US Patent 11863854 Lens device capable of operation of multi-magnifications, optical zoom in high magnification, and miniaturization of the lens module thereof

A lens device includes a first lens module, an image sensor and a first light path turning module. The first lens module includes plurality of lenses. The first light path turning module is configured to transmit a light beam passing through the first lens module to the image sensor by exactly three or four reflections. The first light path turning module includes three or four reflecting surfaces on which the reflections occur. All the reflecting surfaces are plane surfaces. The first light path turning module includes no free form surface. All the surfaces on which the light beam is reflected are plane surfaces, wherein the plane surfaces are flat and are different from freeform surfaces.
