Distance sensing arrangement for motor vehicle has essentially rod-shaped housing that is transparent, at least in scanner's wavelength range, in region of laser scanner light beam outlet

摘要

The arrangement (1) has a motor (4) with a connected motor shaft (4) and a laser scanner whose laser beam moves over a monitored area directly or indirectly as a result of the movement of the motor shaft. The sensing arrangement has an essentially rod-shaped housing (2) that is transparent, at least in the wavelength range of the laser scanner (5,6), in the region of the scanner's light beam outlet. An Independent claim is also included for a method of driving a distance sensing arrangement for a motor vehicle.
