[0018] Embodiments of the present utility model provide binoculars designed to magnify distant objects into the human eye after passing through an optical system, thus making detailed observation clearer.
[0019] As in Fig. 1, a binocular comprises an objective lens group 1, a Pechan prism group 2, a real image surface of the objective lens 3, and an eyepiece group 4, which are provided sequentially along the direction of the optical axis from the object side to the observation side.
[0020] Lens group 1 includes a first lens of a biconvex lens type L11 with a positive optical focal length, a second lens of a meniscus lens type L12 with a negative optical focal length, a third lens of a meniscus lens type L13 with a positive optical focal length, and a fourth lens of a meniscus lens type L14 with a negative optical focal length, which are arranged sequentially along the optical axis direction from the object side to the observation side. The fourth lens of the lens type L14 is movably arranged along the optical axis direction, and focusing is achieved from infinity to 3 meters by reciprocating the fourth lens of the lens type L14 along the optical axis direction.
[0021] Pechan prism group 2 comprises a half-pentaprism L21 and a roof prism L22. This Pechan prism group 2 significantly shortens the overall optical length of the entire optical system and allows the image formed by the light from a distant object to pass through lens group 1, be inverted, and imaged onto the real image surface of lens 3.
[0022] The eyepiece group 4 includes a first lens of a biconcave type eyepiece L41 with a negative optical focal length, a second lens of a biconvex type eyepiece L42 with a positive optical focal length, a third lens of a biconvex type eyepiece L43 with a positive optical focal length, a fourth lens of a meniscus type eyepiece L44 with a negative optical focal length, and a fifth lens of a meniscus type eyepiece L45 with a positive optical focal length, which are arranged sequentially along the direction of an optical axis from the object side to the observation side. The eyepiece group 4 is designed to magnify the actual image area of the objective lens 3, so that the human eye can ultimately see objects with a magnification of 10x.
[0023] The first lens of objective lens L11 and the second lens of objective lens L12 are cemented at the sides where they meet, the first lens of eyepiece L41 and the second lens of eyepiece L42 are cemented at the sides where they meet, and the third lens of eyepiece L43 and the fourth lens of eyepiece L44 are cemented at the sides where they meet. Cementing the positive and negative lenses can significantly improve the problem of chromatic aberration in binoculars. At the same time, the overall length of the entire optical system is shortened after cementing the lenses.
[0024] The binoculars' angle of view ranges from 6° to 6.5°, their exit pupil diameter ranges from 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm, and their exit pupil distance ranges from 15 mm to 17 mm. The longer exit pupil distance makes them easier to use for different groups of people.
[0025] The aperture of the first lens of the L11 objective lens ranges from 30 mm to 50 mm, and the total length of the binoculars' optical system does not exceed 130 mm. The binoculars' small size reflects their comfortable handling.
[0026] Table 1 below lists the actual parameters of each lens of this embodiment that correspond to the above characteristics: Table 1 lens Serial number Y-radius (mm) Thickness (mm) refractive index Abbe number First lens of the lens 1 113,732 7,092 1,484 83,580 Second lens of the lens 2 -75,473 1,361 1,792 28,553 3 -563,816 2,922 Third lens of the lens 4 47,187 3,940 1,639 53,611 5 121,585 D(5) Fourth lens of the lens 6 53,628 0,957 1,518 67,100 7 27,657 D(7) Pechan prism group / / / / / 8 10,021 First lens of the eyepiece 9 -16,329 1,257 1,838 38,880 Second lens of the eyepiece 10 29,123 8,522 1,819 37,248 11 -15,537 1,447 Third lens of the eyepiece 12 56,325 6,495 1,524 55,380 Fourth lens of the eyepiece 13 -17,732 0,747 1,865 18,567 14 -28,383 0,134 Fifth lens of the eyepiece 15 10,507 4,532 1,704 42,518 16 53,379 16,625
[0027] The changes in the air gap parameters of the binoculars are shown in Table 2 below: Table 2 Object distance Infinite 3 meters D(5) 40,15 43,11 D(7) 10,75 7,79
[0028] Where D(5) is the central air gap between the third lens of objective L13 and the fourth lens of objective L14 in the direction of the optical axis; and D(7) is the central air gap between the fourth lens of objective L14 and the Pechan prism group 2 in the direction of the optical axis.
[0029] In summary, these binoculars offer the following advantages: Firstly, in terms of performance, this binocular achieves high resolution in the center of the field of view and in the wide field of view, and uses multiple groups of cemented lenses and low dispersion glass to significantly reduce chromatic aberration; Secondly, the overall structure is compact and has the advantages of small size and light weight. Thirdly, the prism combination of half-pentaprism and roof prism significantly shortens the overall length of the binoculars and makes them more comfortable.
[0030] Of course, the above-mentioned embodiments serve only as examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the embodiments. Other forms of changes or modifications are also possible for general technical personnel in this field based on the above description. An exhaustive list of all embodiments is neither necessary nor possible. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
