convex-concave positive lens, and the third lens L3 is a convex-concave positive lens. The second lens L2 and the third lens L3 are cemented together to correct the direction of light entering the zoom lens.
[0071] The fourth lens element L4 is a negative concave-concave lens, the fifth lens element L5 is a negative concave-concave lens, and the sixth lens element L6 is a positive convex-convex lens. These elements further adjust the direction of light entering the zoom lens. The negative lens diffuses the light, while the positive lens focuses it.
[0072] The seventh lens L7 is a convex-convex positive lens, the eighth lens L8 is a concave-concave negative lens, the ninth lens L9 is a convex-convex positive lens, the tenth lens L10 is a concave-concave negative lens, the eleventh lens L11 is a convex-convex positive lens, the twelfth lens L12 is a concave-concave negative lens, and the thirteenth lens L13 is a convex-convex positive lens. At least two of the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, and the tenth lens L10 are cemented together to form a third cemented lens, and at least two of the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12, and the thirteenth lens L13 are cemented together to form a fourth cemented lens. The use of cemented lenses effectively shortens the overall length of the lens. The second fixed lens group G3 follows immediately behind the aperture STO, which limits light rays of varying incident angles, ensuring they enter the second fixed lens group G3 in a more concentrated and smooth manner. Therefore, the use of two cemented lens groups in the second fixed lens group G3 effectively corrects chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations produced by the preceding lens group, improving the overall imaging quality of the system.
[0073] The fourteenth lens L14 is a convex-convex positive lens, and the fifteenth lens L15 is a convex-concave lens. During zooming, the focus lens group G4 moves according to the position of the variator lens group G2, ensuring that the system maintains a consistent focus state at all magnifications. Therefore, the addition of a fixed lens group G5 behind the focus lens G4 significantly optimizes chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations at different magnifications and focus positions. This reduces the angle of incidence of light, resulting in a smooth and stable incident image plane, improving the stability of the lens' imaging.
[0074] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, and the tenth lens L10 are cemented together, and the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12, and the thirteenth lens L13 are cemented together. The use of two cemented lens groups in the second fixed lens group G3 effectively corrects chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations produced by the front lens group, improving the imaging quality of the entire system.
[0075] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the ninth lens L9 and the tenth lens L10 are cemented together, and the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12, and the thirteenth lens L13 are cemented together. The use of two cemented lens groups in the second fixed lens group G3 effectively corrects chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations produced by the front lens group, improving the imaging quality of the entire system.
[0076] Optionally, refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9, and the tenth lens L10 are cemented together, and the eleventh lens L11 and the twelfth lens L12 are cemented together. The use of two cemented lens groups in the second fixed lens group G3 can effectively correct chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations generated by the front lens group, improving the imaging quality of the entire lens system.
[0077] Optionally, the focal lengths F8-9-10 of the eighth lens element L8, the ninth lens element L9, and the tenth lens element L10, together with the focal length FG3 of the second fixed lens group G3, satisfy the following relationship: -1.603 ≤ F8-9-10 / FG3 ≤ -1.454; and the focal lengths F11-12-13 of the eleventh lens element L11, the twelfth lens element L12, and the thirteenth lens element L13, together with the focal length FG3 of the second fixed lens group G3, satisfy the following relationship: -32.666 ≤ F11-12-13 / FG3 ≤ 2.501. The rational allocation of the focal powers and focal lengths of the lenses in the second fixed lens group G3 ensures a more concentrated and smooth passage of light through the lens, significantly correcting chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations produced by the front lens group and improving the imaging quality and brightness of the overall lens system. F8-9-10 is the combined focal length of the eighth lens L8, the ninth lens L9 and the tenth lens L10, and F11-12-13 is the combined focal length of the eleventh lens L11, the twelfth lens L12 and the thirteenth lens L13.
[0078] Optionally, the aperture FNO of the zoom lens is ≤1.5. The position of the aperture of the zoom lens relative to the image plane remains consistent at different focal lengths, and the aperture diameter is the same at different focal lengths.
[0079] Optionally, the refractive index nd7 and Abbe number vd7 of the seventh lens element L7 in the second fixed lens group G3 satisfy the following: 1.762≤nd7≤2.005; 19.325≤vd7≤25.556; and the refractive index nd14 and Abbe number vd14 of the fourteenth lens element L14 in the focusing lens group G4 satisfy the following: 1.776≤nd14≤2.051; 26.942≤vd14≤37.836. The correction of chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations in this zoom lens depends primarily on the cemented lens groups in the second fixed lens group G3 and the focusing lens group G4. Therefore, the material selection of the seventh lens element L7, the front lens element of the cemented triplet in the second fixed lens group G3, and the fourteenth lens element L14, the front lens element of the cemented doublet in the focusing lens group G4, is crucial. The seventh lens L7 and the fourteenth lens L14 are made of materials with high refractive index, so that light can be more focused into the rear cemented lens, thereby improving the cemented lens's ability to optimize chromatic aberration and higher-order aberrations.
[0080] Optionally, the total length TTL of the zoom lens and the maximum travel distance S2 of the zoom lens group satisfy the following relationship: 3.387≤TTL / S2≤3.653. The limitation of the zoom lens group G2 and the total length TTL of the lens can compress the lens space, ensuring that the required imaging quality and zoom range are met while maintaining a small lens volume.
[0081] Optionally, the seventh lens L7 is a glass aspherical lens, and the first lens L1 to the sixth lens L6, and the eighth lens L8 to the fifteenth lens L15 are glass spherical lenses.
[0082] Compared to aspheric lenses, spherical lenses require fewer optical parameters to control during production, resulting in simpler processing, lower costs, and more stable optical performance. Aspheric lenses are also more capable of correcting high-grade images than spherical lenses. Furthermore, glass lenses are insensitive to temperature, making all-glass lenses more consistent across temperature ranges. This ensures stable performance at both high and low temperatures, improving the environmental adaptability of zoom lenses.
[0083] Optionally, the moving distance S2 of the zoom lens group G2 and the moving distance S4 of the focus lens group G4 satisfy: 27.604≤S2 / S4≤73.811. By controlling the moving distance of the focus lens group G4, the volume and movement range of the focus lens group G4 are minimized, thereby greatly reducing the lens volume.
[0084] Thus, by using 14 glass spherical lenses, one glass aspherical lens, and a certain thickness of flat glass, and by configuring the focal lengths of the various groups as described above, a zoom lens with a focal length of 15-50mm and an image plane size of 13.1 can be obtained. This zoom lens has the characteristics of a large aperture, low distortion, a long focal length, and high-definition imaging, and can meet the requirements of use in the 436nm-850nm band with a 1 / 1.2" target surface.
