Abstract:
A motor vehicle camera module (12) having a lens assembly (20), a housing (22) forming a front end (50) surrounding an opening (28), an image sensor (24) carried by a back wall (32) within the housing (22) adjacent an image plane (A). The housing (22) having a lens holder (53) between the front end (50) and the back wall (32). The camera module (12) has a tube (26) fixed to the lens holder (53) at the front end (50). The tube (26) surrounds the opening (28) and extends from the opening (28) into the housing (22). The lens assembly (20) is connected to a tube bottom end section by threads (71, 72). The thermal expansion coefficient of the tube (26) is higher than that of the lens holder (53). The threads (71, 72) extends over less than half of the axial length (hL) of the lens assembly (20).
Abstract:
A camera module for a motor vehicle includes a lens objective, a lens holder holding said lens objective, and a back plate connected to said lens holder and holding an image sensor in or close to an image plane of the lens objective. The alignment of the lens holder relative to the back plate is fixed by a glue joint between the lens holder and the back plate.
Abstract:
A camera module for a motor vehicle having a lens objective, a lens holder holding said lens objective, and a back plate connected to said lens holder and holding an image sensor in or close to an image plane of the lens objective. The materials, shapes and/or relative positions of the components of the lens objective are designed to keep the image plane in or close to the sensitive plane of the image sensor over an operating temperature range of the camera module.

Abstract:
An imaging system for a motor vehicle includes a camera housing part and at least one camera module to be mounted to said camera housing part. The camera module has first rotation locking means, the camera housing part has second rotation locking means adapted to cooperate with the first rotation locking means, wherein the first and second rotation locking means cooperate to lock the camera module against rotation relative to the camera housing part.
