The present invention relates to an exposure condition switching device (for example, a shutter device, an aperture device, a filter) for a camera equipped with a rotatable electromagnetic actuator and the electromagnetic actuator as a driving source. Device, etc.).

Small cameras (still cameras and video cameras) are mounted in notebooks and mobile phones, and in many cases, as a driving source of exposure condition switching devices such as shutter devices, aperture devices, or filter devices mounted on these cameras, Actuator is used.

BACKGROUND ART As an electromagnetic actuator used for this kind of use, a rotor type that rotates in a predetermined angle range is known. An actuator of this type includes a rotor having a cylindrical permanent magnet and a drive pin at a position eccentric from the center of rotation, a body member for supporting the rotor to rotate, and an outer side of the body member. And a yoke or the like coupled to the outer periphery of the body member and the yoke etc.

In this case, the coil is usually wound so as to surround the rotation axis of the rotor, and thus the dimension in the direction of the rotation axis of the rotor becomes large, and as a result, the thickness of an exposure condition switching device such as an aperture device becomes thick. There was a problem. When the thickness of an exposure condition switching device such as an aperture device becomes thick, it also affects the thinning and miniaturization of a camera mounted thereon.

For this reason, an electronic actuator capable of thinning has been developed and one example thereof is disclosed in Patent Document 1.

The structure of the actuator of patent document 1 is shown in FIG. The actuator includes a movable member 400 which mounts a permanent magnet 401 in the middle of the free end side, and has a driving pin 402 at the free end side of the free end side, and a coil 410 and a magnetic path for excitation wound around the bobbin 412. An actuator of the type having a stator 420 including a yoke 421 to be formed, and rotating the movable element 400 by energizing the coil 410 to obtain a driving force by the driving pin 402. The rotating point 403 of the movable element 400 is provided. It is arrange | positioned outside the area | region enclosed by the coil 412.

According to this structure, since the mover 400 rotates around the rotation point 403 outside the area surrounded by the coil 410, the area surrounded by the coil 410 in the mover 400 can be formed thinly and flatly, Coil 410 is thin and can be wound widely. Therefore, the actuator can be made thinner in the axial direction of the rotation point 403 as compared with the coil wound around the rotor as in the prior art.

Moreover, what was disclosed by patent document 2 is shown in FIG. 6 as an example of another rotating electromagnetic actuator.

The electromagnetic actuator is provided with a pair of yokes 501 and 501 facing each other, and the yoke 501 and 501 are supported by props 502 and 502. The permanent magnet 503 is fixed to the inner surface of one yoke 501, and one end of the rotating arm 505 is secured between the permanent magnet 503 and the other yoke 501 and the magnetic void 504 is secured between the surface of the permanent magnet 503. The structure which inserted the planar movable coil 506 provided in this is provided. The rotating arm 505 is configured to rotate about the rotating shaft 507 disposed outside the permanent magnet 503. When the coil 506 is energized, the driving force around the rotating shaft 507 acts on the movable coil 506 to rotate the rotating arm 505. . Therefore, the rotational force can be output from the other end side of the rotary arm 505.

Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 3271303

However, the electromagnetic actuator shown in Fig. 5 reduces the height of the coil 410 in the rotation axis direction by placing the rotation point 403 outside the area surrounded by the coil 410 wound on the tubular body, but the coil is wound on the tubular body. Because of adopting the constitution, there was a limit to thinning.

In addition, since the electromagnetic actuator shown in Fig. 6 has a structure in which the plate-shaped permanent magnet 503 magnetized in the thickness direction and the coil 506 wound in a planar shape are confronted, the thickness can be reduced, but the rotation shaft 507 is disposed outside the permanent magnet 503. Therefore, it is difficult to generate a large driving force while maintaining a small size.

The boss 15 for determination is formed. A circular opening 12 for exposure is formed in the center of the substrate portion 11 of the housing 10, and an arc-shaped rib 11a for smoothly sliding the filter body 30 is provided on the surrounding substrate portion 11.

Further, near the boundary between the substrate portion 11 and the recessed portion 13 of the housing 10, a rotation limiting recessed portion 17 for limiting the rotational range of the output lever 130, which will be described later, is formed, and the rotation point of the filter main body 30 is located in the vicinity thereof. The pin 18 is formed to protrude.

An optical filter 40 is attached to the filter main body 30 so as to cover the opening 31, a pin hole 32 into which a pin 18 for a rotation point of the housing 10 is inserted, and a driving pin 133 of the output lever 130 of the electronic actuator 100 are inserted into the proximal end. A long hole 33 is formed. The cover 50 is provided with an opening 51, a pin hole 52, and an evacuation hole 53 corresponding to the opening 31, the pin hole 32, and the long hole 33 of the filter main body 30, respectively. Further, the lower surface of the cover 50 is provided with an arc-shaped rib 54 for reducing the contact surface with the filter main body 30 so as to move the filter main body 30 easily.

The actuator 100 is an excitation coil 110 accommodated in the bottom surface of the recess 13 for assembling the actuator 10 of the housing 10, a flat permanent magnet 120 provided above the coil 110, and an output provided above the permanent magnet 120. Lever 130, a flat plate-shaped first yoke 140 provided on the upper surface of the permanent magnet 120, two strip-shaped second yoke 150 provided on the lower surface of the housing 10 for accommodating the coil 110, and the upper side of the first yoke 140 The lever support plate 20 etc. which cover the gap are comprised.

In this case, the mover of the electronic actuator 100 is constituted by the permanent magnet 120, the output lever 130, and the first yoke 140, and the stator is constituted by the coil 110 and the second yoke 150. The electromagnetic actuator 100 rotates the mover by energizing the coil 110 to transmit the driving force for rotation to the filter main body 30 through the output lever 130 serving as the output member.

As shown in Fig. 2, the output lever 130 forms an output lever shaft 132 as a rotation axis perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the arm 131 at the proximal end of the arm 131, and is perpendicular to the plane of rotation of the mover at the end of rotation of the arm 131. The drive pin 133 is formed upright, and the positioning piece 134 for positioning the permanent magnet 120 is formed in contact with the side surface of the permanent magnet 120 in the middle of the arm 131. The output lever shaft 132 projects the lower shaft portion 132a and the upper shaft portion 132b up and down the arm 131.

Permanent magnet 120 is beveled at an appropriate angle of the four corners in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed in a plane, has a thin plate shape with a central hole 121 (see Fig. 1) in the center of the plate surface, magnetized in the thickness direction It is. The permanent magnet 120 and the output lever 130 are placed in a state where the arm 131 of the output lever 130 is mounted on the upper surface by passing the lower shaft portion 132a of the output lever shaft 132 through the center hole 121, and the positioning piece 134 of the output lever 130 is brought into contact with the side. It is fixed to each other with an adhesive or the like. In addition, the first yoke 140 is a flat plate having the same planar shape as the permanent magnet 120. The first yoke 140 is fixed to the upper surface of the permanent magnet 120 with an adhesive or the like while receiving the output lever 130 in the groove 141. Accordingly, the permanent magnet 120 and the output lever are fixed. The mover which consists of 130 and the 1st yoke 140 is comprised integrally.

The permanent magnets magnetized in the thickness direction are divided into four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2, and S2 of the same shape and size arranged along the circumferential direction of the output lever shaft 132, and arranged along these circumferential directions. The magnetization directions of the four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2, and S2 are alternately set to be reverse polarity. That is, the approximately rectangular permanent magnet 120 is divided into four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2, and S2 divided into four bisectors on the longitudinal side and a bisector on the horizontal side. The magnetic zones N1 and N2 at the diagonal positions with the center hole 121 interposed are magnetized so that one side of the plate (upper side) becomes the N pole and the other side of the plate (lower side) becomes the S pole, and the other diagonal is set. The magnetic zones S1 and S2 in the position are magnetized so that one plate surface (upper surface) side becomes the S pole and the opposite plate surface (lower surface) side becomes the N pole.

On the other hand, the coil 110 of the stator is wound so as to form a rectangular loop in a planar shape so as to face the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120. The coil 110 is formed as an air core coil having two straight portions 115 and 116 in which current flows in substantially opposite directions in parallel to each other. The coil 110 is output while only the straight portions 115 and 116 face the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120. The lever shaft 132 penetrates and faces each other. Further, the straight portions 115 and 116 face the direction crossing the two magnetic zones S2, N1, S1 and N2 adjacent in the circumferential direction among the four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2 and S2 on the permanent magnet 120 side, respectively. Therefore, four regions N1 ', S1', N2 ', and S2' facing the four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2, and S2 of the permanent magnet 120 are secured in the straight portions 115 and 116 of the coil 110, respectively.

When assembling such an electronic actuator 100, first, the coil 110 is set in the bottom (bottom surface) of the recessed part 13 for actuator assembly of the housing 10. As shown in FIG. At that time, the central opening 111 of the coil 110 is inserted into the boss 15 of the housing, and the position thereof is determined. In this state, the coil 110 is fixed to the housing 10 with an adhesive or the like.

On the other hand, the lower shaft portion 132a of the output lever shaft 132 is inserted into the center hole 121 of the permanent magnet 120 from the upper surface side, and the positions of the output lever 132 and the permanent magnet 120 are determined to each other and fixed with an adhesive or the like. The mover is constructed by fixing the upper surface of the magnet 120 with an adhesive or the like.

Next, the lower end shaft portion 132a of the output lever shaft 132 of the mover is coupled to the shaft hole 14 of the housing 10 to put the mover into the recess 13 so that the permanent magnet 120 faces the upper surface of the coil 110. In this state, the permanent magnet 120 is disposed parallel to the plane of rotation of the mover. When the mover is set, the lever support plate 20 is covered thereon as shown in FIG. At that time, the upper shaft portion 132b of the output lever shaft 132 is set to be inserted into the shaft hole 21 of the lever support plate 20. Then, the lever support plate 20 is fixed to the housing with screws 301 and 302. In this way, the mover (output lever 130, permanent magnet 120, first yoke 140) is supported by the housing 10 to rotate in the direction of the arrow f1a and the direction f1b. At this time, the tip of the arm 131 of the output lever 130 is located in the rotation limiting recess 17, thereby limiting the rotation range of the mover.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the second yoke 150 is disposed in the recess 19e of the lower surface (bottom surface) of the housing 10 in which the coil 110 is accommodated, and fixed with an adhesive or the like. Accordingly, the stator is formed by the coil 110 and the second yoke 150, and a magnetic path is formed by the permanent magnet 120, the first yoke 140, and the second yoke 150 with the coil 110 therebetween. Two pieces of yoke 150 may be used, or only one piece may be used.

In the groove 19a of the side of the housing 10, when the coil 110 is not energized, an adsorption piece 180 for adsorbing and supporting the permanent magnet 120 (that is, the mover) at a predetermined rotational position is provided and fixed with an adhesive or the like. The adsorption piece 180 is a strip of magnetic material. In the example shown in the drawing, only one piece is provided, but two pieces may be provided in the groove 19b of the side portion of the housing 10. In this case, the position can be selectively determined by one rotational end and the other rotational end with respect to the permanent magnet 120. Therefore, the permanent magnet 120 can be absorbed and supported by the rotational end closer to the rotational position when the coil 110 is not energized. Will be. In this way, the coil 110 does not need to be energized while supporting the permanent magnet 120, thereby saving power.

In addition to the member described above, the electronic actuator 100 including the mover and the stator is formed by connecting the lead wire 61 including the driving circuit board 62 and the connector to the terminals 112a and 112b of the coil 110.

Next, after the electronic actuator 100 is assembled, the filter main body 30 is placed on the substrate portion 11 of the housing 10. The pin hole 32 of the filter body 30 is inserted into the pin 18 of the housing 10, and the long hole 33 of the filter body 30 is coupled to the drive pin 133 of the output lever 130 of the electronic actuator 100. In this way, the filter main body 30 can be rotated in the directions of arrows f2a and f2b.

After the assembly of the filter main body 30 is completed, cover 50 is placed on the upper surface of the housing 10 and fixed to the housing 10 with screws 303 to 305. At that time, the pin hole 52 of the cover 50 is inserted into the pin 18 of the housing 10, and the evacuation hole 53 of the cover 50 is aligned with the position of the drive pin 133 of the electromagnetic actuator 100.

The filter drive device is completed by the above assembly.

Next, the operation will be described.

As indicated by the arrow in Fig. 2, the magnetic force lines B generated by the permanent magnet 120 are directed upward and downward through the coil 110, so that when the current i flows in the coil 110, four magnetic zones N1, S1, N2, and S2 of the permanent magnet 120 flow. And a force following the law of the left hand of Fleming occurs between the four regions N1 ', S1', N2 ', and S2' of the coil 110 opposite thereto. In other words, a force in the direction of arrow F1 acts on the coil 110 between N1 and N1 ', a force in the direction of arrow F2 acts on the coil 110 between S1 and S1', and a coil 110 between N2 and N2 '. The force acts in the direction of arrow F3 with respect to, and the force acts in the direction of arrow F4 with respect to coil 110 between S2 and S2 '.

In this case, since the coil 110 is fixed and the permanent magnet 120 is movable, the force in the direction opposite to the arrows F1 to F4 acts on the permanent magnet 120. Since each of these forces acts as a moment in the same direction about the output lever shaft (rotation shaft) 132, the mover rotates in the direction of the arrow Fb by a strong force. Then, the rotation of the mover is transmitted to the filter main body 30 through the drive pin 133 of the output lever 130, so that the filter main body 30 rotates in one direction. In addition, by switching the energization direction of the coil 110, the mover rotates in the direction of arrow Fa so that the filter main body 30 rotates in the other direction. Thereby, insertion and removal of the filter 40 with respect to the opening part 12 for exposure are performed.

In the electromagnetic actuator 100 of such a filter drive device, a flat permanent magnet 120 magnetized in the thickness direction is used as the permanent magnet of the rotatable mover, and the coil 110 of the stator is wound in a flat shape so as to face the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120. As the coil 110 is formed in a planar shape, the direction of the rotation axis can be made thin in comparison with the conventional electromagnetic actuator in which the coil is wound around the cylindrical body so as to surround the permanent magnet shown in FIG. In addition, since the rotating shaft (output lever shaft 132) is arranged at the center of the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120, the rotating shaft (output lever shaft 132) is compared with the conventional electromagnetic actuator in which the rotating shaft shown in Fig. 6 is disposed outside the permanent magnet. As long as it can penetrate and face the permanent magnet 120 and the coil 110 symmetrically at both positions, it is possible to generate a balanced strong driving force about the rotating shaft (output lever shaft 132). Therefore, high driving force can be obtained while reducing thickness and size. In addition, as the electronic actuator 100 becomes thinner and smaller, the entire filter driving device can be made thinner and smaller.

In addition, the permanent magnet 120 of the mover is divided into four magnetic zones S1, N1, S2, and N2 arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft (output lever shaft 132), and four magnetic zones S1 and N1 arranged along the circumferential direction thereof. And the magnetization directions of S2 and N2 are alternately set to be reverse polarity, and the coil 110 wound in a planar shape is composed of an air core coil having two straight portions 115 and 116 in which current flows in substantially opposite directions to each other. Two magnetic zones S1 facing the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120 through the rotating shaft (output lever shaft 132) facing each other and facing each other in the circumferential direction among the four magnetic zones S1, N1, S2, and N2. By arranging N1, S2, and N2 in the direction crossing, the rotational force in the rotational direction can be efficiently generated for each magnetic zone S1, N1, S2, N2. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently generate a strong driving force while using a small coil 110 or permanent magnet 120 can be further thinned and downsized.

Also, the output lever shaft 132 is inserted into the center hole 121 of the permanent magnet 120, and the permanent magnet 120 and the output lever 130 are integrally fixed. In this state, the lower shaft portion 132a and the upper shaft portion 132B of the output lever shaft 132 are fixed to the shaft of the housing 10. The assembly of the permanent magnet 120, the output lever 130, and the first yoke 140 can be rotatably assembled to the housing 10 only by engaging the hole 14 and the shaft hole 21 of the lever support plate 20, thereby enabling easy assembly.

In addition, since the first and second yokes 140 and 150 are disposed outside the permanent magnet 120 and the coil 110, a strong magnetic force can be applied to the coil 110, resulting in a strong driving output. . In addition, since the first yoke 140 is disposed on the plate surface of the permanent magnet 120 to form one of the components of the mover, the strength of the permanent magnet 120 can be increased by the yoke 140.

In addition, since the position is determined with respect to the coil 110 by the boss part 15 which is formed in the bottom surface (bottom surface; attachment surface) of the actuator assembly recessed part 13 of the housing 10, installation of the coil 110 can be made simple and accurate. .

In addition, when the power is not supplied, the permanent magnet 120, that is, the mover is supported at the proper position by the function of the suction piece 180 can save power.

In the above embodiment, the case where the electronic actuator 100 is applied as a drive source of the filter driving device is shown. However, the electronic actuator 100 is a shutter device for opening and closing the exposure opening with a blade, an aperture device for adjusting the opening degree of the exposure opening with a blade, and the like. It can also be assembled as a drive source.

According to the invention of claim 1, as the permanent magnet of the rotatable mover, a plate-shaped permanent magnet parallel to the plane of rotation of the mover and magnetized in the thickness direction is used, and the coil of the stator is placed on the plate surface of the plate-shaped permanent magnet. Since it is wound in a flat shape so as to face, the dimension in the direction of the rotation axis can be reduced as compared with the conventional electromagnetic actuator in which the coil is wound around the tubular body so as to surround the permanent magnet as much as the coil is formed in the shape of a plane. In addition, since the rotating shaft is disposed at the center of the plate of the permanent magnet, the permanent magnet and the coil can be symmetrically faced through the rotating shaft and symmetrically at both positions as compared with the conventional electromagnetic actuator in which the rotating shaft is disposed outside the permanent magnet. Therefore, a balanced strong driving force can be generated around the rotation axis. Therefore, high driving force can be obtained while reducing thickness and size.

According to the invention of claim 2, the permanent magnet of the mover is divided into four magnetic zones arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotation axis, and the magnetization directions of the four magnetic zones arranged along these circumferential directions are alternately set to be reverse polarity.

The straight portion mainly penetrates the rotating shaft while facing the plate surface of the permanent magnet, By arranging the two magnetic zones adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction in the direction crossing the respective magnetic zones, the rotational force in the rotational direction can be efficiently generated for each magnetic zone. Therefore, a strong driving force can be efficiently generated while using a small coil or permanent magnet, and further thinning and miniaturization can be achieved.

According to the invention of claim 3, by inserting the output lever shaft into the center hole of the permanent magnet, the permanent magnet and the output lever are fixed integrally, and in that state, the mover can be easily rotated in the housing simply by engaging the output lever shaft to the housing. Can be assembled.

According to the invention of claim 4, since the first and second yokes for constituting the magnetic path are disposed outside the permanent magnet and the coil, a stronger driving force can be generated. In addition, since the first yoke is arranged on the plate surface of the permanent magnet to form one of the components of the mover, the strength of the permanent magnet can be increased by the yoke.

According to the invention of claim 5, since the position is determined by the boss formed on the mounting surface of the housing with respect to the coil, the installation of the coil can be made simple and accurate.

According to the invention of claim 6, when the magnet is not energized, the permanent magnet, and thus the mover, can be supported in the fixed position by the suction piece.

According to the invention of claim 7, it can be supported at the position when the energization of the mover is stopped.
