Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten the production process, to reduce the cost and to improve the dimension precision, by forming a cam groove in such direction that the center line of the cam groove in the breadthwise direction is always orthogonal to a prescribed plane including the optical axis. CONSTITUTION:A cam groove 2 is formed on a cam cylinder 1 in such direction that the center line of the cam groove 2 in the breadthwise direction is orthogonal to a horizontal plane X-X including an optical axis O-O', and a cam groove detaining part of a cam pin 5 to be engaged with the cam groove 2 is formed to a shape like a ball. As a result, a mold is slided from the outside-diemeter side of a cam cylinder 5 to form the cam groove 2, and the cam cylinder 5 and the cam groove 2 are produced by the molding work of a synthetic resin or the press work of metallic materials. Consequently, the production process is shortened, and the cost is reduced, and the dimension precision is improved.

Therefore, in the case of conventional cam grooves made of metal materials such as aluminum, blanking, heat treatment, inner diameter cutting, cam groove rough finishing, and cam groove finishing are required to achieve the dimensional accuracy of the inner and outer diameters of the cam grooves and the dimensional accuracy of the cam grooves. It requires multiple steps such as machining, cam groove deburring9, honing, alumite processing, and outer diameter finishing, which has the disadvantage of increasing production costs.

Furthermore, in order to avoid such drawbacks, Utility Model Application No. 53-1
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 33638, a thick cylinder in which a cam groove is formed by squeezing a thin plate is also known, but in this case,
If the lens weight becomes considerably heavy, it is not possible to make a highly accurate cam cylinder with stable performance in terms of strength, dimensional accuracy of the cam groove, cylindricity, and dimensional accuracy of the inner and outer diameters. As shown in the figure, cam grooves with bottomed cam grooves covered with synthetic resin are also known, but if a bottomed cam groove is to be molded from the inner diameter side of the cam cylinder, the mold needs to be divided into parts. There was a limit to the dimensional accuracy of the cam groove.
