[0030] Example 1

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 8 According to an embodiment of this application, a lens structure includes an optical imaging part 2 and a structural flange part 1. The structural flange part 1 is formed on the periphery of the optical imaging part 2. The structural flange part 1 has an irregular structure, which is used to improve the flow rate and wavefront angle during lens forming, improve the weld line 4, and avoid the generation of stray light.

[0032] The use of anisotropic structures can improve the flow rate and wavefront angle during lens forming, effectively improve or reduce weld lines 4, avoid stray light, and improve the lens forming process window.

[0033] According to one embodiment of this application, the structural flange portion 1 forms a plurality of cut edges 3, which constitute the irregular structure. By forming the irregular structure through cut edges, the weld lines 4 can be improved without adding any processing steps.

[0034] According to one embodiment of this application, the structural flange portion 1 has symmetrical cut edges 3 formed on both sides.

[0035] According to one embodiment of this application, the width 2H between the cut edges 3, the maximum radius R of the structural flange portion 1, the radius r of the optical imaging portion 2, and the distance a from the cut edge 3 to the optical imaging portion 2 satisfy: (r+a) / R≤H / R<1. By ensuring the optical imaging aperture and a machining allowance of 0.015, both the weld line 4 can be improved, and the imaging quality can be guaranteed.

[0036] According to one embodiment of this application, the center thickness L of the optical imaging portion 2 and the thickness L1 of the structural flange portion 1 satisfy: L1 / L≥2. The use of an irregular structure in this application is to improve the lens's ability to meet the above specifications, as such lenses are difficult to mold and have high weld lines.

[0037] According to one embodiment of this application, the outer side of the structural flange portion 1 is formed with a bevel.

[0038] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a lens structure diagram of Embodiment 1 of this application. The outer diameter of the lens is φ2R, L is the center thickness of the optical imaging part 2, and L1 is the thickness of the structural flange part 1, which is also the thickest dimension of the lens; the thickness ratio L1 / L≥2; if it is a full circular structure, the weld line 4 is a high risk, and it is difficult to balance surface accuracy and weld line 4; after the edge is cut, the half-diameter H is the optical imaging half-diameter r, the effective optical imaging half-diameter r, a is the distance from the cut edge 3 to the optical imaging part 2, and is also a necessary dimension for processing and forming, 0<a; after the edge is cut, the formula must be satisfied: (r+a) / R≤H / R<1.

[0039] like Figures 3-8 As shown, when the trimming ratio increases, i.e., as the trimming half-diameter H decreases, the weld line 4 gradually improves; when n = RH, simulation software was used to simulate different trimming dimensions. Under constant molding conditions, the weld line 4 length decreases as n increases. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The direction of molten material flow during forming is indicated by the color change from red to green to blue.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] The lens structure of Embodiment 2 of this application is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that the cut edge 3 is asymmetrically distributed along the circumference of the structural flange portion 1.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, improvements, or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
