In the lens barrel 1 of present embodiment with above-mentioned structure, when being in camera lens contraction state shown in Figure 2, if drive zoom motor 71, driving cam frame 4 stretches out on the direction at camera lens and rotates, then above-mentioned each cam path will make above-mentioned each cam follower move along optical axis zero direction, first group of frame 6, second group of frame 10, the 3rd group of frame 12 and the 4th group of frame 14 arrive wide-angle position respectively, become the state (Fig. 3) that can carry out wide angle shot.Therefore, thus driving the 5th group of frame 15 advance and retreat by above-mentioned focusing driving mechanism portion moves and focuses on the photography of just practicable wide-angle state.And then when driving zoom motor 71 in the same direction, above-mentioned each frame arrives long-focus position, just can carry out the photography (Fig. 4) under the long-focus state.Drive zoom motor 71 counter-rotatings, and driving cam frame 4 is when rotating on the camera lens shrinkage direction, the camera lens punctured position that above-mentioned each frame is just withdrawn shown in Figure 2.
When owing to reason such as dropping, when making lens barrel 1 be subjected to impact force action, for example, when being subjected to the impact of optical axis zero direction, this impact force action is between each cam follower 31~35 and cam path 4b~4d.Because the profile of above-mentioned cam follower is respectively the shape that is formed with circular conical surface, therefore above-mentioned impulsive force becomes the strength that cam follower is released to its direction of principal axis for cam path, in other words, becomes the strength of releasing to optical axis zero direction.For first group of frame 6 and second group of frame 10, because cam follower is disposed at three directions on the side face, or be disposed on the position of the relative both direction of direction, therefore the position of first group of frame 6 or second group of frame 10 not too can change on the direction of one-sided because of above-mentioned impulsive force.Therefore, the possibility that comes off from cam path of the cam follower of first group of frame 6 and second group of frame 10 is less.
On the other hand, the 3rd, the 4th group of frame 12,14 disposes a cam follower 34,35 respectively.The 3rd group of frame 12 is subjected to the circular conical surface extruding of above-mentioned cam follower because of above-mentioned impulsive force, thereby extruding will be gone up the leading axle 21 that changes the position in optical axis zero direction (optical axis vertical direction).Leading axle 21 is because span is longer, therefore will be to the bending of above-mentioned optical axis vertical direction, the partial offset that it is crooked at the protuberance 12e of cam follower 34 phase negative sides' the 3rd group of frame 12 and the gap S1 (Fig. 8) between second fixed frame, the 3 inner peripheral surface 3a, thereby this protuberance of butt 12e.Operate the bending that can suppress leading axle 21 by this butt, consequently, can stop positively that cam follower 34 comes off from cam path 4d.
In addition, the 4th group of frame 14 also is subjected to the circular conical surface extruding of above-mentioned cam follower owing to above-mentioned impulsive force, thereby extruding will be gone up the leading axle 23 that changes the position in optical axis zero direction (optical axis vertical direction).And leading axle 21 also is subjected to 12 extruding of the 3rd group of frame, and both sides' leading axle all will produce flexural deformation.Yet, the partial offset that it is crooked gap S2 (Fig. 9) between the inner peripheral surface 3a of the protuberance 14e of cam follower 35 phase negative sides' the 4th group of frame 14 and second fixed frame 3, thereby this protuberance of butt 14e.Meanwhile, also offset the thickening part 14d of the 4th group of frame 14 and the gap S3 of leading axle 24, thus thickening part 14d butt leading axle 24.And, the 4th group of frame 14 is because the bending of leading axle 23, thereby will tilt to produce change in location to optical axis zero, but because offset and cam follower 35 the same side and departing from the protuberance 14c of the 4th group of frame 14 of optical axis zero direction position and the inner peripheral surface 3a of second fixed frame 3 between gap S4 (Fig. 9), thereby butt protuberance 14c, therefore the inclination of the 4th group of frame 14 is also controlled.As mentioned above, by the butt thickening part, but the inclination of crooked or the 4th group of frame 14 of restricting guide axle 21,23 can more positively stop cam follower 35 to come off from cam path 4e.
And, each protuberance of the 3rd group of frame 13 of lens barrel 1, the 4th group of frame 14 or thickening part are not having under the common state of impact force action, can keep and the inner peripheral surface 3a of second fixed frame 3 or the state of leading axle 24 maintenance predetermined gap S1~S4, therefore can not increase the load of zoom motor 71.
In addition, the above-mentioned action direction that acts on the impulsive force of lens barrel is the direction of hypothesis along optical axis zero.But be not limited to this, for example when direction perpendicular to the impulsive force of optical axis zero (from the come off impulsive force of direction side of cam follower) when having an effect, and each picture frame parts is when producing distortion, thereby also can be by preventing that with above-mentioned same action cam follower from coming off.
As mentioned above, use the lens barrel of present embodiment, when lens barrel drops, can prevent that cam follower from coming off from cam path, and can not increase the load resistance that drives the lens advance and retreat, and the structure of this lens barrel is also very simple.In addition, the picture frame of the lens barrel of present embodiment structure, its lens barrel that can be used as silver salt film camera certainly uses.
According to the present invention, a kind of lens barrel can be provided, it can prevent to come off from cam path because of reasons such as lens barrel drops cause cam follower, and can not increase load resistance and the simple structure that drives the lens advance and retreat.
The present invention is not limited only to above-mentioned embodiment, in the scope that does not break away from its major technique thought, the implementation phase practicable various other distortion.And then, in the above-described embodiment, comprise the invention in each stage, can be by disclosed a plurality of constitutive requirements be made appropriate combination, thus various inventions can be proposed.
As long as can solve problem to be solved by this invention, and can obtain effect of the present invention, for example, even in disclosed whole constitutive requirements from embodiment, delete several constitutive requirements, this structure of deleting these constitutive requirements still can be used as the present invention and proposes.
