次に、カメラハウジング１６をカメラヘッド１３の撮影レンズ１３ａがレンズ開口１６ａに望むように一対のブラケット１４，１５に被せ、図７に示すように、カメラハウジング１６の下端開口端部をシールリング１２の段部１２ｃに圧接させる。カメラハウジング１６の下端開口端部が段部１２ｃに圧接すると、アーム１４ｂ，１５ｂの係止爪１４ｅ，１５ｅがカメラハウジング１６のフレーム１６ｂの係止穴１６ｃに係止し、カメラハウジング１６がブラケット１４，１５に固定される。同時に、シールリング１２のスカート部１２ｂが車体の側面２０ｄに圧接する。   Next, the camera housing 16 is covered with a pair of brackets 14 and 15 so that the photographing lens 13a of the camera head 13 is desired to the lens opening 16a, and as shown in FIG. Is pressed against the step 12c. When the lower end opening end of the camera housing 16 is in pressure contact with the stepped portion 12c, the locking claws 14e, 15e of the arms 14b, 15b are locked in the locking holes 16c of the frame 16b of the camera housing 16, and the camera housing 16 is attached to the bracket 14. , 15. At the same time, the skirt portion 12b of the seal ring 12 is pressed against the side surface 20d of the vehicle body.

以上の一連の作業で車載用サイドカメラ１０が車体の側面２０ｄに装着されるので、配線１１をドア開口の前縁部２０ａとドア２１の前端部２１ａとの隙間２０ｂを通して車内に引き込む。   Since the in-vehicle side camera 10 is mounted on the side surface 20d of the vehicle body through the series of operations described above, the wiring 11 is pulled into the vehicle through the gap 20b between the front edge portion 20a of the door opening and the front end portion 21a of the door 21.

車体の側面２０ｄに取り付けた車両用サイドカメラ１０の撮影領域を調整するには、カメラハウジング１６の頂部を押圧してカメラハウジング１６を撓ませ、両フレーム１６ｂの間隔を拡開させる。これにより係止爪１４ｅ，１５ｅが係止穴１６ｃから離脱するので、カメラハウジング１６をブラケット１４，１５から外す。そして、ネジ１８を緩めカメラヘッド１３を撮影レンズ１３ａの光軸を中心にして回転させ、撮影領域を車両の前後方向にずらし、運転者の死角になる前輪２２の近辺の領域を撮影してモニターに表示できるように調整する。   In order to adjust the shooting region of the vehicle side camera 10 attached to the side surface 20d of the vehicle body, the top of the camera housing 16 is pressed to bend the camera housing 16 and widen the gap between the frames 16b. As a result, the locking claws 14e and 15e are detached from the locking holes 16c, so that the camera housing 16 is detached from the brackets 14 and 15. Then, the screw 18 is loosened, the camera head 13 is rotated about the optical axis of the photographing lens 13a, the photographing region is shifted in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the region near the front wheel 22 that becomes the blind spot of the driver is photographed and monitored. Adjust so that it can be displayed.

本実施例によれば、車載用サイドカメラ１０を車体に取り付けるに際し、ドア２１，２３とドア開口の間の隙間２０ｂに着目し、この隙間２０ｂに配線１１を挿通して車内に引き込むので、サイドミラー２４のステーやドア２１，２３の内部空間に配線を行う面倒な作業を省略できる。車載用サイドカメラ１０を両面接着テープ１７で固定するので、車体に車載用サイドカメラ１０を取り付けるためネジ穴等の加工を行う必要がない。車載用サイドカメラ１０を隙間２０ｂに近接して車体に固定するので、車体外部に露出する配線１１の長さを可及的に短くでき、車両の外観が配線で損なわれない。   According to this embodiment, when attaching the in-vehicle side camera 10 to the vehicle body, paying attention to the gap 20b between the doors 21 and 23 and the door opening, the wiring 11 is inserted into the gap 20b and pulled into the vehicle. The troublesome work of wiring the stays of the mirror 24 and the internal spaces of the doors 21 and 23 can be omitted. Since the in-vehicle side camera 10 is fixed with the double-sided adhesive tape 17, it is not necessary to process a screw hole or the like in order to attach the in-vehicle side camera 10 to the vehicle body. Since the in-vehicle side camera 10 is fixed to the vehicle body close to the gap 20b, the length of the wiring 11 exposed to the outside of the vehicle body can be shortened as much as possible, and the appearance of the vehicle is not damaged by the wiring.

ドアグロメット２５は軟質プラスチック製であり、簡単に小穴を開けることができる。車体の側面２０ｄに固定した車載用サイドカメラ１０の配線１１をその小穴からドアグロメット２５に挿通して車内に引き込むので、ドア開口の縁部に配線１１が露出しない。   The door grommet 25 is made of a soft plastic and can easily make a small hole. Since the wiring 11 of the in-vehicle side camera 10 fixed to the side surface 20d of the vehicle body is inserted through the small hole into the door grommet 25 and pulled into the vehicle, the wiring 11 is not exposed at the edge of the door opening.

シールリング１２のスカート部１２ｂを車体に圧接するので、雨水が車載用サイドカメラ１０の内部に浸入するのを防止できる。カメラハウジング１６をブラケット１４，１５に被せて係止爪１４ｅ，１５ｅを係止穴１６ｃに係止することにより、車体の側面２０ｄに両面接着テープ１７で固定したブラケット１４，１５にカメラハウジング１６とシールリング１２を一体的に組み付けることができ、車体の側面２０ｄへの取り付け作業が容易、迅速に行える。ブラケット１４，１５に固定されたカメラハウジング１６の頂部を押圧して係止爪１４ｅを係止穴１６ｃから離脱させれば、カメラハウジング１６をブラケット１４，１５から簡単に外すことができ、カメラハウジング１６の着脱が容易なので、車載用サイドカメラ１０を車体の側面２０ｄに取り付けた後でもカメラハウジング１６だけを取り外して好みの色や車体の側面２０ｄと同じ色の塗装を施すことができる。また、カメラハウジング１６を外し、カメラヘッド１３を両アーム１４ｂ，１５ｂに締め付けているネジ１８を緩め、カメラヘッド１３を撮影レンズ１３ａの光軸を中心にして回転させれば、撮像素子の位置が変わり、その結果、ディスプレイに表示される撮影画像の領域を変えることができる。   Since the skirt portion 12 b of the seal ring 12 is pressed against the vehicle body, rainwater can be prevented from entering the in-vehicle side camera 10. The camera housing 16 is placed on the brackets 14 and 15 and the locking claws 14e and 15e are locked in the locking holes 16c, so that the bracket 14 and 15 fixed to the side surface 20d of the vehicle body with the double-sided adhesive tape 17 The seal ring 12 can be assembled integrally, and the attachment work to the side surface 20d of the vehicle body can be performed easily and quickly. If the top of the camera housing 16 fixed to the brackets 14 and 15 is pressed to disengage the locking claws 14e from the locking holes 16c, the camera housing 16 can be easily detached from the brackets 14 and 15, and the camera housing 16 is easy to attach and detach, so even after the vehicle side camera 10 is attached to the side surface 20d of the vehicle body, only the camera housing 16 can be removed and the desired color or the same color as the side surface 20d of the vehicle body can be applied. Further, if the camera housing 16 is removed, the screw 18 that fastens the camera head 13 to the arms 14b and 15b is loosened, and the camera head 13 is rotated about the optical axis of the photographing lens 13a, the position of the image pickup device is obtained. As a result, the area of the captured image displayed on the display can be changed.

本実施例では、車載用サイドカメラ１０を車体の運転席側及び助手席側のドア開口の前縁部２０ａと、運転席側及び助手席側のドア２１との間に形成されている隙間２０ｂに近接する部位であって、車体側面の下部、すなわち前輪２２を覆うフロントフェンダー２０ｃの近傍に取り付け、前輪２２の近傍の死角となる領域を撮影してディスプレイに表示したが、ドア２１，２３に車載用サイドカメラを取り付けることもできる。また、車載用サイドカメラ１０を車体の乗客席側のドア開口の前縁部と、乗客席側のドア２７との間に形成されている隙間に近接する部位であって、後輪２８を覆うリヤフェンダー２０ｅの近傍に取り付け、後輪２８の近傍の死角となる領域を撮影してディスプレイに表示することもできる。   In the present embodiment, the in-vehicle side camera 10 has a gap 20b formed between the front edge portion 20a of the door opening on the driver seat side and the passenger seat side of the vehicle body and the door 21 on the driver seat side and the passenger seat side.
