Abstract

An electronic video camera has a camera body which comprises an inner carrier structure and at least one outer cover element which is arranged at the carrier structure and which bounds an interior space of the camera body. In this respect, the camera structure forms a central cooling passage which divides the interior space of the camera body into a ventilation space within the cooling passage and into at least one component space outside the cooling passage. The ventilation space is open toward the environment of the video camera. The component space is sealingly closed with respect to the ventilation space and the environment of the video camera. The video camera has electronic components which are received in the component space and are thermally conductively coupled to the ventilation space via at least one side wall of the cooling passage. The cover element furthermore forms a side cover which is releasable to expose the electronic components arranged in the component space for servicing purposes.

Dependent claims

An electronic video camera (11) having a camera body (13) which comprises an carrier structure (15) and at least one cover element (31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41) which is arranged at the carrier structure (15) and which bounds an interior space (43) of the camera body (13),

wherein the carrier structure (15) includes at least one cooling passage which extends in the interior space (43) at least sectionally along a passage axis (K) and divides the interior space (43) of the camera body (13) into a ventilation space (45) within the at least one cooling passage (15) and into at least one component space (47, 49) outside the at least one cooling passage (15), with the ventilation space (45) being open toward the environment of the video camera (11) and with the component space (47, 49) being sealingly closed with respect to the ventilation space (45);
wherein the video camera (11) has electronic components (53) which are received in the component space (47, 49) and which are thermally conductively coupled to the ventilation space (45) via at least one side wall (17) of the at least one cooling passage (15);
and wherein the electronic components (53) are arranged at the at least one cooling passage (15) at at least two sides of the at least one cooling passage (15) aligned opposite to one another transversely to the passage axis (K).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
