The lens holder can be made in one piece with an upper housing mounted in a lower housing, the electrical contact area being arranged on the external face of the cylindrical wall of the upper housing, and in that the flexible part is pinched between the cylindrical wall of the upper housing and the cylindrical wall of the lower housing.
The conductive trace can extend to the free outer end of the lens holder to form the heating element, for example by forming a ring.
The lens support may include a first insulating layer on which the electrically conductive trace is arranged.
The lens support may include a second insulating layer covering the electrically conductive trace with the exception of its electrical contact area.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In order to facilitate the description, and without limitation, an orthogonal coordinate system comprising a longitudinal axis L, a transverse axis T and a vertical axis V is defined. Orientations "bottom", "top", "above", "below", "lower" and "upper" are defined in the vertical direction. "Left", "Right" and "Lateral" orientations are defined according to the transverse direction. "Front" and "rear" orientations are also defined in the longitudinal direction.
According to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an optical device 10, more particularly a vehicle camera is shown. This type of camera is intended to be mounted outside the vehicle and therefore to be subjected to conditions external to the vehicle such as the climate.
According to FIG. 1, the optical device 10 comprises an upper housing 12 and a lower housing 14.
The upper housing 12 comprises a lens support 16 equipped with optical lenses 15 and surmounted by a protective glass 18 held on the lens support 16 by a retaining cover 20. The upper housing 12 also comprises a cylindrical base 22 open to its lower end 24 and an upper end wall 50; a first printed circuit board 26 being provided to be fixed on the lower end 24, by means of a first adhesive seal 28, so as to hermetically seal the upper case 12.
The first printed circuit board 26 includes an electronic image capture circuit 30 aligned with the lenses along the optical axis O of the optical device 10.
The lower housing 14 is of hollow cylindrical shape with a rectangular base. The lower housing 14 includes a housing bottom 32 comprising a connector 34. The connector 34 comprises a connector body 36 made integrally with the lower housing 14 as well as a set of electrical terminals 38 intended to be inserted in the body of the connector 36 and designed to be in electrical contact with a second printed circuit card 40.
The second printed circuit board 40 comprises means of electrical connections 42 with the first printed circuit board 26, more particularly, the electrical connection means 42 are produced by elastic tabs fixed on the second printed circuit board 40 and in contact by compression with the first printed circuit board. 26
The upper housing 12 is fixed to the lower housing 14 by means of a second adhesive seal 44. More particularly, the base 22 of the upper housing 12 comprises a cylindrical external rim 46 arranged on the external surface of the cylindrical wall 48 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12. The rim 46 is arranged between the upper end wall 50 and the lower end 24 of the base 22 so as to define an upper portion 54 and a lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12. The lower portion 52 of the base 22 is inserted into the lower housing 14 until the flange 46 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 abuts against the second adhesive seal 44 arranged on the upper surface of the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14. The upper surface of the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14 thus forms a bearing surface.
Alternatively, the bearing surface of the lower housing can be arranged elsewhere than on the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14. By way of example, the bearing surface can be formed by an internal rim on the internal surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower housing 14.
Optionally, the second adhesive seal 44 can be produced by depositing glue on the upper surface of the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14, or on the flange 46 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12.
In more detail and according to FIG. 2, the upper end wall 50 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 is crossed by the tubular lens support 16. The lens support 16 extends along the optical axis O of the optical device 10 from its first end arranged inside the base 22 to its second end arranged outside the upper end wall 50 of the base 22. The second end is an external free end 60 of the lens holder 16. The part of the lens holder 16 arranged inside the base 22 defines a lower section 59 of the lens holder 16, the part of the lens holder lenses 16 arranged outside the base 22 defines an upper section 57 of the lens holder 16. The lens holder 16 shown comprises four generally evenly spaced lenses. This arrangement allows a multi-lens structure while minimizing the length, along the optical axis O, of the optical device 10.
According to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the body of the connector 36 comprises a cylindrical wall 62 of circular base extending vertically from the external face of the housing bottom 32 to its free end 64 and a portion 66 hollowed out in the thickness of the bottom of the housing 32. The body of the connector 36 comprises a cylindrical cavity 68 of circular base comprising three sections, of different diameters, in continuity with one another. The three-section cavity allows fixed arrangement of the set of electrical terminals.
The first section 70 is hollowed out overall from the internal surface of the wall of the housing bottom 32 to half the thickness of the wall of the housing bottom 32. The first section 70 is a cylindrical section of circular base comprising a first diameter Dl. The second section 72, in continuity with the first section 70, forms a cavity of second diameter D2 slightly smaller than the first diameter D1. The second section 72 extends overall from the mid-thickness of the wall of the housing bottom 32 to its end 76 external to the housing bottom 32. The third section 74, in continuity with the second section 72, comprises a third diameter D3 as much greater than the second diameter D2 as the first diameter Dl.
The set of electrical terminals 38 includes an upper part formed by electrical contacts 76 inserted in the second printed circuit board 40; and a second cylindrical part, forming the base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38. More specifically, the electrical contacts 76 are forcibly inserted into the second printed circuit board 40 thus allowing electrical contact between the connector 34 and the second printed circuit board 40.
The difference between the first diameter Dl and the second diameter D2 allows the junction between the first section 70 and the second section 72 of the cavity 68 of the connector body 36 to form a cylindrical step or edge 80 on which an upper edge 82 of the base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38 comes to bear. According to the embodiment shown, the upper edge 82 of the base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38 is arranged at the upper end of the base 78.
The diameter D2 of the second section 72 is also adjusted so that the part of the base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38 in continuity with the upper edge 82 of the base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38 comes s 'insert friction against the inner wall of the second section 72 so as not to be able to pivot laterally.
The base 78 of the set of electrical terminals 38 finally comprises a lower end arranged in the third cavity 74 so as to allow the electrical coupling of the set of electrical terminals 38 with a complementary electrical terminal inserted in the third cavity 74.
According to FIG. 4, the internal face 84 of the bottom of the housing 32 also comprises a cylindrical wall 86 of rectangular base internal to the lower housing 14 and surrounding the electrical contacts 76 of the set of electrical terminals 38. The internal cylindrical wall 86 of the housing lower 14 is of height, along the vertical axis V, lower than the electrical contacts 76 intended to be inserted in the second printed circuit card 40, so as to allow the second printed circuit card 40 to come to bear on the upper end 88 of the internal cylindrical wall 86 to the lower housing 14.
Maintaining the second printed circuit card 40 in the bottom of the housing 32 is therefore made possible by assembling the electrical contacts 76 in the second printed circuit card 40, by the arrangement of the base 78 of the assembly of electrical terminals 38 in the cavity 68 of the connector body 36 and by the arrangement of the second printed circuit board 40 against the upper end 88 of the internal cylindrical wall 86 in the lower housing 14.
According to Figure 5, the upper housing 12 is shown closed at the lower end 24 of the base 22 by the first printed circuit board 26 via the first adhesive seal 28, thus forming a cavity 90 internal to the upper housing 12 More specifically, the internal cavity 90 at the base 22 of the upper housing 12 is the free space delimited by the cylindrical wall 48 of the base 22 and the first printed circuit board 26, while an internal space at the cylindrical base 22 is occupied by the lower section 59 of the tubular lens support 16 arranged inside the base 22.
A conduit 92 is arranged opening on the one hand on the internal face of the cylindrical wall 48 of the base 22, by an internal orifice 93, and on the other hand at the junction 94 between the external face of the cylindrical wall 48 of the base 22 and the lower surface of the rim 46 of the base 22, by an external orifice 95, so as to allow the evacuation towards the outside of the upper housing 12 the compressed air in the cavity 90 during the assembly of the upper housing 12 with the first printed circuit board 26.
Indeed, during the assembly process of the first printed circuit board 26 with the lower end 24 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12, the air is compressed in the cavity 90. The volume of air increases in particular when the first adhesive seal 28 is heated to ensure its adhesion between the first printed circuit board 26 and the base 22 of the upper housing 12. The increase in the volume of air, or also its compression in the cavity 90 can cause displacement of the lenses of the lens holder 16 and therefore corrupt the initial alignment of the lenses with the electronic image capture circuit 30.
The conduit 92 therefore eliminates the risk of misalignment between the lenses and the electronic image capture circuit 30.
Optionally, the first adhesive seal 24 can be produced by depositing adhesive on the underside of the lower end 24 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 or by depositing adhesive around the periphery of the first circuit board. printed 26.
It should be noted that according to FIG. 6, during assembly of the upper housing 12 with the lower housing 14, the external orifice 95 of the conduit 92, opening onto the junction 94 between the external face of the cylindrical wall 48 of the base 22 and the lower surface of the rim 46 of the base 22, is blocked by the second adhesive seal 44, making the internal cavity 90 of the upper housing 12 hermetic.
In order to easily arrange the external orifice 95 of the conduit 92, the conduit 92 is hollowed out obliquely downward relative to the optical axis O from the internal orifice 93 to the external orifice 95.
According to Figure 7 and Figure 8, the first printed circuit board 26 is shown before the complete assembly of the optical device 10, that is to say before the assembly of the upper housing 12, the lower end 24 of the base 22 is closed by the first printed circuit board 26, with the lower housing 14. The upper housing 12 and the lower housing 14 are made of conductive metal. The first printed circuit board 26 comprises a rigid part equipped with the electronic image capture circuit 30 and two flexible parts 98 arranged on either side of the rigid part 96. This type of printed circuit is commonly called printed circuit flex-rigid. The flexible part 98 generally comprises a substrate thinned with respect to the substrate of the rigid part 96. Generally the flexible part 98 comprises a plastic substrate on which are arranged conductive tracks. The rigid part 96 of the first printed circuit board is generally rectangular. Each flexible part 98 is arranged on a lateral edge 100 of the rigid part 96. More particularly the junction end with the rigid part 96 of each flexible part 98 is arranged in a notch 102 formed on each lateral edge 100 of the rigid part 96 of the first printed circuit board 26.
Each flexible part 98 comprises on its upper face 104 a first and a second electrical connection pad 106, 108 domed in a generally circular shape. Each flexible part 98 comprises on its underside 110 a third domed electrical connection stud 112 of generally circular shape. These three electrical connection pads 106, 108, 112 allow the first printed circuit board 26 to be electrically interfaced with other electrical elements of the device.
According to the embodiment shown in Figure 9, when assembling the upper housing 12 equipped with the first printed circuit board 26, with the lower housing 14, that is to say when inserting the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 in the lower housing 14, each flexible part 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 comes to bend gradually to the vertical so as to be compressed and pinched between the external surface 114 of the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 and the internal surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower housing 14.
In order to avoid damage to each flexible part 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 during this assembly step, the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14 comprises two inclined inclined edges 120 each forming a chamfer and oriented towards the internal surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower casing 14. Each inclined sloping edge 120 is arranged in the vertical alignment of each flexible part 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 so as, for example, to avoid shearing of each flexible part 98 during this assembly step.
According to Figure 10 and Figure 11, when the assembly of the upper housing 12 with the lower housing 14 is completed, each flexible part 98 is compressed and pinched between the outer surface 114 of the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the housing upper 12 and the inner surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower housing 14. Thus, the first and the second electrical connection pad 106, 108 of each flexible part 98 is in contact with the upper housing 12; the third electrical connection pad 112 of each flexible part 98 is in contact with the lower housing 14.
By way of example and without limitation, the internal surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower housing 12 is made of conductive metal, so that it has a planar electrical contact surface against which each third electrical connection pad 112 convex ensures an electrical connection of electrical ground.
According to the embodiment of FIG. 12 and of FIG. 13, each first domed electrical connection pad 106 of each flexible part 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 is arranged against an electrical contact surface 122 integrally formed with the upper housing 12 and arranged on the outer surface 114 of the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 so as to connect the upper housing 12 to the electrical ground of the electrical circuit comprising the first and second printed circuit boards 26, 40.
Each second domed electrical connection pad 108 of each flexible part 98 is arranged against an electrical contact surface 124 electrically isolated from the metal part of the upper housing 12 and arranged on the external surface 114 of the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the housing higher 12.
Each electrical contact surface 124 electrically isolated from the metal part forms an electrical contact area 126 of an electrically conductive trace 128 extending from the electrical contact area 126 to the free external end 60 of the lens holder 16 .
The external free end 60 of the lens holder 16 comprises a heating element 130 electrically powered by the electrically conductive traces 128 electrically connected to the first printed circuit board 26 by each second electrical connection pad 108 domed from each flexible part 98 coming from in contact with the electrical contact areas 126.
According to the embodiment shown in Figure 13 and modeled in Figure 14, the heating element 130 provided to defrost, if necessary, the protective glass 18 of the optical device 10, is an annular conductive trace arranged on the top of the external free end 60 of the lens support 16 so as to be in contact with the protective glass 18 of the optical device 10. The conductive traces 128 can for example, and without limitation, be made on an insulating layer previously deposited on the outer surface of the upper housing 12. The conductive traces 128 can be produced by spraying conductive material such as paint comprising conductive microparticles, or even by electroplating.
Alternatively, the heating element 130 can be any other device generating heat. For example, the annular trace arranged on the top of the second end of the lens support 16 can be replaced by a seal of conductive adhesive, allowing not only the maintenance of the protective glass, but also its heating by circulation of current in the glue joint through electrically conductive traces.
According to FIG. 14, the operating principle of the heating element 130 consists in circulating an electric current generated by the first printed circuit board 26 from the second electrical connection pad 108 convex from one of the flexible parts 98 of the first printed circuit board 26, through one of the conductive traces 128. The current generated continues its electrical path through the heating element 130 formed by the electrically conductive trace of annular shape arranged on the top of the tubular wall of the support of lens 16. The electric current ends its course towards the first printed circuit card through the other conductive trace 128 whose electrical contact area 126 is in electrical contact with the second electrical connection pad 108 curved on the other flexible part 98.
The invention is not limited to the use of the flexible parts 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 as an electrical connection device for an optical device 10. In fact, the use of a flex type printed circuit board rigid, of which the flexible part 98, fitted with at least one electrical connection pad 108, is inserted compressed between two walls in order to ensure an electrical connection from the flex-rigid printed circuit board to one or the other wall or towards the two walls, may be suitable for any other electronic member requiring such a connection.
According to FIG. 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, four steps for producing protective layers of the optical device 10 are shown.
As a reminder, the optical device 10 is designed to be mounted on the outside of a motor vehicle and therefore to undergo all the environmental constraints outside the vehicle.
According to Figure 15, the upper housing 12 is a housing comprising a metallic outer surface such as for example an aluminum alloy.
According to FIG. 16, the metallic exterior surface 132 of the upper housing 12 is entirely covered with a first electrically insulating layer 134. Only two flat electrical contact surfaces 136 (only one visible) or metallic contact zones are not covered with the first electrically insulating layer 134. These planar electrical contact surfaces 136 have come in one piece with the metal surface 132 of the upper housing 12. These contact zones are provided for connecting the upper housing 12 to the electrical ground of the electrical circuit formed by the first and second circuit boards. printed 26, 40 through the two flexible parts 98 of the first printed circuit board 26.
According to FIG. 17, the two electrically conductive traces (only one visible) 128 connected to the heating element 130 and the annular electrical trace, acting as heating element 130, arranged on top of the external free end 60 of the lens support 16, are produced over the first electrically insulating layer 134.
According to FIG. 18, a second electrically insulating layer 138, such as a varnish, entirely covers the electrically conductive traces 128 and as well as the first electrically insulating layer 134, with the exception of the electrical contact areas 126 of the electrically conductive traces 128 and with the exception of the two flat electrical contact surfaces 136.
An alternative is for the first layer 134 and the second electrically insulating layer 138 to completely cover the metallic exterior surface 132 of the upper housing 12, the electrically conductive traces 128 always being produced between the two electrically insulating layers 134, 138, and that then an operation of local removal of the electrically insulating layers 134, 138 carried out by means of a laser beam makes it possible to reveal the planar contact surfaces 136 of the metal case 132 and the electrical contact areas 126 of the electrically conductive traces 128.
According to Figure 19, a method of assembling the optical device 10 described through the invention and shown in Figure 20 may include the following steps in particular.
A step consists in inserting into the bottom of the housing 32 the second printed circuit card 40 previously equipped with the set of electrical terminals 38 whose electrical contacts 76 have been forcibly inserted into the second printed circuit card 40. During this step , the body of the connector 36 serves as an insertion guide for the second printed circuit card 40 until the second printed circuit card 40 abuts on the internal cylindrical wall 86 of the lower housing 14.
Another step then consists in placing the second adhesive seal 44 on the upper surface of the upper end 56 of the lower housing 14.
Then, another step consists in inserting the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 in the lower housing 14 until the cylindrical rim 46 abuts against the second adhesive seal 44. It should be noted that the first printed circuit board 26 has been previously assembled on the lower end of the upper housing 12 so that the flexible parts 98 of the first printed circuit board 26 will bend and fit between the outer surface 114 of the lower portion 52 of the base 22 of the upper housing 12 and the internal surface 118 of the cylindrical wall 116 of the lower housing 14 during assembly.
