Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a modular camera system, in particular a modular
  • Infrared camera systems can also be obstacles and possible during the night or in bad weather conditions
  • the camera In a common arrangement, the camera is mounted near the rearview mirror, that is centered behind the windshield of the vehicle.
  • the size of the space available there is dependent on the design of the interior of the vehicle in question. Therefore, the camera systems and the associated evaluation devices must be adapted in terms of their space requirements for the various vehicle models. In some vehicle models, the camera system must be distributed to two components, and drivers must be located separately from the camera.
  • the modular camera system according to the invention with the features of claim 1 provides a camera system that can be used universally for all vehicle models.
  • the modular camera system according to the invention comprises:
  • a camera disposed in a first housing having a first contact element
  • a signal processing and control unit which is arranged in a second housing, which has a second contact element
  • first housing on the second housing surface-fitting can be arranged and in the planar-fitting arrangement, the first contact element is connected to the second contact element.
  • One idea of the present invention is that the camera is easily accessible from the
  • Signal processing and control unit can be separated or arranged together with it, depending on the available space. A unique development of the two components of the modular camera system is therefore sufficient and a universal use is guaranteed.
  • the planar arrangement may include a form-fitting arrangement.
  • the first contact element may be a male plug connection and the second contact element may be a female plug connection or, conversely, the first contact element may be a female plug connection and the second contact element may be a male plug connection
  • first contact element and the second contact element are female plug connections and a coupling piece with two male plug connection for connecting the first and second housing is interposed.
  • the first housing can be placed separately from the second housing, and the first contact element is connected to the second contact element via a connecting cable when the first housing is placed separately from the second housing.
  • the first contact element and the second contact element may be arranged in a respective depression in the first and the second housing.
  • the depression here is preferably deep enough to receive a plug element of the connection cable.
  • the camera has a deactivatable line driver and / or the signal processing and control unit has a deactivatable line driver and the deactivatable power drivers are deactivated when the first housing is arranged flatly adjacent to the second housing.
  • the deactivation can be carried out by the contact element itself or be carried out manually.
  • the advantage of deactivating the line drivers is the lower power consumption and the lower radiation of high-frequency signals of the two camera system components.
  • Figure 1 shows a component of a first embodiment
  • Figure 2 shows the first embodiment in a separate arrangement
  • Figure 3 shows the first embodiment in a closed arrangement
  • Figure 4 shows a second embodiment in a separate arrangement
  • Figure 5 shows the second embodiment in a closed arrangement
  • FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment. - A -
  • the housing 1 shows a housing 1 of a first embodiment is shown, in which a camera 2 is integrated.
  • the housing 1 preferably has external dimensions that can be easily installed in most vehicle models. The place for the assembly will be the

  • the housing 1 has a socket 3 for a plug 4.
  • the socket 3 may be provided with a male or female contact.
  • spring contacts, clamping contacts, flat contacts can be arranged. Through these contacts, the camera 2 is connected to the necessary power supply lines and data signal and control lines. Via an access line 6 with a connector 3 corresponding plug 4, the camera 2 can thus be connected to a signal processing and control unit.
  • the first embodiment is shown in FIG.
  • the camera 2 is integrated in the housing 1.
  • a signal processing and control unit 7 is integrated in a second housing 8. Both housings 1, 8 are separate units. A connection between the two housings 1, 8 and the electronic components 2, 7 therein is carried by the line 6 and its associated connector 4, 9.
  • the plug 4 is adapted to the socket 3 of the first housing 1.
  • the plug 9 is adapted to the socket 10 of the second housing 8. According to the length of the line 6, the first housing 1 and the second housing 8 can be arranged separately from each other.
  • first housing 1 Connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 8 via coupling pieces 11 and 12 achieved, which are inserted into the sockets 3 and 10, respectively.
  • first housing 1 can be arranged lying flat against the second housing 8, whereby the total space requirement is minimized.
  • a connection to further components can be provided by a second line 13, which is connected to the first housing 8 via a corresponding socket 14 and a plug 15.
  • a second embodiment is shown in FIG.
  • a housing 21 with the signal processing and control unit 22 has a recess into which the housing 20 of the camera 23 can be positively inserted.
  • the two housings 20, 21 are connected via a line 24 with connectors 25, 26 or other contact elements.
  • the housings 20, 21 have associated sockets 27, 28.
  • the housing 20 of the camera 23 is inserted in a form-fitting manner in the housing 21 of the signal processing and control unit 22.
  • Corresponding coupling pieces 29 and 30 provide a connection between the opposing bushings 27, 28 of the two housings 20, 21.
  • the contact elements 27, 28 of the two housings 20, 21 may be flush with the outer surfaces of the two housings 20, 21. In this case, no coupling piece 29, 30 between the two housings 20, 21 necessary to ensure a connection in the form-fittingly arranged with each other housings 20, 21.
  • FIG. 6 schematically shows a third embodiment and its electronic structure.
  • the camera 40 is arranged with an interface logic module 41 and a power supply 42 in a first housing 43.
  • a microprocessor 51 is arranged with an interface module 52 and a power supply 53. Communication between the camera 40 and the microprocessor 51 is ensured by a connection 60.
  • the connection 60 can be realized according to the embodiments described above by a line with separate arrangement of the two components 40, 51 or by coupling pieces or direct contact of the two housings 43, 50 with each other.
  • interface drivers 44 and 54 are disposed in the two housings 43, 50. These are necessary to increase the signal strength when the signals over a longer distance, ie via a line, must be transmitted. Optionally, these interface drivers 44, 54 may be turned off when the first housing 43 and the second one
  • Housing 50 are in contact with each other, that is, the distance between the two housings 43, 50 is minimal.
  • the switching off of the two interface drivers 44, 54 can be done manually by closing or opening suitable bridges.
  • a contact pair are arranged on the first housing 43, and on the second housing 50, a contact bridge corresponding to the contact pair is arranged. If the two housings 43, 50 are arranged in a form-fitting manner with respect to one another, the contact bridge short-circuits the two contacts. This is detected by a sensor device and then deactivated the interface driver. Likewise, one contact pair is at the second
  • Housing 50 and a contact bridge to the first housing 43 is arranged.
  • Disabling the interface driver lowers the power consumption of the two camera system components.
  • the electromagnetic radiation is reduced, especially from the high-frequency transmitted data signals.
  • an additional plug-in adapter between the two housings may be arranged to bridge the mechanical gap. This can be considered as a connection cable with a length of zero meters.
  • guiding and locking devices can be arranged, which secure the cohesion of the two housings.
