Below, the zoom action of the Zoom finder 1 of present embodiment with above-mentioned formation is described.
Suppose that the mobile of photographic lens system is to carry out according to the order of long burnt position, wide-angle position, fold back position.Now, suppose that photographic lens ties up to long burnt position, interlock therewith then, Zoom finder 1 are also corresponding with the burnt position of length of above-mentioned photographic lens system and be in view finder and grow burnt state.This view finder for long burnt state under, shown in Figure 10 (A), drive plate 13 (D1) in the direction of the clock turns to terminal location, drive projection 13b be in the projection 14e that pushes the 1st cam 14 and with view finder main body stop component 2a state of contact.Under this state, cam lever 18c, the 19c of the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 contacts with the burnt correspondence position of length of cam surface 14b, the 15b of the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 respectively, and the 18b of zoom lens portion, 19b are in long burnt position.
Then, if driven wheel 12 by with the linked gear group of photographic lens system to the wide-angle position rotating drive, and drive plate 13 is by (D2) rotation counterclockwise, also unitary rotation of the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 then, the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 moves to wide-angle position separately along cam surface 14b, 15b.Zoom drive zone in this long Jiao, wide-angle slewing area, between Figure 10 (A) to (B), because the torsionspring moment m0 of cam force application spring 17 can not make above-mentioned projection 14e separate with driving projection 13b, can not produce the phase deviation of drive plate 13 and the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15.
When photographic lens is tied to when reaching wide-angle position, the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 also arrives wide-angle position simultaneously, and shown in Figure 10 (B), the projection 14e of the 1st cam 14 contacts with view finder main body stop component 2a.Afterwards, if photographic lens system moves to the fold back position, then projection 14e still contacts with view finder main body stop component 2a, promptly, 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 still stops at the wide-angle correspondence position, the spring torque of drive plate 13 opposing cam force application springs 17 is further by the terminal rotating drive of counter clockwise direction (D2) to the fold back correspondence position.That is, under the original state of the 1st cam 14 halted states, cam force application spring 17 distortion that twists, thus allow that drive plate 13 rotating drive are to the fold back correspondence position.The state of the terminal of drive plate 13 arrival fold back correspondence positions is shown in Figure 10 (C).
When drive plate 13 with above-mentioned opposite, from above-mentioned fold back correspondence position rotating drive to the wide-angle correspondence position and and then during to long burnt correspondence position, carry out the action opposite with above-mentioned action.Promptly, if photographic lens system moves to photographic wide-angle position from the fold back position, then move interlock with this, drive plate 13 is (anti-D2) turned position from the position rotating drive of Figure 10 (C) to Figure 10 (B) in the direction of the clock, drives projection 13b and contacts with the projection 14e of the 1st cam 14.During to this contact, the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 stops at the wide-angle correspondence position.And, when photographic lens system when move long burnt position, drive plate 13 is (D1) rotating drive in the direction of the clock, projection 14e pushes to equidirectional by driving projection 13b, afterwards, (D1) rotating drive together in the direction of the clock.Therefore, the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 rotates to long burnt correspondence position from the wide-angle correspondence position, and the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 moves to long burnt position from wide-angle position.Then, drive plate the 13, the 1st cam 14 turns to the turned position shown in Figure 10 (A).
To the view finder zoom drive between long burnt, the wide-angle between Figure 10 (B), because the effect of the compression spring power f0 of cam force application spring 17, the junction surface of the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15 can not separated at above-mentioned Figure 10 (A).And, because the torsionspring moment M1 and the compression spring power F1 of lens force application spring 21 act between the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19, thereby can eliminate the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 in the above-mentioned zoom drive relative to rotating of view finder main body 2 loosening (loosening corresponding) with the off-centre of zoom lens, the while can prevent that the cam lever of the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 from separating with cam surface 14b, 15b.And, because hook portion 21a, the 21b of the inclination of lens force application spring 21 are suspended on the carbine of the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19 and hang on jut 18d, the 19d, thereby loosening (loosening corresponding with shaking of zoom lens) that also can eliminate axis hole 18a, 19a and the leading axle 20 of the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19.Therefore, be difficult to produce with above-mentioned zoom drive in the deviation and the off-centre of each zoom position of optical axis Of direction of the 1st, the 2nd zoom lens frames 18,19, can carry out high-precision zoom drive.
As mentioned above, Zoom finder 1 according to present embodiment, during the fold back action that above-mentioned photographic lens is, because the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15, its rotation is limited by view finder main body stop component 2a, and drive plate 13 is rotated, thereby, on cam surface 14b, the 15b of the 1st, the 2nd cam 14,15, no longer need to be equivalent to the useless angle of rotation that becomes of this confined angle of rotation part, can enlarge the effective cam surface part that makes the cam lever advance and retreat thus, can reduce the cam draft angle, and it is easy that the moulding of this cam surface also becomes.Simultaneously, there is no need to set the parting line of mould, improved the driving precision of cam at this cam surface.
And, by under the state that torsionspring moment and compression spring power are provided, between the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19, insert the lens force application spring 21 be wound on the leading axle 20, can prevent with the leading axle 20 between the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 to be the generation of the separating of cam lever 18c, 19c and cam surface 14b, 15b (becoming flexible) etc. of rotating deviation (loosening corresponding), the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 at center with the off-centre of zoom lens.
And, tilt laterally by hook portion 21a, the 21b that makes said lens force application spring 21, the carbine of the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 that is hung with this hook portion is hung jut 18d, 19d to be pushed to foreign side respectively, the axis hole of the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 according to the gap slight inclination of leading axle 20, thereby can make the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 moving sliding in state of not loosening (loosening corresponding) with shaking of zoom lens with leading axle 20.
As mentioned above,, as consider the situation that its temperature rises, then must guarantee to leave certain clearance for the gap of axis hole (fitting portion) and leading axle.And, although, be necessary further to shorten above-mentioned bearing from the viewpoint of miniaturization, yet the result who does like this is, because the gap of above-mentioned axis hole (fitting portion) and leading axle increases the shaking quantity of the 18b of zoom lens portion, 19b, the image that view finder takes place rocks.But, as mentioned above, by the hook portion 21a that utilizes lens force application spring 21, the spring force of 21b, block the gap between above-mentioned axis hole (fitting portion) and the leading axle, thereby the image that view finder can not take place rocks, but high precision is carried out the advance and retreat of the 1st zoom lens frames 18,19 and moved.And, as mentioned above, have the multiple functions such as the application of force of eliminating loosening and cam lever by making the lens force application spring, there is no need additional other force application springs, thereby the Zoom finder of the few Miniaturizable of component parts number of packages can be provided.
