Lens unit 4 possesses the 1st camera lens the 41, the 2nd camera lens 42 and the 3rd camera lens 43 as pick-up lens that is provided with in proper order from light source one side, and these the 1st camera lens the 41, the 2nd camera lenses 42 and the 3rd camera lens 43 are fixed on profile and form in the interior circumferential portion of camera lens fixed frame 44 of tubular.
In addition, the aperture board 45 for example be used to regulate luminous flux is set between the 1st camera lens 41 and the 2nd camera lens 42, in addition, between the 2nd camera lens 42 and the 3rd camera lens 43, is provided for limiting the interval constraint member 46 at the interval of these the 2nd camera lenses 42 and the 3rd camera lens 43.
Camera lens fixed frame 44 possesses pin thread 44a at its outer peripheral portion, by screwing togather the pin thread 44a of camera lens fixed frame 44 on the female screw 51a in being formed at the interior circumferential portion of urceolus 5, thereby lens unit 4 is configured in the inboard of urceolus 5.
Here, rotate around the axle center of optical axis direction, this lens unit 4 is moved freely along optical axis direction, thus, constitute the focusing state adjusting mechanism of the focusing state of adjusting lens unit 4 by make lens unit 4 with respect to urceolus 5.More particularly, go up the overlap 53a of overlap joint urceolus 5 and under the state of having located at the reference region (aftermentioned) of cam member 6 along optical axis direction, use the focusing state of predetermined pattern evaluation lens unit 4, according to its evaluation situation, move along optical axis direction by spiral lens unit 4, adjust the focusing state of this lens unit 4.Like this, carry out the adjustment of the focusing state of the lens unit 4 in the benchmark camera position.
Urceolus 5 for example is that profile forms the roughly member of tubular, possess form on the interior circumferential portion female screw 51a on annular section 51, continuously should on annular section 51 and form and by pressing members such as spring 11 be pressed against the part 52 that is pressed of substrate 2 one sides, this part 52 that is pressed forms and has formed at end portion the following annular section 53 of the overlap 53a of the cam surface 611 that snaps into cam member 6 continuously.
Overlap 53a separates roughly 120 ° of intervals, forms 3 projections from the lower surface that descends annular section 53 to imaging apparatus 3 one sides.In addition, the difference of height of the projection length of overlap joint unit 53a and cam surface 611 upper surfaces of cam member 6 perhaps compares so as to see who is superior to differ from and grows about equally.
In addition, the first half of pressing member 11 for example snaps into the lower surface of the upper cover part 1a of crust of the device 1, thus, becomes by pressing member 11 often urceolus 5 pressed towards substrate 2 one sides.
In addition, in the precalculated position of urceolus 5, be provided for by the detection of the position of the optical axis direction of photoelectric interrupter 9 detector lens unit 4 with vane member 54.
Secondly, explain cam member 6 with reference to Fig. 4, Fig. 5 (a) and Fig. 5 (b).Here, Fig. 4 is the oblique view of expression cam member 6, the cam surface 611 of Fig. 5 (a) and Fig. 5 (b) pattern ground expression cam member 6.
As shown in Figure 4, cam member 6 for example is the member that forms general toroidal, specifically, constitutes and possesses: have the overhead cam part 61 as cam portion that supports the cam surface 611 of urceolus 5 at upper surface and overlap 53a overlap joint from downside; And be provided with to foreign side is outstanding from the downside of this overhead cam part 61, in outer peripheral portion, formed gear, support lower disc part (pedestal) 62 as supporting member of these urceolus 5 through overhead cam part 61.
The cam surface 611 of overhead cam part 61 shown in Fig. 5 (a), separate roughly 120 ° form at interval have along with the optical axis direction reference region 61a of the surface level that extends of the direction of quadrature roughly, the unlimited far field 61b of mistake with the low slightly surface level of this reference region of aspect ratio 61a, reference region 61a and cross the small drop district 61c that unlimited far field 61b is connected continuously, utmost point near region 61d with the also high surface level of aspect ratio reference region 61a, with the AF district 61e that crosses the continuous setting in unlimited far field 61b and utmost point near region 61d front and back with wide dip plane, the big drop district 61f that utmost point near region 61d and reference region 61a are connected continuously.Thus, by 3 overlap 53a of overlap joint urceolus 5 on the cam surface 611 of cam member 6, cam member 6 becomes at 3 somes support urceolus 5.
And, rotating on optical axis by cam member 6, overlap 53a moves up and down when the cam surface 611 of overhead cam part 61 slides, and thus, with urceolus 5, lens unit 4 is along the optical axis direction displacement.
The difference of height of big drop district 61f for example becomes at least can the enough detections height of vane member 54 switchings from the level degree of the pulse signal of photoelectric interrupter 9 outputs.That is, by cam member 6 rotate so that cam surface 611 for example along the left of figure (a) to moving, overlap 53a moves in big drop district 61f from top to bottom.At this moment, according to detecting with the relative difference of height of vane member 54 with photoelectric interrupter 9, the pulse signal of exporting from this photoelectric interrupter 9 switches to high level (H level) from low level (L level).Big drop district 61f like this constitutes the starting point part.
Reference region 61a is when energized etc. or is used for fixing the zone of position of the optical axis direction of lens unit 4 when being used as fixed-focus shooting under the common shooting state, specifically, position along optical axis direction and make lens unit 4 focus in the overfocus position.Thus, for example do not need collimator etc., can be easy and suitably carry out the adjustment of the focusing state of lens unit 4, can carry out the shooting of the subject in the fixed-focus preferablyly.
In addition, reference region 61a becomes the reference position, this reference position is used for being positioned at planar section before and after the AF district 61e when crossing unlimited far field 61b and utmost point near region 61d and carry out automatic focus and handle, and makes lens unit 4 focus and like that lens unit 4 is located at optical axis direction with respect to imaging apparatus 3 crossing infinity position and utmost point near position.Promptly, snap under the state of reference region 61a at the overlap 53a of urceolus 5, the adjustment of the focusing state by carrying out lens unit 4 makes optical imagery imaging on the photoelectric conversion units 3a of imaging apparatus 3, when this lens unit 4 being carried out the automatic focus processing, even moved to infinity position and utmost point near position, the optical imagery of lens unit 4 is imaging on the photoelectric conversion units 3a of imaging apparatus 3 also.
AF district 61e is used for handling (aftermentioned) by automatic focus to make the zone of lens unit 4 along the optical axis direction displacement, constitutes the dip plane part.Its downside becomes a distant place one side, and upside becomes utmost point near region 61d one side.That is, slide along this AF district 61e, can change the distance of lens unit 4 for the optical axis direction of the photoelectric conversion units 3a of imaging apparatus 3 by overlap 53a.Thus, make overlap 53a snap into the more upside of AF district 61e by driving cam member 6, can aim at focus from more close utmost point near region 61d one side, in addition, snap into more below one side of AF district 61e by the overlap 53a that makes lens unit 4, can aim at focus from more close distant place district one side.
In addition, the zone of the downside of AF district 61e becomes to be used for positioning along optical axis direction and makes the focus zone in a distant place of lens unit 4.
Here, so-called distant place district is the zone that constitutes than the position on the overfocus subject also far away by focusing, and is the zone that comprised unlimited far field.
Crossing unlimited far field 61b becomes to be used for positioning along optical axis direction and makes lens unit 4 cross infinity camera lens fixed position what cross the focusing of infinity position, constitutes in two horizontal components.
Here, the so-called infinity position of crossing is that the shooting multiplying power is positive zone specifically, is more to be in the opposite side of utmost point near region 61d than unlimited far field, can be the side focusing of the focus of lens unit 4 than more unlimited far field, unlimited far field.That is, the predetermined resin of the 1st camera lens the 41, the 2nd camera lens 42 of formation lens unit 4 and the 3rd camera lens 43 is for example according to environmental baselines such as temperature or humidity, and refractive index might change, in this case, and the unlimited far field of can not focusing.Therefore, even the change of the refractive index of resin can not also can be displaced to a 61d opposite side in utmost point near region to focusing position according to crossing unlimited far field 61b from the unlimited far field focusing under the common state, can suitably aim at focus from unlimited far field one side.
Utmost point near region 61 is to be used for positioning along optical axis direction making the focus zone of utmost point close-shot image position of lens unit 4, constitutes in two horizontal components another.Snap into state on the 61d of this utmost point near region by the overlap 53a that becomes urceolus 5, lens unit 4 becomes the state (with reference to Fig. 6) that passes out to very near subject one side.At this moment, the distance of subject and lens unit 4 for example approximately is 5~30 (cm), image at whole the photographs file in the shooting district of imaging apparatus 3 (photoelectric conversion units 3a), perhaps in portable telephone of the present invention (aftermentioned), carry under the situation of camera head 100, can be utilized as the bar code reader to this camera head 100.
Horizontal gear (omitting diagram) engagement on the gear of lower disc part 62 and the lower outer periphery part that is formed on driving force transmission member 8.
In addition, in driving force transmission member 8, at the upside of this horizontal gear part helical teeth (omitting diagram) is set with one heart, worm screw 71 engagements on this helical teeth and the output shaft that is fixedly mounted on drive motor 7 with horizontal gear.
Here, the sense of rotation of driving force transmission member 8 becomes makes lens unit 4 when distant place camera position moves to utmost point close-shot image position, and by the engagement of worm screw 71 with helical teeth, this driving force transmission member 8 is pressed towards the direction of substrate 2 one sides.Promptly, lens unit 4 since by pressing member 11 from light source one side pressure to substrate 2 one sides, therefore making in AF district 61 under the situation that lens unit 4 moves along optical axis direction, is very desirable aspect the bearing accuracy of the optical axis direction of raising lens unit 4 so that become that the mode of the such direction of driving force transmission member 8 pressed towards substrate 2 one sides rotates.
In other words, carrying out automatic focus when preferably helical teeth being arranged in sending of lens unit 4 handles under the situation of (aftermentioned), by sending lens unit 4, make driving force transmission member 8 be pressed towards substrate 2 one sides, when being arranged in the withdrawal of lens unit 4, carries out under the situation of automatic focusing process helical teeth, make that driving force transmission member 8 is pressed towards substrate 2 one sides by regaining lens unit 4.
Drive motor 7 for example is a stepper motor isopulse motor, according to the pulse from CPU10a output input, according to predetermined one by one angle stepper drive rotor.Thus, through screw rod 71 and driving force transmission member 8 cam member 6 is rotated along predetermined direction around the axle of optical axis direction.
Photoelectric interrupter 9 is as detecting unit, constitutes to possess: detect with vane member 54, can be sent to detected information conversion one-tenth the function of the pulse signal of control module 10.
Specifically, for example, constitute and possess: light projector (omitting diagram) with the ultrared infrared diode of irradiation; The irradiated infrared ray of sensitization, the photoreceptor (omitting diagram) that the pulse signal to control module output is changed according to the sensitization result.Between light projector and photoreceptor, that is, be arranged under the state of ultrared light path with vane member 54 in detection, if shine infrared ray to photoreceptor from light projector, then block with vane member 54, so photoreceptor can the sensitization infrared ray owing to infrared ray is detected.At this moment, photoelectric interrupter 9 outputs to control module 10 to the pulse signal of L level.On the other hand, be not arranged under the state of ultrared light path with vane member 54 in detection, if the irradiation infrared ray, then by the irradiated infrared ray of photoreceptor sensitization, photoelectric interrupter 9 outputs to control module 10 to the pulse signal of H level.
Here, illustrate by cam member 6 and rotate on optical axis and overlap 53a outputs to the pulse signal of control module 10 when sliding along the cam surface 611 of overhead cam part 61 when mobile from photoelectric interrupter 9 in big drop district 61f.
Overlap joint unit 53a is by moving from the top down in big drop district 61f, the detection that is arranged in the light path of photoelectric interrupter 9 is left from this light path with vane member 54, taking this as an opportunity, switches to the H level from the level of the pulse signal of photoelectric interrupter 9 output from the L level.
Promptly, if photoelectric interrupter 9 overlap 53a arrive big drop district 61f, then by detecting with vane member 54 from the state variation that is arranged in ultrared light path, thereby the pulse signal of H level is outputed to control module 10 as detection signal to the state that leaves.
Control module 10 the pulse signal that arrives the H level that big drop district 61f exports according to overlap 53a as reference pulse signal, by the number of pulse signals (umber of pulse) of counting, judge the position of overlap 53a from the motor of reference pulse signal generation.
Here, arrived big drop district 61f through detecting, so the detection position is different with the relative difference of height of vane member 54 according to photoelectric interrupter 9 and detection with vane member 54 detection overlap 53a.
Specifically, for example, because according to scale error that detects each parts of using vane member 54 grades or installation accuracy etc., and different in each camera head 100, therefore between the individuality of camera head 100, in the detection position of output reference pulse signal, produce error range σ.
Here, so-called " error range σ " means detected overlap 53a by photoelectric interrupter 9 when having arrived big drop district 61f, the scope of the dispersiveness of the detection position that produces between the individuality of camera head.
Specifically, as detecting overlap 53a under the state of position (middle position) P1 of the length direction substantial middle that snaps into big drop district 61f at overlap 53a, having regulated when detecting with the size of vane member 54 or photoelectric interrupter 9 or installation is that example describes.
In this case, " error range σ " means the length of the scope that the detection error σ 2 by the error of detection position P3 that detects overlap 53a as the detection error σ 1 of the error of detection position P2 that detects overlap 53a under the state on border that snaps into big drop district 61f and utmost point near region 61d at overlap 53a and middle position P1, conduct under overlap 53a snaps into state among the both sides of big drop district 61f and reference region 61a and middle position P1 constitutes.In addition, producing under the situation that detects error σ 3, σ 4, mean the length of the scope that comprises this detection error σ 3, σ 4 according to characteristic that each camera head possessed etc.Thereby,, produce error range σ 5 as the maximum error scope that between the individuality of camera head, produces.
Here, constitute in each regional length of cam surface 611, the length of crossing unlimited far field 61b and utmost point near region 61d is roughly suitable, in addition, reference region 61a possessed roughly 2 times the length of unlimited far field 61b, AF district 61e possessed roughly 3 times the length of unlimited far field 61b, and the length of small drop district 61c is all lacked than any regional length.In addition, the length of unlimited far field 61b of mistake and utmost point near region 61d is the length more than or equal to error range σ 5.
Control module 10 is used to control automatic focus to be handled, and more particularly, as shown in Figure 3, possesses CPU10a, RAM10b, storage unit 10c.In addition, control module 10 is electrically connected with imaging apparatus 3, drive motor 7, photoelectric interrupter 9 through bus B.
CPU (CPU (central processing unit)) 10a totally controls the each several part that constitutes this camera head 100, reads the preset program that is kept among the storage unit 10c and launches in the workspace of RAM10b, carries out various processing according to this program.
RAM (random access memory) 10b is formed under the control of CPU10a the memory block of the program of reading from storage unit 10c or data etc. or workspace etc.
Storage unit 10c is stored in the following various programs of carrying out of control of CPU10a and the data relevant with the processing of various programs etc. for example by RAM (ROM (read-only memory)) or EEPRAM formations such as (electric erazable programmable ROM).Specifically, storage unit 10c for example stores the automatic focus handling procedure.
The automatic focus handling procedure is as the automatic focus disposal route in CPU10a, when the shooting of subject, the driving of controlling and driving motor 7 is carried out in realization, the urceolus 5 that keeps lens unit 4 is moved along optical axis direction, adjust the functional programs that the automatic focus of the focusing position of this lens unit 4 is handled automatically.
Here, automatic focus is handled for example under the control of CPU10a, cam member 6 is rotated along predetermined direction, slide on cam surface 611 by the overlap 53a that makes urceolus 5, when lens unit 4 is moved between camera position and the utmost point close-shot image position in the distance, obtain view data by taking subject.And CPU10a is kept at obtained frequency analysis data in the RAM10b in proper order by the characteristic frequency analysis in a plurality of focuses adjustment position of carrying out obtained view data.And then CPU10a is according to the frequency analysis data that is kept in the RAM10b, and the focus of estimating this view data is adjusted the focusing state of the optical imagery of this subject in the position, and the camera position of evaluation of estimate the best is defined as focusing position.
In this case, CPU10a is just changeing drive motor 7, make lens unit 4 move to the precalculated position of utmost point close-shot image position from distant place camera position, after the camera position that finds evaluation of estimate the best, by making drive motor 7 counter-rotatings, make cam member 6 counter-rotatings, make lens unit 4 move to distant place camera position from utmost point close-shot image position.And, drive motor 7 is just being changeed, make lens unit 4 move to the camera position control of evaluation of estimate the best.In this case, for example, consider to can be compared to this Offset portion most and return some more by the skew of the counter-rotating generation of drive motor 7.
In addition, under the situation that is set at " grand pattern ", CPU10a does not carry out automatic focus and handles, and makes lens unit 4 move to utmost point near region 61d.
In addition, in automatic focus is handled, change, so that make lens unit 4 move to utmost point close-shot image position along a direction from distant place camera position, compare the number of steps that the image in next AF district 61e is taken into an AF district 61e on the cam surface 611 that is arranged on cam member 6 trickleer.Promptly, in an AF district 61e, search for the target of the good camera position of evaluation of estimate, be stored to the umber of pulse from reference region 61a of the camera position that becomes this target in advance, according to this umber of pulse, in next AF district 61e, becoming target camera position near fine carry out being taken into of image, thereby can more suitably carry out the evaluation of the focusing state of optical imagery.
When the starting of camera head, can detect the starting point part by making the cam unit along a direction rotation, the state that once drives when stopping before therefore not relying on can detect the starting point part, thereby can start with simple control.In addition, cam portion is owing to be the rotation shape that does not have terminal point, do not detect starting point and partly waits the mistake that causes even therefore photoelectric interrupter 9 takes place, and also can not produce obstacle in the tectosome of cam unit.
