SENSOR ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201333 titled 'SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The sensor assembly described in the abstract consists of a housing, a sensor unit, and a brush with multiple bristles. The sensor unit is rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the housing and includes an airflow inlet to receive airflow from an aperture in the housing. The brush is fixed to either the housing or the sensor unit and extends across a gap between the two components.
- The sensor unit is rotatable around a vertical axis, allowing for flexibility in airflow direction.
- The housing features an aperture that serves as an airflow outlet, while the sensor unit has an airflow inlet to receive airflow from the housing.
- The brush, with multiple bristles, is fixed to one of the components and extends across the gap to enhance airflow efficiency.
- The design of the sensor assembly allows for improved airflow management and sensor performance.
- The components work together to optimize the sensor's functionality and ensure accurate readings.

Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor assembly includes a housing, a sensor unit attached to the housing, and a brush having a plurality of bristles. the sensor unit includes a shell defining a vertical axis. the shell is rotatable around the axis relative to the housing. the shell includes a lower edge and extends upward from the lower edge. the housing includes an aperture centered on the axis. the aperture defines an airflow outlet from the housing radially inside the aperture relative to the axis. the sensor unit defines an airflow inlet radially inside the lower edge relative to the axis and positioned to receive airflow from the aperture. the aperture and the lower edge define a gap extending around the axis. the brush is fixed to one of the housing or the sensor unit. the bristles extend across the gap toward the other one of the housing or the sensor unit.
