IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF COOLING IMAGE SENSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18192038 Titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF COOLING IMAGE SENSOR'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image capturing device that has a feature called image stabilization, which helps to reduce blurriness in photos by moving the image sensor. The device also has a cooling system to prevent the image sensor from overheating. The cooling system consists of two ducts, one of which is movable, and a cooling fan that brings in outside air to cool the image sensor. The image sensor is mounted on a board that is held on the movable duct.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image capturing apparatus equipped with a function of performing image stabilization by moving an image capturing section (image sensor) and capable of effectively cooling the image sensor without increasing the size of the apparatus. The apparatus includes an image sensor board on which the image sensor is mounted, an image stabilization mechanism for performing image stabilization by moving the image sensor board, a first duct having an air flow passage and movable, a second duct having an air flow passage and fixedly disposed and connected to the first duct, and a cooling fan for causing outside air to flow through the first duct and the second duct. The image sensor board is held on the first duct.
