Abstract

A slide guide mechanism which linearly displaces optical parts, such as mirrors, shutters, and wavelength filters, in order to stabilize the insertion loss of optical parts at a low level by a simple guide mechanism. The slide guide mechanism is adapted to linearly move along two V-shaped non-parallel planes, whereby even if design and production accuracies are somewhat poor or even if the device is somewhat deformed as it is thermally expanded by temperature changes, it is made possible for optical parts, such as moving mirrors, to maintain high angular accuracy or high positional accuracy.

Description of the invention: [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a light of a light switch such as an optical information network, an optical LAN, or a mirror, a chirp, a shutter for a variable optical attenuator, etc. element. [Prior art] As shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2001-350105, it is known that, for such an optical device, for example, the optical switch 900 shown in FIG. 7 is known. The optical switch 900 has optical fibers 9 11, 921 and lens systems 912, 922, forms input ports 9 10a, 920a, and has optical fiber optical axis meters 91, 920 and optical fibers 931, The 941 and the lens systems 93 and 942 form output ports 930a and 940a, and include a 2x2 optical switch with two inputs and two outputs of a fiber optic axis meter 93o and 940 that make the passing light into parallel rays. In addition, the optical switch 900 includes a light conversion element 950, a support plate 960, a driving actuator 970, a guide mechanism 980, and a connection mechanism 990; the conversion element 950 has right angles 稜鏡 951 and 952; and the support plate 960 supports light Conversion element 950; the drive actuator 970 moves the light conversion element 950 to the display direction of the arrow symbol 950a and the arrow symbol 950b, such as a solenoid actuator; the guide mechanism 980 is guided by the drive actuator 970 The movement of the light conversion element 950; the connection mechanism 990 connects the driving actuator 970 and the guide mechanism 980. In addition, the optical switch 900 is used to drive the actuator 970 to move the optical conversion element 950 to the display direction of the front number 9 5 0 a. The optical fiber optical axis meters 91 0, 9 2 0, and the optical fiber optical axis meters 930 and 940 are used. By stretching, the light emitted from the optical fiber optical axis meters 910 and 920 directly enters each of the optical fiber optical axis meters 930 and 940. 95976.doc 200528753 On the one hand, the optical switch 900 drives the actuator 970 to move the light conversion element 95o to the display direction of the arrow symbol 950b, and the light beams incident on the fiber optic axis meters 91 and 92 are as shown in the figure. As shown in FIG. 7, the light conversion element 950 changes the light incident on the optical fiber optical axis meters 940 and 930. In this way, between the optical fiber optical axis meters 91 and 92 and the optical fiber optical axis meters 930 and 940, depending on whether or not the optical conversion element 950 is inserted, the light emitted by the optical fiber optical axis meters 910 and 920 can be converted into the optical fiber optical axis meters. Lights of 930 and 940 and the optical paths of 940 and 930 of fiber optic axes emitted by fiber optic axemeters 91 and 920. However, in the optical switch 900, as the conversion element 950 is not present in the optical path, the conversion element 950 is disposed in the optical path, and even in the case of converting the optical path, it is expected that the insertion loss is small. The conversion element 950 is arranged in the optical path. In order to reduce the insertion loss when the optical path is converted, the light emitted by the optical fiber optical axis meters 91 and 920 that form the input ports 910a and 920a must be reduced when incident to the output ports 930a and 940a. The loss of the fiber optic axis meter at 930,940. However, in the conventional optical switch 900, when the optical path is switched, the optical conversion element 950 is inserted into the light with high angular accuracy and positional accuracy, which has a problem that it is difficult to reduce the insertion loss. That is, when the diameter Φ of the light beam emitted by the optical fiber optical axis meter is increased by 0.4 mm and the insertion loss is suppressed to οι dB or less, the precision guide structure is designed to suppress the angular shift of the light conversion element to 0.02 degrees or less. When the height is 3 mm, it is difficult to manufacture the gap between the conductor surface and the slider unless it is designed and processed below 0 mm. In addition, if the ambient temperature changes, a gap is created by the difference in thermal expansion between the conductor and the slider. Due to the manufacturing error and the effect of thermal expansion, the slider is rotated in the conductor surface when it moves. For example, in FIG. 8, when a gap is formed in the y-axis direction, the rotation of the conductor surface in a straight direction (Φ and 〇 directions in FIG. 8) viewed from the χ-axis direction is suppressed by the conductor surface, but the rotation in the θ direction It cannot be restrained, and the mechanical tilt of the light conversion element increases the inclination angle in the ㊀ direction, which increases the insertion loss and deteriorates the characteristics of the optical switch. Further, not only the slider rotates in the damaged soil, but also the cause of parallel displacement. If the slider displaces the conductor, the right angle 稜鏡 that moves integrally with the slider is also displaced. In the case of a rectangular mirror to reflect and fold back the beam, if the right-angle mirror is in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the incident beam, if it is only △ continued, it will be reflected twice, and the folded beam will be doubled as a rainbow, which is 2M displacement. . The displacement of the optical axis of the reflected beam causes an increase in the insertion loss of the optical combination of the optical fiber optical axis meter on the exit side. [Summary of the Invention] Here, the present invention is compared with the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a kind of rotation that is added to the φ and φ directions, and the θ direction also maintains a high angular accuracy, while also maintaining a high position accuracy of the mirror.

[Induction]: According to the present invention, the aforementioned means for moving a member and the movement of the member may be integrally formed, and a connection portion of the driving means may be formed. According to the present invention, a guide member that supports the aforementioned guide portion with a brake is also 95976.doc 200528753. As the brake, there are leaf springs and the like.

In addition, with the light changing member of this case, not only the optical path can be controlled, but also all physical quantities of light such as light and polarized light can be controlled. : According to the present invention, even without high-precision dimensional accuracy, since the freedom 1 'of the sliders that linearly move in each plane is suppressed, it is possible to suppress the displacement and rotation of the sliders that are directly moved.

According to the present invention, it can be easily processed. Further, durability can be improved. In addition, the light changing member used in this case can control not only the optical path, but also the physical quantities of light such as light quantity and polarized light. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1A to 3B are diagrams showing an embodiment of an optical switch according to the present invention. The optical switch 100 is a 1 x 2 optical switch formed by a fiber optical axis meter 1 with one light incident means and a fiber optical axis meter 2 with 3 light emitting means. The optical fiber optical axis instrument 1 is formed by the optical fiber 101 and the optical axis instrument 102, and the passing light is made into parallel rays. The optical fiber optical axis meters 2 and 3 are formed by the optical fiber axes 104 and 105 and the optical axis meters 103 and 106, which efficiently guide parallel light rays to the optical fibers. In addition, the optical switch 100 includes a right-angle prism 109, a slider 108, and an actuator 110. The right-angle 稜鏡 109 is a mirror lens; the slider 108 is formed so as to move with the right-angle 稜鏡 109; the actuator 110 When the aforementioned right angle 稜鏡 109 and the slider 108 are moved in a straight line, a conductor 107 which is used as a reference for the position and angle 95976.doc -10- 200528753 and the aforementioned right angle 稜鏡 109 and the slider 1 are generated. 〇8 The power of movement. In this embodiment, the conductor 107 constitutes a moving guide means, and the right angle 稜鏡 109 provided integrally with the slider 108 corresponds to the light changing member of the present invention. The component moving means of the present invention is composed of a slider 108 and an actuator 110 of a driving part. The slider 108 includes a function as a fixed part for fixing the right-angle prism 10 and resists the conductor 107. Connect the function of the moving guide. The optical fiber optical axis meter 1 and the optical fiber optical axis meter 2 face each other, and are arranged to be optically combined. At a position where the light beam emitted from the optical fiber's optical axis is not shielded at all, the position of the right angle: the right angle 稜鏡 109 when the mirror 1009 is called the lower position (the position in FIG. Ia). At the position where the light beam emitted by the fiber optic axis instrument is completely shielded, the position where the right angle 稜鏡 109 when the right angle 稜鏡 109 is arranged is called the upper position (the position of Fig. Ϊ́β). The right angle 稜鏡 H) 9 is formed along the conductor 107 and the slider 1 () 8 moves in the direction of the arrow sign in FIG. Slider 移动 According to the electric signal from the control & Θ not shown in the figure, "by the electromagnetic solenoid of the actuator} the mechanical force of the student, move to the direction of movement of the slider shown by the arrow symbol in Figure 1A. 0 right angle稜鏡 As the slider moves to the downward direction of the arrow symbol shown in the figure, when the right angle 9109 is located at a position that does not block the light beam emitted by the optical fiber optical axis instrument 1, the optical fiber optical pump 2 receives light from The parallel light beams emitted from the optical fiber optical axis device 1 shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 3 are shown. Let the path of light at this time be the first optical path. As shown in FIG. 1B and FIG. 3B, the slider 108 moves to the upper direction in the figure along the right-angle prism ⑽ and the conductor 107. When # is in the upper position, the parallel beam emitted by the optical fiber quarter meter 1 is described in FIG. The oblique reflection of the right angle 稜鏡, the light beam 95976.doc 200528753 bends 90 degrees, and then reflects on the oblique surface of the right angle 9109, which is further bent 90 degrees. The optical fiber axemeter 3 is arranged and fixed so as to combine light beams bent twice at a right angle to emit light to the outside. These are the second optical paths. On a reflective surface of a right angle, a high-performance reflective film can be easily obtained by vapor-depositing a metal film of gold, aluminum, or the like by vacuum evaporation. In addition, even if the reflective film is a metal thin film and a d

Si〇2等氧化膜之電介質多層膜,亦可以得到高性能之反射 膜。 石英玻璃之折射率約為1 ·5。朝直角稜鏡之反射面之射入 角為45度且為石英玻璃製的情形,45度的反射面,全反射 的條件成立,對透鏡不施以反射膜亦可以得到1〇〇%的反 射。 另外,在直角稜鏡的射入面,藉以疊層丁丨〇2與si〇2等氧 化膜之電介質多層膜施以反射防止膜,光的損失可以大幅 地縮減。 藉滑動器108的上下移動產生之機械的間隙,針對直角棱 鏡的位置偏差與角度偏差的抑制效果更詳細的加以說明。 由滑動器108的内面以板彈簧向導體1〇7的2面之頂點加 上壓力,藉板彈簧之力,滑動器108其力加於導體面、 l〇7b,推壓至1〇7a、107b,沿著面移動。首先,僅針對導 體面107a加以考慮。 如圖3A、3B所顯示,垂直於藉固定於導體(移動引導構 件)1〇7之板彈簧114產生之導體面ιοπ之方向之力,將滑動 95976.doc 12 200528753 之旋轉與移動, 器ι〇8推壓至導體面107a,僅容許面内方向 不容許其他方向之角度變化與位置變化。 其次,僅針對與導體面職正交之導體面嶋加以考慮。 導體面107b也與導體面1〇7a同樣,藉板彈菁ιΐ4的變形產 生之力,將滑動器⑽推壓至導體面㈣,僅容許面内方向 之旋轉與移動,不容許其他方向之角度變化與位置變化。 由於導體面107a及職相互正交,所以容許滑動器1〇8的 角度變化與位置變化之自由度不存在。Dielectric multilayer films of oxide films such as SiO2 can also obtain high-performance reflective films. The refractive index of quartz glass is about 1.5. When the incident angle to the right-angled reflecting surface is 45 degrees and is made of quartz glass, the 45-degree reflecting surface has the condition of total reflection, and 100% reflection can be obtained without applying a reflective film to the lens. . In addition, an anti-reflection film is formed on the incident surface of the right-angled beam by applying a dielectric multilayer film such as butyl oxide and SiO2, and the light loss can be greatly reduced. The mechanical clearance generated by the up-and-down movement of the slider 108 will explain the effect of suppressing the positional deviation and angular deviation of the right-angle prism in more detail. Pressure is applied from the inner surface of the slider 108 to the vertices of the two surfaces of the leaf spring guide 107, and by the force of the leaf spring, the force of the slider 108 is applied to the conductor surface, 107b, and pushed to 107a, 107b, moving along the surface. First, only the conductive surface 107a is considered. As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the force perpendicular to the direction of the conductor surface ιοπ generated by the plate spring 114 fixed to the conductor (moving guide member) 107 will slide the rotation and movement of 95976.doc 12 200528753. 〇8 Pressing on the conductor surface 107a allows only the in-plane direction and the angular change and position change of other directions are not allowed. Secondly, only the conductor planes orthogonal to the conductor plane are considered. The conductor surface 107b is also the same as the conductor surface 107a. The slider ⑽ is pushed to the conductor surface 借 by the force generated by the deformation of the plate spring ΐ4. Only the in-plane rotation and movement are allowed, and the angle in other directions is not allowed. Change and position change. Since the conductor plane 107a and the duty are orthogonal to each other, there is no degree of freedom in allowing the angle change and position change of the slider 108.

200528753 器203的驅動力在朝滑動器1〇8傳達時產生之旋轉模件。也 就是,傳達滑動器108的重心與驅動力之力之作用點若不 同,則使滑動H 1G8旋轉之模件作動,如圖5所顯示,將促 動器配置於滑動器之側面,透過連桿機構2〇1,藉作成傳達 驅動力之構成,可以削減促動器2〇3及連桿機構2〇ι所佔之 高度,可以實現高度較低之光開關。光開關等光元件之高 度若較低,則組入光元件之電子電路基板的高度總合的可 以較低,結果與裝置的小型化有關。 進一步,如圖5所顯示藉使用三角形狀之連桿機構,旋轉 模件經常一定,光開關之境子的角度安定化,插入損失安 定化。 其次,圖6顯示以1個構件構成連桿機構丨之例。 將没置開口部之連桿21〇固定於滑動器1〇8與管的側面。 將促動器203之控制桿204插入連桿21〇的開口部。促動器 203之控制桿204係移動於箭頭符號211之方向。促動器2〇3 之控制桿204的移動係透過連桿21〇傳達至滑動器1〇8,移動 至箭頭符號211之方向。上述,可以減低光開關的高度之優 點與將滑動器的旋轉模件作成一定,加上安定化光開關之 插入損失之優點,藉將連桿機構作成之構件,形成容易 裝配固定於滑動器108。 另外以本件使用之光轉換元件不僅光路亦可以控制光 里與偏光等之光的物理量全般。又,在實施例的說明,雖 已使用由光軸儀與光纖所形成之光纖光軸儀於光射入手 奴、光射出手段加以說明,不過並不限制於此等。亦可以 95976.doc -17- 200528753 使用種種之發光元件、受光元件、導光體,構成光射入手 段、光射出手段。 另外’光變化構件並不限定於光直角稜鏡,亦可以使用 鏡子、光閘、波長濾'光器等其他光學元件,使光的特性、 路徑變化。又,使用直角稜鏡的情形,由於可以以2平面導 引將直角稜鏡的斜面作為與移動導引構件連接之面,所以 特別適用於本發明。 其次,使用圖9及圖1〇依據圖面說明使用於本發明之光開 關之稜鏡之引導機構之第2實施例。 首先針對引導機構3 01之主要構造加以說明。引導機構 3(H在圖1〇中固定稜鏡,在用以在箭頭符號A方向驅動之滑 動器308,固定設置開口部於側面之連桿31〇。在此,滑動 器308與連桿310即使為別的構件亦可,不過若以線加工或 MIM等之模件加工一體成形,則滑動器3〇8與連桿31〇的接 合部消失,耐久性提升,進一步可以削減裝配成本。 將促動器303之控制桿304插入連桿310的開口部。促動器 303之控制桿304藉移動至箭頭符號a之方向,滑動器3〇8在 箭頭符號A之方向驅動。朝箭頭符號a之滑動器3〇8之移 動,剖面形狀成為二等邊三角形之滑動器3〇8之二等邊,形 成於導體309之前述二等邊三角形與將頂角夾於同型之溝 311之2邊藉黏著,可以將滑動器3〇8之移動限制於箭頭符號 A方向。在滑動器308與溝311之頂角部形成著與該二等邊三 角形相反方向之三角形之溝313。在三角形之溝313的底邊 形成著用以插入引導磁鐵317之溝。引導磁鐵317係固定於 95976.doc -18- 200528753 該溝。在滑動器鳩之二等邊三角形之頂角部固定著滑動器 磁鐵3】5’言亥滑動器磁鐵315係突出於前述溝313。在固定於 滑動益308之滑動器磁鐵315與引導磁鐵317,其引力相互作 動,滑動器则藉該引力黏著於溝311,僅限制於箭頭符號八 方向之私動4313在滑動器308之驅動時,滑動器3〇8與溝 3U之黏著度變差’例如滑動器3〇8以八方向軸為中心作旋轉 時’滑動磁鐵315形成三角形之形狀使其不接觸於導體 309。藉作成如此不接觸之構造,控制位置精度變差,進一 步可以避免最後的破壞,提升耐久性。 前述滑動器308與溝311之接觸面的形狀,雖作成容易加 工之二等邊三角形,不過若為可以限制滑動器谓的移動方 向之形狀’則不限定於此等。另外,即使針對溝313的形狀, 滑動器磁鐵化若為不接觸之形狀,則並不限定於三角形。 其次,針對抑制滑動器308之不穩之構造加以說明。 首先,針對滑動器308的背面之不穩,在導體3〇9固定板 狀之背面制動器321,使其抑制在滑動器3〇8之剖面看之二 等邊三角形之底邊的兩邊。所謂板狀之制動H321與在_ 器308之剖面看之二等邊三角形之底邊的兩端,較佳的是設 置用以抑制滑動器308的移動時之阻力之間隙作非接觸。做 為該㈣’依必要之精度’通常若為〇. j _〜〇2 _之間隙 即可。藉作成如此之構成,機械的動作之安定性提升。 其次’為了抑制達到滑動器308的最下面時之不穩,保持 在A方向之位置精度,將板狀之下面制動器功固定於導體 3〇9的下面。此時,滑動器3〇8到達最下面時,滑動器則 95976.doc -19- 200528753 接觸於使阻力不作動 成,、… 乍動於下面止動器323。藉作成如此之構 成’月動為之決定原點變容易, * 從而,衝程安定,可以 女…、定位置精度’ ^ ν 雀的决疋固定於滑動器308之稜鏡 ::應速::升—時之光量的振動,光轉換 讲另卜、μ制動$321與下面制動器323,藉鐘層固體潤 :’可以抑制摩耗提料久性。料固制滑材者有鑛氣 硫化鋇、及鍍金等之軟質鍍金屬材料等。 I作為則述制動器321與下面制動器323者,藉作為板彈 黃’吸收滑動器308驅動時之振動與不穩和噪音,進一步可 以使機械的動作更安定。 針對本案之構件移動手段,以促動器作成驅動滑動器之 構成知照移動導引手段雖顯示移動光變化構件之例,不 過並不限定於此等。 [產業上利用的可能性] 可以控制朝制度好的一方向之構件的移動。特別是可以 適用於光元件用引導機構。 【圖式簡單說明】 圖1A、1B為本發明之實施例之要部立體圖。 圖2為本發明之實施例之剖面圖。 圖3 A、3 B為本發明之實施例之導引部之上面圖。 圖4A〜4E為本發明之其他實施例之導引部之上面圖(要 部)0 圖5為本發明之其他驅動機構及其他驅動力傳達機構之 95976.doc -20- 200528753 例。 圖6為其他連桿機構之例。 圖7為顯示習知例之立體圖。 圖8為顯示習知例的問題之圖。 圖9為本發明之引導機構之第2實施例之上面圖。 圖1 〇為本發明之引導機構之第2實施例之側面圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 1 射入側光纖光軸儀 2、3 射出側光纖光軸儀 100 -

From the above, it is understood that between the two planes that are not parallel in principle By the force of the component facing one plane and the force of a component orthogonal to the other plane, the slider 丧失 loses its freedom of movement beyond the sliding direction disclosed in FIG. I. When the two planes are approximately orthogonal, the restraint of the slider 108 is more effective. Therefore, the suppression of the high-precision angle change of the realm of the conventional problem is the guidance structure of the two planes, and the direction of the apex of the two planes is referred to as the simple structure of guidance in the two planes. When the 108 is moved, the angle change in all directions can obtain less guiding structure. In addition, if the present invention is reviewed from the point of view of design and manufacturing, only the angular characteristics formed by the two planes of the guide plane and the two planes of the slider 108 are greatly affected. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the two planes of the guide If the length is longer than the two planes of the slider, the dimensional accuracy will be moderate and less severe. Further, when assembling the guide and the slider, since the side of the two plane connection of the guide and the opposite side of 95976.doc 13 200528753 are largely open, it is easier to insert the assembling slider. Even if the slider is mounted on the conductor to some degree of bending, it can be stably stored in the correct position by applying a force to the direction of the two-plane connection side '. In addition to the force of pressure on the two guide surfaces, in addition to the leaf spring, the use of coil springs, rubber and other components and air magic, You Qing, etc., or the weight of the slider itself and the fixed auspicious stone. The gravity of sliders can also bring the same effect. The material of the inlet conductor 12 1 is a ferromagnetic body, and the slider 123 itself or a fixed magnet is attached to the slider 123. Between the magnet and the magnet, a magnetic attractive force is actuated, and pressure can be applied to the conductor surface. This will be described in detail using FIGS. 4A to 4E. The arrangement of the conductor 121 and the slider 123 is shown. Materials containing a large amount of carbon called hardened steel or steel are suitable for making precision structural bodies with stronger strength. If the steel material is close to the magnet, it will be magnetized to generate a magnetic attractive force. As shown in FIG. The magnetic force is magnetized to generate a magnetic attractive force, and the slider 123 is pushed to the conductor surface. The magnitude of the magnetic force varies depending on the size, arrangement, and material of the magnet, and the pushing force can be made as desired. In FIG. 4B, until the magnet 127 is expanded to the side of the conductor 125, the pushing force can be increased. In addition, the magnetic field balance is also improved, and the stability is improved. Fig. 4C shows an example in which the magnet 13o is fixed to the conductor 28 of the slider ι29. In this example, the distance between the conductor 128 attracted by the magnet 128 and the magnet 130 is narrow, and the pushing force 95976.doc 14 200528753 increases. In FIG. 4D, the conductor 131 and the slider 132 are non-magnetic bodies. By the magnetic attractive force acting between the magnet 135 fixed to the conductor 131 and the magnet 134 fixed to the slider 132, the slider 132 is pushed to the conductor 13 1 . In FIG. 4E, the conductor 141 and the slider 142 are non-magnetic, and a magnet 143 fixed to the slider 142 and an external stationary magnet 144 are arranged, and are pushed to the conductor by a magnetic reaction force acting between the magnets 143 and 144. i4i. In this embodiment, as a structure that often provides a force reduction, a right-angle prism is used to provide a pushing force only when it is disposed at the position shown in FIG. 1B, and the friction during driving of the actuator can be further reduced. For example, a method in which an electromagnet is used instead of, for example, the electromagnetic W43 and 144, and an electric current flows when the slider 142 is located at the position shown in FIG. Next, a case where a lubricant such as oil is inserted between the conductor and the slider will be described. In the sliding bearing mechanism, the friction force is expected to be small from the viewpoint of energy saving of the motive power source. Here, friction is used. The stable operating device and the lubricating material such as the oil inserted between the conductor and the slider by the movement of the slider can be low. In addition, I resin, — # 彳 一 & molybdenum, diamond homogeneous carbon, etc. The solid lubricating material is applied to the conductor or the slider to replace the liquid lubricating material such as oil, which can reduce the friction. In addition, by providing grooves on the conductor surface, the contact area of the pile W ^ is reduced, and the effect of reducing friction is further produced. Secondly, an example of the ability of the sliding cymbal to be formed of glass and having the function of a right-angle compound mirror is explained. The surface where the slider is connected to the conductor forms an angle of 90 degrees, and the height of the right angle 稜鏡 is high. At the exit surface of the right angle 稜鏡, a plate spring is used to push the area that does not block the light beam to the conductor surface. The light beam is reflected on the oblique surface of the right-angle 稜鏡, but the aforementioned oblique surface of the right-angle 稜鏡 is used as a surface connected to the guide, and the high-position accuracy and high angular accuracy of the right-angle 稜鏡 are maintained by 2-plane guidance. The mechanical device that produces the effects of maintaining the higher position accuracy and higher angle accuracy of the right angle 稜鏡 through the two-plane guidance is the same as that described in detail in the first embodiment. Also, although the above description has been described as an example of a suitable optical switch, the guide mechanism of the optical sub-gate and the shutter of the variable optical attenuator that arbitrarily adjusts the amount of light can be arbitrarily selected according to the field. The guide mechanism of the present invention can also be applied to a guide mechanism for moving a filter, such as a wavelength selection filter module of an optical device. Next, an example in which the actuator is arranged on the side of the slider will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the actuator 202 which is located in the moving direction of the slider 108 is disposed on the side of the slider ι08, and the driving force of the actuator 203 is transmitted through the link mechanisms 201 and 202. Go to the slider 108. The front-end ends of the link mechanisms 201 and 202 have triangular claws, and are arranged to sandwich the control lever 204 of the actuator 203 in the moving direction. As the actuator 203, a solenoid or the like can be used. The control lever 204 is moved to the direction of the arrow symbol 205 by the electromagnetic force, and the link mechanisms 201 and 202 are pressed to the control lever 204 and moved to the direction of the arrow symbol 205, and the fixed link mechanism 20 and The slider 108 of 202 moves to the direction of the arrow symbol 205. Although the front ends of the link mechanisms 201 and 202 are triangular in FIG. 5, they may be cylindrical or spherical. With the smaller area of connection with the control lever 204, the evenly-stemmed branch 1 stably actuates the rotating module generated when the driving force of the device 203 is transmitted toward the slider 108 by 95976.doc -16-200528753. That is, if the point of transmission of the center of gravity of the slider 108 and the force of the driving force are different, the rotating H 1G8 rotating module is actuated. As shown in FIG. 5, the actuator is arranged on the side of the slider, The lever mechanism 201 can reduce the height occupied by the actuators 203 and the link mechanism 200 by constructing a structure that transmits driving force, and can realize a light switch with a relatively low height. If the height of optical components such as optical switches is low, the total height of the electronic circuit substrates incorporated in the optical components can be lower, and the result is related to the miniaturization of the device. Further, as shown in Fig. 5, by using a triangular link mechanism, the rotation module is often constant, the angle of the optical switch is stabilized, and the insertion loss is stabilized. Next, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the link mechanism is constituted by one member. The connecting rod 21 with no opening is fixed to the side of the slider 108 and the tube. The control lever 204 of the actuator 203 is inserted into the opening portion of the link 21. The control lever 204 of the actuator 203 moves in the direction of the arrow symbol 211. The movement of the control lever 204 of the actuator 20 is transmitted to the slider 108 through the link 21, and moves to the direction of the arrow symbol 211. As described above, the advantages of reducing the height of the optical switch and the fixed rotation module of the slider, plus the advantages of the insertion loss of the stable optical switch, can be easily assembled and fixed to the slider 108 by using the link mechanism as a component. . In addition, the light conversion element used in this device can control not only the optical path but also the physical quantities of light in the light and polarized light. In the description of the embodiment, although the optical fiber optical axis meter formed of the optical axis meter and the optical fiber has been used to describe the means for entering light into the slave and the means for emitting light, it is not limited to these. You can also use 95976.doc -17- 200528753 to use various light-emitting elements, light-receiving elements, and light guides to form light-injection means and light-exit means. The 'light changing member' is not limited to the right angle of light, and other optical elements such as mirrors, shutters, and wavelength filters can be used to change the characteristics and path of light. When the right angle 稜鏡 is used, the inclined plane of the right angle 稜鏡 can be used as a surface to be connected to the moving guide member by the two-plane guide. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for the present invention. Next, a second embodiment of a guide mechanism for a light switch of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 9 and 10. First, the main structure of the guide mechanism 301 will be described. The guide mechanism 3 (H is fixed in FIG. 10, and the slider 308 for driving in the direction of the arrow symbol A is fixedly provided with a link 31 with an opening on the side. Here, the slider 308 and the link 310 Even if it is another component, if it is integrally formed by wire processing or modular processing such as MIM, the joint between the slider 308 and the connecting rod 31 will disappear, durability will be improved, and assembly costs can be further reduced. The control lever 304 of the actuator 303 is inserted into the opening of the link 310. By moving the control lever 304 of the actuator 303 to the direction of the arrow symbol a, the slider 308 is driven in the direction of the arrow symbol A. Toward the arrow symbol a The slider 3008 is moved, and the cross-sectional shape of the slider 3208 is the second equilateral triangle. The second equilateral triangle formed on the conductor 309 and the apex angle are sandwiched between the two sides of the groove 311 of the same type. By adhesion, the movement of the slider 308 can be restricted to the direction of the arrow symbol A. A triangle groove 313 is formed at the top corner of the slider 308 and the groove 311 in the direction opposite to the equilateral triangle. In the triangle groove The bottom edge of 313 is formed to insert the guide magnet 3 17 groove. The guide magnet 317 is fixed at 95976.doc -18- 200528753 This groove. The slider magnet is fixed to the top corner of the slider dove equilateral triangle. 3] 5 'Yanhai slider magnet 315 is protruding In the aforementioned groove 313. At the slider magnet 315 and the guide magnet 317 fixed to the sliding benefit 308, the gravitational forces act on each other, and the slider is adhered to the groove 311 by this gravity, and is limited to the private movement of the arrow symbol 8 in the direction of the sliding 4313. When the driver 308 is driven, the adhesion between the slider 308 and the groove 3U becomes worse. 'For example, when the slider 308 rotates around the eight-axis axis', the sliding magnet 315 forms a triangular shape so that it does not contact the conductor 309. By making such a non-contact structure, the accuracy of the control position is deteriorated, which can further prevent the final damage and improve the durability. Although the shape of the contact surface between the slider 308 and the groove 311 is made into an equilateral triangle that is easy to process, If it is a shape that can restrict the moving direction of the slider, it is not limited to this. In addition, even for the shape of the groove 313, the slider magnetization is not limited to the shape Triangle. Next, the structure that suppresses the instability of the slider 308 will be described. First, with regard to the instability of the rear surface of the slider 308, a plate-shaped rear stopper 321 is fixed to the conductor 309 so as to suppress the slider 308. The two sides of the bottom of the two equilateral triangles seen in the cross section of 8. The two ends of the so-called plate-shaped brake H321 and the bottom of the two equilateral triangles seen in the cross section of _308 are preferably set to suppress sliding The gap of resistance during the movement of the device 308 is made non-contact. Generally, it is only necessary to set the gap of "j ~~ 2 @ 2" as the gap. By using such a structure, the stability of the mechanical operation is stable. Sexual improvement. Secondly, in order to suppress the instability when reaching the bottom of the slider 308 and maintain the positional accuracy in the A direction, the plate-like bottom stopper is fixed below the conductor 309. At this time, when the slider 30 reaches the bottom, the slider 95976.doc -19- 200528753 comes into contact with the resistance so that it does not actuate. By constructing such a structure, "the origin of the moon movement becomes easier to determine. * Therefore, the stroke is stable, and the position accuracy can be determined." ^ Ν The bird's decision is fixed to the slider 308 :: 应 速 :: Vibration of the amount of light in time, the light conversion is different, μ brake $ 321 and the lower brake 323, by the solid layer of the clock layer: 'can suppress wear and longevity. Materials for solid sliding materials include mineral gas barium sulfide and soft metal-plated materials such as gold plating. As the brake 321 and the lower brake 323, the plate brake yellow 'absorbs vibration, instability, and noise when the slider 308 is driven, and can further stabilize the operation of the machine. With regard to the means for moving the member in this case, the structure of the known photo movement guide means in which an actuator is used to drive the slider shows an example of a moving light changing member, but it is not limited to these. [Possibility of industrial use] It is possible to control the movement of components in the direction of good system. In particular, it can be applied to a guide mechanism for an optical element.
