The present disclosure relates to a technical filed of cameras, in particular to a wide-angle lens.
With development of automatic driving functions, a wide-angle lens such as a vehicle-mounted lens, which serves as a key component of automatic driving assistant system, has developed rapidly, and requirements for the wide-angle lens also become higher.
Compared with an ordinary optical lens, the vehicle-mounted lens in the automatic driving assistant system has special requirements. For example, the vehicle-mounted lens requires a front port diameter to be as small as possible, a strong light transmission capability, and requires the vehicle-mounted lens to be able to adapt to light and darkness changes of an external environment, and accordingly has a high imaging clarity, such that the vehicle-mounted lens is able to effectively distinguish details of the external environment (such as highway signs, distant pedestrians and vehicles, etc.). Additionally, thermal stability of the vehicle-mounted lens should be nice, so that the vehicle-mounted lens has a good resolution at both high and low temperatures. Then the special requirements of automatic driving are satisfied.
However, most existing vehicle-mounted lenses are sensitive to changes of temperature, which is difficult to be used in a high-temperature environment or a low-temperature environment. In addition, the resolution of the existing vehicle-mounted lens in the high-temperature environment or the low-temperature environment is low, and is difficult to eliminate chromatic aberrations, resulting in blurred imaging, which is not conducive to practical applications.
Based on this, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a wide-angle lens with high resolution in high and low temperature environments.
The present disclosure provides a wide-angle lens. From an object side to an imaging surface, the wide-angle lens sequentially includes: a first lens group having a negative focal power, a second lens group having a positive focal power, and an aperture stop disposed between the first lens group and the second lens group. The first lens group, from the object side to the imaging surface, sequentially includes a meniscus-shaped first lens having a negative focal power, a second lens having a negative focal power, and a third lens having a positive focal power. A concave surface of the first lens faces the imaging surface, and a concave surface of the second lens faces the imaging surface. The second lens group, from the object side to the imaging surface, sequentially includes a fourth lens having a positive focal power, a fifth lens having a positive focal power, a sixth lens having a negative focal power, and a seventh lens having a positive focal power. The fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the seventh lens are biconvex lenses, and the sixth lens is a biconcave lens. The fifth lens and the sixth lens are cemented a cemented lens. The first lens, the third lens, the fourth lens, the fifth lens, and the sixth lens are all glass spherical lenses. The second lens and the seventh lens are glass aspherical lenses, and optical center bits of the lenses in the first lens group and the second lens group are located on a same straight line.
Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure provides the wide-angle lens, making the fifth lens and the sixth lens to cement the cemented lens. The combined wide-angle lens is clearly imaged in a temperature ranges from −40° C. to +85° C. through adopting a combined structure of five glass spherical lenses and two glass aspherical lenses and reasonable focal power matching, therefore, wide-angle characteristic is satisfied, and the high resolution is kept in both high and low temperature environments.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −0.85<φ2/y7<−0.6, wherein φ2 represents a refractive power of the second lens, and ω7 represents a refractive power of the seventh lens. The expression indicates that spherical aberration formed by the second lens and the seventh lens cancel each other, which is able to effectively improve an analysis force of the wide-angle lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −5.5(dN/dT)5+(dN/dT)6<−4.5, wherein (dN/dT)5 represents a temperature coefficient of refractive index of the fifth lens, and (dN/dT)6 represents a temperature coefficient of refractive index of the sixth lens. The expression indicates that the fifth lens and the sixth lens effectively compensate influences of temperature changes on a focal length of the wide-angle lens, which further improves stability of the analysis force of the wide-angle lens at different temperatures.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −15.5<(dN/dT)2+(dN/dT)7<−8.0, wherein (dN/dT)2 represents a temperature coefficient of refractive index of the second lens, and (dN/dT), represents a temperature coefficient of refractive index of the seventh lens. When this expression is satisfied, sensitivity of the wide-angle lens to the temperature is effectively reduced, and the stability of the analysis force of the wide-angle lens at different temperatures is further improved.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −0.45<φ5/φ6<−0.2, wherein φ5 represents a refractive power of the fifth lens, and φ6 represents a refractive power of the sixth lens. When this expression is satisfied, color difference of the wide-angle lens can be effectively corrected, and the analysis force of the wide-angle lens is further improved.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −0.63<φII/φ<−0.42, wherein φII represents a combined refractive power of the second lens group, and φ represents a refractive power of the wide-angle lens. When this expression is satisfied, astigmatism of the wide-angle lens can be effectively corrected, and the analysis force of the wide-angle lens is further improved.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: 0.95<|IH/(f*θ)|<1, wherein θ represents a maximum half-field angle of the wide-angle lens (representing as radians), IH represents an image height of the wide-angle lens when the half field angle is θ, and f represents an effective focal length of the wide-angle lens. This expression indicates radio of an actual image height of the wide-angle lens to an ideal image height of the wide-angle lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expressions: D1>D2>D3, where D1 represents the maximum diameter of the first lens, D2 represents the maximum diameter of the second lens, D3 represents the maximum diameter of the third lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: 1<T5/T7<2, wherein T5 represents the thickness of the fifth lens, T7 represents the thickness of the seventh lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle: lens satisfies the following expressions: d12>d34>d67, wherein d12 represents the distance between the first lens and the second lens on the optical axis, d34 represents the distance between the third lens and the fourth lens on the optical axis, d67 represents the distance between the sixth lens and the seventh lens on the optical axis.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: −8<R9/R10<−2, wherein R9 represents a radius of curvature of an object side surface of the fourth lens, R10 represents a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the fourth lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: 0,3<R3/R5<1, wherein R3 represents a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the first lens, R5 represents a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the second lens.
Furthermore, the wide-angle lens satisfies the following expression: 3<R2/R3<5, wherein R2 represents a radius of curvature of an object side surface of the first lens, R3 represents a radius of curvature of an image side surface of the first lens.
