Description

本発明は、デジタルカメラあるいは銀塩フィルム式カメラ等の光学系に適用されるレンズ鏡胴に関し、特に、レンズを調芯しつつ保持筒に嵌合させて固定するレンズ鏡胴に関する。
に関する。
The present invention relates to a lens barrel that is applied to an optical system such as a digital camera or a silver salt film camera, and more particularly to a lens barrel that is fixed by fitting a lens into a holding cylinder while aligning the lens.
About.

従来のレンズ鏡胴としては、レンズ及び保持筒(レンズホルダ)の寸法のバラツキ等により、保持筒に対してレンズのガタツキあるいはずれが生じるのを防止するために、保持筒の内周面にレンズを収容した後、保持筒の外周から熱を加えて、保持筒の端部にカシメ加工を施し、レンズを固定するものが知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。
しかしながら、この手法では、レンズのガタツキは防止できても、保持筒に対するレンズの傾きあるいは軸ずれ等を防止するのは困難であり、又、熱カシメ加工を施すための専用の装置が必要になり、製造コストの増加等を招く。
As a conventional lens barrel, in order to prevent the lens from rattling or shifting with respect to the holding cylinder due to variations in the dimensions of the lens and the holding cylinder (lens holder), a lens is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the holding cylinder. It is known that after heat is received, heat is applied from the outer periphery of the holding cylinder, the end of the holding cylinder is crimped, and the lens is fixed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
However, with this method, it is difficult to prevent lens tilting or axial misalignment with respect to the holding cylinder, even though it is possible to prevent lens rattling, and a dedicated device for performing heat caulking is required. This increases the manufacturing cost.

また、レンズを保持筒(レンズ枠)に固定する他の手法としては、レンズ及び保持筒(レンズ枠)からなるルーペにおいて、保持筒の内周面の二箇所に窪みを形成し、一方の窪みに複数のリブを設け、レンズに二つの窪みに嵌め込む突起を設け、レンズを保持筒に組み付けたとき、複数のリブがレンズの突起と密着することにより、保持筒に対してレンズを堅固に固定するものが知られている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
しかしながら、この手法では、保持筒に対してレンズを堅固に固定することはできても、保持筒に対するレンズの傾きあるいは軸ずれ等を防止するのは困難であり、又、ルーペにおいては両者の位置決め精度を高精度に管理する必要もない。
As another method for fixing the lens to the holding cylinder (lens frame), in a loupe composed of a lens and a holding cylinder (lens frame), a depression is formed at two locations on the inner peripheral surface of the holding cylinder, and one depression is formed. A plurality of ribs are provided on the lens, and protrusions that fit into the two recesses are provided on the lens.When the lens is assembled to the holding cylinder, the plurality of ribs are in close contact with the protrusions of the lens so that the lens is firmly attached to the holding cylinder. What is fixed is known (for example, refer to Patent Document 2).
However, with this method, even if the lens can be firmly fixed to the holding cylinder, it is difficult to prevent the lens from being tilted or misaligned with respect to the holding cylinder. There is no need to manage the accuracy with high accuracy.

以下、本発明の最良の実施形態について、添付図面を参照しつつ説明する。
図1ないし図3は、本発明に係るレンズ鏡胴の一実施形態を示すものであり、図1はレンズ鏡胴の後面図及び断面図、図2は保持筒とレンズの関係を示す断面図、図3は保持筒にレンズが嵌合された状態での突条部の状態を示す後面図及び部分拡大図である。
DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1 to 3 show an embodiment of a lens barrel according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a rear view and a sectional view of the lens barrel. FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a relationship between a holding cylinder and a lens. FIGS. 3A and 3B are a rear view and a partially enlarged view showing a state of the protruding portion in a state where the lens is fitted to the holding cylinder.

このレンズ鏡胴は、図1及び図2に示すように、円筒状の保持筒10、保持筒10に保持されるレンズ20により形成されている。
保持筒10は、弾性変形可能な樹脂材料により略円筒状に一体的に形成されており、図1及び図2に示すように、光軸方向Lに軸心をもつと共にレンズ20を収容する空間を画定する内周面11、外輪郭をなす外周面12、内周面11において所定口径の開口部13aを画定する環状段差部13、内周面11において周方向に等間隔で配列して形成された複数(ここでは、4個)の突条部14、外周面12から径方向外側に突出して先端にフォロワピン(不図示)を保持する腕部15等を備えている。尚、このレンズ鏡胴は、腕部15に設けられたフォロワピンを介してカム筒等により光軸方向に移動自在に支持されるものである。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this lens barrel is formed by a cylindrical holding cylinder 10 and a lens 20 held by the holding cylinder 10.
The holding cylinder 10 is integrally formed in a substantially cylindrical shape by an elastically deformable resin material. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the holding cylinder 10 has a center in the optical axis direction L and accommodates the lens 20. An inner peripheral surface 11 defining an outer periphery, an outer peripheral surface 12 forming an outer contour, an annular stepped portion 13 defining an opening 13a having a predetermined diameter on the inner peripheral surface 11, and an inner peripheral surface 11 arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. A plurality of (in this case, four) projecting ridges 14, an arm 15 that protrudes radially outward from the outer peripheral surface 12, and holds a follower pin (not shown) at the tip are provided. The lens barrel is supported by a cam barrel or the like via a follower pin provided on the arm portion 15 so as to be movable in the optical axis direction.

4個の突条部14は、内周面11から径方向内側に突出すると共に光軸方向Lに伸長し、かつ、周方向において90度の等間隔で配列して形成されており、径方向において弾性変形可能になっている。このように、4個の突条部14は、周方向に等間隔で配列されているため、レンズ20が嵌合された場合、レンズ20に対して周方向から均等に保持力が作用し、レンズ20の傾き、軸ずれ、あるいは、ガタツキ等を防止して、調芯を行うことができる。また、4個の突条部14は、弾性変形可能であれば、別体として形成されて後付けされてもよいが、保持筒10に対して樹脂材料により一体的に形成されているため、突条部14を複数個容易に形成することができ、別体の場合に比べて、部品点数を削減でき、又、製造コストを低減できる。   The four ridges 14 protrude radially inward from the inner peripheral surface 11 and extend in the optical axis direction L, and are arranged at equal intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. It can be elastically deformed. Thus, since the four protrusions 14 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, when the lens 20 is fitted, a holding force acts equally on the lens 20 from the circumferential direction, Alignment can be performed while preventing the lens 20 from tilting, misaligning, rattling or the like. Further, the four protrusions 14 may be formed as separate bodies and retrofitted as long as they can be elastically deformed. However, since the four protrusions 14 are integrally formed of a resin material with respect to the holding cylinder 10, A plurality of strips 14 can be easily formed, and the number of parts can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case of separate bodies.

また、4個の突条部14と内周面11との関係については、図2に示すように、内周面11の内径が、製造上の寸法公差±ΔD1を考慮してφD±ΔDとなるように形成され、4個の突条部14は、これらに接触する内接円の直径が、製造上の寸法公差±ΔD1を考慮してφD1±ΔD1(ここで、φD1±ΔD1<φD±ΔD)となるように、先端が断面半円状に湾曲して形成されている。   Further, regarding the relationship between the four protrusions 14 and the inner peripheral surface 11, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 11 is φD ± ΔD in consideration of manufacturing dimensional tolerance ± ΔD 1. The four protrusions 14 are formed so that the diameters of the inscribed circles in contact therewith are φD1 ± ΔD1 (where φD1 ± ΔD1 <φD ±) in consideration of the manufacturing dimensional tolerance ± ΔD1. The tip is curved in a semicircular cross section so that ΔD).

レンズ20は、樹脂材料又はガラス材料により形成されており、図1及び図2に示すように、小径からなる前側レンズ21と大径からなる後側レンズ22との接合レンズとして形成されている。
前側レンズ21は、両面が凸状に形成された両凸レンズであり、後側レンズ22は両面が凹状に形成された両凹レンズである。
そして、図2に示すように、後側レンズ22の外径は、製造上の寸法公差±Δdを考慮してφd±Δdとなるように形成されている。
The lens 20 is formed of a resin material or a glass material, and is formed as a cemented lens of a front lens 21 having a small diameter and a rear lens 22 having a large diameter, as shown in FIGS.
The front lens 21 is a biconvex lens with both surfaces formed in a convex shape, and the rear lens 22 is a biconcave lens with both surfaces formed in a concave shape.
As shown in FIG. 2, the outer diameter of the rear lens 22 is formed to be φd ± Δd in consideration of the manufacturing dimensional tolerance ± Δd.

また、保持筒10とレンズ20とは、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)の外径φd±Δd(但し±Δdは公差)、保持筒10の内周面11の内径φD±ΔD(但し±ΔDは公差)、複数の突条部14に接触する内接円の直径φD1±ΔD1(但し±ΔD1は公差)の相互関係が、
φD1±ΔD1<φd±Δd<φD±ΔD
を満足するように形成されている。
Further, the holding cylinder 10 and the lens 20 include an outer diameter φd ± Δd (where ± Δd is a tolerance) of the lens 20 (rear lens 22), and an inner diameter φD ± ΔD (where ± ΔD) of the inner peripheral surface 11 of the holding cylinder 10. Is a tolerance), and the mutual relationship of the diameters φD1 ± ΔD1 (where ± ΔD1 is a tolerance) of the inscribed circle that contacts the plurality of protrusions 14 is
φD1 ± ΔD1 <φd ± Δd <φD ± ΔD
It is formed to satisfy.

これによれば、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)の外径が最小値φd−Δd〜最大値φd+Δd、保持筒10の内周面11の内径が最小値φD−ΔD〜最大値φD+ΔD、複数の突条部14に接触する内接円の直径が最小値φD1−ΔD1〜最大値φD1+ΔD1でそれぞれバラツキを生じても、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)は、複数の突条部14を常に圧縮して弾性変形させつつ嵌合されて、内周面11に非接触の状態で保持筒10に確実に固定される。   According to this, the outer diameter of the lens 20 (rear lens 22) is the minimum value φd−Δd to the maximum value φd + Δd, and the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 11 of the holding cylinder 10 is the minimum value φD−ΔD to the maximum value φD + ΔD. The lens 20 (rear lens 22) always compresses the plurality of protrusions 14 even if the diameter of the inscribed circle that contacts the protrusions 14 varies between the minimum value φD1−ΔD1 and the maximum value φD1 + ΔD1. It is fitted while being elastically deformed, and is securely fixed to the holding cylinder 10 in a non-contact state with the inner peripheral surface 11.

すなわち、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)の外径がφd−Δd、内周面の内径がφD+ΔD、突条部14の内接円の直径がφD1+ΔD1のとき、突条部14の圧縮による弾性変形量は最も小さくなるものの、図3(a)に示すように、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)は、保持筒10に対して傾き及び軸ずれあるいはガタツキを生じることなく、所定の嵌合力で保持されて確実に固定される。また、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)の外径がφd+Δd、内周面11の内径がφD−ΔD、突条部14の内接円の直径がφD1−ΔD1のとき、突条部14の圧縮による弾性変形量は最も大きくなり、図3(b)に示すように、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)は、保持筒10に対して傾き及び軸ずれあるいはガタツキを生じることなく、より強い嵌合力で保持されて確実に固定される。   That is, when the outer diameter of the lens 20 (rear lens 22) is φd−Δd, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface is φD + ΔD, and the diameter of the inscribed circle of the protrusion 14 is φD1 + ΔD1, the elastic deformation due to compression of the protrusion 14 is caused. Although the amount is the smallest, as shown in FIG. 3A, the lens 20 (rear lens 22) is held with a predetermined fitting force without causing inclination, axial deviation, or rattling with respect to the holding cylinder 10. And fixed securely. Further, when the outer diameter of the lens 20 (rear lens 22) is φd + Δd, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 11 is φD−ΔD, and the diameter of the inscribed circle of the protruding portion 14 is φD1-ΔD1, the compression of the protruding portion 14 is performed. As shown in FIG. 3B, the lens 20 (rear lens 22) has a stronger fitting force without causing inclination, axial deviation, or rattling with respect to the holding cylinder 10, as shown in FIG. It is held by and fixed securely.

この実施形態によれば、レンズ鏡胴の組み付けに際して、レンズ20を保持筒10の後方から内周面11に近づけ、前側レンズ21が環状段部13に接触して位置決めされるまで、後側レンズ22の外周面が4個の突条部14を圧縮して弾性変形させた状態になるように嵌合させることにより、容易に組み付けることができる。
また、保持筒10の軸心(光軸方向L)に対するレンズ20の光軸の傾き及び軸ずれ、さらには、レンズ20のガタツキ等を防止でき、特に光学性能への影響度の高い接合レンズ20を、高精度に安定して組み付けることができ、レンズ鏡胴の製造において、品質の向上及び歩留まりの向上を達成することができる。
According to this embodiment, when the lens barrel is assembled, the rear lens is moved until the lens 20 is brought close to the inner peripheral surface 11 from the rear of the holding tube 10 and the front lens 21 is positioned in contact with the annular step portion 13. Assembling can be easily performed by fitting the outer peripheral surface 22 so that the four protrusions 14 are compressed and elastically deformed.
In addition, it is possible to prevent the inclination and axial deviation of the optical axis of the lens 20 with respect to the axial center (optical axis direction L) of the holding cylinder 10, and rattling of the lens 20, and the cemented lens 20 having a particularly high degree of influence on optical performance. Can be stably assembled with high accuracy, and in the manufacture of the lens barrel, improvement in quality and improvement in yield can be achieved.

図4(a),(b)は、本発明に係るレンズ鏡胴の他の実施形態を示すものであり、前述の実施形態と同一の構成については同一の符号を付してその説明を省略する。
この実施形態においては、保持筒10´の内周面11において、12個の突条部14が一体的に形成されている。
すなわち、12個の突条部14は、内周面11の周方向において30度の等間隔に配列して形成されている。したがって、レンズ20(後側レンズ22)の外周面と接触する突条部14の個数が増えた分だけ、調芯作用はより高精度に行われて、傾き及び軸ずれ等が防止され、嵌合力もさらに強くなってガタツキ等が防止され、より堅固に固定されることになる。これにより、レンズ鏡胴の安定した組み付けが可能になり、品質の向上及び歩留まりの向上が達成される。
4 (a) and 4 (b) show another embodiment of the lens barrel according to the present invention. The same components as those of the above-mentioned embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted. To do.
In this embodiment, twelve protrusions 14 are integrally formed on the inner peripheral surface 11 of the holding cylinder 10 ′.
That is, the twelve ridges 14 are formed at equal intervals of 30 degrees in the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral surface 11. Therefore, the alignment operation is performed with higher accuracy by the increase in the number of the protrusions 14 that are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the lens 20 (rear lens 22), and the tilt and the axial deviation are prevented. The resultant force is further increased to prevent rattling and the like, and is more firmly fixed. As a result, the lens barrel can be stably assembled, and the quality and yield can be improved.
