[0044] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical lens provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical lens provided in Embodiment 2 of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the optical lens provided in Embodiment 3 of this utility model, combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the optical lens provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a first lens 101, a second lens 102, a third lens 103, a fourth lens 104, a fifth lens 105, a sixth lens 106, and a seventh lens 107 arranged sequentially along the optical axis from the object plane to the image plane; the first lens 101, the second lens 102, the fourth lens 104, and the sixth lens 106 are all negative power lenses, while the third lens 103, the fifth lens 105, and the seventh lens 107 are all positive power lenses; the optical power of the first lens 101 is φ1, and the optical power of the second lens 102 is φ2. The optical power of the third lens 103 is φ3, the optical power of the fourth lens 104 is φ4, the optical power of the fifth lens 105 is φ5, the optical power of the sixth lens 106 is φ6, the optical power of the seventh lens 107 is φ7, and the optical power of the optical lens is φ; wherein, -0.3≤φ1 / φ≤-0.2, -0.5≤φ2 / φ≤-0.35, 0.3≤φ3 / φ≤0.5, -0.5≤φ4 / φ≤-0.4, 0.75≤φ5 / φ≤0.85, -0.5≤φ6 / φ≤-0.4, and 0.2≤φ7 / φ≤0.3.

[0046] Specifically, the optical lens provided in this embodiment includes a first lens 101, a second lens 102, a third lens 103, a fourth lens 104, a fifth lens 105, a sixth lens 106, and a seventh lens 107. That is, the optical lens includes seven lenses with optical power. The arrangement of seven lenses ensures that the number of lenses in the optical system is reasonable. Too many lenses will result in a large lens size, and too few lenses will result in large aberrations due to a single lens bearing a large optical power. This ensures that the optical system is miniaturized while ensuring small imaging aberrations and high imaging quality.

[0047] Furthermore, optical power is equal to the difference between the convergence of the image-side beam and the convergence of the object-side beam, characterizing the optical system's ability to deflect light. The larger the absolute value of the optical power, the stronger the bending ability of light; the smaller the absolute value, the weaker the bending ability. When the optical power is positive, the refraction of light is converging; when the optical power is negative, the refraction of light is diverging. In this embodiment, both the first lens 101 and the second lens 102 are negative optical power lenses. The first lens 101 and the second lens 102, as the lenses that first adjust the incident light in the optical lens, have a negative optical power setting that ensures a larger aperture before the light enters the aperture stop, increasing the aperture of the optical lens and enabling the lens to still produce clear images under dim or dark conditions. The third lens 103, with positive optical power, can promptly correct the large aberrations produced by the first lens 101 and the second lens 102, especially significantly correcting the edge aberrations of the optical lens, thereby improving the imaging resolution of the optical system. Furthermore, the optical power of the fourth lens 104 is negative, the optical power of the fifth lens 105 is positive, the optical power of the sixth lens 106 is negative, and the optical power of the seventh lens 107 is positive. The optical power of each subsequent lens in the optical path is different from that of the preceding lens, which is beneficial for aberration correction.

[0048] Furthermore, the optical power φ1 of the first lens 101, the optical power φ2 of the second lens 102, the optical power φ3 of the third lens 103, the optical power φ4 of the fourth lens 104, the optical power φ5 of the fifth lens 105, the optical power φ6 of the sixth lens 106, and the optical power φ7 of the seventh lens 107 satisfy the following relationships with the optical power φ of the optical lens: -0.3≤φ1 / φ≤-0.2, -0.5≤φ2 / φ≤-0.35, 0.3≤φ 3 / φ≤0.5, -0.5≤φ4 / φ≤-0.4, 0.75≤φ5 / φ≤0.85, -0.5≤φ6 / φ≤-0.4, 0.2≤φ7 / φ≤0.3. By further limiting the ratio between the optical power of each lens and the optical power of the lens, the optical path can be further optimized, the light propagation path can be adjusted, off-axis aberrations can be fully corrected, spherical aberration and chromatic aberration of the optical lens can be corrected, field curvature can be optimized, and the image quality of the lens can be further improved.

[0049] In summary, the optical system provided by this embodiment of the invention, by setting the optical lens to include seven lenses with optical power, ensures a suitable total length of the optical lens by reasonably setting the number of lenses, achieving a relatively miniaturized design while ensuring small imaging aberrations and high image quality. Furthermore, the optical power of the seven lenses is arranged in a negative-negative-positive-negative-positive-negative-positive pattern. This reasonable arrangement of the seven lenses' optical power allows for an increase in the aperture of the optical lens and an improvement in its imaging resolution. Moreover, by reasonably setting the ratio between the optical power of each lens and the optical power of the entire lens, the light propagation path can be further adjusted, the optical path optimized, off-axis aberrations corrected, spherical and chromatic aberration corrected, and field curvature optimized, further improving the image quality of the lens.

[0050] Based on the above embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 As shown, the optical lens also includes an aperture stop (not shown) and a filter 108; the aperture stop is disposed in the optical path between the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104, or in the optical path between the fourth lens 104 and the fifth lens 105; the filter 108 is disposed in the optical path between the seventh lens 107 and the image plane.

[0051] Specifically, by setting an aperture stop, the propagation direction of the light beam can be adjusted, which helps to improve image quality. Furthermore, the aperture stop in this optical lens can be located in the optical path between the third lens 103 and the fourth lens 104, or in the optical path between the fourth lens 104 and the fifth lens 105. The purpose is to control higher-order aberrations of the lens at the front end, ensuring good image quality while improving image height and widening the target area at the rear end of the lens. Further, a filter 108 is disposed in the optical path between the seventh lens 107 and the image plane. The filter 108 can filter out interfering light, improving the imaging effect of the optical lens.

[0052] Furthermore, the optical lens provided in this embodiment may also include a protective glass and an imaging sensor. The protective glass can be disposed on the image-side of the filter, and the imaging sensor can be disposed on the image-side of the protective glass. The optical system is protected by the protective glass, and the image is acquired by the imaging sensor, enabling the optical system to perform its normal imaging function.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, the optical aperture of the first lens 101 is D, and the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view of the optical lens is ImgH; wherein, 2.2≤D / ImgH≤2.5.

[0054] Specifically, by establishing the correspondence between the optical aperture of the first lens 101 and the image height corresponding to the maximum field of view, the feature of high pixel miniaturization can be achieved.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, the aperture number of the optical lens is FNO, and the total optical length is TTL; wherein, 0.077≤FNO / TTL≤0.117. By rationally designing the correspondence between the aperture number and the total optical length, the feature of large aperture miniaturization can be achieved.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, the first lens 101 includes a first object-side surface near the object plane and a first image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the first object-side surface is convex and the first image-side surface is concave; the second lens 102 includes a second object-side surface near the object plane and a second image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the second object-side surface and the second image-side surface are concave; the third lens 103 includes a third object-side surface near the object plane and a third image-side surface near the image plane, wherein the third object-side surface and the third image-side surface are convex; and the fourth lens 104 includes a fourth object-side surface near the object plane. The fifth lens 105 includes a fifth object-side surface near the object plane and a fifth image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are concave and convex. The sixth lens 106 includes a sixth object-side surface near the object plane and a sixth image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are concave and convex. The seventh lens 107 includes a seventh object-side surface near the object plane and a seventh image-side surface near the image plane, both of which are concave and convex.

[0057] Specifically, the object-side surface of a lens can be understood as the surface of the lens closest to the object plane, and the image-side surface can be understood as the surface of the lens closest to the image plane. The first object-side surface is convex, and the first image-side surface is concave. That is, the object-side surface of the first lens 101 convexes towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface is concave towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the first lens 101 is a lens with a convex-concave structure. Specifically, the first lens 101 can be a meniscus negative lens that is convex in the front and concave in the back. This surface design can further smooth the object-side light rays into the imaging system while reducing the front aperture of the lens.

[0058] The second object-side surface is concave, and the second image-side surface is also concave. That is, the object-side surface of the second lens 102 is concave towards the object plane near the optical axis, and the image-side surface is concave towards the image plane near the optical axis. In other words, the second lens 102 is a double-concave lens. Furthermore, the object-side surface of the second lens 102 bends towards the image plane. Meeting this condition can change the relative position and size of the ghost image reflected from the object-side surface of the second lens 102 on the image plane, effectively reducing the relative energy value of the ghost image and achieving the requirement of weak ghosting.

[0059] The third object-side surface is convex, and the third image-side surface is convex. That is, the object-side surface of the third lens 103 convexes towards the object surface near the optical axis, and the image-side surface convexes towards the image surface near the optical axis. In other words, the third lens 103 is a lens with a biconvex structure.

[0060] The fourth object-side surface is concave, and the fourth image-side surface is convex. That is, the object-side surface of the fourth lens 104 is concave towards the object surface at the position near the optical axis, and the image-side surface is convex towards the image surface at the position near the optical axis. In other words, the fourth lens 104 is a lens with a concave-convex structure.

[0061] The fifth object-side surface is convex, and the fifth image-side surface is also convex. That is, the object-side surface of the fifth lens 105 convexes towards the object surface near the optical axis, and the image-side surface convexes towards the image surface near the optical axis. In other words, the fifth lens 105 is a lens with a biconvex structure.

[0062] The sixth object-side surface is concave, and the sixth image-side surface is convex. That is, the object-side surface of the sixth lens 106 is concave towards the object surface near the optical axis, and the image-side surface is convex towards the image surface near the optical axis. In other words, the sixth lens 106 is a lens with a concave-convex structure.

[0063] The seventh object-side surface is concave, and the seventh image-side surface is convex. That is, the object-side surface of the seventh lens 107 is concave towards the object surface at the position near the optical axis, and the image-side surface is convex towards the image surface at the position near the optical axis. In other words, the seventh lens 107 is a lens with a concave-convex structure.

[0064] By designing the surface shape of each lens and combining the optical power of each lens, the imaging effect of the optical lens and the overall size of the optical lens can be further adjusted.

[0065] Based on the above embodiments, the refractive index of the first lens 101 is n1, the refractive index of the second lens 102 is n2, the refractive index of the third lens 103 is n3, the refractive index of the fourth lens 104 is n4, the refractive index of the fifth lens 105 is n5, the refractive index of the sixth lens 106 is n6, and the refractive index of the seventh lens 107 is n7; wherein, 1.81 <n1<2.01,1.41<n2<1.61,1.85<n3<2.05,1.54<n4<1.74,0.83≤n5 / n6≤1.06,1.44<n7<1.64。

[0066] The first lens 101 employs a high-refractive-index negative power lens, which is beneficial for light collection and meets the requirements of a large field of view. The third lens 103 employs a high-refractive-index positive power lens, which helps reduce radial dimensions. Furthermore, the design of the second lens 102 (low-refractive-index + biconcave lens) combined with the design of the third lens 103 (high-refractive-index + biconvex lens) allows light from different positions to be focused onto the same imaging plane, effectively correcting spherical aberration. Further, the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 can be cemented together, and the refractive index ratio of the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 is within the range of 0.83 ≤ n5 / n6 ≤ 1.06, meaning that the refractive indices of the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 are comparable. This allows light to enter the sixth lens 106 relatively smoothly from the fifth lens 105, without significant light reversal between the two lenses, reducing interface aberrations and improving image sharpness. By properly setting the refractive index of each lens, the optical path can be further optimized, finding the optimal solution between aberration correction, resolution, size and weight, cost and mass production, and scene adaptation.

[0067] Based on the above embodiment, the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 are cemented together.

[0068] Specifically, the cemented joint between lenses can be understood as the image-side surface of the preceding lens being bonded to the object-side surface of the following lens. Specifically, the cemented joint between the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 can be understood as the image-side surface of the fifth lens 105 being bonded to the object-side surface of the sixth lens 106, that is, the image-side surface of the fifth lens 105 being bonded to the object-side surface of the sixth lens 106. By cementing the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106, the air gap between them can be reduced, which helps to reduce the overall optical length of the lens. It can also reduce tolerance sensitivity issues such as tilt / eccentricity during lens assembly, simplifying the assembly process in lens manufacturing and improving equipment efficiency. At the same time, the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 can also reduce light loss caused by inter-lens reflections, improve illumination, and significantly suppress ghosting and flare, especially in high-contrast environments such as backlighting, resulting in cleaner, higher-contrast images. Furthermore, cemented lenses can be used to minimize or eliminate chromatic aberration. Using cemented lenses in optical lenses can improve image quality and reduce light energy reflection loss, thereby improving image quality and enhancing the sharpness of the lens image. Furthermore, the cementing arrangement between the fifth lens 105 and the sixth lens 106 can be achieved through a spacer or by adhesive bonding; this embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific bonding method.

[0069] Furthermore, the Abbe number of the fifth lens 105 is VD5, and the Abbe number of the sixth lens 106 is VD6; where VD5 - VD6 > 30. By setting the fifth lens 105 as a high Abbe number lens with positive optical power and the sixth lens 106 as a low Abbe number lens with negative optical power, and by cementing lenses with different dispersion characteristics together, aberrations caused by differences in the refractive index of different colors of light can be effectively corrected, thereby improving the color reproduction and sharpness of the image.

[0070] Based on the above embodiments, the first lens 101 and the third lens 103 are both glass spherical lenses, and the second lens 102, the fourth lens 104, the fifth lens 105, the sixth lens 106 and the seventh lens 107 are all plastic aspherical lenses.

[0071] Specifically, spherical lenses are characterized by a constant curvature from the center to the periphery, ensuring a simple lens setup. Furthermore, due to the low coefficient of thermal expansion and good stability of glass lenses, both the first lens 101 and the third lens 103 are glass spherical lenses. The thermal properties of glass spherical lenses are more stable, ensuring good resolving power over a wide temperature range when handling higher optical powers. Moreover, the range of glass materials available is wider, and the choice of refractive index and Abbe number is relatively flexible, allowing for better control of higher aberrations and chromatic aberration, meeting the needs of use under complex conditions.

[0072] Aspherical lenses are characterized by a continuous change in curvature from the center to the periphery, unlike spherical lenses which have a constant curvature from the center to the periphery. Aspherical lenses possess superior curvature radius characteristics, offering advantages in improving distortion and astigmatism. The second lens 102, fourth lens 104, fifth lens 105, sixth lens 106, and seventh lens 107 are all plastic aspherical lenses. The use of plastic aspherical lenses simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the cost of the aspherical lens, thus lowering the overall cost of the optical system.

[0073] Therefore, the optical lens provided in this embodiment of the present invention can adopt a combination of glass spherical lenses and plastic aspherical lenses, which can effectively control the cost of the optical lens while ensuring its optical performance; at the same time, the materials of each lens have a mutual compensating effect, which can ensure normal use in high and low temperature environments.

[0074] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the aspherical lens of the optical system satisfies the following formula:

[0075]

[0076] Where z is the axial sagitta in the Z direction of the aspherical surface; r is the height of the aspherical surface; c is the curvature of the fitted sphere, which is numerically the reciprocal of the radius of curvature; k is the coefficient of the fitted cone; and AH are the coefficients of the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, and 16th order terms of the aspherical polynomial.

[0077] Based on the same concept, this utility model embodiment also provides an imaging device, including the optical lens described in the above embodiment, which has the corresponding technical effects, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] Next, the parameters of each lens in the optical lens will be explained using specific embodiments.

[0088] Furthermore, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the field curvature and distortion of the optical lens provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Figure 4 It has two coordinate systems. In the left coordinate system, the horizontal coordinate represents the magnitude of the field curvature, in mm; the vertical coordinate represents the angle, in °. Figure 4As can be seen from the left coordinate system, the optical lens provided in this embodiment effectively controls field curvature, meaning that during imaging, the difference in image quality between the center and the periphery is small, resulting in good consistency. In the right coordinate system, the horizontal axis represents the magnitude of distortion, in %; the vertical axis represents angle, in °; and...

The aberration of this optical lens at different wavelengths (436nm, 486nm, 546nm, 587nm, 656nm) is within ±0.03mm, indicating that the transverse aberration of this optical lens is well corrected.

[0090] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the light field fan of the optical lens provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. The light field fan diagram is one of the most commonly used evaluation methods in modern optical design. Figure 6 As shown, the horizontal axis of a single ray fan plot represents the normalized beam aperture, and the vertical axis represents the transverse aberration. Ideally, each curve should perfectly coincide with the horizontal axis, at which point all rays in the field of view focus at the same point on the image plane. The vertical axis in a single image can also represent the maximum diffusion range of the beam on the ideal image plane. Ray fan plots can not only reflect monochromatic aberrations of different wavelengths but also the magnitude of transverse chromatic aberration. Figure 6 As shown, the ray fan plots of the optical system at various wavelengths (436nm, 486nm, 546nm, 587nm, 656nm) in each field of view closely approximate the horizontal axis, indicating that the transverse aberrations at each wavelength (436nm, 486nm, 546nm, 587nm, 656nm) are well corrected. Furthermore, the curves for each color corresponding to each wavelength (436nm, 486nm, 546nm, 587nm, 656nm) do not exhibit significant dispersion, indicating that the optical system of this lens also provides good correction for chromatic aberration, ensuring the imaging requirement of sharp images across the entire spectral range.

[0091] In summary, the optical lens provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model constructs a 2G5P optical system. By optimizing the optical power and relative positions of each lens element, a balanced design of compact structure, large aperture, and high resolution is achieved while meeting imaging quality requirements. This results in a high-resolution, miniaturized, and low-cost glass-plastic hybrid panoramic high-definition optical lens with high reliability, capable of operation within a temperature range of -40℃ to 85℃.
