次に、本実施例における防塵ゴム13の作用について説明する。図6は固定鏡筒12と防塵ゴム13の斜視図を示し、図7は防塵ゴム13の断面図を示す。また、図8(a)は固定鏡筒12と防塵ゴム13の側面図を示し、図8(b)はその断面図(断面A−A)を示す。図9は図8(b)の部分拡大図を示す。防塵ゴム13は開口部13bを有したゴム製の部材であり、4箇所の係合穴13a(被係合部)を有する。係合穴13aが固定鏡筒12の側面に設けた4箇所の係合部12aに係合することによって、防塵ゴム13は固定鏡筒12に固定される。防塵ゴム13は、略四角錐台形状の第1の封止部13cと、撮影レンズユニット11の光軸に直交する方向に延設して形成された2箇所の略矩形平板形状の第2の封止部13dを有する。第1の封止部13cおよび第2の封止部13dの厚みは、防塵ゴム13のうちの第1の封止部13cおよび第2の封止部13d以外の箇所の厚みよりも薄く作られている。第1の封止部13cと第2の封止部13dの厚みは同じであっても、一方が他方より厚い構成であってもよい。第2の封止部13dの形状は、上述した略矩形平板形状に限定されるものではなく、撮影レンズユニット11の光軸方向に突出する凸形状であればよい。 Next, the action of the dustproof rubber 13 in this embodiment will be described. FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the fixed lens barrel 12 and the dustproof rubber 13, and FIG. 7 shows a cross-sectional view of the dustproof rubber 13. Further, FIG. 8A shows a side view of the fixed lens barrel 12 and the dustproof rubber 13, and FIG. 8B shows a cross-sectional view (cross section AA) thereof. FIG. 9 shows a partially enlarged view of FIG. 8 (b). The dustproof rubber 13 is a rubber member having an opening 13b, and has four engaging holes 13a (engaged portions). The dustproof rubber 13 is fixed to the fixed lens barrel 12 by engaging the engaging holes 13a with the four engaging portions 12a provided on the side surface of the fixed lens barrel 12. The dustproof rubber 13 has a first sealing portion 13c having a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape and a second substantially rectangular flat plate shape formed by extending in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the photographing lens unit 11. It has a sealing portion 13d. The thickness of the first sealing portion 13c and the second sealing portion 13d is made thinner than the thickness of the portion other than the first sealing portion 13c and the second sealing portion 13d of the dustproof rubber 13. ing. The thickness of the first sealing portion 13c and the second sealing portion 13d may be the same, or one of them may be thicker than the other. The shape of the second sealing portion 13d is not limited to the substantially rectangular flat plate shape described above, and may be a convex shape protruding in the optical axis direction of the photographing lens unit 11.

防塵ゴム13は係合穴13a周辺を光軸方向被写体側に延在した延在部13e(図9(a))を有しており、固定鏡筒12の外形12eからはみ出るまで延在される(延在部の端部は、固定鏡筒の端部より外側に位置する)。その結果、延在部13eを掴むことで、係合穴13aを係合部12aに係合させて防塵ゴム13を固定鏡筒12に取り付けたり取り外したりする際の組立作業を容易に行うことが可能となる。ここでは、固定鏡筒12の外形12eからはみ出るまで延在部13eを延在させているが、係合部12aと係合穴13aとの取り付け取り外しがし易い形状であればよく、例えば、延在部13e近傍に固定鏡筒12に凹形状12f(図9(b))があってもよく、もしくは、延在部13eにアーチ形状13f(図9(c))または凸形状13g(図9(d))があってもよい。 The dustproof rubber 13 has an extending portion 13e (FIG. 9A) extending around the engaging hole 13a toward the subject in the optical axis direction, and extends until it protrudes from the outer shape 12e of the fixed lens barrel 12. (The end of the extension is located outside the end of the fixed lens barrel). As a result, by grasping the extending portion 13e, it is possible to easily perform the assembly work when the engaging hole 13a is engaged with the engaging portion 12a and the dustproof rubber 13 is attached to or detached from the fixed lens barrel 12. It will be possible. Here, the extending portion 13e is extended until it protrudes from the outer shape 12e of the fixed lens barrel 12, but the shape may be such that the engaging portion 12a and the engaging hole 13a can be easily attached and detached. The fixed lens barrel 12 may have a concave shape 12f (FIG. 9 (b)) in the vicinity of the existing portion 13e, or the extending portion 13e may have an arch shape 13f (FIG. 9 (c)) or a convex shape 13 g (FIG. 9). (D)) may be present.

図10〜図13は、フィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12に組み込む際のシーケンスを示した図である。図10はフィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17の組み込み開始直後の状態を示す図である。固定鏡筒12には防塵ゴム13が取り付けられ、撮像素子基板14が複数の接着部12cで接着固定されている。なお、本実施例では撮像素子基板14は固定鏡筒12に接着固定されているが、螺子で固定されていても、あるいは弾性部材で付勢されて固定されていてもよい。この状態で、固定鏡筒12の側面に設けた開口部12bより、赤外カットフィルタ18とダミーガラス19を固定したフィルタ保持枠17とフィルタベース16を図中矢印で示す光軸直交方向に挿入する。 10 to 13 are views showing a sequence when the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are incorporated into the fixed lens barrel 12. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a state immediately after the start of assembling the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17. A dustproof rubber 13 is attached to the fixed lens barrel 12, and the image sensor substrate 14 is adhesively fixed by a plurality of adhesive portions 12c. In this embodiment, the image sensor substrate 14 is adhesively fixed to the fixed lens barrel 12, but it may be fixed by a screw or may be urged and fixed by an elastic member. In this state, the filter holding frame 17 and the filter base 16 on which the infrared cut filter 18 and the dummy glass 19 are fixed are inserted from the opening 12b provided on the side surface of the fixed lens barrel 12 in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis indicated by the arrow in the figure. To do.

図11はフィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12にさらに挿入した状態を示す図である。このとき、フィルタベース16に防塵ゴム13の一方の第2の封止部13dが当接し、第2の封止部13dが図中矢印で示す光軸に直交する方向に弾性変形により撓んで摺接する。このため、第2の封止部13dは、図中矢印とは反対の方向に作用する力をフィルタベース16に作用させる。また、防塵ゴム13はフィルタベース16に封止部13dを介して光軸方向撮像素子側に押圧されることになるが、固定鏡筒12とは係合穴13aによって係合されている為、光軸方向撮像素子側に移動することがなく、その結果封止部材13に当接している撮像素子基板14に有害な負荷をかけることがなく、撮像素子基板14の接着ずれを防止できる。また、この効果は前述したように第2の封止部13dの厚さを薄くすることで、さらに発揮できる。 FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a state in which the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are further inserted into the fixed lens barrel 12. At this time, one second sealing portion 13d of the dustproof rubber 13 comes into contact with the filter base 16, and the second sealing portion 13d bends and slides in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis indicated by the arrow in the figure due to elastic deformation. Get in touch. Therefore, the second sealing portion 13d exerts a force acting in the direction opposite to the arrow in the drawing on the filter base 16. Further, the dustproof rubber 13 is pressed against the filter base 16 via the sealing portion 13d toward the image sensor in the optical axis direction, but since it is engaged with the fixed lens barrel 12 by the engaging hole 13a, It does not move to the image sensor side in the optical axis direction, and as a result, no harmful load is applied to the image sensor substrate 14 in contact with the sealing member 13, and the adhesion deviation of the image sensor substrate 14 can be prevented. Further, this effect can be further exerted by reducing the thickness of the second sealing portion 13d as described above.

図12はフィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12にさらに挿入した状態を示す図である。このとき、フィルタベース16に防塵ゴム13の一方の第2の封止部13dに加えて、他方の第2の封止部13dも当接し、2箇所の第2の封止部13dが図中矢印で示す光軸直交方向に撓んで摺接する。 FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state in which the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are further inserted into the fixed lens barrel 12. At this time, in addition to the one second sealing portion 13d of the dustproof rubber 13, the other second sealing portion 13d also comes into contact with the filter base 16, and the two second sealing portions 13d are shown in the drawing. It bends in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis indicated by the arrow and slides in contact.

図13はフィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17の固定鏡筒12への挿入が完了した状態を示す図である。挿入完了時には、フィルタベース16の撮像素子側に設置した複数の当接部16aが固定鏡筒12の開口部の内面と当接することによって、フィルタベース16およびフィルタ保持枠17が図中矢印で示す光軸方向被写体側に移動する。それによって、フィルタベース16と固定鏡筒12の側面の被写体側の隙間12dがほぼ無くなり、隙間12dからの異物の進入を防止すると共に、フィルタ保持枠17が固定鏡筒12とフィルタベース16との間でガタつくことなく良好に摺動できるようになる。このとき、フィルタベース16と固定鏡筒12の側面の撮像素子側に生じた隙間12eから異物が進入したとしても防塵ゴム13の第2の封止部13dによって封止される。また、固定鏡筒12と撮像素子基板14との間から異物が進入したとしても防塵ゴム13の第1の封止部13cで封止される。このように、防塵ゴム13は、撮像素子15の受光面の周囲を包囲し、これにより、異物が撮像素子15の受光面上に到達することがない。 FIG. 13 is a diagram showing a state in which the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 have been inserted into the fixed lens barrel 12. When the insertion is completed, the plurality of contact portions 16a installed on the image sensor side of the filter base 16 come into contact with the inner surface of the opening of the fixed lens barrel 12, so that the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are indicated by arrows in the drawing. Moves to the subject side in the optical axis direction. As a result, the gap 12d on the subject side of the side surface of the filter base 16 and the fixed lens barrel 12 is almost eliminated to prevent foreign matter from entering through the gap 12d, and the filter holding frame 17 is formed between the fixed lens barrel 12 and the filter base 16. You will be able to slide well without rattling between them. At this time, even if foreign matter enters through the gap 12e formed on the side surface of the filter base 16 and the fixed lens barrel 12 on the image sensor side, the dustproof rubber 13 is sealed by the second sealing portion 13d. Further, even if foreign matter enters between the fixed lens barrel 12 and the image sensor substrate 14, the dustproof rubber 13 is sealed by the first sealing portion 13c. In this way, the dustproof rubber 13 surrounds the periphery of the light receiving surface of the image sensor 15, so that foreign matter does not reach the light receiving surface of the image sensor 15.

以下、図14〜図17を参照して、本発明の第2の実施例による撮像装置について説明する。第1の実施例と同一部分には同一符号を付し、相違する点のみを説明する。 Hereinafter, the imaging apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 17. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and only the differences will be described.

図14はレンズ鏡筒ユニット105の断面図を示し、図15は防塵ゴム113の斜視図を示し、図16は防塵ゴム113の断面図を示す。図17は防塵ゴム113の断面図の部分拡大図を示す。実施例1と相違する点は防塵ゴムの形状のみである。 FIG. 14 shows a cross-sectional view of the lens barrel unit 105, FIG. 15 shows a perspective view of the dust-proof rubber 113, and FIG. 16 shows a cross-sectional view of the dust-proof rubber 113. FIG. 17 shows a partially enlarged view of a cross-sectional view of the dustproof rubber 113. The only difference from Example 1 is the shape of the dustproof rubber.

防塵ゴム113は開口部113bを有したゴム製の部材であり、4箇所の係合穴113aを有する。係合穴113aは固定鏡筒12の側面に設けた4箇所の係合部12aに係合することによって、防塵ゴム113が固定鏡筒12に固定される。防塵ゴム113は、略四角錐台形状の第1の封止部113cと、開口形状が略矩形である角型蛇腹形状をした第2の封止部113dを有する。第1の封止部113cおよび第2の封止部113dの厚みは、防塵ゴム113のうちの第1の封止部113cおよび第2の封止部113d以外の箇所よりも薄く作られている。以下、フィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12に組み込む際の防塵ゴム113の作用については実施例1と同様であり、防塵ゴム113の第1の封止部113cおよび第2の封止部113dにより、異物が撮像素子15の受光面上に到達することがない。なお、防塵ゴム113の第2の封止部113dは開口部113bを包囲する形状の弾性体であれば本実施形態に限られるものではない。 The dustproof rubber 113 is a rubber member having an opening 113b, and has four engaging holes 113a. The dustproof rubber 113 is fixed to the fixed lens barrel 12 by engaging the engaging holes 113a with the four engaging portions 12a provided on the side surface of the fixed lens barrel 12. The dustproof rubber 113 has a first sealing portion 113c having a substantially quadrangular pyramid shape and a second sealing portion 113d having a square bellows shape having a substantially rectangular opening shape. The thickness of the first sealing portion 113c and the second sealing portion 113d is made thinner than the portions of the dustproof rubber 113 other than the first sealing portion 113c and the second sealing portion 113d. .. Hereinafter, the action of the dustproof rubber 113 when incorporating the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 into the fixed lens barrel 12 is the same as in the first embodiment, and the first sealing portion 113c and the second sealing portion 113c of the dustproof rubber 113 are sealed. Due to the stop 113d, foreign matter does not reach the light receiving surface of the image sensor 15. The second sealing portion 113d of the dustproof rubber 113 is not limited to this embodiment as long as it is an elastic body having a shape surrounding the opening 113b.

また、第2の封止部113dはフィルタベース16と摺接する開口部の近傍113eの厚みt1が第2の封止部113dの厚みt2よりも厚く作られている。これにより、フィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12に組み込む際に、第2の封止部113dの開口部近傍113eがフィルタベース16と摺れることによって捲れ上がり、フィルタベース16との間に隙間ができてしまうことがない。また、本実施例ではフィルタベース16に、ゴミ封止用にダミーガラス116を固定しているが、フィルタベース16とフィルタ保持枠17を固定鏡筒12に組み込む際に、第2の封止部113dの開口部近傍113eが撓んでダミーガラス116と接触することによりダミーガラス116を汚損することがない。なお、第2の封止部113dの開口部近傍113eの4辺のうち、第2の封止部113dの厚みより厚くするのは、少なくともフィルタベース16の挿入方向に対して直交する2辺であればよい。 Further, the thickness t1 of the second sealing portion 113d near the opening in sliding contact with the filter base 16 is made thicker than the thickness t2 of the second sealing portion 113d. As a result, when the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are incorporated into the fixed lens barrel 12, the 113e near the opening of the second sealing portion 113d is rolled up by sliding with the filter base 16 and is rolled up with the filter base 16. There is no gap between them. Further, in this embodiment, the dummy glass 116 is fixed to the filter base 16 for dust sealing, but when the filter base 16 and the filter holding frame 17 are incorporated into the fixed lens barrel 12, the second sealing portion is used. The dummy glass 116 is not soiled by the 113e near the opening of the 113d bending and coming into contact with the dummy glass 116. Of the four sides of 113e near the opening of the second sealing portion 113d, at least two sides orthogonal to the insertion direction of the filter base 16 are thicker than the thickness of the second sealing portion 113d. All you need is.

以上により、フィルタを光路中に挿抜するフィルタ切り替え機構をレンズ鏡筒の側面に設けた開口部から挿入する構成において、異物が撮像素子の受光面上に付着することを防止することが可能な撮像装置を提供することができる。 As described above, in the configuration in which the filter switching mechanism for inserting and removing the filter into the optical path is inserted through the opening provided on the side surface of the lens barrel, it is possible to prevent foreign matter from adhering to the light receiving surface of the image sensor. The device can be provided.

以上、本発明の好ましい実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこれらの実施形態に限定されず、その要旨の範囲内で種々の変形及び変更が可能である。 Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and various modifications and modifications can be made within the scope of the gist thereof.
