例えば、カメラ10にX方向の像振が生じたときに、カメラボディ12に設けた像振補正スイッチSW(図1参照)を押し込むと、カメラ10に内蔵したジャイロセンサGSがカメラボディ12の角速度を検出する。すると制御基板63のX用駆動ドライバDXがこの角速度情報に基づいてカメラボディ12のX方向の移動距離(像振れ量)を演算し、さらにX方向駆動用コイルCXAと電気抵抗56に対して同じ大きさの電流を流す。電気抵抗56に流れた電流は電気抵抗56によって電流値を減じられた後にX方向駆動用コイルCXBに流れるので、X方向駆動用コイルCXBに流れる電流はX方向駆動用コイルCXAに流れる電流より小さい大きさとなり、その結果、X方向駆動用コイルCXBが発生するFX1(FX2)方向の駆動力はX方向駆動用コイルCXAが発生するFX1(FX2)方向の駆動力より小さい大きさとなる。電気抵抗56の抵抗値は、基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXAの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向距離(LA。図6参照)と基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXBの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離(LB。図6参照)との差が、X方向駆動用コイルCXAに流れる電流値(IA)とX方向駆動用コイルCXBに流れる電流値(IB)の差によって相殺されるように、その大きさを(適正値となるように)設定してある。即ち、LA:LB=IB:IAの関係が成立するように、電気抵抗56の抵抗値を設定している。そのため、一体型可動体62の重心Gを通ってX方向側辺44Xと平行な方向に延びる基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXAまでのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離よりX方向駆動用コイルCXBまでのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離が長い(X方向駆動用コイルCXAとX方向駆動用コイルCXBが基準直線SLXに関して対称でない)にも拘わらず、一体型可動体62(ステージ板40)をFX1、FX2方向に直線移動させることが可能である。従って、撮像素子44(一体型可動体62)をカメラボディ12に対して像振れ方向と反対方向にこの像振れ量と同じ距離だけFX1方向またはFX2方向に直線移動させれば(一体型可動体62のX方向のスライド量はX用ホール素子HXで検出する)、撮像素子44の像振れが補正される。
In the image shake correction apparatus 20 having the above-described configuration, the control board 63 causes an image shake correction operation by causing a current to flow to the X direction drive coils CXA and CXB and the Y direction drive coils CYA and CYB via the coil energization FPC 53. I do.
For example, when image shake in the X direction occurs in the camera 10, when the image shake correction switch SW (see FIG. 1) provided in the camera body 12 is pressed, the gyro sensor GS built in the camera 10 causes the angular velocity of the camera body 12 to move. Is detected. Then, the X drive driver DX of the control board 63 calculates the movement distance (image shake amount) of the camera body 12 in the X direction based on this angular velocity information, and the same for the X direction drive coil CXA and the electric resistance 56. A large current is applied. Since the current flowing through the electric resistance 56 is reduced in current value by the electric resistance 56 and then flows into the X direction driving coil CXB, the current flowing through the X direction driving coil CXB is smaller than the current flowing through the X direction driving coil CXA. As a result, the driving force in the FX1 (FX2) direction generated by the X direction driving coil CXB is smaller than the driving force in the FX1 (FX2) direction generated by the X direction driving coil CXA. The resistance value of the electric resistance 56 is determined by the distance in the Y direction side 44 Y (LA, see FIG. 6) from the reference straight line SLX to the driving force center position of the X direction driving coil CXA and the X direction driving coil CXB from the reference straight line SLX. The difference between the Y direction side edge 44 to the driving force center position in the Y direction (LB; see FIG. 6) is the current value (IA) flowing in the X direction driving coil CXA and the current flowing in the X direction driving coil CXB. The size is set (so as to be an appropriate value) so as to be offset by the difference between the values (IB). That is, the resistance value of the electrical resistor 56 is set so that the relationship LA: LB = IB: IA is established. Therefore, the X-direction driving coil is determined by the distance in the Y-direction side 44Y direction from the reference straight line SLX extending in the direction parallel to the X-direction side 44X through the center of gravity G of the integrated movable body 62 to the X-direction driving coil CXA. Although the distance in the Y direction side 44Y direction to CXB is long (the X direction driving coil CXA and the X direction driving coil CXB are not symmetrical with respect to the reference straight line SLX), the integrated movable body 62 (stage plate 40) Can be linearly moved in the FX1 and FX2 directions. Accordingly, if the image pickup device 44 (integral movable body 62) is linearly moved in the FX1 direction or the FX2 direction by the same distance as the image blur amount with respect to the camera body 12 in the direction opposite to the image blur direction (integral movable body). 62 is detected by the X hall element HX), and the image blur of the image sensor 44 is corrected.

一方、カメラ10にY方向の像振が生じたときに像振補正スイッチSWを押し込むと、ジャイロセンサGSがカメラボディ12の角速度を検出し、制御基板63のY用駆動ドライバDYAとY用駆動ドライバDYBがこの角速度情報に基づいてカメラボディ12のY方向の移動距離(像振れ量)を演算し、さらにY方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBに対して同じ大きさの電流を流すので、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBが同じ大きさのFY1(FY2)方向の駆動力を発生する。上記のように一体型可動体62の重心Gを通ってY方向側辺44Yと平行な方向に延びる基準直線SLYからY方向駆動用コイルCYAまでのX方向側辺44X方向の距離とY方向駆動用コイルCYBまでのX方向側辺44X方向は同一なので、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBに同じ大きさの電流を流すと、一体型可動体62(ステージ板40)はFY1、FY2(Y方向側辺44Y)と平行な方向に直線移動する。そのため撮像素子44(一体型可動体62)をカメラボディ12に対して像振れ方向と反対方向にこの像振れ量と同じ距離だけFY1方向またはFY2方向に直線移動させれば(一体型可動体62のY方向のスライド量はY用ホール素子HYで検出する)、撮像素子44の像振れが補正される。   On the other hand, when the image shake correction switch SW is pushed in when image shake in the Y direction occurs in the camera 10, the gyro sensor GS detects the angular velocity of the camera body 12, and drives the Y drive driver DYA and Y drive on the control board 63. Based on this angular velocity information, the driver DYB calculates the movement distance (image shake amount) of the camera body 12 in the Y direction, and further supplies the same current to the Y direction driving coil CYA and the Y direction driving coil CYB. Therefore, the Y-direction driving coil CYA and the Y-direction driving coil CYB generate the driving force in the FY1 (FY2) direction having the same magnitude. As described above, the distance in the X-direction side 44X direction from the reference straight line SLY extending in the direction parallel to the Y-direction side 44Y through the center of gravity G of the integrated movable body 62 and the Y-direction drive Since the X direction side 44X direction to the coil CYB is the same, if the same current flows through the Y direction driving coil CYA and the Y direction driving coil CYB, the integrated movable body 62 (stage plate 40) is FY1. , FY2 (Y-direction side edge 44Y) is linearly moved in a direction parallel to the direction. Therefore, if the image pickup device 44 (integral movable body 62) is linearly moved in the FY1 direction or the FY2 direction by the same distance as the image blur amount in the direction opposite to the image blur direction with respect to the camera body 12 (integral movable body 62). The Y-direction slide amount is detected by the Y hall element HY), and the image blur of the image sensor 44 is corrected.

またカメラ10に回転方向の像振が生じたときに像振補正スイッチSWを押し込むと、ジャイロセンサGSがカメラボディ12の角速度を検出し、制御基板63のX用駆動ドライバDXとY用駆動ドライバDYA、DYBがこの角速度情報に基づいてカメラボディ12のX方向とY方向の移動距離(像振れ量)を演算し、X方向駆動用コイルCXAと電気抵抗56に対して同じ大きさの電流を流しつつ、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBに異なる大きさの電流を流す。するとY方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBが異なる大きさの駆動力を発生するので、X方向駆動用コイルCXA、CXBによるFX1(FX2)方向の駆動力とY方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBによるFY1(FY2)方向の駆動力の合力によって、撮像素子44(一体型可動体62)が像振れ方向と反対方向にこの像振れ量と同じ距離だけ回転し、撮像素子44の像振れ(回転振れ)を補正する。   Further, when the image stabilization switch SW is pressed when the image shake in the rotation direction occurs in the camera 10, the gyro sensor GS detects the angular velocity of the camera body 12, and the X drive driver DX and the Y drive driver of the control board 63 are detected. DYA and DYB calculate the movement distance (image shake amount) of the camera body 12 in the X direction and the Y direction based on the angular velocity information, and generate the same current for the X direction driving coil CXA and the electric resistance 56. While flowing, currents of different magnitudes are passed through the Y-direction driving coil CYA and the Y-direction driving coil CYB. Then, since the Y-direction driving coil CYA and the Y-direction driving coil CYB generate different driving forces, the X-direction driving coils CXA and CXB drive the FX1 (FX2) direction and the Y-direction driving coil CYA. And the Y direction driving coil CYB, the resultant force of the driving force in the FY1 (FY2) direction causes the image sensor 44 (integral movable body 62) to rotate in the opposite direction to the image blur direction by the same distance as this image blur amount. The image blur (rotational shake) of the element 44 is corrected.

そして像振れが補正された状態でカメラボディ12に設けたシャッターボタン(図示略)を押すと、制御基板63から撮像素子用FPC48を介して撮像素子44に撮像信号(電気信号)が送られるので、撮像素子44が撮像動作を行う。さらに撮像素子44から撮像素子用FPC48を介して制御基板63に送られた撮像データ(電気信号)が、カメラボディ12の背面に設けられたディスプレイ(図示略)に表示される。   When a shutter button (not shown) provided on the camera body 12 is pressed with the image blur corrected, an image pickup signal (electric signal) is sent from the control board 63 to the image pickup device 44 via the image pickup device FPC 48. The image sensor 44 performs an imaging operation. Furthermore, image data (electrical signals) sent from the image sensor 44 to the control board 63 via the image sensor FPC 48 are displayed on a display (not shown) provided on the back surface of the camera body 12.

さらに本実施形態では制御基板63を後側ヨーク22の直後に配置せずに前側ヨーク21及び後側ヨーク22の左側に配置している。そのため像振補正装置20をZ方向に薄型化できるので、カメラボディ12をZ方向に薄型化することが可能である。
またステージ板40(一体型可動体62)が前側ヨーク21及び後側ヨーク22に対してX方向にスライドしたときに、撮像素子用FPC48の変形部49及びコイル通電用FPC53の変形部54が左右方向に伸縮(変形)するので、撮像素子用FPC48及びコイル通電用FPC53によってステージ板40(一体型可動体62)のスライド動作が妨げられることがない。そのためステージ板40(一体型可動体62)はX方向に円滑にスライド可能である。同様にステージ板40(一体型可動体62)が前側ヨーク21及び後側ヨーク22に対してY方向にスライドしたとき及び相対回転したときは、変形部49及び変形部54が自身の右側片49a、54aと左側片49b、54bを非平行にしながら変形するので、ステージ板40(一体型可動体62)はY方向及び回転方向に円滑にスライド可能である。
さらに変形部49及び変形部54の直前にFPCカバー部材58の前側保護片61が位置し、かつ右側片49a、54aの右側に右側保護片60が位置しているため、カメラボディ12をZ方向に薄型化した場合に、カメラボディ12の内部に設けた像振補正装置20以外の部品(例えば、図示を省略したシャッター)がFPCカバー部材58の前方に位置することになっても、変形部49(撮像素子用FPC48)と変形部54(コイル通電用FPC53)が当該部品に接触することはない。さらに変形部49及び変形部54の右側片49a、54aが前側ヨーク21や後側ヨーク22の左端部に接触することもない。従って、カメラボディ12をZ方向に薄型化した場合であっても、撮像素子用FPC48及びコイル通電用FPC53の摩耗や損傷を防止できる。
さらに撮像素子用FPC48の変形部49より右側に位置する部分がフレキ逃げ用凹部22a内に位置している。そのためカメラボディ12をZ方向に薄型化するために前側ヨーク21と後側ヨーク22のZ方向距離を短くした場合においても、撮像素子用FPC48の変形部49より右側に位置する部分が後側ヨーク22に接触することはなく、撮像素子用FPC48の摩耗や損傷を防止できる。
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control board 63 is not disposed immediately after the rear yoke 22 but is disposed on the left side of the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22. Therefore, since the image shake correction apparatus 20 can be thinned in the Z direction, the camera body 12 can be thinned in the Z direction.
When the stage plate 40 (integral movable body 62) slides in the X direction with respect to the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22, the deformation portion 49 of the imaging element FPC 48 and the deformation portion 54 of the coil energization FPC 53 are left and right. Since it expands and contracts (deforms) in the direction, the sliding operation of the stage plate 40 (integrated movable body 62) is not hindered by the imaging element FPC 48 and the coil energization FPC 53. Therefore, the stage plate 40 (integrated movable body 62) can smoothly slide in the X direction. Similarly, when the stage plate 40 (integral movable body 62) slides in the Y direction with respect to the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22 and rotates relative to the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22, the deforming portion 49 and the deforming portion 54 have their right side pieces 49a. , 54a and the left side pieces 49b, 54b are deformed while being non-parallel, so that the stage plate 40 (integral movable body 62) can smoothly slide in the Y direction and the rotational direction.
Further, since the front protective piece 61 of the FPC cover member 58 is located immediately before the deformable portion 49 and the deformable portion 54 and the right protective piece 60 is located on the right side of the right pieces 49a and 54a, the camera body 12 is moved in the Z direction. Even if a component other than the image shake correction device 20 provided inside the camera body 12 (for example, a shutter not shown) is positioned in front of the FPC cover member 58 when the thickness is reduced, the deforming portion 49 (imaging element FPC 48) and the deformable portion 54 (coil energization FPC 53) do not come into contact with the component. Further, the right side pieces 49 a and 54 a of the deforming portion 49 and the deforming portion 54 do not contact the left end portions of the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22. Therefore, even when the camera body 12 is thinned in the Z direction, the wear and damage of the imaging element FPC 48 and the coil energization FPC 53 can be prevented.
Further, the portion located on the right side of the deformed portion 49 of the image sensor FPC 48 is located in the flex escape recess 22a. Therefore, even when the distance between the front yoke 21 and the rear yoke 22 in the Z direction is shortened in order to reduce the thickness of the camera body 12 in the Z direction, the portion located on the right side of the deformed portion 49 of the imaging element FPC 48 is the rear yoke. Thus, the wear and damage of the image sensor FPC 48 can be prevented.

以上、上記実施形態を利用して本発明を説明したが、本発明は本実施形態に限定されるものではなく、様々な変更を施しながら実施可能である。
例えば、図10に示す第一の変形例のように基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXAの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離よりX方向駆動用コイルCXBの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離を長くしつつ、X方向駆動用コイルCXBを撮像素子44の左側に配置(ステージ板40に固定)し、図9(b)と同じ態様で電気抵抗56をコイル通電用FPC53及び制御基板63に形成された電気回路上に配置してもよい。この変形例の場合も上記実施形態と同様の作用効果を発揮可能である。
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to this embodiment, It can implement, giving various changes.
For example, the driving force center of the X-direction driving coil CXB is calculated from the distance in the Y-direction side 44Y from the reference straight line SLX to the driving force center position of the X-direction driving coil CXA as in the first modification shown in FIG. The X-direction drive coil CXB is disposed on the left side of the image sensor 44 (fixed to the stage plate 40) while increasing the distance in the Y-direction side 44 to the position, and the electric resistance in the same manner as in FIG. 9B. 56 may be arranged on an electric circuit formed on the coil energization FPC 53 and the control board 63. In the case of this modification as well, the same operational effects as in the above embodiment can be exhibited.

図11に示す第二の変形例は、撮像素子44の左側に配置したX方向駆動用コイルCXBの上部と撮像素子44の右側に配置したX方向駆動用コイルCXAの下部のY方向側辺44Y方向位置を一部一致させた変形例である。この場合も、基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXAの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離よりX方向駆動用コイルCXBの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離を長くしており、さらに図9(b)と同じ態様で電気抵抗56をコイル通電用FPC53及び制御基板63に形成された電気回路上に配置している。そのためこの場合も上記実施形態と同様の作用効果を発揮可能である。   The second modification shown in FIG. 11 is a Y-direction side edge 44Y on the upper side of the X-direction drive coil CXB arranged on the left side of the image sensor 44 and on the lower side of the X-direction drive coil CXA arranged on the right side of the image sensor 44. It is a modification in which the direction position is partially matched. Also in this case, the Y-direction side edge 44Y direction from the reference straight line SLX to the Y-direction side edge 44Y direction distance from the driving force center position of the X-direction driving coil CXA to the driving force center position of the X-direction driving coil CXB. The distance is increased, and the electric resistor 56 is arranged on the electric circuit formed on the coil energizing FPC 53 and the control board 63 in the same manner as in FIG. 9B. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to exert the same effect as the above embodiment.

また、前側ヨーク21側ではなく後側ヨーク22側に、X用磁石MX、及び、Y用磁石MYを固定してもよい。   Further, the X magnet MX and the Y magnet MY may be fixed to the rear yoke 22 side instead of the front yoke 21 side.

また電気抵抗56を省略した上で、前側ヨーク21やステージ板40にX方向駆動用コイルCXBと対向するX用磁石MXが発生する磁界の強さ(磁束密度)を、X方向駆動用コイルCXAと対向するX用磁石MXに比べて低減させる磁束低減手段(例えば、X方向駆動用コイルCXBと対向するX用磁石MXの一部を覆う被覆材や、X方向駆動用コイルCXBと対向するX用磁石MXの磁界に対して磁力を及ぼすことにより、該X用磁石MXの磁界の磁束密度を低減させる永久磁石などの駆動力低減手段)を設けても良い。この場合はX方向駆動用コイルCXAとX方向駆動用コイルCXBに同じ大きさの電流が流れるものの、X方向駆動用コイルCXBがX方向駆動用コイルCXAに比べて磁束密度が小さい磁界中に位置することになるので、結果的にX方向駆動用コイルCXBが発生する駆動力はX方向駆動用コイルCXAが発生する駆動力より小さくなる。そのため上記実施形態と同様の作用効果が得られる。   Further, the electric resistance 56 is omitted, and the strength (magnetic flux density) of the magnetic field generated by the X magnet MX facing the X direction driving coil CXB on the front yoke 21 and the stage plate 40 is determined as the X direction driving coil CXA. Magnetic flux reduction means for reducing the magnetic flux compared with the X magnet MX facing (for example, a covering material covering a part of the X magnet MX facing the X direction driving coil CXB, or the X facing the X direction driving coil CXB) A driving force reducing means such as a permanent magnet for reducing the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field of the X magnet MX by applying a magnetic force to the magnetic field of the magnet for MX may be provided. In this case, although the same current flows in the X direction driving coil CXA and the X direction driving coil CXB, the X direction driving coil CXB is located in a magnetic field having a smaller magnetic flux density than the X direction driving coil CXA. As a result, the driving force generated by the X-direction driving coil CXB is smaller than the driving force generated by the X-direction driving coil CXA. Therefore, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

また基準直線SLXからX方向駆動用コイルCXAの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離よりX方向駆動用コイルCXBの駆動力中心位置までのY方向側辺44Y方向の距離を短くした上で、電気抵抗56を利用することによりX方向駆動用コイルCXAに流れる電流の大きさをX方向駆動用コイルCXBに比べて小さくしたり、又は、磁束低減手段を利用してX方向駆動用コイルCXAと対向するX用磁石MXが発生する磁界の磁束密度をX方向駆動用コイルCXBと対向するX用磁石MXが発生する磁界の磁束密度より小さくしてもよい。   Further, the distance in the Y-direction side 44Y direction from the reference straight line SLX to the driving force center position of the X-direction driving coil CXA is shorter than the distance in the Y-direction side edge 44Y direction from the reference straight line SLX to the driving force center position of the X-direction driving coil CXA. Then, by using the electric resistance 56, the magnitude of the current flowing through the X direction driving coil CXA is made smaller than that of the X direction driving coil CXB, or the magnetic flux reducing means is used to drive the X direction. The magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated by the X magnet MX facing the coil CXA may be smaller than the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field generated by the X magnet MX facing the X direction driving coil CXB.

さらに、基準直線SLYからY方向駆動用コイルCYAまでのX方向側辺44X方向の距離と基準直線SLYからY方向駆動用コイルCYBまでのX方向側辺44X方向が互いに異なる場合は、Y用駆動ドライバDYAからY方向駆動用コイルCYAに流す電流の大きさと、Y用駆動ドライバDYBからY方向駆動用コイルCYBに流す電流の大きさを互いに異ならせることにより、Y方向の像振れを補正する。例えば、基準直線SLYからY方向駆動用コイルCYAまでの距離がY方向駆動用コイルCYBまでの距離より長い場合は、Y方向駆動用コイルCYBに流す電流の大きさをY方向駆動用コイルCYAに流す電流の大きさより小さくすることによりY方向の像振れを補正する(一体型可動体62をFY1方向またはFY2方向に直線移動させる)。   Further, when the distance in the X direction side 44X direction from the reference straight line SLY to the Y direction drive coil CYA and the X direction side edge 44X direction from the reference straight line SLY to the Y direction drive coil CYB are different from each other, the Y drive Image blurring in the Y direction is corrected by making the magnitude of the current flowing from the driver DYA to the Y-direction driving coil CYA and the magnitude of the current flowing from the Y driving driver DYB to the Y-direction driving coil CYB differ from each other. For example, when the distance from the reference straight line SLY to the Y-direction drive coil CYA is longer than the distance from the Y-direction drive coil CYB, the magnitude of the current flowing through the Y-direction drive coil CYB is set in the Y-direction drive coil CYA. The image blur in the Y direction is corrected by making it smaller than the magnitude of the flowing current (the integral movable body 62 is linearly moved in the FY1 direction or the FY2 direction).

さらにX方向駆動用コイルCXA、CXBとY方向駆動用コイルCYA、CYBの機能を入れ替えても良い。即ち、X方向駆動用コイルCXAとX方向駆動用コイルCXBが異なる大きさの駆動力を発生することを可能にした上で、Y方向駆動用コイルCYA、CYBが常に同じ大きさの駆動力を発生するように、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBの一方側に駆動力低減手段(例えば、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAとY方向駆動用コイルCYBの一方に接続する電気抵抗56や、Y方向駆動用コイルCYAと対向するY用磁石MYとY方向駆動用コイルCYBと対向するY用磁石MYの一方の磁界の磁束密度を他方に比べて低減させる磁束低減手段)を設けても良い。
なお、X方向駆動用コイルとY方向駆動用コイルのうち回転制御を行う側のものを、3つ以上のコイルによって構成してもよい。
Further, the functions of the X direction driving coils CXA and CXB and the Y direction driving coils CYA and CYB may be interchanged. That is, the X direction driving coil CXA and the X direction driving coil CXB can generate different driving forces, and the Y direction driving coils CYA and CYB always have the same driving force. As shown, an electric resistance 56 connected to one of the Y direction driving coil CYA and the Y direction driving coil CYB is provided on one side of the Y direction driving coil CYB and the Y direction driving coil CYB. Or a magnetic flux reducing means for reducing the magnetic flux density of one magnetic field of the Y magnet MY facing the Y direction driving coil CY and the Y magnet MY facing the Y direction driving coil CYB compared to the other. Also good.
Of the X-direction driving coil and the Y-direction driving coil, the one that performs rotation control may be constituted by three or more coils.

また図12に示す第三の変形例のように、FPCカバー部材58の代わりに、取付片59、右側保護片60、前側保護片61、及び、前側保護片61の左縁部から後方に延びる左側防護片66を備える構造のFPCカバー部材65(の取付片59)をステージ板40に固定してもよい。このようにすれば撮像素子用FPC48の変形部49とコイル通電用FPC53の変形部54の前部と右側部だけでなく、左側部をも左側防護片66によって保護できる。
さらに、図13に示す第四の変形例のように、前側保護片61に相当する部分のみを有する構造のFPCカバー部材67を採用し、FPCカバー部材67の右端部をステージ板40に固定してもよい。
12, instead of the FPC cover member 58, the mounting piece 59, the right protective piece 60, the front protective piece 61, and the left edge portion of the front protective piece 61 extend rearward. The FPC cover member 65 (attachment piece 59) having a structure including the left protection piece 66 may be fixed to the stage plate 40. In this way, not only the front and right sides of the deformed portion 49 of the imaging element FPC 48 and the deformed portion 54 of the coil energizing FPC 53 but also the left side can be protected by the left protection piece 66.
Further, as in the fourth modification shown in FIG. 13, an FPC cover member 67 having a structure corresponding only to the front protective piece 61 is employed, and the right end portion of the FPC cover member 67 is fixed to the stage plate 40. May be.

また図14に示す第五の変形例の形状で実施してもよい。
この変形例の後側ヨーク70は、X方向に延びる二辺とY方向に延びる二辺からなる矩形枠形状であり、その中央部には中央貫通孔71が形成してある。さらに後側ヨーク70の左側部には側方貫通孔72が、中央貫通孔71とは非連通の長孔として形成してある。
図示するように、撮像素子用FPC48の右側片49a及びコイル通電用FPC53の右側片54aは、後側ヨーク70の後方から側方貫通孔72に挿入してある(後側ヨーク70の左側部にはカバー部材58(65、67)の取付片59が固定してあるが、カバー部材の図示は省略してある)。
この変形例の後側ヨーク70はX方向に延びる上下の二片の左端部をY方向に延びる左側の辺部で連結しているので、後側ヨーク22に比べて機械的強度が高い。
Moreover, you may implement in the shape of the 5th modification shown in FIG.
The rear yoke 70 of this modification has a rectangular frame shape composed of two sides extending in the X direction and two sides extending in the Y direction, and a central through hole 71 is formed at the center thereof. Further, a lateral through hole 72 is formed in the left side portion of the rear yoke 70 as a long hole that is not in communication with the central through hole 71.
As shown in the drawing, the right side piece 49a of the imaging element FPC 48 and the right side piece 54a of the coil energizing FPC 53 are inserted into the side through holes 72 from the rear of the rear yoke 70 (on the left side of the rear yoke 70). The cover member 58 (65, 67) has a fixed mounting piece 59, but the cover member is not shown).
In this modified example, the rear yoke 70 is connected to the left ends of two upper and lower pieces extending in the X direction by the left side extending in the Y direction, and therefore has higher mechanical strength than the rear yoke 22.

さらに、ステージ装置をレンズ鏡筒11内に設けた上で、ステージ板40に、撮像素子44の代わりに(撮像素子44と同じ位置に)補正レンズ(ブレ補正手段)を固定してもよい。
撮影光路中に位置する補正レンズはレンズ群L1〜L3と共に撮像光学系を構成するレンズである。ステージ板40がスライドすると、補正レンズがレンズ光軸OAに対して直交する面内を移動するので、補正レンズによって像振れが補正される。
Furthermore, after the stage device is provided in the lens barrel 11, a correction lens (blur correction unit) may be fixed to the stage plate 40 instead of the image sensor 44 (at the same position as the image sensor 44).
The correction lens positioned in the photographing optical path is a lens that constitutes an imaging optical system together with the lens groups L1 to L3. When the stage plate 40 slides, the correction lens moves in a plane orthogonal to the lens optical axis OA, so that the image blur is corrected by the correction lens.

さらにステージ板40の直後に配置したステージ板40と平行なリジッド基板(回路基板)に撮像素子44のリードを半田付けし、該リジッド基板に撮像素子用FPC48の右側端部を接続してもよい。   Further, the lead of the image sensor 44 may be soldered to a rigid board (circuit board) parallel to the stage board 40 disposed immediately after the stage board 40, and the right end of the image sensor FPC 48 may be connected to the rigid board. .

また、ステージ板40に、2つのX用磁石MX(駆動部材)(第1駆動部材)をY方向側辺44Y方向に並べて固定すると共に2つのY用磁石MY(駆動部材)(第2駆動部材)をX方向側辺44X方向に並べて固定し、かつ、前側ヨーク21(又は後側ヨーク22)にX方向駆動用コイルCXA、CXBをY方向側辺44Y方向に並べて固定すると共にY方向駆動用コイルCYA、CYBをX方向側辺44X方向に並べて固定してもよい(この場合は、2つのX用磁石MXの中で基準直線SLYからのX方向側辺44X方向の距離が長いものに、当該X用磁石MXの磁界の磁束密度を低減させる駆動力低減手段を設ける)。   In addition, two X magnets MX (driving member) (first driving member) are arranged side by side in the Y direction side 44Y direction and fixed to the stage plate 40, and two Y magnets MY (driving member) (second driving member). ) Are arranged and fixed in the X direction side 44X direction, and the X direction driving coils CXA and CXB are fixed in the Y direction side side 44Y direction and fixed to the front yoke 21 (or the rear yoke 22). The coils CYA and CYB may be arranged side by side in the X direction side 44X direction and fixed (in this case, the two X magnets MX have a long distance in the X direction side side 44X direction from the reference straight line SLY, Driving force reducing means for reducing the magnetic flux density of the magnetic field of the X magnet MX is provided).

さらに、上記実施形態では本発明をステージ板40が回転可能な像振補正装置20に適用したが、ステージ板40がX方向とY方向にのみ直線移動する公知の像振補正装置に適用することや、像振補正装置とは用途が異なるステージ装置(特定の部材がX方向やY方向への直線移動や回転が可能な装置)に適用することも可能である。   Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the image shake correction apparatus 20 in which the stage plate 40 can rotate. However, the present invention is applied to a known image shake correction apparatus in which the stage plate 40 moves linearly only in the X direction and the Y direction. Alternatively, it can be applied to a stage apparatus (an apparatus in which a specific member can linearly move or rotate in the X direction or the Y direction) having a different use from the image shake correction apparatus.
