Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical prism technology, and in particular to a multi-refractive prism. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional optical prisms are isosceles triangular in shape, and their manufacturing process generally involves: cutting a long blank, rough grinding, fine grinding, polishing, optical testing, chamfering, printing, cleaning, and coating. After continuous optimization of optical design, a new type of multi-refractive prism (such as...) has emerged on the market. Figure 1 The top bottom has an irregular groove in the middle, and the groove is evenly coated with ink.

[0003] Figure 1 Existing multi-refractive prisms have the following drawbacks: 1. The central slot requires precision machining, making it difficult to guarantee rigidity and prone to breakage. 2. The slot requires high dimensional accuracy, which is difficult to achieve with precision machining, resulting in a rough surface (significant stray light) and necessitating acid etching, further complicating dimensional control. 3. The small space within the slot leads to inconsistent ink thickness during ink coating, also contributing to stray light generation. In summary, multi-refractive prisms have a unique structural design, high manufacturing difficulty, low yield, and high cost (poor dimensional accuracy, surface roughness, and performance in camera modules for stray light reduction and imaging). Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-refractive prism to solve the problems existing in the prior art, reduce processing difficulty and manufacturing cost, and greatly improve processing efficiency and production yield.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: The present invention provides a multi-refractive prism, comprising a prism blank block one, a prism blank block two, and a prism blank block three. The inner side of the prism blank block one is coated with a reflective film, and the side of the prism blank block one coated with the reflective film is bonded to the inner side of the prism blank block two. The bottom of the prism blank block one and the prism blank block two is bonded to the prism blank block three.

[0006] In one embodiment, light enters from one side of the prism blank block three, is refracted more than or equal to three times inside the multi-refractive prism, and then exits from the other side of the prism blank block three.

[0007] In one embodiment, the reflective film is made of a light-absorbing material.

[0008] In one embodiment, the reflective film is elongated.

[0009] In one embodiment, the prism blank block one, prism blank block two, and prism blank block three form an isosceles trapezoidal structure.

[0010] In one embodiment, the outer waist surfaces of the prism blank block one, prism blank block two, and prism blank block three are also coated with a reflective film.

[0011] The present invention achieves the following beneficial technical effects compared to the prior art:

[0012] The multi-refractive prism of this invention includes a prism blank block one, a prism blank block two, and a prism blank block three. The inner side of the prism blank block one is coated with a reflective film, and the side of the prism blank block one coated with the reflective film is bonded to the inner side of the prism blank block two. The bottom of the prism blank block one and the prism blank block two is bonded to the prism blank block three. The multi-refractive prism of this invention eliminates the need for a slotted design in the middle of the top and bottom end faces, greatly reducing processing difficulty and manufacturing costs. It has good structural stability; through bonding processing, the rigidity of the finished prism is significantly higher than that of the original product structure (e.g., ...). Figure 1 The bending strength can reach over 20 kgf; the three-in-one structure can accurately control the position accuracy of the black film to the micron level, effectively suppressing stray light.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 2-3 As shown, this utility model provides a trirefringent prism, including prism blank block one 1, prism blank block two 2 and prism blank block three 3. The inner side of prism blank block one 1 is coated with a reflective film, and the side of prism blank block one 1 coated with the reflective film is glued to the inner side of prism blank block two 2. The bottom of prism blank block one 1 and prism blank block two 2 is glued to prism blank block three 3.

[0022] The three prism blanks are bonded together using an adhesive bonding method. The processing steps are as follows: Prism blank 1 is vacuum-deposited with a black film --- bonded to prism blank 2 --- the bonded sheet is shaped (bottom surface grinding + polishing / top surface grinding) --- silkscreen printing on the top surface of the two-in-one assembly --- the two-in-one assembly is bonded to prism blank 3 (e.g., ...). Figure 3 --- Three-in-one bevel shaping and polishing (e.g.) Figure 2 ---Laser cutting---Silk screen printing on end face / waist face / bottom face---High reflective coating on waist face / anti-reflective coating on bottom face.

[0028] In one embodiment, the outer waist surfaces of prism blank 1, prism blank 2, and prism blank 3 are also coated with a high-reflection film.

[0029] The trirefringent prism of this invention has the following characteristics:

[0031] 2. Prism black film can be applied in long strips, mass-produced by vapor deposition, followed by grinding / polishing, resulting in excellent thickness consistency and greatly improving processing efficiency and production yield.

[0032] 3. Good structural stability; prisms are manufactured through bonding, resulting in finished prism products (such as...). Figure 3 The stiffness of the first product is significantly higher than that of the original product structure (e.g., Figure 1 Its bending strength can reach over 20 kgf.

[0033] 4. The three-in-one structure can accurately control the positional precision of the black film, reaching the micron level, and effectively suppress stray light.

[0034] 5. It has superior optical performance (high-precision refraction, low image distortion, and good stray light elimination ability); it has high processing accuracy and is easy to process.
