Abstract

A blade drive device includes: a board that has an opening; a blade that opens and closes the opening; and a drive source that drives the blade. The drive source includes a rotor rotatably supported and a stator for applying a rotational force to the rotor. The stator, around which a coil for excitation is wound, has a fitting hole fitted with a projective portion formed on the board and has a rectangular shape.

Claims (28)

1. A blade drive device comprising:

a board that has an engagement pin and an opening;

a blade that opens and closes the opening; and

a drive source that drives the blade,

the drive source comprising:

a single rotor rotatably supported; and

a stator for applying a rotational force to the rotor, wherein a coil for excitation is wound around the stator, wherein the stator has a fitting hole fitted with a projective portion formed on the board, wherein the stator has a rectangular shape,

wherein the stator surrounds the opening of the board,

wherein the stator includes a plurality of iron pieces connected to each other, and

each of the plurality of iron pieces has a fitting hole into which the projective portion is fitted, each of the plurality of iron pieces has an engagement recess portion with which the engagement pin is engaged,

wherein the stator has the rectangular shape when viewed in a direction of a shaft of the rotor,

wherein the stator is fixed on the board by thermal caulking the projective portion.

2. The blade drive device of claim 1 , wherein the blade overlaps the stator in an optical axis direction and is positioned at a receded position to be receded from the opening.

3. The blade drive device of claim 2 , wherein the coil is wound around the stator in such a position that the stator does not interfere with the blade positioned at the receded position.

4. A blade drive device comprising:

a board that has an engagement pin and an opening;

a blade that opens and closes the opening; and

a drive source that drives the blade,

the drive source comprising:

a single rotor rotatably supported; and

a stator for applying a rotational force to the rotor, wherein a coil for excitation is wound around the stator, wherein the stator has a fitting hole fitted with a projective portion formed on the board, wherein the stator has a rectangular shape,

wherein the stator surrounds the opening of the board,

wherein the stator includes a plurality of iron pieces connected to each other, and

each of the plurality of iron pieces has a fitting hole into which the projective portion is fitted, each of the plurality of iron pieces has an engagement recess portion with which the engagement pin is engaged,

wherein the stator has the rectangular shape when viewed in a direction of a shaft of the rotor,

wherein the stator is fixed on the board by press fitting the projective portion into the fitting hole.

5. The blade drive device of claim 4 , wherein the blade overlaps the stator in an optical axis direction and is positioned at a receded position to be receded from the opening.

6. The blade drive device of claim 4 , wherein the coil is wound around the stator in such a position that the stator does not interfere with the blade positioned at the receded position.
