Description

光調節装置及び光調節装置を搭載する光学機器Light adjusting device and optical apparatus equipped with light adjusting device
 本発明は、光路を透過する光束に作用する光調節素子を光路上に挿脱する光調節装置及び光調節装置を搭載する光学機器に関する。 The present invention relates to a light adjusting device that inserts and removes a light adjusting element that acts on a light beam transmitted through an optical path on the optical path, and an optical device that includes the light adjusting device.
 一般に、絞りやフィルタ等として知られる光調節素子は、光学機器の光路上に配置されて、通過する光束に対し、それぞれに目的に合った作用を及ぼしている。光学機器によっては光調節素子を光路上に固定されている形態だけではなく、光路上から退避させる形態も必要とされる場合には、光調節素子と移動機構を組み合わせた光調節装置として搭載している。 Generally, a light adjusting element known as a diaphragm or a filter is disposed on the optical path of an optical device, and exerts an action suitable for each purpose on a passing light beam. Depending on the optical equipment, not only a configuration in which the light adjusting element is fixed on the optical path but also a form in which the light adjusting element is retracted from the optical path is required. ing.
 光学機器として、例えば、医療用又は工業用に用いられる内視鏡の挿入部に光調節装置に搭載する場合には、小型化が要求される。光学機器に搭載される光調節装置の一例として、特許文献1には、小型化された光調節装置が開示されている。 As an optical device, for example, when it is mounted on a light adjusting device in an insertion portion of an endoscope used for medical or industrial purposes, downsizing is required. As an example of a light adjusting device mounted on an optical apparatus, Patent Document 1 discloses a downsized light adjusting device.
特開平9-22042号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-22042
 光調節装置の小型化には、採用した構造によって、光軸方向(厚み方向)及び/又は光軸と交差する径方向(平面方向)に対して、それぞれ小型化することが可能である。搭載対象が内視鏡の挿入部のように、操作部から光軸に沿って延出する長尺な形状であれば、光軸方向に小型化を図るよりは、径方向に小型化所謂、細径化を図る方がより強く要望されている。 The light adjusting device can be reduced in size in the optical axis direction (thickness direction) and / or in the radial direction (plane direction) intersecting the optical axis, depending on the structure employed. If the mounting target is a long shape extending along the optical axis from the operation unit, such as an insertion portion of an endoscope, the so-called so-called downsizing in the radial direction rather than downsizing in the optical axis direction There is a strong demand for reducing the diameter.
 前述した特許文献1では、撮影レンズの周囲を取り囲むように環状ヨークを配置し、その環状ヨークに巻き付けたコイルにより発生させた電磁力をシャッタ駆動源として用いる電磁駆動装置が提案されている。この電磁駆動装置は、撮影レンズを取り囲むように、シャッタ駆動源を配置したことを技術的特徴としている。このような構成は、厚み方向に対して小型化を実現できるが、撮影レンズの外周側にヨークとコイルを配置するスペースを確保する必要が有るため、径方向に対して小型化を実現するには、撮影レンズの径に影響を与えるなど制約が多くなり不向きである。 In the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, an electromagnetic drive device is proposed in which an annular yoke is arranged so as to surround the photographing lens, and an electromagnetic force generated by a coil wound around the annular yoke is used as a shutter drive source. This electromagnetic drive device has a technical feature in that a shutter drive source is disposed so as to surround the photographing lens. Such a configuration can achieve downsizing in the thickness direction, but it is necessary to secure a space for arranging the yoke and the coil on the outer peripheral side of the photographing lens. Is unsuitable due to many restrictions such as affecting the diameter of the taking lens.
 また、光調節装置が搭載される機器が例えば、内視鏡の挿入部先端で、その外径が数mm~1cm程度であった場合には、光調節装置は当然、それ以下の大きさとなる。即ち、きわめて小型であるため、容易な組み立工程であって、安定した動作が実現される構成が望まれている。 In addition, when the device on which the light adjustment device is mounted is, for example, the distal end of the insertion portion of the endoscope and the outer diameter is about several mm to 1 cm, the light adjustment device naturally has a size smaller than that. . That is, since it is extremely small, there is a demand for a configuration that is an easy assembly process and that can realize stable operation.

[First Embodiment]
The light adjusting device according to the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an exploded configuration diagram illustrating the light adjustment device according to the first embodiment, FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an external configuration of the light adjustment device viewed from obliquely above, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the light adjustment device. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a cross-sectional configuration of the oscillating portion of the light adjusting device, and FIG. 5 is a conceptual configuration of the oscillating portion of the light adjusting device viewed obliquely from above. FIG. In the following description of each embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the optical axis direction of the optical path is defined as the Z-axis direction, and the directions orthogonal to the Z-axis direction and orthogonal to each other are defined as the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction.
 本実施形態の光調節装置1は、駆動機構10及び、この駆動機構10の両側面に接合して立設され、後述する磁気回路を形成する電磁駆動源(電磁駆動部)13を有する。 
 駆動機構10は、平板の下側基板2上の後方にスペーサ4を介在させて、その上方に下側基板2と平行になるように上側基板(基板部又は、保持部材)3を載置して一体的に構成され、その上側基板3又は、揺動部5が回動可能に支持されている。この揺動部5は、円柱形状の磁石(回転軸部材)6と、透磁性を有し磁石6を収容する回転軸体7と、回転軸体7の底面に取り付けられる回動アーム部(羽根部)8と、で構成される。
The light adjusting device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a drive mechanism 10 and an electromagnetic drive source (electromagnetic drive unit) 13 that is erected on both side surfaces of the drive mechanism 10 and forms a magnetic circuit described later.
The driving mechanism 10 has a spacer 4 interposed behind the lower substrate 2 on the flat plate, and places the upper substrate (substrate portion or holding member) 3 above the spacer 4 in parallel with the lower substrate 2. The upper substrate 3 or the swinging portion 5 is rotatably supported. The oscillating portion 5 includes a columnar magnet (rotating shaft member) 6, a rotating shaft body 7 having permeability and accommodating the magnet 6, and a rotating arm portion (blade) attached to the bottom surface of the rotating shaft body 7. Part) 8.
 下側基板2及び上側基板3は、硬質材料を用いて同形の矩形形状の平板に形成される。本実施形態では、下側基板2と上側基板3は、同じ形状であるが、これは設計事項であり、搭載させる機器の設置スペースに合わせて、適宜、形状や大きさが変更される。 The lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 are formed into the same rectangular plate using a hard material. In the present embodiment, the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 have the same shape, but this is a design matter, and the shape and size are appropriately changed according to the installation space of the equipment to be mounted.
 また、上側基板3には、軸支用孔3bが開口され、揺動部5の回転軸体7が回動可能に嵌合されている。回転軸体7は、平板の上側基板3に対して垂直に立設され、回転の中心軸がZ軸方向となっている。ここでは、回転軸体7(磁石6)の中心軸が揺動部5の回動中心軸Z1と一致している。以下、駆動機構10の回動アーム部8が張り出した側を正面とし、その正面の両側を側面と称する。 Further, the upper substrate 3 is provided with a shaft support hole 3b, and a rotating shaft body 7 of the swinging portion 5 is fitted in a rotatable manner. The rotating shaft body 7 is erected vertically with respect to the flat upper substrate 3, and the center axis of rotation is the Z-axis direction. Here, the central axis of the rotating shaft body 7 (magnet 6) coincides with the rotational central axis Z1 of the swinging portion 5. Hereinafter, the side where the rotating arm portion 8 of the drive mechanism 10 protrudes is referred to as a front surface, and both sides of the front surface are referred to as side surfaces.
 揺動部5の回転軸体7は、中空な円筒形状を成し、内部には磁石(回転軸部材)6が嵌装されている。磁石6は、フェライト、ネオジム、サマリウムコバルト等の硬質磁性材料を用いて、回転軸体7の内部形状に合うように外形形状が形成され、ここでは円柱形状に形成されている。この磁石6は、円柱形状の中心軸を通る平面で2分されて、一方の半円柱形状にN極が帯磁され、他方の半円柱形状にS極が帯磁されている。この例では、回転軸体7の底部が開放する筒形状であるため、磁石6の底面と回転軸体7の下部端(または、回動アーム8の裏面)とが同一面上となっている。尚、回転軸体7を有底のキャップ形状に形成してもよく、この場合には、磁石6は底上面に当接して固定されている。 The rotating shaft body 7 of the swinging part 5 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and a magnet (rotating shaft member) 6 is fitted therein. The magnet 6 is made of a hard magnetic material such as ferrite, neodymium, samarium cobalt or the like, and has an outer shape that matches the inner shape of the rotary shaft 7, and is formed in a cylindrical shape here. The magnet 6 is bisected by a plane passing through a cylindrical central axis, and an N pole is magnetized in one semi-cylindrical shape and an S pole is magnetized in the other semi-cylindrical shape. In this example, since the bottom of the rotating shaft body 7 has a cylindrical shape that opens, the bottom surface of the magnet 6 and the lower end of the rotating shaft body 7 (or the back surface of the rotating arm 8) are on the same plane. . The rotary shaft 7 may be formed in a cap shape with a bottom. In this case, the magnet 6 is fixed in contact with the upper surface of the bottom.
 回転軸体7は、共に、金属材料で形成される軸体7a及び上部フランジ部7b(被保持部材)とで構成される。図4に示すように、軸体7aは、外周面の下方に下部フランジ部7cが一体的に形成される。また、外周面の途中に段差7dが設けられ、その上方部分は細径化されている。この細径化された上方部分に、個別に作製された上部フランジ部7bが段差7dまで嵌め込まれて、接着剤等を用いて固定される。上部フランジ部7bと下部フランジ部7cとの離間距離Lは、上側基板3の厚みに、回動を可能にする隙間を加えた距離に設定される。これらの上部フランジ部7bと下部フランジ部7cは、軸体7aにおけるガイド部として機能し、フランジ間で上側基板3に宛がわれる溝を形成している。なお、離間距離Lは各部材の寸法や組み立て方を調整することによって設定してもよい。 The rotating shaft body 7 is composed of a shaft body 7a and an upper flange portion 7b (held member) both made of a metal material. As shown in FIG. 4, the shaft body 7 a is integrally formed with a lower flange portion 7 c below the outer peripheral surface. Further, a step 7d is provided in the middle of the outer peripheral surface, and the upper portion thereof has a reduced diameter. The individually produced upper flange portion 7b is fitted to the step 7d in the thinned upper portion, and is fixed using an adhesive or the like. The separation distance L between the upper flange portion 7b and the lower flange portion 7c is set to a distance obtained by adding a gap enabling rotation to the thickness of the upper substrate 3. The upper flange portion 7b and the lower flange portion 7c function as a guide portion in the shaft body 7a, and form a groove addressed to the upper substrate 3 between the flanges. In addition, you may set the separation distance L by adjusting the dimension and assembly method of each member.
 回転軸体7の下面には、回動アーム部8の一端が接着されている。この接着方法として、例えば、接着剤、溶着又は半田等を適用することができる。尚、回動アーム部8を金属材料で形成して、磁石6の強力な磁力により吸着させることで、接着力が弱まったとしても回転軸体7から脱離することを防止できる。 One end of the rotating arm portion 8 is bonded to the lower surface of the rotating shaft body 7. As this bonding method, for example, an adhesive, welding, solder, or the like can be applied. In addition, even if the adhesive force is weakened, it is possible to prevent the rotating arm portion 8 from being detached from the rotating shaft body 7 by forming the rotating arm portion 8 from a metal material and attracting it with the strong magnetic force of the magnet 6.
 回動アーム部8の他端には、光調節部(光調節素子)9が嵌着される孔8aが形成されている。光調節部9は、絞り、シャッタ、レンズ、遮光板又はフィルタ等であり、孔8a内に固定されてもよいし、着脱可能に取り付けられる構成であってもよい。本実施形態の回動アーム部8は、光軸方向と直交する方向M(X軸-Y軸方向)に回動する。 
 下側基板2上の後方には、U字形状のスペーサ4が固定されている。図3に示すように、スペーサ4は、下側基板2と上側基板3との間隔を規定し、少なくとも回動アーム部8が下側基板2に接触しない高さに設定されている。
At the other end of the rotating arm portion 8, a hole 8a into which the light adjusting portion (light adjusting element) 9 is fitted is formed. The light adjusting unit 9 is an aperture, a shutter, a lens, a light shielding plate, a filter, or the like, and may be fixed in the hole 8a or may be configured to be detachably attached. The rotating arm unit 8 of the present embodiment rotates in a direction M (X axis-Y axis direction) orthogonal to the optical axis direction.
A U-shaped spacer 4 is fixed to the rear of the lower substrate 2. As shown in FIG. 3, the spacer 4 defines a distance between the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 and is set to a height at least so that the rotating arm portion 8 does not contact the lower substrate 2.
 図5に示すように、スペーサ4のU字形状の張り出した両側の端部は、回動アーム部8の当てつけにより、回動アーム部8の回動範囲(回動角度)M又は停止位置を規定するストッパ4a,4bとして機能する。即ち、本実施形態では、回動アーム部8が、ストッパ4aに当てつけられている位置を第1の停止位置とし、ストッパ4bに当てつけられている位置を第2の停止位置とする。 As shown in FIG. 5, the ends of the U-shaped protruding both sides of the spacer 4 have a rotation range (rotation angle) M or a stop position of the rotation arm portion 8 by the contact of the rotation arm portion 8. It functions as the stoppers 4a and 4b to be defined. That is, in the present embodiment, the position at which the turning arm portion 8 is applied to the stopper 4a is set as a first stop position, and the position applied to the stopper 4b is set as a second stop position.
 回動アーム部8の孔8aの停止位置により、光調節装置1により光調節される2つの光路(光軸)の位置が規定される。即ち、本実施形態では、回動アーム部8に対する位置センサと回動位置制御を行う構成を有していない構造であるため、光調節される光束の光路は、回動アーム部8が第1の位置又は第2の位置に停止している時に、孔8aを通過する位置となる。ここでは、回動アーム部8が、第1の位置に停止している時に、孔8aを通過する光路を第1の光路とし、第2の位置に停止している時に、孔8aを通過する光路を第2の光路とする。 The position of the two optical paths (optical axes) that are light-adjusted by the light adjusting device 1 is defined by the stop position of the hole 8a of the rotating arm portion 8. In other words, in the present embodiment, the position sensor for the rotation arm unit 8 and the structure for performing the rotation position control are not provided, and therefore the optical path of the light beam to be optically adjusted is the first of the rotation arm unit 8. It becomes a position which passes the hole 8a when it has stopped at the position or the second position. Here, the optical path passing through the hole 8a is the first optical path when the rotating arm unit 8 is stopped at the first position, and passes through the hole 8a when stopped at the second position. Let the optical path be the second optical path.
 ここで、図6A乃至6Cを参照して、光調節装置における上側基板3への回転軸体7の組み付けについて説明する。 
 まず、図6Aに示すように、回転軸体7は、上部フランジ部7bを外した状態で、上側基板3の軸支用孔3bに上方部分から嵌め入れて、下部フランジ部7cに当接させる。次に、図6Bに示すように、上部フランジ部7bを上方部分から嵌め入れて、段差7dに当接させる。この状態の時、前述したように、回転軸体7は、上側基板3に対して、回転可能な距離Lに設定されている。この時、軸支用孔3bに潤滑剤等を塗布して回転軸体7の回動に伴う摩擦を軽減する処置を施してもよい。
Here, with reference to FIG. 6A thru | or 6C, the assembly | attachment of the rotating shaft body 7 to the upper board | substrate 3 in a light adjusting device is demonstrated.
First, as shown in FIG. 6A, the rotating shaft body 7 is fitted into the shaft support hole 3b of the upper substrate 3 from the upper portion with the upper flange portion 7b removed, and is brought into contact with the lower flange portion 7c. . Next, as shown in FIG. 6B, the upper flange portion 7b is fitted from the upper portion and brought into contact with the step 7d. In this state, as described above, the rotary shaft body 7 is set to a rotatable distance L with respect to the upper substrate 3. At this time, a lubricant or the like may be applied to the shaft support hole 3b so as to reduce the friction caused by the rotation of the rotating shaft body 7.
 その後、図6A,6Bに示すように、上部フランジ部7bは、回転軸体7の段差7dに当接した状態で回転軸体7の外周面に接着剤等で固定される。尚、回転軸体7は、必ずしも段差7dを形成する必要はなく、平坦な円周面を有する円筒形状であってもよい。回転軸体7と上部フランジ部7bとが接着剤により固定される場合には、図6Aに示す組み立て時に、軸体7aに上側基板3を嵌めた後、例えば、接着剤に接しないように、軸体7aに接触しないU型形状の調整用スペーサ(図示せず)を上側基板3と上部フランジ部7bとの間に挟み込むように配置して保持し、接着材が硬化したのち、その調整用スペーサを抜き取ってもよい。 Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the upper flange portion 7b is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft body 7 with an adhesive or the like in contact with the step 7d of the rotating shaft body 7. In addition, the rotating shaft body 7 does not necessarily need to form the level | step difference 7d, The cylindrical shape which has a flat circumferential surface may be sufficient. When the rotating shaft body 7 and the upper flange portion 7b are fixed by an adhesive, after assembling the upper substrate 3 to the shaft body 7a during assembly shown in FIG. 6A, for example, so as not to contact the adhesive, A U-shaped adjustment spacer (not shown) that is not in contact with the shaft body 7a is disposed and held so as to be sandwiched between the upper substrate 3 and the upper flange portion 7b, and the adhesive is cured and then used for adjustment. The spacer may be extracted.
 本実施形態の電磁駆動源13は、U字形状を成し、開口する両端が駆動機構10の両側面に掛かるように接合され立設されている。この接合の一つの方法として、互いの接合面に接着等を塗布し接着する。電磁駆動源13は、鉄等の導電体材料や透磁性(軟質磁性)材料を用いてU字形状に形成された透磁性部材所謂、ヨーク11に、コイル14が巻き付けられた構成である。 The electromagnetic drive source 13 of the present embodiment has a U shape, and is joined and erected so that both open ends are applied to both side surfaces of the drive mechanism 10. As one method of this bonding, adhesion or the like is applied to the bonding surfaces of each other and bonded. The electromagnetic drive source 13 has a configuration in which a coil 14 is wound around a so-called yoke 11 formed in a U shape using a conductive material such as iron or a magnetically permeable (soft magnetic) material.
 コイル14は、図2に示すヨーク11のU字形状の底部中央で、上側基板3の上面と対向する位置に巻回されるように設けられている。但し、コイル14は、ヨーク11上に設けられて磁束を発生させればよいため、その配置箇所は、上側基板3の上面との対向位置に限定されるものではない。 The coil 14 is provided so as to be wound at a position facing the upper surface of the upper substrate 3 at the center of the bottom of the U-shape of the yoke 11 shown in FIG. However, since the coil 14 may be provided on the yoke 11 to generate a magnetic flux, the location of the coil 14 is not limited to the position facing the upper surface of the upper substrate 3.
 電磁駆動源13は、ヨーク11の開口する両側の端部11a,11bが、上側基板3の上面と直交する方向(Z軸方向)で、駆動機構10の側面に係合して接着される。端部11aと端部11bの空隙は磁束が通過する、所謂ギャップである。この時、ヨーク11による磁界形成領域(ギャップ)13a内に、回転軸体7が取り込まれた形態となっている。 The electromagnetic drive source 13 is bonded to the side surfaces of the drive mechanism 10 in such a manner that the end portions 11a and 11b on both sides of the yoke 11 open are perpendicular to the upper surface of the upper substrate 3 (Z-axis direction). The gap between the end 11a and the end 11b is a so-called gap through which magnetic flux passes. At this time, the rotary shaft body 7 is taken into the magnetic field forming region (gap) 13 a by the yoke 11.
 本実施形態では、上側基板3の上面(X-Y平面)を基準として、直交する方向(Z軸方向)に電磁駆動源13は立設している。しかし、これに限定されるものではなく、X-Y平面を0°として、0°<θ<180°までの角度範囲内であればよい。但し、径方向の小型化として効果を得るためには、揺動部5が回動した際に、その外先端が描く円弧の外周ラインから電磁駆動源13の頂部がはみ出さない範囲内であり、且つ電磁駆動源13が光調節する光路に入り込まない角度となる。その際に、ヨーク11が光路へ侵入している場合に、そのヨーク11部分の変形が可能であれば、U字形状を変形させてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic drive source 13 is erected in the orthogonal direction (Z-axis direction) with the upper surface (XY plane) of the upper substrate 3 as a reference. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be within an angle range of 0 ° <θ <180 °, where the XY plane is 0 °. However, in order to obtain an effect as a radial downsizing, the top of the electromagnetic drive source 13 does not protrude from the outer peripheral line of the circular arc drawn by the outer tip when the swinging part 5 rotates. The angle is such that the electromagnetic drive source 13 does not enter the optical path for light adjustment. At that time, when the yoke 11 enters the optical path, the U-shape may be deformed if the yoke 11 can be deformed.
 図7は、電磁駆動源13のコイル14に駆動電力を供給する駆動電源部の構成を示している。 
 この電磁駆動源13は、コイル14の両端と接続する切換スイッチ31と、切換スイッチ31に直流電力を供給する直流電源32と、で構成される。切換スイッチ31は、直流電源32から供給される直流電力の極性(正負)を適宜、切り換えてコイル14に印加する。尚、切換スイッチ31の直流電力の切り換え動作は、搭載した機器の操作部から指示に従って実行される。
FIG. 7 shows a configuration of a drive power supply unit that supplies drive power to the coil 14 of the electromagnetic drive source 13.
The electromagnetic drive source 13 includes a changeover switch 31 connected to both ends of the coil 14, and a DC power supply 32 that supplies DC power to the changeover switch 31. The changeover switch 31 switches the polarity (positive / negative) of DC power supplied from the DC power supply 32 as appropriate and applies it to the coil 14. The DC power switching operation of the selector switch 31 is executed according to an instruction from the operation unit of the mounted device.
 コイル14は、直流電力が加えられた際に、電磁石として機能し、ヨーク11に磁束Hを与える。U字形状を成すヨーク11は、内部に磁束Hを通過させて、端部11a,11b間の磁界形成領域13aに磁界を形成し、その磁界を硬質磁性体からなる磁石6に作用させて、吸引力又は反発力を発生させる。即ち、磁界の極性と磁石6の極性(N極、S極)が同じ場合には、反発力が発生し、回転軸体7を反対側に半回転させる。また、磁界の極性と磁石6の極性の異なる場合には、吸引力が発生し、回転軸体7は回動せず、その状態を維持する。 The coil 14 functions as an electromagnet when DC power is applied, and applies a magnetic flux H to the yoke 11. The yoke 11 having a U-shape allows the magnetic flux H to pass therethrough, forms a magnetic field in the magnetic field forming region 13a between the end portions 11a and 11b, and causes the magnetic field to act on the magnet 6 made of a hard magnetic material. Generate suction or repulsion. That is, when the polarity of the magnetic field and the polarity of the magnet 6 (N pole, S pole) are the same, a repulsive force is generated, causing the rotary shaft 7 to rotate halfway to the opposite side. Further, when the polarity of the magnetic field and the polarity of the magnet 6 are different, an attractive force is generated, and the rotating shaft 7 does not rotate and maintains that state.
 この回転軸体7の回動は、回動アーム部8を回動させて、前述したストッパ4a,4bの何れかに回動アーム部8を当てつけて停止した状態となる。この構成において、2極の磁石6を使用する場合には、回動アーム部8の回動範囲(回転角度)は、180度以下に設定される。このような回動アーム部8の回動により、光調節が実施される第1の光路と第2の光路とが切り換えられる。 
 本実施形態の光調節装置によれば、電磁力を発生させて光調節部9を光路と交差する方向に移動させる電磁駆動源13を、その光路に沿った方向に立設することで、光路と交差する方向(径方向)の小型化を実現することができる。
The rotation of the rotating shaft 7 is brought into a stopped state by rotating the rotating arm portion 8 and applying the rotating arm portion 8 to any one of the stoppers 4a and 4b described above. In this configuration, when the dipole magnet 6 is used, the rotation range (rotation angle) of the rotation arm portion 8 is set to 180 degrees or less. By such rotation of the rotation arm unit 8, the first optical path and the second optical path where light adjustment is performed are switched.
According to the light adjusting device of the present embodiment, the electromagnetic drive source 13 that generates electromagnetic force and moves the light adjusting unit 9 in the direction intersecting the optical path is erected in the direction along the optical path, so that the optical path Downsizing in the direction (radial direction) that intersects with can be realized.
 さらに揺動部5の回転軸体7は、上部フランジ部7b,下部フランジ部7cにより上側基板3の上下から挟まれて回動可能に保持されているため、簡易な構造であり、回動時の摩擦が回転軸回りに集中しているため、駆動効率が高く、安定し回動動作が得られる。また、磁石6が回転軸体7内に収容され、且つ電磁駆動源13のヨーク11によりキャップ状に覆われているため、保護されており、耐久性に優れている。 Further, the rotating shaft body 7 of the swinging portion 5 is sandwiched from the upper and lower sides of the upper substrate 3 by the upper flange portion 7b and the lower flange portion 7c so as to be rotatable. Since the friction is concentrated around the rotation axis, the driving efficiency is high and a stable rotation operation can be obtained. Moreover, since the magnet 6 is accommodated in the rotating shaft body 7 and covered with a cap 11 by the yoke 11 of the electromagnetic drive source 13, it is protected and has excellent durability.
 本実施形態の光調節装置1は、光学機器の光路上に配置することができる。光路を伝送される光束としては、撮影光学系に結像された光像、照明光、可視光、赤外光又は紫外光等がある。光調節装置1を搭載する光学機器としては、少なくとも撮像装置(撮像光学系)、照明装置、顕微鏡、光学測定装置、光学的読み取り装置(バーコードリーダ等)等が挙げられる。 The light adjusting device 1 of the present embodiment can be disposed on the optical path of an optical device. Examples of the light beam transmitted through the optical path include a light image formed on the photographing optical system, illumination light, visible light, infrared light, and ultraviolet light. Examples of the optical apparatus on which the light adjusting device 1 is mounted include at least an imaging device (imaging optical system), an illumination device, a microscope, an optical measurement device, an optical reading device (such as a barcode reader) and the like.
 本実施形態の光調節装置1は、一例として、図8に示すように、管腔内又は管孔内の観察装置である内視鏡40の挿入部41に配置された撮像光学系に搭載することができる。撮像光学系により結像された光像を伝搬する光路上にが介在するように配置される。ここで、光調節部9は、絞り、シャッタ、レンズ、遮光板又はフィルタ等である。光調節部9は、回動アーム部8により、2つの光路間を切り換えるように回動移動される。尚、本実施形態の光調節装置1は、結像された光像の光路だけでなく、照明光の光路上に光調節部9を配置することも可能であり、例えば、シャッタであれば、照明光の照射と遮光との切換操作が可能となる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the light adjustment device 1 of the present embodiment is mounted on an imaging optical system disposed in an insertion portion 41 of an endoscope 40 that is an observation device in a lumen or a lumen. be able to. They are arranged so as to be interposed on the optical path for propagating the optical image formed by the imaging optical system. Here, the light adjusting unit 9 is an aperture, a shutter, a lens, a light shielding plate, a filter, or the like. The light adjusting unit 9 is rotated by the rotating arm unit 8 so as to switch between the two optical paths. The light adjusting device 1 of the present embodiment can arrange the light adjusting unit 9 not only on the optical path of the formed optical image but also on the optical path of the illumination light. For example, if it is a shutter, Switching operation between illumination light shielding and light shielding is possible.

 次に第2の実施形態に係る光調節装置について説明する。 
 図9は第2の実施形態に係る光調節装置の分解構成を示す斜視図、図10は、光調節装置の外観構成を示す斜視図である。本実施形態の説明において、前述した第1の実施形態と同等の構成部位には同じ参照符号を付して、詳細な説明は省略する。本実施形態の光調節装置は、前述した第1の実施形態の駆動機構における揺動部5の取り付け構造が異なっている。本実施形態では、回転軸体7を上側基板3へ取り付ける際に、枠体(脱落防止部材)51により回転軸体7を回動可能に保持する構成である。
[Second Embodiment]
Next, the light adjusting device according to the second embodiment will be described.
FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing an exploded configuration of the light adjusting device according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of the light adjusting device. In the description of this embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted. The light adjusting device of the present embodiment is different in the mounting structure of the swing part 5 in the drive mechanism of the first embodiment described above. In the present embodiment, when the rotary shaft 7 is attached to the upper substrate 3, the rotary shaft 7 is rotatably held by the frame body (drop-off preventing member) 51.
 本実施形態の駆動機構50において、共に平板からなる下側基板2及び上側基板3がスペーサ4を介在して平行に配置され一体的に構成されている。上側基板3には、正面に開口するようにU字型の切り欠き部3cが形成される。この切り欠き部3cは、図4に示した軸体7aが回転可能に嵌装される大きさを有している。 In the drive mechanism 50 of this embodiment, the lower substrate 2 and the upper substrate 3 that are both flat plates are arranged in parallel with the spacer 4 interposed therebetween, and are configured integrally. A U-shaped notch 3c is formed in the upper substrate 3 so as to open to the front. The notch 3c has a size that allows the shaft 7a shown in FIG. 4 to be rotatably fitted.
 回転軸体7は、金属材料で形成され、軸体7aに対して上部フランジ部7b及び下部フランジ部7cが製造時に一体的に形成されている。但し、本実施形態においては、第1の実施形態と同様に、軸体7aと上部フランジ部7bとが別体であっても実施する際に支障は無い。これ以外の構成においては、回転軸体7が中空な円筒形状を成し、内部には磁石6が嵌装されていることも含めて、第1の実施形態と同等である。 The rotating shaft body 7 is formed of a metal material, and an upper flange portion 7b and a lower flange portion 7c are integrally formed with the shaft body 7a at the time of manufacture. However, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, there is no problem when the shaft body 7a and the upper flange portion 7b are separated from each other. In the configuration other than this, the rotating shaft body 7 has a hollow cylindrical shape, and is equivalent to the first embodiment, including that the magnet 6 is fitted therein.
 枠体51は、硬質材料により平板に形成され、内部の開口51aが上部フランジ部7bの径よりも大きく、上側基板3上に露出している上部フランジ部7bを囲むように取り付けられて、脱落防止部材として機能する。 
 組み立て工程について説明する。回転軸体7は、上部フランジ部7b及び下部フランジ部7cが一体的に設けられた状態である。
The frame body 51 is formed in a flat plate of a hard material, and the inner opening 51a is larger than the diameter of the upper flange portion 7b and is attached so as to surround the upper flange portion 7b exposed on the upper substrate 3, and is dropped. It functions as a prevention member.
The assembly process will be described. The rotating shaft body 7 is in a state in which an upper flange portion 7b and a lower flange portion 7c are integrally provided.
 上側基板3を上部フランジ部7bと下部フランジ部7cの上下で挟むように、切り欠き部3cに回転軸体7の軸体7aを差し入れる。次に、枠体51の開口51aから露出する上部フランジ部7bに枠体51を回転軸体7に被せて上側基板3に接着固定する。図10に示すように、切り欠き部3cの開口部分を枠体51により塞ぐ構成となるため、 嵌装された回転軸体7は、上側基板3に回転可能で保持されている。 The shaft body 7a of the rotating shaft body 7 is inserted into the notch portion 3c so that the upper substrate 3 is sandwiched between the upper flange portion 7b and the lower flange portion 7c. Next, the frame body 51 is put on the rotary shaft body 7 on the upper flange portion 7 b exposed from the opening 51 a of the frame body 51, and is bonded and fixed to the upper substrate 3. As shown in FIG. 10, the opening portion of the notch 3 c is configured to be closed by the frame body 51, so that the fitted rotary shaft body 7 is rotatably held on the upper substrate 3.
 本実施形態においても前述した第1の実施形態と同等の効果を得ることができる。さらに、上部フランジ部7b及び下部フランジ部7cが製造時に一体的に設けられている回転軸体7を上側基板3に取り付ける組み立て工程となるため、上側基板3を挟んで上部フランジ部7bを軸体7aに接着固定する工程が無くなり、組み立て作業が簡易化される。 In this embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment described above can be obtained. Further, since the rotating shaft body 7 in which the upper flange portion 7b and the lower flange portion 7c are integrally provided at the time of manufacture is an assembly process, the upper flange portion 7b is sandwiched between the upper substrate 3 and the upper flange portion 7b. The process of bonding and fixing to 7a is eliminated, and the assembly work is simplified.
