Next, the assemble method that the lens barrel 11 of present embodiment is assembled into supporting mass 16 is described.
At first, with lens barrel shown in Figure 3 11 in the resettlement section 26 that the retainer 21 that is inserted into the supporting mass 16 of packing into of keeping straight on is formed.As mentioned above, the inner peripheral surface 26a of lens barrel 11 and outer peripheral face 11a and resettlement section 26 is the face of cylinder, and described inner peripheral surface 26a constitutes the guide surface with respect to described outer peripheral face 11a.Therefore, can make the inner peripheral surface 26a slip of the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 along described resettlement section 26, direction (Z2) is inserted to the back-end as the crow flies.
Fig. 1 represents the state after lens barrel 11 is inserted into the resettlement section 26 of supporting mass 16.As shown in Figure 3, be formed with a plurality of first stopper sections 15, be formed with a plurality of second stopper sections 27 at the leading section 21a of retainer 21 in addition at the peripheral part of the front of lens barrel 11.In the time of in the resettlement section 26 that described lens barrel 11 is inserted into supporting mass 16, the first stop surface 15a backstop that is formed by the dip plane of described first stopper section 15 is at the second stop surface 27a as the front end face of second stopper section 27.When first stopper section 15 and second stopper section, 27 butts, can't make under the described lens barrel 11 non-rotary states its craspedodrome ground direction (Z2) insertion to the back-end.Next, lens barrel 11 is carried out fine height adjustment (focusing).
As shown in Figure 1, in the height control (focusing) that lens barrel 11 is contained in the resettlement section 26 and carries out lens barrel 11 subsequently before, can be in advance in the tool insert hole 14 that is located at lens barrel 11 filling be in the thermosetting resin 30 of unhardened state.Be coated with described thermosetting resin 30 in advance before also can be in the resettlement section 26 of lens barrel shown in Figure 3 11 being inserted supporting masses 16.
Instrument 31 shown in Figure 1 is provided with the handle portion 32 that forms ring-type and from described handle portion 32 four arms 33 extending of direction to the inside.Same with tool insert hole 14, each arm 33 forms along 90 ° of ground of spaced around of handle portion 32.The front end of each arm 33 is crooked and have the jut 33a of (Z2) extension downwards, and each jut 33a has the profile with described tool insert hole 14 roughly the same shapes.
As shown in Figure 4, each jut 33a is inserted in each tool insert hole 14.And, the handle portion 32 of instrument 31 is for example rotated to counter clockwise direction CCW.
Shown in Fig. 5 (a), when tool using 31 (omission instrument 31 in the local amplification stereogram at Fig. 5) makes lens barrel 11 when counter clockwise direction CCW rotates, the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 slides on the inner peripheral surface 26a as the resettlement section 26 of guide surface, thereby lens barrel 11 is suitably rotated.
Shown in Fig. 5 (a), be formed on retainer 21 leading section 21a a part second stopper section 27 the second stop surface 27a be formed on the first stop surface 15a butt of first stopper section 15 of lens barrel 11.If tool using 31 makes lens barrel 11 to counter clockwise direction CCW rotation under this state, shown in Fig. 5 (b), relatively move on the first stop surface 15a that the second stop surface 27a of second stopper section 27 forms in the dip plane by first stopper section 15.Therefore, can be with state on short transverse the jack-up of lens barrel 11 from Fig. 5 (a), thereby can use the utilization that constitutes by first stopper section 15 and second stopper section 27 portion of height control mechanism 34 of cam mechanism carry out trickle height control (focusing).
In the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 5 (b), finish afterwards the height control (focusing) of lens barrel 11, can under the state of described instrument 31 not being pulled down from tool insert hole 14, make thermosetting resin 30 sclerosis, the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 is fixed in after the inner peripheral surface 26a of retainer 21, pulls down described instrument 31.
Perhaps, consolidation method as 21 of bonding lens barrel 11 and retainers, also can not be pre-charged with thermosetting resin 30 grafting materials such as grade, but afterwards instrument 31 is pulled down from tool insert hole 14 in the height control of finishing shown in Fig. 5 (b) (focusing), in described tool insert hole 14, fill grafting material and make it affixed.Perhaps, be not pre-charged with thermosetting resin 30 grafting materials such as grade, but finish shown in Fig. 5 (b) height control (focusing) afterwards, before instrument 31 pulled down from tool insert hole 14, inject grafting material from the gap of recess 28, lens barrel 11 and the retainer 21 in interior week of being located at described retainer 21, thereby make between the inner peripheral surface 26a of the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 and retainer 21 affixed, more preferably, after instrument 31 is pulled down from tool insert hole 14, in described tool insert hole 14, further fill grafting material and carry out affixed.
In the present embodiment, form tool insert hole 14 even penetrate into rear end side from front (Z1) (Z2), also can be suitably and easily tool using 31 carry out height control (focusing), thereby not needing to realize the camera assembly of helicitic texture.In addition, because tool insert hole 14 is set, so can enlarge the inner space 12 of lens barrel 11 at the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11.
Wherein, described tool insert hole 14 forms the recess at the end, promptly is preferably not form from front (Z1) to connect to rear end side (Z2).
Shown in the local amplification view as shown in Figure 6, in the present embodiment, tool insert hole 14 the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 form from the front end face 11b of lens barrel 11 to rearward end direction (Z2) midway.Like this, owing to being provided with tool insert hole 14 in the position of outer peripheral face 11a and only tool insert hole 14 being formed into midway, so as shown in Figure 6, can enlarge the inner space 12 of lens barrel 11, especially can simply and suitably form maximum in the rearward end 12a side that is not formed with described tool insert hole 14.As shown in Figure 6, rearward end 12a in the inner space 12 of Figure 11 can keep lens diameter to be the lens of T3, and is compared with the past, can be the lens of T3 at the bigger lens diameter of rearward end configuration of lens barrel 11, thus can the superior suitable lens component of composing images quality.In Fig. 6, the inner space 12 of lens barrel 11 is the narrowest in leading section 12b side, becomes the width between leading section 12b and the rearward end 12a at pars intermedia 12c place, thereby can keep having a plurality of lens of different lens diameters.
And, described tool insert hole 14 forms the recess at the end, promptly form in the mode that does not run through rear end side (Z2) from front (Z1), even thereby with the filler opening of tool insert hole 14 as grafting material, can not occur the problem that grafting material flows out to the rear of retainer 21 (Z2) yet, thereby carry out affixed simple and reliablely between can inner peripheral surface 26a the outer peripheral face 11a of lens barrel 11 and retainer 21.
Fig. 7 is the stereographic map of the lens barrel of second embodiment, Fig. 8 is the local amplification stereogram of retainer of supporting mass of packing into, Fig. 9 is formed in the amplification stereogram of second stopper section on the retainer, and to be expression be inserted into the partial perspective view of the camera assembly of the state behind the resettlement section of retainer with lens barrel to Figure 10.
In lens barrel shown in Figure 7 40, the parts different with the lens barrel 11 of Fig. 3 are the shape of first stopper section 41.That is, in Fig. 3, though the first stop surface 15a of first stopper section 15 forms the dip plane, the first stop surface 41a of first stopper section 41 shown in Figure 7 is and the parallel face of surface level (X-Y).
Fig. 8, retainer 42 shown in Figure 9 are similarly annular with retainer shown in Figure 2 21, are formed with resettlement section 46 in centre.Be formed with second stopper section 43 at the upper end of retainer 42 42a, but the second stop surface 43a and Fig. 2 different terrain that are positioned at the front end face of described second stopper section 43 become the dip plane.The second stop surface 43a that forms with described dip plane forms linearity when observing from the side.
And, as shown in figure 10, under making lens barrel 40 non-rotary states, it directly is inserted in the resettlement section 46 of retainer 42, under the state of the second stop surface 43a butt of the first stop surface 41a of first stopper section 41 and second stopper section 43, instrument shown in Figure 1 31 and Fig. 4 similarly are inserted in the tool insert hole 45 of Figure 10 and make it to clockwise direction CW or CCW direction rotation counterclockwise.At this moment, when making its rotation under the state that instrument is pressed into back extreme direction (Z2), the first stop surface 41a of first stopper section 41 of lens barrel 40 moves on the second stop surface 43a of second stopper section 43 that forms the dip plane, thus, can carry out trickle height control (focusing) to lens barrel 40 with high precision.
As shown in figure 10, retainer is identical with the situation shown in above-mentioned with consolidation method between lens barrel, by fill grafting material 47 in the tool insert hole 45 of the recess that end shape is arranged (blind alley), can make between lens barrel 40 and the retainer 42 affixed simple and reliablely.
In addition, because tool insert hole 45 forms from the front end face of lens barrel 40 to back extreme direction (Z2) midway, so can form maximumly at rearward end side place the inner space of lens barrel 40, thereby lens that can lens diameter is big be arranged on the rearward end side of described inner space effectively.
Though described camera assembly is the structure of focusing automatically, it also goes for the manual focus structure (drive division not being set at supporting mass) of non-automatic focusing.
By present embodiment being applicable to automatic focusing structure, can be simple and reliablely lens barrel and and the retainer that together moves of lens barrel between carry out affixed, in addition, at this moment, can prevent that outflows waits undesirable condition beyond grafting material is between retainer and lens barrel, thus can be simply and stably form the automatic structure of focusing.And, second stopper section can be set in the upper end of retainer, thereby can between lens barrel and retainer, suitably form portion of height control mechanism and built-in structure.
