Description

本発明は、撮影面に銀塩フィルムを用いた写真カメラや、撮像素子としてCCDを用いたスチールカメラやビデオカメラなどに好適なレンズ鏡筒に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a lens barrel suitable for a photographic camera using a silver salt film on a photographing surface, a still camera using a CCD as an imaging device, a video camera, or the like.

従来から、ビデオカメラなどではレンズを保持した移動環を、レンズ鏡筒内においてフォーカスや変倍のために、光軸方向に直線状に移動させる種々のレンズ鏡筒が提案されている。   2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, various lens barrels have been proposed in which a moving ring holding a lens is moved linearly in the optical axis direction in a lens barrel for focusing and zooming in a video camera or the like.

例えば、レンズを保持した移動環は、ラック部を介してモータにより駆動されることがある。このとき、図5に示すように、ラック1のラック歯2は送りねじ3に噛み合っており、またラック歯2と対向して送りねじ3を挟み込む押さえ部が設けられている。   For example, the moving ring holding the lens may be driven by a motor via a rack portion. At this time, as shown in FIG. 5, the rack teeth 2 of the rack 1 are meshed with the feed screw 3, and a pressing portion for sandwiching the feed screw 3 is provided facing the rack tooth 2.

そして、送りねじ3をラック歯2に向けて、図示しないコイルスプリングにより押さえ部を送りねじ3に対してラジアル方向にがたなく付勢している。ラック1のラック歯2は送りねじ3と略同一の頂角とされ、押さえ部は或る所定の平面部又は頂角で送りねじ3の外径を付勢している。   Then, the feed screw 3 is directed toward the rack teeth 2, and the pressing portion is urged against the feed screw 3 in a radial direction by a coil spring (not shown). The rack teeth 2 of the rack 1 have substantially the same apex angle as that of the feed screw 3, and the pressing portion biases the outer diameter of the feed screw 3 at a certain predetermined flat portion or apex angle.

このように従来のレンズ鏡筒では、送りねじ3とラック1のラック歯2は略同一の頂角でがたなく噛合しているため、送りねじ3の斜面全体、又はねじ外形付近でねじが摺動することになる。結果としては摺動抵抗が大きく、省エネルギ、コンパクト、高速、低騒音化が進むビデオレンズなどにおいて、駆動アクチュエータの大型化、駆動騒音、消費電力増を余儀なくされている。   As described above, in the conventional lens barrel, the feed screw 3 and the rack tooth 2 of the rack 1 mesh with each other at substantially the same apex angle, so that the screw is formed on the entire slope of the feed screw 3 or in the vicinity of the screw outer shape. Will slide. As a result, in a video lens or the like that has high sliding resistance, energy saving, compactness, high speed, and low noise, driving actuators have to be enlarged, driving noise, and power consumption increased.

この解決策として、送りねじ3を小径にする方法もあるが、ピッチの粗いねじにおいては、ねじの谷径が細くなり過ぎて、加工中或いはその後の取り扱いによってねじの曲がりの問題が発生してしまう。また、噛合するねじの頂角を鈍角にする方法もあるが、内部衝撃或いは外部衝撃によるラック歯飛びの問題が発生するため、現実的な対策とは云えない。   As a solution to this, there is a method of reducing the diameter of the feed screw 3, but in the case of a screw having a coarse pitch, the thread root diameter becomes too thin, and the problem of bending of the screw occurs during or after processing. End up. Although there is a method in which the apex angle of the screw to be engaged is an obtuse angle, there is a problem of rack tooth skipping due to an internal impact or an external impact, which is not a realistic measure.

更に、特許文献1のようなねじ山頂における当接回避を目的としたねじ形状では、ねじ外形付近が鈍角になるため、同様にラック歯飛びの問題を解決することはできない。   Furthermore, in the screw shape for the purpose of avoiding contact at the top of the screw thread as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the vicinity of the screw outer shape becomes an obtuse angle, and thus the problem of rack tooth skipping cannot be solved similarly.

特開平8−248284号公報JP-A-8-248284

本発明に係るレンズ鏡筒によれば、駆動手段からの回動力を送りねじとラックを利用して、レンズを保持する移動環に伝達する際に、ねじの摺動抵抗を抑え、移動環を光軸方向に高精度に移動させることができる。   According to the lens barrel of the present invention, when the rotational force from the driving means is transmitted to the moving ring holding the lens using the feed screw and the rack, the sliding resistance of the screw is suppressed, and the moving ring is It can be moved with high accuracy in the optical axis direction.

本発明を図1〜図4に図示の実施例に基づいて詳細に説明する。
図1は駆動機構の斜視図、図2は断面図である。レンズ10を保持する移動環11のU溝ガイド部12に、棒状のU溝側ガイドバー13が嵌入されており、移動環11の一部に設けた軸受部14にガイドバー13と平行のスリーブ側ガイドバー15が嵌入され、移動環11は回動規制されると共に直線状に移動可能に支持されている。
The present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in FIGS.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the drive mechanism, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view. A rod-shaped U-groove side guide bar 13 is fitted in the U-groove guide portion 12 of the moving ring 11 that holds the lens 10, and a sleeve parallel to the guide bar 13 is mounted on a bearing portion 14 provided in a part of the moving ring 11. The side guide bar 15 is inserted, and the movable ring 11 is supported so as to be linearly movable while being restricted in rotation.

移動環11には、2つのフランジ部16a、16bが一体的に平行に成形されており、フランジ部16a、16bにはそれぞれ嵌入孔17a、17bがガイド部材としてのガイドバー13、15と平行方向に穿孔されている。なお、フランジ部16bのフランジ面の内側には傾斜面18が設けられている。 Two flange portions 16a and 16b are integrally formed in parallel with the moving ring 11, and insertion holes 17a and 17b are parallel to the guide bars 13 and 15 as guide members in the flange portions 16a and 16b, respectively. Has been perforated. An inclined surface 18 is provided inside the flange surface of the flange portion 16b.

嵌入孔17a、17bには、ラック歯19aを有するラック部材19がこのラック歯19aとは偏心した前後軸19b、19cを介して保持され、ラック部材19はフランジ16a、16bに対して光軸と直交方向に回動可能とされ、ラック部材19の前後軸19b、19c側には蓋部19dが形成されている。一方、駆動源であるステッピングモータ20の出力軸21に加工された送りねじ21aが、ラック部材19のラック歯19aに螺合している。 Insertion hole 17a, the 17b, the front and rear shaft 19b rack member 19 which is eccentric to the rack teeth 19a with the rack teeth 19a, is held via 19c, the rack member 19 is the optical axis with respect to the flange portion 16a, 16b And a lid 19d is formed on the front and rear shafts 19b, 19c side of the rack member 19. On the other hand, a feed screw 21 a machined on the output shaft 21 of the stepping motor 20 that is a drive source is screwed to the rack teeth 19 a of the rack member 19.

また、図3に示すように、ラック部材19には押さえ部19eが一体に設けられており、この押さえ部19eには略ねじ山形状とした凸部19fが設けられ、この凸部19fにより送りねじ21aをラック歯19a側に押圧している。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the rack member 19 is integrally provided with a pressing portion 19e, and the pressing portion 19e is provided with a convex portion 19f having a substantially thread shape, and is fed by the convex portion 19f. The screw 21a is pressed to the rack tooth 19a side.

また、ラック部材19とフランジ部16bとの間に、弾性部材としてのコイルスプリング22が挟み込まれ、その付勢力によりラック部材19と移動環11の光軸方向のがたが取り除かれている。このとき、コイルスプリング22のばね足22aがフランジ部16bの傾斜面18に当接するように、コイルスプリング22の付勢力が効率的にラック部材19に伝わるようになっている。そして、ラック部材19とコイルスプリング22とが一体的に回転する際には、傾斜面18に逆らう方向には重く、傾斜に順ずる方向には軽く回転することになる。   In addition, a coil spring 22 as an elastic member is sandwiched between the rack member 19 and the flange portion 16b, and the rattling in the optical axis direction of the rack member 19 and the moving ring 11 is removed by the biasing force. At this time, the urging force of the coil spring 22 is efficiently transmitted to the rack member 19 so that the spring foot 22a of the coil spring 22 contacts the inclined surface 18 of the flange portion 16b. When the rack member 19 and the coil spring 22 rotate integrally, the rack member 19 and the coil spring 22 rotate heavyly in the direction against the inclined surface 18 and lightly in the direction following the inclination.

ステッピングモータ20の駆動によりその出力軸21が回転すると、出力軸21の送りねじ21aと噛合しているラック歯19aが軸方向に移動し、それに伴って移動環11がガイドバー13、15に回転が規制されて軸方向に移動する。   When the output shaft 21 is rotated by driving the stepping motor 20, the rack teeth 19 a meshing with the feed screw 21 a of the output shaft 21 move in the axial direction, and accordingly the moving ring 11 rotates to the guide bars 13 and 15. Is regulated and moves in the axial direction.

図4に示すように、送りねじ21aのラック噛合部の頂角をθ1、送りねじ21aの歯飛び兼ラック歯元の逃げ部の頂角をθ2、ラック部材19のラック歯19aの頂角をθ3としたときの関係は、θ1>θ2≧θ3とされている。   As shown in FIG. 4, the apex angle of the rack meshing portion of the feed screw 21a is θ1, the apex angle of the tooth skipping / rack base portion of the feed screw 21a is θ2, and the apex angle of the rack teeth 19a of the rack member 19 is The relationship when θ3 is θ1> θ2 ≧ θ3.

これによりラック部材19のラック歯19aは、送りねじ21aの逃げ部の頂角θ2を避けた範囲、つまりねじ外形付近を避けたねじ谷径付近の頂角θ1により滑らかに摺動し、ステッピングモータ20の起動が容易となる。また、停止時の衝撃又は外部からの衝撃を受けた際には、送りねじ21aの逃げ部の頂角θ2によってラック部材19は歯飛びすることなく、送りねじ21aをラジアル方向に効率的に付勢することができる。なお、押さえ部19eの凸部19fは、ラック歯19aと同一形状とすることが好ましい。   As a result, the rack teeth 19a of the rack member 19 slide smoothly in the range avoiding the apex angle θ2 of the relief portion of the feed screw 21a, that is, the apex angle θ1 near the thread root diameter avoiding the vicinity of the screw outer shape, and the stepping motor 20 starts easily. Further, when an impact at the time of stopping or an impact from the outside is applied, the rack member 19 does not jump out due to the apex angle θ2 of the relief portion of the feed screw 21a, and the feed screw 21a is efficiently attached in the radial direction. You can In addition, it is preferable that the convex part 19f of the pressing part 19e has the same shape as the rack teeth 19a.

また、ラック部材19のラック歯19aと押さえ部19eの凸部19fは、送りねじ21aの逃げ部の頂角θ2を回避し、ラック噛合部の頂角θ1で摺動する形状であれば、例えばR形状等の形状であってもよい。   Further, if the rack teeth 19a of the rack member 19 and the protrusions 19f of the holding portion 19e have a shape that avoids the apex angle θ2 of the escape portion of the feed screw 21a and slides at the apex angle θ1 of the rack engagement portion, for example, It may be a shape such as an R shape.

このように、送りねじ21aのねじ形状は、回動力伝達部と歯飛び防止部の役割を分けた2つ以上の頂角で形成され、ステッピングモータ20によりラック部材19を介して移動環11を駆動させることができる。   In this way, the screw shape of the feed screw 21a is formed by two or more apex angles that separate the roles of the rotational force transmission portion and the tooth skip prevention portion, and the moving ring 11 is moved by the stepping motor 20 via the rack member 19. It can be driven.
