Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of optical lenses, and discloses a lens module. In the present disclosure, the lens module includes a lens barrel, a first lens disposed in the lens barrel, and a light shading member disposed in the lens barrel and abutting against the first lens. The first lens includes an optical portion for imaging and a supporting portion surrounding the optical portion. The supporting portion is recessed from an object side towards an image side to form a receiving portion. The light shading member is at least partially disposed in the receiving portion in a direction of an optical axis. The lens module according to the present disclosure can facilitate achieving a miniaturized design.

Claims (15)

1. A lens module, comprising:

a lens barrel;

a first lens disposed in the lens barrel; and

a light shading member disposed in the lens barrel and abutting against the first lens,

wherein the first lens comprises an optical portion for imaging and a supporting portion surrounding the optical portion, the supporting portion is recessed from an object side towards an image side to form a receiving portion, and the light shading member is at least partially disposed in the receiving portion in a direction of an optical axis,

wherein the optical portion comprises a first surface close to the object side, the supporting portion comprises a second surface extending from an edge of the first surface towards the image side in a direction facing away from the optical axis and a third surface extending from the second surface in a direction facing away from and perpendicular to the optical axis, the second surface and the third surface defining the receiving portion,

wherein the light shading member comprises an object side surface close to the object side, an image side surface close to the image side, an inner edge surface connecting the object side surface with the image side surface and defining a light-passing hole, and an outer edge surface connecting the object side surface with the image side surface and abutting against the lens barrel,

wherein the inner edge surface comprises a first side wall extending from an edge of the object side surface close to the optical axis towards the image side in a direction facing towards the optical axis, a second side wall extending from an edge of the first side wall close to the image side in the direction facing away from and perpendicular to the optical axis, and a third side wall extending from an edge of the second side wall facing away from the optical axis to the image side surface in the direction facing away from the optical axis, the third side wall being spaced apart from the second surface.

2. The lens module as described in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second lens disposed in the lens barrel, the second lens abutting against the object side surface.

3. The lens module as described in claim 2 , wherein the object side surface comprises a first planar surface abutting against the second lens, an inclined wall surface extending from the first planar surface towards the image side in the direction facing away from the optical axis, and a second planar surface extending from the inclined wall surface in the direction facing away from and perpendicular to the optical axis, the inclined wall surface and the second planar surface forming a first step.

4. The lens module as described in claim 3 , wherein the lens barrel comprises a first barrel wall abutting against a circumference of the second lens, a second barrel wall extending from an edge of the first barrel wall close to the image side towards the image side in the direction facing away from the optical axis, a third barrel wall extending from an edge of the second barrel wall facing away from the first barrel wall in the direction facing away from and perpendicular to the optical axis, and a fourth barrel wall extending from an edge of the third barrel wall facing away from the optical axis towards the image side along a direction of the optical axis, the fourth barrel wall abutting against the outer edge surface, and the second barrel wall and the third barrel wall forming a second step spaced apart from the first step.

5. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the image side surface abuts against the third surface.

6. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein the second surface is provided with an extinction area.

7. The lens module as described in claim 1 , wherein a groove is defined between the lens barrel and an edge of the supporting portion close to the image side, the groove being filled with glue.
