The Looking skin summer degree (Field of the Invention) present invention relates to improvement of the automatic-focusing detecting device of a camera which has an autofocus optical system. (PRIOR ART) From the former, there is an automatic-focusing detecting device of the camera which has an autofocus optical system. For example, Drawing 18 shows the schematic structure of the optical system of the automatic-focusing detecting device of a single-lens reflex camera which has an autofocus optical system. As for a photographing lens and 2, in 1, in the Drawing 18, a photographic subject and 3 are view masks, As for a condensing lens and 5, in 4, an iris diaphragm mask and 6.7 are the separator lenses as an image division optical element, 8 is to a photo acceptance unit. It is CCD to carry out, and view mask 3. condensing lens 4. iris diaphragm mask 5. separator lens 6.7 *CC08 constitute autofocus optical system 9, and this autofocus optical system 9 is modularized and constitutes a focal unit. View mask 3 of autofocus optical system 9 is provided near the film equivalent face 10. Film equivalent face 10 is in conjugate physical relationship optically with photographic subject 2 via photographing lens 1. When photographing lens 1 is in a focus state, it is formed in the film equivalent face 10 where photographic subject's 2 image 11 is focused. It has the function to divide into two light flux the photography light which extracts as condensing lens 4 and passes the right and left of photographing lens l in mask 5, and separator lens 6.7 is in conjugate physical relationship optically with photographing lens l via condensing lens 4. The Separator lens 6.7 is horizontally arranged, as typically shown in Drawing 19.

In this case, generally optic-axis Sad Q2 of autofocus optical system 18.19 for circumference part ranging should differ in angle 0 made into optic axis Q of that photographing lens 1, and should be shown in Drawing 14, Separator lens 20.21 of autofocus optical system 18 is made to look in at Open [1 field 35.38 of ejection 11iff34 of photographing lens 1 consisting of long focus lens 32. The influence of Vignetting at the time of making separator lens 23.24 of autofocus optical system 19 look in at opening field 36.37 of ejection 11iif34 is taken into consideration, Is photographing lens 1 either of short focus lens 33. long focus lenses 32? It is separator lens 2 (changing the angle through which L 21.23. 24 look into ejection 1113.34 of photographing lens 1). It is an opening field of ejection which must have composition which changes optic-axis [of photographing lens 1] a, and optic-axis m1.1. of autofocus optical system 18.19 and which looked into 3L40 through separator lens 6.7 in the Drawing 14 in addition 1iif34. In then, the front of focal unit 50 which is incorporated in main part A of a camera, and constitutes each autofocus optical system 9.18. 19 as shown in Drawing 1, Optical member 51 for separator lens 20.21. 23.24 of autofocus optical system 18.19 for circumference part ranging to change the angle which looks into photographing lens 1 is provided. In other words, optical member 51 as an angle alteration means for changing an angle so that direction of the light flux which autofocus optical system 18-19 takes may go in the direction of the ejection pupil of photographing lens 1 is provided. This optical member 51 is composition Being by a light transmittance state rotation board, as shown in Drawing 2 and Drawing 4. This optical member 51 is manufactured by integral moulding using plastics material, for example. Optical member 51 consists of central equal thickness pellucide area 52 which faces autofocus optical system 9, and prism part 53 formed around the central equal thickness pellucide area 52 cyclic. As shown in 5th [ The ] figure~figure 7, equal thickness pellucide area 54.54, and prism 55.. 55.56 and 56 are provided in the prism part 53. These prisms 5K and 55.56. 56 have the thick outside side to the inside diameter side of optical member 51. Crowd alpha of - prism 55.56 shall differ mutually here, as shown in Drawing 5 and Drawing 7. Rotating member 57 which will mention the function of prism part 53 below, next supports this optical member 51 is explained. Rotating member 57 is rotatably supported movably with four rollers 58.58. 58.58 here, as shown in Drawing 2. Guide rail 59 which shows rotating member 57 to the roller 58.58. 58.58 as shown in Drawing 3 is formed in the perimeter. roller 58.58. 58-58 is supported pivotally with this example so that the rotation to pivot 59' is possible, and pivot 59' is attached to gobo 60, for example -- 61 is the opening drilled by that gobo Go. Rotating member 57 is rotated by motor 62, and gear part 65 which gears with gear 64 attached to output axis 63 of motor 62 is provided in the peripheral part of rotating member 57. Motor 62 is driven by motor drive circuit 66, and motor drive circuit 66 is controlled based on instructions of microprocessor 67. Microprocessor 67 controls motor drive circuit 66 in response to the information on lens ROM6g provided in exchange lens mount B. the connection bottle in which 69 was provided in lens mount B in Drawing 1 and 7G -- main part A of a camera -- providing -- in 9 Connection terminal and Drawing 4, 71 shows an opening. Microprocessor 67 is at this example, When main part A of a camera is equipped with lens mount B which has short focus lens 33, When main part A of a camera is equipped with lens mount B which is shown in Drawing 8 and which carries out drive control of the motor 62 like so that equal thickness pellucide area 54 may attend ranging zone 28.29, and has long focus lens 32, be shown in Drawing 9, Drive control of the motor 62 is carried out, and rotation of rotating member 57 is stopped in the position so that prism 56 may attend ranging zone 28.29. The angle through which separator lens 20.21. 23*24 of autofocus optical system 18.19 for circumference part ranging looks into the ejection pupil of photographing lens 1 is automatically changed by this. That is, when main part A of a camera is equipped with lens mount B which removes lens mount B which has short focus lens 33 from main part A of a camera, for example, and has long focus lens 32, Optical member 51 rotates centering on virtual center Z (refer to the 2nd figure), and it is stopped in the position which prism 56 faces ranging zone 28.29. Separator lens 2G-21, 23, and the angle through which 24 looks into the ejection pupil of photographing lens 1 are automatically changed into 0 to 0' by this. If ranging zone 28.29 is made to face prism 55, separator lens 2G, 21*23, and the angle through which 24 looks into the ejection pupil of photographing lens 1 are changed into angles other than 0 *0', and the photographing lens which has other focuses can be made to suit. As mentioned above, it is although microprocessor 67 explained motor 62 in the 1st example as composition which carries out drive control in response to the information on lens ROM6g provided in lens mount B, Even when there is no information on lens ROM6g, continuation rotation of the rotating member 57 is carried out by microprocessor 67 simultaneously with wearing on main part A of a camera of lens mount B, The light income of CCD22-25 detects the rotation position used as the maximum by the microprocessor 67, Rotation of rotating member 57 can be stopped in the rotation position, and separator lens 20-21.23. 24 can also consider the angle which looks into the ejection pupil of photographing lens 1 as the composition automatically changed into 0 to 0'. Next, the 2nd example of the automatic-focusing detecting device of the camera concerning the present invention is described, referring to The 15th figure~figure 17. This 2nd example shows other examples of an angle alteration means, and is Optical axis consideration of photographing lens 1, and optic axis i of autofocus optical system 18.19 by a mechanical mean, It has composition which changes angle 0 with a in which it succeeds (it is made to change), and sets to Drawing 15, Maintenance case 142 is fixed to the prescribed position of main part A of a camera, and maintenance case 143.144 is arranged at the both sides of maintenance case 142, In this maintenance case 142, above-mentioned autofocus optical system 9 is stored, and unit-ized autofocus optical system 18.19 is stored in maintenance case 143*144, respectively.
