By the way, in the video camera described above, the camera head block 6 is connected to the adjustment jig 8 to make a predetermined adjustment, and then the camera head block 6 is fixed to the exterior body 2. , connectors 4a and 4b of the motherboard 4 and connector 6a of the camera head block 6,
6b are connected manually using harnesses 8 and 9 to electrically connect them. Furthermore, the same problem occurs when adjusting the adjustment jig 8. In this case, the harnesses 8 and 9 must be replaced manually, which increases the number of man-hours and reduces work efficiency. Because they are connected, connection failures may occur over a long period of time, making it difficult to obtain electrical reliability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an excellent video camera that reduces man-hours, improves manufacturing efficiency, and provides electrical and mechanical reliability.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The video camera of the present invention has an exterior body (12) as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, for example.
and the motherboard (1) placed inside this exterior body (12).
4) and a head block (16) having a board, the motherboard (14) and the board each have connectors (14a, 14b, 16a, 16b).
), and when fixing the head block (16) to the exterior body (12), connect the connector (14) of the motherboard (14).
A, 14b) are directly connected to connectors (16a, 16b) of the board of the head block (16).

[0007]

[Operation] According to the video camera of the present invention, when fixing the head block to the exterior body, the connector on the board of the head block is directly connected to the connector on the motherboard, which reduces man-hours and improves manufacturing efficiency. This improves electrical and mechanical reliability.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the video camera of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an embodiment. In FIG. 1, a motherboard 14 is fixed within an exterior body 12, and a camera head block 16 is further arranged. Multi-pole connectors (receptacles) 14a and 14b are arranged on the motherboard 14 and are connected to wiring patterns constituting an electric circuit by soldering the ends of connection pins. Also, multi-pole connectors (plugs) 16a, 1 connected to the electric circuit are also connected to the camera head block 16.
6b is arranged, and this multi-pole connector (plug) 16a,
16b are inserted into and connected to multipolar connectors (receptacles) 14a and 14b arranged on the motherboard 14, respectively.

FIG. 2 shows the external appearance with the outer exterior plate cut away. As can be understood from FIG. 2, when fixing the camera head block 16 to the exterior body 12, the multi-pole connectors (plugs) 16a, 16b are directly mechanically connected to the multi-pole connectors (receptacles) 14a, 14b arranged on the motherboard 14. Connect to. electrically connected at the same time.

Next, the functions of the above configuration will be explained. When fixing the camera head block 16 within the exterior body 12, the multi-pole connectors (plugs) 16a, 16b of the camera head block 16 are mechanically and electrically connected to the multi-pole connectors (receptacles) 14a, 14b of the motherboard 14. be done.

In this way, when the camera head block 16 is fixed to the exterior body 12, the multi-pole connectors 16a, 16b of the camera head block 16 are directly mechanically connected to the multi-pole connectors 14a, 14b of the motherboard 14. ,
Electrical connections are made at the same time, and in this case, there is no need to manually connect each harness as with previous harnesses.Furthermore, the ends of the connection pins are soldered to the wiring pattern. Unlike conventional harnesses, the wiring materials are not connected individually, reducing man-hours and improving manufacturing efficiency, as well as providing long-term electrical and mechanical reliability.

Furthermore, such a camera head block 16 is adjusted in advance using an adjustment jig, and then stored and placed inside the exterior body 12. Even during this adjustment, it is necessary to remove the camera head block 16. This makes it easier, reduces man-hours, and improves manufacturing efficiency. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 3, the camera head block 16 can be easily replaced during subsequent maintenance services, such as inspection and repair.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the motherboard 14
and camera head block 16 are connected,
The present invention is not limited to this, and similar effects can be obtained with a configuration in which three or more circuit boards or blocks are connected.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As understood from the above description, according to the video camera of the present invention, when fixing the head block to the exterior body, the connector on the board of the head block is directly connected to the connector on the motherboard. This has the effect of reducing the number of man-hours and improving manufacturing efficiency, as well as providing electrical and mechanical reliability.
