[0097] Wherein, FOV is the maximum field of view of the optical lens, h is the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view, and f is the effective focal length of the panoramic optical lens.
[0098] In this embodiment, the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are designed with negative optical power, so that light from a larger field of view can be more smoothly converged to the rear lens, which is beneficial to improving the field of view and can achieve a field of view greater than 200°. The third lens L3 is designed with positive optical power to converge the light collected by the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 to the rear lens. By setting the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 as cemented lenses, it is beneficial to correct aberrations and achieve a large aperture value of less than or equal to 1.68. Finally, the sixth lens L6 and the third lens L7, which are also cemented lenses, are used to correct chromatic aberration of the panoramic optical lens and improve the image quality of the panoramic optical lens. At the same time, the cemented lenses help to reduce the assembly sensitivity of the panoramic optical lens and improve the production yield. The panoramic optical lens of this invention has a maximum field of view exceeding 200° and features high image quality, a large field of view, a large aperture, small size, low cost, and significant ghosting reduction in the image. It can meet the usage requirements in temperatures ranging from -40℃ to 95℃, and its significant ghosting reduction improves the reliability of autonomous driving image acquisition. Furthermore, the panoramic optical lens provided by this invention, when used with a photosensitive chip, significantly enhances its resolution and image processing power.
[0099] In this preferred embodiment, the lens shapes of the first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, fifth lens L5, sixth lens L6, and seventh lens L7 of the panoramic optical lens are designed as follows:

[0106] The seventh lens L7 has negative optical power. The object side S12 of the seventh lens L7 has a concave structure, and the image side S13 of the seventh lens L7 has a convex structure.
[0107] In addition, an aperture stop S7 is provided between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4, and a filter L8 is provided on the image side S13 of the seventh lens L7. The filter L8 has an object side S14 and an image side S15. After passing through the filter L8, the light finally forms an image on the imaging surface of the panoramic optical lens.
[0108] Specifically, combining the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 into a cemented lens, and combining the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 into a cemented lens, is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in panoramic optical lenses, achieving a large aperture, and improving the image quality of panoramic optical lenses. At the same time, cemented lenses help reduce the assembly sensitivity of panoramic optical lenses and improve production yield.

[0110] This panoramic optical lens uses five plastic aspherical lenses, which effectively correct aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature, while also helping to reduce costs. In addition, it is equipped with two glass spherical lenses, which helps to correct temperature drift of the panoramic optical lens. This panoramic optical lens structure helps to achieve high image quality, low cost, and a heat-free lens effect.

[0120] In addition, the first lens L1 has a large negative optical power, which is beneficial for collecting light at a wider angle and also helps to reduce the size of the panoramic optical lens head, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the panoramic optical lens. The second lens L2 has a negative optical power, which, together with the first lens L1, helps light to enter the rear lens group more smoothly.
[0121] In this embodiment, by controlling the focal length and shape of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6, and the seventh lens L7, the lens is made to have a field of view greater than 200° and a large aperture value less than or equal to 1.68. At the same time, it has a significant effect on eliminating ghosting, making the image clearer and cleaner. It also eliminates some stray light from the design and has the characteristics of high image quality, small size, and low cost, which is conducive to the promotion of autonomous driving.
[0122] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shape design of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2, in conjunction with their focal lengths, converges light rays with a large field of view to the rear group system, which is beneficial to improving the field of view and can achieve a field of view greater than 200°. The shape design of the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5, in conjunction with their focal lengths, is beneficial to correcting aberrations in panoramic optical lenses, improving image quality, and achieving a large aperture value of less than or equal to 1.68.

[0168] Example 2
[0169] This embodiment discloses a large field-of-view, large aperture vehicle panoramic optical lens, which optimizes the shape of the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 based on the lens shape design of the panoramic optical lens in embodiment 1.
[0170] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the lens shapes of the first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, fifth lens L5, sixth lens L6, and seventh lens L7 of this panoramic optical lens are designed as follows:
[0171] The first lens L1 has negative optical power, the object side S1 of the first lens L1 has a convex structure, and the image side S2 of the first lens L1 has a concave structure.
[0172] The second lens L2 has negative optical power. The object side S3 of the second lens L2 has a convex structure, and the image side S4 of the second lens L2 has a concave structure.
[0173] The third lens L3 has positive optical power. The object side S5 of the third lens L3 has a convex or concave structure, and the image side S6 of the third lens L3 has a convex structure.
[0174] The fourth lens L4 has negative optical power, and the object side S8 and image side S9 of the fourth lens L4 have a concave structure.
[0175] The fifth lens L5 has positive optical power, and the object side S9 and image side S10 of the fifth lens L5 have a convex structure.
[0176] The sixth lens L6 has positive optical power, and the object side S11 and image side S12 of the sixth lens L6 have a convex structure.
[0177] The seventh lens L7 has negative optical power. The object side S12 of the seventh lens L7 has a concave structure, and the image side S13 of the seventh lens L7 has a convex structure.
[0178] In addition, an aperture stop S7 is provided between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4, and a filter L8 is provided on the image side S13 of the seventh lens L7. The filter L8 has an object side S14 and an image side S15. After passing through the filter L8, the light finally forms an image on the imaging surface of the panoramic optical lens.
[0179] Specifically, combining the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 into a cemented lens, and combining the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 into a cemented lens, is beneficial for correcting chromatic aberration in panoramic optical lenses, achieving a large aperture, and improving the image quality of panoramic optical lenses. At the same time, cemented lenses help reduce the assembly sensitivity of panoramic optical lenses and improve production yield.
[0180] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the first lens L1 and the third lens L3 of the panoramic optical lens are glass spherical lenses; the second lens L2, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 are plastic aspherical lenses.
[0181] This panoramic optical lens uses five plastic aspherical lenses, which effectively correct aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and field curvature, while also helping to reduce costs. In addition, it is equipped with two glass spherical lenses, which helps to correct temperature drift of the panoramic optical lens. This panoramic optical lens structure helps to achieve high image quality, low cost, and a heat-free lens effect.
[0182] In this embodiment, based on the above-described shape design of the panoramic optical lens, the relevant parameters of the panoramic optical lens are designed as follows:
