Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the monitor unit described in Japanese National Publication No. 2013-520363 does not take anti-drip measures against the imaging lens arranged outside the vehicle.
Therefore, there is a concern that water droplets that have passed around the rear of the imaging unit, such as when driving in rainy weather, adhere to the lens surface of the imaging lens, and the image captured by the imaging unit may become unclear.

Abstract

The solution of the present invention provides a camera unit for a vehicle, which is capable of suppressing the adhesion of water droplets to an imaging lens. The imaging unit includes an imaging device, a casing (19), and a lens cover (37). The imaging device has an imaging lens (15B), which captures images of the surroundings of the vehicle. The casing (19) houses the imaging device in a state where the imaging lens (15B) is exposed to the outside. The lens cover (37) is disposed at a portion of the housing (19) around the imaging lens (15B), and extends obliquely radially outward from the periphery of the imaging lens (15B) toward the shooting direction. A step portion (39) pointing in the shooting direction is provided in the upper area of the imaging lens (15B) in the lens cover (37)when viewed from the optical axis direction of the imaging lens (15B).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle imaging unit including an imaging device for imaging the surroundings of a vehicle. Background technique [0002] It is known to integrate an imaging unit (camera) having an imaging unit (camera) for imaging the side and rear of a vehicle and a monitor for displaying images captured by the imaging unit, and to mount the integrated monitor unit The technology of the triangular window part in the front part of the front side door (refer to the Japanese National Special Publication No. 2013-520363 communique). [0003] In the state where the monitor unit described in Japanese National Publication No. 2013-520363 is mounted on the triangular window portion of the front door, the monitor of the monitor unit is arranged in the vehicle interior, and the camera unit of the monitor unit is arranged outside the vehicle. . The imaging lens of the imaging unit is provided on the rear surface of the housing such that the...
