PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a water droplet removal device for an on-vehicle imaging apparatus, capable of reliably removing water droplets attached to an imaging apparatus mounted on an outside of a vehicle.SOLUTION: A water droplet removal device for an on-vehicle imaging apparatus includes: a camera 20 attached to an outside of a vehicle; a cover 30 arranged at a position where a transmission part 31 for transmitting light is opposed to a lens 22 of the camera 20; at least three actuators 40 arranged in the camera 20, connected to a circumference of the transmission part 31, and extended/contracted in a direction of a light axis L; and a control section capable of extracting/contracting the actuators 40. The actuators 40 are arranged along a virtual loop shape line surrounding the transmission part 31. The control section extends/contracts the actuators 40 in order along the loop shape line.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
【課題】車両外に搭載された撮像装置に付着した雨滴をより確実に除去することができる車載撮像装置の水滴除去装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両の外部に取り付けられるカメラ20と、光を透過する透過部31がカメラ20のレンズ22に対向する位置に設けられたカバー30と、カメラ20に設けられ、透過部31の周囲に連結して光軸L方向に伸縮する少なくとも3つのアクチュエーター40と、アクチュエーター40を伸縮させることが可能な制御部とを備え、アクチュエーター40は、透過部31を囲う仮想的な環状線に沿って配置され、制御部は、環状線に沿う順序でアクチュエーター40を伸縮させる。【選択図】図6
