==IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY DISCHARGING HEAT FROM HEAT GENERATING DEVICES AND REDUCED IN SIZE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18057587 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF EFFICIENTLY DISCHARGING HEAT FROM HEAT GENERATING DEVICES AND REDUCED IN SIZE

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes an image capturing apparatus that combines efficient heat dissipation and size reduction. Here are the key points:

* The apparatus includes an imaging board with an image sensor, a main circuit board with heat generating devices, a duct unit, and a cooling fan.
* The main circuit board is arranged parallel to the imaging surface of the image sensor on the rear side of the imaging board.
* The duct unit is located behind the main circuit board and consists of a duct base and a duct plate.
* The cooling fan draws outside air into the duct unit to dissipate heat.
* The duct base is parallel to the main circuit board, while the duct plate is angled at a predetermined angle.
* The cooling fan is mounted on the duct plate.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Digital cameras: The image capturing apparatus can be used in digital cameras to improve heat dissipation and reduce the size of the camera body.
* Surveillance systems: The apparatus can be integrated into surveillance cameras to enhance heat dissipation and minimize the overall size of the camera.
* Mobile devices: This technology can be applied to smartphones or tablets with built-in cameras to improve heat management and reduce the device's size.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Heat dissipation: The apparatus efficiently dissipates heat generated by the main circuit board and heat generating devices, preventing overheating and potential damage to the components.
* Size reduction: By arranging the main circuit board parallel to the image sensor and using a compact duct unit, the overall size of the image capturing apparatus is reduced, making it more portable and convenient for users.

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved performance: Efficient heat dissipation ensures that the image capturing apparatus operates at optimal conditions, resulting in better image quality and overall performance.
* Compact design: The size reduction of the apparatus makes it more portable and easier to handle, allowing users to carry it around conveniently.
* Enhanced durability: By effectively dissipating heat, the components of the apparatus are protected from potential damage caused by overheating, increasing its lifespan.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An image capturing apparatus that realizes both of efficient heat dissipation and size reduction of an image capturing apparatus body. The image capturing apparatus includes an imaging board having an image sensor mounted thereon, a main circuit board that has heat generating devices mounted thereon and is arranged substantially in parallel to an imaging surface of the image sensor on a rear side of the imaging board, a duct unit disposed on a rear side of the main circuit board, and a cooling fan that draws outside air into the duct unit. The duct unit has a duct base opposed to the main circuit board and disposed substantially in parallel to the main circuit board, and a duct plate disposed obliquely to the duct base at a predetermined angle. The cooling fan is mounted on the duct plate.
