As described in the background art, in the multi-group lens of the conventional technology, after one dispensing, the thermosetting adhesive needs to be cured by a baking process, and the baking time is usually more than 30 minutes and even up to two hours, which easily causes abnormal quality of the lens. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a multi-group lens, and the multi-group lens of the embodiments of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 3, a schematic cross-sectional view of a multi-group lens 100 is illustrated, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the multi-group lens 100 includes a first lens 10 and a second lens 20 bonded by a glue 30, wherein the glue 30 is a glue capable of being cured by illumination, and the first lens 10 has a light-transmitting portion 112 for passing light and irradiating the glue 30, and a light-shielding portion 113 connected to the light-transmitting portion 112. In this way, as shown in fig. 4, after the glue 30 is disposed between the first lens 10 and the second lens 20, the glue 30 can be cured by illumination, so that a baking process is not required, and quality, yield, stability and production efficiency of the lens are ensured.
The glue 30 is used to support the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 after curing and to maintain the relative position between them in the relative position determined by active calibration. The glue 30 can be cured by light irradiation, and the specific type is not limited. For example, the glue 30 may be a UV glue which can be cured by irradiation of UV light, or for example, the glue 30 may be a glue 30 which is cured by light of other wavelength bands, such as a visible light curing glue which can be cured by irradiation of visible light.
The light-transmitting portion 112 may be capable of transmitting light, and has a certain light transmittance, that is, the light-transmitting portion 112 does not need to have 100% light transmittance. Preferably, the light transmitting portion 112 may be provided as a fully transparent portion, a translucent portion, or the like.
For convenience of understanding, in the embodiment of the present application, the multi-group lens 100 including the upper and lower lenses is described as an example, but it should be understood that the multi-group lens 100 of the present application is not limited to having only the upper and lower lenses, but may have more than two lenses. As long as one of the adjacent two lenses has the above-described light-transmitting portion 112.
As shown in fig. 3, the first lens 10 includes a barrel 110 and a first lens 120 disposed in the barrel 110. The lens barrel 110 has a hollow structure with two open ends, and has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, and a cavity is formed between the first end and the second end, wherein the light shielding portion 113 encloses the cavity, and the first lens 120 is installed in the cavity. Specifically, the first end is an object side end 101, and the second end is an image side end 102. In the embodiment of the invention, the object side refers to the side of the lens, which is close to the object in use. The image side refers to the side of the lens far away from the object and close to the imaging surface when in use. In the present embodiment, the number of the first lenses 120 is one, but it should be noted that the embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto, and the number of the first lenses 120 may be plural. The second lens 20 includes one or more second lenses 210, and the second lenses 210 and the first lenses 120 together form an imageable optical system.
The lens barrel 110 of the first lens 10 includes a light-transmitting portion 112, the light-transmitting portion 112 has a light-incident surface 1121 into which a predetermined light beam can enter, a light-emitting surface 1122, and the light-emitting surface 1122 is located at the image side end 102. As shown in fig. 3, the external light L enters the light entrance surface 1121 and then exits from the image side end 102. Since the glue 30 is located between the image side end 102 of the first lens 10 and the object side end 101 of the second lens 20, the external light can be irradiated on the glue 30 through the light-transmitting portion 112. When the glue 30 is specifically applied, the glue 30 may be applied on the light-emitting surface 1122, and then the first lens 10 is abutted against the second lens 20, or the glue 30 may be applied on the second lens 20 at a position corresponding to the light-emitting surface 1122, and then the first lens 10 is abutted against the second lens 20.
In the multi-group lens 100, after the glue 30 is disposed between the first lens 10 and the second lens 20, the glue 30 can be cured by illumination, so that a long-time baking process is not required, the curing time of the glue 30 can be shortened to 40-60 seconds, and the quality yield stability and the production efficiency of the lens are ensured.
The specific position of the light incident surface 1121 is not limited, and light may be incident on and emitted to the light emitting surface 1122. In an example, the light incident surface 1121 is located at the object side end 101 of the lens barrel 110, and the light incident surface 1121 is parallel to the light emitting surface 1122 and perpendicular to the axis X of the lens barrel 110. At this time, the optical path between the light incident surface 1121 and the light emergent surface 1122 is parallel to the axis X of the lens barrel 110. Thus, the light can be emitted perpendicular to the light emitting surface 1122 and emitted to the glue 30, and the light emitted to the glue 30 can be larger, which is beneficial to shortening the curing time of the glue 30.
It can be understood that the light incident surface 1121 may also be disposed at a position between the object side end 101 and the image side end 102 of the lens barrel 110. Specifically, the lens barrel 110 includes a sidewall 103 connecting the first end and the second end, and the light incident surface 1121 is disposed on the sidewall 103. For example, the lens barrel 110 is generally cylindrical, and the light incident surface 1121 may be formed on a cylindrical side surface of the lens barrel 110, where an optical path between the light incident surface 1121 and the light emergent surface 1122 forms an acute angle with an axis of the lens barrel 110.
The light incident surface 1121 may be formed at the object side end 101 of the lens barrel 110. Namely, the light incident surface 1121 and the light emergent surface 1122 are located at the same end of the lens barrel 10. The light incident from the light incident surface 1121 may be refracted and then emitted from the light emitting surface 1122.
Further, in the above-mentioned modes of setting the different positions of the light incident surface 1121, the light incident surface 1121 is a rotation surface formed by rotating a line segment around the axis of the lens barrel 110. The light incident surface 1121 may be provided at various angles. In a specific arrangement, the included angle between the light incident surface 1121, i.e. the generatrix of the rotation surface, and the axis X of the lens barrel 110 may be in the range of 0-90 degrees. More specifically, as shown in fig. 3, when the included angle between the generatrix M of the light incident surface 1121 and the axis of the lens barrel 110 is 0 degrees, the generatrix M of the light incident surface 1121 is parallel to the axis of the lens barrel 110, and the light incident surface 1121 extends along the axis of the lens barrel 110. As shown in fig. 5, when the included angle between the generatrix of the light incident surface 1121 and the axis of the lens barrel 110 is 90 degrees, the light incident surface 1121 extends in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the lens barrel 110, and the light incident surface 1121 is disposed at the object side end 101.
In addition, the light incident surface 1121 may be disposed at the same time at the object side end 101 of the lens barrel 110 and at a position between the object side end 101 and the image side end 102 of the lens barrel 110. Thus, the accuracy of the light source position is required to be relatively low in illumination, but the illumination on the glue 30 can be ensured.
The light incident surface 1121 is not limited to a surface of revolution, and may be an irregular surface or a part of a surface of revolution.
In an embodiment, the lens barrel 110 further includes a light shielding portion 113 fixedly connected to the light transmitting portion 112, and the light transmitting portion 112 and the light shielding portion 113 are nested. The light shielding part 113 does not allow light to pass through, can shield light during imaging of the lens, and ensures imaging effect, so that the lens barrel 110 does not need to be assembled with a light shielding element. The light shielding portion 113 is specifically a black light shielding portion 113. The black shading effect is good, and the black is the common color of the lens barrel in the lens, which accords with the aesthetic of users. The nesting arrangement includes both the case where the light-transmitting portion 112 and the light-shielding portion 113 are integrally molded or separately molded.
Further, the light-transmitting portion 112 surrounds the light-shielding portion 113 and completely covers the outer circumferential surface of the light-shielding portion 113. As shown in fig. 3, the light-transmitting portion 112 surrounds the light-shielding portion 113 for one circle, which means that the light-transmitting portion 112 is sleeved outside the light-shielding portion 113, so that the light-transmitting portion 112 forms an outer ring of the lens barrel 110 and the light-shielding portion 113 forms an inner ring of the lens barrel 110. The glue 30 is disposed between the outer ring of the lens barrel 110 and the second lens 20 near the edge, so that the glue 30 is more convenient to apply. Meanwhile, the light shielding portion 113 is an inner ring of the lens barrel 110, and has a good effect of shielding light during imaging of the lens.
In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, the light-transmitting portion 112 surrounds the light-shielding portion 113, but only covers a part of the outer circumferential surface of the light-shielding portion 113. Specifically, along the axis of the lens barrel 110, the light shielding portion 113 includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion, the outer diameter of the large diameter portion being larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter portion, so that the outer circumferential surface of the light shielding portion 113 is stepped, and the light transmitting portion 112 is coated on the small diameter portion of the light shielding portion 113. Thus, the outer circumferential surface of the light transmitting portion 112 and the outer circumferential surface of the large diameter portion of the light shielding portion 113 together form the side wall 103 of the lens barrel 110. At this time, the light-transmitting portion 112 is only disposed at the image side end 102, and the light-transmitting portion 112 does not extend to the object side end 101. At this time, the light incident surface 1121 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the light transmitting portion 112.
Further, the light shielding portion 113 is a hard member made of a hard material, and the light transmitting portion 112 is a hard member made of a soft material. The outer ring of the lens barrel 110 is made of flexible materials, the hand feeling is good, and the inner ring of the lens barrel 110 is made of hard materials, so that the first lens 120 can be well supported. In an example, the light shielding portion 113 is black hard plastic, and the light transmitting portion 112 is transparent silica gel.
The manner in which the lens barrel 110 forms the light-transmitting portion 112 and the light-shielding portion 113 is not limited. In a preferred embodiment, the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 are an integral piece formed by a two-color injection molding process. That is, the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 are simultaneously formed by a two-shot molding process. The double-shot molding process is a molding process in which two different materials are injected into the same set of mold, so that the injection molded part is formed by the two materials. The two different materials here are mainly referred to as different colors. In one example, the light shielding portion 113 is a black opaque material, and the light transmitting portion 112 is a colorless transparent material. The two different materials here also include the case where the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 are different in color and different in material. In an example, the light shielding portion 113 is black hard plastic, and the light transmitting portion 112 is transparent silica gel.
In the multi-group lens 100, the lens of the first lens 10 adopts a bi-color injection molding process to form the light-transmitting portion 112, which allows light to transmit, so that the glue 30 cured by illumination can be used, long-time baking is avoided, and the quality of the lens is ensured.
In another embodiment, the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 may be formed as a single piece by assembly. That is, the light transmitting portion 112 and the light shielding portion 113 are separate two portions, and are assembled together to form the complete lens barrel 110, wherein the light transmitting portion 112 is sleeved outside the light shielding portion 113, and interference fit is achieved between the light transmitting portion and the light shielding portion.
Further, when the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 may be formed as a single piece by assembling, the light shielding portion 113 may be made of a hard material, the light transmitting portion 112 may be made of a flexible material, and the light transmitting portion 112 may be detachably sleeved outside the light shielding portion 113. The light-transmitting portion 112 is flexible, so that it can be conveniently sleeved outside the light-shielding portion 113, and assembly is convenient. In addition, the outer ring of the lens barrel 110 is made of flexible materials, and has good hand feeling.
In another embodiment, the light shielding portion 113 and the light transmitting portion 112 may be formed as a single piece by assembly. That is, the light transmitting portion 112 and the light shielding portion 113 are separate two portions, which are assembled together to form the complete lens barrel 110, wherein the light transmitting portion 112 is gap-sleeved outside the light shielding portion 113 with a filler such as an adhesive therebetween.
In still another aspect, the light-transmitting portion 112 is embedded within the light-shielding portion 113. When the lens barrel 110 is manufactured by a bicolor injection molding process, the annular light-transmitting part 112 is formed, the light-shielding part 113 is formed inside and outside the inner ring of the annular light-transmitting part 112, and the light-shielding part 113 in the inner ring of the light-transmitting part 112 forms a cavity of the lens barrel 110. Preferably, the glue 30 is arranged in a closed loop shape, and secondary dispensing is not required. Here, the closed ring shape means that the glue 30 is continuously disposed along a circumferential direction around the axis of the lens barrel 110 to form an end-to-end closed structure. The circumferential direction around the axis of the lens barrel 110 is defined as the circumferential direction of the glue 30. The specific arrangement of the closed loop is not limited, and may be, for example, a circular loop as shown in fig. 4, and is continuously arranged along the circumferential direction of the glue 30. The closed ring may be square ring or any polygonal ring.
In the traditional technology, an air hole needs to be reserved when primary dispensing is baked and solidified, so that secondary dispensing is needed. In the embodiment of the present invention, the glue 30 is cured by adopting an illumination mode, so as shown in fig. 4, the glue 30 can be coated in a closed ring shape, so that no air vent is required to be arranged, and accordingly, secondary dispensing for the air vent is also not required. Because secondary dispensing is not needed, the working procedures are saved, and the production efficiency is improved.
Further, the glue 30 is uniformly applied in the circumferential direction thereof. For example, the glue 30 is in a ring shape, and because the glue 30 is uniformly coated without ventilation holes, the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 are uniformly stressed in the circumferential direction, so that the relative position offset of the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 is avoided, and the relative position accuracy of the first lens and the second lens is ensured.
In addition, in the embodiment of the invention, the glue 30 is cured by adopting an illumination mode, so that the fault tolerance rate of the glue dispensing mode when the glue 30 is coated is high. Specifically, even if the glue 30 is accidentally coated with air escape holes. After the glue 30 is cured by adopting the illumination mode, glue can be supplemented by adopting a secondary glue dispensing mode, such as glue supplementing by utilizing thermosetting glue or UV glue. However, because the glue supplementing amount is small, even if the baking technology is adopted to solidify the glue supplementing, the influence on the quality of the lens is relatively low.
As shown in fig. 6, in a multi-group lens 100' according to another embodiment of the present invention, a first lens 10' and a second lens 20' are bonded by a glue 30', wherein the glue 30' is a glue that can be cured by light.
In the present embodiment, the second lens 20 'includes a second lens 210', a lens barrel 220', and the lens barrel 220' has a light-transmitting portion 221 'for passing light and irradiating the glue 30'. The lens barrel 220 has a hollow structure with two open ends, and has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is an object side end close to the first lens 10'.
The light transmitting portion 221' is disposed at a side of the lens barrel 220' near the first lens 10 '. The light entrance surface 2211' of the light transmitting portion 221' is disposed between the object side end and the image side end of the lens barrel 220 '. The object side end of the lens barrel 220 'is an end close to the image side end 102 of the first lens 10'. The included angle between the generatrix M of the light incident surface 2211 'and the axis X of the lens barrel 220' is an acute angle. The light L entering from the light entrance surface 2211' can be emitted from the object side end of the lens barrel 220' and irradiated to the glue 30'. The light-emitting surface 2212' of the light-transmitting portion 221' is disposed at a first end, i.e., an object side end, of the first lens 10 '.
The second lens 20' further includes a light shielding portion 222' connected to the light transmitting portion 221', wherein the light transmitting portion 221' covers a portion of the outer circumferential surface of the light shielding portion 222', similar to the embodiment shown in fig. 5. Of course, in other embodiments, the light-transmitting portion 221' of the second lens 20' covers the entire outer circumference of the light-shielding portion 222', that is, the light-transmitting portion 221' of the second lens 20' may be disposed in the same manner as the light-transmitting portion 112 of the first lens 10 in the embodiment shown in fig. 3.
Further, in the present embodiment, the light transmitting portion 221 'and the light shielding portion 222' may be formed as a single piece by a two-shot molding process, or may be formed as a single piece by an assembling method.
Further, the structure of the first lens 10' may be exactly the same as that of the first lens 10 on the basis of providing the light transmitting portion 221' on the second lens 20 '. That is, at this time, the first lens 10 'and the second lens 20' are respectively provided with light transmitting portions. When the glue 30' is cured, the selection of the injection direction of the light rays L is more and more flexible.
An embodiment of the present invention also proposes a lens barrel 110, which is a lens barrel 110 of the first lens 10 or a lens barrel 220' of the second lens 20' of the multi-group lenses 100 or 100' in the foregoing embodiments. The lens described above may be used to assemble and form the first lens 10 or the second lens 20' in the foregoing embodiments, and further used to assemble and form a multi-group lens. The lens barrel is provided with the light-transmitting part, when a plurality of groups of lenses are formed, the glue can be cured through illumination without a long-time baking process, and the curing time of the glue 30 can be shortened to 40-60 seconds, so that the quality yield stability and the production efficiency of the lenses are ensured.
An embodiment of the present invention also provides a lens, which is the first lens 10 or the second lens 20' in the multi-group lens 100 in the foregoing embodiment. The lens and other lenses form a multi-group lens, and when the multi-group lens is formed, the glue can be cured through illumination without a long-time baking process.
An embodiment of the invention further provides an image capturing module, which includes the multi-group lens 100 or the multi-group lens 100' of the foregoing embodiments. Taking the manufacturing of the multi-group lens 100 as an example, since the lens barrel 110 of the first lens 10 includes the light-transmitting portion 112 that allows the predetermined light to pass through and irradiate the glue 30, after the glue 30 is disposed between the first lens 10 and the second lens 20, the glue 30 can be cured by illumination, so that a long-time baking process is not required, the curing time of the glue 30 can be shortened to 40 seconds to 60 seconds, and the quality and yield stability of the lens are better.
When the multi-group lens 100 is used to manufacture an image capturing module, at least one lens component is first connected to a motor, and the other lens components are then attached and actively aligned with the photosensitive assembly. For example, the second lens 20 of the multi-group lens 100 is first connected to the motor, then the first lens 10 is mounted on the second lens 20 that is already fixedly connected to the motor, and the glue 30 between the first lens 10 and the second lens 20 is cured by illumination. For example, for a threaded motor, the second lens 20 component may be threaded into the motor, and after set high, a UV glue spot is used between the lens and the motor carrier, thereby dispensing and securing between the second lens 20 and the motor carrier. For a screw-less motor, the second lens 20 and the motor carrier can be connected by glue 30. It should be understood that the manner of connection between the second lens 20 and the motor carrier is not limited thereto. The manner of manufacturing the multi-group lens 100' is similar and will not be described in detail.
The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined, and all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described for brevity of description, however, as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features, they should be considered as the scope of the description.
The foregoing examples illustrate only a few embodiments of the invention, which are described in detail and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that several variations and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention, which are all within the scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of protection of the present invention is to be determined by the appended claims.
