Switching device for right and left image reversion in rear monitoring camera of automobile
First Claim
1. In a rear monitoring camera of automobile including a controller for controlling the overall operation of a system, a body for protecting various components inside the camera, a photographing section installed at the front of the body and adapted to photograph surrounding objects or background, a printed circuit board mounted inside the body and adapted to electrically connect the various components to each other, and a switching device for left/right image reversion electrically connected to the printed circuit board and adapted to select either a normal image or a mirror image displayed on a monitor, the switching device for left/right image reversion comprising:
- a magnet for generating a magnetic force;
a pair of magnet insertion holes formed at a rear side of a casing connected to the printed circuit board mounted inside the body of the camera in such a manner as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance such that the magnet is inserted thereinto, and adapted to form a normal image and a mirror image, respectively;
a magnet sensor for turning on a switch embedded therein by means of a magnetic field generated in the magnet when the magnet is inserted into the magnet insertion hole for normal image;
a power supplying section for supplying an electric power to the magnet sensor;
a signal stabilizing circuit for stabilizing the electric power applied from the power supplying section when the switch embedded inside the magnet sensor is turned on so as to generate a normal image control signal(High); and
a timing section for providing the normal image control signal(High) generated from the signal stabilizing circuit to the controller to display a normal image on the monitor.

Abstract
Disclosed is a switching device for left/right image reversion in a rear monitoring camera of automobile, which can ensure simplicity in assembling the camera and improve reliability of on/off operation by mounting a magnet sensor inside a body of the rear monitoring camera and attaching a magnet to the outside of the body. The switching device for left/right image reversion includes the magnet for generating a magnetic force, a pair of magnet insertion holes formed at a rear side of a casing connected to a printed circuit board mounted inside camera in such a manner as to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance such that the magnet is inserted thereinto, and adapted to form a normal image and a mirror image, respectively, a magnet sensor for turning on a switch embedded therein by means of a magnetic field generated in the magnet when the magnet is inserted into the magnet insertion hole for normal image; a power supplying section for supplying an electric power to the magnet sensor, a signal stabilizing circuit for stabilizing the electric power applied from the power supplying section when the switch embedded in the magnet sensor is turned on so as to generate a normal image control signal(High), and a timing section for providing the normal image control signal(High) generated from the signal stabilizing circuit to a controller to display a normal image on the monitor.
