Abstract: A decoupling element for an ultrasonic sensor is disclosed. The ultrasonic sensor is able to be attached to a flat component for a vehicle. The flat component includes a cutout. The ultrasonic sensor includes a cylindrical ultrasonic transceiver element which is able to be introduced into the cutout. The decoupling element includes a hollow-cylindrical element for enclosing the cylindrical ultrasonic transceiver element of the ultrasonic sensor and a plurality of support ribs which are arranged in the radial direction outside the hollow-cylindrical element and are spaced apart from one another in a circumferential direction of the hollow-cylindrical element for supporting the decoupling element on a region of the flat component outside the cutout when the cylindrical ultrasonic transceiver element with the hollow-cylindrical element enclosing it is introduced by an end portion at an axial end into the cutout.

Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor (1) comprises a housing (2) and a diaphragm (4), to which a piezo-electric element (6) is fastened, and an electric connector region (8) which has an earth connector (24). A layer made from an electrically non-conducting material is arranged between the diaphragm (4) and the piezo-electric element (6), and the diaphragm (4) is connected to the earth connector (24) in an electrically conducting manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor device (1) for a motor vehicle, comprising an ultrasonic sensor (2), which comprises a pot-shaped membrane (21) for emitting and/or receiving ultrasonic signals, comprising a decoupling ring (6), which is arranged to fit around the membrane (21) in contact with an outer circumference (34) of the membrane (21), and comprising a stiffening element (13), which is arranged around the decoupling ring (6), wherein the decoupling ring (6) comprises a circumferential first radial decoupling region (32) which is in contact with the outer circumference (34) of the membrane (21) as well as a second radial decoupling region (33) with an axial face (37) which is in contact with an axial face (38) of the stiffening element (13).

Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (12) for a short-range detection system and/or parking system of a motor vehicle, especially an ultrasound sensor. The sensor comprises a pot-shaped housing (10), whereby the base thereof (14) is embodied as an oscillating membrane. The housing comprises a coating on at least the outer side. The invention is characterized in that the coating is made of powder (18) which is weather-proof, which can be coated and which has no or no significant negative influence upon the oscillation behavior of the membrane. The invention also relates to a method for the production of this type of sensor.
