[0037] Reference Figures 1-6 For an embodiment of the utility model of an industrial endoscope zoom lens,

[0038] Comprise first lens 1, second lens 2, third lens 3, fourth lens 4, fifth lens 5, sixth lens 6, seventh lens 7, eighth lens 8, ninth lens 9, tenth lens 10, photosensitive chip 11 arranged in order from left to right;

[0039] First lens 1, fourth lens 4, seventh lens 7, tenth lens 10 are plane mirrors;Second lens 2 is a concave lens;Third lens 3, fifth lens 5, eighth lens 8 are convex lenses;Sixth lens 6, ninth lens 9 are concave-convex lenses;

[0040] The right end face of second lens 2 is a concave surface, and the left and right end faces of third lens 3 and fifth lens 5 are both convex surfaces, and the convex height of the left end face is less than that of the right end face;The left and right end faces of eighth lens 8 are symmetrically convex convex surfaces;The left end face of sixth lens 6 and ninth lens 9 is a concave surface, and the right end face is a convex surface.

[0041] The device is a zoom lens applied to an industrial endoscope, and the optical path diagram during specific work refers to Figure 6 , which can well expand the shooting range, improve the accuracy of the shooting image and facilitate subsequent operation.

[0042] The first lens 1 in the device mainly filters stray light or useless waveband light, provides more pure incident light for subsequent lens groups, protects the optical system and reduces the influence of strong light or harmful waveband light on the subsequent optical path.

[0043] Second lens 2 is a concave lens and is located at the front end of the optical path, and its main function is to preliminarily diverge the incident light so that the light enters the subsequent lens group at an appropriate angle. This function lays the foundation for the optical path design of the entire optical system and improves the optical performance of the subsequent lens.

[0044] The third lens 3 is a convex lens, which has the effect of preliminarily converging the light rays diverged by the second lens 2, providing a relatively uniform light field for the subsequent curvature adjusting lens, coordinating the light path distribution of the front and rear lenses to ensure the rationality of the light path and the imaging accuracy, and adjusting the angle and direction of the light path through a certain refraction effect, so that the light beam is more concentrated, and the incident light is optimized for the fourth lens 4 in the next stage.

[0045] The fourth lens 4 and the seventh lens 7 have the same effect, that is, the curvature will change after being energized, and the change of the curvature will affect the refraction ability of the lens to the light rays, so that the light rays are focused to different positions; the change of the curvature affects the focal length and the light refraction path, so as to dynamically adjust the focal point position or compensate for the aberration of the optical system, and improve the imaging flexibility and quality of the lens.

[0046] The fifth lens 5 is a convex lens, which has the effect of further converging the light rays adjusted by the fourth lens 4, reducing the divergence angle of the light rays, and enhancing the concentration of the light beam; the design of this lens not only improves the overall performance of the system, but also lays a foundation for the subsequent dynamic adjustment and imaging optimization.

[0047] The fifth lens 5 and the sixth lens 6 are provided with a diaphragm 13, and the first spacer ring 12 is arranged between the diaphragm 13 and the fifth lens 5.

[0048] The main function of the first spacer ring 12 in the device is to fix the fifth lens 5 and provide a reasonable gap between them to ensure the accuracy of the position of the lens and the light path; at the same time, the first spacer ring 12 can block the stray light between the lenses to some extent, avoiding its entry into the subsequent light path, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the optical system and the imaging quality.

[0049] The core function of the diaphragm 13 in the device is to limit the passing range of the light rays, allowing only the effective light beam in the central region to enter the next light path, and shielding the useless light beam or stray light at the edge to avoid adversely affecting the imaging quality; by limiting the size of the light beam, the diaphragm 13 can reduce the aberration (such as spherical aberration and coma) and light spot in the optical system, thereby improving the resolution and imaging clarity of the optical system; at the same time, the diaphragm 13 can effectively control the field of view of the system to meet the optical design requirements, avoiding the deviation of the light from the imaging range due to the too wide field of view.

[0050] The sixth lens 6 is a concave-convex lens, the concave surface has the effect of divergence, and the concave part of the sixth lens 6 has the effect of divergence on the incident light rays, making the distribution of the light rays more uniform, which helps to avoid the light rays being too concentrated near the optical axis.

[0051] The convex surface has the effect of convergence, which reduces the divergence angle of the light rays and provides relatively concentrated or directional light rays for the subsequent optical elements.

[0052] The eighth lens 8 is a double convex lens, both sides are symmetrical convex, has stronger convergence ability. In the system, the light beam is more concentrated to meet the needs of subsequent optical elements or imaging sensors.

[0053] The second spacer ring 14 has the same effect as the first spacer ring 12, both of which block stray light between lenses to avoid entering the subsequent light path, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the optical system and the imaging quality.

[0054] The ninth lens 9 is also a meniscus lens, but the concave and convex surfaces are arranged in the opposite direction of the sixth lens 6; the concave surface of the ninth lens 9 is mainly used for divergence, and the light after divergence enters the lens, and the contact with the convex surface will be converged again, which helps to avoid the light being too concentrated near the optical axis.

[0055] The tenth lens 10 and the first lens 1 have the same effect, both of which are filtering lenses, mainly for further selective filtering and optimization of light to ensure that the light entering the photosensitive chip 11 meets the requirements.

[0056] The photosensitive chip 11 in the device can convert light of different wavelengths (such as visible light, infrared light, or ultraviolet light) into current or voltage signals. This process is based on the photoelectric effect or other physical principles; it is an imaging sensor.
