基板10は、例えばPCB基板であり、主面10aおよび裏面10bを有する。主面10aにはプロジェクタ20の発光及びイメージセンサモジュール30の撮像を制御するプロセッサPが配置されている。裏面10bは、第3保持体60側を向く面であり、プロジェクタ20及びイメージセンサモジュール30を動作させるために必要な駆動素子が実装されている。駆動素子は、ドライバIC(U1~U6)や抵抗体(R4~R8: 図2中 破線で囲んで示す)を含んでいる。

図3は第1保持体40に収容されたプロジェクタ20の構成を示す断面模式図である。
プロジェクタ20は、図3に示すように、複数の発光素子からなるアレイ光源であるVCSEL(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting LASER)21と、VCSEL21の上側でレーザ光の配光制御を行う透過型の回折光学素子(DOE)22と、VCSEL21及び回折光学素子(DOE)22を収容するケース体23から構成されている。 FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the configuration of theprojector 20 housed in the first holder 40. As shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, theprojector 20 includes a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting LASER) 21, which is an array light source consisting of a plurality of light emitting elements, and a transmissive diffractive optical element that controls the distribution of laser light above the VCSEL 21. (DOE) 22, and a case body 23 that accommodates the VCSEL 21 and the diffractive optical element (DOE) 22.
プロジェクタ20は、図3に示すように、複数の発光素子からなるアレイ光源であるVCSEL(Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting LASER)21と、VCSEL21の上側でレーザ光の配光制御を行う透過型の回折光学素子(DOE)22と、VCSEL21及び回折光学素子(DOE)22を収容するケース体23から構成されている。 FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the
As shown in FIG. 3, the
ケース体23は、上方に開口し、回折光学素子(DOE)22を支持している。ケース体23の底面23Aはセラミックス材料で構成され、上面23Aaに熱伝導性材料であり、熱伝導率が約400W/m・Kの銅板24aを介してVCSEL21が配置されている。ケース体23の底面23Aの下面23Abは熱伝導率が約400W/m・Kの銅板24a及び熱伝導率が10W/m・K以上の補強板24bを介して第2保持体50に熱的に接合されている。
The case body 23 is open upward and supports a diffractive optical element (DOE) 22. The bottom surface 23A of the case body 23 is made of a ceramic material, and the VCSEL 21 is disposed on the top surface 23Aa via a copper plate 24a, which is a thermally conductive material and has a thermal conductivity of about 400 W/m·K. The lower surface 23Ab of the bottom surface 23A of the case body 23 is thermally connected to the second holder 50 via a copper plate 24a having a thermal conductivity of approximately 400 W/m·K and a reinforcing plate 24b having a thermal conductivity of 10 W/m·K or more. It is joined.
ケース体23は、底面23Aを除いて、金属よりも熱伝導性が低い液晶ポリマー(LCP)を材料として形成され、側面23Bが第1保持体40と接着剤を介して熱的に接合されている。これにより、低温環境における動作開始時にはVCSEL21の蓄熱を促進し、発光波長の変化を抑制することが可能となっている。そして、VCSEL21が発熱した場合は、第1保持体40へ熱伝導して蓄熱を抑制することで発光波長の変化を抑制している。
The case body 23 is made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), which has lower thermal conductivity than metal, except for the bottom surface 23A, and the side surface 23B is thermally bonded to the first holding body 40 via an adhesive. There is. This makes it possible to promote heat storage in the VCSEL 21 and suppress changes in the emission wavelength at the start of operation in a low-temperature environment. When the VCSEL 21 generates heat, the heat is conducted to the first holding body 40 to suppress heat accumulation, thereby suppressing a change in the emission wavelength.
接着剤としては、高熱伝導接着剤が好ましく、エポキシ樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、シリコーン樹脂、アクリル樹脂、フェノール樹脂、ビスマレイミドトリアジン樹脂、または、各種エンジニアリングプラスチック等をベースとし銀粉、カーボン、銅、アルミニウム、鉄、セラミック等、熱伝導率の大きい材料の粉末や繊維を混入したものを使用できる。高熱伝導接着剤は、熱伝導率が高いほど好ましく、具体的には、1W/m・K以上であることが好ましい。これにより、ケース体23の側面23Bから第1保持体40への熱伝導をより高めることが可能となる。
The adhesive is preferably a high heat conductive adhesive, such as epoxy resin, polyimide resin, silicone resin, acrylic resin, phenol resin, bismaleimide triazine resin, or various engineering plastics, and is based on silver powder, carbon, copper, aluminum, or iron. It is possible to use powders or fibers of materials with high thermal conductivity, such as ceramics. The higher the thermal conductivity of the high thermal conductive adhesive, the more preferable it is, and specifically, it is preferable that it is 1 W/m·K or more. Thereby, it becomes possible to further enhance heat conduction from the side surface 23B of the case body 23 to the first holding body 40.
セラミックス材料は、液晶ポリマー(LCP)に比べて熱伝導率が高く、発熱体の一つであるVCSEL21は、ケース体23の底面23Aが熱伝導性材料である補強板24bを介して第2保持体50と熱的に接合されることで、発生する熱は第2保持体50側へ熱伝導される。
Ceramic materials have higher thermal conductivity than liquid crystal polymers (LCP), and the VCSEL 21, which is one of the heating elements, is held in a second position by the bottom surface 23A of the case body 23 via the reinforcing plate 24b, which is a thermally conductive material. By being thermally joined to the body 50, the generated heat is conducted to the second holding body 50 side.
イメージセンサモジュール30(図1に示す)には、光電変換素子としてCMOS(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor)イメージセンサが用いられている。

図4(a)は第1保持体40を示す平面図、(b)は縦断面図、(c)はプロジェクタ20及びイメージセンサモジュール30を収容した第1保持体40と第2保持体50の単純接触を示す縦断面模式図である。
第1保持体40は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、プロジェクタ20及びイメージセンサモジュール30を収容して保持している。第1保持体40には下面40bから上面40aに貫通する貫通孔41が形成され、プロジェクタ20が収容されている。 FIG. 4(a) is a plan view showing thefirst holder 40, FIG. 4(b) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic vertical cross-sectional view showing simple contact.
Thefirst holder 40 is made of a thermally conductive resin having a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more, and accommodates and holds the projector 20 and the image sensor module 30. A through hole 41 penetrating from the lower surface 40b to the upper surface 40a is formed in the first holder 40, and the projector 20 is housed in the through hole 41.
第1保持体40は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、プロジェクタ20及びイメージセンサモジュール30を収容して保持している。第1保持体40には下面40bから上面40aに貫通する貫通孔41が形成され、プロジェクタ20が収容されている。 FIG. 4(a) is a plan view showing the
The
貫通孔41は、図4に示すように、内面に凸部41aを有し、貫通孔41に収容されるプロジェクタ20のケース体23の側面23Bと接触してプロジェクタ20を位置決めすると同時に熱的に接合している。具体的には、ケース体23は底面23Aを除いて、金属よりも熱伝導率が低い液晶ポリマー(LCP)を材料として形成され、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなる第1保持体40と接触している。
これにより、低温環境における動作初期においては、ケース体23から第1保持体40への熱伝導を抑制してプロジェクタ20の蓄熱を促進し、ケース体23が一定程度蓄熱した場合、第1保持体40に熱伝導することでプロジェクタ20の過熱を抑制することで、VCSEL21の発光波長の変動を小さくしている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the throughhole 41 has a convex portion 41a on the inner surface, and contacts the side surface 23B of the case body 23 of the projector 20 housed in the through hole 41 to position the projector 20 and at the same time thermally It is joined. Specifically, the case body 23, except for the bottom surface 23A, is made of liquid crystal polymer (LCP), which has a lower thermal conductivity than metal, and is made of a thermally conductive resin with a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more. It is in contact with the first holding body 40 .
As a result, in the initial stage of operation in a low-temperature environment, heat conduction from thecase body 23 to the first holder 40 is suppressed to promote heat storage in the projector 20, and when the case body 23 has accumulated heat to a certain extent, the first holder By suppressing overheating of the projector 20 by conducting heat to the VCSEL 40, fluctuations in the emission wavelength of the VCSEL 21 are reduced.
これにより、低温環境における動作初期においては、ケース体23から第1保持体40への熱伝導を抑制してプロジェクタ20の蓄熱を促進し、ケース体23が一定程度蓄熱した場合、第1保持体40に熱伝導することでプロジェクタ20の過熱を抑制することで、VCSEL21の発光波長の変動を小さくしている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the through
As a result, in the initial stage of operation in a low-temperature environment, heat conduction from the
貫通孔41に収容されたプロジェクタ20は、ケース体23の底面23A側が露出し、熱伝導性材料である補強板24bを介して(図3 参照)、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなる第2保持体50の第1面50aと接触することで熱的に接合している。
具体的には、ケース体23の底面23Aは、熱伝導率が約90W/m・Kのセラミック材料で形成され、熱伝導率が約400W/m・Kである銅板24a及び熱伝導率が約10W/m・K以上である補強板24bを介して熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の第2保持体50に熱伝導することで、VCSEL21の蓄熱を抑制することが可能となっている。 Theprojector 20 housed in the through-hole 41 is exposed on the bottom surface 23A side of the case body 23, and the projector 20 has a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more through the reinforcing plate 24b, which is a thermally conductive material (see FIG. 3). It is thermally bonded by contacting with the first surface 50a of the second holding body 50 made of a thermally conductive resin.
Specifically, thebottom surface 23A of the case body 23 is made of a ceramic material having a thermal conductivity of approximately 90 W/m·K, a copper plate 24a having a thermal conductivity of approximately 400 W/m·K, and a ceramic material having a thermal conductivity of approximately 400 W/m·K. It is possible to suppress heat accumulation in the VCSEL 21 by conducting heat to the second holding body 50 having a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more through the reinforcing plate 24b having a thermal conductivity of 10 W/m·K or more. .
具体的には、ケース体23の底面23Aは、熱伝導率が約90W/m・Kのセラミック材料で形成され、熱伝導率が約400W/m・Kである銅板24a及び熱伝導率が約10W/m・K以上である補強板24bを介して熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の第2保持体50に熱伝導することで、VCSEL21の蓄熱を抑制することが可能となっている。 The
Specifically, the
第1保持体40には下面40bから上面40aに貫通する貫通孔42が形成され、イメージセンサモジュール30が収容されている。イメージセンサモジュール30には、CMOSイメージセンサが用いられ、著しい発熱要素ではないことから、第1保持体40との熱的接合は特に考慮されていない。
A through hole 42 is formed in the first holder 40 and penetrates from the lower surface 40b to the upper surface 40a, and the image sensor module 30 is housed therein. Since the image sensor module 30 uses a CMOS image sensor and is not a significant heat generating element, thermal bonding with the first holder 40 is not particularly considered.
図5(a)は第1保持体40及び第2保持体50を示す平面図、(b)は第1保持体40と第2保持体50の単純接触を示す縦断面図である。
第2保持体50は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、第1面50aで第1保持体40と面接触して第1保持体40と熱的に接合されている。すなわち、第1保持体40及び第2保持体50は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、単純接触で互いに熱的に接合されている。
これにより、VCSEL21で発生する熱は、一部はケース体23の側面23Bから第1保持体40を介して第2保持体50に熱伝導され、一部はケース体23の底面23Aから直接第2保持体50に熱伝導される。尚、第1保持体40と第2保持体50は高熱伝導接着剤を介して接合してもよい。これにより、第1保持体40から第2保持体50への熱伝導効率を向上させることができる。 5(a) is a plan view showing thefirst holder 40 and the second holder 50, and FIG. 5(b) is a longitudinal sectional view showing simple contact between the first holder 40 and the second holder 50.
Thesecond holder 50 is made of a thermally conductive resin with a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more, and is thermally bonded to the first holder 40 by making surface contact with the first holder 40 at the first surface 50a. has been done. That is, the first holder 40 and the second holder 50 are made of a thermally conductive resin having a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more, and are thermally bonded to each other through simple contact.
As a result, part of the heat generated in theVCSEL 21 is conducted from the side surface 23B of the case body 23 to the second holder 50 via the first holder 40, and part of the heat is conducted directly from the bottom surface 23A of the case body 23 to the second holder 50. The heat is conducted to the second holder 50. Note that the first holder 40 and the second holder 50 may be bonded together using a high heat conductive adhesive. Thereby, the heat conduction efficiency from the first holder 40 to the second holder 50 can be improved.
第2保持体50は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、第1面50aで第1保持体40と面接触して第1保持体40と熱的に接合されている。すなわち、第1保持体40及び第2保持体50は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、単純接触で互いに熱的に接合されている。
これにより、VCSEL21で発生する熱は、一部はケース体23の側面23Bから第1保持体40を介して第2保持体50に熱伝導され、一部はケース体23の底面23Aから直接第2保持体50に熱伝導される。尚、第1保持体40と第2保持体50は高熱伝導接着剤を介して接合してもよい。これにより、第1保持体40から第2保持体50への熱伝導効率を向上させることができる。 5(a) is a plan view showing the
The
As a result, part of the heat generated in the
第2保持体50の第1面50aと反対側の第2面50bは基板10の裏面10bが第3保持体60側を向くようにして基板10を保持している。基板10の裏面10bには発熱抵抗素子である抵抗体(R4~R8)が実装され、抵抗体(R4~R8)は第3保持体60との空隙Gに面している。これにより、抵抗体(R4~R8)で発生する熱は空隙G内に放熱されるようになっている。また、抵抗体(R4~R8)で発生する熱は基板10の取り付け部を介して第2保持体50にも熱伝導される。
A second surface 50b of the second holder 50 opposite to the first surface 50a holds the substrate 10 such that the back surface 10b of the substrate 10 faces the third holder 60 side. Resistors (R4 to R8), which are heating resistance elements, are mounted on the back surface 10b of the substrate 10, and the resistors (R4 to R8) face the gap G with the third holder 60. Thereby, the heat generated in the resistors (R4 to R8) is radiated into the gap G. Further, the heat generated in the resistors (R4 to R8) is also conducted to the second holder 50 via the attachment portion of the substrate 10.
図6(a)は第3保持体60の第1面60aを示す平面図、(b)は断面模式図、(c)は第3保持体60の第2面60bを示す底面図である。
第3保持体60は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、第2保持体50と空隙Gを有して第2保持体50を支持し第2保持体50と熱的に接合されている。
図6に示すように、第3保持体60の第1面60aにはスペーサとしてのボス体60Aが立設され、第2保持体50はボス体60Aで離隔して支持されている。すなわち、第2保持体50と第3保持体60はボス体60Aで熱的に接合され、第2保持体50から第3保持体60に熱伝導されるようになっている。 6(a) is a plan view showing thefirst surface 60a of the third holding body 60, FIG. 6(b) is a schematic cross-sectional view, and FIG. 6(c) is a bottom view showing the second surface 60b of the third holding body 60.
Thethird holder 60 is made of a thermally conductive resin having a thermal conductivity of 1 W/m·K or more, and supports the second holder 50 with a gap G between the second holder 50 and the second holder 50. is thermally bonded to.
As shown in FIG. 6, aboss body 60A serving as a spacer is erected on the first surface 60a of the third holding body 60, and the second holding body 50 is supported at a distance from the boss body 60A. That is, the second holder 50 and the third holder 60 are thermally joined by the boss body 60A, so that heat is conducted from the second holder 50 to the third holder 60.
第3保持体60は、熱伝導率が1W/m・K以上の熱伝導性樹脂からなり、第2保持体50と空隙Gを有して第2保持体50を支持し第2保持体50と熱的に接合されている。
図6に示すように、第3保持体60の第1面60aにはスペーサとしてのボス体60Aが立設され、第2保持体50はボス体60Aで離隔して支持されている。すなわち、第2保持体50と第3保持体60はボス体60Aで熱的に接合され、第2保持体50から第3保持体60に熱伝導されるようになっている。 6(a) is a plan view showing the
The
As shown in FIG. 6, a
第3保持体60の第1面60a及び第1面60aとは反対側の第2面60bには、図6に示すように、フィン形状60Bが形成されている。フィン形状60Bは短冊状に形成された放熱フィンであり、第3保持体60と周囲空気層との接触面積を増加させて第2保持体50から熱伝導する熱を外部に効率的に放熱することができる。
As shown in FIG. 6, a fin shape 60B is formed on the first surface 60a and the second surface 60b opposite to the first surface 60a of the third holding body 60. The fin shape 60B is a heat radiation fin formed in a strip shape, and increases the contact area between the third holding body 60 and the surrounding air layer to efficiently radiate heat conducted from the second holding body 50 to the outside. be able to.
第1保持体40、第2保持体50及び第3保持体60を形成する熱伝導性樹脂としては、例えば、粒子状又はフィラー状の炭素系材料からなる高熱伝導性材料を所定の基材樹脂、例えば、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)、ポリカーボネート(PC)、ポリアミド(PA)、ポリプロピレン(PP)、ポリフェニレンスルファイド(PPS)、アクリロニトリルブタジエンスチレン(ABS)、液晶ポリマー(LCP)、熱可塑性エラストマー(TPE)等の樹脂に混合した熱可塑性樹脂が挙げられる。これらの熱伝導性樹脂は、熱伝導率が概ね1W/m・Kないし10W/m・Kであるが、高熱伝導性材料の混合量を調整することで熱伝導率は概ね10W/m・Kないし30W/m・Kまで高くすることができ、センサモジュール1の蓄熱をより抑制することが可能となる。
As the thermally conductive resin forming the first holder 40, the second holder 50, and the third holder 60, for example, a highly thermally conductive material made of a carbon-based material in the form of particles or fillers is used as a predetermined base resin. , for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polycarbonate (PC), polyamide (PA), polypropylene (PP), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), liquid crystal polymer (LCP) , thermoplastic resin mixed with resin such as thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). These thermally conductive resins have a thermal conductivity of approximately 1 W/m・K to 10 W/m・K, but by adjusting the amount of high thermal conductive material mixed, the thermal conductivity can be increased to approximately 10 W/m・K. It can be increased up to 30 W/m·K, making it possible to further suppress heat accumulation in the sensor module 1.
(3)センサモジュールにおける熱伝導及び放熱
図7はセンサモジュール1における熱伝導と放熱を説明する模式図である。
センサモジュール1における最も大きな熱源はプロジェクタ20のアレイ光源であるVCSEL21であり、VCSEL21の発光を制御する基板10の抵抗体(R4~R8)も一定の発熱量を有する熱源となっている。 (3) Heat conduction and heat radiation in the sensor module FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating heat conduction and heat radiation in the sensor module 1.
The largest heat source in the sensor module 1 is theVCSEL 21, which is the array light source of the projector 20, and the resistors (R4 to R8) of the substrate 10 that control the light emission of the VCSEL 21 also serve as a heat source that generates a certain amount of heat.

The largest heat source in the sensor module 1 is the
VCSEL21はケース体23に収容され、ケース体23は側面23Bが第1保持体40と熱的に接合され、ケース体23の底面23Aが銅板24を介して直接第2保持体50と熱的に接合されている。第1保持体40と第2保持体50は単純接触で互いに熱的に接合されている。第2保持体50は第3保持体60とボス体61を介して熱的に接合されている。これにより、図7に矢印で示すように、熱源のVCSEL21から第1保持体40及び第2保持体50を経由して第3保持体60まで熱的に接合されている。第3保持体60は、第1面60a及び第2面60bにフィン形状60Bが形成され、周囲空気層との接触面積を増加させている。また、基板10は取り付け部を介して第2保持体50と熱的に接合され、基板10の抵抗体(R4~R8)で発生する熱の一部は第2保持体50に熱伝導する。
The VCSEL 21 is housed in a case body 23, the side surface 23B of the case body 23 is thermally connected to the first holder 40, and the bottom surface 23A of the case body 23 is directly thermally connected to the second holder 50 via the copper plate 24. It is joined. The first holder 40 and the second holder 50 are thermally bonded to each other through simple contact. The second holding body 50 is thermally joined to the third holding body 60 via a boss body 61. Thereby, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7, the heat source VCSEL 21 is thermally connected to the third holder 60 via the first holder 40 and the second holder 50. The third holder 60 has a fin shape 60B formed on the first surface 60a and the second surface 60b to increase the contact area with the surrounding air layer. Further, the substrate 10 is thermally connected to the second holder 50 via the attachment portion, and a portion of the heat generated in the resistors (R4 to R8) of the substrate 10 is thermally conducted to the second holder 50.
センサモジュール1の光の出射及び光が反射した反射光の受光側を上方とした場合、第1保持体40が上方側、第2保持体50は第1保持体40と面接触して第1保持体40を下方から支持し、第3保持体60は第2保持体50を下方からボス体60Aで空隙Gを有して下方から支持している。そして、平面視した場合、第1保持体40よりも第2保持体50が面積が広く、第2保持体50よりも第3保持体60が面積が広くなる構成となっている。これにより、第1保持体40から第2保持体50に熱伝導した熱を放熱しやすく、第2保持体50から第3保持体60に熱伝導した熱を第3保持体60の外表面側から放熱しやすくなっている。更に、第3保持体60の第1面60a及び第1面60aとは反対側の第2面60bには、短冊状に形成された放熱フィンが形成され、第3保持体60と周囲空気層との接触面積を増加させて効率的に放熱することができる。
When the light emission side of the sensor module 1 and the light reception side of the reflected light are set upward, the first holding body 40 is on the upper side, and the second holding body 50 is in surface contact with the first holding body 40 and is on the first side. The holding body 40 is supported from below, and the third holding body 60 supports the second holding body 50 from below with a boss body 60A having a gap G therebetween. When viewed in plan, the second holder 50 has a larger area than the first holder 40, and the third holder 60 has a larger area than the second holder 50. As a result, the heat conducted from the first holder 40 to the second holder 50 can be easily radiated, and the heat transferred from the second holder 50 to the third holder 60 can be transferred to the outer surface of the third holder 60. It is easier to dissipate heat from the Further, on the first surface 60a of the third holder 60 and the second surface 60b opposite to the first surface 60a, radiation fins formed in a strip shape are formed, and the third holder 60 and the surrounding air layer are formed. It is possible to efficiently dissipate heat by increasing the contact area with the
このように、センサモジュール1は、熱源のVCSEL21から第1保持体40及び第2保持体50を経由して第3保持体60まで熱的に接合され、低温環境における動作初期においては、ケース体23から第1保持体40への熱伝導を抑制してプロジェクタ20の蓄熱を促進し、ケース体23が一定程度蓄熱した場合、第1保持体40及び第2保持体50を経由して第3保持体60に熱伝導することでプロジェクタ20の過熱を抑制することで、発光波長の変動を小さくしている。
In this way, the sensor module 1 is thermally connected from the heat source VCSEL 21 to the third holder 60 via the first holder 40 and the second holder 50, and in the initial stage of operation in a low-temperature environment, the case body 23 to the first holder 40 to promote heat storage in the projector 20, and when the case body 23 accumulates a certain amount of heat, the third holder passes through the first holder 40 and the second holder 50. By suppressing overheating of the projector 20 by conducting heat to the holder 60, fluctuations in the emission wavelength are reduced.
