Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical system technology, specifically a high-magnification lightweight eyepiece optical system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of individual soldier equipment, head-mounted glasses, aiming scopes, and other equipment are also expanding towards informatization, intelligence, lightweighting, and multi-purpose applications. The requirements for magnification and lightweighting of eyepieces are also increasing, and it is necessary to ensure the lightweighting of the equipment so that it is easy to carry and use.

[0003] The magnification of a scope refers to the number of times a distant object is magnified when viewed through the eyepiece. The magnification of a scope is not only related to the convexity of the lens, but also affected by the diameter of the lens. Generally speaking, the higher the magnification of a scope, the larger its barrel length and diameter. However, this requires reasonable design and adjustment of the focal length and position of each lens to ensure clear imaging. How to control the number of required lenses and how to ensure that the eyepiece optical system has the advantages of both high magnification and lightweight design are problems that need to be solved in the prior art. In this regard, this application provides a high-magnification lightweight eyepiece optical system to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides a technical solution: a high-magnification, lightweight eyepiece optical system, including an entrance pupil 1, a first lens 2, a second lens 3, a third lens 4, a fourth lens 5, and a microdisplay 6. The first lens 2, second lens 3, third lens 4, fourth lens 5, and microdisplay 6 are arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the eye towards the microdisplay 6. Through the coordinated use of the entrance pupil 1, first lens 2, second lens 3, third lens 4, fourth lens 5, and microdisplay 6, the magnification and lightweight requirements of the eyepiece optical system can be met. The entire eyepiece optical system is lightweight, compact, and has good imaging effects, making it easy to assemble and use. Simultaneously, it significantly reduces eye fatigue during prolonged observation, improving comfort during use. Furthermore, it reduces the actual cost of the entire eyepiece, facilitating mass production and use, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the eyepiece optical system.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it should be noted that both the first lens 2 and the second lens 3 are positive glass lenses. The first lens 2 is a biconvex positive glass lens, and the second lens 3 is a convex-concave meniscus positive glass lens. By using glass lenses, the environmental adaptability of the eyepiece is improved. The third lens 4 is a negative glass lens, also a convex-concave meniscus negative glass lens. The third lens 4 uses a lens with a refractive index greater than 1.94. Specifically, the third lens 4 uses a high refractive index material with a refractive index greater than 1.94, which reduces the spherical aberration of the system and corrects the chromatic aberration of the system. The ratio of the focal length of the first lens 2 to the focal length of the entire lens satisfies the following relationship: 1.2 < |f1 / f| < 2.5, where f is the focal length of the entire lens and f1 is the focal length of the first lens 2.

[0022] In addition, the second lens 3 and the third lens 4 are cemented together to form a negative lens. The side of the second lens 3 closest to the microdisplay 6 and the side of the third lens 4 furthest from the microdisplay 6 are cemented together, so that the second lens 3 and the third lens 4 can be connected to a light source for refraction. The fourth lens 5 is a glass aspherical positive lens. The fourth lens 5 uses a low-melting-point glass lens with a refractive index greater than 1.65. Since the fourth lens 5 is aspherical and uses a low-melting-point glass material with a refractive index greater than 1.65, the aberration of the eyepiece can be reduced, thereby improving the imaging quality of the system.

[0023] In the above embodiment, the magnification is 20x, which is compatible with a 0.37-inch micro-display 6 with 1280×1024 pixels, reducing the overall cost of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can support a micro-display 6 up to 0.39 inches, and the maximum distortion is less than 2.9%, which significantly improves the eye fatigue reduction during long-term observation. The optical back focus distance of the eyepiece is greater than 2.7mm, which can meet the adjustment of more than 6 diopters.

[0024] It should also be noted that the MTF resolution curve of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the horizontal axis represents the spatial frequency of line pairs per millimeter, and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. Figure 2 As can be seen, this embodiment exhibits good contrast within a spatial frequency range of 40 lp / mm in the central region, meeting the requirements for human visual observation. The optical distortion diagram of this embodiment is shown below. Figure 3 As shown, its maximum distortion is only 2.9%.

[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0026] The light source enters the optical system of this high-magnification lightweight eyepiece through the entrance pupil 1, and then is refracted sequentially through the first lens 2, the second lens 3, the third lens 4 and the fourth lens 5, and finally imaged on the micro display screen 6 for the user to view.

[0027] Compared with existing technologies, this high-magnification lightweight eyepiece optical system, through the coordinated use of the entrance pupil 1, first lens 2, second lens 3, third lens 4, fourth lens 5, and microdisplay 6, can meet the magnification and lightweight requirements of an eyepiece optical system. The entire eyepiece optical system is lightweight, compact, and has good imaging effects, making it easy to assemble and use. At the same time, it can significantly reduce eye fatigue during long-term observation, improving the comfort of using the eyepiece optical system. It can also reduce the actual cost of the entire eyepiece, which is conducive to mass production and use. Thus, it effectively improves the practicality of the eyepiece optical system and solves the problem that existing optical systems cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high magnification and lightweight design.
