The invention relates to a cleaning device (1) for cleaning a vehicle element, comprising at least a liquid supply source (8), a spray nozzle unit (3) and a housing (2) which encloses the spray nozzle unit (3) at least in portions and which can be arranged or is arranged in a vehicle component, wherein the spray nozzle unit (3) is linearly movable relative to the housing (2), wherein the spray nozzle unit (3) can be connected or is connected to the liquid supply source for the entry of a cleaning liquid, and wherein the spray nozzle unit (3) can be moved by means of pressure of the cleaning liquid when the cleaning liquid enters.

An on-board sensor cleaning device includes nozzle ports. The on-board sensor cleaning device ejects fluid from the nozzle ports in a predetermined order to clean a sensing surface of an on-board sensor.

This technology relates to a system for clearing a sensor cover. The system may be comprised of a first sensor that rotates within a sensor cover, a plurality of second sensors that are fixed relative to the sensor cover, a first wiper that is configured to clear the sensor cover of debris, and a motor. The motor may rotate the first wiper in a first direction at a first predetermined rotation rate defined at least in part by a second predetermined rotation rate of the first sensor.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type comprising an elastic, elongated carrier element, as well as an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, which can be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped, which wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal slit, in which slit at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed, which windscreen wiper device comprises a connecting device for a rod-like extension of an oscillating arm, wherein said rod-like extension can be pivotally connected to said connecting device about a pivot axis near a free end thereof, wherein said connecting device comprises a first part and a second part, wherein said rod-like extension of said oscillating arm can be pivotally connected to said first part about said pivot axis, with the interposition of said second part, wherein said first part is connected to said wiper blade and said second part is pivotally connected onto said first part, wherein said second part comprises a channel arranged to receive said free end of said rod-like extension, with the special feature that said windscreen wiper device comprises a housing for said rod-like extension, wherein said housing is arranged to be connected to said second part, and wherein said housing comprises a channel to receive said rod-like extension, said channel of said housing in mounted position being co-axial with said channel of said second part.

The present invention relates to a device for cleaning at least one optical surface of a vehicle, including at least one rod which extends mainly along a longitudinal elongation axis. The rod including an element for spraying a cleaning fluid and a wiper blade configured to wipe the optical surface. The device further including at least one actuation means driven to move the rod in a first longitudinal direction of movement parallel to the longitudinal elongation axis, and in a second longitudinal direction of movement opposite to the first longitudinal direction of movement. The device additionally includes at least one means for limiting and/or compensating for at least one return force exerted on the rod.

A windscreen wiper device of the flat blade type having an elastic, elongated carrier element and an elongated wiper blade of a flexible material, adapted to be placed in abutment with a windscreen to be wiped. The wiper blade includes at least one longitudinal slit, in which at least one longitudinal strip of the carrier element is disposed. The windscreen wiper device comprises an oscillating arm having a rod-like extension, a connecting device and a nozzle for spraying a washing liquid onto the windscreen to be wiped. The connecting device includes a channel adapted to receive a free end of the rod-like extension. The nozzle is adapted to be mounted onto the rod-like extension. The nozzle and the connecting device are provided with mutually cooperating protrusion/groove means for locking the nozzle onto the connecting device upon insertion of the free end of the rod-like extension inside the channel of the connecting device.

A LiDAR sensor may include: a housing; a window cover installed on the housing; a motor mounted in the housing; a rotating shaft rotated by the motor; a guide connected to the rotating shaft and rotated along the surface of the window cover; and a brush mounted on the guide so as to face the window cover, contacted with the window cover, and washing the surface of the window cover with rotation of the guide. The guide may include: a first guide part connected to the rotating shaft; a second guide part rotatably connected to the housing; and a third guide part connected to the first and second guide parts, formed in a U-shape so as to face the window cover, and having the brush mounted thereon.

A fluid guiding apparatus for a wiper arm of a windscreen wiper, the fluid guiding apparatus having a vehicle/arm interface in order to receive windscreen washing liquid from a source, an arm/wiper blade interface which has at least two fluid channels which are provided to supply the windscreen washing liquid to a wiper blade, at least a first and a second fluid line in order to guide the windscreen washing liquid from the vehicle/arm interface the arm/wiper blade interface and to provide it to one of the fluid channels in each case, and a heating wire which is guided at least through a portion of the first fluid line and at least through a portion of the second fluid line and which is provided to heat the windscreen washing liquid. The arm/wiper blade interface has a through-opening which connects the two fluid channels to each other. The heating wire is guided through the through-opening and the through-opening is closed with a sealing element.

A sensor assembly includes a housing including a chamber; a first sensor disposed in the chamber and including a first sensor window facing outward from the chamber; a second sensor outside and fixed relative to the chamber, the second sensor including a second sensor window; a blower having a blower outlet in the chamber and having a blower inlet; and a flexible hose extending from a first end positioned to receive ambient air to a second end positioned to direct air into the blower inlet.
