[0009] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. As shown in Fig. 1, a projection device 10 includes a housing 20 in the shape of a substantially rectangular box with its longitudinal direction extending in the left-right direction and having six faces (top face 20a, bottom face 20b, left face 20c, right face 20d, front face 20e, and rear face 20f). The projection device 10 has a projection aperture 11 on the front face 20e side. The projection device 10 emits projection light L from the projection aperture 11. In the following description, the left and right of the projection device 10 refer to the left and right directions relative to the direction in which the projection light L is emitted from the projection aperture 11, and the front and rear refer to the front and rear directions relative to the direction in which the projection light L travels in the projection device 10.

[0010] The housing 20 has an upper case 21 that includes an upper surface 20a and a portion of the right side surface 20d, and a lower case 22 that includes a lower surface 20b (bottom surface) and a portion of the right side surface 20d. The housing 20 has a front panel 23 on the front side, a rear panel 24 on the rear side, and a left panel 25 on the left side. The front panel 23 extends to a left front corner 20g of the housing 20, which has a rounded corner. The front panel 23 also has a projection port opening 23a for the projection port 11, an air intake 23b, and an air exhaust 23c. The rear panel 24 extends to a left rear corner 20h, which has a rounded corner. Although not shown, the rear panel 24 is provided with connection ports such as an air intake and an image input / output connector.

[0011] The edge portions 21a and 22a, which are the connection portions with the right side surface 20d in the upper case 21 and the lower case 22 of the housing 20, are formed in a curved surface shape with an R corner. In addition, the edge portions other than the edge portions 21a and 22a of the housing 20 (for example, the edge portion formed by the upper surface 20a and the left side surface 20c) are substantially right-angled. A connection port for a power plug (not shown) is provided on the right side surface 20d of the lower case 22. Further, an operation panel 21b for performing settings and the like of the projection device 10 is provided on the upper surface 20a of the upper case 21.

[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a lens barrel 80 is housed in the housing 20 of the projection device 10. The lens barrel 80 is provided with adjustment rings 30 (a focus adjustment ring 31 and a zoom adjustment ring 32). The focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 are set to have a predetermined width in the front-rear direction and are formed in a substantially semi-circular arc shape (see FIGS. 3 and 4), and are provided with knurling on the outer periphery. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a substantially rectangular opening 20a1 is provided at the left front corner portion of the upper surface 20a of the housing 20. The opening 20a1 faces the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32.

[0013] As shown in FIG. 3, the left and right edges 201 extending in the front-rear direction of the opening 20a1 are each inclined downward toward the adjustment ring 30. The protruding end portion 202 of the downwardly inclined edge 201 is formed in a flat surface shape and has a gap S of 1 mm or less from the adjustment ring 30. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the front and rear edges 204 extending in the left-right direction of the opening 20a1 are each formed as a horizontal plate-like end surface.

[0014] Adjustment ring fixing devices 50 are respectively attached to the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 facing from the opening 20a1, and the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 are respectively fixed so as not to rotate.

[0015] The projection device 10 in which the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 are fixed by the adjustment ring fixing device 50 so as not to rotate is provided in, for example, an embedded system such as a game machine. In this case, the distance between the screen on which the projection light is projected and the projection device 10 is fixedly set. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to adjust the focus or zoom. Thus, in order to prevent the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 from rotating and shifting during transportation, the focus adjustment ring 31 and the zoom adjustment ring 32 are fixed by the adjustment ring fixing device 50.

[0016] Based on FIGS. 5(a), 5(b), 6(a), and 6(b), the configuration of the adjustment ring fixing device 50 will be described. The adjustment ring fixing device 50 includes a screw 51 (fastening member), a ring trigger member 52 (first fixing member), and a ring lock member 53 (second fixing member). In the present embodiment, a cross-recessed countersunk screw is used as the screw 51. The ring trigger member 52 is formed of a sheet metal material into a plate shape that is long in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens barrel 80 (the left-right direction of the projection device 10; see FIGS. 1 to 4).

[0017] A through screw hole 52a (through hole) is provided substantially at the center of the ring trigger member 52. A female screw portion is formed in the through screw hole 52a, and the screw 51 passes through and is screwed therein. Around the through screw hole 52a, a trigger member central portion 52b formed in a substantially circular shape is provided. From both sides of the trigger member central portion 52b, trigger member inclined portions 52c that are inclined downward with the same width as the short straight line portions 52c1 are provided via short straight line portions 52c1 having a width narrower than the width (diameter) of the trigger member central portion 52b.

[0018] The ring trigger member 52 is provided with trigger member end flat portions 52d that extend outward from the respective trigger member inclined portions 52c. The trigger member end flat portions 52d are formed in a horizontal flat surface shape parallel to the trigger member central portion 52b. The ring trigger member 52 is provided with locking inclined portions 52e (locking portions) that are inclined upward from the respective trigger member end flat portions 52d.

[0019] The ring lock member 53 is formed of a plate-shaped sheet metal material that is long in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens barrel 80, similar to the ring trigger member 52. The ring lock member 53 is formed of a sheet metal material that is wider than the ring trigger member 52. The ring lock member 53 is formed to have substantially the same width as the adjustment ring 30. Further, the plate thickness of the ring lock member 53 is smaller (thinner) than the plate thickness of the ring trigger member 52.

[0020] The ring lock member 53 is provided with a circular concave receiving portion 53a that receives the tip of the screw 51 that is screwed into the through screw hole 52a and restricts the rotation of the adjustment ring 30, and flat lock member central portions 53b extending from both sides of the receiving portion 53a are provided. The lock member central portion 53b is provided with a lock member opening 53b1 through which each trigger member inclined portion 52c of the ring trigger member 52 is inserted. Note that the outer end of the lock member opening 53b1 also extends across the lock member chevron portion 53c described later.

[0021] The ring lock member 53 is provided with lock member chevron portions 53c formed in a chevron shape from both ends of the lock member central portion 53b. Each lock member chevron portion 53c is formed such that the outer portion is longer than the rising portion on the receiving portion 53a side. On the outer portion (outer surface) of each lock member chevron portion 53c, a locked opening 53c1 (locked portion) is provided. Each locking inclined portion 52e of the ring trigger member 52 is inserted and locked in each locked opening 53c1. More specifically, the upper surface of each locking inclined portion 52e abuts against the upper opening edge of the locked opening 53c1, and the locking inclined portion 52e is locked in the locked opening 53c1. Further, the ring lock member 53 is provided with an engaging inclined portion 53d that is connected to the lock member chevron portion 53c and is inclined downward. The engaging inclined portion 53d serves as a housing engaging portion that presses against the housing 20.

[0022] To attach the adjustment ring fastening device 50 to the adjustment ring 30, first, as shown in Fig. 7, insert the engaging inclined portion 53d, which is one of the housing engaging portions, into the gap S between the adjustment ring 30 and either one of the left and right edges 201 of the opening 20a1. Then, push the adjustment ring fastening device 50 in by, for example, pressing down the screw 51 with a finger. This causes the ring lock member 53 to bend, and the other engaging inclined portion 53d slides downward following the inclined outer surface of the other edge 201, and is inserted into the gap S on the other side.

[0023] When the screw 51 is tightened after the engaging inclined portions 53d on both sides are inserted into the gaps S on both sides, the tip of the screw 51 abuts against the receiving portion 53a, and the trigger member central portion 52b (i.e., the ring trigger member 52) where the screw through hole 52a is provided rises. Then, the engaging inclined portion 52e abuts against the edge of the engaging opening 53c1, pushing up the ring lock member 53. More specifically, because the ring trigger member 52 is formed thicker than the ring lock member 53, the ring lock member 53 bends in a direction such that the receiving portion 53a faces downward and the engaging inclined portions 53d on both ends face upward.

[0024] 3, the upper surfaces of the engaging inclined portions 53d are pressed tightly against the protruding ends 202 at the left and right edges 201 of the opening 20a1. At this time, the lower surface of the receiving portion 53a of the ring lock member 53 descends and comes into contact with the adjusting ring 30. Then, the adjusting ring 30 is fixed by the frictional force between the lower surface of the receiving portion 53a and the adjusting ring 30, and rotation is restricted.

[0025] If the adjustment ring 30 is made of resin or the like and the knurling on the outer periphery is easily scratched, a cushioning material 35 such as a cotton member can be provided between the underside of the receiving portion 53a and the adjustment ring 30.

[0026] Here, the rotation of the adjustment ring 30 is caused by frictional force (f = μN, where μ is the coefficient of friction and N is the normal force). When turning the adjustment ring 30 by hanging a finger on the knurling on the outer periphery of the adjustment ring 30, if the force pushing the adjustment ring 30 in the radial direction by the finger is P, then P = N holds. And when turning the adjustment ring 30 with a finger, the finger receives the frictional force f from the knurling of the adjustment ring 30. When the force T for rotating the knurling with a finger exceeds the frictional force f, the adjustment ring 30 can be rotated (the rotation condition at this time is T > f = μN = μP). Therefore, if the frictional force f generated when rotating the adjustment ring 30 is greater than the force T for rotating the knurling with a finger, the adjustment ring 30 cannot be rotated with a finger. To increase the frictional force f, the normal force N may be increased. In other words, the force in the radial direction P (i.e., the axial force of the screw 51) may be strengthened (the locking condition is T ≤ μN = μP).

[0027] The adjustment ring fixing device 50 can fix the adjustment ring 30 by increasing the frictional force f between the lower surface of the receiving portion 51a and the adjustment ring 30 with the axial force of the screw 51. The ring trigger member 52 applies the fastening force with which the screw 51 and the through screw hole 52a are screwed together in the radial direction of the adjustment ring 30, and when the ring trigger member 52 itself is lifted by the normal force of the fastening of the screw 51, it pushes up the ring lock member 53. The ring lock member 53 pushed up by the ring trigger member 52 contacts the housing 20 from the inside and pushes it up. In this way, the fastening force (axial force of the screw 51) of the screw 51 balances the force pushing the adjustment ring 30 and the force pushing up the housing 20 from the inside, and the adjustment ring 30 is locked.

[0028] The adjustment ring fixing device 50 can be removed from the projection device 10 by loosening the screw 51. Therefore, when misalignment occurs in focus or focus over time and adjustment is required, the adjustment ring fixing device 50 can be removed and readjustment can be easily performed.

[0029] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and can be implemented with various modifications. For example, although the adjustment ring fixing device 50 is provided in the projection device 10 in this embodiment, it can also be attached to other devices that include an adjustment ring.

[0030] According to the above embodiment, the adjustment ring fixing device 50 has a screw 51 which is a fastening member, a ring trigger member 52 (first fixing member) which has a through-hole screw hole 52a which is a through-hole through which the screw 51 passes and screws into, and a locking inclined portion 52e which is a locking portion, a receiving portion 53a which receives the tip of the screw 51 which screws into the through-hole screw hole 52a and restricts the rotation of the adjustment ring 30, an interlocking opening 53c1 which is an interlocking portion which interlocks with the interlocking inclined portion 52e, and an interlocking inclined portion 53d which is a housing interlocking portion which is pressed against the housing 20 in which the lens barrel 80 is stored.

[0031] As a result, when the screw 51 is tightened, the axial force of the screw 51 is applied to the adjustment ring 30 by the receiving portion 53a, and the engaging inclined portion 53d is pressed against and engaged with the protruding end 202 of the opening 20a1 of the housing 20, thereby fixing the adjustment ring fastening device 50. To attach the adjustment ring fastening device 50, it is sufficient to simply insert one of the engaging inclined portions 53d into the opening 20a1 where the adjustment ring 30 is exposed and tighten the press-in screw 51. Therefore, attachment is easy even when the lens barrel is stored inside the housing.

[0032] Furthermore, ring trigger member 52 is formed in the shape of a long plate extending in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of lens barrel 80, with both end portions serving as locking inclined portions 52e, and threaded through hole 52a being provided between locking inclined portions 52e. This allows screw 51 to be positioned in the center and axial force to be applied to adjustment ring 30, so that both end portions of screw 51 can be engaged with housing 20, allowing adjustment ring fastening device 50 to be attached in a balanced manner.

[0033] Furthermore, ring trigger member 52 has flat trigger member central portion 52b in which threaded through hole 52a is formed, trigger member inclined portions 52c sloping downward from both sides of trigger member central portion 52b, trigger member end flat portions 52d extending outward from each trigger member inclined portion 52c, and locking inclined portions 52e sloping upward from each trigger member end flat portion 52d. This ensures that ring lock member 53 and locking inclined portions 52e are securely locked together, while also ensuring that the force with which ring trigger member 52 moves upward by screw 51 is transmitted to ring lock member 53.

[0034] Ring locking member 53 also has flat locking member central portion 53b in which receiving portion 53a is recessed, locking member angled portions 53c connected on both sides of locking member central portion 53b to form an angled shape, engaging inclined portions 53d connected to each locking member angled portion 53c and inclined downward, locking member openings 53b1 provided at least in locking member central portion 53b and through which each trigger member inclined portion 52c of ring trigger member 52 is inserted, and locked openings 53c1 provided on the outer surface of locking member angled portion 53c and with the opening edge onto which locking inclined portion 52e is locked. This allows ring locking member 53 to receive the axial force of screw 51 at receiving portion 53a while engaging inclined portions 53d reliably with housing 20.

[0035] Additionally, engaging inclined portion 53d, which is a housing engaging portion, is inserted into the gap between housing 20 and lens barrel 80 and engages with housing 20. This ensures that adjustment ring fixing device 50 is fixed to housing 20 and can be easily attached to housing 20.

[0036] Furthermore, ring lock member 53 is formed to have the same width as adjustment ring 30 provided on lens barrel 80. This allows screw 51 to be positioned in the center of adjustment ring 30 in the width direction, allowing the axial force of screw 51 to be applied to adjustment ring 30 in a balanced manner.

[0037] In addition, the ring lock member 53 and the ring trigger member 52 are formed of sheet metal material, and the ring lock member 53 has a thinner plate thickness than the ring trigger member 52. Thereby, the ring lock member 53 can be efficiently deformed, and the adjustment ring fixing device 50 can be attached to the housing 20 while securely fixing the adjustment ring 30.

[0038] Further, the projection device 10 has an opening 20a1 facing the zoom adjustment ring 32 and the focus adjustment ring 31 attached to the lens barrel 80, and the adjustment ring fixing device 50 is attached to each of the zoom adjustment ring 32 and the focus adjustment ring 31 in the opening 20a1. Thereby, a projection device 10 with an adjustment ring fixing device 50 attached to each adjustment ring 30 can be provided.

[0039] Note that the embodiments described above are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and its equivalent scope.
