Abstract

A camera shutter device and an optical apparatus having the same are disclosed, wherein the device includes a core including a first rod and a second rod, each arranged in parallel with the other, and one of which is wrapped by a coil, a first distal end formed at the first rod to generate an electromagnetic force line, and a second distal end formed at the second rod to generate an electromagnetic force line, a magnet arranged in opposition to the first and second distal ends to linearly and reciprocally move between the first and second distal ends, a slider for opening and closing a shutter blade in a case the magnet linearly and reciprocally moves between the first and second distal ends, wherein each area of the first and second distal ends is larger than each cross-sectional area of the first and second rods, such that miniaturization and thinning of the shutter device can be realized, and generation of trembling phenomenon can be prevented during an opening/shutting operation of the shutter blade.

Claims

1. A camera shutter device, the device comprising:

a core including a first rod and a second rod, each arranged in parallel with the other, and one of which is wrapped by a coil, a first distal end formed at the first rod to generate an electromagnetic force line, and a second distal end formed at the second rod to generate an electromagnetic force line;

a magnet arranged in opposition to the first and second distal ends to linearly and reciprocally move between the first and second distal ends;

a slider for opening and closing a shutter blade in a case the magnet linearly and reciprocally moves between the first and second distal ends, wherein each area of the first and second distal ends is larger than each cross-sectional area of the first and second rods.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the core is fixed at a base and integrally connected by the first and second rods.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the core is relatively inclined from the magnet at a predetermined angle.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein the first distal end is bent from a distal end of the first rod toward the second rod.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein the first distal end is such that a distance between an external side positioned at an outside and the magnet is shorter than a distance between an internal side positioned at an inside and the magnet.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein the second distal end is bent from a distal end of the second rod toward the first rod.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the second distal end includes a plane unit distanced from the magnet at a predetermined space, and an inclination unit gradually distanced from the magnet.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein the shutter blade is formed at one side thereof with a hinge hole hinged to the base, and is formed at the other side with a shutter plate for opening and closing an optical permeation hole of the base.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the shutter blade is formed with a slot into which a driving shaft formed at the slider is inserted.

10. An optical apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

a camera including a main body, a display unit arranged at a front surface of the main body for displaying information, and a camera shutter device provided at the main body for capturing an image or a photograph, wherein the camera shutter device includes a core including a first rod and a second rod, each arranged in parallel with the other, and one of which is wrapped by a coil, a first distal end formed at the first rod to generate an electromagnetic force line, and a second distal end formed at the second rod to generate an electromagnetic force line;

a magnet arranged in opposition to the first and second distal ends to linearly and reciprocally move between the first and second distal ends;

a slider for opening and closing a shutter blade in a case the magnet linearly and reciprocally moves between the first and second distal ends, wherein each area of the first and second distal ends is larger than each cross-sectional area of the first and second rods.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the core is fixed at a base and integrally connected by the first and second rods.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the core is relatively inclined from the magnet at a predetermined angle.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first distal end is bent from a distal end of the first rod toward the second rod.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the first distal end is such that a distance between an external side positioned at an outside and the magnet is shorter than a distance between an internal side positioned at an inside and the magnet.

15. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the second distal end is bent from a distal end of the second rod toward the first rod.

16. The apparatus of claim 15, wherein the second distal end includes a plane unit distanced from the magnet at a predetermined space, and an inclination unit gradually distanced from the magnet.

17. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the shutter blade is formed at one side thereof with a hinge hole hinged to the base, and is formed at the other side with a shutter plate for opening and closing an optical permeation hole of the base.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the shutter blade is formed with a slot into which a driving shaft formed at the slider is inserted.
