  • Publication number: 20230166665
    Abstract: A sensor device for fastening to the inside of a vehicle window of a motor vehicle, comprising a holder that is connectable to the vehicle window, a carrier that is connected pivotably to the holder, and a sensor unit that is arranged on the carrier, the carrier being pivotable relative to the holder by a settable pivot angle about a carrier pivot axis, and the pivot angle being lockable by a fixing device is disclosed. For particularly precise pivotability of the carrier relative to the holder, the fixing device has a worm mechanism with a worm and with a worm wheel, the axis of rotation of the worm wheel corresponding to the carrier pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 11345282
    Abstract: A camera arm of a camera system for a vehicle comprises a first structural element connecting the camera arm to the vehicle and a second structural element comprises at least one camera. A fastening for the at least one camera offers protection against external damaging influences on the fastening, the camera arm, and on all elements, devices, and modules arranged thereon. The camera arm comprises a variable-volume fluid vessel, connecting the first and the second structural element to one another. At least one restoring element connects the first and the second structural element to one another. The restoring element exerts a force on the second structural element in the direction of the first structural element. The force is varied as a result of the amount of fluid in the fluid vessel, such that the second structural element is moved relative to the first structural element by the varying force.

  • Patent number: 11230235
    Abstract: A camera arm of a camera-based mirror substitute system for a motor vehicle comprises a first structural element for connecting the camera arm to a motor vehicle and a second structural element which comprises at least one camera, the second structural element being pivotable in relation to the first structural element. In order to provide a fastening for cameras of camera monitor systems for mirror substitution in motor vehicles, said fastening offering improved protection against external damaging influences on the fastening and on all elements, devices and modules, in particular cameras, arranged thereon, and enabling an optimum image area of the camera, it is proposed that the second structural element and the first structural element are connected to one another by way of a pivoting mechanism, the pivoting mechanism comprising a planetary gearing.
