System and method for directing an airflow into a sensor enclosure
摘要
說明書
In some embodiments, the frame 234 can also include a powertrain. The powertrain is an electric motor coupled to a drivetrain comprising one or more gears. The powertrain can rotate the ring 236 clockwise or counter-clockwise. In various embodiments, the electric motor can be a direct current brush or brushless motor, or an alternate current synchronous or asynchronous motor. Many variations are possible. In various embodiments, the one or more gears of the drivetrain can be configured to have various gear ratios designed to provide various amounts of torque delivery and rotational speed.
In general, the frame 234 can be made from any suitable materials that can withstand extreme temperature swings and weather various environmental conditions (e.g., rain, snow, corrosion, oxidation, etc.). The frame 234 can be fabricated using various metal alloys (e.g., aluminum alloys, steel alloys, etc.). The frame 234 can also be fabricated with three dimensional printers using thermoplastics (e.g., polylactic acid, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polyamide, high impact polystyrene, thermoplastic elastomer, etc.). Similarly, the air duct 246 can be made from rigid materials (e.g., hard plastics, polyurethane, metal alloys, etc.) or semi-rigid materials (e.g., rubber, silicone, etc.). Many variations are possible.
