Abstract

A sensor arrangement, including a detection unit and a carrier element for attaching the detection unit at a motor cover, The detection unit, on a side facing the motor cover, including electronic components which are accommodated in a receptacle of the carrier element. A motor including a motor cover and a corresponding sensor arrangement are also described.

Claims (18)

1. A sensor arrangement, comprising:

a detection unit; and

a carrier component configured to attach the detection unit at a motor cover, the detection unit, on a side facing the motor cover, including electronic components, which are accommodated in a receptacle of the carrier element, wherein:

the receptacle is in the form of a continuous opening in the carrier component, which is at least partially covered by a circuit board of the detection unit, and is coverable by the motor cover, and

a lateral further opening is provided at the carrier component between the detection unit and the carrier component, through which an electrical connection for contacting the electronic components with a connecting plate may be fed, the further opening being dimensioned in such a way that the electrical connection is fed through the further opening in a form-fit manner.

2. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the carrier element is attachable at the motor cover, the detection unit, which is held by the carrier element, thereby being indirectly attachable at the motor cover.

3. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the receptacle is a pocket-shaped opening in the carrier component, the opening being at least partially covered by a circuit board of the detection unit.

4. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lateral opening is directly connected to the receptacle.

5. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the connecting plate is attachable at the motor cover, the carrier element being attachable on a first plane of the motor cover, and the connecting plate being attachable on a second plane of the motor cover, a difference in height between the first and second planes being compensatable by the electrical connection.

6. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 5 , wherein the electrical connection is a ribbon cable.

7. The sensor arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the detection unit is annular, and the receptacle extends radially partially along a circumference of the detection unit.

8. A motor, comprising:

a motor cover; and

a sensor arrangement including:

a detection unit, and

a carrier component configured to attach the detection unit at the motor cover, the detection unit, on a side facing the motor cover, including electronic components, which are accommodated in a receptacle of the carrier element, wherein:

the receptacle is in the form of a continuous opening in the carrier component, which is at least partially covered by a circuit board of the detection unit, and is coverable by the motor cover, and

a lateral further opening is provided at the carrier component between the detection unit and the carrier component, through which an electrical connection for contacting the electronic components with a connecting plate may be fed, the further opening being dimensioned in such a way that the electrical connection is fed through the further opening in a form-fit manner.
