Description

  The present invention relates to a zoom lens barrel.

  Conventionally, a fixed cylinder that extends in the axial direction with substantially the same diameter, a rectilinear cylinder that can move in the optical axis direction with respect to the fixed cylinder, and a zoom cylinder that rotates in the optical axis direction with respect to the fixed cylinder. A lens barrel having a configuration including a cam barrel that is moved and converted into a driving force is used. For such a lens barrel, for example, a position sensor that optically detects the position of the focus lens as described in Patent Document 1 is used. However, the position sensor that optically detects the position of the focus lens as described above has problems such as deterioration with time and increase in power consumption because the position is electrically detected. Therefore, a long sensor main body extending in the optical axis direction and a protrusion that can move in the optical axis direction with respect to the sensor main body are provided, and the position of the focus lens is adjusted by interlocking the protrusion with the movement of the rectilinear cylinder. A position sensor for detection is also widely used.

In this way, the third lens group C, the fourth lens group D, and the fifth lens group E move in the optical axis direction in conjunction with the rotation of the zoom operation ring 40.

  When the first cam cylinder 30 rotates, the transmission piece 111 implanted in the interlocking lever 110 is engaged with the interlocking lever rectilinear guide groove 32 formed in the first cam cylinder 30 and extending in the optical axis direction. Therefore, together with the first rectilinear cylinder 50, the interlocking lever 110 moves in the optical axis direction while rotating around the optical axis. The rotation and movement in the optical axis direction of the interlocking lever 110 are transmitted to the second cam cylinder 70 and the third cam cylinder 90.

  When the second cam cylinder 70 is rotated, the second rectilinear cylinder interlocking piece 61 planted on the inner surface of the second rectilinear cylinder 60 is replaced with the second rectilinear cylinder cam groove 71 of the second cam cylinder 70 and the first guide. Since the cylinder 80 is engaged with the second rectilinear cylinder rectilinear guide groove 81, the second rectilinear cylinder 60 moves in the optical axis direction with respect to the first guide cylinder 80. In this manner, the first lens group A moves in the optical axis direction in conjunction with the rotation of the zoom operation ring 40.

In this manner, the second lens group B moves in the optical axis direction in conjunction with the rotation of the zoom operation ring 40.

  The rotation of the first cam cylinder 30 is transmitted to the zoom interlocking ring 170 via the transmission piece 171. When the zoom interlocking ring 170 rotates, the protrusion 24A of the position detection sensor 24 is guided in the guide groove 172 formed in the zoom interlocking ring 170 and is moved in the optical axis direction. Thus, the rotation angle of the zoom interlocking ring 170, that is, the rotation angle of the first cam cylinder 30 is detected based on the position of the protrusion 24A detected by the position detection sensor 24.

Next, the focus operation in the lens barrel 10 of this embodiment will be described.
The distance to the object to be imaged measured by the distance measuring device (not shown) and the rotation angle of the first cam cylinder 30 detected by the position detection sensor 24 are input to the control device. Then, the control device drives the autofocus motor 132 so that an image is formed on the optical element built in the camera body based on the input distance to the photographing target and the rotation angle of the first cam cylinder 30.

  When the autofocus motor 132 is rotated, the fourth lens group D together with the fourth lens group frame 140 moves along the guide rail 131 in the optical axis direction with respect to the third lens holding cylinder 100. Thereby, autofocusing can be performed.

  In addition, the fourth lens group frame 140 can be moved manually by rotating a focus operation ring 180 provided on the outer periphery of the lens barrel 10 to move the optical axis of the fourth lens group frame 140. Such a manual focus mechanism is incorporated in a space formed in the outer peripheral portion of the rear fixed cylinder 20 in the lens barrel 10.

  According to the lens barrel 10 of the present embodiment, since the feeding mechanism is provided in front of the aperture mechanism 101, a space can be secured at the rear part of the lens barrel 10. Accordingly, the long position detection sensor 24 can be incorporated into the lens barrel 10 without increasing the diameter of the lens barrel 10.

  Further, the integrated first cam cylinder 30 and zoom operation ring 40 are directly provided on the outer periphery of the fixed cylinder 20. Thereby, a large space in the fixed cylinder 20 can be secured, and the feeding mechanism can be arranged in the fixed cylinder 20.

  Further, since the diameter of the fixed cylinder 20 gradually decreases toward the objective side, a space can be secured in the outer peripheral part of the eyepiece side of the lens barrel 10, and a mechanism such as a manual focus mechanism is provided in this part. It can be incorporated.
