Abstract
The present invention relates to a camera for a motor vehicle. The camera includes a housing that delimits the boundary of a receiving space. A lens module of the camera and a circuit board of the camera are arranged in the receiving space. The circuit board and the lens module are arranged axially spaced apart from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the camera so that between the circuit board and the lens module, a clearance is formed. Between the circuit board and the lens module, an elastic sealing is arranged so that the clearance is sealed, by the sealing, from the remaining volume space in the housing. The sealing includes a predetermined bending point where a width of the sealing is minimal to allow bending.
Claims15
A camera for a motor vehicle,
- wherein the camera comprises a housing,
- wherein a receiving space is bounded by the housing,
- wherein a lens module of the camera and a circuit board of the camera are arranged in the receiving space,
- wherein the circuit board and the lens module are arranged axially spaced apart from each other in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the camera so that between the circuit board and the lens module a clearance is formed,
- wherein between the circuit board and the lens module an elastic sealing is arranged so that the clearance is sealed, by the sealing, from the remaining volume space in the housing,
- wherein the sealing comprises a predetermined bending point, at which a width of the sealing transverse to the longitudinal axis is minimal in comparison with the width of the sealing in regions of the sealing adjoining the predetermined bending point so that in case of an axial compression, the sealing is bent transverse to the longitudinal axis at the predetermined bending point.
A sealing for a camera, comprising:
- a predetermined bending point, at which a width of the sealing transverse to a direction of a longitudinal axis of the sealing is minimal in comparison with a width of the sealing in regions of the sealing adjoining the predetermined bending point so that the sealing in case of an axial compression is bendable transverse to the longitudinal axis at the predetermined bending point.
