Abstract
The invention relates to a housing part 81 for a camera housing 7, in particular for use in the automobile sector, having an outer-side housing shell 912 and an inner-side housing shell 911 and an associated production method. The outer-side housing shell 912 is produced from a synthetic material and the inner-side housing shell 911 is produced from a material that is more capable of conducting heat than the synthetic material of the outer-side housing shell 912. The outer-side housing shell 912 is connected respectively directly to the inner-side housing shell 911 via all the opposite-lying surface regions of the outer-side housing shell 912 and the inner-side housing shell 911.
Claims20
A housing, comprising:
- an outer housing shell of a plastic material;
- and
- an inner housing shell of a second material, wherein
- a thermal conductivity of said second material is higher than a thermal conductivity of said plastic material,
- said inner housing shell is shaped to nest into said outer housing shell such that substantially an entire outer surface of said inner housing shell contacts an inner surface of said outer housing shell in a nested configuration of said inner housing shell and said outer housing shell,
- an entire major outer surface of said inner housing shell contacts said inner surface in said nested configuration,
- said inner housing shell frictionally engages said outer housing shell in said nested configuration,
- said major outer surface of said inner housing shell comprises a plurality of protruding structures,
- said inner surface of said outer housing shell comprises a plurality of indentations, and
- each of said plurality of indentations receives a respective one of said plurality of protruding structures in said nested configuration in a manner that improves a transfer of heat from said inner housing shell to said outer housing shell.

A camera assembly, comprising:
- an outer housing shell of a plastic material;
- an inner housing shell of a second material;
- and
- a camera housed in said outer housing shell, wherein
- a thermal conductivity of said second material is higher than a thermal conductivity of said plastic material,
- said inner housing shell is shaped to nest into said outer housing shell such that substantially an entire outer surface of said inner housing shell contacts an inner surface of said outer housing shell in a nested configuration of said inner housing shell and said outer housing shell,
- an entire major outer surface of said inner housing shell contacts said inner surface in said nested configuration,
- said inner housing shell frictionally engages said outer housing shell in said nested configuration,
- at least one of said major outer surface of said inner housing shell and said inner surface of said outer housing shell comprises a first protruding structure,
- another of said major outer surface and said inner surface comprises an indentation, and
- said indentation matingly receiving said first protruding structure in a manner that improves a transfer of heat from said inner housing shell to said outer housing shell.
