  • Patent number: 11800208
    Abstract: An image sensor converts an optical image formed by an imaging optical system to video signals. A heat dissipation section discharges heat generated in an image sensor to the outside. The imaging optical system, the image sensor, the heat dissipation section, and a battery chamber are arranged on an extension line of an axis of the system in the mentioned order. The battery chamber has an upper surface tilted forward in a direction in which the image sensor is disposed with respect to the axis by a predetermined angle. A projected shadow of a portion, close to the heat dissipation section, of an upper end portion of the battery chamber, which is projected from an upper surface side of the image capturing apparatus, overlaps the heat dissipation section.

  • Patent number: 11076072
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus improved in heat dissipation efficiency while avoiding increase in size. A rotary fan is rotated to draw air from a suction port and discharge air from a discharge port. A heat dissipation duct includes an intake opening, a discharge opening, intake-side fins, an intake-side duct portion, and an exhaust-side duct portion. Projected shadows of at least part of the intake-side fins and at least part of the rotary fan overlap each other, as viewed from a direction of a rotational axis of the rotary fan. Ends of the intake-side fins toward the intake opening and the exhaust opening are closer thereto than ends of the rotary fan toward the same, respectively. The intake opening and the suction port of the rotary fan communicate with each other via a space adjacent to the end of the intake-side fins toward the discharge opening.
