Sensor assembly
An assembly includes a base having an inlet and an outlet. The assembly includes a deflector supported by the base rearward of the inlet. The assembly includes a sensor supported by the base and in fluid communication with the outlet. The base defines a channel extending between a first end and a second end, the inlet at the first end and the deflector at the second end. The outlet is forward of the deflector and outside the channel.
1. An assembly, comprising:
a base having an inlet and an outlet;
a deflector supported by the base rearward of the inlet, the deflector removable from the base;
a sensor supported by the base and in fluid communication with the outlet;
the base defining a channel extending between a first end and a second end, the inlet at the first end and the deflector at the second end; and
the outlet forward of the deflector and outside the channel.
2. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the base includes an exhaust at the second end of the channel.
3. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a housing supported by the base and having a vent in fluid communication with the outlet.
4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the sensor is between the outlet and the vent.
5. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the housing includes an outer shell and a support ring inside the outer shell, the sensor supported by the support ring.
6. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the vent faces the sensor.
7. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a blower supported by the base and in fluid communication with the outlet.
8. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a seal extending about a perimeter of the base.
9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the base includes a leg, the channel defined by the leg.
10. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a housing supported by the base, the housing having a bottom extending beyond a top of the base.
11. The assembly of claim 10 , wherein the bottom of the housing defines a drain hole spaced from the base.
12. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the base defines a chamber having a rear opening, the outlet in the chamber.
13. A vehicle, comprising:
a body panel;
a base supported by the body panel having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet facing a vehicle-forward direction;
a deflector supported by the base rearward of the inlet;
a sensor supported by the base and in fluid communication with the outlet;
the base and the body panel of the vehicle defining a channel extending from the inlet to the deflector; and
the outlet forward of the deflector and outside the channel.
14. The vehicle of claim 13 , further comprising a seal abutting the body panel and defining the channel.
15. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the base includes an exhaust at a rear of the base.
16. The vehicle of claim 15 , wherein the exhaust is defined by the body panel and the base.
17. The vehicle of claim 13 , further comprising a housing supported by the base and having a vent in fluid communication with the outlet, the vent facing away from the vehicle-forward direction.
18. The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the inlet is spaced from the body panel.
