That is, the step 13c of the press ring 13 is applied to the end 12g of the lens frame 12 along the optical axis direction.
 この状態において、防水パッキン11は、第1レンズ21及び第2レンズ22に挟まれることで変形し、第1接触面21a、第2接触面22a及び第3接触面12fと密着する。すなわち、防水パッキン11は、第1レンズ21、第2レンズ22、間隔環16、第3レンズ23、及び第4レンズ24を光軸方向に沿って付勢する。これにより、第1レンズ21、第2レンズ22、第3レンズ23、及び第4レンズ24を防水パッキン11の復元力によって固定することができるので、レンズを歪みにくくすることができる。 に お い て In this state, the waterproof packing 11 is deformed by being sandwiched between the first lens 21 and the second lens 22, and comes into close contact with the first contact surface 21a, the second contact surface 22a, and the third contact surface 12f. That is, the waterproof packing 11 urges the first lens 21, the second lens 22, the spacing ring 16, the third lens 23, and the fourth lens 24 along the optical axis direction. Accordingly, the first lens 21, the second lens 22, the third lens 23, and the fourth lens 24 can be fixed by the restoring force of the waterproof packing 11, so that the lenses can be hardly distorted.
 また、防水パッキン11は、筒部12aを径方向外側に付勢する。これにより、防水パッキン11が、筒部12aにおける第3接触面12fと一周にわたって接触するとともに、第1レンズ21における第1接触面21aと一周にわたって接触するので、第1レンズ21のリア側へ水分が侵入することを防ぐことができる。 防水 The waterproof packing 11 urges the cylindrical portion 12a outward in the radial direction. As a result, the waterproof packing 11 comes into contact with the third contact surface 12f of the cylindrical portion 12a over the entire circumference, and also makes contact with the first contact surface 21a of the first lens 21 over the entire circumference. Can be prevented from entering.
 また、第1レンズ21は、防水パッキン11によって光軸方向に沿ってフロント側に付勢されながらフロント側の端部21bが押さえ環13の段差13cと当接する。つまり、レンズ枠12に剛的に固定された押さえ環13に第1レンズ21を光軸方向に押さえつけることができるので、第1レンズ21の光軸方向の位置を押さえ環13の段差13cの位置に基づき定めることができる。これにより、第1レンズ21をレンズ枠12における設計通りの位置に配置することができる。 端 Furthermore, the front end 21b of the first lens 21 abuts on the step 13c of the holding ring 13 while being urged to the front side along the optical axis direction by the waterproof packing 11. That is, the first lens 21 can be pressed in the optical axis direction against the holding ring 13 rigidly fixed to the lens frame 12, so that the position of the first lens 21 in the optical axis direction is the position of the step 13 c of the holding ring 13. It can be determined based on. Thereby, the first lens 21 can be arranged at the designed position on the lens frame 12.
 また、第4レンズ24は、防水パッキン11によって光軸方向に沿ってリア側に付勢されながらレンズ枠12の段差12bと当接する。つまり、レンズ枠12そのものに第4レンズ24を光軸方向に押さえつけることができるので、第4レンズ24、ならびに第4レンズ24と直接または間接に接する第2レンズ22及び第3レンズ23の光軸方向の位置をレンズ枠12の段差12bの位置に基づき定めることができる。これにより、第2レンズ22、第3レンズ23及び第4レンズ24をレンズ枠12における設計通りの位置に配置することができる。 The fourth lens 24 comes into contact with the step 12b of the lens frame 12 while being urged rearward along the optical axis direction by the waterproof packing 11. That is, since the fourth lens 24 can be pressed against the lens frame 12 in the optical axis direction, the optical axes of the fourth lens 24 and the second lens 22 and the third lens 23 that are in direct or indirect contact with the fourth lens 24 are provided. The position in the direction can be determined based on the position of the step 12b of the lens frame 12. Thereby, the second lens 22, the third lens 23, and the fourth lens 24 can be arranged at the designed positions in the lens frame 12.
 なお、レンズ枠12のフロント側の端部12g、及び第1レンズ21のフロント側の端部21bが同じ段差13cと当接する構成、すなわち端部12g及び端部21bが光軸方向について同じ位置で押さえ環13と接する構成について説明したが、端部12g及び端部21bは、それぞれ異なる位置で押さえ環13と接する構成であってもよい。具体的には、たとえば、段差13cの代わりに、フロント側に位置する段差及びリア側に位置する段差が設けられる場合において、端部21bが、フロント側に位置する段差と当接し、端部12gが、リア側に位置する段差と当接する構成であってもよい。 The front end 12g of the lens frame 12 and the front end 21b of the first lens 21 are in contact with the same step 13c, that is, the end 12g and the end 21b are at the same position in the optical axis direction. Although the configuration in contact with the press ring 13 has been described, the end 12g and the end 21b may be in contact with the press ring 13 at different positions. Specifically, for example, when a step located on the front side and a step located on the rear side are provided instead of the step 13c, the end 21b abuts on the step located on the front side, and the end 12g However, it may be configured to abut on a step located on the rear side.
 上記構成のレンズバレルによれば、たとえば、環境温度の変化によって第1レンズ21が膨張したり収縮したりする場合においても、第1レンズ21の第1接触面21a及び第2レンズ22の第2接触面22aを付勢する防水パッキン11が変形することで、第1レンズ21の膨張または収縮を吸収することができる。これにより、レンズに加わる負荷を軽減することができるので、レンズの歪、レンズの割れ、及びレンズコーティングのクラックなどを防ぐことができる。また、防水パッキン11が筒部12aをさらに付勢することで、第1レンズ21と筒部12aとの間を封止することができるので、レンズ枠12の内部への水分の侵入をより確実に防ぐことができる。すなわち、1つの防水パッキン11によって歪対策及び防水対策の両方を実現することができる。したがって、簡易な構成で、熱膨張によるレンズへの負荷を軽減しながら防水性を高めることができる。 According to the lens barrel having the above-described configuration, for example, even when the first lens 21 expands or contracts due to a change in environmental temperature, the first contact surface 21a of the first lens 21 and the second contact The deformation or deformation of the waterproof packing 11 for urging the contact surface 22a can absorb the expansion or contraction of the first lens 21. As a result, the load applied to the lens can be reduced, so that distortion of the lens, cracking of the lens, cracking of the lens coating, and the like can be prevented. In addition, since the waterproof packing 11 further urges the cylindrical portion 12a, the space between the first lens 21 and the cylindrical portion 12a can be sealed. Can be prevented. That is, both the distortion countermeasure and the waterproof countermeasure can be realized by one waterproof packing 11. Therefore, with a simple configuration, the waterproofness can be enhanced while reducing the load on the lens due to thermal expansion.
 また、上記構成のレンズバレルでは、第2レンズ22が、第1レンズ21に対する被写体の反対側に位置するため、第1レンズ21に対する被写体の反対側への水分の侵入を防ぐことができる。 In addition, in the lens barrel having the above-described configuration, the second lens 22 is located on the opposite side of the subject from the first lens 21, so that moisture can be prevented from entering the opposite side of the subject from the first lens 21.
 また、上記構成のレンズバレルでは、押さえ環13が、レンズ枠12に直接に固定され、第1レンズ21に対する第2レンズ22の反対側に位置するため、レンズ枠12に剛的に固定された押さえ環13に第1レンズ21を光軸方向に押さえつけることができる。これにより、第1レンズ21の光軸方向の位置を押さえ環13に基づき定めることができるので、第1レンズ21をレンズ枠12における設計通りの位置に配置することができる。 In the lens barrel having the above-described configuration, the holding ring 13 is directly fixed to the lens frame 12 and is located on the opposite side of the second lens 22 with respect to the first lens 21, and thus is rigidly fixed to the lens frame 12. The first lens 21 can be pressed against the holding ring 13 in the optical axis direction. Accordingly, the position of the first lens 21 in the optical axis direction can be determined based on the press ring 13, so that the first lens 21 can be arranged at the designed position on the lens frame 12.
 また、上記構成のレンズバレルでは、押さえ環13が、光軸方向に沿ってレンズ枠12に当てつけられるため、レンズ枠12に対する押さえ環13の光軸方向の位置、及びレンズ枠12に対する押さえ環13の傾きなどの精度を向上させることができるので、全ての光学部材が収容されるレンズ枠12の筒部12aの寸法精度を向上させることができる。これにより、レンズ枠12の筒部12aにおける各光学部材の光軸方向の位置の精度を向上させることができるので、高い解像度を有するレンズ系を実現することができる。特に、押さえ環13に当たる第1レンズ21の光軸方向の位置の精度を効果的に向上させることができる。 Further, in the lens barrel having the above-described configuration, since the press ring 13 is applied to the lens frame 12 along the optical axis direction, the position of the press ring 13 relative to the lens frame 12 in the optical axis direction and the press ring 13 Can be improved, and the dimensional accuracy of the cylindrical portion 12a of the lens frame 12 in which all the optical members are accommodated can be improved. Thereby, the accuracy of the position of each optical member in the optical axis direction in the cylindrical portion 12a of the lens frame 12 can be improved, so that a lens system having high resolution can be realized. In particular, it is possible to effectively improve the accuracy of the position in the optical axis direction of the first lens 21 that hits the holding ring 13.
 また、上記構成のレンズバレルでは、第1レンズ21、第2レンズ22、第3レンズ23及び第4レンズ24が、防水パッキン11によって光軸方向に沿って付勢されているため、2つ以上のレンズの歪対策を1つの防水パッキン11によって達成することができる。これにより、部品点数を削減し、レンズバレル1の構造を簡易にすることができるので、レンズバレル1の製造工程が複雑化することを防ぐとともに、製造コストを低減することができる。 Further, in the lens barrel having the above configuration, the first lens 21, the second lens 22, the third lens 23, and the fourth lens 24 are urged along the optical axis direction by the waterproof packing 11, so that two or more lenses are provided. The countermeasure against distortion of the lens can be achieved by one waterproof packing 11. Thereby, the number of parts can be reduced and the structure of the lens barrel 1 can be simplified, so that the manufacturing process of the lens barrel 1 can be prevented from becoming complicated and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
 また、本実施形態のレンズバレルでは、第1レンズ21が、最も被写体側に位置するレンズであるため、第1レンズ21において水分の侵入を防ぐことができるので、レンズ枠12の内部におけるより広い空間を防水することができる。 Further, in the lens barrel of the present embodiment, since the first lens 21 is the lens located closest to the subject, it is possible to prevent water from entering the first lens 21, and thus the first lens 21 is wider than the lens barrel 12. Space can be waterproofed.
