Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A sensor mounting table for mounting sensors to an aftertreatment system may include a sensor mounting plate having a substantially flat mounting surface for mounting one or more sensors associated with the aftertreatment system. The substantially flat mounting surface may be offset from a heat shield of the aftertreatment system. The sensor mounting table may further include an insulative material disposed between at least a portion of the substantially flat mounting surface of the sensor mounting plate and the heat shield. The sensor mounting plate may be configured to be attached to the aftertreatment system to secure the insulative material between the substantially flat mounting surface of the sensor mounting plate and the heat shield.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sensor mounting system comprising: a first sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to an aftertreatment system, the first sensor mounting plate comprising a first substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a first sensor; and a second sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to the aftertreatment system, the second sensor mounting plate comprising a second substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a second sensor, wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate, wherein the first sensor mounting plate further comprises a first bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first substantially flat mounting surface; wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate via the first bend portion; wherein the first sensor mounting plate further comprises additional bend portions extending substantially perpendicular to the first substantially flat mounting surface; and wherein the additional bend portions are not attached to the second sensor mounting plate. 2. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the first bend portion forms a channel between the first sensor mounting plate and a heat shield of the aftertreatment system. 3. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor mounting plate and the second sensor mounting plate each comprise a single sheet stamped metal. 4. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the first substantially flat mounting surface is substantially perpendicular to the second substantially flat mounting surface. 5. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the second sensor mounting plate further comprises a second bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the second substantially flat mounting surface, wherein the second bend portion is substantially parallel to the first substantially flat mounting surface. 6. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor mounting plate is substantially L-shaped. 7. The sensor mounting system of claim 1 , wherein the first sensor mounting plate is directly welded to a heat shield of the aftertreatment system. 8. A sensor mounting system comprising: a first sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to an aftertreatment system, the first sensor mounting plate comprising a first substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a first sensor; and a second sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to the aftertreatment system, the second sensor mounting plate comprising a second substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a second sensor, wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate; wherein the second sensor mounting plate further comprises a first bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the second substantially flat mounting surface; wherein the first bend portion is substantially parallel to the first substantially flat mounting surface; and wherein the second sensor mounting plate further comprises a second bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first bend portion and towards the first substantially flat mounting surface. 9. A sensor mounting system comprising: a first sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to an aftertreatment system, the first sensor mounting plate comprising a first substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a first sensor; and a second sensor mounting plate configured to be mounted to the aftertreatment system, the second sensor mounting plate comprising a second substantially flat mounting surface for mounting a second sensor, wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate; wherein the second sensor mounting plate further comprises a first bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the second substantially flat mounting surface; wherein the first bend portion is substantially parallel to the first substantially flat mounting surface; wherein the second sensor mounting plate further comprises a second bend portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first bend portion and towards the first substantially flat mounting surface; and wherein the second sensor mounting plate is attached to the first sensor mounting plate via the second bend portion.
