[0020] The utility model provides a kind of imaging lens 100, the imaging lens 100 has opposite setting along optical axis direction object side and image side, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the imaging lens 100 includes: lens barrel 1 and the multiple lenses 2 received in the lens barrel 1.

[0021] The lens barrel 1 includes annular barrel wall 11 and extension wall 12 formed by bending and extending from one end of the barrel wall 11 close to the object side, and the extension wall 12 surrounds the light hole 13. The barrel wall 11 extends irregularly in the direction from the object side to the image side, and the size gradually increases.

[0022] The lens 2 at least includes first lens 21 and second lens 22 arranged in sequence from object side to image side, the outer diameter of the second lens 22 is at least 1.1 times or more than the outer diameter of the first lens 21, preferably between 1.1 times and 1.3 times. In some application scenarios, for example, in a mobile phone, the outer diameter of the second lens 22 is at least 0.5 mm larger than the outer diameter of the first lens 21. Due to the large size difference between the first lens 21 and the second lens 22, it is easy to deform during assembly, the first lens 21 is fixedly connected with the lens barrel 1 by the first fixing glue 31, that is, the small lens close to the object side in the two adjacent lenses with large size difference, that is, the first lens 21 is fixed by adhesive bonding, which can effectively improve the problem of lens deformation in the assembly process.
