Holder for a movable sensor
View Patent ↗A mount for a movable sensor on a support structure is provided. The sensor is alignable with a sensor target. The mount includes at least two mutually spaced sensor-based bearings, at least two mutually spaced support-structure-based bearings, at least two longitudinally adjustable actuator units arranged between an associated sensor-based bearing and an associated support-structure-based bearing, and a center bearing that is configured to pivotably support the sensor on the support structure about a kinematic center point on at least two spatial axes.
1. A mount for a movable sensor on a support structure, which sensor is alignable with a sensor target on a support structure, comprising:
at least three mutually spaced sensor-based bearings;
at least three mutually spaced support-structure-based bearings;
at least three longitudinally adjustable actuator units configured between an associated sensor-based bearing and an associated support-structure-based bearing; and
a center bearing configured to pivotably support the movable sensor on the support structure about a kinematic center point on at least three spatial axes,
wherein the sensor-based bearings each have a kinematic bearing center point about which the respective bearing allows a pivot motion on three spatial axes,
wherein the sensor-based bearings are spherical-joint-type bearings,
wherein the kinematic bearing center points of the sensor-based bearings are located in a common plane, and
wherein the kinematic pivot point of the center bearing is located in the plane of the kinematic center points of the sensor-based bearings.
2. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor includes a transmitting antenna or receiving antenna.
3. The mount according to claim 1 , wherein the sensor includes a radar antenna.
