The light from the object incident prism 81 is bent by the prism 81, passes through the lens body 9, and enters the image sensor 100.

Here, the lens unit or a portion incorporated in the lens unit in the lens barrel is collectively referred to as a lens body 91. The lens unit has an optical axis of the lens body 91. In an orthogonal coordinate system having mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes, an axis through which the optical axis of the lens body 91 passes is referred to as an X axis, and a direction parallel to the X axis is referred to as an X axis. A direction parallel to the Y axis is referred to as a Y axis direction, a direction parallel to the Z axis is referred to as a Z axis direction, and light from the subject enters the prism 81 from the Z axis direction. The side of the X-axis direction where the prism 81 is present when viewed from the lens body 91 is referred to as an upper side, and the opposite side where the image sensor 100 is present is referred to as a lower side. The side of the Z-axis where the object is present when viewed from the prism 81 is referred to as the front side, and the opposite side is referred to as the rear side.

The 3 rd member 30 is supported by the 2 nd drive shaft 2, is rotatable about the Y axis with respect to the 2 nd member 20, and is coupled to the 2 nd member 20.

To explain in more detail, the support base 25 of the 2 nd component 20 is received in the space 39 thereof from the rear side of the 3 rd component 30. The center portion of the 2 nd driving shaft 2 is inserted into and viscoelastically fixed to the cross hole of the shaft support portion 35 of the 3 rd member 30. In addition, both ends of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 in the Y-axis direction are inserted into the support holes 212 and 222 of the 2 nd support bearing 210 and the 2 nd support bearing 220. Resin having viscoelasticity is filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the support holes 212 and 222. The resin having viscoelasticity is a resin having a so-called effect as a damper.

The magnet support portion 36 that houses the support table 25 in the space 39 is housed in the space 19 of the 1 st component 10. The 1 st drive shaft 1 is inserted at a central portion thereof into a vertical hole 251 of a support base 25 of the 2 nd member 20 and is viscoelastically fixed thereto. Both ends of the 1 st driving shaft 1 in the Z-axis direction are inserted into the support holes 131 and 141 of the 1 st support bearing 130 and 140. Resin having viscoelasticity is filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the support holes 131 and 141.

In the space 19 of the 1 st member 10, coils 61, 62, and 65 as a part of the driving mechanism are arranged on the FPC79 as the fixed-side member, and

magnets

51, 52, and 55 as a part of the driving mechanism are arranged on the 3 rd member as the movable member. The respective groups of

magnets

51, 52, and 55 and the

coils

61, 62, and 65 are opposed with a slight interval therebetween.

In this state, in the X axis direction, 2 axes of the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 cross each other with a slight interval in the X axis direction between the mounting table 332 of the prism support portion 38 as the mounting portion and the magnet support portion 36 supporting the magnet 55 as a part of the drive mechanism. Further, in the X axis direction, the magnet 55 is positioned on the opposite side of the mounting table 332 with the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 interposed therebetween. The

magnets

51 and 52 forming part of the drive mechanism are located at respective positions separated on both sides in the Y axis direction with the 1 st drive shaft 1 interposed therebetween.

When a current flows through the

coils

61 and 62, a rotational force is generated in the Z-axis direction by the electromagnetic action between the

coils

61 and 62 and the

magnets

51 and 52, and the prism 81 mounted on the mounting table 332 of the 2 nd, 3 rd and 3

rd members

20, 30 and 30 rotates about the Z-axis with respect to the 1 st member 10. When a current flows through the coil 65, a rotational force is generated around the Y axis by an electromagnetic action between the coil 65 and the magnet 55, and the prism 81 mounted on the mounting table 332 of the 3 rd member 30 and the 3 rd member 30 rotates around the Y axis with respect to the 2 nd member 20.

The magnet 55 is attached in the X axis direction to the transverse plate 365 of the magnet supporting portion 36 of the 3 rd member 30 on the opposite side of the mounting table 332 of the 3 rd member 30 with the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 interposed therebetween. Accordingly, the weight of the members on both sides in the X axis direction is balanced in the 1 st drive shaft 1, and the force required for driving the 1 st drive shaft 1 in the rotational direction of the prism 81 as the optical element is small. In the 2 nd drive shaft 2, the weight of the members on both sides in the X axis direction is balanced, and the force required for driving the prism 81 as an optical element in the rotation direction of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 is small.

The configuration of the present embodiment can convert one expression as follows. The Z axis is the 1 st axis, the Y axis is the 2 nd axis, and the X axis is the 3 rd axis. The prism drive device 8 as an optical element drive device includes: the 1 st member 10 and the 1

st support bearings

130 and 140 as the fixed-side members; 1 st drive shaft 1; the 2 nd and 2

nd support bearings

210 and 220 as the intermediate member; the 2 nd drive shaft 2; the 3 rd member 30 as a movable member;

magnets

51, 52, and 55 as drive mechanisms; and coils 61, 62, and 65. The 1 st drive shaft 1 extends in the 1 st axial direction and is supported by the stationary-side member. The intermediate member is supported by the 1 st drive shaft 1 and rotates about the 1 st axis with respect to the stationary member. The 2 nd drive shaft 2 extends in the 2 nd axial direction and is supported by the intermediate member. The movable member is supported by the 2 nd drive shaft 2 for rotation about the 2 nd axis relative to the intermediate member. The movable member has a mounting table 332 as a mounting portion on the opposite side of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 from the 1 st drive shaft 1. The mounting table 332 mounts the prism 81 as an optical element. The driving mechanism applies a rotational force to the optical element mounted on the movable member. Accordingly, the magnet 55 as a part of the drive mechanism is attached to the movable member on the opposite side of the mounting portion with the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 interposed therebetween in the 3 rd axial direction.

With this configuration, the prism 81 as an optical element is provided on one side in the 3 rd axial direction and the magnet 55 as a part of the drive mechanism is provided on the opposite side in both the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2. Therefore, in the 3 rd axis direction, the weight applied along both sides of the 1 st driving shaft 1 is equalized, and the weight applied along both sides of the 2 nd driving shaft 2 is equalized, and the force required for driving the 1 st driving shaft 1 and the 2 nd driving shaft 2 of the optical element in the rotational direction is small. Therefore, a device capable of two-axis tilt driving without requiring a large driving force can be provided.

In the present embodiment having this configuration, the placement unit is disposed on the opposite side of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 from the 1 st drive shaft 1, but may be disposed on the opposite side of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 with the 1 st drive shaft 1 interposed therebetween. The 1 st axis may be the Y axis, and the 2 nd axis may be the Z axis. That is, the 1 st drive shaft 1 may extend in the Y axis direction and be supported by the stationary member, and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 may extend in the Z axis direction and be supported by the intermediate member. At this time, the intermediate member rotates about the Y axis with respect to the fixed-side member, and the movable member rotates about the Z axis with respect to the intermediate member. In this manner, any one of the positions of the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the 2 nd drive shaft 2 in the X direction may be the upper side. In this case, the

magnets

51 and 52 are preferably provided at positions facing each other in the Y axis direction with the 2 nd drive shaft 2 extending in the Z axis direction interposed therebetween.

In the present embodiment, the

magnets

51 and 52 may be attached to the 3 rd member 30 not at the 2 nd drive shaft 2 but at positions sandwiching the 1 st drive shaft 1.

In the present embodiment, the coil 65 may be attached to the movable member and the magnet 55 may be attached to the fixed member as part of the driving mechanism of the prism driving device 8.

In the present embodiment, the 1 st drive shaft 1 is rotatably supported with respect to the stationary member, and fixedly supports the intermediate member. The 2 nd drive shaft 2 is rotatably supported with respect to the intermediate member, and fixedly supports the movable member. However, the opposite is also possible. That is, the 1 st drive shaft 1 is fixed to and supported by the fixed-side member, and rotatably supports the intermediate member. It is also possible to have the 2 nd drive shaft 2 supported stationary relative to the intermediate part and to have the movable part freely rotatable. At this time, a viscoelastic resin is filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the inner peripheral surface of the vertical hole 251 in the vertical hole 251 of the prism drive device 8, and a viscoelastic agent is filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 1 st drive shaft 1 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the support holes 131 and 141. Further, a viscoelastic resin may be filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 and the inner peripheral surface of the transverse hole in the transverse hole, and a viscoelastic agent may be filled between the outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd drive shaft 2 and the inner peripheral surfaces of the support holes 212 and 222.
