Blade drive device and optical instrument
A blade drive device includes: a board including an opening; first and second blades opening and closing the opening; and first and second actuators arranged adjacent to each other and respectively driving the first and second blades, wherein the first and second actuators respectively include first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils, and the first and second rotors is arranged to sandwich at least one of the first and second coils.
1. A blade drive device, comprising:
a board including an opening;
first and second blades opening and closing the opening; and
first and second actuators arranged adjacent to each other and respectively driving the first and second blades,
wherein the first and second actuators respectively include first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils, and
the first and second rotors are arranged to sandwich at least one of the first and second coils,
wherein the blade drive device further comprises:
a first output member rotating together with the first rotor; and
a first drive member always engaged with the first output member and driving the first blade,
wherein at least part of the first output member and at least part of the first drive member overlap at least part of the first stator and the first coil, when viewed in an optical axis direction of the opening.
2. The blade drive device of claim 1 , wherein
the first and second actuators are arranged in a longitudinal direction of the first actuator and in a longitudinal direction of the second actuator, and
the first and second rotors are respectively arranged at both end portions in the longitudinal direction of a whole region of the first and second actuators.
3. The blade drive device of claim 1 , further comprising:
the first output member includes a first output teeth portion; and
the first drive member includes a first following teeth portion meshing with the first output teeth portion.
4. The blade drive device of claim 1 , wherein the first output member is integrally formed with the first rotor.
5. The blade drive device of claim 1 , further comprising a holder holding both the first and second actuators and attached to the board,
wherein the first and second actuators are unitized with the holder.
6. An optical instrument comprising a blade drive device, comprising:
a board including an opening;
first and second blades opening and closing the opening; and
first and second actuators arranged adjacent to each other and respectively driving the first and second blades,
wherein the first and second actuators respectively include first and second stators, first and second rotors, and first and second coils, and
the first and second rotors are arranged to sandwich at least one of the first and second coils,
wherein the blade drive device further comprises:
a first output member rotating together with the first rotor; and
a first drive member always engaged with the first output member and driving the first blade,
wherein at least part of the first output member and at least part of the first drive member overlap at least part of the first stator and the first coil, when viewed in an optical axis direction of the opening.
