Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a mount with an enough strength even though excessive load is added on the periphery of a screw hole by making the length and the thickness of a flange part in a diameter direction on the periphery of the screw hole partially large. CONSTITUTION:On an optical equipment in which the mount 1 whose flat front end surface is made to be an abutting surface for the other optical equipment, and which has the flange part 1d on a periphery part and which is nearly annularly formed, made of resin and plurally provided with the screw holes 1c piercing in a thickness direction in the peripheral direction is fixed to a main body by the screws piercing the plural screw holes 1c, the flange part 1d of the mount 1 makes its peripheral part larger than the other part corresponding to the screw holes 1c in the diameter direction or the thickness direction. Thus, the mount is made to have the enough strength with respect to the excessive load.

The structure of such a mount is shown in FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a mount molded from a synthetic resin material, and is formed in a flat annular shape. Reference numeral 1a denotes a lens abutment surface, which abuts against a reference surface of an interchangeable lens (not shown) to maintain flange back from the lens to the film, image sensor, etc. The mount 1 is provided with three bayonet claws 1b including a portion not shown. Further, screw holes 1c, which are through holes, are provided at four locations, and are fixed to the front plate 2, which is a structural member of the camera body, with screws. Further, a flange 1d is provided on the outer periphery with a predetermined level difference from the lens abutting surface 1a.

FIG. 4 is a cross section shown at AA in FIG. 3, and the structure of the screw hole 1c will be explained. Reference numeral 3 denotes a mount on the interchangeable lens side, which has a reference surface 3a that abuts against the abutment surface 1a of the mount 1, and a claw portion 3b that engages with the bayonet claw 1b. Although there is a gap between the bayonet claw 1b and the claw 3b of the lens mount 3, the claw 3b of the lens mount 3 is biased to the right in the figure by a leaf spring (not shown) in a place where this cross section is not blocked. It is ensured that the surface 1a and the lens reference surface 3a are in contact with each other. Reference numeral 4 denotes a cover that forms the exterior, and by overlapping with the flange 1d of the mount 1, prevents the inside from being seen through the gap between the mount 1 and the cover 4. The screw hole 1c of the mount 1 has a small diameter part that fits loosely with the threaded part of the screw, and a large diameter part, and by inserting the screws into the large diameter part, the screws abut against the lens reference surface 3a. This is done so that the surface 1a does not come into contact with the surface 1a.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the conventional example described above, the camera mount 1 is fixed to the front plate 2 through the screw hole I drilled in the mount 1.
Since the method is to screw a screw through C, the mount 1 is supported and fixed only in the area where the head of the screw and the periphery of the screw hole 1c have a small contact area.

For this reason, for example, if some load is applied to the tip of an interchangeable lens, stress will be concentrated at the contact area with the screw head, which has a small contact area, and the other parts of the mount 1 will not be able to withstand the load sufficiently. Even in situations where mount 1 is made of synthetic resin, these stress-concentrating parts may deform or

The purpose of the present invention is to solve such conventional problems, prevent stress concentration caused by screws for fixing the mount, and fix the mount to the main body of an optical device such as a camera with sufficient strength even if the mount is made of synthetic resin. A possible mount attachment is to provide an optical device with a structure.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the structure is such that the flat front end surface is used as the abutment surface of another optical device, has a flange portion on the periphery, and penetrates in the thickness direction. In an optical device in which a resin mount formed in a substantially annular shape with a plurality of screw holes in the circumferential direction is fixed to the main body with screws passing through the plurality of screw holes, the flange of the mount has a plurality of screw holes. In response to this, the peripheral portion is made larger than other portions in the radial direction or thickness direction.

[Embodiment] Figure 1 shows an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a camera. In this embodiment, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the same members as those shown in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, in the collar portion 1d of the mount 1, the radial length of the peripheral portion 1e of the screw hole 1c drilled in the mount 1 is increased, and the cross-sectional area in the axial direction around the screw hole 10 is increased. There is.

Therefore, rigidity is increased and stress concentration is reduced. 4 shows the general outline of the cover around the mount, but there is no space between the outer cover on the left, right, and lower sides of mount 1, and there is generally a pentaprism on the upper side.
After all, I can't afford to add more meat to the brim. In the figure, 48 is a lock release button for releasing the lens lock that is locked in the rotational direction to the mount when removing the interchangeable lens from the camera, but for ease of operation and mechanical reasons, it should be located near the mount. is desirable. Therefore, in this embodiment, the fixing position of the screw for fixing the mount 1 is set to a position other than the vertical and horizontal positions of the center of the mount, and by enlarging only the flange around the mount, the size of the camera can be increased. and the arrangement of the mechanism.

In this embodiment, a groove 2a is formed in the front plate 2, facing the collar 1d of the mount 1, and corresponding to the periphery of the screw hole IC. A matching thickened portion 1f is extended. In other words, increasing the thickness of the collar portion 1d by increasing the thickness of the flange portion 1f increases the moment of inertia of the area compared to increasing the thickness of the flange portion 1d in the radial direction of the mount by the same volume, so the effect of increasing the rigidity is also greater. growing.

In addition, if the gap between the cover 4 and the cover 4 is increased by leaving a gap equal to the tolerance of the parts, the mount 1 will be separated from the front plate 2 due to a large impact, such as when the camera is dropped. Even if deflection occurs in the direction, it has the effect of preventing cover 4 or more from deflecting and preventing damage.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, the mount can have sufficient strength against excessive loads. Further, by arranging the fixing screw holes of the mount at positions other than the upper, lower, left, and right sides of the center of the mount, the size of the optical device such as a camera, and the mechanical arrangement can remain the same as before.
