However, a configuration that can satisfy the various functions in terms of accuracy, rapidity, etc. by using the motor is provided. In order to achieve this, there are problems that a large number of the above-mentioned motors are required and the configuration thereof is complicated, and it is difficult to realize.

(Object of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a camera capable of efficiently operating many functions with a small number of motors.

(Characteristics of the Invention) In order to achieve this object, according to the present invention, a first motor and a driving force in a first direction are received to wind up, and a driving force in a second direction is received to rewind. A film drive mechanism to perform, a first transmission system that transmits the output of the first motor to the film drive mechanism, and a zoom mechanism that receives a driving force in first and second directions to perform zooming in both directions, The first

And a first state in which the bidirectional outputs of the first motor can be transmitted to the first transmission system, and the planetary gear from the first position by the output of the first motor. Has a second state in which it revolves to a second position in which it meshes with the second transmission system and then holds it, and it is possible to transmit the bidirectional outputs of the first motor to the second transmission system, And a second motor, and a third transmission system for transmitting the output of the second motor to the focus mechanism.

(Examples of the Invention) Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on illustrated examples.

1 to 3 are mechanical configuration diagrams showing an embodiment of the present invention. The motor 1 is fixed to the internal cavity of the spool 2 and to a camera body (not shown), and the output of the motor 1 is provided at the tip of the rotation shaft of the sun gear 3 via a reduction gear train (not shown). Gear 4 for transmission to
It is fixed by. The planetary gear 5 is supported by an arm 6 so as to revolve around the sun gear 3. The stopper 7 is integrally provided at the center of rotation of the planetary gear 5, and revolves in conjunction with the revolution of the planetary gear 5. The spring 8 and the spring receiver 9 generate an appropriate friction torque that prevents the planetary gear 5 from rotating, thereby generating a revolution force. The gear 10 transmits the output of the planetary gear 5 to the rack portion 12a of the sliding lever 12 via the gear 11.
The sliding lever 12 linearly moves in the photographing optical axis direction by the action of the guide groove 12b and the guide pins 13a and 13b when the output of the planetary gear 5 is transmitted. A zoom driving member 14 for moving a zoom lens group (not shown) in the photographing optical axis direction is fixed to the sliding lever 12 by a mounting member 15.

The clutch levers 16 and 17 are rotatable around a shaft 18. The clutch lever 16 is biased counterclockwise by a spring 19 (rotation in that direction is positionally regulated by a stopper 20). In such a state, the stopper portion 16a revolves around the orbit of the stopper 7. Go into the sun gear 3
Prevents the planet gears 5 from revolving due to the clockwise rotation. The stopper portion 16a preferably has a substantially arcuate shape with the shaft 18 as the center. The stopper member 21 is provided with stopper portions 21a, 21b at groove end portions for restricting the clockwise or counterclockwise revolution of the stopper 7. The switch 22 is turned off when the clutch lever 16 is in contact with the stopper 20 (see FIG. 1), and is turned on by rotating clockwise from that position (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The clutch lever 1
The spring 7 is biased clockwise by a spring 23 provided between the clutch lever 16 and the clutch lever 16, and is positioned by the restricting members 16b and 17a. When the clutch lever 16 enters the orbit of the stopper 7, The stopper portion 17b is retracted from the orbit of the stopper 7 (see FIG. 1). The stopper 24 regulates the clutch lever 16 in the clockwise direction. When the clutch lever 16 is in this position, the stopper portion 16a is outside the revolution locus of the stopper 7, and the stopper portion 17b is the revolution of the stopper 7. Each of them will be located in the locus (see Figs. 2 and 3).

The internal gear 25 is rotatably supported around a shaft 26, and can swing within a range regulated by the relationship between the stopper hole 25a and the stopper 27. The restriction levers 28 and 29 are rotatable around a shaft 30 and are positioned so as to sandwich the stopper 27 by the bias of a spring 31. Since the protrusion 25b of the internal gear 25 is also sandwiched between the restriction levers 28 and 29, the internal gear 25 is positioned by these so as to be in the intermediate position of the swing range. The internal gear 25 is oscillatably held so that when the teeth of the planetary gear 5 and the gear portion 25c are not properly meshed with each other while the planetary gear 5 revolves, the internal gear 25 is promptly released to prevent biting. This is to prevent and ensure a normal meshing state.
The internal gear 25 having the gear portion 25c is arranged in the revolution trajectory of the planetary gear 5 because the clutch lever 16 at the start of revolution is
Is configured to retreat out of the revolution path of the stopper 7, but at this time, since the clutch lever 17 has entered the revolution path, the revolution force that overcomes the urging force of the spring 23 (the clutch lever 17 moves counterclockwise). Revolving force just to rotate in the direction)
Is required, and it is a means for reliably guaranteeing the revolution force. In this embodiment, the internal gear 25 or the like is used as a means for reliably guaranteeing the revolving force, but the invention is not limited to this, and a simple protruding member may be used, or a member that uses friction may be used. .

The gear 32 meshes with the planetary gear 5 when the position of the stopper 7 is restricted by the stopper portions 17b and 21b (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The gear 33 is formed integrally with the gear 32 and the transmission shaft 34, and the output of the gear 33 is transmitted to the sun gear 35. The planetary gear 36 is supported by an arm 37 so as to be able to revolve around the sun gear 35. Although not shown as a source of this revolving force, the same components as the spring 8 and the spring bearing 9 are arranged. There is.

When the sun gear 35 rotates counterclockwise, the planet gear 36
Rotates counterclockwise until the stopper 38 comes into contact with a fixed stopper (not shown), and meshes with the gear 39 in this state. When the output of the gear 39 is transmitted to the gear portion 2a of the spool 2, the spool 2 rotates clockwise and the film F (first
(See Figures 2 and 3). The claw 40 is sufficiently protruded from the outer peripheral surface of the spool 2 by the action of a spring (not shown), for the purpose of facilitating engagement with the perforation of the film when the film is loaded. When the perforation of the film is engaged with the engaging portion 40a, the claw 40 is rotated counterclockwise (against the spring (not shown)) by the tension of the film, and only the engaging portion 40a is the outer circumference of the spool 2. In the state of protruding from the surface, that is, in this state, the engaging portion 40a acts as a stopper to keep the engagement with the perforation of the film.

When the sun gear 35 rotates clockwise, the planet gears
36 revolves clockwise until the stopper 38 comes into contact with a fixed stopper (not shown), and meshes with the gear 41 in this state. A winding shaft of a film cartridge (not shown) is fitted in the engaging groove 42a of the rewinding member 42, and the output of the gear 41 is transmitted to the gear 43 integrally provided with the rewinding member 42. Then, the film cartridge (not shown) rotates counterclockwise and the rewinding of the film F is started.

The motor 44 is arranged in parallel with the optical axis of the taking lens (not shown), and transmits the output generated in the motor 44 to the sun gear 45 via a reduction gear train (not shown) at the tip of the rotation shaft. The gear 46 is fixed by press fitting (or bonding). The planet gear 47 is supported by an arm 48 so as to be able to revolve around the sun gear 45. The spring 49 generates an appropriate friction torque that prevents the planet gear 47 from rotating, thereby generating a revolution force. The arm 48 is a stopper
When it is in contact with 50, that is, the tension lever 51 rotates clockwise according to the urging force of the spring 52, and its engaging portion 51a and arm 48
When engaged with the engaging portion 48a (see FIG. 1), the planet gear 47 meshes with the focus driving member 53 that drives the taking lens by a helicoid (not shown) or the like. The planet gear 47
When the output of the (motor 44) is transmitted to the focus driving member 53, the focus driving member 53 rotates in the normal direction or the reverse direction, and the photographic lens (not shown) moves toward the infinite or close-up direction. When the sun gear 45 is rotated clockwise while the tension lever 51 is rotating counterclockwise against the spring 52, the planet gear 47 revolves until the arm 48 contacts the stopper 54, It meshes with the gear 55 at this position. The output of the gear 55 is transmitted to a charge gear 56 having protrusions 56a and 56b via a reduction gear train (not shown), and the charge gear 56 rotates counterclockwise about a shaft 57.

The charge lever 58 is rotatably supported by a shaft 59, is urged clockwise by a spring 60, and has an initial position determined by a stopper 61. When the charge gear 56 starts rotating counterclockwise, Since the protrusion 58a (or 56b) presses the lower portion 58a, the charge lever 58 starts rotating counterclockwise against the spring 60. The switch 62 is turned off when the charge lever 58 is in contact with the stopper 61, and turned on by rotating counterclockwise. The accumulator lever 63 is rotatably supported by a shaft 64 and a spring 19 for urging the clutch lever 16 in a counterclockwise direction.
It is urged in the counterclockwise direction by a spring 65 having a larger urging force than the spring 65, and as shown in FIG.
And the engaging portion 66a of the tension lever 66 is engaged,
That is, when the counterclockwise rotation is blocked, the switching portion 63b and the clutch lever 16 are not in contact with each other, and the charging portion 63c is in contact with the levers 67, 68 and 69. Lever 6
Numeral 7 is rotatably supported by a shaft 70 and is urged counterclockwise by a spring 71, and in FIG. 1 the position is regulated by the charging portion 63c. Is a switch for detecting the state of the tension lever 51 by rotating clockwise as shown in FIG.
72 is off. When the position is not regulated by the charging portion 63c, the lever 67 is in contact with the stopper 73 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The biasing force of the spring 71 is larger than the biasing force of the spring 52. The lever 68 is rotatably supported by a shaft 74, and is positioned in contact with the stopper 76 by the urging force of the spring 75 when the position is not regulated by the charging portion 63c.

The lever 69 and the lever 77 are rotatably supported by a shaft 78, and the lever 69 is biased clockwise by a spring 79 provided between the lever 69 and the lever 77, and the lever 77 is biased clockwise by a spring 80. There is. The electromagnet 81 is composed of a permanent magnet 81a and a coil 81b. When the energization to the electromagnet 81 is cut off, the armature 82 is attracted, and when the energization is started, a magnetic flux is generated in the opposite direction to the permanent magnet 81a. Flows and loses its attractive force, that is, demagnetizes. The armature 82 is swingably supported by a swing shaft 83 embedded in a lever 77 so that the electromagnet 81 can stably attract the armature 82. Since the biasing force of the spring 79 is set to be smaller than the attraction force of the armature 82 by the permanent magnet 81a of the electromagnet 81 and larger than the spring 80, when the electromagnet 81 is demagnetized, the lever 77 resists the spring 80. Since the tension lever 66 is pressed by the armature 82 so as to rotate counterclockwise by the biasing force of the spring 79 to a position regulated by the rising portion 69a of 69, the pressing force is larger than this pressing force. It rotates counterclockwise about the shaft 85 against the spring 84 having a small biasing force (see FIGS. 2 and 3) to engage the engaging portion 66a and the engaging portion 63a.
Is disengaged. When the engagement between the engaging portions 66a and 63a is released, the energy storing lever 63 is rotated counterclockwise. As a result, the lever 68 that is in contact with the engaging portion 63c has the spring 75 It rotates clockwise in accordance with the urging force, and at this time, the shutter double light-shielding release lever 86 operates.
As a shutter (not shown), it is assumed that the front curtain and the rear curtain both cover the exposure frame when charging is completed,
Therefore, it is necessary to retract the rear curtain once outside the exposure frame before the exposure, and the shutter double light-shield release lever 86
Is provided for that purpose, and the rear curtain retracts outside the exposure frame by the clockwise rotation of the lever 68. The shutter charge lever 87 charges the shutter, and is charged in conjunction with the charging of the charge lever 58.

The sprocket 88 is provided in a film passage (not shown), and its projection 88a engages with the perforation of the film F and rotates in conjunction with the movement of the film. Eight projections 88a are provided so that the number of perforations is equal to one frame, so that the sprocket 88 rotates 360 degrees by feeding one film. Pattern board 89 is sprocket 8
Rotate together with 8 and switch 90
The switch 90 is turned on when both contact pieces of the above are mounted. The switch 91 is for detecting the presence / absence of the film, and is turned on when the film is not loaded, and is off because the pressing portion 92a of the film presence / absence detection member 92 is pressed by the film F when the film is loaded. It becomes a state.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention. SW

The switch, SW4, that turns off when the charging operation that is the source starts, is a zoom switch that can be switched to the tele side or wide side by manual operation. 101 is each switch 22, 62, 72, 91, SW1 to SW4

When the electromagnet Mg1 is energized via 6, the engagement by the stopper claw (not shown) is released, and when the diaphragm drive coil 108 is energized via the drive circuit 107 in this state, the diaphragm blade (not shown) narrows down. Start driving in the direction. Note that the aperture state is detected by a photocoupler (not shown) during the aperture operation, and when it is detected that a predetermined aperture has been reached, the electromagnet Mg1 and the drive circuit 108 are de-energized and the stopper claw is opened. It acts and is held at a predetermined aperture value against a return spring (not shown). When the electromagnet Mg1 is energized again after the exposure is completed, the stopper claw is released, and the diaphragm blade is returned to the open state by the action of the return spring. 11
Reference numeral 0 denotes a drive circuit which controls a shutter (not shown) together with the drive circuit 111, the front curtain magnet Mg2-1 and the rear curtain magnet Mg2-2, and the front curtain magnet Mg2− via the drive circuit 110.
When electricity is applied to 1, the front curtain (not shown) runs and the drive circuit
When electricity is applied to the rear curtain magnet Mg2-2 via 111, the rear curtain not shown runs. If the functions of the drive circuits can be processed in the CPU 101, it is not necessary to provide the drive circuits.

Next, the operation will be described. First, the zoom drive and focus drive control will be described. Zoom switch SW
When 4 is operated and zooming to the tele side or the wide side is selected, the CPU 101 and the drive circuit 104 perform forward or reverse drive control of the motor 1. The output of the motor 1 is transmitted to the sun gear 3 via a gear 4 and a reduction gear train (not shown). At this time, the clutch lever 16 has entered the orbit of the stopper 7 as shown in FIG. 1, and the position of the stopper 7 is restricted by the stopper portion 16a and the stopper portion 21a. Even if it rotates clockwise, the planetary gear 5 does not revolve. That is, regardless of the rotation direction of the sun gear 3 (motor 1), the output of the sun gear 3 is surely transmitted to the rack portion 12a of the sliding lever 12 via the planetary gear 5, gears 10 and 11. Sliding lever 12
Is guided by the guide pins 13a and 13b and slides forward or backward, and the zoom drive member 14 integrated with the guide pins 13a and 13b starts to move in the same manner, and zooming of the photographing lens is started. After that, when the selection operation of the zoom switch SW4 is stopped or the zoom drive range limit is detected by a not-shown tele end or wide end detection switch, the power supply to the motor 1 is cut off and the zooming ends.

On the other hand, when the first stroke of the release button (not shown) is made and the switch SW1 is turned on, the CPU 101 and the drive circuit 105 control the normal rotation or the reverse rotation of the motor 44 based on the information from the focus detection circuit 102. The output of the motor 44 is a gear
46, transmitted to the sun gear 45 via a reduction gear train (not shown). At this time, the position of the planetary gear 47 is restricted by the action of the arm 48 and the tension lever 51 so as to mesh with the focus drive member 53 as shown in FIG.
Even if 45 rotates clockwise, the planet gear 47 does not revolve. That is, regardless of the rotation direction of the sun gear 45 (motor 44), the output of the sun gear 45 is reliably transmitted to the focus drive member 53 via the planet gear 47.

In FIG. 1, the film is not loaded and the switch 91 is on, but the zoom and focus drive control can be performed regardless of whether the switch 91 is on or off. When the film F is loaded as shown in FIG. 2, the film F is detected by the film F.
The switch 91 is turned off because the pressing portion 92a of 92 is pressed, but it is already known that automatic film feeding control of the film is performed by the off state of the switch 91 and the on state of the back lid closing operation detection switch (not shown). Therefore, even if such an automatic jump control is performed and the film jump end is completed,
Since only the switch 91 is turned off as compared with FIG. 1, the zoom and focus drive control can be performed as described above.

Next, a series of shooting operations after the zoom and focus drive control is completed will be described with reference to FIG. Note that FIG. 5 shows a time chart during so-called continuous shooting (two-frame continuous shooting) while the switch SW2 that is turned on by the second stroke of the release button (not shown) is held in the ON state.
When the switch SW2 is turned on, the electromagnet is driven through the drive circuit 109.
81 is energized. When energized, the electromagnet 81 is demagnetized, and the attraction force of the armature 82 is lost. The armature 82 rotates counterclockwise together with the lever 77 according to the bias of the spring 79, and the tightening lever 66 rotates counterclockwise. As a result, the engaging portion 66a of the tension lever 66 and the engaging portion 6a of the energy storage lever 63 are
3a is disengaged, the energy storage lever 63 rotates counterclockwise according to the spring 65, and is pressed by the switching portion 63b so that the clutch lever 16 is regulated by the stopper 24 against the spring 19. Rotate clockwise to. Then, the clutch lever 16 retreats out of the revolution trajectory of the stopper 7, and the clutch lever 17 enters into the revolution trajectory of the stopper 7. At this time, the switch 22 is turned on. When the charging lever 63 rotates counterclockwise as described above, the pressing by the charging portion 63c is released, so that the lever 68 rotates to the position regulated by the stopper 76 according to the bias of the spring 75, and the shutter is released. The double light blocking release lever 86 is operated to retract the shutter rear curtain (not shown) from the exposure frame to release the double light blocking. Further, the lever 67 rotates to the position regulated by the stopper 73 according to the urging force of the spring 71, rotates the tension lever 51 counterclockwise against the spring 52, and the engaging portion 51a of the lever 67 is rotated. 48 engaging parts 4
Remove from the engagement position with 8a. At this time, the switch 72 is turned on. The lever 69 rotates according to the bias of the spring 79 until its rising portion 69a contacts the lever 77, and further rotates counterclockwise in conjunction with the clockwise rotation of the lever 77 by the bias of the spring 80. To do. The armature 82 is then re-adsorbed on the electromagnet 81 which is then de-energized.

In addition, at the same time as the start of energization of the electromagnet 81, the drive circuit
The electromagnet Mg1 is energized via 106, and the drive circuit continues.
The diaphragm drive coil 108 is also energized via 107. As a result, the stopper pawl of the diaphragm mechanism (not shown) is released, and the diaphragm blade (not shown) is narrowed down. After that, when it is detected by a diaphragm detection member such as a photocoupler that the diaphragm has been narrowed down to a predetermined position, the electromagnet Mg1 and the diaphragm drive coil 108 are de-energized, and in this state, the diaphragm blade is actuated by the action of the stopper claw. Is held and is kept in a predetermined aperture state. When the above operation is completed, CPU101
Thus, shutter drive control (not shown) is started. That is, first, the front curtain magnet Mg2-1 is energized via the drive circuit 110. As a result, the tension not shown is released, and the shutter front curtain not shown runs. Next photometric circuit
The shutter time is calculated based on the information from 103, and the drive circuit is calculated after the shutter time is determined by the calculation result.
Power is supplied to the rear curtain magnet Mg2-2 via 111. This releases the tension not shown, and the shutter rear curtain not shown runs. When the trailing shutter shutter operation is completed, the switch SW3 is turned on. This completes the film exposure operation.

When the switch SW3 is turned on as described above, energization of the motor 1 is started, the motor 1 rotates in the film winding direction, and the sun gear 3 starts rotating in the clockwise direction. At this time, the clutch lever 16 is retracted out of the orbit of the stopper 7, so that the planet gear 5 starts to revolve clockwise by the action of the spring 8 and the spring receiver 9. Shortly after the revolution starts, the planetary gear 5 meshes with the tooth portion 25c of the internal gear 25. At this time, if a load is applied that causes the teeth to be out of phase with each other and causes biting, the internal gear 25 will have a stopper hole 25a and a stopper 27. When oscillated within a range regulated by the relationship with, and the normal meshing state is achieved, the position of the protrusion 25b is regulated by the action of the regulating levers 28, 29 and the spring 31, so that the protrusion 25b returns to the middle position. Further, the stopper 7 contacts the clutch lever 17 during the revolution, but the revolution force of the stopper 7 is that the planetary gear 5 and the internal gear 25 mesh with each other to cause the motor 1 to rotate.
Since it has a force corresponding to the output of, the clutch lever 17 revolves counterclockwise against the spring 23 while revolving. The meshing of the planetary gear 5 and the internal gear 25 is released immediately before reaching the stopper portion 21b, but at this time, an excessive counterclockwise revolution force is not generated on the contact surface of the clutch lever 17 and the stopper 7. If the configuration is taken into consideration, the action of the spring 8 allows the stopper portion 21b to revolve.

The planetary gear 5 and the gear 32 mesh with each other while the stopper 7 is in contact with the stopper portion 21b, and the clockwise rotation of the sun gear 3 is transmitted through the planetary gear 5, the transmission shaft 34, and the gear 33 to the sun gear.
Transmitted to 35, which causes the sun gear 35 to start rotating counterclockwise. When the sun gear 35 starts rotating counterclockwise, the planetary gear 36 revolves to a position where a fixed stopper (not shown) and the stopper 38 come into contact with each other, and meshes with the gear 39 in this state. Therefore, the output of the planetary gear 36 is transmitted to the gear portion 2a of the spool 2 via the gear 39, the spool 2 rotates clockwise, and the film is wound up. Due to the movement of the film, the sprocket 88 starts to rotate in the clockwise direction, the pattern substrate 89 also starts to rotate, and the switch 90 detects the feed amount to wind one frame of film. More specifically, the switch 90 is turned on at the start of film winding, starts from this state, turns off,
When the next ON is detected (by the CPU 101) through ON and OFF, the energization to the motor 1 is cut off (see FIG. 5), and the film winding for one frame is completed.

At the same time when the power supply to the motor 1 is stopped, power supply to the motor 44 via the drive circuit 104 is started in the direction in which the sun gear 45 rotates clockwise. At this time, since the engagement portion 51a of the tension lever 51 is retracted from the engagement position with the engagement portion 48a of the arm 48, the sun gear 45 rotates clockwise and the planet gear 47 acts as the spring 49. As a result, the arm 48 revolves clockwise until it comes into contact with the stopper 54, and meshes with the gear 55. The positional relationship of each member at this time is shown in FIG. In this state, the output of the sun gear 45 is transmitted to the charge gear 56 via the planetary gear 47, the gear 55 and a gear train (not shown), and the charge gear 56 starts rotating counterclockwise. When the charge gear 56 starts rotating in the counterclockwise direction in this manner, its protrusion 56a contacts the lower portion 58a of the charge lever 58, and the charge lever 58 starts rotating counterclockwise against the spring 60. . At this time, the switch 62 is turned on. The charge lever 58 is a charge portion of the energy storage lever 63 during rotation.
Abutment against 63c causes the accumulator lever 63 to rotate clockwise against the spring 65. As described above, when the energy storage lever 63 rotates clockwise, the switching portion 63b retracts, so that the clutch lever 16 rotates counterclockwise to the position where it abuts the stopper 20 according to the bias of the spring 19. Also, lever 67 is charging part 63
Since it is pressed by c, it rotates counterclockwise against the spring 71, and the tension lever 51 follows the urging force of the spring 52 and its engaging portion.
It rotates clockwise until 51a reaches a position where it can engage with the engaging portion 48a. Since the lever 68 is also pressed by the charging portion 63c, it is rotated counterclockwise against the spring 75 to the position where it abuts against the stopper 76, and the restriction of the shutter double-shielding release lever 86 is released. The lever 69 also rotates counterclockwise and the spring
Charge 79.

When the energy storage lever 63 is rotated clockwise to a predetermined charging position, the engagement portion 63a of the tension lever 66 engages with the engagement portion 63a thereof by the action of the spring 84. Further, by rotating the charge lever 58 counterclockwise, the shutter charge lever 87 is charged. On the other hand, the charge gear 56
Even after the engaging portions 63a and 66a are engaged with each other, as described above, the bearing rotates slightly as overcharge, and thereafter the protrusion 56a and the lower portion 58a of the charge lever 58 come out of contact with each other. Due to this, the charge lever 58 is rotated in the clockwise direction according to the urging force of the spring 60 until it comes into contact with the stopper 61 again. At this time, the switch 62 is turned off, and when the switch 62 is turned off in this manner, the power supply to the motor 44 is cut off. By the above, the film winding and the mechanical charging for the exposure preparation are completed.

In normal one-frame shooting, when the film winding and mechanical charging for one frame are completed, the motor 1,
The first that can drive 44, zoom drive and focus drive
Although it is returned to the state shown in the drawing (details will be described later), in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the first stroke of the release button (not shown) is still pressed, and the switch SW2 is still on. Therefore, the sequence of continuous shooting will be started. Therefore, let's continue with the explanation of the second frame of continuous shooting. Before that, however, performing the operation of returning each member to the state of FIG. This is not preferable because the inconvenience of changing the zoom state or focus state at the time of setting occurs. For this reason, in this embodiment, the zoom and focus setting values for the first frame of continuous shooting are fixed, and the planetary gears 5 and 47 are held in a state of meshing with the gears 32 and 55 so that continuous shooting proceeds with this initial setting value. It is configured.

The second frame of continuous shooting is started after the photometric circuit 103 is operated. Since a series of release operations starting from energization of the electromagnet 81, energization of the motor 1 for film winding, and energization of the motor 44 for mechanical charging are the same as those described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

When the photographing of the second frame is completed and the charge lever 58 is rotated clockwise according to the urging force of the spring 60 and the switch 62 is turned off as described above, the switch 62 is turned off as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is determined that the continuous shooting is not performed. Therefore,
In such a case, energization is started in the motor 1 in the direction in which the sun gear 3 rotates counterclockwise, and in the motor 44 in the direction in which the sun gear 45 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the clutch lever 17 is retracted out of the revolution trajectory of the stopper 7 (state shown in FIG. 1), so that the planetary gear 5 starts to revolve in the counterclockwise direction and meshes with the internal gear 25. In this case as well, in the same manner as described above, the normal meshing state is achieved by the action of the spring 31 and the like when the meshing failure occurs. The stopper 7 contacts the clutch lever 16 during the revolution, but the action of the internal gear 25 causes the spring 19 to move.
The stopper 7 revolves while rotating the clutch lever 16 clockwise against the force. At this time, the switch 22 turns on and then turns off when the stopper 7 revolves until it comes into contact with the stopper portion 21a (see FIG. 5). When the CPU 101 detects such an on / off state of the switch 22, energization of the motor 1 which has been performed via the drive circuit 104 is stopped, and the planetary gear 5 is held in a state of meshing with the gear 10. Further, the planet gear 47 starts to revolve counterclockwise by the action of the spring 49 due to the counterclockwise rotation of the sun gear 45. The arm 48 and the tension lever 51 contact each other during this revolution, but the tension force generated by the spring 49 causes the tension lever 51 to contact.
The planet gear 47 revolves while rotating 51 counterclockwise against the spring 52. At this time, the switch 72 is turned on, and then the planetary gear 47 is moved to a position where the engaging portion 48a of the arm 48 and the engaging portion 51a of the tension lever 51 engage with each other, that is, a position where the arm 48 contacts the stopper 50. When the orbit revolves, it turns off (see Fig. 5). When the on / off state of the switch 72 is detected by the CPU 101, the drive circuit 105
The power supply to the motor 44, which has been performed via the, is stopped, and the planetary gear 47 is held in a state of meshing with the focus drive member 53. By the above, each member returns to the state of FIG.

As described above, the on / off state of the switch SW2 is determined, and the switching sequence control to the zoom / focus drive state is performed. After that, the same shooting operation is performed.

When the filming to the end is completed and the film winding of the last frame is started, the film is in a stretched state during the film winding (during the state of FIG. 2), and the predetermined on / off signal is not generated in the switch 90. . Then, the timer circuit in the CPU 101 is activated to stop the energization of the motor 1 in the film winding direction after a predetermined time, and conversely, the sun gear 3 is rotated counterclockwise in the film rewinding direction. Is started. At this time, the stopper 7 is connected to the stoppers 17b and 2
Since the position is regulated by 1b, the planetary gear 5 and the gear 32 remain in the meshed state, and the counterclockwise output of the sun gear 3 is the planetary gear 5, the gear 32, the transmission shaft 34, and the gear 33.
Is transmitted to the sun gear 35 via, and the sun gear 35 starts rotating in the clockwise direction. Further, the planetary gear 36 revolves to the position where the stopper 38 comes into contact with the fixed stopper (not shown) by the action of a spring (not shown), that is, to the position where it meshes with the gear 41. Therefore,
The output of the planetary gear 36 is transmitted to the gear 43 via the gear 41, the rewinding member 42 integrated with the gear 43 starts rotating counterclockwise, and rewinding of the film is started. The positional relationship of each member at this time is shown in FIG.

When the film is rewound, the sprocket 88 rotates counterclockwise along with the movement of the film, and the pattern substrate 89 also rotates counterclockwise in conjunction with this, so that the switch 90 generates a signal for repeatedly turning on and off. When the film rewinding is completed, the switch 90 does not generate a signal for repeatedly turning on and off. When the signal that repeatedly turns on and off does not occur in the switch 90, the timer circuit in the CPU 101 operates,
The motor 1 which has been driven through the drive circuit 104 after a predetermined time.
Is turned off. At the same time, the motor 44 is energized in the direction that the sun gear 45 makes clockwise, the above-described mechanical charging is performed, and when the switch 62 is finally turned off, the final sequence shown in FIG. 5 is performed. Similarly to the above, the motors 1 and 44 are energized to return to the state of FIG. 1 in which zoom and focus can be driven. However, in this case, the planet gear 36 remains in mesh with the gear 41.

According to the present embodiment, the zoom drive, focus drive, film drive, and mechanical charge for exposure preparation (exposure preparation drive) can be performed by only the two motors 1 and 44, so motors with few functions are provided. It makes it possible to work efficiently. Further, since the zoom driving motor and the focus driving motor do not need to be independently transmitted to each other, they can be driven at the same time, and a large load is not applied to one motor so that smooth driving is possible. Drive can be expected.

Further, since the film winding axis and the rotation axis of the motor 1 are arranged in parallel, and the optical axis of the photographing lens and the rotation axis of the motor 44 are arranged in parallel, that is, since the spur gears can be connected, The structure is simplified, and the film drive and focus drive, which are expected to be driven with high precision, can be reliably controlled. Further, since the zoom drive which allows a relatively rough drive is transmitted by the zoom drive transmission member (sliding lever 12 and zoom drive member 14) which moves in the optical axis direction of the lens, the film winding shaft and the motor 1 are transmitted. The connection to the zoom drive transmission member can be performed easily and reliably while the spur gear connection with the rotary shaft is guaranteed. Similarly, with respect to the mechanical charge for the exposure preparation, the focus drive member 53 and the motor 44 can be easily and surely connected to the exposure preparation drive transmission member while ensuring the spur gear connection.

Furthermore, because the zoom mechanism is provided, the interface for lens replacement can be eliminated, making it easier to use, and eliminating the need to configure within the constraints of the interface. It is possible to realize a high performance fully automatic camera. Furthermore, in the conventional fully automatic camera using 35mm film, the shooting optical system and the viewfinder optical system are generally separated, the shooting lens focal length is fixed, and the focus control is generally driven in one direction immediately before shooting. , I could not confirm the shooting screen (focus or zooming state) while looking through the viewfinder, but as mentioned above, I achieved a fully automatic camera that can perform zoom and focus drive control before shooting. It is possible to easily configure the configuration so that the shooting screen can be confirmed in advance.

(Correspondence between Invention and Embodiment) In the present embodiment, the motor 1 is the first motor of the present invention, the gears 32 to 39 and the gears 41 to 43 are the first transmission system, and the gears 10 and 11 are the same. , The sliding lever 12 and the zoom drive member 14 serve as a second transmission system, and the sun gear 3, the planetary gear 5, the arm 6, the stopper 7, the spring 8, the spring bearing 9, the clutch levers 16 and 17, and the stopper member 21 serve as a clutch. The motor 44 corresponds to the second motor, and the sun gear 45, the gear 47, and the focus drive member 53 correspond to the third transmission system.

As described above, according to the present invention, the role of the first motor is set to drive film and zoom, and the role of the second motor is set to drive focus, and By using the clutch means having the planetary gear as a means for transmitting the outputs of the motor in both directions to the transmission system after the transmission system is switched, the following effects are obtained.

Focus and zoom can be driven simultaneously, and the lens can be operated early during shooting.

Although the zoom drive and the film drive are performed as the role of the first motor, the zoom drive can be performed in both directions and the number of motors can be reduced by performing the film drive in both the winding and rewinding directions.

By using the planetary gear whose revolution direction is switched depending on the output direction of the first motor as the clutch means for switching the transmission system of the first motor, it is possible to smoothly switch the clutch means, and The clutch means can be switched by controlling the output direction of the motor.
