Further, for example, the first member 42 is fixed in position with respect to the outer frame 11 and the first bracket 13 by inserting the protrusion 425 into the insertion hole 183 of the outer frame 11 and the insertion hole 1313 of the first bracket 13. To be done. Further, for example, the first member 42 is fixed in position with respect to the outer frame 11 and the first bracket 13 by inserting the protrusion 426 into the insertion hole 186 of the outer frame 11 and the insertion hole 1316 of the first bracket 13. To be done. As a result, the first member 42 is attached to the outer frame 11 and the first bracket 13.

The second member 44 has a smaller diameter than the bottomed cylindrical holding portion 441 having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the first member 42 and the holding portion 441 provided on the bottom wall 4441 side of the holding portion 441. And a gear portion 442 having a gear formed on the outer periphery thereof. For example, the second member 44 is made of a resin material or the like. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the first member 42 is arranged in the holding portion 441 of the second member 44 and attached to the second member 44. FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the inside of the connecting portion of the arm of the lighting device according to the embodiment. FIG. 12 is a plan view showing the inside of the connecting portion of the arm of the lighting device according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 12, the inside of the holding portion 441 and the inside of the gear portion 442 communicate with each other, and the first shaft rod 41 is inserted into the second member 44. Further, the screw member 443 is screwed into the insertion hole provided in the back surface of the bottom surface where the insertion holes 421 to 424 are provided in the first member 42 and the insertion hole provided in the bottom wall 4441 of the holding portion 441. Thus, the second member 44 is attached to the first member 42. As described above, by using the first member 42 formed of a metal material in the connecting portion with the storage box 10 and using the second member 44 formed of a resin material in the gear portion, a portion to which an external force due to rotation or the like is applied is applied. It is possible to reduce the weight while maintaining the strength of.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the first shaft rod 41 is inserted through the gear portion 442 of the second member 44, and the other end portion 412 projects from the second member 44. Further, for example, by disposing the other end portion 412 of the first shaft rod 41 in the holding portion (not shown) provided in the connecting portion 21, the first shaft rod 41 is arranged to move the first shaft rod 41 relative to the arm 20. The rotary shaft is inserted with its position in the rotation direction being restricted. For example, by arranging the side surfaces 4121, 4122 formed in the circumferential direction of the other end portion 412 so as to abut on a restriction surface (not shown) provided in the coupling portion 21 in the rotation direction of the first rotation shaft. The first shaft 41 is inserted with respect to the arm 20 in a state in which the position of the first rotation shaft in the rotation direction of the first rotation shaft is restricted. As a result, the first shaft rod 41 rotates together with the arm 20 about the first rotation shaft.

Further, a cylindrical ring member 43 is arranged along the outer periphery of the holding portion 441 of the second member 44. The ring member 43 has an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the holding portion 441. Further, the ring member 43 is rotated together with the second member 44 by restricting the position of the first rotation shaft with respect to the second member 44 in the rotation direction by a predetermined mechanism. For example, in the ring member 43, a protrusion piece (not shown) protruding from the outer circumference of the holding portion 441 is fitted in a notch groove (not shown) formed in the inner circumference, whereby the rotation of the first rotation shaft with respect to the second member 44. The position in the direction is restricted. Further, the projecting portion 431 provided on the plane of the ring member 42 abuts on the projecting portion (not shown) of the connecting portion 21 and substantially has a stopper function for the connecting portion 21.

As shown in FIG. 10, the first base plate 45 is arranged in the connecting portion 21, and is attached to the arm 20 by screwing or the like. A first switch 46 is provided on the first base plate 45 at a position along the outer peripheral surface of the ring member 43. For example, the first switch 46 is provided by protruding the lever 461 to the ring member 43 side. For example, the lever 461 of the first switch 46 is provided so as to project into a restriction groove (not shown) in which the peripheral wall of the ring member 43 is cut out in the circumferential direction. Here, the lever 461 of the first switch 46 is rotated by both ends in the circumferential direction of the restriction groove of the ring member 43, so that the limit of the set rotation angle is detected and the operation of the first motor 47 is stopped. Used for motor control. For example, in the first base plate 45, that is, the arm 20, the rotation angle of the first rotation shaft in the rotation direction is desired based on the circumferential range of the regulation groove by the first switch 46 and the regulation groove of the ring member 43. To the range.

The first rotation unit 40 also has a first motor 47 as a first drive source. As shown in FIG. 10, the first motor 47 is attached to the first base plate 45. For example, a stepping motor is used as the first motor 47.

A gear 472 is attached to the output rotation shaft 471 of the first motor 47. The gear 472 mounted on the output rotation shaft 471 of the first motor 47 meshes with the large diameter gear 473. A small diameter gear 475 is attached to the rotary shaft 474 to which the large diameter gear 473 is attached. That is, the large diameter gear 473 and the small diameter gear 475 rotate about the rotating shaft 474. The large diameter gear 473 and the small diameter gear 475 may be integrally molded. For example, the rotary shafts such as the output rotary shaft 471 and the rotary shaft 474 are also called shafts.

The small diameter gear 475 meshes with the large diameter gear 476. A small diameter gear 478 is attached to the rotary shaft 477 to which the large diameter gear 476 is attached. That is, the large diameter gear 476 and the small diameter gear 478 rotate about the rotating shaft 477. The large diameter gear 476 and the small diameter gear 478 may be integrally molded.

The small-diameter gear 478 is meshed with the gear portion 442 of the second member 44. Further, as described above, the second member 44 is attached to the first member 42, and the first member 42 is attached to the accommodation box 10. Therefore, the small diameter gear 478 moves along the gear portion 442 according to the output of the first motor 47. As a result, the arm 20 rotates about the first rotation shaft according to the output of the first motor 47.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, an idle gear 48-1 (48) which is a target gear is attached to the rotary shaft 477. For example, the idle gear 48-1 is mounted between the large diameter gear 476 and the first base plate 45. The idle gear 48-1 and an idle gear 48-2, which will be described later, have different arrangement positions but have the same configuration. Therefore, in the following, the idle gears 48-1 and 48-2 will be described without distinction. Is described as idle gear 48.

Further, the tip end of the rotary shaft 477 on the side where the idle gear 48-1 is mounted is inserted into an insertion hole provided in the first base plate 45. As shown in FIG. 13, the idle gear 48 has a gear portion 481 in which gears are formed and a flange portion 482 having a diameter larger than that of the gear portion 481. FIG. 13 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the biasing portion and the target gear of the lighting device according to the embodiment. For example, the idle gear 48-1 is arranged such that the flange portion 482 faces the large-diameter gear 476 and the gear portion 481 faces the first base plate 45. A damper grease is provided between the idle gear 48-1 and the rotating shaft 477. As a result, viscous resistance can be generated between the idle gear 48-1 and the rotating shaft 477.

As shown in FIG. 12, the gear portion 481 of the idle gear 48-1 meshes with the large diameter gear 473. In this way, the idle gear 48-1 meshes with the large-diameter gear 473, which is a gear on the path that transmits the driving force from the first motor 47, which is the drive source, to the accommodation box 10, which is the support portion. In other words, the idle gear 48-1 meshes with the large-diameter gear 473 in the path for transmitting the driving force from the first motor 47 to the gear portion 442 of the second member 44 attached to the housing box 10.

Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a biasing portion 49-1 (49) that biases the idle gear 48 in the axial direction of the idle gear 48 is attached to the first base plate 45. As a result, the biasing portion 49-1 is attached to the arm 20. In addition, since the biasing portion 49-1 and the biasing portion 49-2, which will be described later, have the same configuration although the arrangement positions are different, the biasing portions 49-1 and 49-2 will be described without distinction. Is referred to as a biasing section 49.

The urging portion 49 has, as a base portion, a mounting portion 491 and a standing portion 492 which is erected from one end portion of the mounting portion 491. Further, the biasing portion 49 has an extending portion 493 extending from the tip of the standing portion 492 in a direction intersecting the standing direction of the standing portion 492. The extending portion 493 has a disc-shaped insertion portion 494 having a through hole in the center, and a pair of arm portions 495 and 495 extending along the outer periphery of the insertion portion 494.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the biasing portion 49-1 is arranged along the extending portion 493 on the flange portion 482 side of the idle gear 48. For example, the extending portion 493 of the biasing portion 49-1 is arranged between the large-diameter gear 476 and the idle gear 48, and the rotary shaft 477 is inserted into the through hole of the inserting portion 494. Further, the pair of arm portions 495, 495 contact the flange portion 482 of the idle gear 48 as contact portions. Specifically, the pair of arms 495 and 495 contact the outer peripheral end of the flange 482.

The biasing portion 49 biases the idle gear 48 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the standing portion 492 extends from the mounting portion 491 by the pair of arm portions 495 and 495. The urging unit 49 urges the idle gear 48 in the axial direction of the idle gear 48. The biasing portion 49 axially biases the idle gear 48 by the pair of arms 495 and 495 so as to press the idle gear 48 against the first base plate 45.

As described above, in the configuration in which the lighting device 1 is provided with the urging portion 49-1 and the urging portion 49-1 urges the idle gear 48 in the axial direction, the space between the idle gear 48 and the first base plate 45 is reduced. A mechanical holding force can be generated by causing a sliding resistance in and making it difficult to rotate. As described above, when the stepping motor is used as the first motor 47, the position of the rotor is controlled by the magnetic field during power supply, so that the gear 472 mounted on the output rotation shaft 471 of the first motor 47 is , The engagement position with the large-diameter gear 473 is maintained, and the tilt angle of the illumination device 1 is maintained at a desired position. On the other hand, when the power supply is stopped (when the magnetic field is not generated), the mechanical position holding force is likely to be lower than when the power is supplied. Here, if the mechanical position holding force decreases, the posture of the lighting device 1 tilts toward the center of gravity of the lamp body 30, and there is concern about the stability of the operation of the lighting device 1. Such a defect due to the weight of the lighting device 1 may occur even when vibration occurs at the mounting position of the lighting device 1. In this respect, as described above, according to the configuration in which the urging device 1 is provided with the biasing portion 49-1 and the biasing portion 49-1 biases the idle gear 48 in the axial direction, the idle gear 48 and the first base are configured. Mechanical resistance is maintained by causing a sliding resistance between the plate 45 and the gear 472 mounted on the output rotation shaft 471 of the first motor 47 and the large-diameter gear 473. You can improve your strength. In addition, the above configuration has an advantage that rattling of the gear at the time of rotation around the first rotation axis can be suppressed and a sound generated by the rotation can be suppressed.

As described above, according to the configuration in which the idle gear 48-1 provided outside the transmission path of the driving force by the first motor 47 is used as the target gear and is urged by the urging portion 49-1, the transmission path of the driving force is changed. Compared with the configuration in which the provided gear is biased as the target gear, there is an advantage that the influence on the transmission of the driving force can be suppressed. However, from the viewpoint of suppressing a problem due to the weight of the operation target (illumination device 1), the configuration in which the gear provided in the transmission path of the driving force is the target gear biased by the biasing portion 49-1 is also preferably adopted. Can be done. Even by the configuration in which the gear provided in the transmission path of the driving force is biased by the biasing unit 49-1 as the target gear, the mechanical position holding force is improved, and a defect due to the weight of the operation target is suppressed. There is an advantage that.

Further, the urging portion 49 has a shape having a pair of arm portions 495 and 495, and the pair of arm portions 495 and 495 are brought into contact with the outer peripheral end portion of the flange portion 482 to attach the idle gear 48 at two positions. In the biasing configuration, the idle gear 48 can be biased with a small force as compared with, for example, a configuration in which the central portion of the flange portion 482 is biased (a configuration in which only one position is biased). Further, in the configuration of urging at two locations, even if the urging forces vary from each other at two locations, the urging can be reliably performed. In addition, the biasing portion 49-1 may be directly attached to the arm 20 without being limited to the first base plate 45.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connecting portion 21 of the arm 20 is continuous with the first arm portion 22 and the second arm portion 23. For example, the first arm portion 22 and the second arm portion 23 are continuous to both ends (both ends in the left-right direction in FIG. 1) of the connecting portion 21 of the arm 20. Further, the arm 20 holds the lamp body 30 between the first arm portion 22 and the second arm portion 23. Specifically, the arm 20 holds the lamp body 30 rotatably around the second rotation axis between the tip end portion of the first arm portion 22 and the tip end portion of the second arm portion 23. The arm 20 does not have the second arm portion 23 but only the first arm portion 22, and even if the lamp body 30 is held by the first arm portion 22 so as to be rotatable about the second rotation axis. Good. Further, in the lighting device 1, since the mechanism for rotating the lamp body 30 is provided in the first arm portion 22, the configuration inside the first arm portion 22 will be described in detail below. In some cases, the connecting portion 21 side of the arm 20 may be one end portion of the arm 20, and the tip end side of the first arm portion 22 of the arm 20 may be the other end portion.

The configuration inside the first arm portion 22 of the arm 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 18.

FIG. 15 is a plan view showing a brake unit of the lighting device according to the embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 15 is a front view showing a main part of the brake unit 50 that has passed through the brake gear 54. FIG. 16: is a side view which shows the principal part in the 2nd arm part of the illuminating device which concerns on embodiment. FIG. 17 is a perspective view showing the relationship between the biasing portion and the target gear of the lighting device according to the embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 17 is a front view showing a main part of the second rotating portion 60 that has passed through the second base plate 611. FIG. 18 is a perspective view showing a main part in the second arm part of the lighting device according to the embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 18 is a front view showing a main part of the second rotating portion 60 that has passed through the idle gear 48.

As shown in FIG. 14, the brake unit 50 and the second rotating unit 60 are arranged in the first arm unit 22. As shown in FIG. 16, the second rotating portion 60 has a second motor 61 as a second drive source. For example, a stepping motor is used as the second motor 61. The second motor 61 is attached to the second base plate 611. A gear 613 is attached to the output rotation shaft 612 of the second motor 61. As shown in FIG. 14, the second base plate 611 is arranged in the first arm portion 22 and attached to the arm 20 by screwing or the like.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the gear 613 mounted on the output rotation shaft 612 of the second motor 61 meshes with the large diameter gear 62. A small diameter gear 622 is attached to the rotating shaft 621 to which the large diameter gear 62 is attached. That is, the large diameter gear 62 and the small diameter gear 622 rotate about the rotation shaft 621. The large diameter gear 62 and the small diameter gear 622 may be integrally molded.

The small diameter gear 622 meshes with the large diameter gear 63. A small diameter gear 632 is attached to the rotary shaft 631 to which the large diameter gear 63 is attached. That is, the large diameter gear 63 and the small diameter gear 632 rotate about the rotation shaft 631. The large diameter gear 63 and the small diameter gear 632 may be integrally molded.

The small-diameter gear 632 meshes with the external teeth 640 formed on a part of the outer peripheral surface of the mounting gear portion 64. For example, the mounting gear portion 64 is formed of a resin material or the like. As shown in FIG. 18, the attachment gear portion 64 is attached to the housing portion 31 of the lamp body 30 with screw members 641 and 642, and the lamp body 30 rotates as the attachment gear portion 64 rotates. As a result, the lamp body 30 rotates about the second rotation axis according to the output of the second motor 61.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, an idle gear 48-2, which is a target gear, is attached to the rotary shaft 631 to which the large diameter gear 63 is attached. For example, the idle gear 48-2 is mounted between the large diameter gear 63 and the second base plate 611. Further, the tip end portion of the rotating shaft 631 on the side where the idle gear 48-2 is mounted is inserted into an insertion hole provided in the second base plate 611. As described above, the idle gear 48-2 has the gear portion 481 and the flange portion 482. For example, the idle gear 48-2 is arranged such that the flange portion 482 faces the large-diameter gear 63 and the gear portion 481 faces the second base plate 611. Further, damper grease is provided between the idle gear 48-2 and the rotating shaft 631. As a result, viscous resistance can be generated between the idle gear 48-2 and the rotating shaft 631.

As shown in FIG. 16, the gear portion 481 of the idle gear 48-2 meshes with the large diameter gear 63. In this way, the idle gear 48-2 meshes with the large-diameter gear 63 that is a gear on the path that transmits the driving force from the second motor 61 that is the drive source to the lamp body 30 that is the operation target. In other words, the idle gear 48-2 meshes with the large-diameter gear 63 on the path for transmitting the driving force from the second motor 61 to the mounting gear portion 64 mounted on the lamp body 30.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17, a biasing portion 49-2 that biases the idle gear 48-2 in the axial direction of the idle gear 48-2 is attached to the second base plate 611. As a result, the biasing portion 49-2 is attached to the arm 20.

As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, the biasing portion 49-2 causes the pair of arms 495 and 495 to move the idle gear 48-2 so as to press the idle gear 48-2 against the second base plate 611. Energize in the axial direction.

As described above, in the configuration in which the urging unit 49-2 is provided in the lighting device 1 and the urging unit 49-2 urges the idle gear 48-2 in the axial direction, the idle gear 48-2 and the second base plate are configured. A mechanical holding force can be generated by causing a sliding resistance between it and 611 and making it hard to rotate. As described above, when the stepping motor is used as the second motor 61, the position of the rotor is controlled by the magnetic field when the electric power is supplied, so that the gear 613 mounted on the output rotary shaft 612 of the second motor 61 is controlled. And the meshing position with the large diameter gear 62 is maintained. On the other hand, when the power supply is stopped (when the magnetic field is not generated), the mechanical position holding force is likely to be lower than when the power is supplied. In this respect, as described above, according to the configuration in which the urging device 1 is provided with the biasing section 49-2 and the biasing section 49-2 biases the idle gear 48-2 in the axial direction, the idle gear 48-2 is provided. A sliding resistance is generated between the second base plate 611 and the second base plate 611, and the meshing position between the large diameter gear 62 and the gear 613 mounted on the output rotary shaft 612 of the second motor 61 is maintained, It is possible to improve the desired position holding force. In addition, the above configuration also has an advantage that rattling of the gear at the time of rotation around the second rotation axis can be suppressed and a sound generated by the rotation can be suppressed.

As described above, according to the configuration in which the urging portion 49-2 biases the idle gear 48-2 provided outside the driving force transmission path of the second motor 61 as the target gear, Compared with the configuration in which the provided gear is biased as the target gear, there is an advantage that the influence on the transmission of the driving force can be suppressed. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing a defect due to the weight of the operation target (illumination device 1), a configuration in which the gear provided in the transmission path of the driving force is the target gear to be urged by the urging portion 49-2 is also suitably adopted. Can be done. Even by a configuration in which the gear provided in the transmission path of the driving force is biased by the biasing portion 49-2 as the target gear, the mechanical position holding force is improved, and a defect due to the weight of the operation target is suppressed. There is an advantage that.

The urging portion 49-2 is not limited to the second base plate 611 and may be directly attached to the arm 20. Further, the target gear to be biased by the biasing unit 49-2 is not limited to the idle gear 48-2 and may be another gear.

From here, the brake unit 50 will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, the brake unit 50 has a keep solenoid 51 and a locking member 52. For example, the brake unit 50 is arranged on the second base plate 611 on the back surface side on which the second motor 61 is provided. A spring member 53 and a brake gear 54 as a target gear are provided on the back surface side of the second base plate 611. One end of the spring member 53 is locked to the hook portion 6111 of the second base plate 611. The brake gear 54 is attached to the output rotation shaft 612 of the second motor 61. The brake gear 54 is arranged on the arm 20 and rotates as the lamp body 30 rotates. The target gear targeted by the brake unit 50 is not limited to the brake gear 54 and may be another gear.

The keep solenoid 51 is attached to the second base plate 611, and moves the shaft portion 511 forward and backward according to the supply of electric power. The advancing/retreating direction of the shaft portion 511 is exemplified by the lateral direction in FIG. Specifically, when power supply is stopped, keep solenoid 51 advances shaft portion 511 in the advancing/retreating direction to the position shown in FIG. On the other hand, when power is supplied, the keep solenoid 51 moves the shaft portion 511 backward and forward with respect to the position shown in FIG. 15 so that the tip of the shaft portion 511 moves leftward. In the following description, the position of the shaft portion 511 when the power supply is stopped is the first position of the shaft portion 511, and the position of the shaft portion 511 when the power is supplied is the second position of the shaft portion 511.

Further, the locking member 52 has a protrusion 520, insertion portions 521 and 523, restriction pieces 522 and 524, a hook portion 525, and a receiving portion 526. The insertion portions 521, 523 of the locking member 52 have a shape whose longitudinal direction is the advancing/retreating direction of the shaft portion 511. Further, the restriction pieces 522 and 524 of the locking member 52 are inserted into the insertion portions 521 and 523, respectively, and attached to the second base plate 611. Here, the insertion portions 521 and 523 are movable in the advancing/retracting direction of the shaft portion 511 with respect to each of the restriction pieces 522 and 524. Thereby, the locking member 52 is attached to the second base plate 611 so as to be movable in the advancing/retreating direction of the shaft portion 511.

Further, the protrusion 520 of the locking member 52 is inserted into the locking hole 512 of the shaft portion 511, and moves in the forward/backward direction of the shaft portion 511 together with the forward/backward movement of the shaft portion 511. As a result, the locking member 52 moves in the advancing/retreating direction of the shaft portion 511 together with the advancing/retreating of the shaft portion 511. Below, the position of the locking member 52 corresponding to the case where the shaft portion 511 is located at the first position of the shaft portion 511 will be referred to as the first position of the locking member 52, and the case where it is located at the second position of the shaft portion 511. The position of the corresponding locking member 52 is the second position of the locking member 52.

Further, the hook portion 525 of the locking member 52 is locked with the other end side of the spring member 53, which is opposite to the one end side with which the hook portion 6111 of the second base plate 611 is locked. Accordingly, the spring member 53 biases the locking member 52 in the forward direction of the shaft portion 511. In FIG. 15, the spring member 53 biases the locking member 52 to the right.

Further, a gear is formed on the receiving portion 526 of the locking member 52, and meshes (contacts) with the brake gear 54 at the first position of the locking member 52. Here, the number of teeth of the brake gear 54 is more than twice the number of poles of the second motor 61. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the position of the pulse and the gear from being deviated from each other before the power supply is stopped and after the power supply is restarted. For example, the brake gear 54 is formed so that the number of teeth is four times the number of poles of the second motor 61.

When a stepping motor is used as the second motor 61, the position of the rotor is controlled by the magnetic field when power is supplied, so that the gear 613 mounted on the output rotary shaft 612 of the second motor 61 and the large-diameter gear. Since the meshing position with 62 is maintained, the force for maintaining the angle about the second rotation axis at a desired angle can be increased. On the other hand, when the power supply is stopped (when the magnetic field is not generated), the mechanical position holding force is likely to be lower than when the power is supplied. Here, if the mechanical position holding force decreases, the posture of the lighting device 1 tilts toward the center of gravity of the lamp body 30, and there is concern about the stability of the operation of the lighting device 1. Such a defect due to the weight of the lighting device 1 may occur even when vibration occurs at the mounting position of the lighting device 1. In this respect, as described above, in the configuration in which the spring member 53 biases the locking member 52 to the right, the receiving portion 526 is biased toward the brake gear 54 side when the supply of electric power is stopped, and the second motor 61.

In the example shown in FIG. 24, two guide grooves 811 and 812 are provided along the outer circumference of the tubular portion 81 at 180° intervals. That is, the pair of guide grooves 811 and 812 are provided so as to project at positions facing each other around the axis of the tubular portion 81 of the aiming portion 80.

Here, the guide grooves 811 and 812 of the aiming portion 80 are formed in a shape in which the claw portions 72 and 72 of the rotation restricting portion 70 are inserted, and the guide grooves 811 and 812 of the aiming portion 80 are respectively rotated. The claw portions 72, 72 of the restriction portion 70 are inserted. Accordingly, the aiming portion 80 can be moved back and forth along the axial direction of the rotation restricting portion 70 by the guide grooves 811 and 812.

A projection 813 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 81 of the aiming portion 80. For example, three protrusions 813 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 81 of the aiming portion 80 at equal intervals along the inner periphery of the tubular portion 81. For example, the three protrusions 813 are provided at 120° intervals along the inner circumference of the tubular portion 81. In the example shown in FIG. 24, three protrusions 813 are provided on the upper end of the inner peripheral surface of the tubular portion 81.

As shown in FIG. 26, the reflecting section 90 is rotatably arranged in the aiming section 80 with respect to the aiming section 80. As shown in FIG. 25, the reflecting section 90 has a reflecting surface 91.

For example, three grooves 943 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer wall 94 of the reflecting section 90 at equal intervals along the outer periphery of the outer wall 94. For example, three grooves 943 are provided at 120° intervals along the outer circumference of the outer wall 94.

Here, in the sighting section 80, the claws 72, 72 of the rotation restricting section 70 are inserted into the guide grooves 811, 812, so that the rotation around the axis of the tubular section 81 is restricted. For example, in the case of FIG. 26, the aiming portion 80 is movable in a direction along the axis of the tubular portion 81 (vertical direction), but rotation about an axis extending in the vertical direction is restricted. On the other hand, the reflecting portion 90 is rotated about the direction along the axis of the reflecting portion 90 (vertical direction) by the output of the third motor 65.

Therefore, as the position of the groove 943 of the reflection part 90 changes due to the rotation of the reflection part 90, the position of the projection part 813 of the aiming part 80 in the rotation direction is restricted, and the position of the projection part 813 in the axial direction is restricted. The position changes. Here, the aiming section 80 converts rotation about the axis of the reflecting section 90 into movement in the axial direction. As a result, the aiming section 80 moves back and forth in the axial direction according to the rotation of the reflecting section 90 about the axis. By moving the sighting unit 80 back and forth in the axial direction, the distance between the substrate 100 and the optical member provided on the flange portion 82 of the sighting unit 80 is changed, and the zoom function is realized.

In addition, in this embodiment, the grooves 943 of the reflecting portion 90 are provided only at three intervals at 120° intervals and only in the range in which the aiming portion 80 moves forward and backward. Further, three projections 813 of the aiming portion 80 that mesh with the grooves 943 of the reflecting portion 90 are also provided at 120° intervals. In this way, the groove 943 of the reflecting portion 90 has three grooves and the projections 813 of the aiming portion 80 have three, so that the aiming portion 80 can be advanced and retracted in a well-balanced manner at three fulcrums. Further, the length of the projection 813 of the aiming portion 80 may be formed in a projection shape so as to engage with the groove 943 of the reflection portion 90.

Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the outer wall 94, a pair of protruding portions 941 and 942 protruding inward are formed. Further, the third switch 73 attached to the base 71 of the rotation restricting portion 70 is arranged at a position where a lever (not shown) projects along the inner peripheral surface of the outer wall 94. Specifically, the third switch 73 is arranged at a position where the protruding portions 941 and 942 and the outer wall 94 overlap each other in the circumferential direction. As a result, the lever of the third switch 73 is rotated by either one of the protrusions 941 and 942 of the outer wall 94 to detect the limit of the set rotation angle and stop the operation of the third motor 65. , Used for motor control. In the present embodiment, the rotation angle of the reflecting portion 90 is set to be in the range of approximately 90° by the third switch 73 and the protruding portions 941 and 942 of the outer wall 94.
