A liquid jetting nozzle-includes a tip body and a tip supported at the tip body. The tip body includes an introduction port which a liquid is introduced. A first and a second ejection port are formed in the tip and each jet out the liquid introduced through the introduction port. A first and a second conduit are formed in the tip. The first conduit structures a downstream side region of a first channel through which the liquid flows from the introduction port toward the side at which the first ejection port is formed. The second conduit structures a downstream side region of a second channel through which the liquid flows from the introduction port toward the side at which the second ejection port is formed. An angle formed between the first and second conduit is specified that the liquid jetting out from the first and second ejection port collide.

A vehicle cleaner unit is configured to clean a cleaning object mounted near a bumper or a grille of a vehicle. The vehicle cleaner unit includes a blower configured to be attached to a rear surface of the bumper or the grille. The bumper or the grille is provided with an air outlet for jetting air blown from the blower toward the cleaning object.

A vehicle monitoring apparatus including: a camera disposed in a vehicle lamp; a guide duct configured to guide outside air introduced into the vehicle; and a nozzle connected to the guide duct and configured to discharge the air to a front side of the camera, thereby improving stability and reliability.

A cleaning device for cleaning a cover lens of a vehicle headlamp is configured to generate an airstream and direct it towards the cover lens. The cleaning device includes at least one air stream device (ASD) configured to generate at least one airstream in an airflow direction. Each ASD includes an air chamber having a spreading section for spreading the received air, a homogenization section for homogenizing the spread air, and a nozzle for outputting the received air in the airflow direction and forming the respective airstream. The spreading section includes a guide channel configured to spread the received air transversely to the airflow direction and to guide the received air to the homogenization section. The ASD is formed by: (i) a main component including parts of each of the spreading section, homogenization section, and nozzle of the air chamber of each ASD, (ii) a separation component including parts of the spreading section and nozzle, wherein the separation and main components form the spreading section of each ASD, and (iii) a cover component including parts of the homogenization portion and nozzle, wherein the cover, main, and separation components form the homogenization section and the nozzle of the ASD.

An optical system to facilitate vehicle operation, a cleaning system to clean an optical element of the optical system and a hollow, protective plastic enclosure for use therein are provided. The cleaning system includes a flexible house having first and second ends, a nozzle fluidly coupled to the hose at the first end of the hose and a hollow protective plastic enclosure having a passageway extending through the enclosure and housing a portion of the hose within the passageway. The enclosure is configured to receive a camera assembly within an interior of the enclosure. The nozzle is configured and positioned at the first end of the hose to direct the flow of a cleaning fluid therethrough to an exterior surface of a transparent optical element to clean the exterior surface to allow the camera assembly to have an unobstructed view of an environment outside the vehicle.
