[0044] It should be noted that the implementation methods provided in this utility model embodiment can be combined with each other without contradiction.
[0045] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of an industrial line scan lens provided in an embodiment of this utility model, as shown below. Figure 1As shown, the industrial line scan lens includes: a first lens 10 with negative optical power, a second lens 20 with positive optical power, a third lens 30 with positive optical power, a vignetting stop 80, an aperture stop 90, a fourth lens 40 with negative optical power, a fifth lens 50 with positive optical power, a sixth lens 60 with negative optical power, and a seventh lens 70 with positive optical power, arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The first lens 10, second lens 20, third lens 30, vignetting stop 80, aperture stop 90, fourth lens 40, fifth lens 50, sixth lens 60, and seventh lens 70 are moved as a whole for focusing, and the aperture of the aperture stop 90 is variable.
[0046] As can be understood, optical power equals the difference between the convergence of the image-side beam and the convergence of the object-side beam; it characterizes the ability of an optical system to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of optical power, the stronger the bending ability of light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the bending ability. When optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. Optical power can be used to characterize a single refractive surface of a lens (i.e., one surface of the lens), a single lens, or a system formed by multiple lenses (i.e., a lens group).
[0047] In this embodiment, by setting the first lens 10 to have negative optical power, the second lens 20 to have positive optical power, the third lens 30 to have positive optical power, the fourth lens 40 to have negative optical power, the fifth lens 50 to have positive optical power, the sixth lens 60 to have negative optical power, and the seventh lens 70 to have positive optical power, the optical power of each lens is reasonably allocated, so that the lenses cooperate with each other to meet the requirements of high resolution, low distortion, large imaging target area, and high relative illumination, enabling the industrial line scan lens to have high imaging quality.
[0048] Meanwhile, the aperture 90, located in the optical path between the third lens 30 and the fourth lens 40, can adjust the propagation direction of the light beam, minimizing the front and rear apertures of the industrial line scan lens and improving image quality. Furthermore, the adjustable aperture 90 allows the industrial line scan lens to adjust the amount of light entering the lens at different working distances, achieving clear focusing at various distances. For example, at working distances ranging from 200mm to 900mm, the focal length of the industrial line scan lens can be maintained at approximately 60mm, with an aperture of f / 4.1 at the reference object distance, overall distortion between -0.5% and 0.5%, and an imaging target area of up to 58mm, resulting in high overall imaging performance for the industrial line scan lens.
[0049] The vignetting stop 80 is positioned between the third lens 30 and the stop 90. The vignetting stop 80 can block light rays with large upper or lower pupil aberrations in different fields of view, thereby improving resolution performance, improving CRA, or reducing lens aperture. Furthermore, the vignetting stop 80 helps the optical system of industrial line scan lenses to have higher relative illumination, for example, relative illumination can reach 57%.
[0050] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 constitute a cemented doublet lens.
[0051] The cemented configuration of the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 can be understood as the image-side surface of the first lens 10 being bonded to the object-side surface of the second lens 20. By cementing the first lens 10 and the second lens 20, the air gap between them can be reduced, which helps to reduce the overall optical length of the industrial line scan lens. It also reduces tolerance sensitivity issues such as tilting / eccentricity during lens assembly, simplifies the assembly process in the manufacturing of industrial line scan lenses, and improves equipment efficiency. Simultaneously, the cemented configuration of the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 can reduce light loss caused by inter-lens reflection, improve illumination, and reduce the risk of ghosting. Furthermore, cemented lenses can be used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration, thereby improving image quality, reducing light energy reflection loss, and enhancing the sharpness of the lens image. In an optional embodiment, the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 can be supported by a gasket or bonded with adhesive. This invention does not limit the specific bonding method.
[0052] Optionally, the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 form a cemented doublet lens.
[0053] The cementing of the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 can be understood as the image-side surface of the fourth lens 40 being bonded to the object-side surface of the fifth lens 50. By cementing the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50, the air gap between them can be reduced, which helps to reduce the overall optical length of the industrial line scan lens. It also reduces tolerance sensitivity issues such as tilting / eccentricity during lens assembly, simplifies the assembly process in the manufacturing of industrial line scan lenses, and improves equipment efficiency. Simultaneously, the cementing of the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 can reduce light loss caused by inter-lens reflection, improving illumination. Furthermore, cemented lenses can be used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration, thereby improving image quality, reducing light energy reflection loss, and enhancing the sharpness of the lens image. In an optional embodiment, the fourth lens 40 and the fifth lens 50 can be supported by a gasket, or they can be bonded with adhesive. This invention does not limit the specific bonding method.
[0054] Optionally, the object side and the image side of the first lens 10 are both concave; the object side and the image side of the second lens 20 are both convex; the object side of the third lens 30 is convex and the image side is concave; the object side and the image side of the fourth lens 40 are both concave; the object side and the image side of the fifth lens 50 are both convex; the object side of the sixth lens 60 is concave and the image side is convex; the object side of the seventh lens 70 is concave and the image side is convex.
[0055] Herein, the object side of the lens can be understood as the surface of the lens closer to the object plane, and the image side of the lens can be understood as the surface of the lens closer to the image plane. The object side of the lens being concave can be understood as the object side of the lens being recessed towards the object plane at the position near the optical axis, and the object side of the lens being convex can be understood as the object side of the lens being protruded towards the object plane at the position near the optical axis; the image side of the lens being concave can be understood as the image side of the lens being recessed towards the image plane at the position near the optical axis, and the image side of the lens being convex can be understood as the image side of the lens being protruded towards the image plane at the position near the optical axis.
[0056] In this embodiment, by reasonably setting the surface shapes of each lens, it is possible to ensure that the edge ray trend is smoother, improve the relative illuminance between the edge image and the central image, and enhance the imaging effect. The relative illuminance between the edge image and the central image in the embodiment of the present invention can reach 57%, ensuring the consistency of imaging brightness.
[0057] Optionally, the focal length f1 of the first lens 10, the focal length f2 of the second lens 20, and the focal length f3 of the third lens 30 satisfy: 0.8 < f1 / f + f2 / f + f3 / f < 1.1; wherein, f is the overall focal length of the industrial line scan lens.
[0058] Herein, the first lens 10 has a negative optical power, and the second lens 20 and the third lens 30 both have positive optical powers, that is, the focal length f1 of the first lens 10 is negative, and the focal lengths f2 of the second lens 20 and f3 of the third lens 30 are both positive. By making the focal length f1 of the first lens 10, the focal length f2 of the second lens 20, and the focal length f3 of the third lens 30 satisfy the above relationship, it is beneficial to correct the chromatic aberration of the industrial line scan lens, thereby improving the resolution ability of the industrial line scan lens.
[0059] Optionally, the focal length f3 of the third lens 30 satisfies: 0.9 < f3 / f < 1.3; wherein, f is the overall focal length of the industrial line scan lens. Thus, by making the third lens 30 satisfy the above relationship, it is beneficial to correct the distortion and field curvature of the optical system of the industrial line scan lens.
[0060] Optionally, the Abbe number Vd1 of the first lens 10, the Abbe number Vd2 of the second lens 20, and the Abbe number Vd3 of the third lens 30 satisfy: 80 < Vd3 + Vd2 - Vd1 < 100.
[0061] In this embodiment, by making the Abbe number Vd1 of the first lens 10, the Abbe number Vd2 of the second lens 20, and the Abbe number Vd3 of the third lens 30 satisfy the above relationship, the third lens 30 can have a relatively high Abbe number. The third lens 30 with a relatively high Abbe number cooperates with the first lens 10 and the second lens, which is conducive to correcting the chromatic aberration of the system and improving the imaging clarity.
[0062] Optionally, the focal length f4 of the fourth lens 40, the refractive index Nd4 of the fourth lens 40, the focal length f5 of the fifth lens 50, and the refractive index Nd5 of the fifth lens 50 satisfy: 0 < (ND5 - ND4) * (f5 / f - f4 / f) < 0.06; where f is the overall focal length of the industrial line scan lens. With such a setting, it is conducive to correcting the optical system distortion and field curvature of the industrial line scan lens.
[0063] Optionally, the focal length f6 of the sixth lens 60 and the focal length f7 of the seventh lens 70 satisfy: 0.1 < |f6 / f + f7 / f| < 0.14; where f is the overall focal length of the industrial line scan lens. With such a setting, it is conducive to the smooth transition of light on the surfaces of the subsequent lenses, reducing the incident angle and the exit angle, thereby being able to reduce the sensitivity of the optical system of the industrial line scan lens and improving the relative illumination and production yield of the optical system.
[0064] Optionally, the refractive index of the sixth lens 60 satisfies: 1.9 < ND6. In this way, the sixth lens 60 can have a relatively high refractive index, which is conducive to reducing the refraction and scattering of light, thereby improving the imaging quality of the industrial line scan lens.
[0065] Optionally, the maximum semi-aperture among the semi-apertures of each lens is SDmax; where 0.6 < 2 * SDmax / Hmax < 0.67, and Hmax is the maximum image height of the industrial line scan lens. With such a setting, it is conducive to reducing the volume of the overall optical system, enabling the finished lens to be adapted to more usage environments, and reducing the cost of each lens.
[0066] Optionally, at the reference object distance of the industrial line scan lens, the distance from the image side of the seventh lens 70 to the image plane of the industrial line scan lens is BFL; where 0.71 < BFL / f < 0.76, and f is the overall focal length of the industrial line scan lens.
[0067] Herein, the reference object distance can be understood as the commonly used object distance of the industrial line scan lens, and can be specifically designed according to actual needs. In an exemplary embodiment, the reference object distance of the industrial line scan lens can be 350 mm.
[0068] In this embodiment, by making the distance BFL from the image side of the seventh lens 70 to the image plane of the industrial line scan lens satisfy the above relationship with the overall focal length f of the industrial line scan lens, it is beneficial to reduce the size of the optical system of the industrial line scan lens, so that the industrial line scan lens can be adapted to more usage environments and reduce the material cost of the lens.
[0069] Based on the above embodiments, optionally, the first lens 10, the second lens 20, the third lens 30, the fourth lens 40, the fifth lens 50, the sixth lens 60 and the seventh lens 70 are all glass spherical lenses.
[0070] Among them, spherical lenses are characterized by a constant curvature from the center to the periphery, ensuring a simple lens setup. Meanwhile, glass lenses have a low coefficient of thermal expansion and good stability, giving glass spherical lenses higher thermal stability. This allows industrial line-scan lenses to maintain good resolution over a wide temperature range (-40℃ to 80℃) when handling high optical power. Furthermore, compared to plastic aspherical lenses, glass offers a wider range of material choices, with more freedom in selecting the refractive index and Abbe constant. This allows for better control over higher aberrations and chromatic aberrations, meeting the needs of use under complex conditions.
[0071] In summary, this embodiment of the utility model employs seven lenses with optical power to form an industrial line scan lens. By rationally allocating the optical power of each lens and selecting appropriate materials and designing the shape of each lens, the industrial line scan lens can simultaneously meet the requirements of small size, low distortion, large target surface, high relative illumination, and large aperture. This allows the industrial line scan lens to focus quickly and clearly at different working distances. For example, within a working range of 200mm-900mm, the focal length of the industrial line scan lens can be around 60mm.

[0080] The industrial line scan lens of this embodiment includes a first lens 10, a second lens 20, a third lens 30, a vignetting stop 80, an aperture stop 90, a fourth lens 40, a fifth lens 50, a sixth lens 60, and a seventh lens 70 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object side to the image side. The surface numbers are based on the surface order of each lens, where "1" represents the object side of the first lens 10, "2" represents the image side of the first lens 10, and so on; "STO" represents the aperture stop of the lens; the radius of curvature represents the degree of curvature of the lens surface, with a positive value indicating that the surface bends towards the image plane and a negative value indicating that the surface bends towards the object plane, where "Infinity" indicates that the surface is flat and the radius of curvature is infinite; the thickness represents the axial distance between the central surfaces of the current and next surfaces; the refractive index represents the ability of the material between the current and next surfaces to deflect light, with a space indicating that the current position is air and the refractive index is 1; the Abbe number represents the dispersion characteristics of the material between the current and next surfaces, with a space indicating that the current position is air.

[0084] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the MTF (Mean Transmission Function) of an industrial linear scanning lens across the visible light spectrum. The MTF is one of the most commonly used and authoritative evaluation methods in modern optical design. The horizontal axis represents the spatial frequencies of the line pairs in object space imaged onto the image plane by the optical system, in periods / mm. The vertical axis represents the magnitude of the optical transfer function. The diagram shows the trend of the optical transfer function along the meridional (T) and sagittal (S) directions corresponding to different fields of view (0.00mm, 8.00mm, 14.00mm, 22.00mm, 28.00mm, and 29.00mm in the diagram) directions as the spatial frequency increases. The ideal curve is a straight line coinciding with the system's diffraction limit, indicating that the geometric aberrations of the light rays at all positions are less than the wave phase aberration caused by the physical limitations of the system itself, and can be ignored. Figure 2It can be seen that the optical transfer function of this industrial line scan lens is greater than 0.2 at 70 lp / mm for each field of view, thus achieving high resolution in visible light environments.
[0085] Figure 3 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the relative illumination curve of an industrial line scan lens. The horizontal axis represents the half-field height (in mm), and the vertical axis represents the relative illumination. Figure 3 As shown, the industrial line scan lens has high relative illumination under different fields of view, and the relative illumination is greater than 60% in the maximum field of view.
[0086] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the field curvature distortion curve of an industrial line scan lens. In the coordinate system on the left side of the diagram, the horizontal axis represents the magnitude of the field curvature in mm; the vertical axis represents the normalized image height, which has no unit. Figure 4 It can be seen that the industrial line scan lens provided in this embodiment effectively controls the field curvature, meaning that during imaging, the difference in image quality between the center and the periphery is small. In the coordinate system on the right, the horizontal axis represents the magnitude of distortion, in %; the vertical axis represents the normalized image height, which has no unit; from Figure 4 As can be seen, the maximum distortion of the lens provided in this embodiment is controlled within 0.5%, the distortion is well corrected, the imaging distortion is small, and the difference between the image and the actual object is small.

[0098] Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The diagram shows the MTF (Mean Transmission Function) of an industrial linear scanning lens across the visible light spectrum. The MTF is one of the most commonly used and authoritative evaluation methods in modern optical design. The horizontal axis represents the spatial frequencies of the line pairs in object space imaged onto the image plane by the optical system, in periods / mm. The vertical axis represents the magnitude of the optical transfer function. The diagram shows the trend of the optical transfer function along the meridional (T) and sagittal (S) directions corresponding to different fields of view (0.00mm, 8.00mm, 14.00mm, 22.00mm, 28.00mm, and 29.00mm in the diagram) directions as the spatial frequency increases. The ideal curve is a straight line coinciding with the system's diffraction limit, indicating that the geometric aberrations of the light rays at all positions are less than the wave phase aberration caused by the physical limitations of the system itself, and can be ignored.

Figure 8 It can be seen that the industrial line scan lens provided in this embodiment effectively controls the field curvature, meaning that during imaging, the difference in image quality between the center and the periphery is small. In the coordinate system on the right, the horizontal axis represents the magnitude of distortion, in %; the vertical axis represents the normalized image height, which has no unit; from Figure 8 As can be seen, the maximum distortion of the lens provided in this embodiment is controlled within 0.5%, the distortion is well corrected, the imaging distortion is small, and the difference between the image and the actual object is small.
