Lens unit 2, has the first single-lens 2a near object (body is taken) side, with next near the second single-lens 2b of object side with near the 3rd single-lens 2c of solid-state imager 3 with as the maintenance frame 2d of the mobile lens barrel that keeps single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c.
Keeping frame 2d, is the big large cylinder portion of little little cylindrical portion of diameter and diameter to be formed make little cylindrical portion integrally formed on the end of large cylinder portion after concentric.The neighboring of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c is fixed on the inner peripheral surface that keeps frame 2d, these single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c are fixed on after by aligning and keep on the frame 2d, specifically, any optical axis among single- lens 2a, 2b, the 2c all is consistent with the center line that keeps frame 2d.In addition, also can be arranged on the inboard that keeps frame 2d to aperture board with peristome of stipulating these single- lens 2a, 2b, all F numbers of 2c.
Extension 2e is arranged on the outer peripheral face that keeps frame 2d with keeping frame 2d with being integral, and this extension 2e vertically extends with respect to the center line that keeps frame 2d.From the former end of extension 2e to the pars intermedia the nose, be formed with through hole 2f, it and keep the central shaft of frame 2d to be parallel shape.Above-mentioned guide rail 4 is inserted in this through hole 2f free sliding, and like this, lens unit 2 integral body are with guide rail 4 guiding, can with solid-state imager 3 free approaching, leave.
The shape of cross section of guide rail 4 is that any distance is different shapes (as polygon, non-circular) with distance from centroid of section to another point of outline limit, cross section to outline limit, cross section from centroid of section.The opening shape of through hole 2f, in fact the shape of cross section with this guide rail 4 is consistent, lens unit 2 is not the center rotation with the xsect center of gravity of guide rail 4.
Under the state that lens unit 2 is being supported on the guide rail 4, the optical axis of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c in the sensitive surface of solid-state imager 3 in the heart, actual is to be vertical with sensitive surface, from solid-state imager 3, by the series arrangement of the 3rd single-lens 2c, the second single-lens 2b, the first single-lens 2a.
In the mobile range of lens unit 2, lens unit 2 is on the position of the most close solid-state imager 3, its single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c all can make picture, the imaging on solid-state imager 3 of the regulation object plane of leaving from lens unit 2, but single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c all can become pan focus state (Fig. 1 (b)).On the other hand, lens unit 2 in the mobile range of lens unit 2, leaving on solid-state imager 3 position farthest, the depth of field that all constitutes by these single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c, compare with the situation of pan focus state and to shoal, but, single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c are all, make than of picture on solid-state imager 3 imaging of afore mentioned rules object plane near the object plane of lens unit 2, by single- lens 2a, 2b, all field depths that forms of 2c, than more close solid-state imager 3 one sides of pan focus state (figure (a)).Below, the position of the most close solid-state imager 3 in the mobile range of lens unit 2 is called common camera positions, solid-state imager 3 position farthest of leaving in lens unit 2 mobile ranges is called close-shot shadow position.
One end of spring 5, to the nose of extension 2e, be connected with extension 2e, the other end of spring 5 links with the bottom surface of main body 7 from the through hole 2f of extension 2e.This spring 5, by extension 2e to keeping the frame 2d application of force, so that keep frame 2d, especially along the optical axis and the parallel direction application of force of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c near solid-state imager 3.In addition, lens unit 2, even when being positioned at common camera positions, spring 5 is in than the long naturally state that prolongs, and always applies elastic force and makes lens unit 2 near solid-state imager 3.
Rod unit 6 is set at application of force direction one side of spring 5 with respect to extension 2e, and extends from the outside of the interior side direction main body 7 of main body 7.From at an end of the rod unit 6 of these main body 7 inboards to the pars intermedia rod unit 6 other ends in main body 7 outsides, than extension 2e nose on the position that the bearing of trend of extension 2e prolongs, rotate around the axle center parallel and freely to be supported on the main body 7 with the optical axis of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c.
On an end of the rod unit 6 that is positioned at main body 7 inboards, be formed with cam surface 6a.Fig. 3 is look up from the radius of turn side of rod unit 6 an end diagrammatic sketch of rod unit 6 of expression, and cam surface 6a when towards the bearing of trend of extension 2e (that is, rod unit 6 vertically) when seeing, is that the surfaces of revolution with respect to rod unit 6 tilts.That is, this cam surface 6a, the revolution direction of the rod unit 6 among its Fig. 2 be rotated counterclockwise side, than the surfaces of revolution height of rod unit 6, the dextrorotation of revolution direction change one's position and the surfaces of revolution of rod unit 6 same substantially high.In addition, because the axis of rotation of rod unit 6 becomes parallel with the optical axis of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c, so the surfaces of revolution of rod unit 6 is vertical for the optical axis of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c.
As Fig. 1~shown in Figure 3, the nose portion of above-mentioned extension 2e is abutted against mutually with this cam surface 6a, and this cam surface 6a accepts the elastic force that spring 5 is applied, and is supported the nose portion of described extension 2e by this cam surface 6a for the power of antagonistic spring 5.
In addition, the rotatable scope of rod unit 6, utilize not shown limiting mechanism (as the stop that can be abutted against with rod unit 6), be limited in being rotated counterclockwise the primary importance of the cam surface 6a end of side being abutted against mutually and play the second place that be abutted against mutually cam surface 6a end that extension 2e and the dextrorotation of revolution direction change one's position from extension 2e and the revolution direction of rod unit 6.
Below, describe with regard to the using method of the image unit 1 of the above formation and the effect of image unit 1.
At first, when the user with rod unit 6 when counter clockwise direction is rotated, extension 2e, the state that is abutted against with elastic force and cam surface 6a by spring 5 are along cam surface 6a, slide with respect to cam surface 6a, thereupon, lens unit 2 moves to the direction near solid-state imager 3.And shown in the double dot dash line as shown in Figure 3, extension 2e and cam surface 6a are abutted against the position, become the minimum second place that the revolution direction dextrorotation of rod unit 6 is changed one's position, and shown in Fig. 1 (b), lens unit 2 is positioned at common camera positions.Even lens unit 2 is positioned at common camera positions, spring 5 also is under the state than long prolongation naturally, by the direction application of force of 5 pairs of lens units 2 of spring to close solid-state imager 3, but, because extension 2e resists this elastic force and is abutted against mutually with cam surface 6a, so suppressed moving of lens unit 2.
Here, because the effect of spring 5, lens unit 2 is in by the state of the application of force, because of this power is born by cam 6a, so the optical axis of lens unit 2 by aligning in the sensitive surface of solid-state imager 3 in the heart, vertical with its sensitive surface, lens unit 2 can not rock like this.In addition, owing to lens unit 2 is pulled to solid-state imager 3 one sides by spring 5, so lens unit 2 can not move to the direction of leaving solid-state imager 3.
On the other hand, as user during to clockwise direction swingle parts 6, extension 2e is by the power of spring 5, to carry out relative slip with state that cam surface 6a is abutted against along cam surface 6a,, the power of lens unit 2 antagonistic springs 5, moves to the direction of leaving solid-state imager 3 thereupon.And shown in the solid line of Fig. 3, the position of being abutted against of extension 2e and cam surface 6a is the highest primary importance that the revolution direction of bar portion 6 is rotated counterclockwise side, and shown in Fig. 1 (a), lens unit 2 is positioned at close-shot shadow position.Even lens unit 2 is positioned at close-shot shadow position, because the effect of spring 5, also to the direction application of force of lens unit 2 to close solid-state imager 3, but owing to extension 2e is abutted against with cam surface 6a mutually for resisting its elastic force, so suppressed moving of lens unit 2.At this, the power of bearing spring 5 by cam surface 6a, so the optical axis of lens unit 2 by aligning at the sensitive surface center of solid-state imager 3 and vertical with its sensitive surface, like this, lens unit 2 can not rock.
As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, always the spring force by spring 5 acts on maintenance frame 2d, and cam surface 6a always antagonistic spring 5 power and be abutted against with extension 2e, therefore, lens unit 2 can not rock, and the optical axis of lens unit 2 can be by aligning at the sensitive surface center of solid-state imager 3 and vertical with its sensitive surface.In addition, this image unit 1 is the structure of having assembled lens unit 2, lens displacing mechanism 10 and solid-state imager 3, so this image unit 1 is small-sized imaging and camera head.In addition, when making image unit 1, to single- lens 2a, 2b, when 2c carries out aligning, though single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c are pushed to solid-state imager 3, because its load when pushing born by cam surface 6a, so lens unit 2 can not rock.
(second embodiment)
In above-mentioned first embodiment, the mobile range of lens unit 2 be from common camera positions to close-shot shadow position, but in a second embodiment, as shown in Figure 4, the mobile range of lens unit 2 is compared with first embodiment and is expanded solid-state imager 3 one sides to.At this, Fig. 4 has represented the side view with 101 part disconnections of the image unit among second embodiment.Followingly image unit 101 is described with reference to Fig. 4, on image unit 101, for the identical part mark and identical symbol of any part of the image unit 1 of first embodiment, and the explanation of omitting same section.
Shown in Fig. 4 (a), when lens unit 2 from solid-state imager 3 farthest the time, identical with the situation of first embodiment, be close-shot shadow position, shown in Fig. 4 (c), when the most close solid-state imager 3 of lens unit 2, the object plane that all forms by single- lens 2a, 2b, the 2c infinity that becomes, simultaneously, the imaging surface that is all formed by single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c becomes the sensitive surface of solid-state imager 3.That is, when the most close solid-state imager 3 of camera lens 2, all picture side focal length of the sensitive surface distance from all picture side interarea of single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c to solid-state imager 3 and single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c is unanimous on the whole.And, in a second embodiment, make the position of the solid-state imager 3 in the lens unit 2 the most close mobile ranges be called the infinity camera positions.In addition, although lens unit 2 is to be positioned on the infinity camera positions, spring 5 also is to be in than the long naturally state that prolongs, and the power of spring 5 can play a role in the direction that makes lens unit 2 near solid-state imager 3.
As shown in Figure 4, when lens unit 2 from the assigned position of infinity camera positions to close-shot shadow position the time, same with the situation of first embodiment, be common camera positions, single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c all become the pan focus state.
In addition, the mobile range of lens unit 2 is along with enlarging to solid-state imager 3 one sides than first embodiment, and the rotatable scope of rod unit 6 also enlarges to Zhou Fangxiang than first embodiment, and the scope of cam surface 6a also enlarges to Zhou Fangxiang simultaneously.
Below, effect and using method with regard to the image unit 101 of second embodiment describe, when the user rod unit 6 when clockwise direction is rotated, shown in the solid line of Fig. 5, the position of being abutted against of extension 2e and cam surface 6a is the highest point that the direction of rod unit 6 is rotated counterclockwise side, and lens unit 2 is positioned at close-shot shadow position.
And, when the user rod unit 6 when counter clockwise direction is rotated, shown in the dot-and-dash line of Fig. 5, the position of being abutted against of extension 2e and cam surface 6a is a assigned position between highest point and the lowest part, lens unit 2 is positioned at common camera positions.
And, when the user rod unit 6 further when counter clockwise direction is rotated, shown in the double dot dash line of Fig. 5, the position of being abutted against of extension 2e and cam surface 6a is a lowest part, lens unit 2 is positioned at the infinity camera positions.
Lens unit 2 no matter be close-shot shadow position, usually camera positions, or any position of infinity camera positions on, effect by spring 5, also can force in the direction of close solid-state imager 3 to lens unit 2, simultaneously, because extension 2e resists its application of force and is abutted against with cam surface 6a, so camera lens 2 can not rock, the optical axis of lens unit 2 by aligning in the sensitive surface of solid-state imager 3 in the heart and vertical with its sensitive surface.In addition, in the aligning operation when making image unit 101, push single- lens 2a, 2b, 2c to solid-state imager 3, the load when it is pushed is to be born by cam surface 6a, so keep frame 2d can not rock.
