Abstract

PURPOSE:To minutely adjust the movement of a lens by using a stepping motor for a driving source for driving a lens part, and moving it by a multi-division driving system of a current control type whose number of divisions is variable. CONSTITUTION:When a lens position is varied to a certain position due to a fluctuation of an object to be photographed, its moving distance is calculated, and the number of moving steps of a stepping motor determined from its value is derived. By this value, the number of divisions is determined by a division number switching circuit 28, and the stepping motor 11 is energized by a current control type multi-division driving circuit 26 of the next stage, a driving gear 13 is moved by rotating a shaft, and a lens part 12 is moved. Accordingly, a rotor of the stepping motor 11 can be stopped at an arbitrary part, and the minute adjustment of the lens 12 can be realized simply by considering only the number of divisions.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a lens driving method for industrial equipment having a lens barrel.

Conventional technology Devices with lenses have existed in all kinds of fields since the past, but due to the desire to be lighter, thinner, and smaller, these devices have also become smaller and smaller.
Progress is being made towards weight reduction. Therefore, it is becoming necessary to adopt a similarly simplified structure for the lens portion. Against this background, small DC motors have been used as a drive source for moving the lens portion.

以下、図面を参照しながら上述した従来のレンズ駆動方

Hereinafter, the conventional lens driving method described above will be explained using a video camera as an example with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 5, 51 is a small DC motor, 12 is a lens section, 53 is a drive gear for moving the lens section, 14 is a lens barrel body, and 55 is a position sensor for detecting the lens position. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 66 denotes a drive circuit for the motor 51, which controls the rotational direction, stopping, and starting of the motor 51. 67 is an error amplifier that calculates the difference between the position command of the lens unit and the current position information from the position sensor 55, and controls the motor position so that this output value, that is, the difference disappears.

The operation of the lens driving method configured as above will be described below.

First, if the copy object moves or needs to be enlarged, the lens position must be changed to an arbitrary position. At this time, the lens position command is changed as shown in FIG. 6, the small DC motor is driven, and the lens 12 connected through the gear is moved. Then, the motor is stopped when the lens unit has completely moved to an arbitrary position.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, the lens barrel body has
This requires a small DC motor and a position sensor outside the lens U, resulting in increased weight and cost. In addition, the circuit that constitutes the position servo increases the circuit cost, and the position performance is related not only to the motor performance but also to the position sensor performance and circuit performance, so there are many variables, so it is impossible to use a simplified lens. It's hard to say that it's a driving method.

In addition, vibration components that are originally generated due to the rigidity of the lens boundary cannot be completely suppressed because they coexist in the resonant frequency band when the small DC motor and deceleration mechanism operate. Unnecessary costs were incurred, such as the need to use anti-vibration materials such as anti-vibration rubber.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the method for driving a lens barrel of the present invention uses a stepping motor as a drive source for the lens section, and uses a current-controlled multi-segment excitation method as the excitation method.

In FIG. 1, 11 is a stepping motor, 12 is a lens section, 13 is a drive gear that directly moves the lens section, and 14 is a lens barrel body.

First, in Figure 2, when the lens position is changed to a certain position due to the movement of the copying object, calculate the moving distance,
The number of moving steps of the stepping motor is determined from that value. Based on this value, the number of divisions is set by the division number switching circuit 2.
8, the current-controlled multi-division drive circuit 26 in the next stage energizes the stepping motor 11, rotates the shaft, moves the drive gear 13 shown in FIG. 1, and moves the lens section 12. At this time, the current shown in FIG. 3 or 4 flows through the stepping motor as described above. Therefore, it is possible to stop the rotor of the stepping motor at any location, and fine adjustment of the lens can be easily achieved by considering only the number of divisions. Now, it is possible to configure the circuit with only a certain number of divisions without using the division number switching circuit 28, but
When considering the responsiveness of the lens drive and the ability to follow changes in the subject, it is possible to achieve better results by using this circuit. In this embodiment, the switching is performed in the 2flI class, but the same applies to the case of a plurality of switching.

In addition, conventional small DC motors require position sensors for positioning control, and the performance of these sensors often affects the control performance, but this system does not require them at all. This means that there are fewer factors that can cause fluctuations in control performance (so it can be said that performance is improved).At the same time, in the case of a small DC motor, it is not easy to control the motor rotation speed, so in the case of the current case, the resonance of the lens barrel It was not possible to move the lens by shifting the frequency, but in this case it is possible to drive the lens by shifting the resonance frequency of the lens barrel in advance, so it is possible to move the lens by shifting the resonance frequency of the lens barrel. There is no need for a vibration structure, resulting in a significant weight reduction.
It also becomes possible to achieve design freedom and cost reduction.
