Wireless Transceiver Heat Shielding in Image Pickup Apparatus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image pickup apparatuses face issues where heat generated by the wireless transmitter-receiver unit affects not only the image pickup device but also the control system devices, leading to instability and potential deterioration in image quality.
Innovation Solution
The apparatus is designed with a power unit having higher heat resistance than the image pickup device and control system devices, and the wireless transmitter-receiver unit is positioned closer to the power unit than to the image pickup device and control system devices, minimizing heat transfer and ensuring stable operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the wireless transmitter-receiver unit is disposed away from the image pickup device to avoid heat conveyance, then the image quality is maintained, but the control system devices are still affected by heat and become unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The power unit serves as an intermediary component with higher heat resistance that acts as a thermal buffer between the wireless transmitter-receiver unit and the control system devices. By positioning the power unit closer to the wireless transmitter-receiver unit, it absorbs and dissipates heat before it can reach the temperature-sensitive control system devices, thereby maintaining both image quality and control stability.
2Reliability
If the wireless transmitter-receiver unit is disposed close to the power unit, then heat resistance is improved for control system devices, but the distance to the image pickup device increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs different spatial relationships for different components: the power unit is positioned close to the wireless transmitter-receiver unit to provide thermal protection, while the image pickup device maintains its original position for optimal optical performance. This localized optimization shows that the power unit can be positioned independently to serve the thermal protection function without compromising the image pickup quality.

AI summary
An image pickup apparatus is provided that is capable of avoiding an image pickup device and control system devices thereof from being affected by heat generated by a wireless transmitter-receiver unit, whereby the control system devices can stably be operated, while avoiding the quality of photographed image from being deteriorated. In the image pickup apparatus, a power unit has an upper limit of guaranteed temperature higher than that of the image pickup device and higher than those of an image processing unit and a control unit which are the control system devices, and is mounted on a mounting surface of a board together with the image processing unit and the control unit. A wireless transmitter-receiver unit is disposed parallel to and facing the mounting surface of the board so as to cover the power unit mounted on the board.
