Abstract
An optoelectronic apparatus is provided having a carrier device that has at least one optoelectronic transmitter and/or at least one optoelectronic receiver at an upper side; having a lens element that is provided above the carrier device and that has at least one lens section for the at least one optoelectronic transmitter and/or for the at least one optoelectronic receiver; and having a holding device that at least partly surrounds the carrier device and the lens element. The lens element has a mechanical coding section that projects out of the holding device and that enables at least one coding element for identifying the optoelectronic apparatus.
Claims25
An optoelectronic apparatus, comprising:
- a carrier device that has at least one of:
- at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver at an upper side;
- a lens element that is provided above the carrier device with respect to a vertical direction and that has at least one lens section for at least one of:
- the at least one optoelectronic transmitter and the at least one optoelectronic receiver;
- and
- a holding device that holds the carrier device and the lens element relative to one another and partly surrounds the carrier device and the lens element, wherein the lens element has a mechanical coding section that projects out of the holding device and that has at least one coding element for identifying the optoelectronic apparatus.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of optoelectronic apparatus, each of the plurality of optoelectronic apparatus comprising:
- a carrier device that has at least one of:
- at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver at an upper side,
- a lens element that is provided above the carrier device with respect to a vertical direction and that has at least one lens section for at least one of:
- the at least one optoelectronic transmitter and the at least one optoelectronic receiver, and
- a holding device that holds the carrier device and the lens element relative to one another and partly surrounds the carrier device and the lens element, wherein the lens element has a mechanical coding section that projects out of the holding device and that has at least one coding element for identifying the optoelectronic apparatus,
- wherein the mechanical coding sections of the lens elements of at least some of the different optoelectronic apparatus are formed differently from one another.
(canceled)
An optoelectronic apparatus comprising:
- a carrier device that has at least one of at least one optoelectronic transmitter and at least one optoelectronic receiver at an upper side;
- a lens element that is provided above the carrier device with respect to a vertical direction and that has at least one lens section for the at least one of the at least one optoelectronic transmitter and the at least one optoelectronic receiver;
- and
- a holding device that holds the carrier device and the lens element relative to one another and partly surrounds the carrier device and the lens element,
- wherein the lens element has a mechanical coding section that projects out of the holding device and that has at least one coding element for identifying the optoelectronic apparatus,
- wherein the at least one coding element comprises at least one of at least one elevated portion and at least one recess of the mechanical coding section formed with respect to a rotationally symmetrical structure, the mechanical coding section having a ring-shaped structure,
- wherein the at least one coding element comprises a first coding element and a second coding element, the first coding element being provided at an outer periphery and the second coding element being provided at an inner periphery of the ring-shaped structure.
