撮像装置100は、所望の撮像範囲に含まれる被写体を撮像する撮像用のカメラである。ジンバル50は、撮像装置100を回転可能に支持する。ジンバル50は、支持機構の一例である。例えば、ジンバル50は、撮像装置100を、アクチュエータを用いてピッチ軸で回転可能に支持する。ジンバル50は、撮像装置100を、アクチュエータを用いて更にロール軸及びヨー軸のそれぞれを中心に回転可能に支持する。ジンバル50は、ヨー軸、ピッチ軸、及びロール軸の少なくとも1つを中心に撮像装置100を回転させることで、撮像装置100の姿勢を変更してよい。 The image pickup apparatus 100 is a camera for taking an image of a subject included in a desired imaging range. The gimbal 50 rotatably supports the image pickup device 100. The gimbal 50 is an example of a support mechanism. For example, the gimbal 50 rotatably supports the image pickup device 100 on a pitch axis using an actuator. The gimbal 50 further rotatably supports the image pickup device 100 around each of the roll axis and the yaw axis by using an actuator. The gimbal 50 may change the posture of the image pickup device 100 by rotating the image pickup device 100 around at least one of the yaw axis, the pitch axis, and the roll axis.

複数の撮像装置60は、UAV1000の飛行を制御するためにUAV1000の周囲を撮像するセンシング用のカメラである。2つの撮像装置60が、UAV1000の機首である正面に設けられてよい。更に他の2つの撮像装置60が、UAV1000の底面に設けられてよい。正面側の2つの撮像装置60はペアとなり、いわゆるステレオカメラとして機能してよい。底面側の2つの撮像装置60もペアとなり、ステレオカメラとして機能してよい。複数の撮像装置60により撮像された画像に基づいて、UAV1000の周囲の3次元空間データが生成されてよい。UAV1000が備える撮像装置60の数は4つには限定されない。UAV1000は、少なくとも1つの撮像装置60を備えていればよい。UAV1000は、UAV1000の機首、機尾、側面、底面、及び天井面のそれぞれに少なくとも1つの撮像装置60を備えてもよい。撮像装置60で設定できる画角は、撮像装置100で設定できる画角より広くてよい。撮像装置60は、単焦点レンズまたは魚眼レンズを有してもよい。 The plurality of image pickup devices 60 are sensing cameras that image the surroundings of the UAV 1000 in order to control the flight of the UAV 1000.

The image pickup apparatus 60 may have a single focus lens or a fisheye lens.

遠隔操作装置300は、UAV1000と通信して、UAV1000を遠隔操作する。遠隔操作装置300は、UAV1000と無線で通信してよい。遠隔操作装置300は、UAV1000に上昇、下降、加速、減速、前進、後進、回転などのUAV1000の移動に関する各種命令を示す指示情報を送信する。指示情報は、例えば、UAV1000の高度を上昇させる指示情報を含む。指示情報は、UAV1000が位置すべき高度を示してよい。UAV1000は、遠隔操作装置300から受信した指示情報により示される高度に位置するように移動する。指示情報は、UAV1000を上昇させる上昇命令を含んでよい。UAV1000は、上昇命令を受け付けている間、上昇する。UAV1000は、上昇命令を受け付けても、UAV1000の高度が上限高度に達している場合には、上昇を制限してよい。 The remote control device 300 communicates with the UAV 1000 to remotely control the UAV 1000. The remote control device 300 may wirelessly communicate with the UAV 1000. The remote control device 300 transmits to the UAV 1000 instruction information indicating various commands related to the movement of the UAV 1000 such as ascending, descending, accelerating, decelerating, advancing, reversing, and rotating. The instruction information includes, for example, instruction information for raising the altitude of the UAV 1000. The instruction information may indicate the altitude at which the UAV 1000 should be located. The UAV 1000 moves so as to be located at an altitude indicated by the instruction information received from the remote control device 300. The instruction information may include an ascending instruction to ascend the UAV 1000. The UAV1000 rises while accepting the rise order. Even if the UAV1000 accepts an ascending order, the ascending may be restricted if the altitude of the UAV1000 has reached the upper limit altitude.

図2は、撮像装置100の外観斜視図である。図3は、図1のA-A断面図である。図4は、撮像装置100の内部構造の斜視図である。 FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the image pickup apparatus 100. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the internal structure of the image pickup apparatus 100.

撮像装置100は、第1レンズ群101と、第2レンズ群102と、反射機構110と、イメージセンサ103とを備える。反射機構110は、第1レンズ群101と第2レンズ群102との間に配置される。反射機構110は、第1レンズ群101及び第2レンズ群102を含む光学系の光路を折り曲げる。第1レンズ群101から入射された光は、反射機構110で反射して、第2レンズ群102に入射し、イメージセンサ103で受光される。反射機構110は、第1レンズ群101から出射された光の方向を異なる方向に変えて、第2レンズ群102に第1レンズ群101からの光を入射させる。 The image pickup apparatus 100 includes a first lens group 101, a second lens group 102, a reflection mechanism 110, and an image sensor 103. The reflection mechanism 110 is arranged between the first lens group 101 and the second lens group 102. The reflection mechanism 110 bends the optical path of the optical system including the first lens group 101 and the second lens group 102. The light incident from the first lens group 101 is reflected by the reflection mechanism 110, is incident on the second lens group 102, and is received by the image sensor 103. The reflection mechanism 110 changes the direction of the light emitted from the first lens group 101 to a different direction, and causes the light from the first lens group 101 to be incident on the second lens group 102.

反射機構110は、光学式像振れ補正機構(OIS)として機能する。撮像装置100は、振動センサで検出される撮像装置100の振動を示す振動信号に基づいて、反射機構110を駆動して、像振れ補正を実行する。振動センサは、撮像装置100の振動を検出する加速度センサでよい。ジャイロセンサは、例えば角度振れと回転振れを検出する。加速度センサは、例えばX方向やY方向のシフトぶれを検出する。ジャイロセンサでも、角度や回転をX方向の成分やY方向の成分に変換することができる。加速度センサでも、X方向やY方向のシフトぶれを角度ぶれと回転ぶれに変換することができる。振動センサは加速度センサとジャイロセンサとを組み合わせてもよい。振動センサは、ジンバル50に設けられてよい。 The reflection mechanism 110 functions as an optical image shake correction mechanism (OIS). The image pickup apparatus 100 drives the reflection mechanism 110 based on the vibration signal indicating the vibration of the image pickup apparatus 100 detected by the vibration sensor, and executes the image shake correction. The vibration sensor may be an acceleration sensor that detects the vibration of the image pickup apparatus 100. The gyro sensor detects, for example, angular runout and rotational runout. The accelerometer detects, for example, shift deviation in the X direction or the Y direction. Even with a gyro sensor, angles and rotations can be converted into components in the X direction and components in the Y direction.

The first coil is arranged to face the first magnet. The first coil may be arranged along the side of the mounting surface of the base member 130 in the first direction 70.

駆動回路140は、像振れ補正を実行すべく、4つのコイル144のうちの少なくとも1つのコイル144に電流を流して、コイル144の周囲に磁界を発生させて、反射部材116を揺動させる。 The drive circuit 140 causes a magnetic field to be generated around the coil 144 by passing a current through at least one coil 144 out of the four coils 144 in order to perform image runout correction, and causes the reflection member 116 to swing.

調整ネジ124は、外周面にネジ溝を有する。ベース部材130は、調整ネジ124のネジ溝に適合するネジ穴を有する。支持部材120は、板バネ150が反射部材116に加える第6方向80の成分を有する力の大きさを調整すべく、ベース部材130に対するボール122の位置を調整する。より具体的には、調整ネジ124がベース部材130に対してねじ込まれる量が調整されることで、ベース部材130に対するボール122の位置が調整され、板バネ150が反射部材116に加える力の大きさが調整される。ワッシャー126は、調整ネジ124がベース部材130に対してねじ込まれる量を調整するために用いられてよい。用いられるワッシャー126の厚みを調整することで、調整ネジ124がベース部材130に対してねじ込まれる量が調整されてよい。なお、調整ネジ124のみで板バネ150が反射部材116に加える力の大きさを調整できる場合には、ワッシャー126はなくてもよい。 The adjusting screw 124 has a thread groove on the outer peripheral surface. The base member 130 has a screw hole that fits into the thread groove of the adjusting screw 124. The support member 120 adjusts the position of the ball 122 with respect to the base member 130 in order to adjust the magnitude of the force of the leaf spring 150 having the component of the sixth direction 80 applied to the reflective member 116. More specifically, by adjusting the amount of the adjusting screw 124 screwed into the base member 130, the position of the ball 122 with respect to the base member 130 is adjusted, and the magnitude of the force applied by the leaf spring 150 to the reflective member 116 is large. Is adjusted. The washer 126 may be used to adjust the amount by which the adjusting screw 124 is screwed into the base member 130. By adjusting the thickness of the washer 126 used, the amount of the adjusting screw 124 screwed into the base member 130 may be adjusted. If the magnitude of the force applied to the reflective member 116 by the leaf spring 150 can be adjusted only by the adjusting screw 124, the washer 126 may be omitted.

反射機構110が1kHz~10kHzの周波数で反射部材116を揺動させる場合、反射部材116の駆動量が大きくなる。反射部材116の駆動量が大きくなると、磁石142とコイル144との間に作用するローレンツ力と反射部材116の変位との直線性が悪くなる。そのため、OIS駆動制御では、ホール素子などの位置検出センサを設けてフィードバック制御をする必要性が生じる。しかし、10kHz~150kHzで反射部材116を駆動させようとすると、OIS駆動制御の分解能を、1kHz~10kHzでの分解能に比べて、1/20から1/30以下くらいまで細かくする必要がある。しかし、位置検出センサで、その分解能を実現することは難しい。しかし、反射機構110が、10kHz~150kHzの周波数で反射部材116を揺動させる場合、反射部材116の駆動量は比較的に小さい。例えば、反射機構110は、ナノミクロンオーダーで反射部材116を振動させてよい。そのため、磁石142とコイル144との間に作用するローレンツ力と反射部材116の変位との直線性を維持しやすい。そこで、本実施形態では、反射機構110は、反射部材116の位置を検出する位置検出センサによる検出結果に基づくフィードバック制御を実行しない。すなわち、反射機構110は、反射部材116の位置を検出する位置検出センサを有さない。 When the reflection mechanism 110 swings the reflection member 116 at a frequency of 1 kHz to 10 kHz, the driving amount of the reflection member 116 becomes large. When the driving amount of the reflective member 116 becomes large, the linearity between the Lorentz force acting between the magnet 142 and the coil 144 and the displacement of the reflective member 116 deteriorates. Therefore, in OIS drive control, it is necessary to provide a position detection sensor such as a Hall element for feedback control. However, when the reflective member 116 is to be driven at 10 kHz to 150 kHz, the resolution of the OIS drive control needs to be finer to about 1/20 to 1/30 or less as compared with the resolution at 1 kHz to 10 kHz. However, it is difficult to achieve the resolution with a position detection sensor. However, when the reflection mechanism 110 swings the reflection member 116 at a frequency of 10 kHz to 150 kHz, the driving amount of the reflection member 116 is relatively small. For example, the reflection mechanism 110 may vibrate the reflection member 116 on the order of nanomicrons. Therefore, it is easy to maintain the linearity between the Lorentz force acting between the magnet 142 and the coil 144 and the displacement of the reflective member 116. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the reflection mechanism 110 does not execute feedback control based on the detection result by the position detection sensor that detects the position of the reflection member 116. That is, the reflection mechanism 110 does not have a position detection sensor that detects the position of the reflection member 116.

また、反射部材116の駆動量を大きくするためには、板バネ150が、可動部材114をボール122に押し付ける力は、それほど大きくできない。すなわち、板バネ150はある程度変形しやすくするために、板バネ150のバネ定数は比較的小さい値になる。しかし、板バネ150のバネ定数が小さいと、撮像装置100が使用される環境によっては、板バネ150に押え付けられている反射部材116が、撮像装置100の振動により共振してしまう。例えば、撮像システム10がUAVなどの移動体に搭載される場合、移動体の駆動で生じる振動で、反射部材116が共振してしまう場合がある。 Further, in order to increase the driving amount of the reflective member 116, the force with which the leaf spring 150 presses the movable member 114 against the ball 122 cannot be increased so much. That is, in order to make the leaf spring 150 easily deformed to some extent, the spring constant of the leaf spring 150 is a relatively small value. However, if the spring constant of the leaf spring 150 is small, the reflective member 116 pressed against the leaf spring 150 resonates due to the vibration of the image pickup device 100 depending on the environment in which the image pickup device 100 is used. For example, when the image pickup system 10 is mounted on a moving body such as a UAV, the reflecting member 116 may resonate due to the vibration generated by the driving of the moving body.

そこで、本実施形態では、ジンバル50で1kHz~10kHzの周波数の像振れを補正し、かつ反射機構110で、ジンバル50で補正しきれない10kHz~150kHzの周波数の像振れを補正する。反射機構110は、ジンバル50で補正する第1周波数帯域よりも高い第2周波数帯域の周波数の像振れを補正すべく、反射部材116を揺動させる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gimbal 50 corrects the image shake of the frequency of 1 kHz to 10 kHz, and the reflection mechanism 110 corrects the image shake of the frequency of 10 kHz to 150 kHz that cannot be completely corrected by the gimbal 50. The reflection mechanism 110 swings the reflection member 116 in order to correct the image shake of the frequency in the second frequency band higher than the first frequency band corrected by the gimbal 50.

反射機構110が比較的高い周波数帯域での像振れを補正するためには、板バネ150のバネ定数を比較的大きくする必要がある。そして、反射部材116の共振を防止するためには、板バネ150が可動部材114をボール122に押し付ける力もある程度の精度で調整する必要がある。 In order for the reflection mechanism 110 to correct the image runout in a relatively high frequency band, it is necessary to make the spring constant of the leaf spring 150 relatively large. Then, in order to prevent the resonance of the reflective member 116, it is necessary to adjust the force with which the leaf spring 150 presses the movable member 114 against the ball 122 with a certain degree of accuracy.

そこで、本実施形態では、ボール122のベース部材130に対する位置を調整すべく、ボール122を支持する部材を調整ネジ124で構成する。これにより、ベース部材130に対する調整ネジ124のねじ込み量を調整することで、ボール122のベース部材130に対する位置を容易に調整できる。よって、板バネ150が可動部材114をボール122に押し付ける力を精度よく調整できる。 Therefore, in the present embodiment, the member that supports the ball 122 is configured by the adjusting screw 124 in order to adjust the position of the ball 122 with respect to the base member 130. Thereby, by adjusting the screwing amount of the adjusting screw 124 with respect to the base member 130, the position of the ball 122 with respect to the base member 130 can be easily adjusted. Therefore, the force with which the leaf spring 150 presses the movable member 114 against the ball 122 can be accurately adjusted.

また、板バネ150のバネ定数は、板バネ150に押し付けられた反射部材116の1次共振周波数が200kHz以上になる値にする。これにより、ジンバル50での像振れ補正及び反射機構110での像振れ補正により生じる振動で、板バネ150に押し付けられた反射部材116が共振することを防止できる。 Further, the spring constant of the leaf spring 150 is set to a value at which the primary resonance frequency of the reflective member 116 pressed against the leaf spring 150 becomes 200 kHz or more. As a result, it is possible to prevent the reflective member 116 pressed against the leaf spring 150 from resonating due to the vibration generated by the image shake correction by the gimbal 50 and the image shake correction by the reflection mechanism 110.

撮像装置100がジンバル50を介して、UAV1000などの移動体に搭載される場合、移動体が駆動するときに生じる振動で、反射部材116が共振する可能性がある。そのため、板バネ150のバネ定数は、板バネ150に押し付けられた反射部材116の1次共振周波数が、移動体が駆動する場合に移動体で発生する振動に起因する周波数より高くなる値にする。 When the image pickup apparatus 100 is mounted on a moving body such as the UAV 1000 via the gimbal 50, the reflection member 116 may resonate due to the vibration generated when the moving body is driven. Therefore, the spring constant of the leaf spring 150 is set so that the primary resonance frequency of the reflective member 116 pressed against the leaf spring 150 is higher than the frequency caused by the vibration generated by the moving body when the moving body is driven. ..

撮像装置100がジンバル50を介してUAV1000に搭載される場合には、板バネ150に押し付けられた反射部材116の1次共振周波数が、少なくとも1つの回転翼が回転する場合にUAV1000で発生する振動に起因する周波数より高くなる値にする。 When the image pickup device 100 is mounted on the UAV 1000 via the gimbal 50, the primary resonance frequency of the reflective member 116 pressed against the leaf spring 150 is the vibration generated in the UAV 1000 when at least one rotary blade rotates. The value should be higher than the frequency caused by.

これにより、撮像装置100が使用される環境によって、像振れの補正が十分に行えなくなることを防止できる。また、例えば、撮像装置100がUAV1000などの移動体に搭載される場合に、移動体の振動で、反射部材116が共振することを防止できる。OSI制御が実行されず、コイル114に電流が流れていない場合に、反射部材116が意図せずに振動することを防止できる。 This makes it possible to prevent the image shake from being sufficiently corrected depending on the environment in which the image pickup apparatus 100 is used. Further, for example, when the image pickup apparatus 100 is mounted on a moving body such as the UAV 1000, it is possible to prevent the reflecting member 116 from resonating due to the vibration of the moving body. It is possible to prevent the reflective member 116 from unintentionally vibrating when the OSI control is not executed and no current is flowing through the coil 114.

図7A、図7B、及び図7Cは、反射機構110の組み立て手順を示す図である。図7Aに示すように、ベース部材130の載置面の4つの凹部にコイル144を配置した状態で、反射部材116をベース部材130に組み付ける。次いで、図7Bに示すように、可動部材114の側面の溝114b内に板バネ150を嵌める。さらに、図7Cに示すように、ベース部材130の裏側から、ボール122、ワッシャー126、及び調整ネジ124をベース部材130に取り付ける。ここで、調整ネジ124のねじ込み量を微調整して、板バネ150が反射部材116を押し付ける力を調整してよい。ワッシャー126の厚さを変更することで、板バネ150が反射部材116を押し付ける力を調整してよい。 7A, 7B, and 7C are views showing an assembly procedure of the reflection mechanism 110. As shown in FIG. 7A, the reflective member 116 is assembled to the base member 130 in a state where the coils 144 are arranged in the four recesses on the mounting surface of the base member 130. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the leaf spring 150 is fitted in the groove 114b on the side surface of the movable member 114. Further, as shown in FIG. 7C, the ball 122, the washer 126, and the adjusting screw 124 are attached to the base member 130 from the back side of the base member 130. Here, the screwing amount of the adjusting screw 124 may be finely adjusted to adjust the force with which the leaf spring 150 presses the reflective member 116. By changing the thickness of the washer 126, the force with which the leaf spring 150 presses the reflective member 116 may be adjusted.

以上、本実施形態によれば、板バネ150が反射部材116を押し付ける力を適切に調整できるので、撮像装置100の使用環境によらず、像振れの補正をより精度よく実行できる。 As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the force of the leaf spring 150 pressing the reflective member 116 can be appropriately adjusted, the image shake correction can be performed more accurately regardless of the usage environment of the image pickup apparatus 100.
