Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of camera lens technology, and in particular to a glass-plastic hybrid lens for action cameras. Background Technology

[0002] An action camera is a small, rugged digital camera designed specifically for shooting dynamic scenes and extreme sports. Through its lens, it can maintain stable imaging performance in high dynamic environments (such as high-speed movement, vibration, temperature changes, etc.) to facilitate outdoor shooting.

[0003] Currently, traditional lenses mostly use an all-glass lens design, which, while providing high image quality, is heavy and detrimental to the portability of action cameras. On the other hand, while all-plastic lens designs are lightweight, they are prone to deformation in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, affecting image stability. Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues, a hybrid glass-plastic lens is proposed to meet the needs of action cameras for high image quality, lightweight design, and adaptability to high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Utility Model Content

[0012] In order to select a suitable parameter range for the lens, preferably, the plastic - glass hybrid lens for the action camera satisfies the following relationship: 0.05 < f45 / f6 < 0.08, where f45 is the focal length of the combination of the fourth lens and the fifth lens.

The lens also includes an aperture stop 7 disposed between the second lens 2 and the third lens 3. The aperture stop 7 is used to control the amount of light passing through the lens. The first lens 1, fourth lens 4, and sixth lens 6 all have negative refractive power, while the second lens 2, third lens 3, and fifth lens 5 all have positive refractive power.
