[0028] As shown in Figures 1 to 16, the technical solution of the present invention provides imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40. Figures 1, 5, 9, and 13 show imaging optical lenses 10, 20, 30, and 40 according to the present invention, each of which includes seven lenses in total. Specifically, the imaging optical lens includes, in order from the object side to the image side, a first lens L1, a second lens L2, a third lens L3, a fourth lens L4, a fifth lens L5, a sixth lens L6, and a seventh lens L7. An optical element such as an optical filter GF may be provided between the seventh lens L7 and the image plane Si.

[0029] The first lens L1 is made of glass, the second lens L2 is made of plastic, the third lens L3 is made of plastic, the fourth lens L4 is made of plastic, the fifth lens L5 is made of plastic, the sixth lens L6 is made of plastic, and the seventh lens L7 is made of plastic. The combination of glass and plastic lenses reduces chromatic aberration and improves the performance of the imaging optical lens. Each lens may be made of other materials.

[0030] The object-side and image-side surfaces of the first lens L1, second lens L2, third lens L3, fourth lens L4, fifth lens L5, sixth lens L6 and seventh lens L7 are all aspheric.

[0031] The object side surface of the first lens L1 is a paraxially convex surface, and the image side surface is a paraxially concave surface, and the first lens L1 has positive refractive power. The object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens L1 may be arranged in other concave / convex distribution conditions.

[0032] The object side surface of the second lens L2 is a paraxially convex surface, and the image side surface is a paraxially concave surface, and the first lens L2 has negative refractive power. The object side surface and the image side surface of the first lens L2 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0033] The third lens L3 has a paraxially concave object side surface and a paraxially concave image side surface, and has negative refractive power. The object side and image side surfaces of the third lens L3 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0034] The fourth lens L4 has a paraxially convex object side surface and a paraxially convex image side surface, and has positive refractive power. The object side and image side surfaces of the fourth lens L4 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0035] The fifth lens L5 has a paraxially convex object side surface and a paraxially concave image side surface, and has negative refractive power. The object side and image side surfaces of the fifth lens L5 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0036] The sixth lens L6 has a paraxially convex object side surface and a paraxially convex image side surface, and has positive refractive power. The object side and image side surfaces of the sixth lens L6 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0037] The seventh lens L7 has a paraxially convex object side surface and a paraxially concave image side surface, and has negative refractive power. The object side and image side surfaces of the seventh lens L7 may be arranged in other concave / convex distributions.

[0038] If the focal length of the first lens is defined as f1, the focal length of the fourth lens as f4, and the focal length of the fifth lens as f5, then the conditional expression 5.00≦(f4−f5) / f1≦12.00 is satisfied. Within the range of this conditional expression, it is advantageous to rationally allocate the power of the imaging optical lens, so that the imaging optical lens has good imaging quality and effectively reduces the sensitivity of the imaging optical lens.

[0039] If the paraxial central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the second lens is defined as R3, the paraxial central radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the second lens is defined as R4, and the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f, the conditional expression 2.10≦(R3+R4) / f≦3.50 is satisfied. By rationally controlling the ratio between the sum of the radii of curvature of the object-side and image-side surfaces of the second lens and the total effective focal length of the system within the range of this conditional expression, the third-order coma aberration of the system can be controlled within a reasonable range, which is advantageous for balancing the amount of coma generated in the leading lens of the optical imaging system, and the system will have good imaging quality. Preferably, the conditional expression 2.10≦(R3+R4) / f≦2.90 is satisfied.

[0040] If the central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the fifth lens at the paraxial direction is defined as R9, the central radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the fifth lens at the paraxial direction is defined as R10, and the on-axis thickness of the fifth lens is defined as d9, then the conditional expression 20.00≦(R9+R10) / d9≦40.00 is satisfied. By rationally designing the shape of the fifth lens within the range of this conditional expression, the refraction angle of light rays at the fifth lens can be optimized, which is advantageous for achieving a wider angle of view.

[0041] If the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f, the focal length of the second lens as f2, and the focal length of the third lens as f3, the conditional expression -9.00≦(f2-f3) / f≦-3.00 is satisfied. Within the range of this conditional expression, it is advantageous for reducing the sensitivity to decentering and thickness of the second lens and for improving lens processing performance. Preferably, the conditional expression -7.70≦(f2-f3) / f≦-3.00 is satisfied.

[0042] If the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray in a 0.6x field of view of the imaging optical lens and the object-side surface of the fifth lens is defined as H0.6r9, and the image height of the imaging optical lens in a 1.0 field of view is defined as IH, then the conditional expression 0.20≦H0.6r9 / IH≦0.30 is satisfied. By rationally controlling the ratio of the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray in a 0.6x field of view and the object-side surface of the fifth lens (i.e., the vertical distance to the optical axis) to the image height within the range of this conditional expression, light rays have rational refraction angles from the fourth lens to the fifth lens, which is advantageous for realizing a wide-angle imaging optical lens.

[0043] If the focal length of the first lens is defined as f1, the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray of the 0.6x field of view of the imaging optical lens with the object-side surface of the first lens as H0.6r1, and half the angle of view of the 1.0 field of view of the imaging optical lens as semi-FOV, the conditional expression 16.00≦f1 / H0.6r1×tan(semi-FOV)≦30.00 is satisfied. By rationally controlling the relationship between the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray of the 0.6x field of view with the object-side surface of the first lens (i.e., the vertical distance to the optical axis) of the intersection of the chief ray of the 0.6x field of view with the focal length of the first lens and the half angle of view within the range of this conditional expression, the object-side surface of the first lens has an appropriate curvature, which is advantageous for achieving a wide angle of view. Preferably, the conditional expression 19.00≦f1 / H0.6r1×tan(semi-FOV)≦25.50 is satisfied.

[0044] If we define the focal length of the imaging optical lens as f, the focal length of the seventh lens as f7, the axial thickness of the seventh lens as d13, and the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray of the 0.6x field of view of the imaging optical lens with the image-side surface of the seventh lens as H0.6r14, then the conditional expression -6.00≦(H0.6r14 / d13)×(f7 / f)≦-3.00 is satisfied. Rational control within the range of this conditional expression of the relationship between the radial height of the intersection of the chief ray of the 0.6x field of view with the image-side surface of the seventh lens, the axial thickness of the seventh lens, the focal length, and the overall focal length is advantageous in further increasing the angle of view of the last lens and improving image quality. Preferably, the conditional expression -5.30≦(H0.6r14 / d13)×(f7 / f)≦-3.70 is satisfied.

[0045] If the focal length of the sixth lens is defined as f6 and the focal length of the seventh lens is defined as f7, the conditional expression -1.80≦f6 / f7≦-0.90 is satisfied. Within the range of this conditional expression, the refractive powers of the sixth lens and the seventh lens can be adjusted, contributing to volume compression and aberration correction. Preferably, the conditional expression -1.55≦f6 / f7≦-1.10 is satisfied.

[0046] If the paraxial central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens is defined as R1 and the paraxial central radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the first lens is defined as R2, the conditional expression 0.21≦R1 / R2≦0.42 is satisfied. By controlling the ratio of the paraxial radii of curvature of the object-side surface and the image-side surface of the first lens within the range of this conditional expression, the surface shape of the first lens can be adjusted, which contributes to adjusting the traveling direction of light rays and forming a wide-angle arrangement. Preferably, the conditional expression 0.25≦R1 / R2≦0.35 is satisfied.

[0047] If the axial distance from the image-side surface of the second lens to the object-side surface of the third lens is defined as d4, the axial thickness of the third lens as d5, and the axial distance from the image-side surface of the third lens to the object-side surface of the fourth lens as d6, the conditional expression 0.30≦d5 / (d4+d6)≦0.55 is satisfied. Controlling the ratio of the axial thickness of the third lens to the sum of the air gaps before and after it within the range of this conditional expression is advantageous for adjusting the optical path length of light rays in the third lens, and enables the angle of view to be increased without affecting image quality. Preferably, the conditional expression 0.35≦d5 / (d4+d6)≦0.45 is satisfied.

[0048] If the central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the third lens at the paraxial direction is defined as R5 and the central radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the third lens at the paraxial direction is defined as R6, the conditional expression -3.45≦R5 / R6≦-0.20 is satisfied. Within the range of this conditional expression, the surface shape and refractive power of the third lens can be adjusted, contributing to aberration correction and compressed volume. Preferably, the conditional expression -2.85≦R5 / R6≦-0.20 is satisfied.

[0049] If the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f and the focal length of the fifth lens is defined as f5, the conditional expression -11.60≦f5 / f≦-3.00 is satisfied. By effectively and rationally allocating power within the range of this conditional expression, the design requirements for a wide-angle system are met. Preferably, the conditional expression -10.00≦f5 / f≦-3.50 is satisfied.

[0050] If the focal length of the imaging optical lens is defined as f and the focal length of the first lens as f1, the conditional expression 1.00≦f1 / f≦1.40 is satisfied. By effectively and rationally allocating power within the range of this conditional expression, the design requirements for a wide-angle system are met. Preferably, the conditional expression 1.05≦f1 / f≦1.25 is satisfied.

[0051] If the axial thickness of the first lens is defined as d1 and the optical length of the imaging optical lens is defined as TTL, the conditional expression 0.09≦d1 / TTL≦0.16 is satisfied. This conditional expression is advantageous for achieving an extremely thin lens. Preferably, the conditional expression 0.10≦d1 / TTL≦0.14 is satisfied.

[0052] Compared with the prior art, the imaging optical lens according to the present invention is arranged to satisfy the conditional expressions 5.00≦(f4−f5) / f≦12.00, 2.10≦(R3+R4) / f≦3.50, 20.00≦(R9+R10) / d9≦40.00, −9.00≦(f2−f3) / f≦−3.00, 0.20≦H0.6r9 / IH≦0.30, 16.00≦f1 / H0.6r1×tan(semi-FOV)≦30.00, −6.00≦(H0.6r14 / d13)×(f7 / f)≦−3.00, so that the imaging optical lens has good imaging quality and effectively reduces the sensitivity of the imaging optical lens.
