[0008] (The knowledge and other information that formed the basis of this disclosure) At the time when the inventors came up with the idea of ​​the present disclosure, a technique existed in which a camera was mounted on the top of the refrigerator that took a picture when it detected an object passing through the opening of the refrigerator. However, since the electronic circuitry of the camera unit including the camera generates heat, the camera unit may become relatively hot. Therefore, the inventors discovered a problem that, if the electronic circuitry generates heat, and the heat is not efficiently dissipated, safety may not be ensured if the electronic circuitry were to catch fire. In order to solve this problem, the subject of the present disclosure has been constituted. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a camera unit that can improve safety.

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, in some cases, more detailed explanations than necessary may be omitted. For example, detailed explanations of already well-known matters or duplicate explanations of substantially the same configurations may be omitted. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0010] (Embodiment 1) [1-1. Configuration] Fig. 1 is a front view of a camera unit 1 and a refrigerator 100 according to the first embodiment. Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of Fig. 1, showing a cross section perpendicular to the left-right direction. In the following description, the direction indicated by the symbol X in the figure is the leftward direction, the direction indicated by the symbol Y is the forward direction, and the direction indicated by the symbol Z is the upward direction. [1-1-1. Refrigerator configuration] As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, refrigerator 100 includes main box 120 with an open front. Main box 120 is formed with refrigeration compartment 121, ice-making compartment 122, fresh freezing compartment 123, freezer compartment 124, and vegetable compartment 125. These compartments are cooled with cold air. Side-opening doors 121A and 121B are provided at the opening at the front of refrigeration compartment 121. Fig. 3 is a front view of refrigerator 100 with camera unit 1 and doors 121A and 121B open. Drawers 122A, 123A, 124A, and 125A capable of accommodating items are installed in each of ice making compartment 122, fresh freezing compartment 123, freezing compartment 124, and vegetable compartment 125. Each of drawers 122A to 125A has an open top when installed.

[0011] Camera unit 1 is installed on top surface 120A, which is the outer upper surface of main box body 120 of refrigerator 100. Top surface 120A of main box body 120 is made of metal. Moreover, a metal such as iron to which magnet 59 is attracted is used as the metal constituting top surface 120A.

[0012] [1-1-2. Camera unit configuration] Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the camera unit 1, showing the camera unit 1 as viewed from above. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the camera unit 1, showing the camera unit 1 as viewed from below. Fig. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the camera unit 1, showing the camera unit 1 in a state in which the cover member 30 has been removed from the case member 20. Fig. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the camera unit 1, showing the camera unit 1 in a state in which the cover member 30 and the metal plate 40 have been removed from the case member 20. The camera unit 1 includes a case member 20, a cover member 30, and a metal plate 40 housed inside the case member. The case member 20 is a rectangular member in a plan view. The case member 20 is composed of a base portion 21A located at the rear and installed on a top surface 120A, and an imaging portion 21B extending forward of the base portion 21A and having a predetermined gap with respect to the top surface 120A. The case member 20 is made of a flame-retardant resin, such as ABS resin with a flame retardant added thereto.

[0013] Legs 22A1 are provided at the four outer corners of the bottom surface 22A of the base 21A. The legs 22A1 are for setting the case member 20 with a predetermined gap from the top surface 120A, and are made of, for example, rubber. A position restricting portion 26 extending downward is formed on the front end surface 21A1 of the base 21A. The position restricting portion 26 is formed in a flat plate shape perpendicular to the front-rear direction. The position restricting portion 26 comes into contact with the front end edge 120B of the main box body 120 of the refrigerator 100 from the front. By coming into contact with the front end edge 120B, the position restricting portion 26 restricts the rearward movement of the camera unit 1.

[0014] A first positioning portion 26A is provided on the front surface of the position restriction portion. In this embodiment, the first positioning portion 26A is a mark that is visible from the front. The first positioning portion 26A is provided in the center of the camera unit 1 in the left-right direction.

[0015] FIG. 8 is a plan view of the case member 20. As shown in FIG. 7 and 8, a power supply board 51 is fixed to the base 21A. The power supply board 51 is connected to an external power source and supplies power necessary for the operation of each part of the camera unit 1. The power supply board 51 is an example of a "board" in this disclosure.

[0016] The power supply board 51 is connected to a power supply harness 51B capable of transmitting power. The power supply harness 51B is routed inside the case member 20 on the right side of the power supply board 51. The power supply harness 51B extends from the rear end of the case member 20 to the outside of the case member 20 and is connected to an external power supply. Power output from the external power supply is supplied to the power supply board 51 via the power supply harness 51B. In this embodiment, the power supply harness 51B is connected to a 100V commercial power supply. The power supply harness 51B may be connected to a power supply board of the refrigerator 100. In this case, the camera unit 1 and the refrigerator 100 may be connected via a USB cable or a harness.

[0017] A sensor board 53 is fixed to the base 21A. The sensor board 53 is a board that transmits and receives signals to and from each sensor, such as a distance measurement sensor 65, a thermopile 67, and an illuminance sensor 69, that are provided in the camera unit 1. The sensor board 53 is located on the left side of the power supply board 51. The sensor board 53 is an example of a "board" in this disclosure.

[0018] A system on a chip (SoC) board 55 is fixed to the imaging unit 21B. The SoC board 55 is a board that controls the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63. The SoC board 55 is connected to the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63 via two flexible flat cables (FFC) 83. The SoC board 55 is an example of a "board" in this disclosure.

[0019] In case member 20, partition section 23 is formed at a position surrounding power supply board 51 in a plan view. Further, sensor board 53, SoC board 55, wide-angle camera 61, and narrow-angle camera 63 are arranged inside partition section 23. Partition section 23 is formed in a shape that protrudes upward from base section 21A and imaging section 21B.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, a wide-angle camera 61 and a narrow-angle camera 63 are attached to the front end of the photographing section 21B of the case member 20. Wide-angle camera 61 photographs each part of refrigerator 100 including refrigerator compartment 121. Narrow-angle camera 63 photographs an area including drawers 122A, 123A, 124A, and 125A. The camera unit may also photograph items being put in or taken out of refrigerator compartment 121, ice making compartment 122, fresh freezing compartment 123, freezer compartment 124, and vegetable compartment 125.

[0021] Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the camera unit 1, showing a cross section taken at the center in the left-right direction of the camera unit 1. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of the camera unit 1, showing the camera unit 1 cut at cross section XX in Fig. 8. 7 to 10, the metal plate 40 is a member made of sheet metal. The metal plate 40 is fixed to the imaging unit 21B via fastening members such as screws, bolts, and screws. The metal plate 40 covers the entire inner surface of the partition unit 23 from above. That is, metal plate 40 covers power supply board 51, sensor board 53, SoC board 55, wide-angle camera 61, and narrow-angle camera 63, and seals area R1 surrounded by partition 23.

[0022] The metal plate 40 has a plate rear portion 40X that overlaps with the power supply board 51 and the sensor board 53 in a plan view. A rib 43 is formed at the front end of the plate rear portion 40X. The rib 43 rises upward from the entire width of the front end of the plate rear portion 40X in the left-right direction.

[0023] A plate central part 40Y is integrally formed at the front end of the plate rear part 40X, extending forward from the upper end of the rib 43. The plate central part 40Y is disposed across the base part 21A and the imaging part 21B in a plan view. The plate central part 40Y is disposed at a higher position than the plate rear part 40X. The plate central part 40Y covers the SoC substrate 55 from above. A downwardly recessed heat dissipation section 45 is formed in the approximate center of the plate central section 40Y. The heat dissipation section 45 is in contact with the upper surface of the heat generating element mounted on the SoC substrate 55 via a thermally conductive sheet 55A. This allows the heat from the heat generating element to be transferred to the metal plate 40 quickly.

[0024] Plate front portion 40Z, which is lower in height than plate central portion 40Y, is integrally formed at the front end of plate central portion 40Y. Plate front portion 40Z covers wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 from above. Plate front portion 40Z is in contact with the upper surfaces of wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 via a heat conductive sheet. This allows heat from wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 to be rapidly transferred to metal plate 40.

[0025] 9, heat dissipation holes 31 are formed at the rear of the cover member 30 at a position corresponding to the power supply board 51. The heat dissipation holes 31 are holes that penetrate the cover member 30 and communicate between the inside and outside of the case member 20. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation holes 31 are holes that are formed with the longitudinal direction being the left-right direction, and a plurality of the heat dissipation holes 31 are formed lined up in the front-rear direction.

[0026] The heat dissipation holes 31 allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the case member 20. This makes it easier to dissipate heat generated from the power supply board 51 and the like to the outside of the case member 20 by convection heat transfer.

[0027] Fig. 11 is a plan view of the cover member 30 as viewed from below. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the cover member 30 as viewed from below. The cover member 30 has a contact portion 33 on the back surface thereof, which overlaps with the partition portion 23 in a plan view. The contact portion 33 has a rear contact portion 33X, a central contact portion 33Y, and a front contact portion 33Z. The rear contact portion 33X, the central contact portion 33Y, and the front contact portion 33Z may be collectively referred to simply as the contact portion 33.

[0028] The rear contact portion 33X is formed at a position overlapping with the partition portion 23 that mainly surrounds the portion to which the power supply board 51 and the sensor board 53 are attached. The rear contact portion 33X presses the plate rear portion 40X of the metal plate 40 against the partition portion 23. The portion of the rear contact portion 33X that is formed in the front-rear direction has an uneven shape. Therefore, even if liquid enters through the heat dissipation holes 31, the liquid does not accumulate on the plate rear portion 40X and can be drained.

[0029] The central contact portion 33Y is formed at a position overlapping with the partition portion that mainly surrounds the portion to which the SoC substrate 55 is attached. The central contact portion 33Y presses the plate central portion 40Y of the metal plate 40 against the partition portion .

[0030] The front contact portion 33Z is formed at a position overlapping with the partition portion 23 that surrounds the portion where the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63 are mainly attached. The front contact portion 33Z presses the plate front portion 40Z of the metal plate 40 against the partition portion 23.

[0031] The cover member 30 has a rib 35 on the back surface thereof that overlaps with the rib 27 in a plan view. 7 and 8, in case member 20, ribs 27 are formed between SoC board 55 and wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63. Ribs 27 and ribs 35 are formed to have substantially the same shape. Ribs 27 and ribs 35 close region R1 so that region R1 is not exposed to the outside from heat transfer suppressing portion 49, which is a gap in metal plate 40.

[0032] As shown in Fig. 9, the case member 20 includes a magnet case 57. Fig. 8 shows a state in which the magnet case 57 has been removed, exposing the magnet 59. If the magnet case 57 were not present, the region R1 would be exposed to the outside from the location where the magnet 59 is attached, and the sealing performance of the region R1 would be reduced. The magnet case 57 improves the sealing performance of the region R1. The partition portion 23 has a plurality of cutout portions 25 through which the wiring 81 passes. The cutout portions 25 have the wiring 81 routed therethrough and are closed by a sealing member 58. The sealing member 58 is, for example, a resin or a sponge.

[0033] Wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 correspond to an example of a "camera." Power supply board 51 corresponds to an example of a "first board." SoC board 55 corresponds to an example of a "second board." Sensor board 53 corresponds to an example of a "third board." Area R1 corresponds to an example of "area of ​​the case member where the electronic circuit unit is arranged." The electronic circuit unit is a member that includes the power supply board 51. Furthermore, the electronic circuit unit may include at least any one of the SoC board 55, the sensor board 53, the wide-angle camera 61, and the narrow-angle camera 63. The electronic circuit unit in this embodiment includes all of the power supply board 51, the SoC board 55, the sensor board 53, the wide-angle camera 61, and the narrow-angle camera 63.

[0034] [1-2. Effects, etc.] The operation of the camera unit 1 configured as above will now be described with reference mainly to FIGS. Theoretically, sensor board 53 and SoC board 55 can output a power of 15 W or more. Furthermore, wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 can also output a power of 15 W or more. The electronic circuit section is surrounded by a flame-retardant material. The electronic circuit section, which is a heat-generating component, is covered by case member 20 made of flame-retardant ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) on the bottom and metal plate 40, which is non-flammable on the top, thereby improving the safety of camera unit 1. Furthermore, since metal plate 40 has high thermal conductivity, it can improve heat dissipation efficiency while sealing region R1.

[0035] In addition, the electronic circuit section, wide-angle camera 61, and narrow-angle camera 63 are separated on the sides by partitions 23 inside case member 20, thereby improving the safety of camera unit 1. Partitions 23 and case member 20 are made of the same material.

[0036] The contact portion 33 presses the metal plate 40 downward, reducing the gap between the partition portion 23 and the metal plate 40. The partition portion 23 is disposed so that the gap between the metal plate 40 and the upper end of the partition portion 23, other than the notch portion 25, is equal to or less than a predetermined gap. The predetermined gap is, for example, 0.5 mm. Since the gap between the metal plate 40 and the partition portion 23 is reduced, it is possible to prevent insects or other invaders from entering the region R1, thereby reducing the risk of malfunction of the camera unit 1 and improving safety. Since the refrigerator 100 is installed in a kitchen, where insects are likely to occur, reducing the gap between the metal plate 40 and the partition portion 23 is particularly suitable for the camera unit 1 installed in the refrigerator 100.

[0037] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, camera unit 1 is installed on top surface 120A of refrigerator 100, and includes case member 20 and an electronic circuit unit stored in case member 20, and the electronic circuit unit is surrounded by a flame-retardant material.

[0038] According to this, since the electronic circuit section is covered with a flame-retardant material, even if the electronic circuit section catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading, thereby improving the safety of the camera unit 1.

[0039] The electronic circuit section may also include at least a power supply board 51 that controls the power supply.

[0040] According to this, since the power supply board, which is prone to heat generation, is covered with a flame-retardant material, even if the power supply board catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading, thereby improving the safety of the camera unit 1.

[0041] The electronic circuit unit may further include an SoC board 55 that controls the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63 , and a sensor board 53 that controls each unit other than the SoC board 55 and the power supply board 51 .

[0042] According to this, since the SoC board 55 and the sensor board 53, which are likely to generate heat, are covered with a flame-retardant material, even if at least one of the SoC board 55 and the sensor board 53 catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading, thereby improving the safety of the camera unit 1.

[0043] The electronic circuitry may further include a wide-angle camera 61 and a narrow-angle camera 63 .

[0044] According to this, since the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63, which tend to generate heat, are covered with a flame-retardant material, if at least one of the wide-angle camera 61 and the narrow-angle camera 63 catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading. Therefore, the safety of the camera unit 1 can be improved.

[0045] The electronic circuit unit is further provided with a metal plate 40 that covers the electronic circuit unit in a plan view. The case member 20 is formed from a flame-retardant resin, and the electronic circuit unit is surrounded by the case member 20 and the metal plate 40.

[0046] According to this, since the electronic circuit section is covered by the flame-retardant case member 20 and the non-flammable metal plate 40, even if the electronic circuit section catches fire, the fire can be prevented from spreading, thereby improving the safety of the camera unit 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the case member 20 may be formed with a partition portion 23 that surrounds the region R1 of the case member 20 in which the electronic circuit portion is disposed.

[0048] According to this, since the electronic circuit section is concentrated in a part inside the case member 20, the electronic circuit section can be covered with a non-flammable or flame-retardant material, and the safety of the camera unit 1 can be further improved.

[0049] In addition, the partition 23 may have a cutout portion 25 inside the case member 20 through which wiring 81 that is routed from outside the region R1 passes, and the metal plate 40 may be formed so that the gap between the metal plate 40 and the end of the part of the partition 23 other than the cutout portion 25 is equal to or less than a predetermined distance.

[0050] This makes it possible to prevent insects from entering the electronic circuit section even in places where insects are likely to appear, such as kitchens, thereby improving the safety of camera unit 1. Also, because region R1 in which the electronic circuit section is disposed is sealed, the safety of camera unit 1 can be improved.

[0051] Also, a cover member 30 that covers the open surface of the case member 20 may be provided, and a contact portion 33 that presses the metal plate 40 against the partition portion 23 may be formed on the rear surface of the cover member 30 .

[0052] According to this, the region R1 in which the electronic circuit portion is disposed is sealed, so that the safety of the camera unit 1 can be improved.

[0053] (Other embodiments) As described above, the above-mentioned embodiment has been described as an example disclosed in the present application. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can be applied to an embodiment in which modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, etc. are made. In addition, it is also possible to combine the components described in the above-mentioned embodiment to create a new embodiment. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0054] In the above embodiment, region R1 is one space separated by partition 23, but it is not limited to this and may be multiple spaces. For example, a separate partition may be provided to separate only wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63, and this may be configured as region R1. In addition, wide-angle camera 61 and narrow-angle camera 63 do not need to be surrounded by a flame-retardant material.

[0055] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments are intended to illustrate the technology of the present disclosure, and various modifications, substitutions, additions, omissions, and the like can be made within the scope of the claims or their equivalents.
