In recent years, as camera mechanisms have become more electronic, information such as the aperture aperture and focal length of the interchangeable lens is electrically transmitted to the camera body through an electrical connector device installed between the camera body and the interchangeable lens. The number of proposals to do so is increasing. The power source for the electrical devices that emit this information is generally built into the camera body. On the other hand, as the automation of camera mechanisms progresses, the development of interchangeable lens cameras with an autofocus function has become active, and multiple signals for autofocus can be exchanged between the camera body and the interchangeable lens. has come to be practiced. In camera systems with this autofocus function, various systems are available depending on where in the camera system the elements of the autofocus adjustment device, that is, the focus detector, the drive source for moving the photographic optical system, and the power source are placed. Although different, one of the most advantageous systems is a system in which a lens drive source (motor) is provided within the interchangeable lens barrel, and a focus detector and power source are located within the camera body. In this case, it is necessary to provide a large number of connector contacts on the mount that connects the interchangeable lens and the camera body, but the power supply contact on the camera body side has contact continuity with the contacts other than the power supply contact on the interchangeable lens side. do,
There is a risk of disrupting or damaging the electrical device inside the interchangeable lens.

In order to eliminate the above drawbacks, a proposal has been made public in which a switch mechanism is provided on all the contacts on the camera body side, and the switch is turned on by the action of attaching an interchangeable lens to the camera body. However, the mechanism is complicated and the cost is high. Also,
Interchangeable lenses have also been released in which each contact is shifted in the direction of the optical axis of the photographing lens or in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis so that it does not come into contact with any contacts other than those to be connected. Since there is not enough space on both the side and the camera body side, there is a drawback that only a small number of contacts can be installed. The present invention eliminates all of the above-mentioned drawbacks, allows a large number of connector contacts (hereinafter simply referred to as "contacts") to be provided even in a narrow mounting area, and has a simple structure, allowing each contact to be The purpose of the present invention is to provide a connector device that does not cause electrical interference with other devices.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the connector section of FIG. 2. Insert the lens bayonet 4 into the camera body side mount section 34, and insert the interchangeable lens A by a predetermined angle θ in the direction of the arrow (counterclockwise). When you rotate ,
Since the lens attachment/detachment pin 45 provided in the lens mount portion 34 falls into the notch groove 4a provided in the lens bayonet 4, rotation of the interchangeable lens A is prevented, and attachment to the camera body B is completed. At this time, the contacts 9a to 9f on the lens side are also rotated by an angle θ, rotationally displaced from the position shown by the dotted line to the position shown by the solid line, and the contacts on the camera body side facing each other are rotated as shown in FIG. 37a to 37f and are electrically connected. As is clear from FIG. 2, the contact 37
a is connected to the anode of the power supply battery 41, but the third
Since the contact 37a is located at the leftmost end in the figure, as shown in FIG.
It does not come into contact with any of the contacts on the interchangeable lens side until it comes into contact with the lens. Therefore, there is no chance of accidental contact with other contacts and damage to the circuit. If the intervals between the contacts are equal (d), the contact 37a for the power battery needs to be placed at the leftmost end as shown in Fig. 4 (a), and if the contact 37a for the power supply battery as shown in Fig. 4 (b)
a, 37b as contacts 37c, 37 for control signals.
When placed on the right side of d, the contacts 37a, 3
7b may come into contact with the contacts 9c and 9d during the rotation of the interchangeable lens, and may destroy, for example, a switching element in the drive circuit 20.
If the contacts 37a to 37f on the camera body side and the contacts 9a to 9f on the interchangeable lens side are both arranged left and right opposite to those in Fig. 4A as shown in Fig. 4C, then the power supply battery contacts 37a and 37b first make contact with the contacts 9f and 9e for the aperture information circuit, damaging the circuit elements in this circuit, and when the rotation progresses further and contact with the contacts 9d and 9c of the drive circuit 20. This will destroy the circuit element.

Power battery contacts 37a, 37b and other contacts 37c to 37 as shown in FIG. 4B and FIG. 4C above.
Embodiments of the present invention that improve the drawbacks due to the difference in arrangement with f will be described below. In order to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks, as shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. '=d±
d/2, the contacts 37a and 37b alternately contact one of the contacts on the interchangeable lens side that is rotating, and at the same time, the contacts 37a and 37b contact the interchangeable lens side. The contactors 37a and 37b for the power battery are simultaneously connected to the contactors 9a and 9b for the drive circuit at the end of the rotation of the interchangeable lens without making contact with the contacts on the side, and a power supply line is formed. be done. Therefore, even if the contactor 37a contacts the contactor on the interchangeable lens side while the interchangeable lens is rotating, no electricity will flow, so the circuit will not be destroyed. In Fig. 6, the spacing between the contacts is different, and two of the contacts 9a to 9f on the interchangeable lens side are two of the contacts 37a to 37f on the camera body side. This prevents the contacts from coming into contact with each other at the same time during installation. The spacing between each contact is, for example, 37a-37b
Distance d 1 = 6, Distance d 2 between 37b-37c = 8, 3
The ratio may be such that the interval d 3 between 7c and 37d is 10, the interval d 4 between 37d and 37e is 12, and the interval d 5 between 37e and 37f is 16.

As described above, according to the present invention, the power supply contact 37a is configured so as not to interfere with the signal connector contacts 9c to 9f of the electrical device on the interchangeable lens side, so that the electrical device will not be destroyed when the interchangeable lens is attached. There is no risk of malfunction or malfunction, improving both operability and safety. Furthermore, since no additional devices such as a switch are required, it is advantageous in terms of cost, and it is possible to realize a compact connector device that is structurally simple and has fewer failures.

are arranged on the same circumference in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens, and arranged so that a plurality of contacts slide on each of the first and second contacts 37a and 37b during rotation operation. , the spacing between the anode side and cathode side contacts 9a, 9b is equal to the spacing d' between the first and second contacts 37a, 37b, and any two of the other contacts on the lens side mount section and the distance between any one of the other contacts of the lens side mount section and the anode side or cathode side contacts 9a, 9b, so that these contacts of the lens side mount section are not connected to the first and second contacts. An interchangeable lens characterized in that the distance between the first and second contactors 37a and 37b is set to be different from the distance d' so as not to contact the first and second contactors at the same time. 2. In the interchangeable lens according to claim 1, the distance d' between the anode side contact 9a and the cathode side contact 9b is equal to the distance d between the other contacts of the lens side mount section, Also, an interchangeable lens characterized in that the distance d between one of the other contacts of the lens side mount portion and the anode side or cathode side contacts 9a, 9b is approximately 1.5 times.
