Abstract

A mounting base for sensor is provided. The mounting base comprises: a body having a top surface; a mounting portion located on the top surface of the body, the mounting portion is configured for mounting a sensor; and at least one airflow generating component, the airflow generating component is configured for forming at least one airflow on a side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion.

Claims (25)

1. A mounting base for sensor, comprising:

a body having a top surface;

a mounting portion located on the top surface of the body, wherein the mounting portion is configured for mounting a sensor; and

at least one airflow generating component, the airflow generating component being configured for forming at least one airflow on a side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion;

wherein the airflow generating component is an air duct, the air duct has an inlet positioned on a front face of the body and an outlet positioned on a top face of the body.

2. The mounting base of claim 1 , wherein a distance along a first direction between an outlet of the airflow generating component and the sensor mounted on the mounting portion is from 0.05 meter to 0.18 meter, and a distance along a second direction between the outlet of the airflow generating component and the sensor mounted on the mounting portion is from 0.05 meter to 0.25 meter.

3. The mounting base of claim 1 , wherein the outlet of the air duct is smaller than the inlet of the air duct.

4. The mounting base of claim 1 , wherein the mounting base has a temperature adjusting device configured for adjusting the temperature of an airflow passing through the air duct.

5. The mounting base of claim 1 , wherein the mounting base comprises a fin, and the fin is positioned in front of the mounting portion, so as to guide an airflow towards the fin flowing on at least one side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion.

6. The mounting base of claim 1 , wherein the mounting base comprises an airflow generator, the airflow generator is configured for forming at least one airflow on a side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion.

7. The mounting base of claim 6 , wherein the airflow generator is positioned within the air duct and is configured for improving a flow speed of an airflow passing through the air duct.

8. A sensor assembly, comprising:

a sensor; and

a mounting base, wherein the mounting base comprises:

a body having a top surface;

a mounting portion located on the top surface of the body, the mounting portion is configured for mounting a sensor; and

at least one airflow generating component, the airflow generating component is configured for forming at least one airflow on a side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion;

wherein the airflow generating component is an air duct, the air duct has an inlet positioned on a front face of the body and an outlet positioned on a top face of the body.

9. The sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein a distance along a first direction between an outlet of the airflow generating component and the sensor mounted on the mounting portion is from 0.05 meter to 0.18 meter, and a distance along a second direction between the outlet of the airflow generating component and the sensor mounted on the mounting portion is from 0.05 meter to 0.25 meter.

10. The sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein the outlet of the air duct is smaller than the inlet of the air duct.

11. The sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein the mounting base has a temperature adjusting device configured for adjusting the temperature of an airflow passing through the air duct.

12. The sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein the mounting base comprises a fin, and the fin is positioned in front of the mounting portion, so as to guide an airflow towards the fin flowing on at least one side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion.

13. The sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein the mounting base comprises an airflow generator, the airflow generator is configured for forming at least one airflow on a side of the sensor mounted on the mounting portion.

14. The sensor assembly of claim 13 , wherein the airflow generator is positioned within the air duct and is configured for improving a flow speed of an airflow passing through the air duct.

15. A vehicle comprising the sensor assembly of claim 8 , wherein the sensor assembly is mounted on the vehicle with the front face facing the same direction as the orientation of a head of the vehicle.
