Description
HEAT MANAGEMENT FOR ENCLOSED YIDEO CAMERAS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention herein disclosed relates to the field of security video monitoring. Specifically the invention is an apparatus for heat management within an enclosed video surveillance camera.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Video surveillance cameras are part of a continually evolving field of technology wherein many different types of video cameras have been developed. Surveillance systems consist of a video camera operative to receive, capture, record and store, and optionally transmit, video images of a particular location or scene, enclosed within a protective housing. The video camera assembly consists of various heat generating integrated circuits and other electrical components, and is typically enclosed within a tamper proof protective housing.
The tamper proof protective housing is usually fabricated from metal or plastic, and designed to withstand both substantial shocks and mis-handling, as well as severe or harsh internal and outdoor environments. Such video surveillance camera units are typically mounted on a wall, ceiling or side of building to provide surveillance monitoring of an area or scene of particular interest. A common use of video surveillance camera systems is for high security monitoring for prisons or other locations where security is of importance.
Since such video surveillance camera units are designed for both internal and external environments, the units are typically designed to be impervious to water penetration. Water resistance is obtained by using various gaskets and seals to tightly fit the various components of the video camera assembly together so that water does not penetrate inside the protective enclosure to damage or harm the internal components. Due to its resistance to both water and rust, high-density plastic is sometimes used for the protective enclosures.
Unfortunately solving the water penetration problem causes another. In particular when the camera is operational the watertight nature of the protective enclosure means that just as water cannot enter, the unit heat generated by the electrical components cannot escape. This heat, or thermal radiation, builds up during operation and causes the internal temperature within the protective enclosure to rise beyond the maximum temperature tolerances of the electrical components of the video camera unit. Ultimately this results in the failure of the electrical components of the video surveillance camera. Such a failure causes the unit to cease functioning, which is unacceptable in high security surveillance applications.

There are few patents that specifically address the aforementioned problems. In particular, U.S. Patent No.
5,854,874 (Yatsugi et. al) and No. 6, 011,690 (Hughes et. al) disclose methods of thermal management for devices fitted with Personal Computer (PC) cards. U.S. Patent No. 5,854,874 discloses a method of using the entire video camera housing as a heat sink to minimize the internal temperature of an enclosed image recording system. This patent requires the external housing to be composed of a material high in thermal conductivity such as metal, thus causing the entire protective enclosure to become hot when the camera is operational. U.S. Patent No.
6,011,690 (Hughes et. al) also discloses a conduction heat transfer relationship for PC cards to housing covers. Both patents fail to address the need for providing a heat dissipation mechanism for a plastic enclosure, or provide a means to retrofit a heat sink within an existing protective enclosure while providing a watertight enclosure.
Therefore it is the object of the present invention to provide an improved video camera with a heat management structure in an enclosed video surveillance camera. It is a further object of the present invention to provide a video camera having a heat management apparatus that also facilitates sealing the protective enclosure from water. Another object of the present invention is to provide a video camera with a heat management apparatus which can be retrofitted into existing video camera units without adding significant shape, bulk or weight to the protective enclosure. It is still a further object of the present invention to provide a video camera with a heat management apparatus that will not cause the entire protective housing to dissipate heat, rather to localize the effect so that the enclosure remains cool to the human touch.
Accordingly, the overall object of the present invention is to provide for sufficiently rapid heat transfer from the heat generating electrical components contained within the front and rear housing assemblies to that of the mid housing assembly, and from the mid housing assembly to the ambient environment so as to maintain the temperature within the housing assembly such that the electrical components stay within their normal operating temperature ranges.
SUD~ARY Oh' THE INVENTION
In accordance with the broader aspects of the present invention, an apparatus for heat management within an enclosed video surveillance camera, the apparatus being designed to capture thermal heat generated within the camera's protective enclosure and conduct the heat from the interior to the exterior of the enclosure to be dissipated, via convection, into the surrounding environment, is disclosed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION KITH R8FER8NCE TO TH8 DRANINf3S
The apparatus of the present invention comprises a housing assembly and a video camera assembly 5, the housing assembly being further comprised of a front housing assembly 1, a mid housing assembly 2 and a rear housing assembly 3. The housing assembly is designed to be lightweight and to have high impact and water resistance. Preferably, the front 1 and rear 3 housing assemblies are formed from high-density plastic, although any other strong, lightweight material, such as aluminum or magnesium may be used. The front 1 and rear 3 housing assemblies are fabricated from the same material, while the mid housing assembly a is formed from a different material whose composition is such that it is high in thermal conductivity.
To facilitate the video camera assembly 5, the front housing assembly 1 contains a front panel assembly 4 including a lens component through which the video camera assembly 5 is operative to receive, capture, record, store and, optionally, transmit video images. The video camera assembly 5 comprises various heat generating electrical components including one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) 7 and 8, electrical circuitry, data registers, stores, ports, buses, logic components, resident ' software and connectors which, when operative, generate thermal radiation within the protective enclosure.
In the instance where the front 1 and rear 3 housing assemblies are formed of high-density plastic, the mid housing assembly 2 is preferably metal, such as aluminum, although any other highly conductive material such as zinc or magnesium may also be used. In the preferred embodiment disclosed herein aluminum is chosen for its strength and lightness of weight as well as its superior conductivity in relation to the surrounding plastic front and rear assemblies. Preferably the mid housing assembly Z surface is treated such as by chromate so as to retain its conductivity characteristics over time and use.
Additionally, the mid housing assembly Z contains several embossed areas, which conform in size, shape and position with the heat generating electrical components. The purpose of the embossed areas is to raise specific sections of the mid housing assembly 2 to be closer to the heat generating electrical components so as to most effectively capture the heat radiated from these components. The mid housing assembly 2 also has various cutouts 12 to accommodate electrical connectors or cables which must pass from the front housing assembly 1 through to the rear housing assembly 3 in order to facilitate the video camera operation. As well as facilitating cabling, the cutouts 12 also serve to allow better internal air circulation and alleviate excessive heat build up in either of the front 1 or rear 3 housing assemblies.
Together the front 1, mid 2 and rear 3 housing assemblies are fitted together with rubber gaskets 15 and 16, which act as a water barrier at the junctures of the assemblies, to form the protective housing.
Silicone pads il are in contact with both the heat generating PCBs 7 and 8' and the mid housing assembly 2 and also serve to increase the contact surface and the speed of transfer of thermal radiation from the PCBs 7 and 8 to the mid housing assembly 2, thereby increasing the overall cooling effect within the video camera unit.
Another important aspect of the mid assembly 2 is that it is formed so that it has several external protrusions or fins 13 that project beyond the external dimensions of the front 1 and rear 3 housing assemblies. The purpose of the fins 13 is to increase the overall surface area of the mid housing assembly 2, which is in contact with the ambient environment. Through this increased surface area a maximal rapid cooling effect is produced as a greater surface area of the mid housing assembly 2 is in contact with the ambient environment. Similarly, extending the fins 13 beyond the external dimension of the front 1 and rear 3 housing assemblies also increases the cooling effect by moving the heat radiating surfaces away from the protective enclosure which needs to remain cool to the human touch and increase the coefficient of thermal connections. Fins 13 create turbulence for cooling. The fact that the heat sink with fins 13 is engineered to dissipate heat means that the other covers can be made of less expensive materials.
Therefore, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention and variations thereof disclosed herein has solved the aforementioned problems in a most advantageous fashion. Although an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and various modifications thereof, have been described here with reference to the accompanying figures, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to this precise embodiment and the described variations, changes and further modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of spirit of the invention as defined in the claims.
