Abstract
A snap-fit height sensor and a height sensor assembly. The snap-fit height sensor is fixed to a base by means of a mounting support. The height sensor comprises a sensor body and a swing arm capable of swinging relative to the sensor body. An engagement seat is provided on the sensor body, the engagement seat being capable of receiving the mounting support and being fitted and fixed to the mounting support. The snap-fit height sensor and height sensor assembly provided in the present utility model overcome the shortcomings in the prior art, such that the mounting support and sensor have a small mounting volume, a light weight and a low cost, with simple mounting steps, few components and high efficiency.
