Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera technology, specifically a miniature dual-lens module. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of camera technology, cameras have become indispensable tools in many industries and fields, especially in the medical and industrial sectors, where their application demand is growing. Dual-camera technology, as an important branch of camera technology, has many technical advantages, but it also faces some specific application challenges.

[0003] The dual-camera system achieves several advanced functions through the collaborative work of two cameras. First, image assistance is a major highlight. By combining the image information captured by the two cameras, the system can perform image fusion and enhancement, thereby improving image clarity and color reproduction. Second, digital zoom allows users to achieve long-distance shooting and detail capture without sacrificing image quality. Furthermore, depth measurement is another key technology of the dual-camera system. By calculating the differences between the images captured by the two cameras, the system can accurately measure the three-dimensional coordinates and depth information of objects, providing crucial data for subsequent image processing and analysis.

[0004] However, despite the numerous advantages of dual-camera technology, its application in the medical and industrial fields has been limited. This is mainly because traditional dual-camera lens modules are relatively large, making it difficult to meet the miniaturization and integration requirements of these sectors. In the medical field, surgical instruments and medical equipment typically require high precision and portability, which traditional dual-camera lens modules often cannot meet. In the industrial field, due to limitations in the production environment and processes, large dual-camera lens modules are also difficult to widely apply on production lines or testing equipment.

[0036] The purpose of this invention is to provide a miniature dual-lens module to solve the technical problem that dual-lens modules in the prior art cannot be miniaturized.

[0037] See Figure 1In one embodiment of the present invention, a miniature dual-lens module is provided, including two sets of lenses 1 and an image sensor 5; the bottom of the two sets of lenses 1 are arranged side by side on the image sensor 5, and the two sets of lenses 1 and the image sensor 5 are bonded together by a first adhesive 4; a light-shielding black film 3 is wrapped around the periphery of the two sets of lenses 1; a gap is provided between the two sets of lenses 1, and the gap is filled with the light-shielding black film 3.

[0038] Specifically, the surface area of ​​the image sensor 5 is larger than the bottom contact area of ​​the two lenses 1.

[0039] Specifically, both sets of lenses 1 have a first aperture stop 2 on their top sides.

[0040] This embodiment employs a design where two sets of lenses are arranged side-by-side on the image sensor, achieving miniaturization of the module and facilitating integration into small electronic devices. The surface area of ​​the image sensor 5 is larger than the bottom contact area of ​​the two sets of lenses 1, providing more space for the arrangement of the lenses and apertures, while also contributing to improved light sensitivity and image quality.

[0045] Specifically, the widths of the first lens 11, the second lens 12, the third lens 13, and the fourth lens 14 are all the same.

[0046] The first lens 11 includes a first glass 111 and a first lens 112;

[0047] The first aperture 2 is disposed on the top surface of the first glass 111; the bottom surface of the first glass 111 is disposed on the top plane of the first lens 112, and the two sides of the bottom concave surface of the first lens 112 are attached to the top surface of the second lens 12 by the second adhesive 6; the thickness of the first glass 111 is in the range of 50~1000um.

[0048] The second lens 12 includes a second lens 121 and a second glass 122;

[0049] The top convex surfaces of the second lens 121 are adhered to the bottom concave surfaces of the first lens 112 by the second adhesive 6. The bottom plane of the second lens 121 is disposed on the top surface of the second glass 122. The bottom surface of the second glass 122 is adhered to the third lens 13 by the third adhesive 7. The thickness of the second glass 122 is in the range of 50~1000um.

[0050] The third lens 13 includes a third glass 131 and a third lens 132;

[0051] The top surface of the third glass 131 is provided with a second aperture 8, and is attached to the bottom surface of the second glass 122 by a third adhesive 7.

[0052] The fourth lens 14 includes a fourth lens 141 and a fourth glass 142;

[0053] The top concave surface of the fourth lens 141 is attached to both sides of the bottom convex surface of the third lens 132 by the fourth adhesive 9; the bottom plane of the fourth lens 141 is set on the top surface of the fourth glass 142, and the bottom surface of the fourth glass is covered with an IR film 10; the thickness of the fourth glass 142 is in the range of 50~1000um.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first glass 111 and the first lens 112, the second lens 121 and the second glass 122, the third glass 131 and the third lens 132, and the fourth lens 141 and the fourth glass 142 are combined and set by photolithography and nanoimprinting processes, respectively.

[0055] The operating principle of the miniature dual-lens module provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0056] When light enters the lens from the outside, it first passes through the first lens 11. The first lens 11 consists of a first glass 111 and a first lens 112, wherein the first lens 112 has a concave bottom design for initial focusing of light.

[0057] The focused light continues to pass through the second lens 12, which consists of a second lens 121 and a second glass 122. The top convex surface of the second lens 121 is in close contact with the bottom concave surface of the first lens 112, further focusing and adjusting the light.

[0058] Next, the light enters the third lens 13, which consists of a third glass 131 and a third lens 132. The convex bottom design of the third lens 132 helps to further adjust the focal point of the light, so that it is projected onto the fourth lens 14 more accurately.

[0059] Finally, the light passes through the fourth lens 14, which consists of a fourth lens 141 and a fourth glass 142. The top concave surface of the fourth lens 141 fits tightly against the bottom convex surface of the third lens 132, ensuring that the light can be accurately and clearly projected onto the image sensor 5.

[0060] The light rays, focused by the lens, are projected onto the photosensitive element of the image sensor 5. The image sensor 5 is able to receive and convert this light rays into electrical signals.

[0061] These electrical signals are then transmitted to a processing unit for further processing and analysis to generate visualized image output.

[0062] In this embodiment, the miniature dual-lens module includes two sets of lenses 1 with identical structures, which can work together to achieve dual capture of the same scene or capture from different angles.

[0063] In summary, this utility model provides a miniature dual-lens module. The two lenses 1 in the miniature dual-lens module are wafer-level optical lenses. The lens manufacturing process adopts nanoimprint technology, which imprints the lens surface shape on wafer-level glass, minimizing the lens size to the extreme. In addition, the two lenses are innovatively attached to a single sensor. Compared with traditional dual-lens modules, the size is greatly reduced, thus enabling the miniaturized dual-lens module to be applied in the medical and industrial fields, enriching the application scenarios of dual-lens modules.

[0064] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
