Tailgate With Reversing Camera

Abstract

A tailgate for a vehicle includes an outer skin, a grip 14 recessed into the outer skin, which open towards the bottom and a camera 20. A wall of the recessed grip 14 is formed at least in part by a cover 13 of an extendable mounting member 21 for the camera 20.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tailgate for a motor vehicle with an integrated reversing camera. Background technique [0002] From the document DE 10 2010 045 214 A1 a camera arrangement for placement in a tailgate is known, in which a handle bucket is integrated. In this way, the user grasping the grab handle can apply the force necessary to open the tailgate, the grab handle having to be seated in a surface of the tailgate which is oriented approximately tangentially with respect to the pivot axis. [0003] Many tailgates have recesses to accommodate the number plate. The upper edge of the groove generally has an orientation suitable for arranging the clasp bucket. However, this upper edge is also very susceptible to contamination, because the dust that rolls up and falls on the tailgate and is washed down by the rain from the steeper areas of the cover tends to settle in the less steep areas, as in the aforementioned upper edge and The projection of...

Problems solved by technology

However, this upper edge is also very susceptible to contamination, because the dust that rolls up and falls on the tailgate and is washed down by the rain from the steeper areas of the cover tends to settle in the less steep areas, as in the aforementioned upper edge and The projection of the camera unit pointing downwards first

This protrusion is formed by a cover, which can be opened to remove the camera, but there is a risk of sticking due to the covering dirt

Because rainwater laden with dust cannot flow up into the bucket, the bucket itself remains relatively clean, but the user's fingers can easily get dirty when gripped next to the bucket while trying to open the lid

This possibility is very high in the known camera arrangement, since on the one hand its width is limited by the necessity to arrange not only the camera arrangement itself but also the number plate lighting on the upper edge of the number plate recess , and because the door cover next to the hand-to-hand bucket needs space, this space cannot be used for the hand-to-hand bucket
