Further, the rectilinear guide 22 corresponds to the cam follower pin 61 in the lens holding frame 60, and in the present embodiment, three strips are formed at equal intervals (120 ° intervals) in the circumferential direction. That is, the fixed ring 20 includes six straight guides 21 and 22.

The cam ring 30 has a cylindrical shape with a length corresponding to the fixed ring 20 fitted to the inner periphery of the fixed ring 20 with a predetermined tolerance, and has a fitting flange 31 on the outer periphery on the front end side thereof, and a proximal end. Operated portions 32U and 32L are provided at two locations in the circumferential direction on the side.
The operated portions 32U and 32L are once bent toward the inner peripheral side of the cam ring 30, and then two operated projections 32t and 32w (shown in FIG. 3) are formed to project toward the back side.
The positions of the operated portions 32U and 32L in the circumferential direction correspond to the positions where operation members 40U and 40L described later are disposed, and the operation arms of the operation members 40U and 40L are respectively provided between the operated protrusions 32t and 32w. 41 is inserted.

The cam ring 30 includes a second group cam groove 34 that moves the second lens group L2, and a third group cam groove 35 that moves the third lens group L3. The second group cam groove 34 and the third group cam groove 35 are formed at three equal intervals (120 ° intervals) in the circumferential direction corresponding to cam follower pins 51 and 61 in lens holding frames 50 and 60, which will be described later. .

Is formed at an angle with respect to the optical axis OA so that the position changes in a predetermined relationship in the circumferential direction of the cam ring 30.
The cam ring 30 is slidably rotatable with the fitting flange 31 fitted to the inner periphery of the fixed ring 20 and the rear edge thereof being locked to the engaging portion 23 of the fixed ring 20. It is mounted so as not to move in the OA direction.

The two operation members 40U and 40L have exactly the same shape and are formed in an L-shaped side surface. The long side is an operation arm 41 for operating the cam ring 30 and the short side is fixed wider than the operation arm 41 in the circumferential direction. Part 42 is formed. The operation members 40U and 40L are fastened and fixed to the zoom operation ring 11 by the fixing part 42, and the tip of the operation arm 41 is fitted to the operated parts 32U and 32L (between the operated protrusions 32t and 32w) in the cam ring 30. Is provided. Thereby, the operation members 40U and 40L can rotate around the rotation center (optical axis OA) with the rotation of the zoom operation ring 11, and can rotate the cam ring 30 via the operated portions 32U and 32L. It is like that.
The arrangement positions of the two operation members 40U and 40L in the circumferential direction are, for example, 30 from the symmetrical position while avoiding a symmetrical position (that is, a position 180 ° apart in the circumferential direction) across the rotation center of the zoom operation ring 11. It is set to deviate.

The lens holding frame 50 that holds the second lens group L2 and the lens holding frame 60 that holds the third lens group L3 are both outer diameters that are slidably fitted into the cam ring 30 and have lens holding. Cam follower pins 51 are erected on the outer periphery of the frame 50, and cam follower pins 61 are erected on the outer periphery of the lens holding frame 60 at three equal intervals (that is, at 120 ° intervals) in the circumferential direction.
The cam follower pins 51 and 61 are cylindrical, and their center axes are aligned with the radial direction of the lens holding frames 50 and 60, and are fastened to the outer peripheral surfaces of the lens holding frames 50 and 60 by screws so as to be rotatable. Yes.

The lens holding frame 50 that holds the second lens group L2 is slidably fitted into the cam ring 30 and the cam follower pin 51 is slidably fitted into the second group cam groove 34 of the cam ring 30. The tip is fitted to the straight guide 21 of the fixed ring 20 so as to be slidable. The cam follower pin 51 is located at the intersection of the second group cam groove 34 having an angle with respect to the optical axis OA and the rectilinear guide 21 parallel to the optical axis OA.
The lens holding frame 60 that holds the third lens unit L3 is slidably fitted into the cam ring 30 and the cam follower pin 61 is slidably fitted into the third group cam groove 35 of the cam ring 30. The tip is fitted to the straight guide 22 of the stationary ring 20 so as to be slidable. The cam follower pin 61 is located at the intersection of the third group cam groove 35 having an angle with respect to the optical axis OA and the rectilinear guide 22 parallel to the optical axis OA.

  When the zoom operation ring 11 is rotated, the zooming lens moving mechanism configured as described above operates as follows, and the lens holding frame 50 (second lens group L2) and the lens holding frame 60 (third lens). The group L3) is moved in the direction of the optical axis OA in a predetermined relationship to change the focal length.

That is, the cam ring 30 rotates through the operated portions 32U and 32L by the rotation of the operation members 40U and 40L accompanying the rotation operation of the zoom operation ring 11.
When the cam ring 30 rotates with respect to the fixed ring 20, the intersection of the second group cam groove 34 of the cam ring 30 and the straight guide 21 of the fixed ring 20, and the straight movement of the third group cam groove 35 of the cam ring 30 and the fixed ring 20. The intersection with the guide 22 changes in the direction of the optical axis OA according to the formation angle of the second group cam groove 34 and the third group cam groove 35, respectively.

Accordingly, the cam follower pin 51 of the lens holding frame 50 is operated by the second group cam groove 34 of the cam ring 30 and is defined by the rectilinear guide 21 (along the rectilinear guide 21) and moves in the optical axis OA direction. As a result, the lens holding frame 50 (second lens group L2) moves in the cam ring 30 in the direction of the optical axis OA without rotation.
Similarly, the cam follower pin 61 of the lens holding frame 60 is operated by the third group cam groove 35 of the cam ring 30 and is defined by the rectilinear guide 22 (along the rectilinear guide 22) and moves in the optical axis OA direction. As a result, the lens holding frame 60 (third lens group L3) moves in the direction of the optical axis OA without rotation in the cam ring 30.

As described above, the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 are rotated in the direction of the optical axis OA in a predetermined relationship defined by the shapes of the second group cam groove 34 and the third group cam groove 35 by the rotation of the zoom operation ring 11, respectively. As a result, the focal length of the lens barrel 1 changes within a predetermined range.
The positions of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 with respect to the rotation position of the zoom operation ring 11 (that is, the focal length) and the direction of change of the focal length with respect to the rotation direction of the zoom operation ring 11 are the It is defined by the third group cam groove 35.

In the present embodiment, the second lens group L2 shown in FIG. 2 is positioned on the front side of the cam ring 30, and the third lens group L3 is positioned slightly rearward in the front-rear direction center of the cam ring 30. The focal length of the lens barrel 1 is set to the shortest wide angle end.
As shown in FIG. 3, from the wide-angle end, the zoom operation ring 11 is rotated clockwise as viewed from the back side, so that the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 are respectively in accordance with the rotation angle. Moving in the direction of the optical axis OA, the focal length of the lens barrel 1 changes gradually longer.
Then, as shown in FIG. 4, in the state where the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 are located close to the rear side of the cam ring 30, the telephoto end with the longest focal length of the lens barrel 1 It is set to be.

  In the zooming lens moving mechanism as described above, the cam ring 30 is rotationally operated via the operated portion 32 provided at the end portion on the back side thereof, so that it is twisted between the end portion on the front end side. Force acts. For this reason, when a rotational operation force acts on the cam ring 30 during zoom operation, the cam ring 30 tilts inside the fixed ring 20, and as a result, the lens group L held by the cam ring 30 moves in the optical axis direction. It may tilt from a vertical direction.

Here, during the zoom operation from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end and during the zoom operation from the telephoto side to the wide-angle side, the rotational blurring of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 held by the cam ring 30 is prevented. The generation mode (lens tilt angle) may be different. This is presumably due to the following reasons.
That is, at the wide-angle end and the telephoto end, the respective positions of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 in the cam ring 30 and the relative positional relationship between them are different. Further, the position of the center of gravity changes, and the stability of the cam ring 30 in the fixed ring 20 and the resistance related to the rotation of the cam ring 30 also change. For this reason, the posture of the cam ring 30 is different between the zoom operation from the wide angle side to the telephoto side and the zoom operation from the telephoto side to the wide angle side. As a result, the second lens group held by the cam ring 30 is different. The inclinations of L2 and the third lens unit L3 are different when the zoom operation is reciprocated.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cam ring 30 is rotated by the two operation members 40U and 40L arranged in the circumferential direction, and the operation action mode is changed according to the zoom operation direction, so that the zoom operation can be performed during reciprocation. A difference in inclination between the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 is suppressed.
As shown in FIG. 3, the operating member 40U located on the upper side in the drawing has its operating arm 41 in either the clockwise direction (wide angle side → telephoto side) or counterclockwise (telephoto side → wide angle side). Also, the cam ring 30 is fitted so as to be in contact with the operated protrusions 32t and 32w of the operated portion 32U.
On the other hand, the operation member 40L positioned on the lower side in the figure has its operation arm 41 abutting on the operation projection 32w of the operation portion 32L in the cam ring 30 in the counterclockwise direction (from the telephoto side to the wide-angle side). Around the rotation (from the wide angle side to the telephoto side), a gap G is set between the operated portion 32L and the operated projection 32t so as not to come into contact therewith. In addition, since the operated protrusion 32t in the operated portion 32L does not function, the configuration may be omitted.

  With such a configuration, when performing a zoom operation in which the zoom operation ring 11 is rotated clockwise in FIG. 3 to change the focal length from the wide angle side to the telephoto side, the operation arm of the upper operation member 40U in FIG. 41 is in contact with the operated protrusion 32t of the operated portion 32U in the cam ring 30 and is rotated only, and the lower operating member 40L does not operate to rotate. Further, in the zoom operation in which the zoom operation ring 11 is rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 3 to change the focal length from the telephoto side to the wide angle side, the respective operation arms 41 of both the upper and lower operation members 40U and 40L. Rotates in contact with the operated protrusions 32w of the operated portions 32U and 32L of the cam ring 30.

  That is, at the wide-angle end, as shown in FIG. 2, the second lens unit L2 is positioned on the front side of the cam ring 30 and the third lens unit L3 is positioned slightly on the rear side in the front-rear direction of the cam ring 30. The weight distribution inside the cam ring 30 is averaged, and the center of gravity position GW is substantially at the center of the cam ring 30 in the optical axis direction. For this reason, the cam ring 30 is stably held in a balanced manner on the stationary ring 20, and the twist is small even if it is rotated at the rear end. Therefore, in the zoom operation from the wide-angle side to the telephoto side, the cam ring 30 is less constrained by one operating member 40U than when the cam ring 30 is rotationally operated by the two operating members 40U and 40L. The rotation of the cam ring 30 makes the change in the posture of the cam ring 30 (the inclination of the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3) small and natural.

  On the other hand, at the telephoto end, as shown in FIG. 4, the second lens group L2 and the third lens group L3 are located close to the rear side of the cam ring 30, and the center of gravity position GT is set to the operated portions 32U, 32L. Close to. For this reason, the restraining force on the front end side of the cam ring 30 by the fixed ring 20 is reduced, and if the rotation operation is performed in this state, the cam ring 30 is twisted to easily change its posture, and the second lens group L2 and the third lens group L3 The slope changes. Therefore, in the zoom operation from the telephoto side to the wide angle side, the cam ring 30 is restrained by the two operation members 40U and 40L to perform a stable rotation operation.

  As described above, when the zoom operation is performed from the wide-angle side to the telephoto side, the cam ring 30 is rotated by only one operation member 40U, and when the zoom operation is performed from the telephoto side to the wide-angle side, By rotating the cam ring 30 with the operation members 40U and 40L, the difference in the posture change of the cam ring 30 (that is, the inclination between the second lens group L2 and the third lens group L3) during the reciprocation of the zoom operation can be reduced.

FIG. 5 shows a graph of results obtained by experimenting with various configurations and measuring the difference in inclination between the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 during the reciprocation of the zoom operation.
In FIG. 5, the vertical axis represents the difference in inclination when the zoom operation is reciprocated. The contents of the configuration shown on the horizontal axis are as follows.
A: One operation member is provided, and this one operation member acts when zooming in both directions.
B: A configuration in which two operation members are provided, and the two operation members act during zoom operations in both directions.
C: Two operation members are provided, and two operation members act when zooming from the wide-angle side to the telephoto side, and only one operation member acts when zooming from the telephoto side to the wide-angle side. Configuration to do. In other words, the present invention has a configuration that reverses the action.
D: Configuration according to this embodiment. In other words, two operation members are provided, and two operation members act when zooming from the telephoto side to the wide angle side, and only one operation member acts when zooming from the wide angle side to the telephoto side. It is the structure to do.

  As can be seen from FIG. 5, in the configuration according to the present embodiment indicated by D in the drawing, the difference in inclination between the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 during the reciprocation of the zoom operation is significant as compared with the other configurations. Therefore, the effect is proven.

As described above, this embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The lens barrel 1 includes two operation members 40U and 40L in the circumferential direction that rotate the cam ring 30 that holds and moves the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3 that are zooming lenses. When the zoom operation is performed to change the focal length from the wide angle side to the telephoto side, only one operation member 40U rotates the cam ring 30 and the other operation member 40L does not rotate and acts from the telephoto side. Both zoom members 40U and 40L are configured to rotate the cam ring 30 during zoom operation for changing to the wide angle side. Thereby, the difference in inclination of the zooming lens (the second lens unit L2 and the third lens unit L3) during the reciprocation of the zoom operation can be reduced.

(2) The arrangement positions of the two operation members 40U and 40L in the circumferential direction are set so as to avoid a symmetrical position (that is, a position 180 degrees apart in the circumferential direction) across the rotation center of the zoom operation ring 11. As a result, the operation members 40U and 40L are arranged in a straight line in the vertical direction, whereby the posture change caused by the cam ring 30 falling by its own weight in the range of looseness (inclinations of the second lens group L2 and the third lens group L3). Can be prevented.
