Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular photographing device capable of both ensuring a visual field of an occupant and appearance and suppressing image noise due to raindrops in the case of arranging a camera near the lower edge of a windshield.SOLUTION: When a wiper device 6 starts to operate, a blade 8 reciprocates between a lower inversion position T2, which is a wiping lower limit of a second wiping range S2, and an upper inversion position T1, which is a wiping upper limit of a first wiping range S1, after moving to the lower inversion position T2 from a stop position P once. Then, even if a camera 10 is arranged near the lower edge of an inner surface of a windshield 4, a photographing range of the camera 10 in the windshield 4 can appropriately be cleaned by causing the blade 8 of the wiper device 6 to perform a wiping operation over the first wiping range S1, which is above the stop position P, and the second wiping range S2, which is below the stop position P and where the camera 10 is arranged. Consequently, image noise due to the attachment of raindrops onto the photographing range of the camera 10 is suppressed so that a clear image can be acquired.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

Description

本発明は、車室内のウィンドシールド近傍位置に配置したカメラにより、該ウィンドシールドを透して車外の景観を撮影して画像を取り込む車両用撮影装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle photographing apparatus that captures an image by photographing a landscape outside a vehicle through a windshield through a camera disposed in a position near a windshield in a vehicle interior.

従来の車両用撮影装置として、例えば特許文献１には、車室内からウィンドシールドを透して車両前方を撮影するカメラを、ワイパー装置による該ウィンドシールドの外面の払拭範囲に配置することで、雨滴による画像ノイズの抑制を図るようにしたものが知られている。   As a conventional vehicle photographing device, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses that a camera for photographing a front of a vehicle through a windshield from a vehicle interior is disposed in a wiping range on the outer surface of the windshield by a wiper device. There is known an image noise suppression method.

特開２０１４−７３７３７号公報JP 2014-73737 A

特許文献１の開示技術では、カメラがウィンドシールドのワイパー装置による払拭範囲に存在するため、このカメラが乗員の視界を妨げてしまうことは否めない。   In the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the camera is within the wiping range of the windshield wiper device, it cannot be denied that this camera hinders the sight of the occupant.

このようなことから、カメラを極力乗員の視界の妨げとならないようにウィンドシールドの下縁近傍に配置することも考えられる。   For this reason, it is conceivable to arrange the camera near the lower edge of the windshield so as not to obstruct the occupant's field of view as much as possible.

しかし、ワイパー装置は一般にブレードがウィンドシールドの下縁に沿って停止するようにしているため、カメラにこのブレードが写り込まないようにするためには、カメラを該ブレードの停止位置よりも上方に配置する必要がある。あるいは、カメラを乗員の視界の妨げにならない高さ位置に配置して、ブレードの停止位置を通常よりもやや高めてカメラの撮影範囲を避けてその上方に設定する必要がある。   However, since the wiper device generally stops the blade along the lower edge of the windshield, in order to prevent the blade from being reflected in the camera, the camera is moved above the stop position of the blade. Need to be placed. Alternatively, it is necessary to place the camera at a height that does not obstruct the occupant's field of view, and set the blade stop position slightly higher than usual so as to avoid the shooting range of the camera and set it above it.

そうすると、カメラを通常のブレードの停止位置よりも上方に配置した場合には、該カメラのウィンドシールド面内への突出量が大きくなって乗員の視界、および見栄えが悪化してしまう。また、ブレードの停止位置をカメラの上方に設定した場合には、カメラがブレードの払拭範囲に入らずに雨滴による画像ノイズが増大してしまう。   In this case, when the camera is arranged above the stop position of the normal blade, the amount of projection of the camera into the windshield surface increases, and the sight of the passenger and the appearance of the occupant deteriorate. If the stop position of the blade is set above the camera, the camera does not enter the blade wiping range, and image noise due to raindrops increases.

そこで、本発明はカメラをウィンドシールドの下縁近傍に配置する場合に、乗員の視界や見栄えの確保と、雨滴による画像ノイズの抑制の両立を図ることができる車両用撮影装置を提供するものである。   Therefore, the present invention provides a vehicular imaging device capable of ensuring both occupant visibility and appearance and suppressing image noise due to raindrops when the camera is arranged near the lower edge of the windshield. is there.

本発明の車両用撮影装置にあっては、車室内から車室外を撮影するカメラを、ウィンドシールドの内面の下縁近傍に配置する一方、前記ウィンドシールドの外面を払拭するワイパー装置のブレードの停止位置を、前記カメラの上方近傍に設定してある。   In the vehicle photographing device of the present invention, the camera for photographing the outside of the passenger compartment from the interior of the vehicle is disposed near the lower edge of the inner surface of the windshield, while the blade of the wiper device that wipes the outer surface of the windshield is stopped. The position is set near the upper part of the camera.

そして、前記ウィンドシールド外面の前記ブレードによる払拭範囲を、前記ブレードの停止位置から該ブレードの上側反転位置を払拭上限として広がる第１の払拭範囲と、前記ブレードの停止位置から前記カメラの配設位置よりも下方のブレードの下側反転位置を払拭下限として広がる第２の払拭範囲と、に設定したことを主要な特徴としている。   And a wiping range of the outer surface of the windshield by the blade, a first wiping range extending from a stop position of the blade to an upper reversal position of the blade as a wiping upper limit, and an installation position of the camera from the stop position of the blade The main feature is that it is set to the second wiping range that spreads with the lower inversion position of the lower blade as the lower wiping limit.

上述のワイパー装置のブレードは、ブレードの停止位置を境にして設定された第１の払拭範囲と第２の払拭範囲とに亘って払拭動作する。   The blade of the above-described wiper device performs a wiping operation over the first wiping range and the second wiping range set with the blade stop position as a boundary.

このブレードの停止位置をウィンドシールドの下縁よりやや高くすることにより、カメラのウィンドシールド面内への突出量を小さく抑制することが可能となる。   By making the stop position of the blade slightly higher than the lower edge of the windshield, it is possible to reduce the amount of projection of the camera into the windshield surface.

しかも、前記カメラの上方近傍でブレードを停止するため、ウィンドシールド面上の水滴や汚れの垂れ流れを該ブレードで受けて保持、もしくは迂回させてカメラ付近が汚れるのを回避する。   In addition, since the blade is stopped in the vicinity of the upper part of the camera, it is possible to prevent the vicinity of the camera from becoming dirty by receiving or holding or detouring the dripping flow of water droplets and dirt on the windshield surface.

本発明によれば、ウィンドシールドの内面の下縁近傍にカメラを配置してあっても、ワイパー装置のブレードをその停止位置から上方の第１の払拭範囲と、該停止位置から下方のカメラが配置される第２の払拭範囲とに亘って払拭動作させることで、ウィンドシールドにおけるカメラの撮影範囲を適正に清掃することができる。   According to the present invention, even if the camera is arranged near the lower edge of the inner surface of the windshield, the blade of the wiper device has the first wiping range above the stop position and the camera below the stop position. By performing the wiping operation over the second wiping range to be arranged, the photographing range of the camera in the windshield can be properly cleaned.

この結果、カメラの撮影範囲に雨滴が付着することによる画像ノイズを抑制して鮮明な画像を得ることができる。   As a result, it is possible to obtain a clear image by suppressing image noise caused by raindrops adhering to the shooting range of the camera.

また、ブレードの停止位置をウィンドシールドの下縁よりやや高くして、カメラのウィンドシールド面内への突出量を小さく抑制することが可能なため、カメラが乗員視界の妨げになることもなく、また、見栄えが悪くなることも回避することができる。   In addition, because the blade stop position is slightly higher than the lower edge of the windshield, and the amount of protrusion of the camera into the windshield surface can be reduced, the camera will not interfere with the occupant's field of view. Moreover, it can also avoid that it looks bad.

そして、カメラの上方近傍でブレードを停止するため、ウィンドシールド面上の水滴や汚れの垂れ流れを該ブレードで受けて保持、もしくは迂回させてカメラ付近が汚れるのを回避して鮮明な画像を得ることができる。   Since the blade is stopped in the vicinity of the upper part of the camera, a dripping flow of water droplets and dirt on the windshield surface is received by the blade, or is detoured to avoid getting dirty in the vicinity of the camera and obtain a clear image. be able to.

以下、本発明の一実施形態を自動車としてバックドア型車を例に採って図面と共に詳述する。   Hereinafter, a back door type vehicle will be taken as an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and an automobile will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図１は本発明の対象とするバックドア型車を示しており、車体１の後部開口部２に配設したバックドア３は、その略上半部分の開窓部にウィンドシールド４を配設して、該ウィンドシールド４を透して車両後方の外部景観を視認できるようにしている。   FIG. 1 shows a back door type vehicle which is a subject of the present invention. A back door 3 disposed in a rear opening 2 of a vehicle body 1 is provided with a windshield 4 in an opening portion of a substantially upper half portion thereof. Thus, the external scenery behind the vehicle can be seen through the windshield 4.

バックドア本体５のドアウェスト部には、図２〜図４にも示すように車幅方向中央部にワイパーアーム７のピボット点を持つワイパー装置６を配設して、該ワイパー装置６によりウィンドシールド４の外面を略扇形状に払拭して清掃可能としている。   As shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, a wiper device 6 having a pivot point of the wiper arm 7 is disposed at the door waist portion of the back door body 5 as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4. The outer surface of the shield 4 is wiped in a substantially fan shape so that it can be cleaned.

このワイパー装置６は、ワイパーアーム７の先端に装着したブレード８をウィンドシールド４の下縁に沿って停止するようにしている。図２ではブレード８の略半部がワイパーアーム７の下側に隠れている。   The wiper device 6 is configured to stop the blade 8 attached to the tip of the wiper arm 7 along the lower edge of the windshield 4. In FIG. 2, substantially half of the blade 8 is hidden under the wiper arm 7.

ウィンドシールド４の内面の車幅方向中央部の下縁近傍にはカメラ１０を配設して、該カメラ１０によりウィンドシールド４を透して車室内から車両後方の外部景観を撮影するようにしている。   A camera 10 is arranged in the vicinity of the lower edge of the inner surface of the windshield 4 in the vehicle width direction, and the camera 10 is used to photograph an external landscape behind the vehicle from inside the vehicle through the windshield 4. Yes.

このカメラ１０はブラケット１１を備え、該ブラケット１１によりバックドア本体５のドアウェスト部の車室側の上縁部分に固定配置してあり、上述のワイパー装置６のブレード８の停止位置Ｐは、このカメラ１０の上方近傍に設定してある。   The camera 10 includes a bracket 11, which is fixedly disposed on the upper edge portion of the door waist portion of the back door body 5 on the passenger compartment side by the bracket 11. The stop position P of the blade 8 of the wiper device 6 is as follows. It is set near the upper part of the camera 10.

そして、このブレード８によるウィンドシールド４の外面の払拭範囲を、ブレード８の停止位置Ｐから該ブレード８の上側反転位置Ｔ１を払拭上限として広がる第１の払拭範囲Ｓ１と、ブレード８の停止位置Ｐから前記カメラ１０の配設位置よりも下方の下側反転位置Ｔ２を払拭下限として広がる第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２と、に設定してある。   Then, the wiping range of the outer surface of the windshield 4 by the blade 8 is divided into a first wiping range S1 extending from the stop position P of the blade 8 with the upper reversal position T1 of the blade 8 as the upper wiping limit, and a stop position P of the blade 8 To the second wiping range S2 that is widened with the lower inversion position T2 below the position where the camera 10 is disposed as the lower wiping limit.

ブレード８の停止位置Ｐは、ウィンドシールド４の下縁よりやや高く設定している。本実施形態のウィンドシールド４は、その周縁部内面に所要の幅でぼろ隠し用のマスキング部４ａを設けて開窓部の車室側周縁の構造が車外から見えないようにしている。   The stop position P of the blade 8 is set slightly higher than the lower edge of the windshield 4. The windshield 4 of the present embodiment is provided with a masking portion 4a for obscuring with a required width on the inner surface of the peripheral portion thereof so that the structure of the peripheral edge on the passenger compartment side of the open window portion cannot be seen from the outside of the vehicle.

そこで、本実施形態ではこのマスキング部４ａの内周縁付近をブレード８の停止位置Ｐとして設定し、そのやや下側にカメラ１０を配設している。   Therefore, in this embodiment, the vicinity of the inner peripheral edge of the masking portion 4a is set as the stop position P of the blade 8, and the camera 10 is disposed slightly below.

従って、このような停止位置Ｐの設定とカメラ１０の配置関係にすると、カメラ１０はマスキング部４ａの面内への配置となるが、図外のカメラレンズに対応した部分はマスキング非加工として撮影に支障とならないようにされる。   Accordingly, when the setting of the stop position P and the arrangement relationship of the camera 10 is used, the camera 10 is arranged in the plane of the masking portion 4a, but the portion corresponding to the camera lens (not shown) is photographed as unmasked. Will not be a hindrance.

バックドア本体５の車室側面を覆って樹脂製の装飾用のトリム９が配設され、その上縁部は前記マスキング部４ａの内周縁とほぼ一致するように設計されることから、カメラ１０の上縁部が部分的にトリム９と干渉する場合がある。   A resin decorative trim 9 is disposed so as to cover the side of the vehicle interior of the back door body 5 and its upper edge portion is designed to substantially coincide with the inner peripheral edge of the masking portion 4a. In some cases, the upper edge portion of the rim partly interferes with the trim 9.

そのような場合、図４に示すようにトリム９に切欠部９ａを設けてカメラ１０の上縁部を室内露出配置とし、該露出部分を樹脂製のカメラカバー１２で覆って装飾する。カメラカバー１２の上縁はブレード８の停止位置Ｐとほぼ同じ高さとして、トリム９の上縁からの突出高さを極力小さく抑制することが望ましい。   In such a case, as shown in FIG. 4, the trim 9 is provided with a notch 9a so that the upper edge of the camera 10 is exposed indoors, and the exposed portion is covered with a resin camera cover 12 for decoration. It is desirable that the upper edge of the camera cover 12 is substantially the same height as the stop position P of the blade 8 so that the protruding height from the upper edge of the trim 9 is minimized.

一方、前記ワイパー装置６は、前記ブレード８の停止直前の動作が、前記第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２の払拭下限（ブレード８の下側反転位置Ｔ２）から前記停止位置Ｐに移行するように駆動制御される。   On the other hand, the wiper device 6 is driven and controlled so that the operation immediately before the blade 8 stops is shifted from the lower wiping lower limit (lower inversion position T2 of the blade 8) to the stop position P of the second wiping range S2. Is done.

また、前記ブレード８の作動開始直後の動作は、該ブレード８の停止位置Ｐから前記第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２の払拭下限（ブレード８の下側反転位置Ｔ２）に移行して、下側反転位置Ｔ２と上側反転位置Ｔ１との間を往復動するように駆動制御される。   The operation immediately after the start of the operation of the blade 8 shifts from the stop position P of the blade 8 to the wiping lower limit (the lower inversion position T2 of the blade 8) of the second wiping range S2, and the lower inversion position. Drive control is performed so as to reciprocate between T2 and the upper inversion position T1.

以上の構成からなる本実施形態にあっては、ワイパー装置６を作動開始するとブレード８が停止位置Ｐから一旦第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２の払拭下限である下側反転位置Ｔ２に移行した後、この下側反転位置Ｔ２と第１の払拭範囲Ｓ１の払拭上限である上側反転位置Ｔ１との間で往復動する。   In the present embodiment configured as described above, when the wiper device 6 is started to operate, the blade 8 temporarily moves from the stop position P to the lower inversion position T2 which is the lower wiping lower limit of the second wiping range S2, and then It reciprocates between the lower inversion position T2 and the upper inversion position T1, which is the upper limit of wiping of the first wiping range S1.

従って、ウィンドシールド４の内面の下縁近傍にカメラ１０を配置してあっても、ワイパー装置６のブレード８をその停止位置Ｐから上方の第１の払拭範囲Ｓ１と、該停止位置Ｐから下方のカメラ１０が配置される第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２とに亘って払拭動作させることで、ウィンドシールド４におけるカメラ１０の撮影範囲を適正に清掃することができる。   Therefore, even if the camera 10 is disposed near the lower edge of the inner surface of the windshield 4, the blade 8 of the wiper device 6 is moved downward from the stop position P to the first wiping range S1 above the stop position P. By performing the wiping operation over the second wiping range S <b> 2 in which the camera 10 is arranged, it is possible to properly clean the shooting range of the camera 10 in the windshield 4.

この結果、カメラ１０の撮影範囲に雨滴が付着することによる画像ノイズを抑制して鮮明な画像を得ることができる。   As a result, a clear image can be obtained by suppressing image noise caused by raindrops adhering to the shooting range of the camera 10.

また、ブレード８の停止位置Ｐをウィンドシールド４の下縁よりやや高くして、カメラ１０のウィンドシールド４面内への突出量を小さく抑制することが可能なため、カメラ１０が乗員視界の妨げになることもなく、また、見栄えが悪くなることも回避することができる。   In addition, since the stop position P of the blade 8 is slightly higher than the lower edge of the windshield 4 and the amount of projection of the camera 10 into the surface of the windshield 4 can be reduced, the camera 10 obstructs the occupant's view. In addition, it is possible to prevent the appearance from deteriorating.

因みに、図５に示す比較例では、ブレード８の停止位置Ｐをウィンドシールド４の下縁近傍でマスキング部４ａの面内に設定している。また、カメラ１０はトリム９の切欠部９ａから車室内に突出させ、ブレード８の停止位置Ｐよりも上方の配置としてマスキング部４ａの内周縁から外れた位置で車両後方を撮影可能で、かつ、ブレード８による払拭範囲内の配置としている。従って、この比較例では、カメラ１０およびこれを覆うカメラカバー１２のウィンドシールド４面内への突出量がＨｂのように大きくなって乗員の視界、および見栄えが悪化してしまう。   Incidentally, in the comparative example shown in FIG. 5, the stop position P of the blade 8 is set in the plane of the masking portion 4 a in the vicinity of the lower edge of the windshield 4. Further, the camera 10 can project from the notch 9a of the trim 9 into the vehicle interior, and can photograph the rear of the vehicle at a position deviating from the inner peripheral edge of the masking part 4a as an arrangement above the stop position P of the blade 8, and The arrangement is within the wiping range of the blade 8. Therefore, in this comparative example, the amount of projection of the camera 10 and the camera cover 12 covering it into the surface of the windshield 4 becomes large as Hb, and the sight and appearance of the occupant deteriorate.

一方、図４に示す本実施形態ではブレード８の停止位置Ｐをウィンドシールド４の下縁よりやや高くして、カメラ１０のウィンドシールド４面内への突出量をＨａのように小さく抑制することが可能なため、カメラ１０が乗員視界の妨げになることもなく、また、見栄えが悪くなることも回避することができる。   On the other hand, in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the stop position P of the blade 8 is set slightly higher than the lower edge of the windshield 4 to suppress the amount of projection of the camera 10 into the surface of the windshield 4 as small as Ha. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the camera 10 from obstructing the occupant's field of view and the appearance from deteriorating.

そして、カメラ１０の上方近傍でブレード８を停止するため、ウィンドシールド４面上の水滴や汚れの垂れ流れを該ブレード８で受けて保持、もしくは迂回させてカメラ１０付近が汚れるのを回避して鮮明な画像を得ることができる。   Then, since the blade 8 is stopped in the vicinity of the upper side of the camera 10, it is possible to prevent the vicinity of the camera 10 from becoming dirty by receiving or holding or detouring the water droplets and dirt flowing on the surface of the windshield 4. A clear image can be obtained.

ここで、特に本実施形態では上述のようにワイパー装置６の作動開始直後はブレード８が停止位置Ｐから一旦下側反転位置Ｔ２に移行するので、ワイパー装置６の作動開始とほぼ同時に第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２に付着している雨滴や塵挨をきれいに払拭して、カメラ１０の撮影による鮮明な画像を取得することができる。   Here, particularly in the present embodiment, as described above, immediately after the operation of the wiper device 6 is started, the blade 8 temporarily shifts from the stop position P to the lower inversion position T2, so that the second operation is almost simultaneously with the start of the operation of the wiper device 6. The raindrops and dust adhering to the wiping range S2 can be wiped clean, and a clear image obtained by the camera 10 can be acquired.

また、ワイパー装置６の停止直前ではブレード８が前記第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２の払拭下限である下側反転位置Ｔ２から前記停止位置Ｐに移行するので、ワイパー装置６を停止する際にも該第２の払拭範囲Ｓ２をきれいに払拭してカメラ１０の鮮明な画像提供が可能となる。   Further, immediately before the wiper device 6 stops, the blade 8 moves from the lower inversion position T2, which is the lower wiping lower limit of the second wiping range S2, to the stop position P. It is possible to provide a clear image of the camera 10 by wiping the wiping range S2 of 2 cleanly.

なお、前記実施形態ではバックドア３のウィンドシールド４の下縁近傍にカメラ１０を配置した仕様を例示したが、図外のフロントウィンドシールドの下縁近傍にカメラ１０を配置する仕様に適用して前述と同様の効果を得ることができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the specification in which the camera 10 is disposed near the lower edge of the windshield 4 of the back door 3 is exemplified. However, the specification is applied to the specification in which the camera 10 is disposed near the lower edge of the front windshield (not shown). The same effect as described above can be obtained.
