摘要:
An optical apparatus having dust-off function comprises a dust-off filter located in the vicinity of an optical electronic device such as an image-pickup element, an image display element, or the like. An optical apparatus includes a mechanism that controls vibrating operation so that the frequency of vibration waves generated in the filter changes with the passage of time. An optical apparatus includes first vibrator for successive vibration with frequencies, a circuit monitoring the state of vibration of the optical element during vibrating operation of the first vibrator, thereby detecting the resonance frequency of the element, and second vibrator for vibration with the detected resonance frequency or a frequency approximate to it. An optical apparatus includes monitor for monitoring the state of vibration of the filter and a circuit for detecting abnormal states in accordance with output signals from the electrode.

An optical apparatus (camera) having dust-off function comprises a dust-off glass (optical element) located between an image-pickup element and optical system (lens) for forming an image on the light receiving surface of the element. A camera includes a mechanism (piezoelectric element and drive circuit) that controls vibrating operation so that the frequency of vibration waves generated in the glass changes with the passage of time. A camera includes first vibrator (piezoelectric element) for successive vibration with frequencies, a circuit monitoring the state of vibration of the optical element during vibrating operation of the first vibrator, thereby detecting the resonance frequency of the element, and second vibrator (piezoelectric element) for vibration with the detected resonance frequency or a frequency approximate to it. A camera includes monitor (electrode) for monitoring the state of vibration of the glass and a circuit for detecting abnormal states in accordance with output signals from the electrode.

A camera is provided that includes a dust-proofing member which has a transparent portion through which a visible light component is transmitted among beams incident from a photographing lens and which absorbs an infrared component, opposed to the front of an image pick-up device at a predetermined interval. A member for vibration is arranged at a peripheral portion of the dust-proofing member, and applies vibrations to the dust-proofing member. And a sealing structure portion is arranged at a portion formed by opposing the image pick-up device and the dust-proofing member, for sealing a space portion that is substantially sealed at peripheral portions of the image pick-up device and the dust-proofing member.

A camera is provided which includes a dust-proofing member that has a substantially circular or polygonal plate-shape, and that includes a transparent portion at an area having at least a predetermined length in a radial direction from the center thereof, the transparent portion being opposed to the front of the optical device at a predetermined interval. A member for vibration is annularly arranged at a peripheral portion of the dust-proofing member, and applies vibrations to the dust-proofing member. And a sealing structure is arranged to constitute a space portion that is substantially sealed at a portion formed by opposing the image pick-up device and the dust-proofing member by sealing the space portion at peripheral portions of the image pick-up device and the dust-proofing member.
摘要:
A vibration wave motor includes a housing, a rotor, a bearing member, a vibrator serving as an actuator and having a support shaft and a driving element, and a leaf spring having a pressing protrusion. The vibrator is slidably disposed in an opening of the housing along a rotation axis direction of the rotor, and a support shaft of the vibrator is rotatable. The vibrator is held while being urged by the leaf spring and being in contact with the rotor. The vibrator is excited to generate supersonic vibration so that the rotor is rotated. Since the vibrator is movably supported by the housing in the rotation axis direction and the vibrator is urged by the leaf spring and is in contact with a friction contact surface of the rotor, the vibrator is evenly in contact with the rotor in a direction perpendicular to the friction contact surface so as to provide superior driving conditions of the vibration wave motor.
