A cleaning system includes a straight pipe defining an axis, an inlet fluidly connected to the pipe and in line with the axis, and at least three outlets fluidly connected to and elongated from the pipe. The outlets extend parallel to each other and transverse from the pipe. The pipe has an increasing cross-sectional area along the axis from the outlet closest to the inlet to the outlet farthest from the inlet.

A washer fluid delivery system includes a washer fluid reservoir having a first zone with a first low point and a second zone with a second low point. A first valve is disposed in the first zone. The first valve is moveable back and forth between a flow permitting position and a flow restricting position in response to an amount of washer fluid within the first zone. A second valve is disposed in the second zone. The second valve is moveable back and forth between a flow permitting position and a flow restricting position in response to an amount of washer fluid within the second zone. A pump operates to draw a washer fluid from the first zone when the first valve is in the flow permitting position, and to draw a washer fluid from the second zone when the second valve is in the flow permitting position.

A cleaning device for selectively bombarding a surface with a media sequence, the sequence including at least a first gaseous medium and a second liquid medium, includes a nozzle configured to bombard the surface with the second medium; a cleaning valve with a holding port, a pressure port, a plunger, and a pressure outlet; and a high-pressure accumulator configured to store the first medium. The first medium is loaded with an accumulator pressure. The cleaning device further includes a changeover valve configured to selectively create a connection between a first medium supply line and a holding line connected to the holding port. The pressure outlet is configured to bombard the surface with the first medium in pulse-like fashion

A vehicle cleaning system includes a drive pump, an ejection nozzle and a valve device. The valve device includes an intake passage, a valve that closes the intake passage and accumulates pressure of the fluid supplied to the intake passage, a discharge passage, and an auxiliary mechanism. The auxiliary mechanism generates leakage of the fluid from the intake passage during the pressure accumulation to accumulate pressure with the leakage at a leaked side, opens the valve body based on two pressures accumulated in the intake passage and the leaked side, outputs the fluid, which is pressure-accumulated in the intake passage, to the discharge passage by opening the valve body, and closes the valve body as the fluid is output to the discharge passage to allow for re-accumulation of the pressure in the intake passage.

A device for distributing washer fluid includes a cover portion into which a washer fluid is introduced, a moving shaft assembly located inside the cover portion, a motor assembly located at one end of the moving shaft assembly and configured to rotate the moving shaft assembly, one or more flow holes located in the moving shaft assembly, a plurality of distribution units located to correspond to the one or more flow holes, and a controller configured to control a rotation amount of the motor assembly which is configured to selectively discharge an washer fluid introduced into the one or more flow holes to the plurality of distribution units.

A device for distributing washer fluid, which includes a case including one or more discharge holes, a rail part located in the case, a pipe assembly moved along the rail part and configured to discharge a washer fluid to the one or more discharge holes, a motor assembly configured to apply a driving force to allow the pipe assembly to be moved along the rail part, a hose engaged with the pipe assembly and integrally moved with the pipe assembly along the rail part, and a controller configured to control the driving force of the motor assembly in response to a cleaning request such that the pipe assembly discharges the washer fluid to a selected discharge hole.

A vehicle light assembly is provided. The vehicle lighting assembly includes a housing, a light source, a lens disposed in front of the light source, a light sensor disposed outside the lens for sensing light intensity of light output from the lens, and a controller controlling the light source to adjust intensity of the light based on the sensed light intensity. The controller may also control a lens cleaner based on the sensed light intensity.

In a vehicle control system that controls a vehicle that performs autonomous driving, the vehicle control system includes an autonomous driving control device that generates a target trajectory for autonomous driving of the vehicle, and an vehicle travel control device that executes vehicle travel control that controls steering, acceleration, and deceleration of the vehicle such that the vehicle follows the target trajectory. The vehicle travel control device is configured to determine whether an operation request condition for washer operation for ejecting washer solution toward a windshield of the vehicle is satisfied, transmit an approval request for the washer operation to the autonomous driving control device when the operation request condition is satisfied, and execute the washer operation when approval for the approval request is received from the autonomous driving control device.

The invention relates to a device (50) for supplying air to a suction side (12) of a pump (10) of a wiper system (100), said device (50) comprising a suction channel (60) for sucking in air, said suction channel (60) being able to be connected to the suction side (12) of the pump (10). Provision is made that the device (50) is realized as a component separate from the pump (10) and comprises a connection area (52) for connecting the device (50) with a supply container (14) for washer fluid (3) and having an additional connection area (54) for a suction nozzle (24) of the pump (10), and that a check valve (62) is disposed in the suction channel (60), said check valve (62) being designed to open and close as a function of a negative pressure (P) on a suction nozzle (24) of the pump (10), whereby when the said check valve (62) is opened air can enter the area of the suction nozzle (24) of the pump (10), and when the check valve (62) is closed no air is sucked in. 20

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.
