Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vibration isolation mechanism for a microphone suitable for use in, for example, a tape recorder or a cine camera equipped with a simultaneous recording mechanism.

Recently, cine cameras equipped with a so-called simultaneous recording mechanism that can record audio at the same time as taking pictures have become popular. Such a cine camera is configured such that a microphone is attached to the tip of a retractable support member shaped like a rod antenna that extends from the camera body, and audio can be recorded using the microphone in synchronization with the operation of the cine camera. It is something that can be done.

By the way, if the microphone is simply attached to the tip of the support member extending from the camera body as described above, mechanical vibrations caused by the rotation of the motor built into the cine camera body will be transmitted through the support member when the cine camera is operated. transmitted to the microphone,
There is a problem that the S/N ratio is deteriorated. Also,
This problem is not limited to cine cameras, but also applies to tape recorders, for example, where the mechanical vibrations of the motor have an adverse effect on the built-in microphone.

For this reason, conventional anti-vibration cables have been provided to microphones so that mechanical vibrations generated from cine cameras, tape recorders, etc. are not transmitted to the microphones. FIG. 1 shows a vibration isolating means for a microphone in a conventional cine camera. That is, reference numeral 11 denotes a microphone body, which is attached to a support member 12 that is substantially rod antenna-shaped and can be expanded and contracted. This support member 12 has its outermost peripheral portion fitted into a substantially cylindrical weight 13 . The weight 13 includes a vibration isolating member 14,
14, and the vibration isolating members 14, 14 are supported by the inner circumferential portion of a microphone cabinet 15 having a substantially bottomed cylindrical shape. Here, the microphone main body 1
1 is an opening 15 of a microphone cabinet 15
It is installed outward from 1 and is movable in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Furthermore, a locking piece 16 is provided on the end of the support member 12 facing the bottom 152 of the microphone cabinet 15 so as to protrude perpendicularly to the axial direction of the support member 12 . As shown in the figure, this locking piece 16 is locked to the inner peripheral part of the microphone cabinet 15 via elastic bodies 17 and 18, and when the microphone body 11 is moved in the direction of the arrow in the figure. , to prevent the outermost peripheral portion of the support member 12 from being moved. In addition, the above microphone cabinet 1
5, a mounting portion 20 for attaching to the camera body 19 is formed as indicated by a chain double-dashed line in the figure, and the microphone cabinet 15 is detachably attached to the camera body 19.

Here, to simply show the principle of the conventional microphone vibration isolation means as described above, Fig. 2 a
It can be expressed as shown below. That is,
The substantially central portion of the substantially columnar vibration isolating member 14 is connected to the supporting member 12.
passes through the vibration isolating member 14, and the lower portion of the vibration isolating member 14 in the figure is fixed to a camera body 19 as a microphone attachment target. When the camera body 19 vibrates, the smaller the vibration of the support member 12, the better. Here, the relationship between the vibration frequency of the camera body 19 and the noise level (L) of the microphone body 11 due to the vibration of the camera body 19 being transmitted to the support member 12 is as shown in FIG. 2b. In this case, the vibration frequency ( ₀ ) at which the noise level (L) is the highest is determined by the weight (W) including the support member 12 and the compliance (C) of the vibration isolation member 14. That is, However, k: a constant determined by the shape, material, etc. Here, from the material perspective, the currently developed vibration isolation member 14 has an inversely proportional relationship between internal loss and compliance, and it is important to improve the material. Therefore, to absolutely reduce the noise level (L),
Very difficult. Therefore, the above vibration frequency (
It is believed that it is most desirable to have the signal ₀ ) out of the audible frequency band.

On the other hand, since the cine camera is naturally manufactured with the premise of being carried, it is necessary to increase its mechanical strength so as to be able to withstand vibrations and the like during carrying. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3a, the vibration isolating member 14 is
It is necessary to cover the surface of the support member 12 that is not penetrated by the reinforcing case 21. In addition,
The shape of the vibration isolating member 14 may be as shown in FIG. The shape of the reinforcing case 21 is also changed depending on the shape of the reinforcing case 21.

However, in the conventional microphone vibration isolating means as described above, since the vibration isolating member 14 is covered with the reinforcing case 21, the compliance of the vibration isolating member 14 deteriorates, and as described above, the vibration frequency ( ₀ ) is reduced to the audible frequency. There is a problem in that not only is it extremely difficult to make the noise go out of the band, but it is also impossible to keep the overall noise level low. Further, in the case where the support member 12 is passed through the vibration isolating member 14 and bonded with an adhesive, the above problem becomes even more serious.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an extremely good vibration isolation mechanism for a microphone that can obtain a sufficient vibration isolation effect with a simple configuration and also increase mechanical strength. With the goal.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 4, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated with the same symbols,
Only the different parts will be explained here. That is, each corner portion of the vibration isolating member 14 formed in the shape of a substantially square prism is covered with a plurality of reinforcing members 22, . . . , 22, and the plurality of reinforcing members 22, . The difference from the conventional method is that it is substantially fixed to the camera body 19 by being attached to the peripheral portion.

According to such a configuration, the vibration isolating member 14 has eight corner portions formed by a plurality of reinforcing members 22,..., 22.
and is fixed to the camera body 19 via the microphone cabinet 15. In other words, the vibration isolating member 14 and the camera body 19 are connected at eight corners in a so-called point contact state. Furthermore, since all six plane parts of the vibration isolating member 14 are open, compliance does not deteriorate. Furthermore, each corner portion of the vibration isolating member 14 is not directly attached to the inner peripheral portion of the microphone cabinet 15, but is attached to a plurality of reinforcing members 2.
2, . . . , 22, the vibration isolating member 14 can be sufficiently reinforced.

Therefore, the overall noise level of the microphone body 11 due to the influence of vibrations generated from the camera body 19 can be suppressed to a low level, and the vibration isolating member 14 can be sufficiently reinforced. In addition, the support member 12 is attached to the vibration isolating member 14.
Since it is only necessary to penetrate the hole, the structure is extremely simple and assembly is easy. Regarding this point, some conventional vibration isolating means suspend the sound collection part within the microphone body using an elastic material, but since the part is very small, it is extremely difficult to assemble. be. However, according to the structure of the above embodiment, since the support member 12 is provided with a vibration isolating means, the assembly work can be facilitated.

Here, FIG. 5 compares the noise level due to the conventional vibration isolating means and the noise level due to the vibration isolating means of the above embodiment, and the curve (I) in the figure shows the noise level due to the conventional vibration isolating means. The curve ( ) shows the noise level due to the vibration isolating means of the above embodiment.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications without departing from the gist thereof.

Therefore, as detailed above, the present invention provides an extremely good vibration isolation mechanism for a microphone that can obtain a sufficient vibration isolation effect with a simple configuration and also enhance mechanical strength. can do.
