Method for manufacturing a camera for a motor vehicle in dependency on an interface device, camera, as well as motor vehicle
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a camera ( 4 ) for a motor vehicle ( 1 ), in which an interface device ( 14 ) for connecting the camera ( 4 ) with a data bus of the motor vehicle ( 1 ) is selected from at least two different interface devices ( 14 ) and is arranged on a circuit board ( 13 ), the circuit board ( 13 ) is arranged in an interior space ( 12 ) of a front housing ( 10 ), a rear housing ( 15 ) is manufactured and connected with the front housing ( 10 ), wherein the rear housing ( 15 ) has a through-opening ( 16 ), through which the interface device ( 15 ) is passed partly, wherein in manufacture of the rear housing ( 15 ) the through-opening ( 16 ) is formed in dependency on the selected interface device ( 14 ), wherein an outer contour of the rear housing ( 15 ) is maintained.
1. A method for manufacturing a camera for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
selecting an interface device from at least two different interface devices to obtain a selected interface device;
connecting the camera with a data bus of the motor vehicle in the selected interface device;
connecting the selected interface device to a circuit board, wherein the circuit board is arranged in an interior space of a front housing of the camera; and
manufacturing a rear housing of the camera and connecting the rear housing with the front housing of the camera,
wherein the rear housing has a through-opening, through which the interface device is passed partly, and
wherein in manufacture of the rear housing the through-opening is formed based on the selected interface device while an outer contour of the rear housing is maintained and a recess for a separate plug housing is formed.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the rear housing is manufactured by a die-casting method and a tool for the die-casting method is adapted based on the selected interface device.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein for adapting the tool an insert element of the tool is changed.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the manufacture of the rear housing the through-opening is formed based on dimensions of the selected interface device and/or an arrangement of the selected interface device on the circuit board.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plug housing is provided, which has an elevation corresponding to the recess.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein between the rear housing and the plug housing a sealing element is arranged.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein between the rear housing and the plug housing a sealing element is arranged.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the manufacture of the rear housing at least one bore is formed, wherein, when connecting the rear housing with the front housing, a connection element is passed through the bore.
9. A camera for a motor vehicle, the camera comprising:
an interface device for connecting the camera with a data bus of the motor vehicle, wherein the interface device is selected from at least two different interface devices;
a circuit board, to which the selected interface device is connected;
a front housing, in an interior of which the circuit board is arranged; and
a rear housing, which is connected with the front housing,
wherein the rear housing has a through-opening, through which the interface device is partly passed,
wherein in the rear housing the through-opening is formed based on the selected interface device,
wherein an outer contour of the rear housing is maintained in manufacture and the rear housing comprises a recess for a plug housing.
10. A motor vehicle comprising at least one camera according to claim 8 mounted to an exterior of the motor vehicle.
