DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(10) In order to further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

(11) Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, a basic embodiment of the present invention discloses a large-aperture optical lens with three lens pieces. The optical lens comprises a diaphragm 10, a first lens piece 20 having positive focal power, a second lens piece 30 having negative focal power, and a third lens piece 40 having positive focal power, which are arranged in sequence in a light incidence direction. Two surfaces of the first lens piece 20 are an S1 surface 21 and an S2 surface 22, respectively. Two surfaces of the second lens piece 30 are an S3 surface 31 and an S4 surface 32, respectively. Two surfaces of the third lens piece 40 are an S5 surface 41 and an S6 surface 42, respectively. The S1 surface 21, the S2 surface 22, the S3 surface 31, the S4 surface 32, the S5 surface 41 and the S6 surface 42 are arranged in sequence in the light incidence direction. An S7 surface 50 is provided on a side of the S6 surface 42 away from the S5 surface 41, wherein the S7 surface 50 is an image surface, that is, the S7 surface 50 is located at an image focus of the entire optical lens. A lens frame 60 is provided at the S6 surface 42 or between the S6 surface 42 and the S7 surface 50, that is, the lens frame 60 is provided at the S6 surface 42, or between the S6 surface 42 and the S7 surface 50. The lens frame 60 is a vignetting diaphragm. The S1 surface 21, the S2 surface 22 and the S5 surface 41 are all convex surfaces, and the S3 surface 31 is a concave surface.

(12) A distance between the aperture 10 and an object focus of the entire optical lens is |ST−F.sub.obj|; ST represents a distance between the diaphragm 10 and the center of the entire optical lens; F.sub.obj represents a distance between the object focus of the entire optical lens and the center of the entire optical lens; an equivalent focal length of the entire optical lens is f.sub.0. In practical applications, the object focus of the entire optical lens may be located inside the first lens piece 20, so the diaphragm 10 is provided near the object focus of the entire optical lens, that is, the following formula is satisfied: |ST−F.sub.obj|<0.5f.sub.0.

(13) The calibers of the S1 surface 21 to the S7 surface 50 sequentially decrease progressively, that is, the caliber of the entire optical lens gradually decreases from the object side to the image side, d.sub.i>d.sub.j, wherein d is a caliber; i<j, in which i is an integer from 1 to 5, j is an integer from 2 to 7; d is the magnitude of the caliber; a curvature radius of the S3 surface 31 is r.sub.3, and a curvature radius of the S4 surface 32 is r.sub.4, |r.sub.3|<|r.sub.4|; an curvature radius of the S5 surface 41 is r.sub.5, and a curvature radius of the S6 surface 42 is r.sub.6, |r.sub.5|<|r.sub.6|; and an equivalent focal length of the first lens piece 20 is greater than an equivalent focal length of the third lens piece 40, that is f.sub.1>f.sub.3.

(14) A center distance between the first lens piece 20 and the second lens piece 30 is G.sub.12, and a center distance between the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 is G.sub.23, G.sub.12<G.sub.23; a back focal length of the entire optical lens is greater than 5 mm, that is, a distance between the S6 surface 42 and the S7 surface 50 is greater than 5 mm; and a numerical aperture of the entire optical lens is greater than 0.6.

(15) When in operation, light reaches the S1 surface 21, the S2 surface 22, the S3 surface 31, the S4 surface 32, the S5 surface 41, the S6 surface 42 and the S7 surface 50 in sequence. The optical lens of the present invention can significantly improve the chromatic dispersion performance of a headlight of a vehicle, and reduce the sensitivity of the lens pieces to the axial tolerance during the assembly, thereby achieving a high error tolerance rate during the assembly, and low assembly difficulty.

(16) Based on a classic Cooke three-piece type lens system, as shown in FIG. 1, in a general three-piece type lens or a variant thereof, a diaphragm is usually placed at a middle lens piece, which can reduce or correct common aberrations, such as field curvature, astigmatism, and chromatic aberration, through structural symmetry. However, the use of this structure will result in a smaller numerical aperture on the one hand, and on the other hand, will also result in a large incident angle of main light at the image plane with a large field of view. The luminous intensity of an ordinary light source satisfies the Lambert's cosine law, i.e., reaches the maximum at a 0 degree position, attenuates to 0.5 at a 60 degree position, and is 0 at a 90 degree position, which means that the lens system gets lower energy for the same solid angle.

(17) According to the optical lens of the present invention, the diaphragm 10 is arranged at the object focus of the optical lens, so as to form an image-side telecentric optical path, so that the main light in each field of view is parallel. That is, the incident angle of the main light in each field of view at the image plane, that is, at the S7 surface 50 is 0, which means that the energy utilization rate of the present invention is higher for the same solid angle.

(18) In this embodiment, a back focal length of the entire optical lens is greater than 5 mm, that is, a distance between the S6 surface 42 and the S7 surface 50 is greater than 5 mm. The S4 surface 32 is a concave surface, that is, the second lens piece 30 is a biconcave lens piece; the S6 surface 42 is a convex surface, that is, the third lens piece 40 is a biconvex lens; the S1 surface 21, the S2 surface 22, the S3 surface 31, the S4 surface 32, the S5 surface 41 and the S6 surface 42 are spherical surfaces or aspherical surfaces; the S1 surface 21 to the S6 surface 42 may all be spherical surfaces, or the S1 surface 21 to the S6 surface 42 may all be aspherical surfaces, or the S1 surface 21 to the S6 surface 42 may include a spherical surface and an aspheric surface.

(19) In this embodiment, the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 are single lens pieces or cemented lens pieces, that is, the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 may all be single lens pieces, or the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 are all cemented lens pieces; or the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 include a single lens piece and a cemented lens piece. The cemented lens piece is also referred to as an achromatic lens, which is formed by cementing two single lens pieces, and has a multicolor imaging performance much higher than that of a single lens piece.

(20) In this embodiment, the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 are glass lens pieces or plastic lens pieces, that is, the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 may all be glass lens pieces, or the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 are all plastic lens pieces; or the first lens piece 20, the second lens piece 30 and the third lens piece 40 include a glass lens piece and a plastic lens piece.

(21) In this embodiment, an Abbe number of an optical material used by the first lens piece 20 is Vd.sub.1; an Abbe number of an optical material used in the second lens piece 30 is Vd.sub.2; and an Abbe number of an optical material used by the third lens piece 40 is Vd.sub.3, Vd.sub.1−Vd.sub.2>25, Vd.sub.3−Vd.sub.2>25.
