Description

本発明は、撮像素子が発する熱を放熱する手段を備える撮像装置に関する。   The present invention relates to an imaging apparatus including means for radiating heat generated by an imaging element.

従来、車両には多数の電子機器が搭載されて種々の処理を行っているが、車載環境では周囲の温度が高温となる虞があるため、車載の電子機器における放熱又は冷却等の温度対策を行うことが必須である。車両のバンパー近傍又はサイドミラー等に搭載されて車両周辺の撮像を行う撮像装置が普及しているが、撮像装置が備えるCCD又はCMOS等の撮像素子では、温度の上昇によって撮像した映像にノイズが生じるなどの画質悪化が発生する虞がある。特に近年では、撮像を行うための受光部であるCCD又はCMOS等と、撮像した映像の補正などを行う処理回路とを1つのチップに集積することが可能となり、撮像素子自身の発熱量が増大しているため、撮像素子が発する熱を効率よく放熱することが望まれる。   Conventionally, a lot of electronic devices are mounted on a vehicle to perform various processes. However, in an in-vehicle environment, there is a risk that the ambient temperature becomes high. It is essential to do so. Imaging devices that are mounted in the vicinity of a vehicle bumper or in a side mirror or the like and image the periphery of the vehicle are widespread. However, in an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS provided in the imaging device, noise is generated in an image captured due to a temperature rise. There is a risk that image quality deterioration such as occurrence may occur. In particular, in recent years, it has become possible to integrate a CCD or CMOS, which is a light receiving unit for performing imaging, and a processing circuit for correcting captured images on a single chip, which increases the amount of heat generated by the imaging element itself. Therefore, it is desirable to efficiently dissipate the heat generated by the image sensor.

特許文献1においては、CCDイメージセンサなどのように、パッケージの上面に放熱ブロックを取り付けることができない場合であっても効率よく放熱を行うことができる半導体装置が提案されている。この場合、半導体装置のパッケージの下面側に放熱ブロックを取り付け、この放熱ブロックを半導体装置が実装されたプリント配線基板を貫通させ、放熱ブロックに設けられたフィンがプリント配線基板の裏側に位置するように構成することによって、プリント配線基板の裏面側の解放された空間に放熱を行うことができる。   Patent Document 1 proposes a semiconductor device such as a CCD image sensor that can efficiently dissipate heat even when a heat dissipation block cannot be attached to the upper surface of the package. In this case, a heat dissipation block is attached to the lower surface side of the package of the semiconductor device, the heat dissipation block is passed through the printed circuit board on which the semiconductor device is mounted, and the fins provided on the heat dissipation block are located on the back side of the printed circuit board. With this configuration, heat can be radiated to the released space on the back side of the printed wiring board.

特許文献2においては、発熱素子を実装したプリント基板をケース内部に収容し、発熱素子及びケースの双方に接触する放熱シートを配置し、放熱シートを受け入れる凹部をケースの内側表面に形成することにより、簡潔な構成で放熱シートの接触位置を安定させることができる発熱素子の実装構造が提案されている。
特開平7−283349号公報 特開2002−280776号公報
In Patent Document 2, a printed circuit board on which a heat generating element is mounted is accommodated in the case, a heat dissipating sheet that contacts both the heat generating element and the case is disposed, and a recess that receives the heat dissipating sheet is formed on the inner surface of the case. A heating element mounting structure that can stabilize the contact position of the heat dissipation sheet with a simple configuration has been proposed.
JP-A-7-283349 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-280776

しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の半導体装置は、CCDイメージセンサなどが実装されるプリント配線基板の裏面側に解放された空間が必要である。車両に搭載する撮像装置は、車両の美観を損なうことがないように、できるだけ小型であることが望ましく、プリント配線基板の裏面側に十分な空間を確保することは難しい。   However, the semiconductor device described in Patent Document 1 requires a free space on the back side of a printed wiring board on which a CCD image sensor or the like is mounted. The imaging device mounted on the vehicle is desirably as small as possible so as not to impair the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, and it is difficult to secure a sufficient space on the back side of the printed wiring board.

また、特許文献2に記載の発熱素子の実装構造は、発熱素子としてCCD又はCMOS等による撮像素子を考慮した構造ではない。撮像素子は、受光部をなすCCD又はCMOS等のICチップをパッケージに封入すると共に、パッケージの一部にガラスなどを用いた受光部への透光領域を設けた構成であるため、放熱シートを撮像素子及びケースの双方に接触して配置することが難しい。よって、特許文献2に係る実装構造を撮像素子の場合に簡単に適用することはできないという問題がある。更に、撮像装置には、外部からの電磁気ノイズが回路動作に与える影響を低減すると共に、回路基板上のノイズ源が発する電磁気ノイズを外部へ放出することを防止することを目的として、回路基板を覆うように金属製のシールドケースが設けられる場合があり、この場合にも特許文献2に係る実装構造を適用することができないという問題がある。よって、撮像装置に適した放熱のための構造が求められる。   In addition, the mounting structure of the heating element described in Patent Document 2 is not a structure in which an imaging element such as a CCD or CMOS is considered as the heating element. Since the imaging element is configured to enclose an IC chip such as a CCD or CMOS forming a light receiving portion in a package and provide a light transmitting region to the light receiving portion using glass or the like in a part of the package. It is difficult to place both the image sensor and the case in contact with each other. Therefore, there is a problem that the mounting structure according to Patent Document 2 cannot be easily applied to an image sensor. Furthermore, the image pickup device is provided with a circuit board for the purpose of reducing the influence of electromagnetic noise from the outside on the circuit operation and preventing the electromagnetic noise generated by the noise source on the circuit board from being released to the outside. There is a case where a metal shield case is provided so as to cover, and in this case as well, there is a problem that the mounting structure according to Patent Document 2 cannot be applied. Therefore, a structure for heat dissipation suitable for the imaging device is required.

また本発明の他の目的とするところは、撮像素子の透光領域に固着された光学フィルタを備える場合に、光学フィルタに嵌合する形状の放熱部材を撮像素子の透光領域の周囲部分と筐体又は鏡筒とに当接させる構成とすることにより、簡単な構成で撮像素子が発する熱を放熱部材を介して効率よく筐体へ放熱することができる撮像装置を提供することにある。   Another object of the present invention is to provide a heat dissipating member fitted to the optical filter when the optical filter fixed to the light-transmitting region of the image sensor is provided. An object of the present invention is to provide an imaging apparatus capable of efficiently dissipating heat generated by an imaging element to a casing through a heat radiating member with a simple configuration by contacting the casing or the lens barrel.

第1発明に係る撮像装置は、透光領域が設けられたパッケージ内に受光部が封入された撮像素子と、電磁気ノイズ遮蔽用のシールドケースと、前記撮像素子及び前記シールドケースを収容する筐体と、前記撮像素子へ光を集光するレンズを保持し、前記筐体に固定された鏡筒とを備える撮像装置において、前記撮像素子の前記透光領域の周囲部分に当接すると共に、前記シールドケースに当接して設けられる第1の放熱部材と、前記シールドケースに設けられ、前記第1の放熱部材を保持する保持部と、前記シールドケースに当接すると共に、前記筐体又は前記鏡筒に当接して設けられる第2の放熱部材と、該第2の放熱部材が当接する前記筐体又は前記鏡筒に設けられ、前記第2の放熱部材を保持する保持部とを備えることを特徴とする。   An image pickup apparatus according to a first aspect of the present invention includes an image pickup element in which a light receiving portion is enclosed in a package provided with a light-transmitting region, a shield case for shielding electromagnetic noise, and a housing that houses the image pickup element and the shield case. And a lens barrel that collects light to the image sensor and is fixed to the housing, and abuts on a peripheral portion of the light-transmitting region of the image sensor, and the shield A first heat dissipating member provided in contact with the case; a holding part provided in the shield case for holding the first heat dissipating member; abutting on the shield case; and the housing or the lens barrel.

本発明においては、撮像素子の透光領域の周囲部分とシールドケースとに第1の放熱部材を当接させ、シールドケースと筐体又は鏡筒とに第2の放熱部材を当接させる。撮像素子が発する熱は第1の放熱部材を介してシールドケースへ伝わり、更に第2の放熱部材を介して筐体へ伝わるため、撮像素子が発する熱を筐体外へ放熱することができる。放熱部材を撮像素子の透光領域の周囲部分にのみ当接させる構成とすることにより、放熱部材が撮像素子の撮像の妨げとなることはない。また、シールドケースに第1の放熱部材を保持する保持部を設け、筐体又は鏡筒に第2の放熱部材を保持する保持部を設ける。これにより、撮像装置に加わる振動などによって放熱部材の配設位置にズレが生じて放熱効率が悪化することを防止できる。   In the present invention, the first heat radiating member is brought into contact with the peripheral portion of the light-transmitting region of the image sensor and the shield case, and the second heat radiating member is brought into contact with the shield case and the casing or the lens barrel. Since the heat generated by the image sensor is transmitted to the shield case via the first heat radiating member and further transmitted to the housing via the second heat radiating member, the heat generated by the image sensor can be dissipated outside the housing. By adopting a configuration in which the heat dissipating member is brought into contact with only the peripheral portion of the light-transmitting region of the image sensor, the heat dissipating member does not hinder the image pickup of the image sensor.

A first bent piece bent toward the image pickup device, and a second bent piece formed by cutting a portion around the opening of the shield case and bending a part of the peripheral portion toward the image pickup device. And having the first heat radiating member sandwiched and held between the first bent piece and the second bent piece.

Further, a U-shaped or semi-circular cut or the like is formed in the peripheral portion of the opening of the shield case, and the second bent piece is provided by bending the inner portion of the cut. A first heat dissipating member disposed between the image sensor and the shield case is sandwiched and fixed between the first and second bent pieces. The first heat dissipating member can be fixed immovably with a simple configuration simply by bending the shield case. In addition, the first heat radiating member can be easily positioned in the manufacturing process of the imaging device.

また、第3発明に係る撮像装置は、前記撮像素子の透光領域に固着された板状の光学フィルタを備え、前記シールドケースの保持部は、前記シールドケースに切り込みを形成して一部を前記撮像素子側へ折り曲げた折曲片を有し、前記光学フィルタの側部及び前記折曲片により前記第1の放熱部材を挟んで保持するようにしてあることを特徴とする。   An image pickup apparatus according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a plate-like optical filter fixed to a light-transmitting region of the image pickup element, and the holding part of the shield case forms a cut in the shield case. It has a bent piece bent to the image pickup device side, and the first heat radiating member is sandwiched and held between the side portion of the optical filter and the bent piece.

本発明においては、シールドケースに例えばコ字型又は半円型等の切込みを形成し、切り込みの内側部分を折り曲げて折曲片を設ける。撮像装置には光学ローパスフィルタ又は赤外線カットフィルタ等の光学フィルタを搭載する必要があることが多く、光学フィルタを撮像素子の透光領域に接着剤などを用いて接着して固定する場合には、シールドケースの折曲片と光学フィルタの側部とにより、撮像素子及びシールドケースの間に配された第1の放熱部材を挟んで固定する。シールドケースを折り曲げるのみの簡単な構成で第1の放熱部材を不動に固定することができる。また、光学フィルタの側部を利用することで、シールドケースの折曲片の数が少なくてよく、シールドケースの製造工程の増加を抑制できる。   In the present invention, for example, a U-shaped or semicircular cut is formed in the shield case, and a bent piece is provided by bending the inner portion of the cut. In many cases, it is necessary to mount an optical filter such as an optical low-pass filter or an infrared cut filter on the imaging device, and when the optical filter is bonded and fixed to the light-transmitting region of the imaging device using an adhesive or the like, The first heat radiating member disposed between the imaging element and the shield case is sandwiched and fixed by the bent piece of the shield case and the side portion of the optical filter. The first heat dissipating member can be fixed immovably with a simple configuration simply by bending the shield case. Moreover, by using the side part of an optical filter, the number of the bending pieces of a shield case may be small, and the increase in the manufacturing process of a shield case can be suppressed.

また、第4発明に係る撮像装置は、透光領域が設けられたパッケージ内に受光部が封入された撮像素子と、電磁気ノイズ遮蔽用のシールドケースと、前記撮像素子及び前記シールドケースを収容する筐体と、前記撮像素子へ光を集光するレンズを保持し、前記筐体に固定された鏡筒とを備える撮像装置において、前記撮像素子の透光領域に固着された板状の光学フィルタと、前記撮像素子の透光領域の周囲部分に当接すると共に、前記シールドケースに当接して設けられ、前記光学フィルタに嵌合する形状をなす第1の放熱部材と、前記シールドケースに当接すると共に、前記筐体又は前記鏡筒に当接して設けられる第2の放熱部材と、該第2の放熱部材が当接する前記筐体又は前記鏡筒に設けられ、前記第2の放熱部材を保持する保持部とを備えることを特徴とする。   An image pickup apparatus according to a fourth aspect of the present invention houses an image pickup element in which a light receiving portion is enclosed in a package provided with a light-transmitting region, a shield case for shielding electromagnetic noise, and the image pickup element and the shield case.

And in contact with the shield case. The second heat radiating member is provided in contact with the shield case and the casing or the lens barrel.

By adopting a configuration in which the heat dissipating member is brought into contact with only the peripheral portion of the light-transmitting region of the image sensor, the heat dissipating member does not hinder the image pickup of the image sensor. In addition, since the first heat radiating member has a shape that fits into the optical filter, there is no deviation in the arrangement position. The second heat dissipating member prevents the disposition position from being displaced by forming a holding portion for holding the heat dissipating member in the housing or the lens barrel.

FIGS. 5A and 5B are schematic views showing the configurations of the front-side casing 71 and the heat dissipation member 60 of the image pickup apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, in which FIG. 5A shows a side sectional view and FIG. Is shown. The heat radiating member 60 has a substantially rectangular shape in which a substantially rectangular opening 61 is formed at the center of a substantially rectangular plate, and is integrally formed of a material having high heat transfer efficiency. When the shield case 20 fixed to the circuit board 10 is accommodated in the housing 70, the heat radiating member 60 abuts on the upper surface of the shield case 20, and the inner surface (the lens barrel portion 73 of the front side housing 71).
