An imaging apparatus includes a flow path including a flow direction diverter that changes the direction of air flow, a heat dissipation member including first fins, second fins, and third fins disposed in the flow path, and an object to be cooled connected to the heat dissipation member. The first fins are pin-shaped fins disposed in the flow direction diverter in the flow path, the second fins are plate-shaped fins disposed in a section of the flow path downstream of the flow direction diverter, and the third fins are plate-shaped fins disposed in a section of the flow path upstream of the flow direction diverter.

Imaging apparatus

The imaging apparatus includes a first object to be cooled, a second object to be cooled, and a heat dissipation member including a first connection part connected to the first object to be cooled, a second connection part connected to the second object to be cooled, and a first fin. The first connection part is provided at a position closer to the first fin than the second connection part. The heat dissipation member includes a cutout in a portion between the second connection part and the first fin.

Imaging apparatus with heat dissipation member having high cooling efficiency

An imaging device includes a housing, an imaging module disposed in the housing and including an imaging element, and a heat conductive sheet including a first end portion in contact with the imaging module and a second end portion in contact with an inner surface of the housing. An intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the heat conductive sheet is curved outward convexly and is in contact with a portion of the inner surface of the housing.

Imaging device

An imaging apparatus includes: a duct; a fan that generates a flow of air in the duct; first, second, and third cooling targets; a first heat sink that absorbs heat of the first cooling target and includes first fins exposed in the duct; a second heat sink that absorbs heat of the second cooling target and includes second fins exposed in the duct; and a third heat sink that absorbs heat of the third cooling target and includes third fins exposed in the duct. The first, second and third fins extend in different directions from one another, as viewed in a direction of the flow of air in the duct, as far as each of the fins gets close to another fin with a predetermined distance apart.

An imaging apparatus includes: a lens attachment portion to which a lens is attached; an image sensor on which light transmitted through a lens attached to the lens attachment portion is incident; a heat transfer members configured to support the image sensor and to absorb heat of the image sensor; a main frame including a duct in which outside air flows and provided with a through hole through which a part of the heat transfer member passes; a fan arranged in the duct; a front frames configured to support the lens attachment portion and the heat transfer members and to be attached to the main frame; and a seal member configured to block a flow of outside air from inside the duct toward the image sensor through the through hole.

An eyecup of an eyecup mounting mechanism includes an eye rubber, a fixing member that holds the eye rubber in a predetermined position, a movable member held movably by the fixing member, and an elastic member that presses the movable member against the fixing member to fix the movable member to the fixing member, and wherein a mounting member provided in the camera body is fitted between the fixing member and the movable member against a pressing force of the elastic member, and the mounting member is sandwiched by the fixing member and the movable member, for the purpose of providing a highly reliable eyecup mounting mechanism and an optical apparatus including the eyecup mounting mechanism.

Eyecup mounting mechanism and optical apparatus including eyecup mounting mechanism

An electronic device includes an electronic member, a plate having a fastening part, the fastening part having a tubular shape and projecting outward with respect to the electronic member when the plate is arranged outside the electronic member, a case having a hole whose diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the fastening part, the fastening part being inserted into the hole, and a fastening member attached to the fastening part from outside of the case with the fastening part inserted into the hole. A part of the electronic member is located on the axis of the fastening part.
