Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 A schematic view of a camera module 100 with a housing 107 and a drive unit 111 adjacent to the housing 107 is shown. In the interior of the housing 107, a camera unit 101 (not shown) with a camera 103 and a lens 105 is arranged, wherein the camera unit 101 can move between an inactive position and an active position, in which the camera unit 101 is arranged at least partially in housing 107 , while in the activated position camera unit 101 can image an area outside the motor vehicle. The drive unit 111 is coupled with the camera unit 101 and can reciprocate the camera unit 101 between an inactive position and an active position. In addition, a cleaning device 113 (not shown) is arranged in the housing 107 , which is either embodied in a coupled manner to the drive unit 111 or alternatively is connected to the housing 107 of the camera module 100 .

Abstract

The present invention relates to a camera module for a motor vehicle having a camera unit (101) with a camera (103) and a lens (105), wherein the camera unit (101) is arranged in a housing, and wherein the camera unit (101) is designed to be movable between a passive position, in which the camera unit (101) is arranged at least partially in the housing, and an active position, in which the cameraunit (101) serves to visually detect an outer area of a motor vehicle, and with a drive unit which is coupled to the camera unit (101) and is designed to move the camera unit (101) between the passiveposition and the active position, and with a cleaning device (113) for cleaning the lens (105) of the camera unit (101) with a jet of fluid, wherein the camera module has a deflection element (115) for deflecting the jet of fluid onto the lens (105).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a camera module for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1 , wherein the camera module comprises a camera unit with a camera and a lens, wherein the camera unit is arranged in a housing, and wherein the camera unit is arranged in a Movement between an inactive position (in which the camera unit is at least partially arranged in the housing) and an active position (in which the camera unit is used for imaging detection of an area outside the motor vehicle) constructed in a way. Additionally, the camera module comprises: a drive unit coupled to the camera unit and configured to move the camera unit between an inactive position and an activated position; and a cleaning device for cleaning the lens of the camera unit with a fluid jet . Background technique [0002] From known camera modules for motor vehicles, cleaning devices are known which apply a fluid jet directly to the lens in order to clean the lens or the o...
