Prevents rattling of the elements.
- FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the sheet metal 42. Screws 41a to 41c shown in FIG. 4 are tightened in the direction from the front side to the back side of FIG.
- the sheet metal 42 according to this embodiment is roughly composed of four parts. Specifically, the sheet metal 42 includes a first portion 50a, a second portion 50b, and two bridge portions 50c and 50d.
- a fixing screw hole 42a is formed in the first portion 50a.
- the fixing screw hole 42a is a hole through which the screw 41a passes.
- the adjustment screw holes 42b and 42c are opened in the second portion 50b.
- the adjusting screw holes 42b and 42c are holes through which the screws 41b and 41c pass, respectively.
- the second portion 50 b includes a step portion 51 for attaching the CCD 44 and the flexible printed circuit board 43.
- the bridge portions 50c and 50d connect the first portion 50a and the second portion 50b and have a relatively narrow width.
- the sheet metal 42 to which the CCD 44 is attached has a structure that can be adjusted so that the CCD 44 is perpendicular to the optical axis after the CCD unit 2 is assembled.
- One of the main structures provided for this purpose is the bridge portions 50c and 50d.
- the structure and the adjusting method will be described in detail.
- This process may be performed during the assembly of the CCD unit 2 or may be performed after the assembly process is completed.
- the bridge portion 50c is provided so as to extend in a direction (X-axis direction in FIG. 5) substantially parallel to a straight line connecting the fixing screw hole 42a and the adjusting screw hole 42b.
- the bridge portion 50d is provided so as to extend in a direction (Y-axis direction in FIG. 5) substantially parallel to a straight line connecting the fixing screw hole 42a and the adjustment screw hole 42c.
- the screws 41a and 41c are provided with a stepped portion q2 below the flange portion (screw head portion) q1.
- the fixing screw hole 42a is a round hole, and its diameter is set so as to substantially match the diameter of the stepped portion q2 of the screw 41a.
- the screw hole 42c is a long hole, and its long side P is set longer than the diameter of the stepped portion q2 of the screw 41c, and its short side Q is set so as to substantially match the diameter of the screw 42a. Yes.
- the sheet metal 42 is connected to the master flange by the screw 41a and the screw 41c. 48 is accurately positioned.
- the screw 41a is completely tightened into the fixing screw hole 42a. Subsequently, the screw 41b is fastened to the screw hole 42b.
- the diameter R of the screw hole 42b is larger than the diameter of the screw 41b. The reason is to provide a margin in view of the fact that the position of a screw hole (not shown) provided in the master flange 48 may be slightly shifted due to a manufacturing error.
- the screw holes 42a and 42c have already been fastened with the screws 41a and 41c, but the screw 41b can be reliably inserted into the screw hole 42b by making the diameter R of the screw hole 42b larger than the diameter of the screw 41b.
- the screw hole 42b is also referred to as a “fool hole”.
- the screws 41b and 41c are not completely tightened into the screw holes 42b and 42c. This is because the angle of the second portion 50b with respect to the master flange 48 is adjusted according to the respective tightening heights.
- the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction in FIG. 5 are parallel to the respective sides of the rectangular CCD 44.
- the bridge portion 50d is elastically deformed, and the magnitude of the deformation is determined according to the height at which the screw 41c is fastened to the screw hole 42c. If the screw 41c is deeply tightened, the bridge portion 50d is greatly deformed in the direction from the front to the back of the paper, and if it is shallowly tightened, the degree of deformation is small.
- the angle of the second portion 50b with respect to the master flange 48 changes in proportion to the tightening height of the screw 41c due to the elastic deformation of the bridge portion 50d with respect to the direction along the Y axis. Thus, only the angle in the Y-axis direction of the CCD 44 attached to the second portion 50b can be adjusted without changing the angle in the X-axis direction.
- the bridge portion 50c is elastically deformed, and the magnitude of the deformation is determined according to the height at which the screw 41b is fastened to the screw hole 42b. If the screw 41b is tightened deeply, the bridge portion 50c is greatly deformed in the direction from the front to the back of the paper, and if it is tightened shallowly, the degree of deformation is small.
- the angle of the second portion 50b with respect to the master flange 48 changes in proportion to the tightening height of the screw 41b due to elastic deformation of the bridge portion 50c in the direction along the X axis. Thus, only the angle in the X-axis direction of the CCD 44 attached to the second portion 50b can be adjusted independently without changing the angle in the Y-axis direction.
- the bridge portions 50c and 50d are designed to be elastically deformed according to the tightening height of the screws 41b and 41c. Therefore, it is preferable that the bridge portions 50c and 50d have a configuration that easily causes elastic deformation. For example, when the widths of the bridge portions 50c and 50d are made narrower and longer, the spring coefficients (elastic coefficients) of the bridge portions 50c and 50d can be reduced. Alternatively, the spring coefficient can be adjusted by the material of the bridge portions 50c and 50d.
- the second portion 50b does not elastically deform regardless of the tightening degree of the screws 41b and 41c. This is because if the second portion 50b to which the CCD 44 is attached is deformed, the positional relationship between the angle of the CCD 44 and the optical axis varies due to factors other than the height adjustment by tightening the screws 41b and 41c.
- the angle of the second portion 50b with respect to the master flange 48 can be adjusted in the direction from the front side to the back side in FIG.
- the springs 47 b and 47 c shown in FIG. 4 are provided in this embodiment in order to ensure that the peripheral portions of the sheet metal 42 screw holes 42 b and 42 c are brought into contact with the flanges of the screws 41 b and 41 c. Provided.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the sheet metal 42 at the tightening portion when the screws 41b and 41c are tightened.
- the springs 47b and 47c give an elastic force in the direction opposite to the tightening direction of the screws 41b and 41c. This makes it possible to change the angle of the second portion 50b in the direction from the back of the page of FIG. 5 to the front, and when adjusting the height of the screws 41b and 41c, the bridge portions 50c and 50d are changed beyond the elastic range. Even at this time, the flanges of the screws 41b and 41c can be reliably brought into contact with the peripheral portions of the sheet metal 42 screw holes 42b and 42c by the springs 47b and 47c.
- the axes of the springs 47b and 47c are aligned with the axes of the screws 41b and 41c.
- the action point S1 when the screws 41b and 41c clamp the sheet metal 42 and the action point S2 where the springs 47b and 47c act on the sheet metal 42 are brought close to each other.
- the operating point of the screw and the operating point of the spring are substantially the same positions in the vicinity of the screw holes 42b and 42c. If the operating point of the screw is separated from the operating point of the spring, the second portion 50b is easily deformed. Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary load on the second portion 50b, the operating point of the screw and the operating point of the spring are set at substantially the same position.
- any one of 41b and 41c may be tightened or loosened. Trial and error becomes unnecessary, and the work time for adjustment can be greatly shortened.
- the master flange 48 is designed to be orthogonal to the optical axis and is attached to the digital camera 100 main body.
- the angle of the second portion 50b to which the CCD 44 is attached can be adjusted independently by screws with respect to the direction along the X axis or the Y axis by the mechanism of the present application. On the other hand, it can be adjusted accurately so as to be vertical.
- the tilt adjustment can be performed independently and stably in both directions of the X axis and the Y axis only by completely tightening only the screw 41a.
- the construction of the sheet metal is also very simple.
- the screw 41a Since the screw 41a is completely tightened, even if an external force such as vibration or drop is applied, the inclination of the second portion 50b hardly changes.
- the inclination of the second portion 50b can be maintained more stably.
- the position of the bridge portion and the spring can be adjusted while applying forces in opposite directions, a fine angle adjustment is possible, and the accuracy of the position can be increased.
- the sheet metal 42 is positioned in the plane direction (XY plane direction) by the outer diameter of the stepped portion q2 provided below the flange portion (screw head portion) q1. Even when the inclination of the CCD is adjusted by the screws 41b and 41c, the sheet metal 42 is always positioned in the plane direction (XY plane direction) by the outer diameter of the stepped portion q2 of the screws 41a and 41c.
- the screws 41a, 41b, and 41c are usually made of a material such as metal or ceramic with high hardness. Therefore, even when the CCD is tilted or when an external force such as vibration or drop is applied, even if the end surface of the screw hole 42c provided in the sheet metal 42 and the stepped portion q2 of the screw 41c are rubbed, the resin and metal As in the case of rubbing, there is no occurrence of shaving or squeaking (stick-slip), and a change in tilt is unlikely to occur. In addition, there is an advantage that there is little change in inclination due to environmental changes and changes with time.
- the advantage of this invention will be emphasized more. That is, since the master flange is generally composed of a resin part, the protrusion of the resin part and the hole of the sheet metal are engaged. Then, at the time of tilt adjustment, the resin projection is scraped, or the resin projection and the end face of the hole portion of the sheet metal do not slide smoothly, so that it is impossible to adjust the tilt with high accuracy. Therefore, the advantage by the structure of this invention is very useful.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the cushion 45. As is clear from FIG. 7, the cushion 45 is configured such that one opening is larger than the other opening.
- FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the cushion 45 cut along the assembly direction.
- the cushion 45 has an inclined surface 80 that is inclined with respect to the optical axis 3. Due to the presence of the inclined surface 80, the opening 82 is configured to be larger than the other opening 83.
- the frame 81 that forms the periphery of the opening 83 of the cushion 45 is perpendicular to the optical axis 3 in this example.
- FIG. 9 shows a state immediately before the CCD 44 is assembled to the cushion 45.
- FIG. 10 shows a state immediately after the CCD 44 is assembled to the cushion 45.
- the CCD 44 abuts the cushion 45 on the middle surface 91 of the inclined surface 80 of the cushion 45, and presses the cushion 45 in the direction along the optical axis 3. Thereby, the cushion 45 bends. At this time, the force pressed from the CCD 44 and the restoring force of the cushion 45 are applied to the contact position between them. There is no gap between the CCD 44 and the cushion 45 at the contact position.
- a step is provided at a corner portion of the CCD 44 on the cushion 45 side so as to contact the cushion 45 on the middle surface 91 of the inclined surface 80.
- the CCD 44 can be brought into contact with the middle 91 below the inclined surface 80.
- it is not essential to provide a notch.
- the frame 81 is bonded to the adjacent optical filter 46 at the position 92. Further, movement and deformation of the outer edge of the cushion 45 are restricted by the master flange 48. Thereby, the space 30 is completely sealed by the CCD 44, the cushion 45 and the optical filter 46. Therefore, dust from outside does not enter the space 30.
- the cushion 45 is made of rubber, but this is only an example.
- the cushion 45 may be manufactured using other elastic materials such as silicon, elastomer, and plastic.
- the CCD 44 and the cushion 45 are brought into contact with each other on the middle 91 of the inclined surface 80 of the cushion 45.
- a person skilled in the art is configured such that the CCD and the packing (cushion) are brought into contact with each other at the uppermost portion corresponding to the opening 82 in FIG. 8 as shown in FIG. It is considered common to do.
- Patent Document 1 the deformation due to the bending of the uppermost part of the packing is pointed out as a problem, but there are other problems.
- FIG. 11 shows a cushion 45 formed using three molds 110a, 110b and 110c.
- burrs are formed in the cushion 45 at the joints of the molds. Specifically, a burr 111a formed at the joint between the molds 110a and 110c, a burr 111b formed at the joint between the molds 110a and 110b, and a burr formed at the joint between the molds 110b and 110c. 111c.
- the burr 111a is formed on the top of the inclined surface 80 (the top of the opening 82 shown in FIG. 8). Therefore, if the CCD and the cushion 45 are brought into contact with each other at the uppermost part of the inclined surface 80, even if the uppermost part is not bent, a gap is generated by the burr 111a and the space 30 cannot be completely sealed. .
- burr 111a it is possible to remove some of the burr 111a, but a process for that purpose is required, and cost and time are required. Since the burr and the main body are continuously formed of the same material, it is very difficult to completely remove the burr. There is a risk that the body part will be removed if the burr is completely removed. In addition, it is almost impossible to prevent the burrs from being generated so that the joint portion of the mold is in complete contact with the object to be sealed.
- the present embodiment even if such a burr 111a is present, it is not necessary to remove it, and the space 30 can be reliably sealed.
- the configuration of the cushion 45 is simple, and the mold can be easily manufactured. Therefore, it can be obtained or manufactured at low cost.
- the optical element is brought into contact with the middle of the inclined surface of the elastic member (cushion 45), high sealing performance can be realized without being affected by burrs or variations in element shape. Further, even when the distance between the CCD and the optical filter, which are optical elements, varies, it is possible to achieve a high sealing degree. Furthermore, since the middle of the inclined surface is used, high sealing performance can be maintained even if the inclination of the CCD is adjusted. Furthermore, even if the elastic member is compressed or deformed during use, it is not affected.
- the CCD 44 is adjusted to be perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical system of the digital camera 100 by the assembly process and the adjustment process of the above-described configuration, and between the CCD 44 and the optical filter 46.
- the space 30 is sealed using a cushion 45.
- the sheet metal 42 having the shape shown in FIG. 5 is given, but this is an example, and other configurations can be adopted.
- FIG. 12 shows a sheet metal 120 according to another configuration example. Parts having the same function or configuration as the sheet metal 42 shown in FIG.
- the sheet metal 120 is also composed of a first portion 50a, a second portion 50b, and two bridge portions 50c and 50d. Unlike the sheet metal 42, the sheet metal 120 has bridge portions 50c and 50d formed integrally.
- the bridge portion 50c is provided so as to extend in a direction parallel to the straight line connecting the fixing screw hole 42a and the adjusting screw hole 42b (X-axis direction in FIG. 5), and the bridge portion 50d is fixed. It is the same as the sheet metal 42 in that it is provided so as to extend in a direction (Y-axis direction in FIG. 5) parallel to a straight line connecting the screw hole 42a for adjustment and the screw hole 42c for adjustment. Since the direction in which the bridge portions 50c and 50d are elastically deformed is the same as that of the sheet metal 42, it can be intuitively determined which of the screws 41b and 41c should be tightened or loosened.
- FIG. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view of a sheet metal 130 according to still another configuration example according to the present embodiment.
- the sheet metal 130 is also provided with a bridge portion, and only the bridge portion 50c is shown in FIG.
- the sheet metal 130 at least one of the bridge portions 50c and 50d is warped in advance.
- the first portion 50a, the second portion 50b, and the bridge portions 50c and 50d do not exist on the same plane.
- the bridge portion 50c is warped.
- FIG. 13 shows a cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal 130 in a state where the screw 41b is not fastened to the screw hole 42b.
- the warp of the bridge portion 50c is given in the direction opposite to the direction in which the screw 41b is tightened.
- the elastic force of the bridge portion 50c itself acts in the opposite direction. This elastic force corresponds to the elastic force of the spring 47b. This eliminates the need to provide the spring 47b.
- FIG. 14 shows a cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal 130 in a state where the screw 41b is tightened until the first portion 50a, the second portion 50b, and the bridge portion 50c are in a substantially horizontal state. Even in this state, the elastic force of the bridge portion 50c acts in the direction opposite to the tightening direction of the screw 41b.
- FIG. 15 shows a cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal 130 in a state where the screw 41b is further tightened from the state of FIG.
- the elastic force of the bridge part 50c larger than the elastic force in the state of FIG. 14 is acting in the direction opposite to the tightening direction of the screw 41b.
- the sheet metal 42 is designed so that the bridge portion has an elastic force, it is easy to warp in the direction opposite to the direction in which the screw 41b is tightened in advance, and the manufacturing cost is substantially increased. do not do. Since no spring is required, the cost can be reduced.
