[0025] In order to solve the problem that high performance and good assembly stability of the optical lens are difficult to be considered in the prior art, the utility model provides an optical lens.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the optical lens comprises a lens group, a bearing spacer 2, a fixed compression ring 4 and a lens barrel 1, from the object side to the image side of the optical lens, the lens group at least comprises an object end lens, a middle lens 3 and an image end lens, the object end lens is the lens closest to the object side in the optical lens, and the image end lens is the lens closest to the image side in the optical lens; the bearing spacer 2, the outer ring surface of the middle lens 3 is supported on the inner ring surface of the bearing spacer 2; the fixed compression ring 4, the image side surface of the fixed compression ring 4 and the middle lens 3 at least partially support each other, and the fixed compression ring 4 and the bearing spacer 2 are connected through an adhesive part 5; the lens barrel 1, the bearing spacer 2, the lens group and the fixed compression ring 4 are accommodated in the lens barrel 1, and the outer ring surface of the bearing spacer 2 is supported on the inner wall surface of the lens barrel 1.

[0027] The optical lens of the application considers that the middle lens 3 is different from the object end lens and the image end lens, cannot be directly supported on the lens barrel 1 and has no position for auxiliary support on the object side and the image side, the bearing spacer 2 is introduced, the middle lens 3 with a small outer diameter is supported on the inner ring surface of the bearing spacer 2, and the fixed compression ring 4 is supported on the image side of the middle lens 3 for fixation, so that the middle lens 3 is supported on the lens barrel 1 by means of the bearing spacer 2, the position in the radial direction is limited, the fixed compression ring 4 is used to provide the position in the axial direction for stable support and support, the assembly stability of the optical lens is enhanced, the performance, yield and reliability of the optical lens are improved, and the imaging quality of the optical lens is ensured to be stable.

[0028] As shown in Figure 1 , the bearing length C of the outer ring surface of the fixed compression ring 4 and the inner ring surface of the bearing spacer 2 along the optical axis direction of the optical lens satisfies: C > 0.1mm. By controlling the bearing length C, the contact area and strength of the fixed compression ring 4 and the bearing spacer 2 can meet the design requirements, so that the fixed compression ring 4 can withstand the thrust or pressure that the optical lens may encounter in the working and transportation process or the impact in the accidental situation such as equipment falling. If the size of the bearing length C is too small, the contact surface may not be able to provide stable support, resulting in displacement or deformation of the optical lens under the action of these forces, and then affecting the optical performance and service life. The sufficient bearing length size helps to ensure the close fit between the fixed compression ring 4 and the bearing spacer 2, reduce the structural instability and misplacement of the middle lens 3 caused by environmental changes, and thus improve the reliability of the whole optical lens.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the adhesive part 5 adheres and fixes the image side surface of the pressing ring 4 and the inner annular surface of the bearing spacer 2, and the maximum height H of the adhesive part 5 along the optical axis direction of the optical lens satisfies: H > 0.05 mm. By controlling the maximum height H of the adhesive part 5 to be large enough, it is ensured that the glue can be filled smoothly to form a continuous adhesive part 5, thereby providing sufficient adhesion after curing. The setting of the maximum height H also takes into account the shrinkage during the curing of the glue, ensuring that sufficient strength can still be provided after curing.

[0030] As shown, Figure 1 As shown, the adhesive part 5 adheres and fixes the image side surface of the pressing ring 4 and the inner annular surface of the bearing spacer 2, and the maximum width L of the adhesive part 5 along the direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction of the optical lens satisfies: L > 0.15 mm. By controlling the maximum width L of the adhesive part 5 to be large enough, it is ensured that the glue can be filled sufficiently, and at the same time, the maximum width L also affects the distribution of the lateral thrust between the fixed pressing ring 4 and the bearing spacer 2 during the curing of the glue. The larger the width L, the greater the lateral force that the adhesive part 5 can withstand, which helps to improve the stability of the assembled structure.

[0031] By limiting the size of H and L to a certain range, the glue dispensing space size required by the glue dispensing process is met, ensuring that the glue can be effectively filled and form an adhesive part 5 with sufficient strength and rigidity, while not overflowing or forming bubbles to affect the performance of the optical lens. Through the fixed connection of the adhesive part 5, the fixed pressing ring 4 and the bearing spacer 2 will not cause displacement or deformation of the lens or the assembled structure when subjected to thrust.

[0032] Optionally, the material of the adhesive part 5 is one of water-based glue, ultraviolet light curing glue or heat curing glue. The water-based glue is water-based before curing and can be washed with water, which can provide certain flexibility during assembly to facilitate correction of misalignment or contamination before the glue is cured. Ultraviolet light curing glue can be rapidly cured under ultraviolet light, usually only a few seconds to a few minutes, greatly improving production efficiency and also being conducive to achieving high-quality adhesion. In addition, ultraviolet light curing glue performs excellently in optical transparency, making it suitable for the adhesion of parts in optical lenses. Heat curing glue can form a high-strength, high-hardness adhesive part after curing, providing excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, which helps to maintain the adhesion effect for a long time and is suitable for lens products that require high reliability.

[0034] As shown in the figure, Figure 2 The maximum thickness A of the lens bearing part 22 along the direction of the optical axis satisfies: A>0.1mm. By controlling the maximum thickness A of the lens bearing part 22, the strength and stability of the bearing spacer 2 are ensured, and the displacement of the middle lens 3 caused by insufficient strength of the bearing spacer 2 is avoided. In addition, the difficulty of processing and forming is also reduced, and large deformation in the baking or cooling process is avoided, and the production yield is improved.

[0035] Specifically, the size tolerance of the maximum thickness A of the lens bearing part 22 along the direction of the optical axis is within ±10um.

[0037] As shown in the figure, Figure 1 The radius R1 of the bearing spacer 2 and the radius R2 of the middle lens 3 satisfy: R1 / R2>1.2. By controlling the radius ratio of the bearing spacer 2 and the middle lens 3, the stable bearing between the middle lens 3 and the bearing spacer 2 is ensured, and the displacement of the middle lens 3 caused by insufficient bearing area is avoided. At the same time, the middle lens 3 can be smoothly assembled into the bearing spacer 2.

[0038] Optionally, the material of the bearing spacer 2 is PC plastic.

[0039] Optionally, the material of the fixed pressing ring 4 is PC plastic.

[0040] Optionally, the material of the middle lens 3 is glass.

[0041] By selecting appropriate materials, the stable connection between the abutting spacer ring 2, the fixed pressing ring 4 and the middle lens 3 is ensured, the stability and reliability of the optical lens assembly are improved, the displacement and deformation of the lens that may occur in the use process are reduced, and the stability of the optical performance is ensured. At the same time, the durability and processability of the material are also ensured.

[0042] As shown in Figure 2 The image side of the middle lens 3 includes an abutting annular surface 31 and a let-in annular surface 32, the abutting annular surface 31 extends along the direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical lens, and the fixed pressing ring 4 abuts against the abutting annular surface 31; the let-in annular surface 32 is located on the image side of the abutting annular surface 31 and is close to the optical axis relative to the outer annular surface of the middle lens 3, and the let-in annular surface 32 is spaced apart from the fixed pressing ring 4. Such a structural design makes the structural part of the middle lens 3 let in the fixed pressing ring 4 in the radial direction through the let-in annular surface 32, and let in the axial direction through the abutting annular surface 31, avoiding that the fixed pressing ring 4 blocks the imaging light, and is also beneficial to realize miniaturization design.
