AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Wind noise is generated by imaging devices mounted on vehicles due to vortices formed by vehicle movement, which amplify inside the housing and cause discomfort to occupants.
Method used
The imaging device mounting structure features a peripheral wall with a front wall portion located forward of the optical axis and a rear wall portion located rearward, where the front wall protrudes further outward than the rear wall, designed to minimize vortex impact on the rear wall and reduce wind noise.
Benefits of technology
This configuration effectively suppresses wind noise by preventing vortices from striking the rear wall, thus reducing noise generation during vehicle travel.

Abstract
To provide a fitting structure for an imaging device capable of suppressing the generation of wind noise caused by traveling wind.SOLUTION: A fitting structure 10 for an imaging device comprises an imaging device 12 mounted on a roof 2 of a vehicle 1, and a housing 13 that accommodates at least a part of the imaging device. The imaging device has a lens 15 oriented toward the front side and left and right outward sides of the vehicle. The housing includes a peripheral wall part 21 disposed on the outer periphery of the lens. The peripheral wall part has, in plan view, a front wall portion 29 disposed in front of an optical axis A of the lens, and in plan view, a rear wall portion 30 disposed behind the optical axis of the lens. When a direction parallel to the optical axis of the lens and extending toward the front side and left and right outward sides of the vehicle is defined as an outward direction, and the tip side in the outward direction is defined as the outer side, in plan view, an end 29A on the outer side of the front wall portion is positioned on the outer side relative to an end 30A on the outer side of the rear wall portion.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
