Description

本発明は、アクセサリ機器を取り付けるアクセサリシューを備えた撮像装置、及び撮像システムに関するものである。   The present invention relates to an imaging device including an accessory shoe to which an accessory device is attached, and an imaging system.

撮像装置に、フラッシュ装置や、ライト装置、マイク装置等のアクセサリ機器を取り付けるアクセサリシューを備えたものは既に知られている。   An imaging device having an accessory shoe for attaching accessory devices such as a flash device, a light device, and a microphone device is already known.

例えば、特許文献１には、図１２〜図１４に示すように、電子ビューファインダ（以下、ＥＶＦと略す）５１を操作者側である後方に引き出し自在に構成するとともに、このＥＶＦ５１の前部（被写体側の近傍箇所）に、アクセサリ機器５３を取り付け可能なアクセサリシュー５２を配設した撮像装置５０が開示されている。この撮像装置５０では、ＥＶＦ５１を操作者側に引き出すことで形成される凹部５４（図１４（ｂ）参照）に、アクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入してアクセサリ機器５３を前方にスライドさせることで、アクセサリシュー５２にアクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入、係合させて、アクセサリ機器５３を撮像装置５０に取り付けることができるよう構成している。この種の撮像装置５０では、撮像装置５０の上面部中央位置に、アクセサリシュー５２が配設されている。なお、図１３において、ユーザは、撮像する際には、手を差し入れて撮像装置５０を把持するためのグリップ用ベルト５５と撮像装置５０との間に手を差し入れて、撮像装置５０のグリップ部（撮像装置５０の本体部分における右側面から上面にかけての部分）を把持しながら操作する。アクセサリ機器５３を使用しないときには、アクセサリシュー５２の配設箇所はカバー５６で覆われる。   For example, in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, an electronic viewfinder (hereinafter abbreviated as “EVF”) 51 is configured to be freely retractable to the rear side on the operator side, and a front portion ( An imaging device 50 is disclosed in which an accessory shoe 52 to which an accessory device 53 can be attached is disposed in the vicinity of the subject side). In the imaging apparatus 50, the accessory device 53 is slid forward by inserting the mounting portion 53a of the accessory device 53 into the concave portion 54 (see FIG. 14B) formed by pulling out the EVF 51 to the operator side. Thus, the accessory device 53 can be attached to the imaging device 50 by inserting and engaging the mounting portion 53 a of the accessory device 53 with the accessory shoe 52. In this type of imaging device 50, an accessory shoe 52 is disposed at the center position of the upper surface of the imaging device 50. In FIG. 13, when imaging, the user inserts a hand between the grip belt 55 for gripping the imaging device 50 by inserting his hand and the imaging device 50, and the grip portion of the imaging device 50. The operation is performed while gripping (the portion from the right side surface to the upper surface of the main body portion of the imaging device 50). When the accessory device 53 is not used, the location of the accessory shoe 52 is covered with a cover 56.

また、アクセサリ機器を撮像装置に取り付けるためのアクセサリシューの形状に一部工夫を設けた撮像システムも知られている。   There is also known an imaging system in which a part of the shape of an accessory shoe for attaching an accessory device to an imaging apparatus is provided.

例えば、特許文献２には、図１５〜図１６に示すように、板金部材よりなるアクセサリシュー１１７の一部にストッパ片１１７ｄを形成して構成したものがある。
特開２００５−１９１７００号公報 特開２００４−２９７３３号公報 For example, as shown in FIGS. 15 to 16, Patent Document 2 includes a configuration in which a stopper piece 117 d is formed on a part of an accessory shoe 117 made of a sheet metal member.

しかしながら、特許文献１に示されているような従来の撮像装置５０では、撮像装置５０の上面部、ＥＶＦ５１の前部にアクセサリシュー５２が配設されているため、アクセサリ機器５３を着脱する際には、その都度ＥＶＦ５１を操作者側に引き出す必要があり、操作性が悪かった。   However, in the conventional imaging device 50 as shown in Patent Document 1, since the accessory shoe 52 is disposed on the upper surface portion of the imaging device 50 and the front portion of the EVF 51, the accessory device 53 is attached and detached. Each time, it was necessary to pull out the EVF 51 to the operator side, and the operability was poor.

また、アクセサリ機器５３を挿入してアクセサリシュー５２に締め付け固定するまでの間や、締め付けが緩んだ場合にアクセサリ機器５３が抜け落ちる恐れがあった。   Further, there is a possibility that the accessory device 53 may fall off until the accessory device 53 is inserted and tightened and fixed to the accessory shoe 52 or when the tightening is loosened.

更には、外観品格の低下を補うために設けた、アクセサリシュー５２の配設箇所を覆うカバー５６も着脱する必要があった。   Furthermore, it is necessary to attach and detach the cover 56 that covers the place where the accessory shoe 52 is provided, in order to compensate for the deterioration of the appearance quality.

しかも、アクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入する空間を確保するためにＥＶＦ５１を操作者側に引き出す必要があるため、その引き出し機構を設けることで撮像装置５０のコストアップや小型化の障害となっていた。   Moreover, since it is necessary to pull out the EVF 51 to the operator side in order to secure a space for inserting the mounting portion 53a of the accessory device 53, the provision of the pull-out mechanism hinders the cost increase and miniaturization of the imaging device 50. It was.

また、特許文献２に示されているような従来の撮像システムにおいては、図１５に示すように板金部材よりなるアクセサリシュー１１７の一部にストッパ片１１７ｄを形成することにより、締め付けがわずかに緩んだ程度で図１６に示す寸法Ｈよりも寸法Ｌが小さければアクセサリ機器５３が抜け落ちる恐れはなくなる。   Further, in the conventional imaging system as shown in Patent Document 2, the stopper piece 117d is formed on a part of the accessory shoe 117 made of a sheet metal member as shown in FIG. If the dimension L is smaller than the dimension H shown in FIG. 16, there is no possibility that the accessory device 53 falls off.

しかし、アクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入しただけで、締付リング１０５を締め付ける前の状態においては、寸法Ｈよりも寸法Ｌが大きいため、落下防止の効果はない。   However, since the dimension L is larger than the dimension H in the state before the fastening ring 105 is tightened just by inserting the mounting portion 53a of the accessory device 53, there is no effect of preventing the fall.

またアクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入する部分が開口していることによる、外観品格の低下も免れないなどの課題があった。   In addition, there is a problem in that deterioration in appearance quality is unavoidable due to the opening of the portion for inserting the mounting portion 53a of the accessory device 53.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するもので、アクセサリ機器５３の着脱が容易で、アクセサリ機器５３の不用意な落下を防止し、かつ外観品格も損なわず、撮像装置５０の小型化も可能な、撮像装置を提供することを目的とするものである。   The present invention solves the above-described problem, and the accessory device 53 can be easily attached and detached, the accessory device 53 is prevented from being accidentally dropped, the appearance quality is not impaired, and the imaging device 50 can be downsized. An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging device.

上記課題を解決するために本発明の撮像装置は、アクセサリ機器を取り付け可能なアクセサリシューと、前記アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入する前記アクセサリシューの挿入口近傍に、前記挿入口を遮蔽／開放すべく配設した開閉扉と、前記開閉扉を付勢する弾性部材と、を備え、前記開閉扉は、前記アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入完了した状態あるいは挿入されていない状態においては前記弾性部材により前記挿入口を遮蔽する。   In order to solve the above-described problems, an imaging apparatus according to the present invention shields / opens an insertion shoe in the vicinity of an accessory shoe to which an accessory device can be attached and an accessory shoe into which the attachment portion of the accessory device is inserted. The opening / closing door is provided with an elastic member that urges the opening / closing door, and the opening / closing door is moved by the elastic member in a state where the mounting portion of the accessory device is completely inserted or not inserted. The insertion port is shielded.

この構成により、前記アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入完了した状態において、前記挿入口は開閉扉で遮蔽されるので、アクセサリ機器の不用意な落下を防止することができる。なおかつ、アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入完了した状態あるいは挿入されていない状態のいずれにおいても前記挿入口は開閉扉で遮蔽されているので、外観品格も損なわない。   With this configuration, the insertion port is shielded by the opening / closing door in a state where the insertion portion of the accessory device has been inserted, so that the accessory device can be prevented from being accidentally dropped. In addition, since the insertion port is shielded by the opening / closing door in either the state where the attachment portion of the accessory device is completely inserted or not inserted, the appearance quality is not impaired.

また本発明は、前記アクセサリシューは、被写体の方向に対して略直交する方向に前記アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入するよう、挿入口を配置してもよい。   In the present invention, the accessory shoe may be provided with an insertion port so that the attachment portion of the accessory device is inserted in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the subject.

この構成により、その都度ＥＶＦを操作者側に引き出す必要がなくなるので、アクセサリ機器の着脱が容易であり、なおかつ引き出し機構を設ける必要が無いので撮像装置の小型化やコストダウンもできる。   With this configuration, it is not necessary to pull out the EVF to the operator each time, so that the accessory device can be easily attached and detached, and it is not necessary to provide a pull-out mechanism, so that the imaging apparatus can be reduced in size and cost.

本発明によれば、アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入完了した状態において、挿入口が開閉扉で遮蔽されるので、アクセサリ機器の不用意な落下を防止することができる。   According to the present invention, since the insertion port is shielded by the opening / closing door in a state where the insertion portion of the accessory device has been inserted, the accessory device can be prevented from being accidentally dropped.

また、アクセサリ機器の装着部を挿入完了した状態あるいは挿入されていない状態のいずれにおいても前記挿入口は開閉扉で遮蔽されているので、外観品格も損なわない。   Moreover, since the insertion port is shielded by the open / close door in either the state where the attachment portion of the accessory device is completely inserted or not inserted, the appearance quality is not impaired.

以下、本発明の実施の形態に係る撮像装置について、図面を参照しながら説明する。ここで、図１から図４は、本発明の実施の形態に係る撮像装置を操作者側から被写体側に向けて斜めに見た（斜め後方から見た）斜視図を示す。   Hereinafter, imaging devices according to embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Here, FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 are perspective views of the imaging apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention viewed obliquely from the operator side toward the subject side (viewed obliquely from the rear).

撮像装置１の後面上部には、撮像画像などを表示するＥＶＦ４が固定配置され、さらに撮像装置１の左側面には、撮像画像や再生画像などを表示できる液晶モニター５を配設している。なお液晶モニター５は、図１および図２に示すように開閉可能に配設されている。   An EVF 4 for displaying a captured image or the like is fixedly arranged on the upper rear surface of the imaging apparatus 1, and a liquid crystal monitor 5 that can display a captured image or a reproduced image is disposed on the left side of the imaging apparatus 1. The liquid crystal monitor 5 is disposed so as to be openable and closable as shown in FIGS.

また、図３は液晶モニター５を開いてアクセサリ機器５３を挿入する動作を、図４はアクセサリ機器５３を装着完了した状態を、それぞれ示したものである。   3 shows an operation of opening the liquid crystal monitor 5 and inserting the accessory device 53, and FIG. 4 shows a state where the accessory device 53 is completely attached.

なお、以下の説明においては、基本的に被写体側（図１の紙面における左上）を前方、撮像装置を操作する操作者側（図１の紙面における右下）を後方と称し、被写体側を向いた状態で左となる側（図１の紙面における左下となる方向）を左側と称し、被写体側を向いた状態で右となる側（図１の紙面における右上となる方向）を右側と称す。   In the following description, the subject side (upper left in the drawing of FIG. 1) is basically referred to as the front, and the operator operating the imaging apparatus (lower right in the drawing of FIG. 1) is referred to as the rear. The left side (the direction of the lower left in the paper of FIG. 1) in the state of being in the state is referred to as the left side, and the right side (the direction of the upper right of the paper in FIG. 1) of the subject side is referred to as the right.

図１〜図４において、撮像装置１は、前方（被写体側）に臨ませて撮像レンズ（図示せず）が配設されているとともに、撮像装置１の本体部分には撮像素子や記録媒体等（図示せず）が内蔵されており、撮像情報を記録再生可能に構成されている。   1 to 4, the image pickup apparatus 1 is provided with an image pickup lens (not shown) facing the front (subject side), and an image pickup device, a recording medium, and the like are provided on the main body of the image pickup apparatus 1. (Not shown) is built in, and is configured to record and reproduce imaging information.

図１〜図４に示すように、アクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入し固定するためのアクセサリシュー１１は、ＥＶＦ４の前方に配設されている。アクセサリシュー１１の左側には、装着部５３ａを挿入する挿入口１１ａが形成されており、さらにその左側には挿入口１１ａを遮蔽／開放する開閉扉であるカバー１２を配設している。   As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the accessory shoe 11 for inserting and fixing the mounting portion 53 a of the accessory device 53 is disposed in front of the EVF 4. An insertion port 11a for inserting the mounting portion 53a is formed on the left side of the accessory shoe 11, and a cover 12 that is an open / close door that shields / opens the insertion port 11a is disposed on the left side of the accessory shoe 11.

図５はアクセサリシュー１１の周りの構成を示す分解斜視図である。   FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a configuration around the accessory shoe 11.

また図６〜図１１は、アクセサリ機器５３をアクセサリシュー１１に装着する際の動作を示す図であり、図６〜図９は図２に示すＸａ−Ｘａ線における矢視断面図、図１０および図１１は図２に示すＸｂ−Ｘｂ線における矢視断面図を、それぞれ示したものである。   6 to 11 are views showing the operation when the accessory device 53 is attached to the accessory shoe 11. FIGS. 6 to 9 are cross-sectional views taken along the line Xa-Xa shown in FIG. FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along line Xb-Xb shown in FIG.

図５〜図９に示すように、カバー１２にはバネ軸１２ａを一体的に形成しており、このバネ軸１２ａには弾性部材である圧縮コイルバネ１３を挿入し、その一端はカバー１２の底面１２ｂに当接させている。これを図５に示すように、アクセサリシュー１１を固定する部品であるシューベース１４に挿入する。シューベース１４にはバネ受け部１４ａを一体的に形成しており、圧縮コイルバネ１３のもう一端を受け、圧縮コイルバネ１３が常に弾性圧縮されるように取り付けられる。アクセサリシュー１１は、シュー固定ビス１５にてシューベース１４に固定される。   As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, a spring shaft 12 a is formed integrally with the cover 12, and a compression coil spring 13, which is an elastic member, is inserted into the spring shaft 12 a, and one end thereof is the bottom surface of the cover 12. 12b. As shown in FIG. 5, this is inserted into a shoe base 14 which is a part for fixing the accessory shoe 11. A spring receiving portion 14a is integrally formed on the shoe base 14, and the other end of the compression coil spring 13 is received so that the compression coil spring 13 is always elastically compressed. The accessory shoe 11 is fixed to the shoe base 14 with a shoe fixing screw 15.

このように組み立てられたユニットは、ユニット固定ビス１７にてサイドＲケース１６に取り付けられる。なお、カバー１２には指掛けリブ１２ｃを形成している。   The unit assembled in this way is attached to the side R case 16 with a unit fixing screw 17. The cover 12 is formed with finger hooking ribs 12c.

図６〜図１１を使って、以下にアクセサリ機器５３の装着動作を説明する。   The attachment operation of the accessory device 53 will be described below with reference to FIGS.

図６に示すように、カバー１２は圧縮コイルバネ１３により付勢されて常に押し上げられており、挿入口１１ａはカバー１２で遮蔽されている。   As shown in FIG. 6, the cover 12 is always pushed up by being urged by the compression coil spring 13, and the insertion port 11 a is shielded by the cover 12.

アクセサリ機器５３を装着するには、図６に示すようにその装着部５３ａをカバー１２の天面１２ｄに上方から当ててカバー１２を押し下げるか、あるいは図７に示すように指掛けリブ１２ｃに指を押し当て、カバー１２を下方にスライドさせるかの、いずれかの方法で挿入口１１ａを図１０のように開口させた後、装着部５３ａを左側から挿入する。   In order to mount the accessory device 53, the mounting portion 53a is applied to the top surface 12d of the cover 12 from above as shown in FIG. 6 and the cover 12 is pushed down, or a finger is applied to the finger hooking rib 12c as shown in FIG. After the insertion port 11a is opened as shown in FIG. 10 by either pressing or sliding the cover 12 downward, the mounting portion 53a is inserted from the left side.

図８のように装着部５３ａを右側に向かって当て面１４ｂに当たるまで挿入すると、図９および図１１に示すようにカバー１２が圧縮コイルバネ１３により押し上げられる。これにより、挿入口１１ａはカバー１２で遮蔽され、装着部５３ａが固定される。   When the mounting portion 53a is inserted toward the right side until it hits the contact surface 14b as shown in FIG. 8, the cover 12 is pushed up by the compression coil spring 13 as shown in FIGS. Thereby, the insertion port 11a is shielded by the cover 12, and the mounting portion 53a is fixed.

上記の構成によれば、装着部５３ａが挿入されると挿入口１１ａが圧縮コイルバネ１３の反力によりカバー１２で自動的に遮蔽されるので、アクセサリ機器５３の不用意な落下を防止することができる。   According to the above configuration, when the mounting portion 53a is inserted, the insertion port 11a is automatically shielded by the cover 12 by the reaction force of the compression coil spring 13, so that the accessory device 53 can be prevented from being accidentally dropped. it can.

また、アクセサリ機器５３の装着部５３ａを挿入完了した状態あるいは挿入されていない状態のいずれにおいても挿入口１１ａはカバー１２で遮蔽されているので、外観品格も損なわない。   Moreover, since the insertion port 11a is shielded by the cover 12 in either the state where the insertion portion 53a of the accessory device 53 is completely inserted or not inserted, the appearance quality is not impaired.

さらに、アクセサリシュー１１は、被写体の方向に対して略直交する方向にアクセサリ機器５３を挿入するよう、挿入口１１ａを配置したことにより、その都度ＥＶＦ４を操作者側に引き出す必要がなくなるので、アクセサリ機器５３の着脱が容易であり、なおかつ引き出し機構を設ける必要が無いので、撮像装置１の小型化やコストダウンもできる。   Further, since the accessory shoe 11 is provided with the insertion port 11a so that the accessory device 53 is inserted in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of the subject, it is not necessary to pull out the EVF 4 to the operator each time. Since the device 53 can be easily attached and detached, and it is not necessary to provide a drawer mechanism, the imaging device 1 can be reduced in size and cost.

なお本実施の形態では、カバー１２の左側を液晶モニター５で覆っているため、アクセサリ機器５３を装着する際には液晶モニター５を開く必要があるが、必ずしもカバー１２の左側を液晶モニター５で覆う構成にする必要はなく、液晶モニター５を閉じていてもカバー１２を下げれば挿入口１１ａが開口する構成であっても構わない。   In the present embodiment, since the left side of the cover 12 is covered with the liquid crystal monitor 5, it is necessary to open the liquid crystal monitor 5 when the accessory device 53 is mounted, but the left side of the cover 12 is not necessarily the liquid crystal monitor 5. There is no need to cover the liquid crystal monitor 5, and even if the liquid crystal monitor 5 is closed, the insertion opening 11 a may be opened if the cover 12 is lowered.

また本実施の形態では、撮像装置１の左側にカバー１２や挿入口１１ａを配置したが、これらを撮像装置１の右側や前側に配置してアクセサリ機器５３を右側や前側から挿入する構成としても、ＥＶＦ４を引き出す必要がなく同様の効果が得られる。   In the present embodiment, the cover 12 and the insertion slot 11a are arranged on the left side of the imaging device 1, but these may be arranged on the right side and front side of the imaging device 1 to insert the accessory device 53 from the right side and front side. , EVF4 need not be pulled out and the same effect can be obtained.

本発明は、アクセサリ機器を取り付け可能なビデオカメラ、デジタルスチルカメラ等の撮像装置に適用することが可能であり、有用である。   The present invention can be applied to an imaging apparatus such as a video camera or a digital still camera to which an accessory device can be attached, and is useful.
