It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0049] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an industrial lens at an object distance of 400mm, provided as an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another industrial lens provided in an embodiment of the present invention at an object distance of 400mm. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of another industrial lens provided as an embodiment of the present invention at an object distance of 400mm. (See attached diagram.) Figures 1-3 As shown, the industrial lens provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed lens group 10, an aperture stop STO, and a focusing lens group 20 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The fixed lens group 10 is fixedly disposed, while the focusing lens group 20 is movable along the optical axis. The fixed lens group 10 includes a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, and a fourth lens L4 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane. The focusing lens group 20 includes a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, and a seventh lens L7 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane.
[0050] The first lens L1 has positive optical power; the second lens L2 has negative optical power; the third lens L3 has negative optical power; the fourth lens L4 has positive optical power; the fifth lens L5 has positive optical power; the sixth lens L6 has negative optical power; and the seventh lens L7 has positive optical power.
[0051] The first lens L1, the second lens L2, the fourth lens L4, and the fifth lens L5 are glass spherical lenses; the third lens L3, the sixth lens L6, and the seventh lens L7 are plastic aspherical lenses.
[0052] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the fixed lens group 10, the aperture stop STO, and the focusing lens group 20 can be housed in a single lens barrel (not shown in the figure), but are not limited to this.
[0053] The fixed lens group 10 is positioned within the lens barrel so that it remains stationary relative to the image plane, and its optical correction state does not change with the object distance. Since the fixed lens group 10 is stationary and does not participate in focusing motion, it avoids aberration fluctuations caused by overall lens group movement. This reduces the impact on resolution at different object distances, ensuring balanced image quality at various working distances and thus guaranteeing consistent imaging quality across different working distances.
[0054] The focusing lens group 20, acting as a focusing motion group, can reciprocate along the optical axis within the lens barrel to flexibly adjust the focusing position of the optical system and achieve focusing at different object distances. Through the overall displacement of the focusing lens group 20, the lens can complete focusing within a wider working distance range (e.g., 200mm to 800mm or more), adapting to the actual needs of industrial sites with large variations in target height and diverse detection distances, thereby improving the versatility and automation level of the equipment.
[0055] The fixed lens group 10 consists of four lenses, arranged sequentially from the object side to the image side along the optical axis: first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, and fourth lens L4.
[0056] The focusing lens group 20 consists of three lenses, which are arranged along the optical axis from the object side to the image side as follows: the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6, and the seventh lens L7.
[0057] The first lens L1 has positive optical power, and the second lens L2 has negative optical power, which allows more light to enter the optical system and expands the field of view.
[0058] The third lens L3 has negative optical power, which can effectively reduce light rays, lower the light propagation height inside the lens, and reduce the aberrations it produces.
[0059] The fourth lens L4 has positive optical power, the fifth lens L5 has positive optical power, the sixth lens L6 has negative optical power, and the seventh lens L7 has positive optical power. These features can compensate for chromatic aberration, thereby improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0060] Furthermore, aspherical lenses, with their freeform surface shape, can simultaneously correct multiple aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism on a single mirror surface, especially exhibiting superior correction capabilities for higher-order aberrations compared to spherical lenses. In this embodiment, three aspherical lenses are respectively arranged on the third lens L3, the sixth lens L6, and the seventh lens L7, strategically positioning them at key positions in the front, middle, and rear of the optical path. Without increasing the total number of lenses, this significantly improves the system's aberration correction capability and imaging uniformity, while also considering manufacturing costs and mass production feasibility.
[0061] At the same time, the use of aspherical lenses reduces the reliance on complex lens combinations and additional correction elements, enabling a reduction in the overall length of the lens and a simplification of the number of lenses (7-element structure) while maintaining high performance.
[0062] Among them, the aspherical sixth lens L6 and seventh lens L7 are arranged in the focusing lens group 20, which can compensate for aberration drift caused by changes in object distance in real time during focusing, and ensure stable image quality throughout the focusing process.
[0063] The remaining four lenses are all spherical lenses. Spherical lens manufacturing technology is mature, has high consistency, and can reduce costs.
[0064] Furthermore, the spherical lenses (first lens L1, second lens L2, fourth lens L4, and fifth lens L5) are made of glass. Glass has a stable refractive index and a wide Abbe number range, providing excellent chromatic aberration and aberration correction capabilities for spherical lenses with both positive and negative optical powers. Simultaneously, glass has an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion and hygroscopicity, ensuring that the core optical power of the lens remains stable over a wide temperature range and in humid environments. Moreover, as a key positive optical power element in the fixed lens group 10 and the focusing lens group 20, the long-term mechanical stability and anti-aging properties of the glass lenses help ensure the continuous and reliable operation of the industrial lens under harsh working conditions.
[0065] The aspherical lenses (third lens L3, sixth lens L6, and seventh lens L7) are all made of plastic. Plastic is easily molded into high-precision aspherical surfaces through injection molding. Its freeform surface characteristics allow for simultaneous correction of spherical aberration, coma, and astigmatism on a single surface, significantly optimizing image quality, especially beneficial for controlling distortion and field curvature. Simultaneously, the lightweight nature of plastic lenses helps reduce the moment of inertia of the focusing lens group 20, improving focusing speed and accuracy. Furthermore, plastic materials and molding processes offer significant cost advantages for mass production. In addition, plastic aspherical lenses can be flexibly designed as negative optical power (such as third lens L3 and sixth lens L6) for light control and aberration balance, or as positive optical power (such as seventh lens L7) for converging light and image plane flattening, complementing the functions of glass spherical lenses.
[0066] Furthermore, the STO (Stable Tolerance) aperture is a variable-aperture mechanical structure located inside the lens barrel. The STO controls the amount of light reaching the image sensor by adjusting the aperture size, thus affecting the depth of field of the image. The STO also blocks unwanted light from entering the lens, preventing flare or ghosting caused by stray light, and improving image contrast and sharpness. A properly set STO can help reduce certain types of aberrations, such as spherical aberration and coma, improving image quality.
[0067] In this embodiment, placing the aperture stop STO in the optical path between the fixed lens group 10 and the focusing lens group 20 can most effectively limit the final beam aperture participating in imaging, that is, determine the aperture number F of the lens. It intercepts stray light from the excessively large aperture and excessively biased angle (especially the edge field of view) generated by the fixed lens group 10, making the light entering the focusing lens group 20 more regular. This helps to keep the aberration characteristics of the lens (such as field curvature and distortion) relatively stable under different apertures and reduce image quality fluctuations caused by aperture changes.
[0068] The industrial lens provided in this embodiment adopts a 4G3P (4 glass lenses and 3 plastic lenses) structure, which is a mixture of glass spherical lenses and plastic aspherical lenses. By reasonably setting the number of lenses in each lens group, the distribution of optical power and the combination of materials, an industrial lens with high pixel count, wide working range, low distortion and large imaging target area is achieved. The lens has good imaging performance, with an aperture F ≤ 2.5, a total optical length TTL ≤ 60mm, an imaging target area IC ≥ 11.2mm, and optical distortion ≤ 3%.
[0069] As a feasible implementation, the refractive index of the first lens L1 is Nd1, the refractive index of the second lens L2 is Nd2, the refractive index of the third lens L3 is Nd3, and the Abbe number of the third lens L3 is Vd3; 1.75≤Nd1≤2.05; 1.87≤Nd2≤2.05; 1.48≤Nd3≤1.73; 20.38≤Vd3≤59.71.
[0070] The refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to the speed of light in the medium. It is mainly used to describe a material's ability to refract light, and different materials have different refractive indices. The higher the refractive index, the stronger the material's ability to bend light.
[0071] The Abbe number is an index used to represent the dispersion ability of a transparent medium. The more severe the dispersion of the medium, the smaller the Abbe number; conversely, the less severe the dispersion of the medium, the larger the Abbe number.
[0072] In this embodiment, the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are made of high refractive index materials, which facilitates more light entering the optical system and expands the field of view.
[0073] The refractive index and Abbe number of the third lens L3 meet the above conditions, which can effectively reduce the light rays, lower the light propagation height inside the lens, and reduce the aberrations they produce.
[0074] As a feasible implementation method, the optical power of the first lens L1 is φ1, the optical power of the second lens L2 is φ2, the optical power of the third lens L3 is φ3, and the optical power of the industrial lens is φ; 0.08≤φ1 / φ≤0.25; -0.73≤φ2 / φ≤-0.48; -0.44≤φ3 / φ≤-0.29.
[0075] When the optical power of the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 meets the above range, it is beneficial for more light to enter the optical system and expand the field of view.
[0076] When the optical power of the third lens L3 meets the above range, it can effectively reduce the light beam, lower the light propagation height inside the lens, and reduce the aberrations it produces.
[0077] As a feasible implementation, the refractive index of the fourth lens L4 is Nd4, and the refractive index of the fifth lens L5 is Nd5; the Abbe number of the fourth lens L4 is Vd4, and the Abbe number of the fifth lens L5 is Vd5; 3.37≤Nd4+Nd5≤3.58; 47.29≤Vd5-Vd4≤62.99.
[0078] When the refractive index and Abbe number of the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 meet the above range, the dispersion can compensate for each other to achieve the purpose of eliminating chromatic aberration, which is beneficial to improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0079] As a feasible implementation, the optical power of the fourth lens L4 is φ4, and the optical power of the fifth lens L5 is φ5; 0.68≤(φ4+φ5) / φ≤1.03.
[0080] When the optical power of the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 meets the above range, the dispersion can be mutually compensated to achieve the purpose of eliminating chromatic aberration, which is beneficial to improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0081] As a feasible implementation, the refractive index of the sixth lens L6 is Nd6, and the refractive index of the seventh lens L7 is Nd7; the Abbe number of the sixth lens L6 is Vd6, and the Abbe number of the seventh lens L7 is Vd7; 3.15≤Nd6+Nd7≤3.34; 5.86≤Vd7-Vd6≤35.21.
[0082] When the refractive index and Abbe number of the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 meet the above range, the dispersion can compensate for each other to achieve the purpose of eliminating chromatic aberration, which is beneficial to improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0083] As a feasible implementation, the optical power of the sixth lens L6 is φ6, and the optical power of the seventh lens L7 is φ7; -0.01≤(φ6+φ7)≤0.24.
[0084] When the optical power of the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 meets the above range, the dispersion can be mutually compensated to achieve the purpose of eliminating chromatic aberration, which is beneficial to improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0085] It should be noted that, by rationally matching the optical power of each lens, this embodiment of the utility model can achieve the required optical performance indicators (such as high pixel count, wide working range, low distortion, large imaging target area, etc.) while making the path of light smoother when passing through the entire industrial lens, reducing unnecessary reflection and absorption, which is beneficial to improving light transmission and imaging quality.
[0086] As a possible implementation method, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the object-side surface of the first lens L1 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. The object-side surface of the second lens L2 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. The object-side surface of the third lens L3 is convex, and the image-side surface is concave. The object-side surface of the fourth lens L4 is concave, and the image-side surface is convex. The object-side surface of the fifth lens L5 is convex, and the image-side surface is convex. The object-side surface of the sixth lens L6 is concave, and the image-side surface is concave. The object-side surface of the seventh lens L7 is convex, and the image-side surface is convex.
[0087] The shape of the lens affects the direction of light propagation, determining how light bends as it passes through the lens, which in turn affects the amount of light transmitted through the lens and the quality and characteristics of the image.
[0088] In this embodiment, the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 are meniscus glass spherical lenses that are convex in the front and concave in the back, which can facilitate more light entering the optical system and expand the field of view.
[0089] The third lens, L3, is a convex-concave plastic aspherical lens that effectively constricts light rays, reduces the propagation height of light rays inside the lens, and minimizes the resulting aberrations.
[0090] The fourth lens L4 is a concave-convex glass spherical lens, the fifth lens L5 is a biconvex glass spherical lens, the sixth lens L6 is a biconcave plastic aspherical lens, and the seventh lens L7 is a biconvex plastic aspherical lens. These features can compensate for chromatic aberration, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating chromatic aberration and improving the imaging performance of the optical system.
[0091] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, by rationally matching the surface shapes of each lens, while meeting the optical power requirements of each lens and achieving the required optical performance indicators (such as high pixel count, wide working range, low distortion, and large imaging target area), it is beneficial to further reduce the overall optical length of the entire industrial lens, thereby realizing a miniaturized lens design. Furthermore, it can make the path of light smoother when passing through the entire industrial lens, reducing unnecessary reflection and absorption, which is beneficial to improving light transmission and imaging quality.
[0092] As a feasible implementation, the air gap between the first lens L1 and the second lens L2 on the optical axis is T12; the air gap between the second lens L2 and the third lens L3 on the optical axis is T23; the air gap between the third lens L3 and the fourth lens L4 on the optical axis is T34; the air gap between the fifth lens L5 and the sixth lens L6 on the optical axis is T56; the air gap between the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 on the optical axis is T67; the distance on the optical axis from the object side of the first lens L1 to the aperture stop STO is T14; the distance on the optical axis from the aperture stop STO to the image plane is T57; 4.03≤T14 / (T12+T23+T34)≤5.94; 5.05≤T57 / (T56+T67)≤15.45.
[0093] Adjusting the air gap between different lenses helps to achieve the characteristics of low distortion, low chromatic aberration, and low field curvature.
[0094] As a feasible implementation method, the focal length of the industrial lens is EFFL, the imaging target diameter of the industrial lens is IC, and the field of view of the industrial lens is FOV; 0.77≤FOV / EFFL / IC≤0.81.
[0095] When an industrial lens meets the above conditions, it can reduce the light propagation height inside the lens, reduce the aberrations it produces, and make the light path and refraction angle on both sides of the image consistent or close, which helps to reduce field curvature and distortion and improve the uniformity of the full field of view imaging.
[0096] As a possible implementation method, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the focusing lens group 20 also includes a filter CG, which is located on the image side of the seventh lens L7. It can protect the image sensor from dust and contamination, thereby ensuring the imaging effect of the lens.
[0097] In some cases, the filter CG can also be used to correct specific aberrations or filter out unwanted light, and this embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit this.
[0098] As a feasible implementation method, the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 can be bonded together with adhesive to form a cemented lens group. Bonding the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 can effectively correct chromatic aberration, reduce lens eccentricity sensitivity, balance lens aberrations, and improve image quality. Simultaneously, it can reduce lens assembly sensitivity, thereby reducing the difficulty of lens manufacturing processes and improving lens assembly yield.
[0099] As a possible implementation method, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the distance between the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 on the optical axis is greater than 0. The sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 can be supported by a spacer, making them independent lenses. This reduces production costs and makes it easier to adjust and optimize the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7, thus helping to adapt to different optical design requirements and improve image quality.
