[0089] The following detailed description of the features and advantages of this utility model in the embodiments is sufficient to enable any person skilled in the art to understand the technical content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. Based on the disclosure of this specification, the scope of the claims, and the accompanying drawings, any person skilled in the art can easily understand the related objectives and advantages of this utility model. The following embodiments further illustrate the viewpoints of this utility model in detail, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model in any way.

[0090] This invention provides an optical lens comprising a lens barrel, a lens, a spacer element, and a holding element. The optical lens has an optical axis passing through the lens barrel. The lens is disposed along the optical axis in the lens barrel and has a first region surrounding the optical axis.

[0091] A spacer element is disposed adjacent to and surrounds the optical axis of a lens, and the spacer element has a first surface, a second surface, a paraxial surface, and an off-axis surface. The second surface is disposed opposite to the first surface, and a first region of the lens is supported on the first surface in a direction parallel to the optical axis. The paraxial surface connects the side of the first surface near the optical axis and the side of the second surface near the optical axis, and the paraxial surface surrounds the optical axis and tapers in a direction toward the optical axis to form a light-passing aperture. The off-axis surface connects the side of the first surface away from the optical axis and the side of the second surface away from the optical axis. The spacer element may have a light-shielding function to prevent glare.

[0092] The maintaining element is fixedly disposed to the lens barrel to maintain the relative fixed position of the lens and the lens barrel on the optical axis. Specifically, the maintaining element is correspondingly disposed to the lens to maintain the lens's position within the lens barrel, preventing lens misalignment or detachment and ensuring stable optical imaging quality. The maintaining element can be disposed on the lens barrel by means of threaded locking, adhesive application, or mechanical snap-fit, or it can be integrally formed with the lens barrel; this invention is not limited to these methods.

[0093] The sustaining element has a second region surrounding the optical axis, the spacer element is disposed between the lens and the sustaining element, and the second region of the sustaining element is supported on the second surface of the spacer element in a direction parallel to the optical axis.

[0094] According to the optical lens disclosed in this utility model, by the corresponding arrangement of the spacer element, lens barrel, lens and holding element, the distance between the lens and the holding element can be controlled to change when the lens deforms due to environmental changes, thereby avoiding stress affecting the optical quality.

[0095] In one embodiment, the first region of the lens and the second region of the holding element may not overlap in a direction parallel to the optical axis. Thus, by using a spacer element to separate the lens and the holding element, and ensuring that the first and second regions do not overlap in a direction parallel to the optical axis, the distance between the lens and the holding element can be controlled to change when the lens deforms due to environmental changes, thereby preventing stress from affecting optical quality.

[0096] In one embodiment, at least one of the lens barrel and the holding element may form a gap with the off-axis surface of the spacer element, and the gap may extend from the off-axis surface of the spacer element along at least one of the first and second surfaces toward the optical axis. This gap provides a margin for the deformability of the spacer element to prevent buckling or displacement during deformation, thereby maintaining structural stability. Specifically, the lens barrel may have a first annular surface surrounding the optical axis, and the lens may be disposed along the optical axis on the first annular surface of the lens barrel. Furthermore, the holding element may further have a second annular surface surrounding the optical axis. A gap may be formed between the off-axis surface of the spacer element and at least one of the first and second annular surfaces, and the gap may extend from the off-axis surface along at least one of the first and second surfaces toward the optical axis. The first and / or second annular surfaces forming the gap with the off-axis surface may face the off-axis surface. Therefore, the gap provides space for the spacer element to deform in directions parallel to and / or perpendicular to the optical axis; furthermore, the gap is formed on the off-axis surface, which prevents the spacer element from being subjected to lateral forces perpendicular to the optical axis during deformation, thereby preventing the spacer element from shifting and affecting optical quality. The first annular surface of the lens barrel may refer to the inner surface of the lens barrel, and the inner surface of the lens barrel may, for example, accommodate lenses and other optical elements (e.g., spacer rings, retaining rings, light shields, etc.). The second annular surface of the holding element may refer to the inner surface of the holding element, and the inner surface of the holding element may, for example, rest against the outer surface of the lens barrel, be assembled with the lens barrel, and / or rest against the spacer element.

[0097] The gap can overlap with either the first region or the second region in a direction parallel to the optical axis. This allows the specific spacing between the lens and the holding element to change with environmental variations, preventing pressure from affecting the optical quality of the lens and thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the optical lens.

[0098] At least one of the lens barrel and the holding element can be clearance-fitted with the spacer element in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis. This allows for sufficient deformation of the spacer element during assembly, preventing interference with other elements during deformation. This clearance fit can also be called a loose fit. It should be noted that while the first region of the lens and the second region of the holding element are substantially coaxial in the mechanism, because the spacer element is assembled with the lens barrel or holding element using a clearance fit, the regions of the first and second regions surrounding the optical axis may be approximately coaxial.

[0099] The sustaining element may include a sustaining portion extending in a direction toward the optical axis, and the sustaining portion having the second region.

[0100] The holding element may further include a barb structure, which is spaced apart from the holding portion and is closer to the optical axis than the off-axis surface of the spacer element. The spacer element may be disposed between the barb structure and the holding portion. This allows the spacer element to be pre-assembled via the barb structure, preventing it from detaching from the holding element and thus improving the assembly process.

[0101] The barbed structure can face and be spaced apart from the lens, and can be further away from the optical axis than the lens. This creates a space between the lens and the barbed structure, preserving the deformability margin of the lens and / or spacer element, and reducing assembly interference between the lens and / or spacer element after deformation. The gap may also include the spacing between the barbed structure and the lens. For example, the gap formed between the off-axis surface of the spacer element and the lens barrel and / or holding element can extend to the space between the barbed structure and the lens.

[0102] The lens barrel, spacer element, and retaining element can be made of materials such as plastic or metal, and this invention is not limited thereto. In embodiments where the spacer element is made of plastic, it can elastically deform when the lens deforms to adaptively reduce stress on the lens and maintain its position, thereby maintaining optical quality. In embodiments where the retaining element is made of metal, the retaining part can have sufficient rigidity to prevent the lens from falling off. The metal material can be, for example, aluminum or brass, but this invention is not limited thereto. Assembling a metal retaining element with a plastic lens barrel further enhances the axial deformation resistance of the plastic lens barrel, thereby improving the impact resistance of the optical lens.

[0103] The optical lens disclosed in this invention may include a lens group, wherein the lens group includes the aforementioned lenses, and the lens group may have at least one plastic lens and at least one glass lens. Thus, the optical lens simultaneously includes both plastic and glass lenses, which can improve optical quality and reduce the impact of the environment on the optical lens. The lenses may be made of plastic. This can correct edge imaging, thereby improving overall optical quality. The lens group is arranged along the optical axis on the first annular surface of the lens barrel; that is, all lenses in the lens group may be arranged sequentially along the optical axis, and all of these lenses may be arranged on the first annular surface of the lens barrel.

[0104] The optical lens disclosed in this invention may further include a damper, which may be disposed within the gap. This provides a buffering function and further improves the airtightness of the optical lens. Furthermore, the damper disposed within the gap also reduces the probability of misalignment of the spacer element.

[0105] The optical lens disclosed in this invention may further include a light-shielding plate surrounding the optical axis. The light-shielding plate may be disposed between the lens and the spacer element, or between the spacer element and the holding element. This reduces the risk of light leakage when the spacer element deforms, thereby ensuring optical quality.

[0106] The paraxial surface of the spacer element may have an anti-reflective surface, and the reflectivity of the anti-reflective surface is lower than that of the off-axis surface. This prevents light reflection from occurring on the paraxial surface, thereby ensuring optical quality. The anti-reflective surface can reduce reflection through special concave-convex structures, V-groove structures, anti-reflective coatings, or nano-coatings, but this invention is not limited to these methods. For example, please refer to... Figure 23 It can be seen that the anti-reflective surface ARL of the paraxial side surface 433 has a concave-convex structure.

[0107] The distance VG between the first region of the lens and the second region of the holding element in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis satisfies the following condition: 0.01 mm ≤ VG ≤ 1.2 mm. This allows for controllable displacement or deformation of the spacer element within a specific distance range. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating the parameter VG according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0108] The distance between the first and second regions in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is VG, and the distance between the first and second regions in the direction parallel to the optical axis is HG. This distance satisfies the following condition: 0.03 ≤ VG / HG ≤ 3.1. Therefore, within a specific distance range, the displacement or deformation range of the spacer element is controllable. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating parameters HG and VG according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0109] Define a cross section parallel to and passing through the optical axis. Within this cross section, a first region has a length RF1 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, and a second region has a length RF2 in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, satisfying the condition: 0.1 ≤ RF1 / RF2 ≤ 5.1. This improves the assembly yield rate of the mechanism at a specific length ratio. Alternatively, it may satisfy the condition: 0.2 ≤ RF1 / RF2 ≤ 2.5. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating parameters RF1 and RF2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0110] The holding section may further have a stop surface, and the spacer element may further have a corresponding stop surface disposed opposite to the stop surface, with the distance between the corresponding stop surface and the stop surface gradually increasing in a direction away from the second region. The stop surface and the corresponding stop surface form an angle A1 in a section parallel to and passing through the optical axis, satisfying the condition: A1 ≤ 20 degrees. This prevents excessive deformation of the spacer element, thereby extending the lifespan of the optical lens. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating parameter A1 according to the first embodiment of the present utility model.

[0111] The length of the stopping surface on the cross-section is SF, and the corresponding length of the stopping surface on the cross-section is CSF, which satisfies the following condition: 0.4 ≤ SF / CSF ≤ 2.5. This provides sufficient support after the spacer element deforms. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating parameters SF and CSF according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0112] In one embodiment, the off-axis surface of the spacer element faces the lens barrel, and the distance between the off-axis surface and the lens barrel in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis is SG, which satisfies the following condition: 0.007 mm ≤ SG ≤ 0.06 mm. This allows for the maintenance of a certain level of optical quality imaging within a specific spacing range. Please refer to... Figure 11 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the parameter SG according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0113] The farthest distance between the spacer element and the center of the lens is SL, and the distance between the axial surface and the lens barrel in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is SG. These distances must satisfy the following condition: 0.9901 ≤ SL / (SL+SG) ≤ 0.9999. Therefore, by using a clearance fit in the assembly of the mechanism, the clearance size can be maintained within a specific range to ensure the stability of the overall mechanism. Please refer to... Figure 10 and Figure 11The figures shown are schematic diagrams illustrating parameters SL and SG according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The spacer element can be a ring-shaped element or an arc-shaped element, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, please refer to... Figures 24 to 26 The diagrams depict planar schematics of the spacer elements of optical lenses according to different embodiments of the present invention. Figure 24 As shown, the spacer element 43 is a ring-shaped element. Figure 25 As shown, the spacer element 53 is an arc-shaped element with a single cut edge. Its shape can be designed and configured, for example, to correspond to a lens with a single cut edge, but this invention is not limited thereto. Figure 26 As shown, the spacer element 63 is an arc-shaped element with a pair of tangent edges. Its shape can be designed and configured, for example, to correspond to a lens with a pair of tangent edges, but this invention is not limited thereto. The farthest distance between the spacer element and the center of the lens can be considered as the outer diameter of the annular spacer element or the arc-shaped spacer element.

[0114] In another embodiment, the off-axis surface of the spacer element faces the sustaining element, wherein the distance between the off-axis surface and the sustaining element in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is SGD, which satisfies the following condition: 0.007 mm ≤ SGD ≤ 0.06 mm. This allows for the maintenance of a certain level of optical quality imaging within a specific spacing range. Please refer to... Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram illustrating the parameter SGD according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

[0115] The farthest distance between the spacer element and the center of the lens is SL, and the distance between the off-axis surface and the holding element in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis is SGD. These distances must satisfy the following condition: 0.9901 ≤ SL / (SL+SGD) ≤ 0.9999. Therefore, by using a clearance fit in the mechanism assembly, the clearance size can be maintained within a specific range to ensure the stability of the overall mechanism. Please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 The figures illustrate parameters SL and SGD according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The spacer element can be an annular element or an arc-shaped element, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The spacer element can be designed and configured as an arc-shaped element with a chopped edge, for example, to correspond to a lens with a chopped edge, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The farthest distance between the spacer element and the center of the lens can be considered as the outer diameter of the annular or arc-shaped spacer element.

[0116] This invention provides a camera module comprising an electronic photosensitive element and the aforementioned optical lens, wherein the electronic photosensitive element is disposed on the imaging surface of the optical lens.

[0117] This invention provides an electronic device that includes the aforementioned camera module.

[0118] The various technical features disclosed in the optical lens of this utility model can be combined and configured to achieve the corresponding effects.

[0119] Based on the above implementation methods, specific embodiments are presented below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
