[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the present invention, a rolled photographic film is loaded, and the loaded photographic film is fed to a predetermined photographing opening one frame at a time, and in accordance with the photographing operation, the photographic film is placed in an area located at the photographing opening. The present invention relates to a camera that exposes a subject image.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the camera, the shooting data at the time of shooting is copied onto the photographic film by the data transfer device, and when the photographic film is developed, the shooting data is displayed on the photo together with the subject image. There is something that is.
[0003]
Among cameras equipped with such a data copying device, there is a camera in which shooting data displayed on a liquid crystal display is guided onto a film by an optical component such as a lens (for example, Patent Document 1).
[0004]
However, when a data copying apparatus having such a liquid crystal display device is provided in the camera, a place for arranging the liquid crystal display device is required, and there is a problem that the camera body is inevitably enlarged.
[0005]
Therefore, an increasing number of cameras are equipped with a data copying device called a dot matrix method in order to reduce the size of the camera body. This data imprinting device called a dot matrix system has a plurality of light emitting elements arranged in a one-dimensional manner, and records a large number of light spots on a photographic film fed by blinking those light emitting elements. Thus, it is intended to display data representing characters, and there is an advantage that the camera body can be miniaturized because a plurality of light emitting elements and an imaging lens arranged one-dimensionally may be arranged inside the camera. The Among cameras equipped with such a dot matrix type data imprinting device, one that adjusts the character width by changing the feeding speed of a photographic film has been proposed (Patent Document 2).

[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the case of Patent Document 2, it is necessary to arrange a data copying device in a partition portion between the photographing opening and the cartridge chamber or the film winding chamber. Therefore, the photographing opening and the film loading chamber or the film winding are unavoidable. There is a problem in that the camera body must be widened, which hinders further downsizing of the camera body.
[0008]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a camera in which a camera body can be configured more compactly even when a dot matrix type data copying apparatus is provided.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, a camera of the present invention is loaded with a rolled photographic film, and feeds the loaded photographic film one frame at a time to a predetermined shooting opening. , In a camera that exposes a subject image in an area located at the photographing aperture,
A lens barrel that supports a photographic lens that forms a subject image on the photographic aperture; and
A plurality of light-emitting elements arranged one-dimensionally in the width direction of the photographic film, and an imaging lens for imaging the plurality of light-emitting elements on the photographic film. Inside, it is equipped with a sequential matrix method data copying device that records data on photographic film by blinking according to the data copied,
The light emitting element is disposed at an obliquely upper position outside the lens barrel, and the imaging lens has an optical axis inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens, and is emitted from the light emitting element. The light is guided by the imaging lens in a direction inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens to form a light spot in the photographing aperture.
[0010]
According to the camera of the present invention, it is not necessary to provide a partition wall between the photographing opening and the film take-up chamber or the cartridge as in the conventional cameras, and at an obliquely upper position outside the lens barrel. The light emitting element can be disposed in a slight gap between the curved portion of the existing lens barrel and the camera body side. Further, since an imaging lens having an optical axis inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens is provided so as to guide the light of the light emitting element into the photographing aperture, a data recording device including the light emitting element and the imaging lens is provided. The lens barrel can be compactly accommodated, and the lateral width of the camera body can be compactly formed.
[0011]
Here, it is preferable that the plurality of light emitting elements are fixed in a state of being directed in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the photographing lens.
[0012]
Then, since the light emitting element may be disposed along a plane parallel to or orthogonal to the optical axis of the photographing lens, even if the space between the curved portion of the lens barrel and the camera body is small Assembly is simple.
[0013]
Here, in the camera of the present invention, an image forming lens comprising an image forming lens and a lens frame that holds the image forming lens and has a reference surface that is oriented in a direction inclined with respect to the optical axis of the image forming lens. A lens unit, and an imaging lens unit support portion having a support surface that is in a direction parallel to the optical axis of the photographing lens and is in contact with the reference surface, to which the imaging lens unit is fixed. It is preferable that the imaging lens is positioned at a predetermined position and a predetermined inclination by being supported by the imaging lens unit support portion in a state where the reference surface is in contact with the support surface.
[0014]
Thus, if the imaging lens unit is supported by bringing the reference surface of the imaging lens unit into contact with the imaging lens unit support portion, the lens unit can be assembled without the need for adjusting the optical axis. Assembly is greatly facilitated because the position and tilt of the lens are positioned.
[0015]
In the camera according to the aspect of the invention, the light emitting element may include a mask member that prevents light other than light that is directly incident on the imaging lens from the light emitting element from entering the imaging lens, between the light emitting element and the imaging lens. It is preferable.
[0016]
Even though the light emitting element and the lens are arranged outside the lens barrel, other members are also mounted around the light emitting element and the lens, so some of the other members are reflected. It may act as a member, or a partition in the camera body may act as a reflector.
[0017]
Therefore, when a mask member is disposed between the light emitting element and the imaging lens as in the above invention, light other than light directly incident on the imaging lens from the light emitting element is prevented from entering the imaging lens, and the film The risk of ghosts appearing on the surface is reduced.
[0018]
In the camera of the present invention, the photographic film wound in the light shielding case is loaded in the film loading chamber together with the light shielding case, and the loaded photographic film is pulled out from the light shielding case once through the photographing opening. In the process of winding in a winding chamber and rewinding from the film winding chamber to the light shielding case in the film loading chamber, a camera that feeds one frame of photographic film into the light shielding case each time shooting is performed,
The light emitting element may be arranged at an obliquely upper position on the film loading chamber side outside the lens barrel.
[0019]
The camera of this aspect is a so-called prewind type camera, in which a light emitting element is disposed at an obliquely upper position on the film winding chamber side, and light emitted from the light emitting element is inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens. By adopting an imaging lens having an optical axis so as to be guided to the photographing aperture, the data transfer device can be compactly accommodated in the camera body.
[0020]

Can be set to.
[0024]
The configuration of the camera of this embodiment in which the lateral width of the camera body is housed in a compact manner will be described by showing the positional relationship between the film loading chamber of the camera and the data copying device arranged inside the camera.
[0025]
FIG. 2 is a diagram in which the upper part of the camera 100 of the present embodiment is cut in the horizontal direction and the inside of the camera is viewed obliquely from the front.
[0026]
As shown in FIG. 2, the camera 100 of this embodiment includes a lens barrel 101, and a photographing lens is supported by the lens barrel 101 although not shown. The photographing lens is protected by a cover on the front surface of the lens barrel 101. When photographing is performed, the cover 101a is opened and photographing is performed. Since the camera 100 of the present invention is characterized by the arrangement of the data copying device, FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of the data copying device 140, the film winding chamber 150, the film loading chamber 160, and the photographing opening 170. It is shown.
[0027]
As shown in FIG. 2, the data copying device 140 is disposed at an obliquely upper position on the film loading chamber 160 side of the lens barrel 101. In general, in the camera 100, the subject image formed on the photographic film by the taking lens is an inverted image, and the data is imprinted on the lower part of the photograph. Therefore, the data imprinting device 140 is disposed at the upper position of the photographic film. Since the camera 100 of the present embodiment is a prewind type camera, a light emitting element is disposed obliquely above the lens barrel 101 on the side of the film loading chamber 160 in which a cartridge is loaded. In the case of the camera of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a helicoid cylinder 101a is disposed on the outer periphery of the lens barrel, and the data copying device 140 is from a portion where the helicoid cylinder 101a is disposed. Is also arranged at an outer position.
[0028]
First, the photographic film feeding unit of the camera 100 will be described.
[0029]
As can be seen from FIG. 1, a photographic film winding chamber 150 is provided on the right side of the lens barrel 101, and a film loading chamber 160 is provided on the left side of the lens barrel 101. A cartridge 160a in which a photographic film is wound and stored is loaded in the film loading chamber 160, and the photographic film 161 drawn out from the drawer opening of the cartridge 160a passes through the photographing opening of the camera, and the film winding chamber 150. It is designed to be wound up by The photographing aperture of this camera indicates the range of the subject image by the photographing lens, and the portion indicated by the rectangular frame 170a of the photographic film 161 is fed frame by frame to the photographing aperture 170 in accordance with the photographing operation.
[0030]
Since the camera 100 is a prewind camera, the cartridge 160a is loaded in the cartridge chamber 160, and all the photographic film 161 drawn out from the cartridge 160a is once wound up to the film winding chamber 150 side. . Accordingly, when the film winding chamber 150 is wound by a feeding motor (not shown), the area 170a corresponding to the final frame of the photographic film 160a on the cartridge 160 side becomes the first frame, and the camera 100 Is fed to the area located at the photographing opening 170 to prepare for photographing.
[0031]
Here, the release button is operated to take a picture, and when a subject image is formed on the first frame of the photographic film, the photographic film is fed to the patrone side by one frame by the feeding motor, and one frame is taken. It is sent into the cartridge 160. When the photographic film is fed into the cartridge, the photographing data is copied to a predetermined position 161 a of the photographic film 161 by the data copying device 140. As described above, the image formed on the photographic film 161 by the photographing lens is an inverted image, and the camera 100 is a prewind type camera. Therefore, the data copying device 140 is provided on the side of the cartridge 160 in FIG. It is arranged at an obliquely upper position. In this way, shooting data is copied below the subject image of the developed photo. In the light emitting element 140a, a plurality of light emitting elements are arranged one-dimensionally in the width direction of the photographic film 161, but FIG. 1 shows only the position where the light emitting element 141 is disposed. is there.
[0032]
The blinking of each of the light emitting elements 141 arranged in a one-dimensional manner is controlled by a control means to be described later, and the light emitting elements are caused to blink according to the imprint data created by the control means, so that data is transferred onto the photographic film 161. It is copied. Thus, while the photographic film 161 is being fed, the light emitting elements 141 arranged one-dimensionally according to the imprint data blink. Since the photographic film is fed, the light spots are successively formed on the photographic film 161 in response to the flashing of the light emitting element 141, so that a so-called dot matrix is formed at a predetermined position of the photographic film, and the character information is displayed. This completes the copying of shooting data. Such a data copying apparatus is called a dot matrix type data copying apparatus 140 in sequence.
[0033]
FIG. 3 is a view showing the positional relationship between the data copying device 140 including the light emitting element 141, the imaging lens 142 a and the mask member 143, and the photographing aperture 170.

FIG. 3 shows a photographic film region located on the photographing opening 170 of the camera 100 by a rectangular frame 170a on the photographic film 161, and a portion surrounded by the rectangular frame 170a is one frame of the photographic film 161. Hit the minutes shooting area. FIG. 3 shows a state before the photographic film 161 is fed. An imaging lens 142a having an optical axis inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens so that light of the light emitting element 141 of the data copying device 140 is guided to a portion corresponding to the photographing opening 170 indicated by the rectangular frame 170a. Is disposed between the light emitting element 141 and the photographing aperture 170. A sensor 180 for counting the number of perforations 161b of the photographic film 161 is disposed below in order to position the film photographing region 170a indicated by the rectangular frame in the photographing opening 170. The role of this sensor 180 will be described later.
[0035]
As described above, until now, when the photographic film 161 is being fed, the data copying by the data copying device has been performed outside the shooting opening 170, so that the film loading chamber 160 and the camera 100 shoot. Although it is necessary to secure a space between the opening 170 so that the data copying device 140 including the light emitting element 141 and the imaging lens 142a can be disposed, the camera according to the present embodiment emits light. The optical axis of the imaging lens 142a is adjusted so that the light emitted from the light emitting element 141 is guided into the photographing aperture 170 by disposing the element 141 in a slight diagonal space outside the lens barrel. Inclined with the optical axis. Therefore, the wall thickness of the partition walls on both sides of the photographing opening is reduced, and the width of the camera body can be stored compactly.
[0036]
In such a data copying device 140, the optical axis of the light emitting element 141 and the optical axis of the imaging lens 142a are combined in the camera body. In the camera 100 of this embodiment, the light emitting element 141 is a predetermined element. When the imaging lens 142a is assembled at a predetermined position and at a predetermined inclination, the light emitted from the light emitting element is positioned so as to be guided to the photographing aperture.
[0037]
As shown in FIG. 3, a mask member 143 is disposed so that light other than light directly incident on the imaging lens 142a from the light emitting element 141 does not enter the imaging lens. In this way, the mask member 143 prevents unnecessary light from entering, and there is no risk of unnecessary light being imaged on the photographic film 161, thereby preventing the occurrence of ghost or blurring.
[0038]
FIG. 4 shows a state where the imaging lens 142a in the data copying apparatus 140 described with reference to FIG. 3 is incorporated in the camera body.
[0039]
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state when the imaging lens 142a is incorporated in the camera body.
[0040]
As shown in FIG. 4, the imaging lens 142a is supported by a lens frame 142b, and the imaging lens 142a supported by the lens frame 142b is inserted into the periphery of the lens barrel 101 as an imaging lens unit 142. Installed. At this time, if the reference surface 142c of the imaging lens unit 142 is inserted into contact with the support portion 100a on the lens barrel 101 side, the imaging lens 142a is positioned at a predetermined position and at a predetermined inclination. It has become. The configuration will be described with reference to FIG.
[0041]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of an imaging lens unit 142 including an imaging lens 142a and a lens frame 142b that supports the imaging lens 142a.
[0042]
As shown in FIG. 5, the imaging lens 142a and the lens frame 142b that holds the imaging lens 142a and has a reference surface 142c facing the direction inclined with respect to the optical axis of the imaging lens 142a are formed. The lens unit 142 is disposed in contact with the support surface 100a provided on the camera body side. Therefore, the imaging lens 142a having the optical axis in a direction inclined with respect to the optical axis of the photographing lens is incorporated at a predetermined position where the light from the light emitting element 141 can be guided into the photographing opening 170 at a predetermined inclination. It is.
[0043]
FIG. 6 shows a state where the imaging lens is incorporated in the camera body in this way.
[0044]
FIG. 6 is a view showing a state after the imaging lens is incorporated. As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the imaging lens unit 142, a mask member 143 is also incorporated between the light emitting element 141 and the imaging lens unit 142. The mask member 143 is a member having a circular opening centered on a line connecting the optical axis of the light emitting element 141 and the optical axis of the imaging lens. The mask member 143 is also incorporated along the inner wall of the camera body. It is configured to be positioned when

As shown in FIG. 6, when the light emitting element 141 emits light, the emitted light is imaged by the imaging lens 142a via the mask member 143 to form a light spot 161d. A photographic film is placed where the light spot 161d is formed, and the photographing data is captured.
[0046]
As described above, in the conventional camera 100, data is copied at a position outside the photographing opening 170, so it is inevitably between the photographing opening 170 and the film loading chamber 160 or the film winding chamber 150. There was a problem that the camera body was enlarged because it had to be wide. In view of this problem, in the camera 100 of the present embodiment, the image forming lens 142 has an optical axis inclined with respect to the photographing lens, so that data is copied without a gap between the film loading chamber 160 and the photographing opening 170. It is improved so that the insertion device 140 can be arranged. With this improvement, the periphery of the lens barrel 101 where the photographing aperture is defined can be stored compactly, and the camera body becomes compact.
[0047]
With reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, it will be described how the photographic data is imprinted on the photographic film by the data imprinting device 140 incorporated in the camera body as described above.
[0048]
FIG. 7 is a configuration block diagram of a control unit provided in the camera 100 of the present embodiment.
[0049]
The camera 100 is supplied with electric power by a battery 1001, and electric power is supplied from the battery to each control unit shown in the control block diagram.
[0050]
In this camera, each control unit is comprehensively controlled by the μ computer 1000. In addition to the data copying device, the zoom control unit 101c, the distance measurement control unit 102, the flash light emission unit 104, and the photometry included in the camera of this embodiment. The control unit 105a, the exposure control unit 1100, and the like are controlled. When a switch group 1002 for setting a release button, a shooting mode, and the like that are operated when shooting with this camera is operated, an operation signal of those switches is supplied to the μ computer, and each control shown in the control block diagram is performed. Part is controlled. The μ computer 1000 also controls a liquid crystal display device (hereinafter referred to as LCD) 1003 for showing the operation status to the user and a backlight 1004 for giving brightness to the LCD 1003.
[0051]
The portions related to the data copying apparatus, which is a characteristic portion of the present invention, will be described in detail.
[0052]
As shown in FIG. 7, the feed control unit 1005 and the light emitting element 141 are controlled by the μ computer 1000, and based on the output signal of the sensor 180 controlled by the feed control unit 1005, Flashing of the light emitting element 141 is controlled by the μ computer 1000.
[0053]
In the prewind type camera as shown in FIG. 1, when the photographic film 161 is stored in the cartridge 160a, the photographic film is stored on the cartridge 160a side, and the film wound around the shaft in the cartridge is wound. The diameter gradually increases. Since the speed at which the photographic film is taken up increases as the take-up diameter increases, the speed of the photographic film fed is detected each time data is copied.

Time is measured and the feeding speed of the photographic film 161 is detected.
[0054]
In this way, the feeding speed of the photographic film 161 is detected each time by the μ computer 1000, and the flashing of the light emitting element 141 is controlled according to the feeding speed, and the photographed data is copied onto the photographic film. In this way, the character width of the characters formed by the dot matrix on the photographic film is kept constant. The character height is determined by the number of light emitting elements arranged in a line.
[0055]
The procedure for copying data will be described with reference to FIG.
[0056]
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a data copying process performed by the μ computer.
[0057]
Since the data is copied while the photographic film is being fed by the feeding motor 1006, when the release operation is performed and the photographing for one frame is completed, the process of step S81 is performed. In order to prepare for the next shooting, the photographic film is fed to a position located at the shooting opening, and the photographic film which has been shot is fed into the cartridge. When the photographed film is sent to the cartridge, the photographed data is copied to a predetermined position of the photographed film.
[0058]
First, in step S82, the sensor 180 is turned on. In the camera of the present embodiment, the power of the sensor 180 is turned on immediately before the photographic film is fed in order to reduce the power consumption of the battery.
[0059]
When the sensor 180 is turned on and feeding of the photographic film is started, the number of perforations 161b of the photographic film 161 is counted in step S83. If it is determined in step S84 that the number of perforations 161b does not reach the specified number and N, the process returns to step S83 to continue counting perforations continuously.
[0060]
Then, if it is determined in step S84 that the number of counted perforations 161b is a predetermined number, for example, the number of perforations 1611b located immediately before the area 161a for data copying shown in FIG. 3 is counted in step S85. The time from the perforation 1611b until the next perforation 1612b is detected is measured to detect the feeding speed of the photographic film. In step S86, the blinking cycle of the light emitting element 141 is determined together with the start timing of data copying to the predetermined area 161a according to the detected feeding speed, and in step S87, a large number of light spots are two-dimensionally determined. Data is copied in the formed dot matrix. When the data copying is finished, the sensor power is turned off in step S88, and the data copying is finished.
[0061]
