Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent doorbell imaging devices, specifically, to an optical system for a day and night confocal ultra-wide-angle doorbell lens. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of smart technology, smart doorbells are gradually replacing traditional doorbells. Compared with traditional doorbells, the visual function of smart doorbells has completely changed the way visitors communicate and home security is handled. Traditional doorbells are limited to simply ringing to alert people to a visitor. After hearing the bell, the homeowner has to go to the door and ask the visitor's identity through the door, which is both time-consuming and poses certain security risks. If they encounter someone with ill intentions, opening the door rashly could put them in danger. Smart doorbells, on the other hand, are completely different. They are equipped with high-definition cameras and displays, building a visual defense line at the doorstep. When a visitor presses the doorbell, the homeowner, even if they are thousands of miles away, can receive an immediate notification via a mobile app and then view the live image outside the door, clearly seeing the visitor's face, clothing, and even the surrounding environment. With its unique visual function, smart doorbells bring a brand-new experience to home life and are bound to become a standard feature in every household in the future, leading a new revolution in home security.
[0003] However, current smart doorbell cameras often suffer from problems such as a narrow angle that fails to fully cover the doorway area, resulting in blind spots; unclear images with severe purple fringing, making it difficult to display image details and affecting user experience; and lack of focus day and night, making it difficult to monitor the outside scene effectively at night.

Visitors, deliverymen, and passersby near the entrance can all be clearly seen, effectively improving security monitoring capabilities.

[0036] This utility model's lens assembly employs a multi-element plastic aspherical lens design. Through proper arrangement, it reduces chromatic aberration at the image edges, particularly purple fringing, resulting in better imaging of the smart doorbell system. This allows it to support 8MP resolution, providing high-definition images where details of people and objects are clearly discernible. Users can accurately identify visitors' facial features, clothing, and information from delivery packages, helping to confirm visitor identity, avoid misjudgments, and better record events at the door, providing clear evidence for potential disputes or security issues.
[0037] This invention can maintain stable imaging without refocusing when there are large temperature changes, and the image quality will not degrade due to temperature changes.

[0082] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0083] The parameters of each lens in this embodiment are listed in Table 1 below, and the aspherical coefficients of the lenses are shown in Table 2 below.
[0084] Table 1 Physical parameters of each lens
[0085]
[0086] Table 2 Aspherical coefficients of lenses
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] The aspherical coefficients satisfy the following equation:
[0090]
[0091] Where z is the aspherical sagitta, c is the paraxial curvature of the aspherical surface, the curvature is the reciprocal of the radius of curvature, y is the lens aperture, k is the conic coefficient, a4 is the 4th order aspherical coefficient, a6 is the 6th order aspherical coefficient, a8 is the 8th order aspherical coefficient, a10 is the 10th order aspherical coefficient, and a12 is the 12th order aspherical coefficient.
[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment, the R-value (radius of curvature), thickness, refractive index, Abbe number (ABB), and focal length (EFL-E) of each lens surface are shown in Table 1, and the aspherical parameters are shown in Table 2. In Table 1, Surf represents the mirror surface number, and INFINITY represents infinity. In Table 2, R1 represents the radius of curvature of the corresponding lens surface facing the object side, and R2 represents the radius of curvature of the corresponding lens surface facing the image side. A positive radius of curvature indicates that the mirror is curved towards the object side, and a negative radius of curvature indicates that the mirror is curved towards the image side. Mirror numbers 1 and 2 represent the two mirrors of the first lens E1 along the direction of light incidence, respectively; mirror numbers 3 and 4 represent the two mirrors of the second lens E2 along the direction of light incidence, respectively; mirror numbers 5 and 6 represent the two mirrors of the third lens E3 along the direction of light incidence, respectively; mirror number 8 represents the object-side mirror of the fourth lens E4; mirror number 9 represents the cemented surface of the fourth lens E4 and the fifth lens E5; mirror number 10 represents the image-side mirror of the fifth lens E5; and mirror numbers 11 and 12 represent the two mirrors of the sixth lens E6 along the direction of light incidence, respectively.
[0093] In this embodiment of the utility model, Figure 2 The modulation transfer function (MTF) curve, representing the visible light band, indicates the overall resolving power of an optical system. The horizontal axis represents spatial frequency (lp / mm), and the vertical axis represents the MTF value. The MTF value is used to evaluate the image quality of a lens, ranging from 0 to 1. It is worth noting that the optical transfer function is a relatively accurate, intuitive, and common way to evaluate the image quality of an optical system; a higher and smoother curve indicates better image quality and a stronger ability to reproduce the true image. Figure 2 It can be seen that in the visible light band, at a spatial frequency of 63 lp / mm, the MTF in the imaging region near the center is >0.8, indicating good imaging quality. Figure 3 This is represented as a defocus curve at 20°C in the visible light band. Figure 3It can be seen that the lens has good MTF concentration, making focusing easy, and the defocus curve trend is consistent across different field of view angles. From Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the defocus curves at both low temperatures (-40℃) and high temperatures (95℃) meet the requirements for high resolution, with small focal point changes and stable thermal drift effects; from Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that the lens meets the requirements for high resolution in both the defocus curve and MTF in the infrared 850nm band, with an infrared defocus amount of 9um, and has good day and night confocal function, enabling clear imaging even at night. Figure 8 This is represented as a relative illumination diagram; the higher the relative illumination, the higher the overall brightness of the captured image. Figure 9 To represent it as an F-THETA distortion map, the smaller the F-THETA distortion, the less the compression at the edges of the image. Figure 10 Represented as a vertical axis chromatic aberration diagram, the smaller the vertical axis chromatic aberration, the better the color reproduction of the image and the better the purple fringing optimization.
