Description

  The present invention relates to a shutter device provided in front of an image sensor to protect the image sensor, and an image capturing device such as a digital camera having the shutter device.

  Some digital cameras having an electronic shutter function in the image pickup device do not require a mechanical shutter for defining the shooting time, but some have a shutter device as a light shielding member for preventing the image pickup device from being soiled or burned. In addition, the digital camera has a function (hereinafter, live view) for displaying a subject image captured by an image sensor on a monitor such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) as a finder image for observing the subject at the time of shooting. There is something.

  The following shutter device is used as a light shielding member in these digital cameras.

  The first conventional example is a conventional shutter device used in a silver salt camera. This shutter device has a front curtain blade group that shifts the shutter opening from the shielding state to the open state during exposure, and a rear curtain blade group that shifts the shutter opening from the open state to the shielding state during exposure.

  The second conventional example is a shutter device disclosed in Patent Document 1, and is configured to open and close a set of blade groups by an electromagnetic actuator.

  The shutter base plate 29 is fixed to a mirror box of the camera body 1 (not shown in FIG. 3), and each component constituting the driving mechanism of the blade group 34c is attached. The quick return mirror 30 swings up and down so as to advance and retreat with respect to the imaging optical path in the mirror box by reciprocatingly rotating about the shaft portion 30a. A mirror drive lever 31 that is a mirror drive member is supported on an upper base plate 32 so as to be rotatable about its shaft portion 32a, and a quick return mirror disposed below the photographing optical axis at the shaft portion 31a. 30 is in contact with the shaft portion 30b which is a driven portion. Further, the mirror drive lever 31 abuts on the cam surface 33a of the mirror cam gear 33 which is the second cam gear at the shaft portion 31b. The quick return mirror 30 is urged by a spring (not shown) so as to follow the movement of the mirror drive lever 31.

The mirror cam gear 33 is supported so as to be rotatable about a mirror cam gear shaft 29 c disposed in the shutter base plate 29 in the same direction as the photographing optical axis, and is directly connected to the shutter cam gear 35.

  In the above configuration, the mirror driving lever 31 and the shutter are driven by the driving force transmitted from the motor 41 having the output shaft in the same direction as the photographing optical axis through the reduction gear train 42 and the mirror cam gear 33 as transmission members. The cam gear 35 rotates. That is, only the motor 41 can perform the reciprocating rotation of the quick return mirror 30, the shutter charge of the shutter device 4, and the traveling operation of the blade group 34c.

  Next, the configuration of the shutter device 4 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

Specifically, FIG. 4 shows a state where the camera is stopped, FIG. 5 shows a photographing standby state, and FIG. 6 shows a blade travel completion state after photographing. In these drawings, the upper base plate 32 is omitted.

  The shutter base plate 29 is formed with an aperture 29d through which the subject light flux passes. A blade drive lever 34 is rotatably supported on a blade drive lever shaft 29 a provided on the surface of the shutter base plate 29.

The blade driving arm (not shown) is connected to the blade group 34c via a link mechanism. The blade group 34c is composed of a plurality of shutter blades.

  As the blade drive pin 34b moves along the groove 29e by the rotation of the blade drive lever 34, the blade drive arm can rotate to deploy or superimpose the blade group 34c. By the operation of the blade group 34c, the aperture 29d can be in an open state (a state in which the subject light beam is allowed to pass) or in a closed state (a state in which the subject light beam is substantially blocked). Here, the rotation range of the blade drive lever 34 is limited by the groove 29e.

  A shutter cam gear 35 is rotatably supported by a shutter cam gear shaft 29b provided on the shutter base plate 29.

The charging operation is performed by rotating in the direction.

  The mirror drive lever 31 is rotatably supported by the shaft portion 32a of the upper base plate 32. A torsion coil spring (not shown) is disposed on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 32a, and this torsion coil spring urges the mirror drive lever 31 in the clockwise direction (the direction in which the quick return mirror 30 is raised).

  The mirror cam gear 33 is rotatably supported by a mirror cam gear shaft 29 c provided on the shutter base plate 29 and meshes directly with the shutter cam gear 35. The cam surface 33 a formed on the mirror cam gear 33 abuts on a shaft portion 31 b provided on the mirror drive lever 31 and rotates the mirror drive lever 31 according to the rotation of the mirror cam gear 33. Specifically, the cam surface 33a of the mirror cam gear 33 performs a charging operation by rotating the mirror drive lever 31 that puts the quick return mirror 30 in the up state in the counterclockwise direction in FIG.

  The charging operation is performed by transmitting the rotational force of the motor 41 to the mirror cam gear 33 and the shutter cam gear 35 via the reduction gear train 42.

  Next, the operation of the shutter device 4 when actually shooting is described.

  When the release button 3 is fully pressed in the state of FIG. 4, the rotation of the motor 41 causes the mirror cam gear 33 to rotate clockwise and the shutter cam gear 35 to rotate counterclockwise. Then, the shaft 31b of the mirror drive lever 31 falls to the cam bottom of the cam surface 33a, so that the mirror drive lever 31 jumps up the quick return mirror 30. Further, when the shutter cam portion 35a of the shutter cam gear 35 pushes the blade drive lever roller 34a, the blade drive lever 34 rotates clockwise, and the state shifts to the photographing standby state shown in FIG. 5 in which the aperture 29d is opened. In the state of FIG. 5, exposure is performed by a live view operation or an electronic shutter function of the image sensor 10.

  After the exposure by the image sensor 10, the mirror cam gear 33 rotates clockwise and the shutter cam gear 35 rotates counterclockwise by the rotation of the motor 41. Then, the shutter cam portion 35a of the shutter cam gear 35 is separated from the blade drive lever roller 34a, and the blade drive lever 34 rotates counterclockwise, whereby the aperture 29d is closed and the blade travel complete state shown in FIG.

  When the motor 41 further rotates, the cam surface 33a of the mirror cam gear 33 pushes the shaft portion 31b of the mirror drive lever 31, and the mirror drive lever 31 rotates counterclockwise, returning to the state shown in FIGS.

  The shutter device according to the first embodiment includes an aperture 29d through which subject light passes, and a blade drive lever roller (pushing portion) 34a, and a blade drive that causes the blade group 34c to perform the operations of closing and opening the aperture 29d.

  When the power of the motor 41 is transmitted to the shutter cam gear 35 and the mirror cam gear 33 and rotates, the shutter cam gear 35 brings the blade drive lever 34 into a charge release state, thereby closing the aperture 29d. Then, the mirror cam gear 33 takes the first phase (FIG. 4) in which the mirror driving member 31 is moved to the first position. Further, the shutter cam gear 35 brings the blade drive lever 34 into a charged state to open the aperture 29d, and the mirror cam gear 33 moves the mirror drive member 31 to the second position (FIG. 5). Take. In other words, the motor 41, the mirror cam gear 33, and the shutter cam gear 35 are connected, and when the motor 41 rotates, the shutter cam gear 35 and the mirror cam gear 33 rotate in opposite directions, respectively. Accordingly, the aperture 29d is in a closed state (shutter closed). Then, a first phase in which the quick return mirror 30 enters the photographing optical path, an aperture 29d in the open state (shutter open), and a second phase in a state in which the quick return mirror 30 is retracted from the photographing optical path are sequentially taken. .

  Therefore, the shutter device can be configured without using the electromagnetic actuator as in the conventional example. That is, an electromagnetic actuator other than a motor is not required, and a shutter device that is configured by only one set of blade groups and that has a small load in terms of power and is inexpensive in terms of cost can be provided. Further, since the aperture is closed by the charge release operation of the blade drive lever 34, the light shielding operation can be performed quickly after photographing.

This blade drive arm (not shown) is connected to the blade group 36c via a link mechanism, and the blade group 36c is composed of a plurality of shutter blades.

  When the blade driving pin 36b moves along the groove 29e by the rotation of the blade driving lever 36, the blade driving arm (not shown) rotates to expand or superimpose the blade group 36c. By the operation of the blade group 36c, the aperture 29d can be opened (a state in which the subject light beam is allowed to pass) or can be closed (a state in which the subject light beam is substantially blocked). Here, the rotation range of the blade drive lever 36 is limited by the groove 29e.

  Reference numeral 37 denotes a shutter cam gear, which is rotatably supported by a shutter cam gear shaft 29 b provided on the shutter base plate 29. The shutter cam portion 37 a formed on the shutter cam gear 37 contacts the blade drive lever roller 36 a provided on the blade drive lever 36 and rotates the blade drive lever 36 according to the rotation of the shutter cam gear 37. Specifically, the shutter cam portion 37a of the shutter cam gear 37 moves the blade driving lever 36 in a state where the traveling of the blade group 36c is completed (when the blade group 36c is in a superimposed state) clockwise in FIG. The charging operation is performed by rotating in the direction.

  Next, the operation of the shutter device 4 when actually shooting is described.

  In the state of FIG. 8, exposure is performed by a live view operation or an electronic shutter function of the image sensor 10.

  After the exposure by the image sensor 10, when the mirror cam gear 33 rotates clockwise and the shutter cam gear 37 rotates counterclockwise by the rotation of the motor 41, the state shifts to the charge start state shown in FIG. When the motor 41 further rotates, the cam surface 33a of the mirror cam gear 33 pushes the shaft portion 31b of the mirror drive lever 31, and the mirror drive lever 31 rotates counterclockwise. At the same time, when the shutter cam portion 37a of the shutter cam gear 37 pushes the blade drive lever roller 36a, the blade drive lever 36 rotates clockwise, whereby the aperture 29d is closed, and the state returns to the state of FIGS.

  In the first embodiment, the image pickup device 10 is in a light-shielding state when the blade driving lever 34 travels by releasing the charge. In the second embodiment, the image pickup device 10 moves by moving the blade driving lever 36 by releasing the charge. 10 is exposed.

  When the power of the motor 41 is transmitted to the shutter cam gear 37 and the mirror cam gear 33 and rotates, the shutter cam gear 37 puts the blade drive member 36 into a charged state, thereby closing the aperture 29d. Then, the mirror cam gear 33 takes a first phase (FIG. 7) in which the mirror driving member 31 is moved to the first position. Next, the shutter cam gear 37 releases the blade drive lever 36 to open the aperture 29d, and the mirror cam gear 33 operates the mirror drive lever 31 to the second position (FIG. 8). And take. That is, the first phase and the second phase are taken in order.
