The conventional mounting mechanism and mounting method for an image pickup device described above have the following drawbacks. (1) After assembling the image sensor holder etc., it is essential to adjust the optical axis and the image tilt. (2) An accurate adjustment chart is essential. (3) In order to obtain an accurate adjustment result, it is necessary to accurately align the adjustment chart and the image pickup optical system.

(4) In the conventional configuration, the assembling direction is not one direction {the filter holder 5 is attached in the direction of the arrow α and the image pickup device holder 6 is attached in the direction of the arrow β}, which is not suitable for the automation of the assembly. . (5) Since the relative positioning between the image sensor 4 and the optical filter 3 is not performed, the effect of the optical filter 3 tends to vary. (6) Since the image pickup device holder 6 is made of aluminum die-cast, it is heavy and the cost increases due to cutting.

(7) Since the shape of the image sensor holder 6 is point-symmetrical as shown in the plan view of FIG. 4, it is difficult to notice even if the temporary product number 4a is written on the image sensor 4, etc., and the image sensor 4 is imaged. An operator may attach the lens in the opposite direction (upside down) from the normal direction. (8) With the above-mentioned configuration, in which the optical axis and the image tilt adjustment are unnecessary by providing the reference for the package of the image sensor 4, the adjustment accuracy is poor because the dimensional accuracy of the package is poor, and The package is large and inconvenient. (9) When trouble occurs in the image pickup element 4, the image pickup lens, etc., the operator must disassemble and repair parts such as parts replacement. However, for the subsequent optical axis adjustment and image tilt adjustment, the adjustment is performed.

Large and small circular bosses 12e and 12f are provided in the filter holder 5 at positions facing the round holes 11e and 11f, respectively.
Moreover, since the notches 5a and 6a are formed at the same position on one side of the holders 5 and 6, respectively, the operator can easily recognize the vertical direction. If a mistake is made, the large circular boss 12e will not fit into the smaller round hole 11f, so that the misplacement can be immediately recognized. Similarly, a round hole 11g and an elliptical hole (or an elongated hole) 11h are formed in the mount portion 2 of the lens housing 1, and the filter holder 5 is provided at a position facing the round hole 11g and the elliptical hole 11h. , Large and small circular bosses 12g and 12h that cannot be fitted in the opposite combination are provided.

With the mounting mechanism and the mounting (assembling) method as described above, the image pickup device 4 itself can be fixed by adjusting the optical axis and the image tilt with respect to the position reference, and high adjustment accuracy can be obtained. Therefore, the image sensor 4 and the optical filter 3
The relative position with and became more accurate, and the variation in the effect due to the optical filter was reduced. Further, in the case where a problem occurs in the image pickup device 4, the image pickup lens, etc., it is not necessary to use the automatic assembling apparatus or the adjustment chart, and the operator disassembles and repairs such as parts replacement. Attach the sub-assembly together with the optical filter holder 5 to the screw hole 2 of the mount 2.
Since the screws 9c and 9d may be screwed onto the a and 2b and fixed, it is possible to easily assemble. Therefore, the image plane position moves in the optical axis direction because the design value of the optical filter is different because the number of pixels or the spectral characteristic of the image sensor is different, or because the package of the image sensor is different, If the optical filter holder 5 is designed according to the position of the image plane,
It is possible to deal with the movement of the image plane position.

(9) The number of fastening points (number of screws) is reduced, which facilitates the assembly. (10) The image plane position moves in the optical axis direction because the design value of the optical filter is different due to the difference in the number of pixels of the image sensor or the spectral characteristics, or because the package of the image sensor is different. If the holder is designed according to the position of the image plane, it is possible to deal with the movement of the image plane position. (11) When trouble occurs in the image sensor or the imaging lens,
After the worker disassembles this and performs repairs such as parts replacement, it is possible to easily assemble without using an automatic assembly device.
