Abstract
In a moving mechanism, a contact is disposed on a moving body, and the contact is in contact with a positioning member so as to move the moving body by 180 degrees. With this structure, the accurate regulation of the position of the moving body can be realized with only a slight improvement in the conventional moving mechanism, and the object can be inexpensively realized. Also, since the position detecting means, the signal processing means, etc., are not required other than the moving mechanism, necessary and sufficient functions can be realized with the minimum structure without requiring excessive energy and space.
Claims11
A moving mechanism, comprising:
- an actuator that rotates a moving body;
- a support plate having said actuator;
- a positioning member disposed on said support member;
- a first contact disposed on said moving body;
- and
- a second contact disposed on said moving body;
- wherein said first contact and said positioning member are in contact with each other when said moving body rotates clockwise;
- wherein said second contact and said positioning member are in contact with each other when said moving body rotates counterclockwise;
- and
- wherein a movement angle, between a position at which said first contact of said moving body and said positioning member are in contact with each other and a position at which said second contact of said moving body and said positioning member are in contact with each other, is 180 degrees.
