The vibration transmitting member includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface faces the exterior member. The second surface is inclined with an acute angle relative to the first surface. The vibration generator is mounted on the second surface. The vibration transmitting member is softer than the exterior member. The vibration transmitting member is configured to generate surface waves that advance in a predetermined direction in the exterior member.

A cleaning device for dispensing a gaseous medium and/or a medium mixture includes a mixing element having a first feed connection in a main medium feed line, a second feed connection in a medium feed branch line, and a dispensing connection configured to dispense the gaseous medium and/or the medium mixture. The cleaning device further includes a pressure chamber on the main medium feed line and a switching valve arranged in the main medium feed line, downstream or and/or at the pressure chamber. The switching valve is configured to prevent passage of the gaseous medium through the mixing element in a first switching state and to allow passage of the gaseous medium in a second switching state. The cleaning device optionally additionally includes a regulating device arranged in the medium feed branch line and configured to regulate a feed of the liquid medium.

A vehicle which contributes to safe autonomous driving by washing the sensor provided in the vehicle by efficiently using a limited capacity washing solution, and a control method thereof. The vehicle includes: a first sensor; a second sensor; a driving device including at least one motor and configured to operate to clean the first sensor and the second sensor; and a controller configured to control the driving device to first wash the first sensor prior to the second sensor based on predetermined rank information when is the controller determines that at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor is contaminated.

The present invention relates to a system for cleaning at least two sensors/transmitters for a motor vehicle, the system comprising at least one first device for projecting a cleaning fluid onto at least one first sensor/transmitter, at least one second device for projecting a cleaning fluid onto at least one second sensor/transmitter, at least one reservoir, at least one circuit for distribution of the cleaning fluid, connecting the reservoir to the first and second projection devices, at least one electronic pump, and at least one control unit, characterized in that the control unit is configured to receive information on a request for activation of the first and/or second projection device(s) in order to determine a theoretical value of at least one operating parameter of a pump.

Of the moving directions of the piston, the direction in which high-pressure air is delivered is a delivery direction, and the direction in the opposite direction from the delivery direction is a force accumulation direction. The piston is moved in the force accumulation direction by the moving mechanism, and moved in the delivery direction by the biasing force of the biasing spring in response to the release of the moving force exerted by the moving mechanism. The cylinder is provided with: a piston supporting portion that supports the piston; and a connection protrusion that has a delivery path for delivering the high-pressure air to the nozzle. The inner surface of an end of the piston supporting portion in the delivery direction is formed as a closed surface. The delivery path is located further toward the force accumulation direction than the closed surface is.

A windscreen washer system for vehicles, in particular for motor vehicles, including at least one rainwater collection element connected to at least one suction pump for collecting rainwater and conveying the same to a collection tank connected in turn to a pump for delivering windscreen washer fluid where the rainwater collection element is integrated in at least one wiper blade.
