Abstract
A sensor arrangement for a vehicle includes a sensor element and a connection cable at least partially encased with plastic by means of injection moulding in order to form a sensor housing. The sensor housing is connected to a fastening tab which comprises a base body having fastening means. The fastening tab includes an insertion sleeve which is connected to the base body and into which a sensor housing body of the sensor housing is inserted. The sensor housing and the insertion sleeve each comprise fixing means which are designed in such a manner that there are different angular positions for fixing the sensor housing and the fastening tab. The sensor housing and the fastening tab are fixed in one of the different angular positions with respect to one another.
Description
- The invention is based on a sensor arrangement for a vehicle of the generic type of
independent patent claim 1 and on a corresponding method for producing such a sensor arrangement of independent patent claim 7. - German Laid-Open Patent Application DE 10 2008 042 091 A1 describes a method for producing a magnetic field sensor and a corresponding magnetic field sensor, in particular for use as a rotational speed sensor and/or direction of rotation sensor for the rotation of the wheel or for the drive train of a motor vehicle. The described magnetic field sensor comprises an electrical assembly for sensing and evaluating magnetic field signals and a connecting cable, which are together encased in plastic in an injection molding process. At the same time, a fastening tab is integrally molded on, which fastening tab has a base body with a fastening bush. The described production method uses fabrication methods which are proven for the production of sensors with an axial cable outlet, and fabrication devices for producing sensors with a bent cable outlet, which devices have only to be combined with one assembly station in which the connecting cable is then also fully automatically bent and locked in the bent position by suitable means. A positioning means which is embodied as a latching contour and/or riveting contour is expediently provided for the locking process. The latching contour and/or riveting contour can be integrally injection molded onto the connecting cable and, after the bending of the cable into its predetermined angular position, said latching contour and/or riveting contour can be latched or riveted with a positioning means which is also embodied as a latching contour and/or a riveting contour on the fastening tab.
- In order to bend the cable into the predetermined angular position, the cable no longer has to be removed from the work piece carrier, since the type of connection permits immediate locking. As a result, the process times are reduced. Regardless of the desired angular position (radial or axial) of the cable relative to the sensor, this concept permits recourse to just one single fabrication line. However, in order to produce different positions of the fastening tab and different functional lengths, it is necessary to make changes to the injection molding molds of the rotational speed sensors. It is therefore possible, for example, for new mold inserts and/or adjustment of mold inserts to be necessary, as a result of which the molds become very complex and high-maintenance.
- The sensor arrangement according to the invention for a vehicle having the features of
independent claim 1 and a corresponding method for producing such a sensor having the features of independent claim 7 have the advantage that a sensor element and a connecting cable are at least partially encased with plastic by injection molding in order to form a sensor housing, and the sensor housing is subsequently connected to a fastening tab which comprises a base body with fastening means. The fastening tab can also be produced, for example, as a plastic injection molded part in a separate work step. According to the invention, the fastening tab comprises an insertion sleeve which is connected to the base body and into which a sensor housing body of the sensor housing is inserted, wherein the sensor housing and the insertion sleeve each comprise securing means which are embodied in such a way that various angular positions for securing the sensor housing and the fastening tab are present, wherein the sensor housing and the fastening tab are secured with respect to one another in one of the various angular positions. By means of the various angular positions it is possible to select the optimum angular position of the fastening tab in relation to the sensor housing with respect to the installation position in the vehicle. As a result, the shape of the sensor arrangement can be matched in an optimum way to the installation space in the vehicle. The sensor arrangement according to the invention is essentially produced by mounting the sensor housing in the fastening tab. Embodiments of the invention advantageously permit sensor arrangements whose fastening tabs and sensor housings can have different angular positions with respect to one another to be produced without changes being necessary to the injection molding molds. The various sensor arrangements are produced by means of the assembly process, wherein the flexibility of the angular position of the fastening tab with respect to the sensor housing is brought about, for example, by means of a plurality of latching possibilities. - As a result of the measures and developments specified in the dependent claims, advantageous improvements of the sensor arrangement for a vehicle, which is disclosed in
independent patent claim 1, and of the method for producing such a sensor arrangement, disclosed in independent patent claim 7, are possible. - It is particularly advantageous that a star contour is integrally formed onto the sensor housing body as a securing means, which star contour interacts with a corresponding star contour which is arranged on the insertion sleeve. The sensor housing is therefore inserted into the insertion sleeve of the fastening tab and the angular position of the fastening tab with respect to the sensor housing is advantageously secured by means of the star contour provided on both parts.
- In a refinement of the sensor arrangement according to the invention, the star contour of the sensor housing body is hot caulked with the corresponding star contour of the insertion sleeve. The hot caulking can advantageously ensure a desired functional dimension and a durable connection between the components.
- In a further refinement of the sensor arrangement according to the invention, positioning means, which are embodied as latching contours, are arranged on the connecting cable and on the fastening tab, for the purpose of locking the connecting cable which is bent into an angular position with respect to the sensor element and/or with respect to the fastening tab. For the purpose of locking, for example, a first latching contour is arranged as a sleeve-shaped contour on the connecting cable, and at least one second latching contour is embodied as a cut-out with integrally formed-on latching projections as part of the fastening tab. The latching contour is of relatively small design, with the result that the expenditure on material is reduced compared to the prior art. In order to bend the cable into the predetermined angular position, the cable no longer has to be removed from the work piece carrier after the caulking process since the method of connecting permits immediate securing. As a result, the process times are reduced. If a plurality of second latching contours are arranged on the fastening tab, the connecting cable can be bent over radially in various directions, of which directions a preferred bending direction is selected as a function of the installation space in the vehicle in order to permit optimum guidance of the connecting cable in the vehicle. After the locking of the position elements, the positioning means which are integrally formed onto the fastening tab absorb the axial tensile forces from the connecting cable.
- In a further refinement of the sensor arrangement according to the invention, a cap with at least one cut-out for the connecting cable is provided. In this context, the cap covers the bent region of the connecting cable and is fitted over the fastening tab and latched. In order to secure all the parts, the cap is pushed onto the fastening tab and latched. In this context, the radial forces from the connecting cable are not absorbed by the latched connection but rather by an encompassing geometry. The cap advantageously serves as a fastening element and as a heat protection for the bending point of the connecting cable.
- The positioning means for the connecting cable are advantageously integrally injection molded on at least partially to the connecting cable and/or to the sensor unit and/or to the fastening tab, with the result that loose positioning means and fastening means can be at least largely dispensed with. In particular, the positioning means are integrally injection molded onto the connecting cable and to the fastening tab of the sensor arrangement. The sensor element and/or an electronic assembly sense/senses a magnetic field to be monitored and evaluate/evaluates the sensor signals. This determines the orientation of the sensor element and the fastening tab as well as the routing of the connecting cable.

FIG. 1 illustrates a first exemplary embodiment of asensor arrangement 1 with asensor element 11 and/or an electrical assembly for detecting and evaluating measurement signals, in particular magnetic field signals, afastening tab 30, a connectingcable 16 andcap 40. Thesensor element 11 and the connectingcable 16 have been at least partially encased with plastic by injection molding in order to form asensor housing 10. Thesensor housing 10 is connected to thefastening tab 30 which comprises abase body 32 with afastening bush 38 which is arranged to the side of the cable outlet. In addition, thefastening tab 30 comprises aninsertion sleeve 34 which is connected to thebase body 32 and into which asensor housing body 12 of thesensor housing 10 is inserted. The sensor housing 10 and theinsertion sleeve 34 each comprise securing means 14, 15, 34.1, 34.2 which are described in detail with reference toFIGS. 2 to 5 . The securing means 14, 15, 34.1, 34.2 are embodied in such a way that various angular positions for securing thesensor housing 10 and thefastening tab 30 are present, wherein thesensor housing 10 and fasteningtab 30 are secured with respect to one another in one of the various angular positions. - As is apparent from
FIGS. 1 to 6 , a sleeve-like contour 22 is injection molded, as first positioning means 20, onto the connectingcable 16 near to thefastening tab 30, said positioning means 20 interacting withcorresponding positioning means 36 which are arranged on thefastening tab 30, in order to lock an angular position of thebent connecting cable 16 with respect to thesensor element 11 and/or with respect to thefastening tab 30. The positioning means 20, 36 are described in detail below with reference toFIGS. 2 to 5 . In particular a polyamide material is suitable as a plastic for the uniform encapsulation by injection molding in the region of thesensor element 11 and/or of the electrical assembly and of the connectingcable 16 as well as for producing thefastening tab 30 and for embedding thefastening bush 38. - As is apparent from
FIGS. 1 to 6 , afastening bush 38 is embedded in thefastening tab 30, through whichfastening bush 38, for example, a screw for fastening thesensor arrangement 1 can be led in order to fasten thesensor arrangement 1 at the installation location in the vehicle. In addition, thefastening tab 30 comprises aninsertion sleeve 34 which is integrally formed onto thebase body 32 during the injection process in the illustrated exemplary embodiment. In order to secure thesensor housing 10 and thefastening tab 30, a star contour 34.2 is provided at an upper end 34.1 of theinsertion sleeve 34, which star contour 34.2 interacts with afurther star contour 15 which is arranged at anupper end 14 of thesensor housing body 12. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, thestar contour 15 which is arranged at theupper end 14 of thesensor housing body 12 is embodied as a positive star contour with corresponding projections, and the star contour 36.2 which is arranged at the upper end 34.1 of theinsertion sleeve 34 is embodied as a negative star contour with corresponding cut-outs for receiving the projections of thepositive star contour 15. In accordance with the number of projections and corresponding cut-outs, various angular positions are present in which thesensor housing 10 or the sensor housing body can be inserted into theinsertion sleeve 34. In order to improve securing between thesensor housing body 12 and theinsertion sleeve 34, thestar contour 15 of thesensor housing body 12 can be hot caulked to the corresponding star contour 34.2 of theinsertion sleeve 34 in the desired angular position. - As is also apparent from
FIGS. 1 to 6 , second positioning means 36 in the form of an angular element are integrally formed on to thefastening tab 30, which angular element interacts with the first positioning means 20 which are embodied as a sleeve-like contour 22 and integrally injection molded onto the connectingcable 16 in order to lock an angular position of the bent connectingcable 16 with respect to thesensor element 11 and/or with respect to thefastening tab 30. As is also apparent fromFIG. 2 , the second positioning means 36, which are embodied as an angular element, comprise a first limb 36.1 and a second limb 36.3 which are in a predefined angular position with respect to one another. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, the two limbs 36.1 and 36.3 are essentially perpendicular to one another. The first limb 36.1 is embodied as a partial prolongation of theinsertion sleeve 34 and also has a star contour 36.2 in order to permit thesensor housing body 12 to be inserted into theinsertion sleeve 34. The second limb 36.3 has a depression (not noted in more detail) which is matched to anannular collar 24 which is integrally formed onto one side of the sleeve-shapedcontour 22. A furtherannular collar 26 is integrally formed onto the other end of the sleeve-shapedcontour 22. A latching contour with a cut-out 36.5, onto each of whose ends a latching projection 36.6 is integrally formed, is arranged at the end of the second limb 36.3. the cut-out 36.5 and the latching projections 36.6 and the first positioning means 20 which are integrally injection-molded onto the connectingcable 16 are also matched to one another, with the result that after the bending of the connectingcable 16 the latching projections 36.6 latch with the sleeve-shapedcontour 22 in order to lock thebent connecting cable 16 in the predefined angular position. The twoannular collars contour 22 limit the axial play of the connectingcable 16 and advantageously absorb the axial tensile forces. - In order to secure all the parts, the
cap 40 is pushed over the upper end 34.1 of theinsertion sleeve 34, and over the two lateral surfaces 36.4 of the second positioning means 36 which are embodied as an angular element. For this purpose, thecap 40 has a cut-out 42 which corresponds to the bend in the connecting cable and whose upper opening 42.1 is matched to the contour of theannular collar 24 and has a stop (not denoted in more detail) for theannular collar 24. The lower edge of the cut-out 42 is embodied as areinforcement bar 44 with which thecap 40 rests on the edge of theinsertion sleeve 34. A bearingsurface 48 and a latchingprojection 46 are integrally formed onto each end of thereinforcement bar 44 of thecap 40, which bearingsurface 48 and latchingprojection 46 latch with correspondingly embodied latching edges 36.7 on the lateral surfaces 36.4 of the second positioning means 36 which are embodied as an angular element. After the latching the bearing surfaces 48 of the cap lie on the side surfaces 36.4 of the second positioning means 36 which are embodied as an angular element. This means that in thecap 40 the radial forces which come from the connectingcable 16 are not absorbed by the latching connection but rather by the geometry engaging around in the form of the bearing surfaces 48 and the lateral surfaces 36.4. Thecap 40 therefore serves as a fastening element and as a heat protection for the bending point of the connectingcable 16. The configuration of the first and second positioning means 20, 36 and of the cut-out 42 in thecap 40 are selected in the illustrated exemplary embodiment in such a way that right-angled deflection of the connectingcable 16 with respect to thesensor housing body 12 takes place. Where necessary, any other desired deflection angle for the connectingcable 16 can also be implemented by corresponding configurations of the first and second positioning means 20, 36 and of the cut-out 42 in thecap 40. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a second exemplary embodiment of asensor arrangement 1′ with asensor element 11 and/or an electrical assembly for sensing and evaluating measurement signals, in particular magnetic field signals, afastening tab 30′, a connectingcable 16′ and acap 40′. Thesensor element 11 and the connectingcable 16′ have been at least partially encased with plastic by injection molding in order to form asensor housing 10. Thesensor housing 10 corresponds essentially to the first embodiment of the invention described with reference toFIGS. 1 to 6 . - As is apparent from
FIGS. 7 to 10 , thesensor housing 10 is connected to afastening tab 30′ which comprises abase body 32′ with afastening bush 38′ which is arranged to the side of the cable outlet. In a way analogous to the first exemplary embodiment, thefastening tab 30′ has aninsertion sleeve 34′ which is connected to thebase body 32′ and into which thesensor housing body 12 of thesensor housing 10 is inserted. Thesensor housing 10 and theinsertion sleeve 34′ each comprise, in a way analogous to the first exemplary embodiment, securing means 14, 15, 34.1′, 34.2′ which are embodied in such a way that various angular positions for securing thesensor housing 10 and thefastening tab 30′ are present, wherein thesensor housing 10 and thefastening tab 30′ are secured with respect to one another in one of the various angular positions. In a way analogous to the first exemplary embodiment, afastening bush 38′, through which, for example, a screw for fastening thesensor arrangement 1′ can be led, is embodied in thefastening tab 30′, in order to fasten thesensor arrangement 1′ at the installation location in the vehicle. In addition, thefastening tab 30′ comprises aninsertion sleeve 34′ which, in the illustrated exemplary embodiment, is integrally formed onto thebase body 32′ during the injection process. In order to secure thesensor housing 10 to thefastening tab 30′, a star contour 34.2′ is provided at the upper end 34.1′ of theinsertion sleeve 34′, which star contour 34.2′ interacts with afurther star contour 15 which is arranged at theupper end 14 of thesensor housing body 12. In a way analogous to the first exemplary embodiment, thestar contour 15 which is arranged at theupper end 14 of thesensor housing body 12 is arranged as a positive star contour and the star contour 36.2′ which is arranged at the upper end 34.1′ of theinsertion sleeve 34′ is embodied as anegative star contour 15. In accordance with the number of projections and corresponding cut-outs, various angular positions are present in which thesensor housing 10 and/or thesensor housing body 12 can be inserted into theinsertion sleeve 34′. In order to improve the securing between thesensor housing body 12 and theinsertion sleeve 34′, the twostar contours 15, 34.2 can also be hot caulked in the second exemplary embodiment. - As is also apparent from
FIGS. 7 to 10 a sleeve-shapedcontour 22′ with anannular collar 24′ is injection molded, as a first positioning means 20′ onto the connectingcable 16′ near to thefastening tab 30′, which positioning means 20′ interacts with corresponding positioning means 36′ arranged on thefastening tab 30′, in order to secure an angular position of the bent connectingcable 16′ with respect to thesensor element 11 and/or with respect to thefastening tab 30′. In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, second positioning means 36′ in the form of a spherical shell are integrally formed onto thefastening tab 30′, which second positioning means 36′ interact with the first positioning means 20 which are embodied as a sleeve-shapedcontour 22′ and are integrally injection molded onto the connectingcable 16′, in order to permit the bent connectingcable 16′ to be locked in three different angular positions. - As is also apparent from
FIGS. 7 to 10 , the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell comprise an inner wall 36.1′ with a shoulder 36.3′ and an outer wall 36.4′. A lower region of the inner wall 36.1′ which is not noted in more detail and the shoulder 36.3′ are at a predefined angular position with respect to one another. In the illustrated exemplary embodiment the shoulder 36.3′ is essentially perpendicular to the inner wall 36.1′. The lower region of the inner wall 36.1′ is embodied as a prolongation of theinsertion sleeve 34′ and also has a star contour 36.2′ in order to permit the insertion of thesensor housing body 12 into theinsertion sleeve 34′. The shoulder 36.3′ has a plurality of depressions (not denoted in more detail) which are matched to theannular collar 24 of the sleeve-shapedcontour 22. Three latching contours each with a cut-out 36.5′ are arranged in the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell, onto each of the ends of which latching contours latching projections 36.6′ are integrally formed. The cut-outs 36.5′ and the latching projections 36.6′ and the first positioning means 20′ which are integrally injection molded onto the connectingcable 16′ are therefore matched to one another in such a way that after the bending of the connectingcable 16′ the latching projections 36.6′ latch with the sleeve-shapedcontour 22′ in order to lock thebent connecting cable 16′ in the selected angular position. Theannular collar 24′ which is integrally formed onto the sleeve-shapedcontour 22′ limits the axial play of the connectingcable 16′ and advantageously absorbs the axial forces. - In order to secure all the parts, the
cap 40′ is fitted onto the second positioning means 36′, which are embodied as a spherical shell, and latched. For this purpose, thecap 40′ has a cut-out 40 which corresponds to the bend in the connectingcable 16′ and has two main openings 42.1′, 42.2′. A first main opening 42.1 is matched to the outer contour of the sleeve-shapedcontour 22 and has a bearing surface 48.2 for theannular collar 24′ of the sleeve-shapedcontour 22′. A second main opening 42.2′ has a larger clear width than the first main opening 42.1′ and is matched to the contour of theannular collar 24′ in such a way that the second main opening 42.2′ can be pushed over theannular collar 24′, the upper edge of which second main opening 42.2′ is matched to the contour of theannular collar 24. The lower edge of the cut-out 42′ is formed by two clampingbars 44′ which downwardly bound two further cut-outs 49′ which are matched to the contour of the outer wall 36.4′ of the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell, in such a way that in the latched state of thecap 40′, two bearing surfaces 48.1′ which bound the cut-out 49′ bear on the outer wall 36.4′ of the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell. In the latched state of thecap 40′, the two latchingprojections 46′ which are integrally formed onto the clamping bars 44′ engage around the contour of the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell. This means that in thecap 40′ the radial forces which come from the connectingcable 16 are not absorbed by the latched connection but rather by the geometry which engages around in the form of the bearing surfaces 48.1′ and the outer wall 36.4′ of the second positioning means 36′ which are embodied as a spherical shell. Thecap 40′ therefore also serves as a fastening element and as a heat protection for the bending point of the connectingcable 16′. The configuration of the first and second positioning means 20′, 36′ and that of the cut-out 42′ in thecap 40′ are selected in the illustrated exemplary embodiment in such a way that right-angled deflection of the connectingcable 16 is possible at three different angular positions with respect to thesensor housing body 12. Where necessary, any other desired deflection can be implemented for the connectingcable 16′ and more than three can be implemented by corresponding configurations of the first and second positioning means 20′, 36′ as well as the cut-out 42′ in thecap 40. - The mode of operation of the
sensor arrangement sensor arrangement 1 serves, in particular, to determine the rotational speed, the acceleration, the acceleration gradient and/or the rotational angle of rotating parts. The use in motor vehicles is promoted here by the various angular positions which make it possible to select the optimum angular position of the fastening tab in relation to the sensor housing with respect to the installation position in the vehicle. As a result, the shape of the sensor arrangement can be matched in an optimum way to the installation space in the vehicle. The sensor arrangement according to the invention is produced essentially by mounting the sensor housing in the fastening tab. - Embodiments of the invention advantageously permit sensor arrangements to be produced whose fastening tabs and sensor housings can have different angular positions with respect to one another, without the need to make changes to the injection molding molds. The various sensor arrangements are produced by the mounting process, wherein the flexibility of the angular position of the fastening tab with respect to the sensor housing is provided, for example, by means of a plurality of latching possibilities.
