Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a vehicle-mounted camera case that houses a camera mounted on a vehicle, and a vehicle-mounted camera device including the vehicle-mounted camera case.
- the case described in Patent Document 1 has a transparent window in the upper part of the camera lens, and the case covers the entire camera.
- the case described in Patent Document 2 includes an inflow opening that opens to the front of the vehicle and a blowout opening that blows out air that has flowed in from the inflow opening from the periphery of the camera. Blowing air from the surroundings of the camera prevents dust, mud, and the like that are rolled up from the road surface as the vehicle travels from adhering to the camera lens.
- the case described in Patent Document 2 has an inflow port that opens vertically in front of the vehicle, so that raindrops may enter the case from the inflow port during rainy weather.
