DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, a lens barrel and an imaging device (camera) according to one embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the scale of the shape, length, thickness, etc. of each part shown in the embodiment does not necessarily match the actual product, and parts that are not necessary for the explanation have been omitted or simplified as appropriate.

[0009] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a camera 100 including a lens barrel 20 according to this embodiment and a camera body 10. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the lens barrel 20 of Fig. 1. In this embodiment, the lens barrel 20 is detachable from the camera body 10 by a lens mount 22 (see Fig. 2). Note that the lens barrel 20 and the camera body 10 may be integrated.

[0010] An image sensor and a control unit are provided inside the camera body 10. The image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion element such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device), and converts the subject image formed by the imaging optical system (lens barrel 20 attached to the camera body 10) into an electrical signal.

[0011] The control unit is equipped with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and the like, and controls the overall operation of the camera 100 related to photography, including zoom operation, focusing drive, aperture adjustment, and blur correction of captured images due to camera shake, etc., in the camera body 10 and the attached lens barrel 20.

[0012] As shown in Fig. 1, lens barrel 20 according to this embodiment includes a fixed barrel 21, a focus ring FR, a zoom ring ZR, and a control ring CR. Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 2, lens barrel 20 is provided with a plurality of lens groups L1 to Ln (n is, for example, 11) arranged in sequence along a common optical axis OA. Lens groups L1 to Ln include lens groups known as zoom lens groups, vibration reduction (VR) lens groups, and focus lens groups. Each of lens groups L1 to Ln may be composed of a single lens or multiple lenses.

[0013] The focus ring FR is rotatable around the optical axis OA and is rotated by the user to manually adjust the focus (bring the lens into focus).The zoom ring ZR is rotatable around the optical axis OA and is rotated by the user to zoom.

[0014] The control ring CR is rotatable around the optical axis OA and is rotated by the user when using a function that the user has previously set. The user can pre-set the function to be assigned to the control ring CR by operating the camera body 10. For example, the control ring CR can be assigned functions for adjusting various imaging conditions such as focus, aperture, exposure compensation, and ISO sensitivity.

[0015] As shown in Fig. 1, a switch SW is provided near the control ring CR. This switch SW is an operating member for switching the operability of the control ring CR. In this embodiment, the user can slide the switch SW to switch between a mode (click mode) in which a click feeling occurs each time the control ring CR is rotated by a predetermined angle, and a mode (smooth mode) in which the control ring CR can be rotated smoothly without a click feeling.

[0016] Fig. 3(a) shows a cross-sectional view of the switch SW and the control ring CR in Fig. 1. In this embodiment, the fixed barrel 21 is made up of multiple members, and in Fig. 3(a), the components of the fixed barrel 21 are shown with the same hatching. Fig. 3(b) shows an enlarged view of the switching mechanism 110, including the switch SW, taken out from Fig. 3(a). Fig. 4 shows an exploded perspective view of the switching mechanism 110.

[0017] 3(a), the switching mechanism 110 is engaged with a slide groove 25 formed in the fixed barrel 21. Here, the slide groove 25 is a rectangular stepped opening that extends in the X-axis direction (direction of the optical axis OA) when viewed from the Z-axis direction, and the switch SW of the switching mechanism 110 is slidable in the X-axis direction along the slide groove 25.

[0018] 3(b) and 4, the switching mechanism 110 includes a moving member 30, a plate member 40, a switch SW, a screw 50, and a protruding member 60. In each of the figures from FIG. 3 onwards, the longitudinal direction of the moving member 30 (the moving direction of the switch SW) is the X-axis direction, the axial direction of the screw 50 is the Z-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the X-axis and Z-axis is the Y-axis direction.

[0019] (moving member 30) As shown in Fig. 4, the moving member 30 is a member whose longitudinal direction is in the X-axis direction. A housing portion 31 that houses the protruding member 60 is formed at the end on the -X side of the moving member 30. The housing portion 31 has an opening 131 (see Fig. 3(b)) formed on the -Z side, and the protruding member 60 is inserted through the opening 131.

[0020] Here, the protruding member 60 is made of a metal or alloy such as iron or aluminum, and has a bowl-shaped first protrusion 61 that contacts the control ring CR, and a leaf spring portion 62 that is integrally molded with the first protrusion 61. The first protrusion 61 is capable of protruding from an opening 32 formed on the upper surface (+Z surface) of the moving member 30. Furthermore, the leaf spring portion 62 constantly biases the protruding member 60 in the direction of arrow A, so that the first protrusion 61 is constantly in contact with the inner surface of the control ring CR (see FIG. 3(a)). Note that the first protrusion 61 and the leaf spring portion 62 of the protruding member 60 do not have to be integrally molded. Furthermore, the first protrusion 61 and the leaf spring portion 62 may be formed from different materials.

[0021] A cylindrical second protrusion 33 that protrudes in the +Z direction is formed near the housing portion 31 of the moving member 30. The function of this second protrusion 33 will be described later.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 4, a through-hole 35 penetrating in the Z-axis direction is formed near the end on the +X side of the moving member 30. Two recesses 34a, 34b are formed near the through-hole 35. Note that the through-hole 35 is a stepped through-hole that combines two holes with different diameters, as shown in Fig. 3(b).

[0023] (Plate member 40) 4, the plate member 40 has through holes 43, 45 and through holes 44a, 44b. The second protrusion 33 of the movable member 30 is inserted into the through hole 43. When the plate member 40 is combined with the movable member 30 (fixed state), the position of the through hole 45 coincides with the position of the through hole 35 of the movable member 30, and the positions of the through holes 44a, 44b coincide with the positions of the recesses 34a, 34b of the movable member 30.

[0024] Furthermore, plate member 40 has an urging portion 47 that extends like an arm. The vicinity of the +X end of urging portion 47 forms a bent portion 147 that is bent in a mountain shape. As will be described in detail later, a mountain portion 24 that protrudes toward the -Z side is provided on the inner surface of fixed barrel 21, as shown in FIG. 6(b), and bent portion 147 is in contact with mountain portion 24 while applying a predetermined urging force to it.

[0025] The plate member 40 is placed on top of the movable member 30 (in the +Z direction). Then, the plate member 40 is fixed to the movable member 30 by engaging the engagement holes 46 provided in the plate member 40 with the claws 36 provided on the Y-side surfaces (the +Y surface and the -Y surface) of the movable member 30. Here, when the plate member 40 is fixed to the movable member 30, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the plate member 40 closes the upper opening of the accommodating section 31. This prevents the +X end of the leaf spring section 62 from jumping out of the accommodating section 31 even if a force in the -Z direction is applied to the first protrusion 61 of the protruding member 60.

[0026] (Switch SW) As shown in Fig. 4, switch SW has an operating portion 71 that is touched by a user's finger, and a block portion 72 provided on the -Z side of the operating portion. Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of switch SW as viewed from the -Z direction. Block portion 72 has a screw hole 172 formed on the -Z side. In addition, two protrusions 74a and 74b are provided on the -Z side surface of block portion 72.

[0027] The distance between the two protrusions 74a, 74b matches the distance between the two through holes 44a, 44b formed in the plate member 40 and the distance between the two recesses 34a, 34b formed in the moving member 30. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, by fitting the protrusions 74a, 74b of the switch SW into the through holes 44a, 44b of the plate member 40 and the recesses 34a, 34b of the moving member 30, the switch SW, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30 can be positioned with high precision. With the switch SW positioned in this manner, as shown in FIG. 3(b), the switch SW, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30 can be fixed in a positioned state by threading a screw 50 into the screw hole 172 from the -Z side through the through holes 35, 45. This reduces the number of parts compared to when each component is fixed using separate screws or the like.

[0028] During actual assembly, the protruding member 60 is incorporated into the moving member 30, and the structure in which the plate member 40 is fixed to the moving member 30 is placed in the position shown in Fig. 3(a). The switch SW is brought close to the fixed barrel 21 from the outside, and the switch SW is positioned relative to the plate member 40 and the moving member 30 in the slide groove 25 of the fixed barrel 21. Then, the switch SW in the positioned state, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30 are fixed with screws 50.

[0029] The switching mechanism 110 slides along the X-axis direction when the user applies force to the switch SW in the X-axis direction. At this time, the second protrusion 33 of the moving member 30 moves along a groove 26 (see FIG. 3(a)) formed on the inner surface of the fixed barrel 21. Here, the groove 26 is formed along the optical axis OA direction (X-axis direction), and the width of the groove 26 in the Y-axis direction is substantially the same as the dimension of the second protrusion 33 in the Y-axis direction (the diameter of the cylindrical second protrusion 33). This makes it possible to prevent the switching mechanism 110 from shifting (shaking) in the Y-axis direction or in the circumferential direction even when a force is applied to the switching mechanism 110 in the Y-axis direction or in the circumferential direction. In addition, a restricting portion 23 is provided on the -Z side (the side closer to the optical axis OA) of the moving member 30. This restricting portion 23 is part of the fixed barrel 21. The restricting portion 23 can restrict deformation even when a force in the -Z direction is applied to the first protrusion 61 of the protruding member 60 and the switching mechanism 110 (moving member 30) is about to bend. The restricting portion 23 and the moving member 30 may or may not be in constant contact with each other. For example, the restricting portion 23 and the moving member 30 may come into contact with each other only when slight deformation (bending) occurs in the switching mechanism 110.

[0030] (Control Ring CR) As described above, the control ring CR is mounted on the fixed barrel 21 and is rotatable around the optical axis OA. As shown in FIG. 3(a), the inner circumference of the control ring CR is provided with an uneven surface 90, with recesses and projections repeatedly formed along the inner circumference. Furthermore, a flat surface (hereinafter referred to as a sliding surface) 91 without any recesses and projections is provided on the +X side of the uneven surface 90 on the inner circumference of the control ring CR. As shown in FIG. 6(b), the uneven surface 90 has a plurality of projections 90a that protrude toward the inner circumference and recesses 90b that are recessed further than the projections 90a.

[0031] (Operation of the switching mechanism 110) Next, the operation of the switching mechanism 110 will be described.

[0032] Fig. 6(a) is a cross-sectional view showing the switch SW and the control ring CR when the user moves the switch SW to the +X side (second position) and the control ring CR is set to smooth mode. Fig. 6(b) is a view of the state of Fig. 6(a) as seen from the -Z side.

[0033] When set to smooth mode, as shown in Figure 6(b), the bent portion 147 of the urging portion 47 provided on the plate member 40 of the switching mechanism 110 is located on the +X side of the ridge portion 24 provided on the inner surface of the fixed barrel 21.

[0034] In this smooth mode, the first protrusion 61 of the protruding member 60 is in contact with the sliding surface 91 of the control ring CR. This allows the control ring CR to be rotated smoothly without any clicking sensation, with an appropriate amount of sliding resistance. In this mode, the first protrusion 61 is always in contact with the sliding surface 91 with the same force (the biasing force of the leaf spring portion 62), so the torque sensation (operation load) when rotating the control ring CR can be kept approximately constant.

[0035] To change from the smooth mode to the click mode, the user moves the switch SW to the -X side (first position) (see arrow B in FIG. 6(a)). FIG. 7(a) is a cross-sectional view showing the state when the switch SW is set to the click mode. FIG. 7(b) is a view of the state of FIG. 7(a) from the -Z side. When changing from the smooth mode to the click mode, as shown in FIG. 7(b), the bent portion 147 of the biasing portion 47 provided on the plate member 40 of the switching mechanism 110 climbs over the ridge portion 24 provided on the fixed barrel 21 and moves from the +X side of the ridge portion 24 to the -X side. In this way, the bent portion 147 climbs over the ridge portion 24, thereby providing a clicking sensation to the finger of the user operating the switch SW.

[0036] When the click mode is set, as shown in FIGS. 7( a) and 7(b), the first protrusion 61 of the protruding member 60 is in contact with the uneven surface 90 of the control ring CR. Therefore, when the user rotates the control ring CR, a large force is required each time the first protrusion 61 of the protruding member 60 moves over the convex portion 90a. Therefore, a clicking sensation is imparted to the finger each time the first protrusion 61 moves over the convex portion 90a (each time the first protrusion 61 fits into the concave portion 90b). When the first protrusion 61 moves along the uneven surface 90, a force in the Y-axis direction (or a force in the circumferential direction about the optical axis) is applied to the switching mechanism 110. However, as described above, because the second protrusion 33 is engaged with the groove portion 26, movement of the switching mechanism 110 in the Y-axis direction (or the circumferential direction) is suppressed (limited). Therefore, the switching mechanism 110 can slide along the uneven surface 90 without vibrating in the Y-axis direction or the circumferential direction.

[0037] When changing from the click mode to the smooth mode, the user moves the switch SW to the +X side (second position). At this time, the bent portion 147 of the biasing portion 47 provided on the plate member 40 of the switching mechanism 110 also moves over the ridge portion 24 provided on the fixed barrel 21 and moves from the -X side to the +X side of the ridge portion 24, so that the user's finger operating the switch SW can feel a click.

[0038] The user can switch between click mode and smooth mode, for example, according to a function preset on the control ring CR or according to preference. Also, the user can use click mode when capturing still images and smooth mode, which does not produce click sounds, when capturing moving images.

[0039] As described above in detail, according to this embodiment, the lens barrel 20 includes a control ring CR that is rotatable around the optical axis OA of the lenses L1-Ln and has an uneven surface 90 and a flat sliding surface 91 on its inner periphery, a switch SW that is operated by a user, and a moving member 30. When the user operates the switch SW to rotate the control ring CR, the first protrusion 61 provided on the moving member 30 slides along the uneven surface 90, creating a clicking sensation. In this way, in this embodiment, the user can easily switch to a mode (click mode) in which a clicking sensation is imparted to the finger operating the control ring CR by operating the switch SW. This improves the usability of the lens barrel 20.

[0040] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the user can operate the switch SW to switch to a smooth mode in which the first protrusion 61 slides on the sliding surface 91 when the control ring CR is rotated, and no clicking sensation occurs. In this smooth mode, the first protrusion 61 is constantly in contact with the sliding surface 91 due to the biasing force of the leaf spring portion 62, so the torque sensation (operation load) when rotating the control ring CR can be kept approximately constant.

[0041] In addition, in this embodiment, the first protrusion 61 is biased against the uneven surface 90 or the sliding surface 91 by the leaf spring 62, so that the first protrusion 61 can be kept in constant contact with the uneven surface 90 or the sliding surface 91. This makes it possible to switch between providing and not providing a clicking sensation depending on the shape of the surface with which the first protrusion 61 comes into contact.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first protrusion 61 and the leaf spring 62 are integrally molded. This reduces the number of parts compared to when the first protrusion 61 and the leaf spring 62 are separate members.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed barrel 21 has a groove 26 having a length in the optical axis direction, and the moving member 30 has a second protrusion 33 that engages with the groove 26. This makes it possible to prevent positional deviation in the Y axis direction or the circumferential direction from occurring even if the switching mechanism 110 is subjected to a force in the Y axis direction or the circumferential direction.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed barrel 21 has a ridge 24 formed along the optical axis direction, and the plate member 40 is provided with a biasing portion 47 that slides while biasing the surface of the ridge 24 in response to the operation of the switch SW. This makes it possible to give a clicking sensation to the operating finger when the switch SW is operated.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the switching mechanism 110 has screws 50 that secure the switch SW, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30. This allows the number of parts to be reduced compared to when the switch SW, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30 are secured separately.

[0046] In this embodiment, the switch SW is fixed with screws 50 in a state where the protrusions 74a, 74b of the switch SW are fitted into the through holes 44a, 44b of the plate member 40 and the recesses 34a, 34b of the moving member 30. This allows the switch SW, the plate member 40, and the moving member 30 to be fixed in a state where they are positioned with high precision.

[0047] Furthermore, in this embodiment, fixed barrel 21 is provided with restricting portion 23 that restricts deformation of movable member 30 toward the optical axis. This restricts deformation of switching mechanism 110 (movable member 30) and prevents bending even when a force in the -Z direction is applied to first protrusion 61 of protruding member 60. This allows for a longer lifespan of lens barrel 20.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the protruding member 60 has the first protrusion 61 and the leaf spring 62 integrally molded with the first protrusion 61. However, the present invention is not limited to this. A compression coil spring that biases the first protrusion 61 in the +Z direction may be used instead of the leaf spring 62. Furthermore, an elastic member other than a compression coil spring may be used as long as it is a biasing member that can bias the first protrusion 61 in the +Z direction. In this case, the shape of the first protrusion 61 may be spherical or the like. For example, a ball may be used instead of the first protrusion 61, and a coil spring may be used instead of the leaf spring 62, so as to stop the plate member 40 from the opening 131 side.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the case where the restricting portion 23 is provided on the fixed barrel 21 to restrict deformation of the switching mechanism 110 (moving member 30) has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the movement of the second protrusion 33 in the Z-axis direction relative to the groove 26 may be restricted by changing the shapes of the groove 26 and the second protrusion 33. In this case, the restricting portion 23 may be omitted.

[0050] In the above embodiment, the switch SW is fixed to the plate member 40 and the movable member 30 with screws, but this is not limited to this, and the switch SW may be fixed to the plate member 40 and the movable member 30 using other methods (for example, adhesive, etc.).

[0051] In the above embodiment, the case where the control ring CR is provided with the uneven surface 90 and the sliding surface 91, and the operational feel of the control ring CR is switched by the switching mechanism 110, has been described. However, this is not limited to this, and the focus ring FR or the zoom ring ZR may be provided with an uneven surface and a sliding surface, and the operational feel of the focus ring FR or the zoom ring ZR may be switched by the switching mechanism 110. Furthermore, if the lens barrel 20 is provided with other rotating rings such as an aperture ring, the operational feel of those rotating rings may be switched by the switching mechanism 110.

[0052] The above-described embodiment is a preferred example of implementation, but is not limited to this, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist, and any constituent elements may be combined. [Explanation of symbols]
