Vehicular washing device
A vehicular washing device includes: a nozzle (4); a flow passage forming body (2) of which an internal space is a flow passage of a fluid; and a valve (21) that has a pressing tube part (22) with an axial direction coinciding with a flow direction of the fluid, is elastically deformable in a direction in which the diameter of the pressing tube part changes, and opens and closes the flow passage according to the state of deformation. A first flow passage (2a) and a second flow passage (2b) are formed as the flow passage on opposite sides of the pressing tube part. A shaft (9) with which the pressing tube part is capable of coming into close contact is located inside the valve. The valve deforms elastically according to the magnitude of the pressure of the first flow passage or the pressure of the second flow passage relative to an atmospheric pressure.
VEHICULAR CLEANER SYSTEM AND VEHICLE HAVING VEHICULAR CLEANER SYSTEM
The vehicular cleaner system is provided with: a tank (2) for storing a cleaning fluid; a motor pump (3) for pumping out the cleaning fluid in the tank (2); lighting fixture nozzles (4) for spraying the cleaning fluid toward headlamps (100); sensor nozzles (5) for spraying the cleaning fluid toward on-board sensors (200); a cleaning fluid passage (9) that connects the motor pump (3) to the lighting fixture nozzles (4) and the sensor nozzles (5); and a controller (8) for controlling the spraying of the cleaning fluid.
SYSTEM FOR WASHING MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS
The present invention for rights for a system configured for use with an existing motor vehicle windshield washer system whereby a portion of solution is directed to a headlamp washing outlet.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING A SENSOR LENS
A lens-cleaning assembly includes an ultrasonic cleaning system configured to selectively generate vibrations in a lens. The ultrasonic cleaning system is operable to selectively generate cleaning vibrations at a plurality of pulse widths. The cleaning system also includes a controller in communication with the ultrasonic cleaning system. The controller is configured to automatically determine a target pulse width among the plurality of pulse widths in response to a detected characteristic of a detected occlusion on the lens, and to automatically control the ultrasonic cleaning system to generate a cleaning vibration having the target pulse width.
Device and Method of Communicating
A method comprising: (a) heating a light module of a vehicle with a heater; (b) monitoring a temperature of the light module; (c) activating a communication sequence; and (d) performing the communication sequence so that a message is conveyed between a controller of the light module and a controller of the vehicle.
ULTRA-FAST CURING SCRATCH-RESISTANT HEADLIGHT RESTORATION COATING
A composition is also provided that includes mercapto modified resin; aliphatic urethane acrylate; a multifunctional crosslinking agent; photoinitiator; and a hindered amine light stabilizer. The composition provides a fast curing coating that utilizes photopolymerization reactions using a variety of light sources such as low energy consuming and environmentally-friendly UV-LED and sunlight. Features of the coating include clarity, hardness, non-yellowing, scratch resistance, and complete surface cure as well as outstanding adhesion to substrates such as plastic, wood, stone and metal.
VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICE
Provided is a vehicular lighting device (1) attached to a motorbike (100) that is capable of traveling around corners due to the vehicle body being tilted toward the direction for turning, wherein the vehicular lighting device (1) comprises at least two lamps and a sensor (7) for detecting the surrounding environment toward the rear of the vehicle. The vehicular lighting device (1) comprises a left lighting unit (2L) and a right lighting unit (2R) as the at least two lamps. The sensor (7) is disposed between the left lighting unit (2L) and the right lighting unit (2R) as viewed from rearward of the vehicle.

A first flow passage (2a) and a second flow passage (2b) are formed as the flow passage on opposite sides of the pressing tube part. A shaft (9) with which the pressing tube part is capable of coming into close contact is located inside the valve. The valve deforms elastically according to the magnitude of the pressure of the first flow passage or the pressure of the second flow passage relative to an atmospheric pressure.
SNOW REMOVING DEVICE
A snow removing device includes a heater that is disposed in a moving body that has a light including a cover and a cleaner that ejects a washer solution toward an outer surface of the cover. The cover is exposed to an outside of the moving body, covers a light source, and allows light emitted from the light source to pass therethrough. The snow removing device further includes a control unit that controls the heater to heat the cover first, and then controls the cleaner to eject a washer solution toward the outer surface of the cover.
Medium distribution assembly and a vehicle design element including such an assembly
A medium distributing assembly for a vehicle design element includes a medium guide including at least one medium receiving element; and at least one medium exit element, where the medium exit element has at least partly an annular form.
