Here, referring to figs. 1 through 4, will describe a kind of light amount control apparatus, this light amount control apparatus is arranged in the digital camera 15, and comprises a blade 3 or aperture blades 1 that is used for regulating the light quantity that arrives image unit 42.
Shown in Fig. 1 to 4, blade 3, dividing plate 2, and aperture blades 1 be included in the substrate 5, and finally keep by a shutter cover 4.At the rear side of substrate 5, maintain an aperture blades drive part 6 and a blade drive part 7 that is used for driving blade 3 that is used for driving aperture blades 1.
Be provided with the 5a that opens that a light will pass near the center of substrate 5, and blade 3 is included in the front side of opening 5a.Operate among the recessed space segment 5b that blade 3 can form on substrate 5, and dividing plate 2 is included in the front side of blade 3.Dividing plate 2 is installed on the flat surface part 5c of substrate 5.Basically in the center of dividing plate 2, be formed with the dividing plate opening 2b of the optical aperture of a definite digital camera 15.Dividing plate opening 2b has the little area of area of opening 5a than substrate.Aperture blades 1 is included in the front side of dividing plate 2, and whole by shutter cover 4 maintenances, so that do not throw off with substrate 5.Being formed in the aperture blades 1 is an aperture openings 1a, and aperture is opened 1a less than dividing plate opening 2b.
Blade 3 opens and closes dividing plate opening 2b by blade drive part 7.Make aperture blades 1 with respect to dividing plate opening 2b move forward and backward (enter dividing plate opening 2b and from its withdrawal) by aperture blades drive part 6.Dividing plate 2 has a notch portion 2a, and is installed on the flat surface part 5c of substrate 5.Except that notch portion 2a and dividing plate opening 2b, the surface of aperture blades 1 respect to one another and dividing plate 2 is formed by flat surface, and unlike the state shown in Figure 15 A and 15B, be not used for the projection that reduces to rub between the apparent surface, thereby their thickness can reduce.
Fig. 2 and 3 is front views of light amount control apparatus.
Fig. 2 illustrates that aperture blades 1 has moved in the position on the dividing plate opening 2b, the state of aperture openings 1a on dividing plate opening 2b and base openings 5a.In this state, be arranged in the dividing plate 2 notch portion 2a from the front side as seen, and the aperture openings 1a of aperture blades 1 is not overlapping with notch portion 2a, but overlapping with dividing plate opening 2b.Under state shown in Figure 3, aperture blades 1 is withdrawn from dividing plate opening 2b.In this state, notch portion 2a and the aperture blades 1 that is arranged in the dividing plate 2 overlaps each other; The aperture openings 1a of aperture blades 1 is not overlapping with dividing plate opening 2b, but overlapping with notch portion 2a.
In this structure, under the state of dividing plate opening 2b and base openings 5a withdrawal, when for example being placed in the high humidity environment, the possibility that dewfall takes place is arranged between aperture blades 1 and dividing plate 2 when whole at as shown in Figure 3 aperture blades 1.Yet,,, make to reduce their contact forces separately owing to dewfall so might reduce contact area between dividing plate 2 and aperture blades 1 because notch portion 2a is arranged in the dividing plate 2.Thereby, even, also might drive aperture blades 1 reposefully being easy to produce in the adverse environment of dewfall.And, unlike the conventional example that shown in Figure 15 A and 15B, is provided with the projection that is used for reducing the friction between aperture blades and dividing plate, this embodiment adopts a kind of aperture blades 1 to carry out the structure that face supports by dividing plate 2, thus the worry that does not have aperture blades 1 to be bent.And, owing to do not have projection, and so the thickness that is occupied by dividing plate 2 is so littler, the feasible thickness that might reduce light amount control apparatus as a whole.
Should be noted that notch portion 2a only is provided with for the purpose that reduces the contact area between dividing plate 2 and aperture blades 1; Notch portion 2a is not intended for use passing through of any parts or inserts so that connect the parts that are arranged in dividing plate 2 either sides.And, to compare with the equitant state shown in Figure 2 of an aperture blades 1 and the part of notch portion 2a, the overlapping area between notch portion 2a and aperture blades 1 is bigger under state shown in Figure 3.
When the power supply of digital camera 15 was cut off, in other words, when not having drive signal to supply to light amount control apparatus, aperture blades 1 was in position as shown in Figure 3.What will present is that digital camera 15 is stayed under the off-position the most frequently.Therefore, make the overlapping area maximum of notch portion 2a and aperture blades 1, prevent that thus aperture blades 1 and dividing plate 2 are locked to each other.
Fig. 5 and 6 illustrates a kind of modification of this light amount control apparatus.The sort of difference shown in this light amount control apparatus and Fig. 1 to 4 only is that it is equipped with a dividing plate 52, rather than dividing plate 2.Dividing plate 52 has a plurality of notch portion 52a; Under the state on the base openings 5a, aperture blades 1 is not positioned on any notch portion 52a at the aperture openings 1a of aperture blades 1.By this way, be not limited to shown in Fig. 1 to 4 those in the shape and size of the notch portion that forms in the dividing plate, they also are not limited to as illustrated in Figures 5 and 6 those certainly.As long as realize purpose of the present invention, not about the restriction of the shape and size of the notch portion that in dividing plate, forms.
Secondly, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 13, the sequence of operations that the power supply of the digital camera 15 of above-mentioned light amount control apparatus is finished to photograph is housed with describing from connection.
When the user handles slip lens cap 18 when connecting the power switch 45 (#1) of digital camera 15, CPU 40 is to instruction of zoom motor-driven part 26 outputs, zoom motor 26a of (clockwise) rotation on the CW direction is so that stretch out the photographic lens tube 10 (#2) that is retracted in the retracted position.Then, when confirming the photograph location that photographic lens tube 10 has reached as shown in Figure 7, stop the driving (#3) of zoom motor 26a.
Secondly, when connecting release-push 11 (#4) by the user, carry out the photometry operation, obtaining information, and be calculated to the distance (#5) of object by a ranging unit 13b about object illumination by a photometry part 13a.Then, carry out whether showing that about the illuminance information that obtains illumination is higher than the judgement of predetermined luminous intensity; When it shows a higher illuminance (that is, when the answer in #6 is "Yes"), aperture blades 1 is placed in (see figure 2) in the optical axis, to change the amount (#7) that light passes through.On the other hand, and when the illuminance information that obtains shows that illumination is lower than predetermined luminous intensity (, when the answer in #6 is "No"), aperture blades 1 is not operated, and stays from the position (see figure 3) of optical axis withdrawal.
After this, drive a focusing motor 28a by focusing on motor-driven part 28, with operation focusing block 27, and according to the focus information driving photographic lens tube 10 that obtains from object distance, photographic lens is moved to the focal position (#8) of object, begin shooting (#9) herein.Secondly, blade 3 moves to off-position (#10) from open position, with the light quantity that blocking is passed through, finishes shooting (#11) thus.After this, aperture blades 1 is from optical axis withdrawal (#12), and focusing block 27 moves to initial position (#13), to finish this series operation.
Secondly, with reference to the process flow diagram of Figure 14, with the operation of describing when the user disconnects the power switch 45 of digital camera 15.
When the user disconnected the power switch 45 (#11) of digital camera 15, blade 3 at first moved to off-position (#12).Then, aperture blades 1 begins to move to the retracted position (see figure 3); When confirming that aperture blades 1 has moved to a precalculated position (#13), zoom motor 26a is by (on the CCW direction) rotation (#14) counterclockwise, and photographic lens tube 10 is withdrawn into a precalculated position (retracted position shown in Figure 7) (#15), finishes the operation when disconnecting power switch 45 thus.
By this way, in the light amount control apparatus of this embodiment, blade 3 and aperture blades 1 are arranged in the substrate 5, and dividing plate 2 is arranged between these two blades.Notch portion 2a is arranged on such position, make the aperture blades 1 of notch portion 2a and dividing plate 2 overlapping, and aperture blades 1 is withdrawn from dividing plate opening 2b.Thereby, even under the situation of high humility, also might reduce dividing plate 2 and aperture blades are remained on each other power in closely contacting.In other words, () size or increase power to increase its torque, also needn't add any professional component in other words, drive part 6 or driving circuit 37 needn't to increase the actuator that is used for driving aperture blades 1.Thereby even be placed under the disadvantageous condition when the digital camera 15 that be equipped with by the light amount control apparatus of above-mentioned structure, and dewfall etc. also can be operated aperture blades 1 when taking place reposefully.
When camera time spent not, aperture blades 1 remains under the open mode, and the notch portion 2b of dividing plate 2 and aperture blades 1 are overlapping.Thereby, even under high humidity, also reduced dividing plate 2 and aperture blades 1 are remained on each other power in closely contacting, thereby in the time will driving aperture blades 1, can operate aperture blades 1 reposefully.
And, the notch portion 2b of dividing plate 2 can be arranged on such position, thereby when blade 3 is shown in an open position, notch portion 2b and shutter position are overlapping (when blade 3 places in the closed position, blade 3 and dividing plate opening 2b overlap each other, thereby are not easy to take place dewfall between blade 3 and dividing plate 2).Even under high humidity, also reduced dividing plate 2 and blade 3 are remained on each other power in closely contact, feasiblely might operate blade 3 reposefully.
