A front end lens support frame having a cam projection, a rotation driving means for rotationally driving the cam ring, and a lens barrier mechanism that is supported by the front end portion of the front end lens support frame and positioned immediately before the front end lens.
The lens barrier mechanism has a barrier support member supported by the front end portion of the front end lens support frame and having a barrier opening, and a relative position around the rotation center portion between the closed position where the barrier opening is closed and the open position where the barrier opening is opened. A plurality of barrier blades supported by the barrier support member as being rotatable, a barrier urging spring that urges each barrier blade to rotate toward the closed position, and a rotation allowable position that allows the barrier blade to rotate to the closed position. The barrier drive member supported by the barrier support member so as to be rotatable to the forced open position that rotates the barrier blade against the biasing force of the barrier bias spring, and the barrier drive member is rotated toward the forced open position. A drive member biasing spring that biases and has a larger biasing force than the barrier biasing spring. Furthermore, a locking projection is provided on the surface of each barrier blade facing the barrier support member so as to protrude from the rotation center portion on the barrier support member side. One end of the barrier biasing spring is locked to the barrier support member, and the other end of the barrier biasing spring is locked to the locking projection.

レンズ鏡筒が沈胴状態にあるときは、カム環の一部がバリア駆動部材と係合することにより、バリア駆動部材が回転許容位置に保持されるので、バリア羽根はバリア付勢バネの付勢力によって閉位置に位置する。
レンズ鏡筒が沈胴状態にあるときに回転駆動手段の駆動力によってカム環を一方向に回転させると、レンズ鏡筒は撮影状態(伸張状態)に移行し、カム環のカム溝とカム突起の係合関係に従って前端レンズ支持枠が前方に移動する。さらにカム環の上記一部がバリア駆動部材との係合を解除し、駆動部材付勢バネの付勢力によってバリア駆動部材が強制開放位置に回転するので、バリアが開位置まで回転してバリア開口を開放する。
一方、レンズ鏡筒が撮影状態にあるときに回転駆動手段の駆動力によってカム環を反対方向に逆転させると、レンズ鏡筒は沈胴状態に移動復帰する。するとカム溝とカム突起の係合関係に従って前端レンズ支持枠が後方(初期位置)に移動し、さらにカム環の上記一部がバリア駆動部材と再び係合してバリア駆動部材を回転許容位置に戻すので、バリア羽根はバリア付勢バネの付勢力によって閉位置に復帰する。
When the lens barrel is in the retracted state, a part of the cam ring engages with the barrier driving member, so that the barrier driving member is held at the rotation allowable position, so that the barrier blade is biased by the barrier biasing spring. Is in the closed position.
If the cam ring is rotated in one direction by the driving force of the rotation driving means when the lens barrel is in the retracted state, the lens barrel shifts to the shooting state (expanded state), and the cam groove of the cam ring and the cam projection The front lens support frame moves forward according to the engagement relationship. Further, the part of the cam ring disengages from the barrier drive member, and the barrier drive member is rotated to the forced open position by the biasing force of the drive member biasing spring. Is released.
On the other hand, when the lens barrel is in the photographing state, if the cam ring is reversed in the opposite direction by the driving force of the rotation driving means, the lens barrel returns to the retracted state. Then, according to the engagement relationship between the cam groove and the cam protrusion, the front end lens support frame moves rearward (initial position), and the part of the cam ring engages with the barrier drive member again to bring the barrier drive member into the rotation allowable position. Thus, the barrier blades are returned to the closed position by the biasing force of the barrier biasing spring.

特許文献1のレンズバリア機構では、各バリア羽根のバリア支持部材との対向面に、バリア付勢バネを係止するための係止用突起を設けているので、バリア付勢バネをバリア羽根に対して確実に係止可能である。そのため、バリア付勢バネの付勢力を各バリア羽根に確実に伝達できるので、レンズ鏡筒が沈胴状態に移行したときに各バリア羽根を確実に閉位置まで回転させることが可能である。
しかし各バリア羽根に係止用突起を突設しているので、係止用突起の突出量分だけレンズバリア機構が光軸方向に厚くなる。さらに、レンズ鏡筒が沈胴状態にあるときはレンズ鏡筒全体がカメラボディに収納されるので、レンズバリア機構が厚くなるとカメラボディも光軸方向に厚くなってしまう。
In the lens barrier mechanism of Patent Document 1, since a locking projection for locking the barrier biasing spring is provided on the surface of each barrier blade facing the barrier support member, the barrier biasing spring is used as the barrier blade. It can be securely locked against. Therefore, since the urging force of the barrier urging spring can be reliably transmitted to each barrier blade, it is possible to reliably rotate each barrier wing to the closed position when the lens barrel shifts to the retracted state.
However, since the locking protrusions are provided on each barrier blade, the lens barrier mechanism becomes thicker in the optical axis direction by the protrusion amount of the locking protrusions.

一対のバリア付勢バネ45は、コイル部46の内部にバリア付勢バネ係止用突起29を抜け止めした状態で嵌合し、かつコイル部46を自由状態から弾性変形させた状態で第1係止部47をバリア支持部材26に係止することにより(図11参照)、バリア支持部材26に取り付けてある。各バリア付勢バネ45の第2係止部48はバリア羽根35のバネ係止孔40に挿入してある。コイル部46から発生する付勢力によって第2係止部48の一部は第1被係止部41の側面に係合しており、また第2係止部48の別の一部は第2被係止部42の後面に係合している。
このように各バリア付勢バネ45がバリア支持部材26及び対応するバリア羽根35と係合しているので、各バリア付勢バネ45から対応するバリア羽根35に対して付勢力が及んでいる。より詳細には、第2係止部48から第1被係止部41に対してバリア羽根35を閉位置に移動させる方向の付勢力が及んでおり、さらに第2係止部48から第2被係止部42に対してバリア羽根35を前方に移動させる方向の付勢力が及んでいる。従って、各バリア羽根35にバリア付勢バネ45以外の外力を及ぼさないとき、各バリア付勢バネ45は第2係止部48からの付勢力によって閉位置に位置する。さらに第2係止部48が第2被係止部42に及ぼす付勢力によって、各バリア羽根35の開閉部36及びアーム部37の前面とバリア支持部材26の後面は互いに面接触した状態に保持されるので、一対のバリア羽根35(開閉部36及びアーム部37)は互いに同一平面上に位置する。そのため、各バリア羽根35にバリア付勢バネ45以外の外力を及ぼさない状態で各バリア羽根35を閉位置に位置させると、一対のバリア羽根35の開閉部36の対向縁部どうしが確実に接触する。
The pair of barrier urging springs 45 are metal torsion coil springs (torsion springs), a cylindrical coil portion 46, and a first locking portion 47 and a second locking portion 48 that protrude from both ends of the coil portion 46, respectively. And.
The pair of barrier urging springs 45 are fitted inside the coil portion 46 in a state where the barrier urging spring locking projections 29 are prevented from coming off, and the coil portion 46 is elastically deformed from the free state. The engaging portion 47 is attached to the barrier support member 26 by engaging the barrier support member 26 (see FIG. 11). The second locking portion 48 of each barrier biasing spring 45 is inserted into the spring locking hole 40 of the barrier blade 35. Part of the second locking portion 48 is engaged with the side surface of the first locked portion 41 by the urging force generated from the coil portion 46, and another portion of the second locking portion 48 is the second. The rear surface of the locked portion 42 is engaged.
Thus, since each barrier urging spring 45 is engaged with the barrier support member 26 and the corresponding barrier blade 35, the urging force is exerted on the corresponding barrier blade 35 from each barrier urging spring 45. More specifically, the urging force in the direction of moving the barrier blade 35 to the closed position is exerted from the second locking portion 48 to the first locked portion 41, and further, The biasing force in the direction of moving the barrier blade 35 forward is exerted on the locked portion 42. Therefore, when no external force other than the barrier urging spring 45 is applied to each barrier blade 35, each barrier urging spring 45 is positioned at the closed position by the urging force from the second locking portion 48. Further, due to the urging force that the second locking portion 48 exerts on the second locked portion 42, the opening / closing portion 36 and the front surface of the arm portion 37 of each barrier blade 35 and the rear surface of the barrier support member 26 are held in surface contact with each other. Therefore, the pair of barrier blades 35 (opening / closing portion 36 and arm portion 37) are located on the same plane. Therefore, when each barrier blade 35 is positioned in the closed position without applying any external force other than the barrier biasing spring 45 to each barrier blade 35, the opposing edges of the opening / closing portion 36 of the pair of barrier blades 35 are reliably in contact with each other. To do.

金属板からなる(樹脂製とすることも可能)バリア駆動部材50の中央部には撮影光透過孔51が穿設してある。バリア駆動部材50の周縁部には、周方向に180°離間した一対のバネ係止突起52と、一対のバネ係止突起52とは異なる周方向位置に位置するカム環連係突起53と、が突設してある。バネ係止突起52は前向きに突出しており、カム環連係突起53は後ろ向きに突出している。さらにバリア駆動部材50には、周方向に180°離間した一対のバリア連係孔54が穿設してある。
バリア駆動部材50はバリア支持部材26の後面に対して光軸回りに相対回転可能に支持してある。バリア支持部材26とバリア駆動部材50の間には各バリア羽根35を位置させるための空間が形成してあり、一対のバリア連係孔54に対してバリア羽根35の対応する連係突起43がそれぞれ遊嵌している。バリア駆動部材50はバリア支持部材26に対して、図4、図5に示す回転許容位置と図7、図8に示す強制開放位置との間を相対回転可能である。バリア駆動部材50が回転許容位置に位置するときはバリア連係孔54の内面が連係突起43から離間するので、バリア駆動部材50からバリア羽根35に力は及ばない。そのため一対のバリア羽根35はバリア付勢バネ45の付勢力によって閉位置に位置する。一方、バリア駆動部材50が強制開放位置に位置するときはバリア連係孔54の内面が連係突起43に係合し、バリア羽根35がバリア付勢バネ45の付勢力に抗して開位置に位置する。
A photographing light transmitting hole 51 is formed in the center of the barrier driving member 50 made of a metal plate (can be made of resin). On the peripheral edge of the barrier drive member 50, there are a pair of spring locking protrusions 52 that are 180 ° apart from each other in the circumferential direction, and a cam ring linking protrusion 53 that is located at a circumferential position different from the pair of spring locking protrusions 52. Projected. The spring locking protrusion 52 protrudes forward, and the cam ring linkage protrusion 53 protrudes backward. Further, the barrier driving member 50 is provided with a pair of barrier linking holes 54 spaced apart by 180 ° in the circumferential direction.
The barrier drive member 50 is supported so as to be rotatable relative to the rear surface of the barrier support member 26 around the optical axis. Spaces for positioning the respective barrier blades 35 are formed between the barrier support member 26 and the barrier drive member 50, and the corresponding projections 43 of the barrier blades 35 are respectively idle with respect to the pair of barrier link holes 54. It is fitted. The barrier drive member 50 can rotate relative to the barrier support member 26 between a rotation allowable position shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 and a forced release position shown in FIGS. When the barrier driving member 50 is located at the rotation allowable position, the inner surface of the barrier linking hole 54 is separated from the linking projection 43, so that no force is applied from the barrier driving member 50 to the barrier blade 35. Therefore, the pair of barrier blades 35 are positioned at the closed position by the biasing force of the barrier biasing spring 45. On the other hand, when the barrier driving member 50 is located at the forced opening position, the inner surface of the barrier linking hole 54 is engaged with the linking projection 43, and the barrier blade 35 is located at the open position against the urging force of the barrier urging spring 45. To do.

一対の駆動部材付勢バネ55は金属製の引張バネであり、円筒状のコイル部56と、コイル部56の両端からそれぞれ突出する第1係止部57及び第2係止部58と、を具備している。
一対の駆動部材付勢バネ55は、第1係止部57をバリア支持部材26の対応する駆動部材付勢バネ係止用突起30に対して抜け止めした状態で係止し、さらに第2係止部58をバリア駆動部材50の対応するバネ係止突起52に対して抜け止めした状態で係止することにより、バリア支持部材26とバリア駆動部材50の間に取り付けてある。一対の駆動部材付勢バネ55をバリア支持部材26とバリア駆動部材50に取り付けると、コイル部56は駆動部材付勢バネ露出孔32の直後において自由状態から伸びた状態になるので、各駆動部材付勢バネ55はバリア駆動部材50を一方向に回転させる方向の付勢力を発生する。各駆動部材付勢バネ55が発生する付勢力はバリア駆動部材50を強制開放位置に回転させる方向であり、かつその付勢力は各バリア付勢バネ45が発生する付勢力より大きい。そのためバリア駆動部材50に対して駆動部材付勢バネ55以外の外力を及ぼさないとき(かつバリア羽根35に対してバリア付勢バネ45以外の付勢力を及ぼさないとき)、バリア駆動部材50は強制開放位置に位置し一対のバリア羽根35は開位置に位置する。
The pair of drive member urging springs 55 are metallic tension springs, and include a cylindrical coil portion 56 and a first locking portion 57 and a second locking portion 58 that protrude from both ends of the coil portion 56, respectively. It has.
The pair of drive member urging springs 55 are engaged with the first engagement portions 57 in a state in which the first engagement portions 57 are retained from the corresponding drive member urging spring engagement protrusions 30 of the barrier support member 26, and further, the second engagement members 57 are engaged. The stopper 58 is attached between the barrier support member 26 and the barrier drive member 50 by being locked with the corresponding spring lock protrusion 52 of the barrier drive member 50 in a state of being prevented from coming off. When the pair of drive member urging springs 55 are attached to the barrier support member 26 and the barrier drive member 50, the coil portion 56 extends from the free state immediately after the drive member urging spring exposure hole 32. The biasing spring 55 generates a biasing force in a direction that rotates the barrier driving member 50 in one direction. The urging force generated by each driving member urging spring 55 is a direction in which the barrier driving member 50 is rotated to the forced opening position, and the urging force is larger than the urging force generated by each barrier urging spring 45. Therefore, when no external force other than the drive member biasing spring 55 is applied to the barrier drive member 50 (and no biasing force other than the barrier biasing spring 45 is applied to the barrier blade 35), the barrier drive member 50 is forced. The pair of barrier blades 35 located at the open position are located at the open position.

バリア支持部材26の前面には一対の突起受容部31を塞ぐ態様で、円弧状をなす一対の両面テープ60の後面が貼り付けてある。さらに各両面テープ60の前面には円環形状をなす化粧部材61の後面の(周方向に180°離間した)2カ所が貼り付けてある。そのためバリア支持部材26の突起受容部31(及びバリア支持部材26の駆動部材付勢バネ露出孔32)は化粧部材61によって覆われている。   A rear surface of a pair of double-sided tapes 60 having an arc shape is attached to the front surface of the barrier support member 26 so as to close the pair of protrusion receiving portions 31. Furthermore, two locations (separated by 180 ° in the circumferential direction) on the rear surface of the annular decorative member 61 are attached to the front surface of each double-sided tape 60. Therefore, the protrusion receiving portion 31 of the barrier support member 26 (and the drive member biasing spring exposure hole 32 of the barrier support member 26) is covered with the decorative member 61.

続いてレンズ鏡筒10の動作について説明する。
レンズ鏡筒10が沈胴位置(図1の位置)に位置するとき、カメラボディCBの内部に位置するカム環15の駆動部材制御突起15aがバリア駆動部材50のカム環連係突起53と係合して、バリア駆動部材50を駆動部材付勢バネ55の付勢力に抗して回転許容位置に保持する。そのため一対のバリア羽根35がバリア付勢バネ45の付勢力によって閉位置に位置し、一対のバリア羽根35の開閉部36によってバリア支持部材26のバリア開口27が塞がれる。
カメラボディCBに設けたメインスイッチ(図示略)をON操作してモータ14を正転させると、モータ14の回転駆動力によってレンズ鏡筒10全体が撮影位置まで伸張し、1群枠20及びカバー環21がカメラボディCBの前方に移動する。このときカム環15も初期位置から前方に移動するものの、カム環15の前方への移動量より1群枠20及びカバー環21の前方への移動量の方が大きいので、バリア駆動部材50のカム環連係突起53が駆動部材制御突起15aから前方に離間する。その結果、バリア駆動部材50が駆動部材付勢バネ55の付勢力によって強制開放位置まで回転するので、各バリア羽根35が自身の係止用突起39を対応する突起受容部31内で微小角度だけ回転させながら、バリア付勢バネ45の付勢力に抗して開位置に移動する。
一方、レンズ鏡筒10が撮影位置に位置するときに上記メインスイッチをOFF操作するとモータ14が逆転する。するとモータ14の回転駆動力によってレンズ鏡筒10全体が沈胴位置に戻り、カム環15と1群枠20及びカバー環21がカメラボディCB内に移動復帰する。このとき、レンズバリア機構25が1群枠20及びカバー環21と一緒に初期位置に向けて移動復帰し(係止用突起39が突起受容部31内で微小角度だけ回転し)、バリア駆動部材50のカム環連係突起53に対してカム環15の駆動部材制御突起15aが再び係合する。その結果、バリア駆動部材50が駆動部材付勢バネ55の付勢力に抗して回転許容位置に保持されるので、一対のバリア羽根35がバリア付勢バネ45の付勢力によって閉位置に移動復帰する。
Next, the operation of the lens barrel 10 will be described.
When the lens barrel 10 is located at the retracted position (the position shown in FIG. 1), the drive member control protrusion 15a of the cam ring 15 located inside the camera body CB engages with the cam ring linkage protrusion 53 of the barrier drive member 50. Thus, the barrier driving member 50 is held at the rotation allowable position against the biasing force of the driving member biasing spring 55. Therefore, the pair of barrier blades 35 are positioned at the closed position by the biasing force of the barrier biasing spring 45, and the barrier opening 27 of the barrier support member 26 is closed by the opening / closing portion 36 of the pair of barrier blades 35.
When the main switch (not shown) provided on the camera body CB is turned on to rotate the motor 14 in the forward direction, the entire lens barrel 10 is extended to the photographing position by the rotational driving force of the motor 14, and the first group frame 20 and the cover The ring 21 moves in front of the camera body CB. At this time, although the cam ring 15 also moves forward from the initial position, the movement amount of the first group frame 20 and the cover ring 21 forward is larger than the movement amount of the cam ring 15 forward. The cam ring linking projection 53 is separated forward from the drive member control projection 15a. As a result, the barrier driving member 50 is rotated to the forcible opening position by the biasing force of the driving member biasing spring 55, so that each barrier blade 35 has its own locking projection 39 in the corresponding projection receiving portion 31 by a minute angle. While rotating, it moves to the open position against the biasing force of the barrier biasing spring 45.
On the other hand, when the main switch is turned OFF when the lens barrel 10 is located at the photographing position, the motor 14 is reversed. Then, the entire lens barrel 10 is returned to the retracted position by the rotational driving force of the motor 14, and the cam ring 15, the first group frame 20, and the cover ring 21 are moved back into the camera body CB. At this time, the lens barrier mechanism 25 moves back to the initial position together with the first group frame 20 and the cover ring 21 (the locking projection 39 rotates by a minute angle in the projection receiving portion 31), and the barrier driving member The drive member control protrusion 15a of the cam ring 15 is engaged with the 50 cam ring linkage protrusions 53 again. As a result, the barrier driving member 50 is held at the rotation allowable position against the biasing force of the driving member biasing spring 55, so that the pair of barrier blades 35 are moved back to the closed position by the biasing force of the barrier biasing spring 45. To do.

以上説明した本実施形態のレンズ鏡筒10は、各バリア羽根35の前面に前方に向かって突出する係止用突起39を突設し、かつ係止用突起39(第1被係止部41、第2被係止部42)に各バリア付勢バネ45の第2係止部48を係止しているので、各バリア付勢バネ45を各バリア羽根35に対して確実に係止可能である。そのため各バリア付勢バネ45の付勢力をバリア羽根35に確実に伝達できる。従って、レンズ鏡筒10が沈胴位置に位置するときに、各バリア羽根35を確実に閉位置まで回転させることが可能である。
その上、バリア羽根35の係止用突起39が遊嵌する突起受容部31をバリア支持部材26に形成しているので、バリア羽根35に係止用突起39を設けたことに起因してレンズバリア機構25の光軸方向の厚みが増大することがない。そのためバリア羽根35に係止用突起39を突設した構造でありながらレンズバリア機構25を光軸方向に薄型化でき、さらにカメラボディCBを光軸方向に薄くすることが可能である。
さらにバリア支持部材26の前面に両面テープ60及び化粧部材61を取り付ける前の段階では、バリア支持部材26の突起受容部31を通してバリア付勢バネ45の第2係止部48がバネ係止孔40(第1被係止部41、第2被係止部42)に係止されているか否かを目視により確認できるので、不良品の発生を抑制できる。
In the lens barrel 10 of the present embodiment described above, the locking protrusion 39 protruding forward is projected on the front surface of each barrier blade 35, and the locking protrusion 39 (first locked portion 41) is provided. Since the second locking portion 48 of each barrier biasing spring 45 is locked to the second locked portion 42), each barrier biasing spring 45 can be securely locked to each barrier blade 35. It is. Therefore, the urging force of each barrier urging spring 45 can be reliably transmitted to the barrier blade 35. Therefore, when the lens barrel 10 is located at the retracted position, each barrier blade 35 can be reliably rotated to the closed position.
In addition, since the protrusion supporting portion 31 in which the locking protrusion 39 of the barrier blade 35 is loosely fitted is formed on the barrier support member 26, the lens is caused by providing the locking protrusion 39 on the barrier blade 35. The thickness of the barrier mechanism 25 in the optical axis direction does not increase. Therefore, the lens barrier mechanism 25 can be thinned in the optical axis direction and the camera body CB can be thinned in the optical axis direction, although the locking projection 39 is provided on the barrier blade 35.
Further, before the double-sided tape 60 and the decorative member 61 are attached to the front surface of the barrier support member 26, the second locking portion 48 of the barrier urging spring 45 passes through the protrusion receiving portion 31 of the barrier support member 26 and the spring locking hole 40. Since it can be visually confirmed whether it is locked to (first locked portion 41, second locked portion 42), it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defective products.

以上、上記実施形態を利用して本発明を説明したが、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。
例えば、バリア支持部材26の後面に形成した有底の凹部により突起受容部31を構成してもよい。
またバリア開口27を開閉するバリア羽根を、一枚、又は、3枚以上のバリア羽根により構成してもよい。
さらに駆動部材付勢バネを上記とは異なる態様のバネ手段に変更してもよい。
さらに光軸方向に伸縮しないレンズ鏡筒に本発明を適用してもよい。
As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using the said embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment.
For example, the protrusion receiving portion 31 may be configured by a bottomed concave portion formed on the rear surface of the barrier support member 26.
In addition, the barrier blade that opens and closes the barrier opening 27 may be constituted by one or three or more barrier blades.
Further, the drive member biasing spring may be changed to a spring means having a different form from the above.
Furthermore, the present invention may be applied to a lens barrel that does not expand and contract in the optical axis direction.
