Abstract
The invention relates to a capacitive sensor arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising an elongate, flat measuring electrode and at least one fastening element for fastening the measuring electrode on a support component. It is provided that the fastening element has a retaining tongue, which can be elastically deflected out of a rest position, and the uninstalled measuring electrode can be slid, for the fastening thereof, underneath the retaining tongue via a flat side in an installation motion, which elastically deflects the retaining tongue.
Claims18
A capacitive sensor arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an elongate, flat measuring electrode,
- a locking element, and
- at least two fastening elements for fastening the measuring electrode on a support component,
- wherein at least one of the fastening elements has a retaining tongue, which can be elastically deflected out of a rest position, and the uninstalled measuring electrode can be slid, for the fastening thereof, underneath the retaining tongue via a flat side in an installation motion, which elastically deflects the retaining tongue,
- wherein the installation motion is oriented transversely to the local longitudinal extension of the measuring electrode and parallel to a flat side of the measuring electrode,
- wherein the locking element is engaged with the installed measuring electrode in an interlocking or force-locked manner for locking the installed measuring electrode with respect to a motion parallel to a flat side of the measuring electrode,
- wherein the at least two fastening elements are disposed along the measuring electrode,
- wherein the measuring electrode, along its longitudinal extension, has multiple locking recesses, each of which is assigned to a locking element of a fastening element.
