[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lens used in a camera capable of electrically driving an anti-vibration optical system which constitutes a taking lens in a direction different from an optical axis in order to prevent the shake of a taken image. Regarding the lens barrel.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a so-called flexible means has been used as a means for electrically connecting a drive source of a lens shutter drive mechanism or a focusing mechanism provided inside a lens barrel to an electric component (control IC) provided outside the barrel. Printed circuit board (F
A flexible substrate called PC) is used. This type of FPC has one end connected to a substrate inside the lens barrel in which each drive source is mounted, and is drawn around the space inside the lens barrel in a state of being bent a plurality of times, and then the tip is provided outside the lens barrel. To the mounted board (on which the control IC is mounted). As a result, each drive source inside the lens barrel is electrically connected to the electric components outside the lens barrel via the wiring pattern on the FPC. FP like this
If C is used, even when the electric component moves in the optical axis direction as the lens group moves due to zooming, for example,
It can be dealt with by appropriately deforming the FPC, and does not give an unreasonable load to the lens group.

[0003]

By the way, a camera shake amount caused by camera shake or the like is detected by a camera shake sensor, and the image stabilization optical system of the photographing lens is electrically driven in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis based on the detected output. However, there is known a camera which prevents the shake of a captured image. In this type of camera, in addition to the lens shutter drive mechanism and the focusing mechanism, an anti-vibration drive mechanism needs to be provided in the lens barrel, so that the number of drive mechanisms in the lens barrel increases and How to connect the drive source to the electric parts outside the lens barrel becomes a problem.

It is assumed that a plurality of drive sources in the lens barrel are connected to one FPC.
To connect to electrical parts outside the lens barrel,
Since the number of wiring patterns on C is extremely large, it is necessary to widen the width of the FPC. When the width of the FPC is widened, when the FPC is stretched in a narrow space in the lens barrel, for example, in parallel with the optical axis, the FPC must be bent around the optical axis in accordance with the curvature of the barrel forming the lens barrel. In this case, it becomes difficult to bend the FPC in the front-rear direction of the optical axis, the assembling work efficiency decreases, and an undesired load is applied to the FPC when the lens group moves, which may cause disconnection. In order to prevent this, the lens barrel is inevitably increased in size. Further, for example, in the case where the distance between the drive mechanisms changes due to zooming of the taking lens, if the FPC is unified,
There is also a problem that the shape of the FPC becomes complicated due to the necessity of coping with the change in the above-mentioned interval, resulting in an increase in cost. On the other hand, the drive sources for the lens shutter drive mechanism, the focusing mechanism, and the image stabilization drive mechanism described above are respectively
If an attempt is made to connect to the electric component outside the lens barrel by the FPC of the book, the man-hours at the time of assembling will increase, and in this case as well, the efficiency of the assembling work will be reduced from the meaning other than the above.

An object of the present invention is to provide a lens barrel which improves the assembling work efficiency without increasing the size of the lens barrel and prevents an undesired load from being applied to the flexible printed circuit board.

A cam barrel 3 is rotatably fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the fixed lens barrel 2 and is retained by a ring 4. The rotation of the zoom motor 77 (FIG. 5) is transmitted to the gear portion 3d formed on the outer peripheral surface of the cam barrel 3 via the gear GR, whereby the cam barrel 3 rotates. Further, cam grooves 3a, 3b, 3c are formed on the peripheral surface of the cam barrel 3.

In FIG. 5, the control IC 71 is also connected with a known photometry circuit 81, a distance measurement circuit 82, and a camera shake sensor 83 for detecting the camera shake amount due to camera shake. The shutter driver 73 is connected to the shutter driving electric component 42a via the mounting board 62 and the shutter FPC 63 described above, and the camera shake correction motor driver 74 and the camera shake correction motor drive amount detection circuit 75 are provided with the image stabilization function.

Further, the distance between the anti-vibration driving mechanism 101 and the shutter driving mechanism 42 and the focusing mechanisms 52 and 53 changes due to the zooming of the photographing lens.
Since only the focusing motor 53 is connected to C65, at least the shape of the FPC 65 can be simplified. On the other hand, the image stabilization drive mechanism 101 and the shutter drive mechanism 4

According to the present invention, the drive sources of the image stabilizing drive mechanism and the shutter drive mechanism are connected to the electric control means provided outside the lens barrel by the first flexible printed circuit board,
Since the drive source of the focusing mechanism is connected to the electric control means by the second flexible printed circuit board, each drive source is connected to the electric control means by one flexible printed circuit board. The width of the flexible printed circuit board can be narrowed. Therefore, there is no need to bend the flexible printed circuit board around the optical axis according to the curvature of the lens barrel body, and thus the assembly work efficiency can be improved without increasing the size of the flexible printed circuit board. Further, there is no undesired load on the flexible printed circuit board during zooming, and there is no risk of disconnection. Furthermore, since the two flexible printed boards are used for the three drive sources, the efficiency of assembly work can be improved as compared with the case where three flexible printed boards are used. Further, the distance between the anti-vibration driving mechanism and the shutter driving mechanism and the focusing mechanism changes due to the zooming of the photographing lens. However, since only the driving source of the focusing mechanism is connected to the second flexible printed circuit board, at least the first The shape of the flexible printed circuit board 2 can be simplified and the cost can be reduced. On the other hand, the first flexible print for connecting the drive sources of both mechanisms does not change even if the taking lens is zoomed by the integration of the image stabilization drive mechanism and the shutter drive mechanism. The shape of the substrate can be simplified, and further cost reduction can be achieved.
