Description

アクチュエータ、カメラ装置及び製造方法Actuator, camera device and manufacturing method
 本開示は、一般にアクチュエータ、カメラ装置及び製造方法に関し、より詳細には駆動対象を回転させるアクチュエータ、カメラ装置及び製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates generally to an actuator, a camera device, and a manufacturing method, and more particularly to an actuator, a camera device, and a manufacturing method for rotating a driving target.
 従来、駆動対象であるカメラを回転させるアクチュエータとしてのカメラ駆動装置がある(例えば、特許文献1)。 Conventionally, there is a camera driving device as an actuator for rotating a camera to be driven (for example, Patent Document 1).
 特許文献1のカメラ駆動装置は、カメラを搭載する可動ユニットと、可動ユニットをパンニング方向に傾斜させるパンニング駆動部と、可動ユニットをチルティング方向に傾斜させるチルティング駆動部とを有している。 The camera drive device of Patent Document 1 includes a movable unit on which a camera is mounted, a panning drive unit that tilts the movable unit in the panning direction, and a tilting drive unit that tilts the movable unit in the tilting direction.
 パンニング駆動部は、1対のパンニング駆動磁石と、パンニング駆動コイルが巻かれた1対のパンニング磁気ヨークとを含む。チルティング駆動部は、1対のチルティング駆動磁石と、チルティング駆動コイルが巻かれた1対のチルティング磁気ヨークとを含む。1対のパンニング駆動磁石にそれぞれ対向するように1対のパンニング磁気ヨークが設けられている。1対のチルティング駆動磁石にそれぞれ対向するように1対のチルティング磁気ヨークが設けられている。 The panning drive unit includes a pair of panning drive magnets and a pair of panning magnetic yokes around which a panning drive coil is wound. The tilting drive unit includes a pair of tilting drive magnets and a pair of tilting magnetic yokes around which a tilting drive coil is wound. A pair of panning magnetic yokes are provided so as to face the pair of panning drive magnets. A pair of tilting magnetic yokes are provided to face the pair of tilting drive magnets.
 特許文献1のカメラ駆動装置は、1対のパンニング磁気ヨークに巻かれたパンニング駆動コイル及び1対のチルティング磁気ヨークに巻かれたチルティング駆動コイルに通電することで、可動ユニットを回転させる。 The camera drive device of Patent Document 1 rotates a movable unit by energizing a panning drive coil wound around a pair of panning magnetic yokes and a tilting drive coil wound around a pair of tilting magnetic yokes.
 特許文献1のカメラ駆動装置では、例えばパンニング磁気ヨークとパンニング駆動磁石との間に発生する磁気が均一でない場合には、パンニング駆動コイル及びチルティング駆動コイルに対して通電していない場合(無通電時)において、可動ユニットがパンニング方向に傾く。この場合、パンニング駆動コイルに通電して、可動ユニットが傾いた側とは逆側に可動ユニットを回転させたときに可動ユニットの制振性能が低下する。同様に、チルティング磁気ヨークとチルティング駆動磁石との間に発生する磁気が均一でない場合においても、無通電時には可動ユニットがチルティング方向に傾く。その結果、チルティング駆動コイルに通電して、可動ユニットが傾いた側とは逆側に可動ユニットを回転させたときに可動ユニットの制振性能が低下する。 In the camera drive device of Patent Document 1, for example, when the magnetism generated between the panning magnetic yoke and the panning drive magnet is not uniform, the panning drive coil and the tilting drive coil are not energized (non-energized) The movable unit tilts in the panning direction. In this case, when the panning drive coil is energized and the movable unit is rotated to the side opposite to the side on which the movable unit is inclined, the vibration damping performance of the movable unit is degraded. Similarly, even when the magnetism generated between the tilting magnetic yoke and the tilting drive magnet is not uniform, the movable unit tilts in the tilting direction when no current is applied. As a result, when the tilting drive coil is energized and the movable unit is rotated to the side opposite to the side on which the movable unit is inclined, the damping performance of the movable unit is degraded.

 ボトムプレート640は、非磁性であり、例えば真鍮で形成されている。ボトムプレート640は、本体部601とで固定ユニット20の連結部50を挟み込むように設けられている。ボトムプレート640は、ねじで本体部601に固定される。ボトムプレート640は、カウンタウエイトとして機能する。ボトムプレート640をカウンタウエイトとして機能させることで、回転の中心点と、可動ユニット10の重心とを一致させることができる。そのため、可動ユニット10の全体に外力が加わった場合、可動ユニット10が軸1bを中心に回転するモーメント及び軸1cを中心に回転するモーメントは小さくなる。これにより、小さな駆動力で可動ユニット10(カメラモジュール3)を中立状態に維持したり、軸1b及び軸1cを中心に回転させたりすることができる。よって、カメラ装置1の消費電力が低減される。特に、可動ユニット10を中立状態に維持するために必要な駆動電流をほとんどゼロにすることも可能である。 The bottom plate 640 is non-magnetic and is made of, for example, brass. The bottom plate 640 is provided so as to sandwich the connecting portion 50 of the fixed unit 20 with the main body portion 601. The bottom plate 640 is fixed to the main body 601 with screws. The bottom plate 640 functions as a counterweight. By causing the bottom plate 640 to function as a counterweight, the center point of rotation and the center of gravity of the movable unit 10 can be matched. Therefore, when an external force is applied to the entire movable unit 10, the moment that the movable unit 10 rotates about the shaft 1b and the moment that the movable unit 10 rotates about the shaft 1c are reduced. Thereby, the movable unit 10 (camera module 3) can be maintained in a neutral state with a small driving force, or can be rotated around the shaft 1b and the shaft 1c. Therefore, the power consumption of the camera device 1 is reduced. In particular, the drive current required to maintain the movable unit 10 in a neutral state can be made almost zero.
 ボトムプレート640は、位置検出磁石650と、磁石カバー651とを有している。位置検出磁石650は、ボトムプレート640において、カメラモジュール3とは反対側の面の中央部位に設けられた凹部内に設けられている。磁石カバー651は、非磁性体であり、位置検出磁石650がボトムプレート640の凹部から脱落を防止するために設けられている。つまり、位置検出磁石650は、ボトムプレート640の凹部の底面と磁石カバー651との間に挟み込まれている。 The bottom plate 640 has a position detection magnet 650 and a magnet cover 651. The position detection magnet 650 is provided in a recess provided in a central portion of the surface of the bottom plate 640 opposite to the camera module 3. The magnet cover 651 is a non-magnetic material, and the position detection magnet 650 is provided in order to prevent the position detection magnet 650 from dropping from the recess of the bottom plate 640. That is, the position detection magnet 650 is sandwiched between the bottom surface of the recess of the bottom plate 640 and the magnet cover 651.
 また、ボトムプレート640のカメラモジュール3側の面には、曲面形状の凹部641が設けられている。 Further, a curved concave portion 641 is provided on the surface of the bottom plate 640 on the camera module 3 side.
 第1プリント基板90に設けられた4つの磁気センサ92は、可動ユニット10が回転すると、可動ユニット10の回転に応じて位置検出磁石650の位置が変化することで、4つの磁気センサ92に作用する磁力が変化する。4つの磁気センサ92は、位置検出磁石650の回転により作用する磁力変化を検出し、軸1b、軸1cに対する2次元の回転角度を算出する。4つの磁気センサ92は、軸1b、1cを含む平面に平行に第1プリント基板90に配置される。このとき、4つの磁気センサ92のうち2つの磁気センサ92は、可動ユニット10のチルティング方向における回転位置を検出するために、軸1c上に配置される。残り2つの磁気センサ92は、可動ユニット10のパンニング方向における回転位置を検出するために、軸1b上に配置される。 The four magnetic sensors 92 provided on the first printed circuit board 90 act on the four magnetic sensors 92 by changing the position of the position detection magnet 650 according to the rotation of the movable unit 10 when the movable unit 10 rotates. The magnetic force that changes. The four magnetic sensors 92 detect a change in magnetic force that is caused by the rotation of the position detection magnet 650, and calculate a two-dimensional rotation angle with respect to the shaft 1b and the shaft 1c. The four magnetic sensors 92 are arranged on the first printed circuit board 90 in parallel to a plane including the axes 1b and 1c. At this time, two of the four magnetic sensors 92 are arranged on the shaft 1c in order to detect the rotational position of the movable unit 10 in the tilting direction. The remaining two magnetic sensors 92 are arranged on the shaft 1b in order to detect the rotational position of the movable unit 10 in the panning direction.
 連結部50は、連結部50の中央部分に球状の第2遊嵌部材501を有している(図3、図4参照)。第2遊嵌部材501は、凸状球面を有する第2遊嵌面505を含んでいる。球状の第2遊嵌部材501は、連結部50の中央部分(凹部)に接着剤で固定されている。 The connecting part 50 has a spherical second loosely fitting member 501 at the central part of the connecting part 50 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). The second loose fitting member 501 includes a second loose fitting surface 505 having a convex spherical surface. The spherical second loosely fitting member 501 is fixed to the central portion (concave portion) of the connecting portion 50 with an adhesive.
 連結部50と第1遊嵌部材602とが結合する。具体的には、第1遊嵌部材602の第1遊嵌面605は、第2遊嵌部材501の第2遊嵌面505と僅かな隙間を介して嵌め合せるように点または線接触する。これにより、連結部50は、可動ユニット10が回転可能となるように可動ユニット10をピボット支持することができる。ここで、球状の第2遊嵌部材501の中心が、回転の中心点となる。 The connecting portion 50 and the first loosely fitting member 602 are coupled. Specifically, the first loose-fit surface 605 of the first loose-fit member 602 makes point or line contact with the second loose-fit surface 505 of the second loose-fit member 501 so as to be fitted through a slight gap. Thereby, the connection part 50 can pivot-support the movable unit 10 so that the movable unit 10 can rotate. Here, the center of the spherical second loosely fitting member 501 is the center point of rotation.
 連結部50は、第2遊嵌部材501が設けられた反対側に、曲面形状の凸部502が設けられている。連結部50の凸部502は、ボトムプレート640の凹部641に嵌め込まれている。上述したように、ボトムプレート640は、本体部601に固定される。そのため、本体部601が回転すると、その回転に伴ってボトムプレート640も回転させる必要がある。そこで、連結部50の曲面形状の凸部502をボトムプレート640の曲面形状の凹部641に嵌め込むことで、連結部50に対してボトムプレート640が回転可能となる。したがって、本体部601が回転すると、その回転に伴ってボトムプレート640も回転させることができる。 The connecting portion 50 is provided with a convex portion 502 having a curved surface on the opposite side to which the second loose fitting member 501 is provided. The convex portion 502 of the connecting portion 50 is fitted into the concave portion 641 of the bottom plate 640. As described above, the bottom plate 640 is fixed to the main body 601. Therefore, when the main body 601 rotates, it is necessary to rotate the bottom plate 640 with the rotation. Therefore, the bottom plate 640 can be rotated with respect to the connecting portion 50 by fitting the curved convex portion 502 of the connecting portion 50 into the curved concave portion 641 of the bottom plate 640. Therefore, when the main body 601 rotates, the bottom plate 640 can be rotated along with the rotation.

 本実施形態のカメラ装置1は、一対の駆動コイル720と一対の駆動コイル721に同時に通電することで、可動ユニット10を2次元的に回転(チルティング、パンニング)させることができる。また、カメラ装置1は、一対の駆動コイル730と一対の駆動コイル731に同時に通電することで、光軸1aを回転軸として可動ユニット10を回転(ローリング)させることもできる。 The camera device 1 of the present embodiment can rotate the movable unit 10 two-dimensionally (tilting and panning) by energizing the pair of drive coils 720 and the pair of drive coils 721 simultaneously. The camera device 1 can also rotate (roll) the movable unit 10 about the optical axis 1a as a rotation axis by energizing the pair of drive coils 730 and the pair of drive coils 731 simultaneously.
 ところで、第1磁気ヨーク710と第1駆動磁石620とにおいて、互いに対向するヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間、具体的には回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向の隙間は、無通電時に可動ユニット10が中立状態となるために均一であることが好ましい(図5参照)。同様に、第2磁気ヨーク711と第2駆動磁石621とにおいて、互いに対向するヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間、具体的には回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向の隙間は、無通電時に可動ユニット10が中立状態となるために均一であることが好ましい(図5参照)。なお、本実施形態において、無通電とは、第1コイルユニット52及び第2コイルユニット53に電流が流れていない状態のことをいう。 By the way, in the first magnetic yoke 710 and the first drive magnet 620, the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 facing each other, specifically, the gap in the direction along the arc centered on the center point of rotation is Since the movable unit 10 is in a neutral state when no power is supplied, it is preferable that the movable unit 10 be uniform (see FIG. 5). Similarly, in the second magnetic yoke 711 and the second drive magnet 621, a gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 facing each other, specifically, a gap in a direction along an arc centered on the center point of rotation. Is preferably uniform because the movable unit 10 is in a neutral state when no power is supplied (see FIG. 5). In the present embodiment, the non-energization means a state in which no current flows through the first coil unit 52 and the second coil unit 53.
 しかしながら、第1磁気ヨーク710(第2磁気ヨーク711)の取り付け時、つまり磁気ヨークホルダ740,750(741,751)の本体部51への取り付け時に、ヨーク面715(716)と磁石面625(626)との隙間が均一にならない場合がある。または、第1駆動磁石620の第1磁気バックヨーク610への取り付け時にヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間が均一にならない場合がある。さらには、第2駆動磁石621の第2磁気バックヨーク611への取り付け時にヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間が均一にならない場合がある。 However, when the first magnetic yoke 710 (second magnetic yoke 711) is attached, that is, when the magnetic yoke holders 740, 750 (741, 751) are attached to the main body 51, the yoke surface 715 (716) and the magnet surface 625 (626). ) May not be uniform. Alternatively, the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 may not be uniform when the first drive magnet 620 is attached to the first magnetic back yoke 610. Furthermore, the gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 may not be uniform when the second drive magnet 621 is attached to the second magnetic back yoke 611.
 例えば、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間が均一でない場合には、磁石面625において第1磁気ヨーク710を吸引する力が均一とはならない。そのため、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との間で互いの距離が近い部位が強く引き合い、その結果、カメラモジュールがチルティング方向に沿って回転する。例えば、カメラモジュール3が床面を撮像するようにカメラ装置1を天井に設けた場合、カメラモジュール3(可動ユニット10)は、天井からの鉛直方向Gに対してチルティング方向に傾く(図6参照)。 For example, when the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 is not uniform, the force for attracting the first magnetic yoke 710 on the magnet surface 625 is not uniform. Therefore, a portion where the distance between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 is close to each other attracts strongly, and as a result, the camera module rotates along the tilting direction. For example, when the camera device 1 is provided on the ceiling so that the camera module 3 images the floor surface, the camera module 3 (movable unit 10) is inclined in the tilting direction with respect to the vertical direction G from the ceiling (FIG. 6). reference).
 そこで、本実施形態のカメラ装置1(アクチュエータ2)は、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間、及びヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間のうち少なくとも一方の隙間が均一でない場合において、無通電時に可動ユニット10が中立状態となるように調整機構5を備えている。つまり、調整機構5は、無通電時において、カメラモジュール3が撮像する向きが所定方向(例えば軸1b,1cの双方に直交する方向)と一致するように、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間、及びヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間のうち少なくとも一方の隙間を調整する。ここで、カメラモジュール3が撮像する向きとは、撮像方向に向う光軸1aの向きである。調整機構5は、少なくとも1つの調整部を含む。ここで、調整部は、例えば非磁性体である平板形状のスペーサを含む。 Therefore, the camera device 1 (actuator 2) of the present embodiment has no effect when at least one of the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 and the gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 is not uniform. An adjustment mechanism 5 is provided so that the movable unit 10 is in a neutral state when energized. In other words, the adjustment mechanism 5 is configured such that when the current is not energized, the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 are arranged such that the direction in which the camera module 3 captures an image coincides with a predetermined direction (eg, a direction orthogonal to both the axes 1b and 1c) At least one of the gap and the gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 is adjusted. Here, the direction in which the camera module 3 captures an image is the direction of the optical axis 1a in the image capturing direction. The adjustment mechanism 5 includes at least one adjustment unit. Here, the adjustment unit includes a flat spacer that is a non-magnetic material, for example.
 ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間が均一でない場合には、調整機構5に含まれる調整部5aが、固定ユニット20の本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ740とねじ止めされる部位515と、磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設けられる(図2B参照)。さらに、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と、本体部51にねじ止めされる磁気ヨークホルダ750の端部である部位755(図3参照)との間にも、同様に、調整部5aが設けられる。 When the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 is not uniform, the adjustment unit 5a included in the adjustment mechanism 5 is connected to the magnetic yoke holder 740 in the main body 51 of the fixed unit 20 and the portion 515 screwed. It is provided between the part 745 of the yoke holder 740 (refer FIG. 2B). Further, similarly between the portion of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the portion 755 (see FIG. 3) which is the end of the magnetic yoke holder 750 screwed to the main body 51. An adjustment unit 5a is provided.
 ヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間が均一でない場合には、調整機構5に含まれる調整部5bが、固定ユニット20の本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ741とねじ止めされる部位516と、磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間に設けられる(図2C参照)。さらに、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と、本体部51にねじ止めされる磁気ヨークホルダ751の端部である部位756(図3参照)との間にも、同様に、調整部5bが設けられる。なお、図3では、調整機構5は省略している。 When the gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 is not uniform, the adjustment portion 5b included in the adjustment mechanism 5 is connected to the magnetic yoke holder 741 in the body portion 51 of the fixed unit 20 and the portion 516 to be screwed. It is provided between the portion 746 of the yoke holder 741 (see FIG. 2C). Further, similarly between the portion of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the portion 756 (see FIG. 3) which is the end of the magnetic yoke holder 751 screwed to the main body 51. An adjustment unit 5b is provided. In FIG. 3, the adjusting mechanism 5 is omitted.
 ここで、調整機構5は、カメラ装置1の製造時(出荷前)に設けられる。なお、調整部5a,5bは、本開示の部材に相当する。 Here, the adjusting mechanism 5 is provided when the camera device 1 is manufactured (before shipment). The adjustment units 5a and 5b correspond to members of the present disclosure.
 (2)調整方法(製造方法)
 次に、カメラ装置1の製造方法、具体的には調整機構5を設けて隙間を調整する調整方法について説明する。なお、ここでは、カメラ装置1は、カメラモジュール3が床面を撮像するようにカメラ装置1を天井に設けて使用されることを想定している。
(2) Adjustment method (manufacturing method)
Next, a method for manufacturing the camera device 1, specifically, an adjustment method for adjusting the gap by providing the adjustment mechanism 5 will be described. Here, it is assumed that the camera device 1 is used with the camera device 1 provided on the ceiling so that the camera module 3 images the floor surface.
 調整機構5が設けられる前のカメラ装置1のカメラモジュール3のレンズが下方を向くように配置する。カメラ装置1の固定ユニット用センサチップ93、可動ユニット用センサチップ401及びマイクロコントローラ94に対して電源の供給を行う。つまり、第1コイルユニット52、第2コイルユニット53には電流は流れない。 Alignment is performed so that the lens of the camera module 3 of the camera device 1 before the adjustment mechanism 5 is provided faces downward. Power is supplied to the fixed unit sensor chip 93, the movable unit sensor chip 401, and the microcontroller 94 of the camera device 1. That is, no current flows through the first coil unit 52 and the second coil unit 53.
 このとき、固定ユニット用センサチップ93は、第1固定ユニット用センサと、第2固定ユニット用センサとの検知結果をマイクロコントローラ94に出力する。具体的には、固定ユニット用センサチップ93は、第1固定ユニット用センサと、第2固定ユニット用センサとのそれぞれの加速度から得られる鉛直方向Gを基準とする固定ユニット20のチルティング方向における傾き角度、及び固定ユニット20のパンニング方向における傾き角度を、マイクロコントローラ94に出力する。例えば、チルティング方向に対する固定ユニット20の傾きが方向G1である場合、つまり鉛直方向と一致する場合、第1固定ユニット用センサは、チルティング方向における固定ユニット20の傾き角度として0度を検出する。なお、ここでは、チルティング方向における固定ユニット20の傾き角度、及びパンニング方向における固定ユニット20の傾き角度は、双方とも0度である。 At this time, the fixed unit sensor chip 93 outputs the detection results of the first fixed unit sensor and the second fixed unit sensor to the microcontroller 94. Specifically, the fixed unit sensor chip 93 is in the tilting direction of the fixed unit 20 based on the vertical direction G obtained from the accelerations of the first fixed unit sensor and the second fixed unit sensor. The tilt angle and the tilt angle of the fixed unit 20 in the panning direction are output to the microcontroller 94. For example, when the inclination of the fixed unit 20 with respect to the tilting direction is the direction G1, that is, when it coincides with the vertical direction, the first fixed unit sensor detects 0 degree as the inclination angle of the fixed unit 20 in the tilting direction. . Here, the inclination angle of the fixed unit 20 in the tilting direction and the inclination angle of the fixed unit 20 in the panning direction are both 0 degrees.
 次に、調整方法(製造方法)では、予め設定された設定軸(例えば、鉛直方向G)に対するカメラモジュール3の傾きを検出する検出処理を行う。可動ユニット用センサチップ401が、第1可動ユニット用センサと、第2可動ユニット用センサとを用いてチルティング方向及びパンニング方向のそれぞれに対するカメラモジュール3の傾きを検出する。可動ユニット用センサチップ401は、第1可動ユニット用センサと、第2可動ユニット用センサとの検知結果をマイクロコントローラ94に出力する。つまり、可動ユニット用センサチップ401は、第1可動ユニット用センサと、第2可動ユニット用センサとのそれぞれから得られる鉛直方向Gを基準とするカメラモジュール3のチルティング方向における傾き角度、及びパンニング方向における傾き角度を、マイクロコントローラ94に出力する。例えば、カメラモジュール3が鉛直方向Gに対して方向G2に傾いている場合、第1可動ユニット用センサは、チルティング方向におけるカメラモジュール3の傾き角度θを検出する(図6参照)。 Next, in the adjustment method (manufacturing method), detection processing for detecting the tilt of the camera module 3 with respect to a preset setting axis (for example, the vertical direction G) is performed. The movable unit sensor chip 401 detects the tilt of the camera module 3 with respect to each of the tilting direction and the panning direction using the first movable unit sensor and the second movable unit sensor. The movable unit sensor chip 401 outputs the detection results of the first movable unit sensor and the second movable unit sensor to the microcontroller 94. That is, the movable unit sensor chip 401 includes the tilt angle in the tilting direction of the camera module 3 with respect to the vertical direction G obtained from each of the first movable unit sensor and the second movable unit sensor, and panning. The tilt angle in the direction is output to the microcontroller 94. For example, when the camera module 3 is tilted in the direction G2 with respect to the vertical direction G, the first movable unit sensor detects the tilt angle θ of the camera module 3 in the tilting direction (see FIG. 6).
 次に、調整方法(製造方法)では、検出処理が検出したカメラモジュール3の傾きを調整する調整機構を設ける調整処理を行う。マイクロコントローラ94は、チルティング方向における傾き角度に応じて調整部5aとして磁気ヨークホルダ740,750と本体部51との間に設けるべきスペーサの厚みを記憶している。さらに、マイクロコントローラ94は、パンニング方向における傾き角度に応じて調整部5bとして磁気ヨークホルダ741,751と本体部51との間に設けるべきスペーサの厚みを記憶している。マイクロコントローラ94は、第1可動ユニット用センサが検出したチルティング方向における傾き角度θに応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)の厚みの情報を、外部の表示装置(図示せず)に表示させる。作業員は、表示装置に表示された厚みのスペーサ(調整部5a)を、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設ける。同様に、作業員は、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と、磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間にも、表示装置に表示された厚みのスペーサ(調整部5a)を設ける。なお、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設けられるスペーサの厚みと、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と、磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間に設けられるスペーサの厚みは、調整具合に応じて、選択することができ、例えば、同じ厚みであっても、異なる厚みであってもよい。 Next, in the adjustment method (manufacturing method), an adjustment process for providing an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the tilt of the camera module 3 detected by the detection process is performed. The microcontroller 94 stores the thickness of the spacer to be provided between the magnetic yoke holders 740 and 750 and the main body 51 as the adjusting portion 5a according to the tilt angle in the tilting direction. Further, the microcontroller 94 stores the thickness of the spacer that should be provided between the magnetic yoke holders 741 and 751 and the main body 51 as the adjusting portion 5b according to the inclination angle in the panning direction. The microcontroller 94 displays information on the thickness of the spacer (adjustment unit 5a) according to the tilt angle θ in the tilting direction detected by the first movable unit sensor on an external display device (not shown). The worker provides a spacer (adjustment part 5 a) having a thickness displayed on the display device between the part 515 of the main body part 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740. Similarly, the worker places a spacer (adjustment unit 5a) having a thickness displayed on the display device between a portion of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and a portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750. Provide. In addition, the thickness of the spacer provided between the part 515 of the main body 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740, the part of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750, and the part 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750 The thickness of the spacer provided between them can be selected according to the adjustment, and for example, the thickness may be the same or different.
 鉛直方向Gを基準とするカメラモジュール3のチルティング方向における傾き角度が、固定ユニット20のチルティング方向における傾き角度と、一致するまで、上記処理(検出処理、調整処理)を繰り返す。つまり、調整処理では、無通電時におけるカメラモジュール3の撮像向きが所定方向として鉛直方向Gと一致するように、カメラモジュール3を調整する。 The above processing (detection processing and adjustment processing) is repeated until the tilt angle in the tilting direction of the camera module 3 with respect to the vertical direction G coincides with the tilt angle in the tilting direction of the fixed unit 20. That is, in the adjustment process, the camera module 3 is adjusted so that the imaging direction of the camera module 3 when no power is supplied coincides with the vertical direction G as a predetermined direction.
 また、第2可動ユニット用センサがパンニング方向における傾き角度を検出した場合も同様に、マイクロコントローラ94は、検出した角度に応じたスペーサ(調整部5b)の厚みの情報を、外部の表示装置に表示させる。作業員は、表示装置に表示された厚みのスペーサ(調整部5b)を、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間に設ける。同様に、作業員は、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と、磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間にも、表示装置に表示された厚みのスペーサ(調整部5b)を設ける。なお、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間に設けられるスペーサの厚みと、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と、磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間に設けられるスペーサの厚みは、調整具合に応じて、選択することができ、例えば、同じ厚みであっても、異なる厚みであってもよい。 Similarly, when the second movable unit sensor detects the tilt angle in the panning direction, the microcontroller 94 also sends information on the thickness of the spacer (adjustment unit 5b) corresponding to the detected angle to the external display device. Display. The worker provides a spacer (adjustment portion 5 b) having a thickness displayed on the display device between the portion 516 of the main body 51 and the portion 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741. Similarly, the worker places a spacer (adjustment part 5b) having a thickness displayed on the display device between the part of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751. Provide. In addition, the thickness of the spacer provided between the part 516 of the main body 51 and the part 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741, the part of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751, and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751 The thickness of the spacer provided between them can be selected according to the adjustment, and for example, the thickness may be the same or different.
 鉛直方向Gを基準とするカメラモジュール3のパンニング方向における傾き角度が、固定ユニット20のパンニング方向における傾き角度と、それぞれ一致するまで、上記作業を繰り返す。 The above operation is repeated until the tilt angle of the camera module 3 in the panning direction with respect to the vertical direction G matches the tilt angle of the fixed unit 20 in the panning direction.
 チルティング方向における傾きを調整するスペーサ(調整部5a)の厚みと、パンニング方向における傾きを調整するスペーサ(調整部5b)の厚みも、可動ユニット10(カメラモジュール3)の傾き具合に応じて適宜選択される。具体的には、スペーサ(調整部5a)とスペーサ(調整部5b)は、同じ厚みである場合もあれば、異なる厚みである場合もある。 The thickness of the spacer (adjustment unit 5a) for adjusting the inclination in the tilting direction and the thickness of the spacer (adjustment unit 5b) for adjusting the inclination in the panning direction are also appropriately determined according to the inclination of the movable unit 10 (camera module 3). Selected. Specifically, the spacer (adjusting part 5a) and the spacer (adjusting part 5b) may have the same thickness or different thicknesses.
 なお、表示装置に表示された厚みのスペーサの選択、取り付けを、ピッキングシステム、組み立てロボット等を用いて自動化してもよい。 Note that the selection and installation of the spacer having the thickness displayed on the display device may be automated using a picking system, an assembly robot, or the like.
 (3)利点
 上述したように、第1磁気ヨーク710と第1駆動磁石620とにおいて、互いに対向するヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間、具体的には回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向の隙間は均一であることが好ましい(図5参照)。同様に、第2磁気ヨーク711と第2駆動磁石621とにおいて、互いに対向するヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間、具体的には回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向の隙間は均一であることが好ましい(図5参照)。
(3) Advantages As described above, in the first magnetic yoke 710 and the first drive magnet 620, a gap between the mutually opposing yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625, specifically, an arc centered on the center point of rotation. It is preferable that the gap in the direction along is uniform (see FIG. 5). Similarly, in the second magnetic yoke 711 and the second drive magnet 621, a gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 facing each other, specifically, a gap in a direction along an arc centered on the center point of rotation. Is preferably uniform (see FIG. 5).
 しかしながら、これらの隙間が均一とはならない場合がある。そのような場合、カメラモジュール3が床面を撮像するようにカメラ装置1を天井に設けたとき、カメラモジュール3は、無通電時において天井からの鉛直方向Gに対して例えばチルティング方向に傾く。カメラモジュール3が無通電時において天井からの鉛直方向Gに対して、チルティング方向に傾くと、通電時において、カメラモジュール3が傾いた側とは逆側(チルティング方向に沿った逆側)におけるカメラモジュール3の制振性能が低下する。 However, these gaps may not be uniform. In such a case, when the camera device 1 is provided on the ceiling so that the camera module 3 captures an image of the floor surface, the camera module 3 is tilted, for example, in the tilting direction with respect to the vertical direction G from the ceiling when no power is supplied. . When the camera module 3 is tilted in the tilting direction with respect to the vertical direction G from the ceiling when there is no power supply, the side opposite to the side where the camera module 3 is tilted when power is supplied (the reverse side along the tilting direction). The vibration control performance of the camera module 3 is reduced.
 カメラモジュール3が無通電時において天井からの鉛直方向Gに対してパンニング方向に傾いた場合も、通電時において、カメラモジュール3が傾いた側とは逆側(パンニング方向に沿った逆側)におけるカメラモジュール3の制振性能が低下する。 Even when the camera module 3 is tilted in the panning direction with respect to the vertical direction G from the ceiling when there is no energization, on the side opposite to the side where the camera module 3 is tilted during energization (the opposite side along the panning direction). The vibration control performance of the camera module 3 is reduced.
 そのため、無通電時にカメラモジュールを中立状態とするために、本実施形態では、カメラ装置1(アクチュエータ2)は、調整機構5を備えている。調整機構5を備えることで、通電時において、カメラモジュール3の制振性能が低下する可能性を低くすることができる。 Therefore, in this embodiment, the camera device 1 (actuator 2) includes an adjustment mechanism 5 in order to make the camera module neutral when no power is supplied. By providing the adjustment mechanism 5, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the vibration control performance of the camera module 3 is lowered during energization.
 つまり、本開示に係るアクチュエータ2は、無通電時に可動ユニット10が所定方向に傾く可能性を低くすることができるので、制振性能が大きく劣化する角度方向が存在せず、どの方向に傾いても均一な制振性能を実現することができる。 That is, the actuator 2 according to the present disclosure can reduce the possibility that the movable unit 10 is tilted in a predetermined direction when there is no energization. Therefore, there is no angular direction in which the damping performance is greatly deteriorated, and any direction is tilted. Can achieve uniform damping performance.
 なお、実施形態1では、カメラ装置1を天井に設けてカメラモジュール3が床面を撮像する構成としたがこの構成に限定されない。例えば、カメラモジュール3が天井から床面への方向に直交する方向を撮像するように、天井と床面と間に設けられた壁にカメラ装置1を設けてもよい。この場合の調整方法は、第1固定ユニット用センサの結果と第1可動ユニット用センサの結果とが、第2固定ユニット用センサの結果と第2可動ユニット用センサの結果とが、それぞれ一致するように、調整機構5を設ける。これにより、実施形態1と同様の効果を得る。 In the first embodiment, the camera device 1 is provided on the ceiling and the camera module 3 images the floor surface. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the camera device 1 may be provided on a wall provided between the ceiling and the floor so that the camera module 3 captures a direction orthogonal to the direction from the ceiling to the floor. The adjustment method in this case is that the result of the first fixed unit sensor and the result of the first movable unit sensor match the result of the second fixed unit sensor and the result of the second movable unit sensor, respectively. Thus, the adjustment mechanism 5 is provided. Thereby, the same effect as in the first embodiment is obtained.
 また、上述した調整方法では、可動ユニット用センサチップ401及び固定ユニット用センサチップ93チップを用いている。そのため、上記調整方法を用いて、カメラモジュール3がアクチュエータ2に備えられていない状態で可動ユニット10の傾きを調整してもよい。この場合、可動ユニット10の傾きを調整した後に、カメラモジュール3が取り付けられる。 In the above-described adjustment method, the movable unit sensor chip 401 and the fixed unit sensor chip 93 are used. Therefore, the tilt of the movable unit 10 may be adjusted using the adjustment method in a state where the camera module 3 is not included in the actuator 2. In this case, the camera module 3 is attached after adjusting the inclination of the movable unit 10.
 (4)変形例
 (4-1)変形例1
 実施形態1で説明した調整方法では、第1固定ユニット用センサの結果と第1可動ユニット用センサの結果とが、第2固定ユニット用センサの結果と第2可動ユニット用センサの結果とが、それぞれ一致するように調整機構5を設ける構成とした。しかしながら、この構成に限定されない。
(4) Modification (4-1) Modification 1
In the adjustment method described in the first embodiment, the result of the first fixed unit sensor and the result of the first movable unit sensor are the result of the second fixed unit sensor and the result of the second movable unit sensor. The adjustment mechanism 5 is provided so as to match each other. However, it is not limited to this configuration.
 磁気センサ92の結果を用いて、調整機構5を設ける調整方法を採用してもよい。 An adjustment method in which the adjustment mechanism 5 is provided using the result of the magnetic sensor 92 may be adopted.
 例えば、第1磁気ヨーク710と第1駆動磁石620とにおいて、互いに対向するヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間、具体的には回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向の隙間は均一でないとする。 For example, in the first magnetic yoke 710 and the first drive magnet 620, the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 facing each other, specifically, the gap in the direction along the arc centered on the center point of rotation is Suppose that it is not uniform.
 このとき、カメラモジュール3が床面を撮像するようにカメラ装置1を天井に設けたとき、カメラモジュール3は、無通電時において天井からの鉛直方向Gに対して例えばチルティング方向に傾く。この場合、調整方法(製造方法)における検出処理では、磁気センサ92の結果により、本体部51に対して可動ユニット10(カメラモジュール3)がチルティング方向に傾いていることが検出される。 At this time, when the camera device 1 is provided on the ceiling so that the camera module 3 images the floor surface, the camera module 3 is tilted, for example, in the tilting direction with respect to the vertical direction G from the ceiling when no power is supplied. In this case, in the detection process in the adjustment method (manufacturing method), it is detected from the result of the magnetic sensor 92 that the movable unit 10 (camera module 3) is tilted with respect to the main body 51 in the tilting direction.
 調整方法(製造方法)における調整処理では、マイクロコントローラ94は、磁気センサ92が検出したチルティング方向における傾き角度θに応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)の厚みの情報を、外部の表示装置(図示せず)に表示させる。作業員は、傾き度合(傾き角度)に応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)を本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設ける。同様に、作業員は、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と、磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間にも、傾き度合に応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)を設ける。 In the adjustment process in the adjustment method (manufacturing method), the microcontroller 94 displays information on the thickness of the spacer (adjustment unit 5a) according to the tilt angle θ in the tilting direction detected by the magnetic sensor 92, using an external display device (FIG. (Not shown). The worker provides a spacer (adjustment unit 5 a) according to the degree of inclination (inclination angle) between the part 515 of the main body part 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740. Similarly, the worker also provides a spacer (adjustment unit 5a) corresponding to the degree of inclination between a portion of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and a portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750.
 本体部51に対して可動ユニット10(カメラモジュール3)がチルティング方向に傾いていないことが磁気センサ92によって検出されるまで、上記処理(検出処理、調整処理)を繰り返す。つまり、調整処理では、調整機構5は、無通電時におけるカメラモジュール3の撮像向きが所定方向として軸1b,1cの双方と直交する方向と一致するように、カメラモジュール3を調整する。 The above processing (detection processing, adjustment processing) is repeated until the magnetic sensor 92 detects that the movable unit 10 (camera module 3) is not tilted in the tilting direction with respect to the main body 51. That is, in the adjustment process, the adjustment mechanism 5 adjusts the camera module 3 so that the imaging direction of the camera module 3 when not energized coincides with a direction orthogonal to both the axes 1b and 1c as a predetermined direction.
 なお、本変形例の調整方法では、磁気センサ92を用いている。そのため、本変形例を用いて、カメラモジュール3がアクチュエータ2に備えられていない状態で可動ユニット10の傾きを調整してもよい。この場合、可動ユニット10の傾きを調整した後に、カメラモジュール3が取り付けられる。 In the adjustment method of this modification, the magnetic sensor 92 is used. Therefore, the tilt of the movable unit 10 may be adjusted in a state where the camera module 3 is not provided in the actuator 2 using this modification. In this case, the camera module 3 is attached after adjusting the inclination of the movable unit 10.
 (4-2)変形例2
 実施形態1では、チルティング方向及びパンニング方向のそれぞれにおけるカメラモジュール3の傾きを調整する方法を述べた。本変形例では、ロール方向におけるカメラモジュール3の傾きを調整する方法を述べる。なお、ここでは、ヨーク面715と磁石面625、及びヨーク面716と磁石面626とのそれぞれにおいて回転の中心点を中心とする円弧に沿った方向を長辺方向とし、長辺方向に直交する方向を短辺方向という。
(4-2) Modification 2
In the first embodiment, the method of adjusting the tilt of the camera module 3 in each of the tilting direction and the panning direction has been described. In this modification, a method for adjusting the tilt of the camera module 3 in the roll direction will be described. Here, in each of the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625, and the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626, the direction along the arc centering on the center point of rotation is defined as the long side direction, and is orthogonal to the long side direction. The direction is called the short side direction.
 ヨーク面715と磁石面625、及びヨーク面716と磁石面626とのそれぞれにおいても、短辺方向に沿った隙間が均一であることが好ましい。 Also in each of the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625, and the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626, it is preferable that the gap along the short side direction is uniform.
 ヨーク面715と磁石面625とにおいて短辺方向に沿った隙間が均一でない場合には、磁石面625において短辺方向に沿った第1磁気ヨーク710を吸引する力が均一とはならない。そのため、カメラモジュール3は、無通電時であってもロール方向に対して回転する。つまり、カメラモジュール3は、無通電時である場合においても基準位置からロール方法に対してある角度分だけ回転している。 When the gap along the short side direction is not uniform between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625, the force for attracting the first magnetic yoke 710 along the short side direction on the magnet surface 625 is not uniform. Therefore, the camera module 3 rotates with respect to the roll direction even when no power is supplied. That is, the camera module 3 is rotated by a certain angle with respect to the roll method from the reference position even when no power is supplied.
 ヨーク面715と磁石面625とにおける短辺方向の隙間が均一でない場合には、固定ユニット20の本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間の少なくとも一方に、調整部が設けられる。このとき、磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745と固定ユニット20の本体部51の部位515との間に設けられる調整部の調整量(厚み)と、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間に設けられる調整部の調整量とが異なる。特に、無通電時にカメラモジュール3がロール方向に回転し、かつチルティング方向において回転している場合には、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設けられる調整部の調整量と、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間に設けられる調整部の調整量とが異なる。 When the gaps in the short side direction between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 are not uniform, the magnetic yoke holder between the portion 515 of the main body 51 of the fixed unit 20 and the portion 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 and among the main body 51 An adjustment unit is provided at least one of a portion 750 and a portion to be screwed and a portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750. At this time, the adjustment amount (thickness) of the adjustment portion provided between the portion 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 and the portion 515 of the main body 51 of the fixed unit 20, and the portion of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 And the adjustment amount of the adjustment portion provided between the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750 are different. In particular, when the camera module 3 rotates in the roll direction and rotates in the tilting direction when no power is supplied, an adjustment unit provided between the part 515 of the main body 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 is provided. The adjustment amount is different from the adjustment amount of the adjustment portion provided between the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750 in the main body 51.
 同様に、ヨーク面716と磁石面626とにおいて短辺方向に沿って隙間が均一でない場合には、固定ユニット20の本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間のうち少なくとも一方に、調整部が設けられる。この場合においても、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間に設けられる調整部の調整量(厚み)と、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間に設けられる調整部の調整量とが異なる。特に、無通電時にカメラモジュール3がロール方向に回転し、かつパンニング方向において回転している場合には、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間に設けられる調整部の調整量と、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間に設けられる調整部の調整量とが異なる。 Similarly, when the gaps are not uniform along the short side direction between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626, between the portion 516 of the main body 51 of the fixed unit 20 and the portion 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741, and the main body An adjustment unit is provided in at least one of 51 between the part to be screwed with the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751. Even in this case, the adjustment amount (thickness) of the adjustment portion provided between the portion 516 of the main body 51 and the portion 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741, the portion of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751, and the magnetic The adjustment amount of the adjustment portion provided between the yoke holder 751 and the portion 756 is different. In particular, when the camera module 3 rotates in the roll direction and rotates in the panning direction when no power is supplied, adjustment of the adjustment unit provided between the part 515 of the main body 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 is adjusted. The amount and the adjustment amount of the adjustment portion provided between the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the portion to be screwed in the main body 51 and the portion 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751 are different.
 (4-3)変形例3
 実施形態1では、平板状のスペーサを調整部5a,5bとして説明したが、本変形例では、アジャスタを調整部とする。
(4-3) Modification 3
In the first embodiment, the flat spacers have been described as the adjustment units 5a and 5b. However, in the present modification, an adjuster is used as the adjustment unit.
 この場合、アジャスタは、ばねを有している。調整部としてのアジャスタは、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間に設けられる。さらに、調整部としてのアジャスタは、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間に設けられる。 In this case, the adjuster has a spring. The adjuster as the adjustment unit is between the part 515 of the main body part 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740, and between the part of the main body part 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the part 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750. Provided. Further, the adjuster as the adjustment unit is between the part 516 of the main body part 51 and the part 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741, and between the part of the main body part 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751. Provided.
 例えば、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間が均一でない場合には、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745とにおけるねじ止めの締め付けを緩める。さらに、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755とにおけるねじ止めの締め付けを緩める。これにより、各アジャスタのばねの復元力が発生し、本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間に、隙間がそれぞれ生じる。本変形例のアジャスタは、ばねの復元力によって生じる本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間の隙間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位755との間の隙間を調整することで、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間を調整することができる。 For example, when the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 is not uniform, the screwing tightening at the portion 515 of the main body 51 and the portion 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 is loosened. Further, the tightening of the screwing at the portion of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the portion 755 of the magnetic yoke holder 750 is loosened. As a result, a restoring force of the spring of each adjuster is generated, and between the portion 515 of the main body 51 and the portion 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 and the portion of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the magnetic yoke holder 750. A gap is generated between each part 755 and the other part 755. The adjuster of the present modification includes a gap between the portion 515 of the main body 51 and the portion 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 generated by the restoring force of the spring, and a portion of the main body 51 that is screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the magnetic yoke holder. The gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 can be adjusted by adjusting the gap between the portion 755 and the portion 755.
 ヨーク面716と磁石面626との隙間が均一でない場合には、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746とにおけるねじ止めの締め付けを緩める。さらに、本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756とにおけるねじ止めの締め付けを緩める。これにより、各アジャスタのばねの復元力が発生し、本体部51の部位516と磁気ヨークホルダ741の部位746との間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ751とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ751の部位756との間に、隙間がそれぞれ生じる。ばねの復元力によって生じる本体部51の部位515と磁気ヨークホルダ740の部位745との間の隙間、及び本体部51のうち磁気ヨークホルダ750とねじ止めされる部位と磁気ヨークホルダ750の部位756との間の隙間を調整することで、ヨーク面715と磁石面625との隙間が調整される。 When the gap between the yoke surface 716 and the magnet surface 626 is not uniform, the screwing tightening at the part 516 of the main body 51 and the part 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741 is loosened. Further, the tightening of the screwing at the part to be screwed with the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 751 in the main body 51 is loosened. As a result, a restoring force of the spring of each adjuster is generated, and between the portion 516 of the main body 51 and the portion 746 of the magnetic yoke holder 741 and the portion of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the magnetic yoke holder 751. A gap is formed between each part 756 and the other part 756. A gap between the part 515 of the main body 51 and the part 745 of the magnetic yoke holder 740 generated by the restoring force of the spring, and between the part of the main body 51 screwed to the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the part 756 of the magnetic yoke holder 750. By adjusting the gap, the gap between the yoke surface 715 and the magnet surface 625 is adjusted.
 ところで、磁気ヨークホルダと本体部との間でねじ止めした場合、磁気ヨークホルダと本体部との間での挟み込む力は大きい。そのため、ばねを有するアジャスタを調整部(調整機構5)として用いる場合よりも、スペーサを用いた場合の方が調整機構5としての強度は高い。そのため、調整部(調整機構5)としてスペーサを用いることが好ましい。しかしながら、調整部(調整機構5)としてアジャスタを用いることも本開示の範疇である。 By the way, when screwed between the magnetic yoke holder and the main body, the clamping force between the magnetic yoke holder and the main body is large. Therefore, the strength of the adjusting mechanism 5 is higher when the spacer is used than when the adjuster having a spring is used as the adjusting portion (adjusting mechanism 5). Therefore, it is preferable to use a spacer as the adjustment unit (adjustment mechanism 5). However, it is also within the scope of the present disclosure to use an adjuster as the adjustment unit (adjustment mechanism 5).

In the first embodiment, the tilt of the camera module 3 is adjusted using the fixed unit sensor chip 93 and the movable unit sensor chip 401 included in the camera device 1. In the present embodiment, the tilt of the camera module 3 is adjusted using another camera device.
 以下、本実施形態のカメラ装置1の調整方法について、実施形態1と異なる点を中心に説明する。なお、実施形態1と同一の構成要素については、同一の符号を付して説明を適宜省略する。 Hereinafter, the adjustment method of the camera device 1 of the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment. In addition, about the component same as Embodiment 1, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.
 本実施形態では、カメラ装置1とは異なるカメラ装置800を用いて、カメラ装置1のカメラモジュール3の傾きを調整する(図7参照)。 In this embodiment, the tilt of the camera module 3 of the camera apparatus 1 is adjusted using a camera apparatus 800 different from the camera apparatus 1 (see FIG. 7).
 本実施形態では、カメラモジュール3を撮像するように、カメラ装置800を設置する。このとき、カメラ装置800の光軸1eと、カメラモジュール3が中立状態である場合のカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dとが一致するように、カメラ装置800は設置される。具体的には、カメラ装置800の撮像領域の中心にカメラモジュール3が中立状態である場合のカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dが位置するように、カメラ装置800は設置される。 In the present embodiment, the camera device 800 is installed so as to image the camera module 3. At this time, the camera apparatus 800 is installed so that the optical axis 1e of the camera apparatus 800 and the design optical axis 1d of the camera apparatus 1 when the camera module 3 is in the neutral state coincide. Specifically, the camera device 800 is installed such that the design optical axis 1d of the camera device 1 when the camera module 3 is in the neutral state is located at the center of the imaging region of the camera device 800.
 検出処理において、カメラ装置800は、カメラ装置1のカメラモジュール3を撮像し、撮像した画像を用いてカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1d(カメラ装置800の光軸1e)に対してチルティング方向におけるカメラモジュール3の光軸1aの傾き、及びパンニング方向におけるカメラモジュール3の光軸1aの傾きを求める。 In the detection process, the camera device 800 images the camera module 3 of the camera device 1 and tilts the optical axis 1d (the optical axis 1e of the camera device 800) on the design of the camera device 1 using the captured image. The inclination of the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3 in the direction and the inclination of the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3 in the panning direction are obtained.
 調整処理において、カメラ装置800は、検出処理が求めたチルティング方向におけるカメラモジュール3の光軸1aの傾き(傾き角度)に応じた調整部5aの厚みの情報(第1調整量)、及びチルティング方向におけるカメラモジュール3の光軸1aの傾き(傾き角度)に応じた調整部5bの厚みの情報(第2調整量)を表示する。作業員は、表示装置に表示された第1調整量に応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)を、磁気ヨークホルダ740と本体部51との間、及び磁気ヨークホルダ750と本体部51との間に設ける。さらに、作業員は、表示装置に表示された第2調整量に応じたスペーサ(調整部5b)を、磁気ヨークホルダ741と本体部51との間、及び磁気ヨークホルダ751と本体部51との間に設ける。 In the adjustment process, the camera device 800 includes information on the thickness (first adjustment amount) of the adjustment unit 5a according to the inclination (tilt angle) of the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3 in the tilting direction obtained by the detection process, and the chill. Information on the thickness (second adjustment amount) of the adjustment unit 5b corresponding to the inclination (inclination angle) of the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3 in the tilting direction is displayed. The worker provides a spacer (adjustment unit 5 a) corresponding to the first adjustment amount displayed on the display device between the magnetic yoke holder 740 and the main body 51 and between the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the main body 51. Further, the worker inserts a spacer (adjustment unit 5 b) corresponding to the second adjustment amount displayed on the display device between the magnetic yoke holder 741 and the main body 51 and between the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the main body 51.

 その後、再度、カメラ装置800は、カメラモジュール3を撮像する。カメラモジュール3の光軸1aが、カメラ装置800の光軸1e、つまりカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dと一致するまで、上記処理(検出処理、調整処理)を繰り返す。言い換えると、カメラモジュール3のレンズの中心が、カメラ装置800が撮像した画像の中心に位置するように、上記処理を繰り返す。つまり、調整処理は、無通電時におけるカメラモジュール3の撮像向きが所定方向としてカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dの方向と一致するように、カメラモジュール3を調整する。 Thereafter, the camera device 800 captures the camera module 3 again. The above processing (detection processing and adjustment processing) is repeated until the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3 matches the optical axis 1e of the camera device 800, that is, the optical axis 1d of the camera device 1 designed. In other words, the above process is repeated so that the center of the lens of the camera module 3 is positioned at the center of the image captured by the camera device 800. That is, in the adjustment process, the camera module 3 is adjusted so that the imaging direction of the camera module 3 when no power is supplied coincides with the direction of the optical axis 1d in the design of the camera device 1 as a predetermined direction.

 以下、本実施形態のカメラ装置1の調整方法について、実施形態1と異なる点を中心に説明する。なお、実施形態1と同一の構成要素については、同一の符号を付して説明を適宜省略する。 Hereinafter, the adjustment method of the camera device 1 of the present embodiment will be described focusing on differences from the first embodiment.

 本実施形態のカメラ装置1は、カメラモジュール3に対して電源の供給を行う。つまり、第1コイルユニット52、第2コイルユニット53には電流は流れない。本実施形態のカメラ装置1は、カメラモジュール3の傾き調整に用いる土台マーカ850を撮像する(図8A参照)。カメラモジュール3は、撮像した画像に、互いに直交する破線を重畳した撮像画像を画像処理回路を介して表示部(図示しない)に表示させる。なお、破線の交点がカメラモジュール3の光軸1aと交わっている。 The camera device 1 of the present embodiment supplies power to the camera module 3. That is, no current flows through the first coil unit 52 and the second coil unit 53. The camera device 1 of the present embodiment images the base marker 850 used for adjusting the tilt of the camera module 3 (see FIG. 8A). The camera module 3 displays a captured image obtained by superimposing mutually orthogonal broken lines on the captured image on a display unit (not shown) via an image processing circuit. Note that the broken line intersects with the optical axis 1 a of the camera module 3.
 土台マーカ850は、互いに直交する2つの直線851,852を有している(図8B参照)。直線851と直線852との交点853がカメラモジュール3が中立状態である場合のカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dと交わるように、土台マーカ850及びカメラ装置1は設置される(図8A参照)。 The base marker 850 has two straight lines 851 and 852 orthogonal to each other (see FIG. 8B). The base marker 850 and the camera device 1 are installed such that the intersection 853 between the straight line 851 and the straight line 852 intersects the design optical axis 1d of the camera device 1 when the camera module 3 is in a neutral state (see FIG. 8A). ).
 検出処理では、土台マーカ850及びカメラ装置1がそれぞれ配置されると、カメラ装置1のカメラモジュール3は、土台マーカ850を撮像する。図8Cは、図8Aに示すカメラモジュール3の傾き状態において、カメラモジュール3が土台マーカ850を撮像した撮像画像860を示す。撮像画像860は、図8Cに示すように、破線861,862、及び土台マーカ850に記された直線851,852を含む。 In the detection process, when the base marker 850 and the camera device 1 are respectively arranged, the camera module 3 of the camera device 1 images the base marker 850. FIG. 8C shows a captured image 860 in which the camera module 3 captures the base marker 850 in the tilted state of the camera module 3 shown in FIG. 8A. The captured image 860 includes broken lines 861 and 862 and straight lines 851 and 852 marked on the base marker 850, as shown in FIG. 8C.
 図8Aでは、カメラ装置1から土台マーカ850を見た場合においてカメラモジュール3は、土台マーカ850の交点853に対して右下方向に傾いている。言い換えると、土台マーカ―850の交点853は、カメラモジュール3の光軸1aの左上方向に位置している。そのため、直線851,852の交点853は、破線861,862の交点863よりも左上方向にずれている。 In FIG. 8A, when the base marker 850 is viewed from the camera device 1, the camera module 3 is tilted to the lower right with respect to the intersection 853 of the base marker 850. In other words, the intersection 853 of the base marker 850 is located in the upper left direction of the optical axis 1 a of the camera module 3. Therefore, the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 is shifted in the upper left direction from the intersection 863 of the broken lines 861 and 862.
 ここで、撮像画像860の上下方向をチルティング方向を平面上に射影した方向とし、左右方向をパンニング方向を平面上に射影した方向とする。 Here, the up and down direction of the captured image 860 is the direction in which the tilting direction is projected onto the plane, and the left and right direction is the direction in which the panning direction is projected onto the plane.
 調整処理では、作業員は、直線851,852の交点853と破線861,862の交点863との上下方向のずれ量に応じたスペーサ(調整部5a)を、磁気ヨークホルダ740と本体部51との間、及び磁気ヨークホルダ750と本体部51との間に設ける。さらに、作業員は、直線851,852の交点853と破線861,862の交点863との左右方向のずれ量に応じたスペーサ(調整部5b)を、磁気ヨークホルダ741と本体部51との間、及び磁気ヨークホルダ751と本体部51との間に設ける。 In the adjustment process, the worker sets a spacer (adjustment unit 5a) between the magnetic yoke holder 740 and the main body 51 according to the amount of vertical displacement between the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 and the intersection 863 of the broken lines 861 and 862. And between the magnetic yoke holder 750 and the main body 51. Further, the worker can insert a spacer (adjustment part 5b) between the magnetic yoke holder 741 and the main body part 51 in accordance with the amount of horizontal displacement between the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 and the intersection 863 of the broken lines 861 and 862. And provided between the magnetic yoke holder 751 and the main body 51.
 その後、再度、カメラ装置1は、土台マーカ850を撮像する。カメラモジュール3の光軸1a、つまり破線861,862の交点863が、土台マーカ850の直線851,852の交点853と一致する撮像画像870(図8D参照)が得られるまで、上記処理(検出処理、調整処理)を繰り返す。つまり、調整処理は、無通電時におけるカメラモジュール3の撮像向きが所定方向としてカメラ装置1の設計上の光軸1dの方向と一致するように、カメラモジュール3を調整している。 Thereafter, the camera device 1 again images the base marker 850. Until the captured image 870 (see FIG. 8D) in which the optical axis 1a of the camera module 3, that is, the intersection point 863 of the broken lines 861, 862, coincides with the intersection point 853 of the straight lines 851, 852 of the base marker 850 is obtained (detection process). Repeat the adjustment process. That is, in the adjustment process, the camera module 3 is adjusted so that the imaging direction of the camera module 3 when no power is supplied matches the direction of the optical axis 1d in the design of the camera device 1 as a predetermined direction.
 なお、調整処理において、カメラモジュール3は、撮像画像に加えて、直線851,852の交点853と破線861,862の交点863との上下方向のずれ量に応じた調整部5aの厚みの情報、及び交点853と交点863との左右方向のずれ量に応じた調整部5bの厚みの情報を、表示部に表示させてもよい。 In the adjustment process, the camera module 3 includes information on the thickness of the adjustment unit 5a in accordance with the amount of vertical displacement between the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 and the intersection 863 of the broken lines 861 and 862, in addition to the captured image. In addition, information on the thickness of the adjustment unit 5b corresponding to the amount of deviation in the left-right direction between the intersection point 853 and the intersection point 863 may be displayed on the display unit.
 なお、実施形態3では、直線851,852の交点853と破線861,862の交点863との上下方向及び左右方向のずれを目視して、調整を行う構成としたが、この構成に限定されない。例えば、カメラモジュール3又は撮像画像を表示する表示部を備える装置(表示装置)が、撮像画像を用いて自動で直線851,852の交点853と、光軸1aが土台マーカ850と交わる点とにおける上下方向及び左右方向のずれ量を自動で取得する機能を有してもよい。この場合、破線861,862の表示は不要になる。当該機能を有するカメラモジュール3又は表示装置は、下方向のずれ量に応じた調整部5aの厚みの情報、及び左右方向のずれ量に応じた調整部5bの厚みの情報を表示する。 In the third embodiment, the adjustment is performed by visually observing the vertical and horizontal shifts between the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 and the intersection 863 of the broken lines 861 and 862. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, the camera module 3 or a device (display device) including a display unit that displays a captured image automatically uses the captured image at the intersection 853 of the straight lines 851 and 852 and the point where the optical axis 1a intersects the base marker 850. You may have the function to acquire automatically the deviation | shift amount of an up-down direction and a left-right direction. In this case, the display of the broken lines 861 and 862 becomes unnecessary. The camera module 3 or the display device having the function displays information on the thickness of the adjustment unit 5a according to the downward shift amount and information on the thickness of the adjustment unit 5b according to the horizontal shift amount.
 (変形例)
 以下に、変形例について列記する。なお、以下に説明する変形例は、上記各実施形態と適宜組み合わせて適用可能である。
(Modification)
Below, modifications are listed. Note that the modifications described below can be applied in appropriate combination with the above embodiments.
 各実施形態では、アクチュエータ2(カメラ装置1)は、一対の第1磁気ヨーク710、一対の第2磁気ヨーク711、2つの第1磁気ヨーク710にそれぞれ対向する2つ第1駆動磁石620、及び2つの第2磁気ヨーク711にそれぞれ対向する2つ第2駆動磁石621を有する構成とした。つまり、アクチュエータ2(カメラ装置1)は、4つの磁気ヨークと、4つの駆動磁石を有する構成としたが、この構成に限定されない。アクチュエータ2(カメラ装置1)は、2つ以上の磁気ヨークと、当該2つ以上の磁気ヨークにそれぞれ対向する2つ以上の駆動磁石を有する構成としてもよい。この場合、2つ以上の磁気ヨークは、回転の中心点を中心とした円周上に等間隔に配置される。 In each embodiment, the actuator 2 (camera apparatus 1) includes a pair of first magnetic yokes 710, a pair of second magnetic yokes 711, two first drive magnets 620 that face the first magnetic yokes 710, and The configuration has two second drive magnets 621 respectively facing the two second magnetic yokes 711. That is, the actuator 2 (camera device 1) has a configuration including four magnetic yokes and four drive magnets, but is not limited to this configuration. The actuator 2 (camera device 1) may include two or more magnetic yokes and two or more drive magnets facing the two or more magnetic yokes. In this case, the two or more magnetic yokes are arranged at equal intervals on the circumference around the center point of rotation.
 例えば、アクチュエータ2(カメラ装置1)は、3つの磁気ヨークと、当該3つの磁気ヨークにそれぞれ対向する3つの駆動磁石を有する構成としてもよい。このとき、3つの磁気ヨークは、回転の中心点を中心とした円周上に120度ごとに配置される。3つの磁気ヨークの各々に巻かれたコイルに流れる電流を制御して、カメラモジュール3(可動ユニット10)をチルティング方向及びパンニング方向に回転させてもよい。つまり、3つの磁気ヨークの各々に巻かれたコイルに流れる電流を制御して、カメラモジュール3(可動ユニット10)を、上述した軸1b及び軸1cの各々を中心に回転させてもよい。 For example, the actuator 2 (camera device 1) may include three magnetic yokes and three drive magnets that face the three magnetic yokes. At this time, the three magnetic yokes are arranged every 120 degrees on the circumference centered on the center point of rotation. The camera module 3 (movable unit 10) may be rotated in the tilting direction and the panning direction by controlling the current flowing in the coil wound around each of the three magnetic yokes. That is, the current flowing through the coils wound around each of the three magnetic yokes may be controlled to rotate the camera module 3 (movable unit 10) about the shaft 1b and the shaft 1c described above.
 アクチュエータ2(カメラ装置1)は、3つの磁気ヨークと、3つの駆動磁石を有している場合のチルティング方向に対するカメラモジュール3の傾き及びパンニング方向に対するカメラモジュール3の傾きの調整方法について、説明する。この場合、カメラ装置1のマイクロコントローラ94は、チルティング方向に対するカメラモジュール3の傾き角度とパンニング方向に対するカメラモジュール3の傾き角度との組と、調整部として各磁気ヨークに対して設けるべきスペーサの厚みの情報とを記憶している。マイクロコントローラ94は、カメラモジュール3の傾きの検出結果に応じた厚みの情報を表示部(図示せず)に表示する。作業員は、表示装置に表示された磁気ヨークごとの厚みのスペーサを、対応する磁気ヨークの磁気ヨークホルダと本体部51との間に設ける。 The actuator 2 (camera device 1) has three magnetic yokes and three drive magnets, and explains how to adjust the tilt of the camera module 3 with respect to the tilting direction and the tilt of the camera module 3 with respect to the panning direction. To do. In this case, the microcontroller 94 of the camera apparatus 1 includes a set of a tilt angle of the camera module 3 with respect to the tilting direction and a tilt angle of the camera module 3 with respect to the panning direction, and spacers to be provided for each magnetic yoke as an adjustment unit. Information on thickness is stored. The microcontroller 94 displays thickness information according to the detection result of the tilt of the camera module 3 on a display unit (not shown). The worker provides a spacer having a thickness for each magnetic yoke displayed on the display device between the magnetic yoke holder of the corresponding magnetic yoke and the main body 51.
 また、カメラモジュール3に対する回転の軸は、軸1b、軸1cに限定されない。2つ以上の磁気ヨーク(2つ以上の駆動磁石)の対向方向に応じて決定される軸であってもよい。例えば、3つの磁気ヨーク(3つの駆動磁石)がカメラ装置1に設けられる場合、1つの磁気ヨークに巻かれたコイルに電流を流すことで回転が生じる際の回転軸を軸1bに相当する軸としてもよい。残り2つの磁気ヨーク(残り2つの駆動磁石)のうち1つの磁気ヨークに巻かれたコイルに電流を流すことで回転が生じる際の回転軸を軸1cに相当する軸としてもよい。 Further, the axis of rotation with respect to the camera module 3 is not limited to the axis 1b and the axis 1c. The axis | shaft determined according to the opposing direction of two or more magnetic yokes (two or more drive magnets) may be sufficient. For example, when three magnetic yokes (three drive magnets) are provided in the camera apparatus 1, an axis corresponding to the axis 1 b is a rotation axis when rotation is caused by passing a current through a coil wound around one magnetic yoke. It is good. A rotation axis when rotation is caused by passing a current through a coil wound around one magnetic yoke of the remaining two magnetic yokes (remaining two drive magnets) may be an axis corresponding to the axis 1c.
 各実施形態では、ヨーク面715(716)と磁石面625(626)との隙間が均一とならない場合として、第1磁気ヨーク710(第2磁気ヨーク711)の取り付け時、又は第1駆動磁石620(第2駆動磁石621)の取り付け時を想定したが、この想定に限定されない。第1駆動磁石620の磁石面625の磁気が均一でない場合においても、上記調整機構5を設けることは有効である。なぜなら、磁石面625の磁気が均一でない場合には、磁石面625において第1磁気ヨーク710を吸引する力が均一とはならないからである。そのため、磁石面625のうち磁気が比較的強い部位において、第1磁気ヨーク710とより強く引き合うので、その結果、カメラモジュール3がチルティング方向に沿って回転する。そこで、上述した調整機構5(調整部5a)を設けることで、無通電時であってもカメラモジュール3を中立状態とすることができる。また、第2駆動磁石621の磁石面626の磁気が均一でない場合においても、磁石面626において第2磁気ヨーク711を吸引する力が均一とはならない。そのため、カメラモジュール3がパンニング方向に沿って回転する。そこで、調整機構5(調整部5b)を設けることで、無通電時であってもカメラモジュール3を中立状態とすることができる。 In each embodiment, the case where the gap between the yoke surface 715 (716) and the magnet surface 625 (626) is not uniform is assumed when the first magnetic yoke 710 (second magnetic yoke 711) is attached or the first driving magnet 620. Although it is assumed that the (second drive magnet 621) is attached, the present invention is not limited to this assumption. Even when the magnetism of the magnet surface 625 of the first drive magnet 620 is not uniform, it is effective to provide the adjusting mechanism 5. This is because, when the magnetism of the magnet surface 625 is not uniform, the force for attracting the first magnetic yoke 710 at the magnet surface 625 is not uniform. Therefore, the magnetic surface 625 attracts more strongly with the first magnetic yoke 710 at a portion where the magnetism is relatively strong. As a result, the camera module 3 rotates along the tilting direction. Therefore, by providing the adjustment mechanism 5 (adjustment unit 5a) described above, the camera module 3 can be in a neutral state even when no power is supplied. Even when the magnetism of the magnet surface 626 of the second drive magnet 621 is not uniform, the force for attracting the second magnetic yoke 711 at the magnet surface 626 is not uniform. Therefore, the camera module 3 rotates along the panning direction. Therefore, by providing the adjustment mechanism 5 (adjustment unit 5b), the camera module 3 can be in a neutral state even when no power is supplied.
 各実施形態のアクチュエータ2は、カメラ装置1に適用した構成としたが、この構成に限定されない。アクチュエータ2は、レーザポインタ、照明器具、プロジェクタ等に適用してもよい。 The actuator 2 of each embodiment is configured to be applied to the camera device 1, but is not limited to this configuration. The actuator 2 may be applied to a laser pointer, a lighting fixture, a projector, or the like.
 各実施形態では、第1遊嵌部材602が凹部の内周面を第1遊嵌面605として有し、第2遊嵌部材501が凸状球面を有する第2遊嵌面505を有する構成としたが、この構成に限定されない。第1遊嵌部材602が、凸状球面を有し、第2遊嵌部材501が凹部を有する構成としてもよい。 In each embodiment, the first loose-fitting member 602 has the inner peripheral surface of the recess as the first loose-fitting surface 605, and the second loose-fitting member 501 has a second loose-fitting surface 505 having a convex spherical surface. However, it is not limited to this configuration. The first loosely fitting member 602 may have a convex spherical surface, and the second loosely fitting member 501 may have a concave portion.
 各実施形態では、調整部5aと調整部5bとは、個別の部材としたが、調整部5aと調整部5bとは一体型の部材であってもよい。 In each embodiment, the adjustment unit 5a and the adjustment unit 5b are separate members, but the adjustment unit 5a and the adjustment unit 5b may be integrated members.
 光軸1aを中心にロール方向に可動ユニット10を回転させる第3駆動部は、一対の磁気ヨークホルダ740,750と、一対の磁気ヨークホルダ741,751と、一対の第1駆動磁石620と、一対の第2駆動磁石621と、一対の第1磁気ヨーク710と、一対の第2磁気ヨーク711と、一対の駆動コイル730と、一対の駆動コイル731とを含む構成とした。つまり、第3駆動部が、第1駆動部の構成要素、及び第2駆動部の構成要素を共用する構成とした。しかしながら、この構成に限定されない。第3駆動部は、ロール方向に可動ユニット10を回転させるために、第1駆動部の構成要素、及び第2駆動部の構成要素とは、異なる構成要素、すなわち他の磁気ヨークホルダとしての第3磁気ヨークホルダと、他の駆動磁石としての第3駆動磁石と、他の磁気ヨークとしての第3磁気ヨークと、他の駆動コイルとを有してもよい。この場合、第3磁気ヨークホルダと、本体部51との間に調整部が設けられる(挟まれる)。 The third drive unit that rotates the movable unit 10 in the roll direction around the optical axis 1a includes a pair of magnetic yoke holders 740 and 750, a pair of magnetic yoke holders 741 and 751, a pair of first drive magnets 620, and a pair of The configuration includes a second drive magnet 621, a pair of first magnetic yokes 710, a pair of second magnetic yokes 711, a pair of drive coils 730, and a pair of drive coils 731. That is, the third drive unit is configured to share the components of the first drive unit and the second drive unit. However, it is not limited to this configuration. In order to rotate the movable unit 10 in the roll direction, the third drive unit is different from the component of the first drive unit and the component of the second drive unit, that is, the third magnetic yoke holder as a third magnetic yoke holder. You may have a magnetic yoke holder, the 3rd drive magnet as another drive magnet, the 3rd magnetic yoke as another magnetic yoke, and another drive coil. In this case, an adjustment unit is provided (sandwiched) between the third magnetic yoke holder and the main body 51.
 (まとめ)
 以上説明したように、第1の態様のアクチュエータ(2)は、回転式の可動ユニット(10)と、固定ユニット(20)と、駆動部(30)と、部材(例えば調整部5a,5b)と、を備える。可動ユニット(10)は、駆動対象を保持し、第1遊嵌面(605)を有する。固定ユニット(20)は、第1遊嵌面(605)に嵌め合せる第2遊嵌面(505)とベース(本体部51)を有する。駆動部(30)は、複数ペアと、複数のホルダ(磁気ヨークホルダ740,741,750,751)を有する。複数ペアの各々は、駆動磁石(第1駆動磁石620、第2駆動磁石621)と駆動磁石に対向して配置された磁気ヨーク(第1磁気ヨーク710、第2磁気ヨーク711)とからなる。駆動部(30)は、固定ユニット(20)に対して可動ユニット(10)を回転可能とする。第1遊嵌面(605)及び第2遊嵌面(505)の一方が凹部を有し、他方が凸状球面を有する。複数のホルダは、第1ホルダ(所定のホルダ)を含む。複数ペアは、第1ペア(所定のペア)を含む。第1ペアは、第1駆動磁石(所定の駆動磁石)と第1磁気ヨーク(所定の磁気ヨーク)とを含む。第1磁気ヨークは、第1ホルダによってベースに固定される。第1駆動磁石は、第1軸(所定の軸(例えば軸1b))を中心として可動ユニット(10)を回転させる。部材は、第1ホルダとベースとの間に挟まれている。
(Summary)
As described above, the actuator (2) according to the first aspect includes the rotary movable unit (10), the fixed unit (20), the driving unit (30), and the members (for example, the adjusting units 5a and 5b). And comprising. The movable unit (10) holds a drive target and has a first loose fitting surface (605). The fixing unit (20) has a second loose fitting surface (505) to be fitted to the first loose fitting surface (605) and a base (main body portion 51). The drive unit (30) includes a plurality of pairs and a plurality of holders ( magnetic yoke holders 740, 741, 750, 751). Each of the plurality of pairs includes a drive magnet (first drive magnet 620, second drive magnet 621) and a magnetic yoke (first magnetic yoke 710, second magnetic yoke 711) disposed to face the drive magnet. The drive unit (30) allows the movable unit (10) to rotate with respect to the fixed unit (20). One of the first loose fitting surface (605) and the second loose fitting surface (505) has a concave portion, and the other has a convex spherical surface. The plurality of holders include a first holder (predetermined holder). The multiple pairs include a first pair (predetermined pair). The first pair includes a first drive magnet (predetermined drive magnet) and a first magnetic yoke (predetermined magnetic yoke). The first magnetic yoke is fixed to the base by the first holder. The first drive magnet rotates the movable unit (10) about a first axis (a predetermined axis (for example, the axis 1b)). The member is sandwiched between the first holder and the base.
 この構成によると、部材を設けて、ベースと少なくとも1つのホルダとの間に挟むことで、可動ユニット(10)の傾き(駆動対象の傾き)を調整することができる。その結果、無通電時に可動ユニット(10)が所定方向に傾く、つまり無通電時に可動ユニット(10)が保持する駆動対象が所定方向に傾く可能性を低くすることができる。 According to this configuration, the inclination of the movable unit (10) (the inclination of the drive target) can be adjusted by providing a member and sandwiching it between the base and at least one holder. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the movable unit (10) tilts in a predetermined direction when no power is supplied, that is, the drive target held by the movable unit (10) does not tilt in the predetermined direction when no power is supplied.
 第2の態様のアクチュエータ(2)では、第1の態様において、複数のホルダは、第2ホルダ(所定のホルダとしての第1ホルダとは異なる第2ホルダ)を含む。複数ペアは、第2ペア(所定のペアとしての第1のペアとは異なる第2のペア)を含む。第2ペアは、第2駆動磁石と第2磁気ヨークとを含む。第2駆動磁石は、第1軸(所定の軸としての第1軸)とは異なる第2軸(例えば、軸1c)を中心として可動ユニット(10)を回転させる。部材は、第2ホルダとベースとの間に挟まれている。 In the actuator (2) of the second aspect, in the first aspect, the plurality of holders include a second holder (a second holder different from the first holder as the predetermined holder). The plural pairs include a second pair (a second pair different from the first pair as the predetermined pair). The second pair includes a second drive magnet and a second magnetic yoke. The second drive magnet rotates the movable unit (10) around a second axis (for example, the axis 1c) different from the first axis (the first axis as the predetermined axis). The member is sandwiched between the second holder and the base.
 この構成によると、無通電時に可動ユニット(10)が第2軸を中心として回転する方向に傾く、つまり無通電時に可動ユニット(10)が保持する駆動対象が第2軸を中心として回転する方向に傾く可能性を低くすることができる。 According to this configuration, the movable unit (10) is tilted in the direction of rotation about the second axis when there is no current, that is, the drive target held by the movable unit (10) is rotated about the second axis when there is no current. It is possible to reduce the possibility of tilting.
 第3の態様のアクチュエータ(2)では、第2の態様において、第1軸と第2軸とは直交している。 In the actuator (2) of the third aspect, in the second aspect, the first axis and the second axis are orthogonal.
 この構成によると、第1軸と第2軸とが直交していることで、それぞれの軸に対する傾きの誤差が等分されるため、傾きの調整が比較的容易に行うことができる。 According to this configuration, since the first axis and the second axis are orthogonal to each other, an error in inclination with respect to each axis is equally divided, so that the inclination can be adjusted relatively easily.
 第4の態様のアクチュエータ(2)では、第3の態様において、複数のホルダは第3ホルダを含む。複数ペアは第3ペアを含む。第3ペアは、第3駆動磁石と第3磁気ヨークを含む。部材は、第3ホルダとベースとの間に挟まれている。第3駆動磁石は、可動ユニット(10)が中立状態である場合には、第1軸と第2軸とに対して直交する第3軸(光軸1a)を中心として可動ユニット(10)を回転させる。 In the actuator (2) of the fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the plurality of holders include a third holder. The plurality of pairs includes a third pair. The third pair includes a third drive magnet and a third magnetic yoke. The member is sandwiched between the third holder and the base. When the movable unit (10) is in a neutral state, the third drive magnet moves the movable unit (10) around the third axis (optical axis 1a) orthogonal to the first axis and the second axis. Rotate.
 この構成によると、無通電時に可動ユニットが第3軸を中心として回転する方向に傾くこと可能性を低くすることができる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the movable unit tilts in the direction of rotation about the third axis when no power is supplied.
 第5の態様のアクチュエータ(2)では、第2~第4のいずれかの態様において、第2軸は、第2駆動磁石と、第2磁気ヨークとの対向方向に直交する。 In the actuator (2) of the fifth aspect, in any one of the second to fourth aspects, the second axis is orthogonal to the facing direction of the second drive magnet and the second magnetic yoke.
 この構成によると、駆動磁石の対向方向に応じた軸(第2軸)に対するカメラモジュール(3)の傾きを調整することができる。 According to this configuration, it is possible to adjust the inclination of the camera module (3) with respect to the axis (second axis) according to the facing direction of the drive magnet.
