However, the technical solutions to be protected by the present invention can be realized without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0029] 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 diaphragm S1, 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.

[0030] 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 serves to reduce chromatic aberration and improve the performance of the optical imaging lens. Each lens may also be made of other materials.

[0031] The first lens has positive refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is concave on the paraxial line; the second lens has negative refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is concave on the paraxial line; the third lens has negative refractive power, and its object side surface is concave on the paraxial line and its image side surface is concave on the paraxial line; the fourth lens has positive refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is convex on the paraxial line; the fifth lens has negative refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is concave on the paraxial line; the sixth lens has positive refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is convex on the paraxial line; and the seventh lens has negative refractive power, and its object side surface is convex on the paraxial line and its image side surface is concave on the paraxial line. The object-side and image-side surfaces of each lens may be arranged in other concave-convex distributions.

[0033] If the axial distance from the image side surface of the seventh lens to the image plane is defined as BF, and the optical length of the imaging optical lens is defined as TTL, then the conditional expression 0.16≦BF / TTL≦0.25 is satisfied, and by rationally setting the back focus ratio of the optical system, the overall length of the optical system can be shortened, thereby achieving a compact design. This is advantageous for rationally controlling the angle of incidence of the chief ray from the outermost field of view to the image plane, and for avoiding a decrease in relative illuminance due to an excessively large angle of incidence of the chief ray from the outermost field of view, which is advantageous for improving the imaging quality of the optical system.

[0034] Defining the focal length of the sixth lens element as f6, the focal length of the seventh lens element as f7, the central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the sixth lens element at the paraxial axis as R11, and the central radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the seventh lens element at the paraxial axis as R13, the conditional expression 2.10≦f6 / R11−f7 / R13≦2.90 is satisfied. Rational control of the relationship between the focal lengths of the sixth and seventh lenses and the radii of curvature of their object-side surfaces at the paraxial axis is advantageous for rational design of the angle of incidence of light rays on the object-side surfaces of the sixth and seventh lenses, and is advantageous for achieving extremely thin lenses.

[0035] If we define the axial thickness of the first lens as d1, the axial distance between the first and second lens as d2, and the axial thickness of the second lens as d3, then the conditional expression 3.50≦(d1+d3) / d2≦9.00 is satisfied. Within this range, good optical characteristics are obtained, and it is easy to achieve a wide angle and an extremely thin design.

By rationally controlling the ratio of the thicknesses of the first lens and the seventh lens in the direction parallel to the optical axis at a radius of 1.5 mm, it is advantageous to improve the workability of the lenses and to realize extremely thin lenses. Preferably, the conditional formula 1.00≦d1 1.5 / d13 1.5 Satisfies ≦1.50.

By rationally controlling the relationship between the thicknesses of the second to sixth lenses in the direction parallel to the optical axis at a radius of 1.5 mm, it is advantageous for correcting aberrations and shortening the optical length. Preferably, the conditional formula 1.20≦(d3 1.5 +d5 1.5 +d7 1.5 ) / (d9 1.5 +d11 1.5 )≦1.55.

By rationally controlling the ratio of the thickness of the seventh lens element along the direction parallel to the optical axis at a radius of 1.5 mm to the central thickness, it is advantageous to improve the workability of the lens element and to improve the manufacturing yield. Preferably, the conditional formula 1.25≦d13 1.5 / d13≦1.80 is satisfied.

[0039] If the focal length of the third lens is defined as f3, the focal length of the fourth lens as f4, the axial thickness of the third lens as d5, and the axial thickness of the fourth lens as d7, then the conditional expression -120.00≦f3 / d5+f4 / d7≦-50.00 is satisfied. Rational control of the ratio between the axial thickness and focal length of the third and fourth lenses realizes a wider angle of view and is advantageous in improving the processing yield of the third and fourth lenses. Preferably, the conditional expression -105.00≦f3 / d5+f4 / d7≦-60.00 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 and the central radius of curvature of the image-side surface of the fifth lens at the paraxial direction is defined as R10, the conditional expression 3.10≦(R9+R10) / (R9-R10)≦8.50 is satisfied. Within this range, the surface shape of the fifth lens can be adjusted to control the direction of travel of light rays, which contributes to achieving a balance between the field of view, volume, and size of the imaging surface. Preferably, the conditional expression 3.80≦(R9+R10) / (R9-R10)≦7.00 is satisfied.

[0041] If the sum of the on-axis thicknesses of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh lenses is defined as Σd and the optical length of the imaging optical lens is defined as TTL, the conditional expression 0.30≦Σd / TTL≦0.65 is satisfied. By rationally controlling the ratio between the sum of the on-axis thicknesses of each lens and the optical length, an extremely thin lens is achieved. Preferably, the conditional expression 0.38≦Σd / TTL≦0.58 is satisfied.
