Abstract

PURPOSE:To fix a lens with stable pressure by forming a fixation member of an elastic body which is in a ring shape for applying pressure to the entire periphery of a lens uniformly and sectioned almost in a triangular shape. CONSTITUTION:A plastic lens G3 is fitted to a lens frame 2 by an image-side lens peripheral edge part. Then a lens presser 3 is clamped to the lens frame 2 by a screw part 6 and the lens G3 is pressed against the lens frame 2 and fixed across a lens G1, a lens G2, a spacer component 4, the lens fixation member 1, and a fixed stop 5 from the object side. The lens fixation member 1 is formed of the elastic body made of a foamed body of rubber or plastic or compound material containing them in the ring shape for applying the pressure to the entire periphery of the lens G3 uniformly across the fixed stop 5, its section is triangular, and the force from the spacer component 4 is applied atop the diagonal of the side contacting the fixed stop 5. Consequently, the compressive force of the lens fixation member to a compression margin does not vary large and the lenses can be fixed with the stable pressure.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a lens barrel, and in particular, a lens fixing member is provided for fixing a lens such as a plastic lens whose expansion coefficient is significantly different from that of a lens frame to a lens frame. The present invention relates to a lens barrel that has been developed.

Traditionally, the method of fixing a plastic lens to a lens barrel is to glue the plastic lens to the lens frame of the lens barrel using adhesive. A known method is to use a compression spring such as a leaf spring or a coil spring to press and fix the peripheral edge of a plastic lens against a lens frame.

However, according to the former method, the expansion coefficient of the plastic lens and the expansion coefficient of the lens frame are significantly different, so that the expansion or contraction of the plastic lens due to temperature changes is limited by the lens frame. For example, the amount of change due to temperature change for a plastic lens made of acrylic resin is 6 XIO-'

The amount of change due to temperature change in the ball frame is 2.5 x 10-

Furthermore, according to the latter method, only the portion where the spring contacts the plastic lens is deformed, resulting in a problem that the optical performance of the lens is degraded.

However, in this device, as an elastic member, 0
Rings with a circular cross section or rings with a substantially U-shaped cross section are used, so when screwing the ball presser such as a presser ring into the ball frame, there may be errors in the installation of the ball presser, and multiple lenses may be attached. When the compression margin of the elastic member relative to the lens changes due to an error in the distance between the lenses, an error in the thickness of the spacing parts attached between multiple lenses, etc., the compression force of the elastic member against this compression margin increases (for example, When an elastic member having a thickness (-) and a circular cross section as shown in Figure 2 (B) is compressed in the direction of arrow (C), as the compression margin (a) increases, the compression area (b ) increases significantly as shown in Figure 4.0 The compressive force of the elastic member is approximately proportional to the compression area (b), so even if the compression height (a) changes slightly, the compressive force of the elastic member increases. There is a problem that the compressive force applied to the lens becomes too large or too small than the desired pressure due to the error, and the lens cannot be fixed to the lens barrel with a stable pressure. If the compressive force is too large, the optical performance of the lens will deteriorate due to distortion or deformation of the lens, and if the compressive force is too small, the accurate positioning of the lens with respect to the lens barrel will deteriorate. The optical performance of the lens deteriorates if the lens is not able to do so, or if the lens becomes dislodged from a predetermined position due to an impact or the like.

Further, the lens fixing member (1) is an elastic body made of a material such as silicone rubber, plastic elastomer, rubber or plastic foam, or a composite material containing these materials.
It is not limited to these, but any material that has elasticity may be used.
When a urethane-based material is used as the lens fixing member (1), the gas generated from the material may alter the quality of the plastic lens material and reduce the optical performance of the lens. It is preferable to use a lens fixing member (1) made of a material such as rubber.

When the lens fixing member (1) having a triangular cross section is compressed in the direction of the arrow (C), as the compression margin (a) increases, the compression area (b) gradually increases as shown in FIG. As mentioned above, the compression force of the elastic member is almost proportional to the compression area (b), so even if the compression margin (a) is thick (changes), the compression force of the lens fixing member (■) of this example will change. The amount is small, and even if the error is large, the pressure remains stable through the lens (G3
).

156<θ<60' If the value of the apex angle θ exceeds the lower limit, it becomes extremely difficult to generate a predetermined compressive force. On the other hand, when the value of the apex angle θ exceeds the upper limit, the compression area (b) increases sharply due to the increase in the compression margin (a), and the amount of change in the compression force with respect to the change in the compression margin becomes large. A problem similar to that of a lens fixing member using a lens fixing member such as the like occurs.
