    Abstract: In a camera apparatus, a camera case is fixed to a windshield from within a cabin of a vehicle. A camera module includes an optical unit and a camera substrate. The optical unit includes a lens. The camera substrate includes an image sensor. The optical unit includes a lens barrel portion and a base portion. The lens barrel portion holds the lens therein. The base portion has a reference surface that serves as a reference for positioning when the camera module is fixed to the camera case and to which the lens barrel portion is fixed so as to have a fixed positional relationship. The camera substrate is fixed to the optical unit in a position in which an optical axis of the lens passes through a center of a light receiving surface of the image sensor and is perpendicular to the light receiving surface of the image sensor.

    Abstract: In a camera module, a camera substrate includes an image sensor. A base portion is a case fixed to the camera substrate and includes a through hole passing through an opposing surface that opposes the camera substrate. A tube-shaped lens barrel portion holds a lens therein and is disposed to be continuous with the through hole. An optical filter is fixed to a fixing region formed on an inner wall surface of the opposing surface. The lens barrel portion includes an air hole that communicates from a tip of the lens barrel portion to the through hole, through a tube-shaped wall of the lens barrel portion in a direction of an optical axis of the lens. The opposing surface includes an air channel that communicates between the through hole and a base inner space surrounded by the base portion and the camera substrate. The air channel has a bent shape.

    Abstract: A camera device includes a holder in which an optical member is retained and a circuit board with an image sensor. The circuit board at least includes a stack of a solder resist, a metallic layer, and a resinous layer. A groove or recess is formed in the circuit board to have a depth extending through thicknesses of the solder resist and the metallic layer to expose a portion of an outer surface of the resinous layer. The holder is attached to the exposed portion of the outer surface of the resinous layer using an adhesive agent. An overflow stopper is formed at least round the recess to stop the adhesive agent from flowing outside the recess during a production process, thereby enhancing the degree of joining of the holder and the circuit board, and ensuring the stability in positional relation between the image sensor and the optical member.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle camera control device is provided for an in-vehicle camera that includes an imaging element for picking up an image around the vehicle. The apparatus controls a state of current supply to the imaging element. In the apparatus, current supply to the imaging element is prevented from starting when the temperature in the vicinity of the imaging element is high.Specifically, upon start of processing, current supply to the imaging element of the in-vehicle camera is stopped first (camera is powered OFF). Therefore, at least immediately after the ignition is turned on, current supply to the imaging element is not performed. When a state where a temperature measured by a temperature measurement section provided in the vicinity of the imaging element is not more than an ON threshold continues for a duration expressed by Ams×(startup counter value), current supply to the imaging element is started.

    Abstract translation: 为车载摄像机提供车载摄像机控制装置,其包括用于拾取车辆周围的图像的成像元件。 该装置控制对成像元件的电流供应状态。 在该装置中,当成像元件附近的温度较高时,防止对成像元件的电流供应开始。 具体而言,在开始处理时,首先停止对车载摄像机的摄像元件的电流供给(照相机断电)。 因此,至少在点火开启之后立即,不进行对成像元件的电流供给。 当由设置在摄像元件附近的温度测量部分测量的温度不大于ON阈值的状态持续由Ams×(启动计数器值)表示的持续时间时,开始向成像元件供电。
