Video-camera device for a motor vehicle and assembly method
First Claim
1. A video-camera device comprising:
- a motherboard characterized as rectangular;
a daughterboard comprising a video-camera module the optical axis of which is perpendicular to a main plane of the daughterboard;
the motherboard including a main segment characterized as rigid, said main segment comprising image-processing electronic components;
the motherboard including a secondary segment that is made of the same material as, and integrally formed with, the main segment;
characterized in thatthe secondary segment is partially surrounded by a void;
the secondary segment has a rectilinear border defining the junction between the main segment and the secondary segment, the rectilinear border defining a pivot axis of the secondary segment;
the secondary segment comprises an intermediate segment and a connecting segment;
the intermediate segment extending between the rectilinear border and the connecting segment;
the intermediate segment having a reduced thickness with respect to the thickness of the main segment;
the daughterboard is mounted perpendicularly on the secondary segment in such a way that the secondary segment is inclinable relatively to the surface of the main segment about the pivot axis in order to allow the angle of inclination between the optical axis of the video-camera module and the main segment to be adjusted.

Abstract
A video-camera device comprises a motherboard, and a daughterboard comprising a video-camera module the optical axis of which is perpendicular to a main plane of the daughterboard. The motherboard includes a rigid main segment comprising image-processing electronic components. The motherboard including a secondary segment made of the same material as, and integrally formed with, the main segment. The secondary segment is partially surrounded by a void. The secondary segment has a rectilinear border defining the junction between the main segment and the secondary segment. The rectilinear border defines a pivot axis of the secondary segment. The daughterboard is mounted perpendicularly on the secondary segment in such a way that the secondary segment is inclinable relative to the surface of the main segment about the pivot axis in order to allow the angle of inclination between the optical axis of the video-camera module and the main segment to be adjusted.

7. A method for assembling a video-camera device, said method being characterized in that it includes the steps of:
-
providing a motherboard that is rectangular on the whole, including a rigid main segment and a secondary segment that is partially surrounded by a void, and having a rectilinear border defining a junction between the main segment and the secondary segment, the rectilinear border defining a pivot axis of the secondary segment so that the secondary segment is inclinable relatively to the surface of the main segment about the pivot axis; producing a connecting segment on the secondary segment, intended for connection of a daughterboard; producing the secondary segment comprises an intermediate segment and a connecting segment; wherein the intermediate segment extending between the rectilinear border and the connecting segment; the intermediate segment having a reduced thickness with respect to the thickness of the main segment; providing a daughterboard comprising a video-camera module the optical axis of which is perpendicular to the main plane of the daughterboard; providing a housing assembly including an upper cover and a lower housing; fastening the video-camera module to the upper cover; assembling the motherboard and the daughterboard by connecting the daughterboard orthogonally to the connecting segment; assembling the lower housing with the upper cover so as to close the housing assembly; fastening flat the motherboard to the bottom wall of the lower housing, the optical axis of the video-camera module being inclined by an angle α
relatively to the surface of the main segment of the motherboard.- View Dependent Claims (8)
