摘要: A camera cleaning system for cleaning a field of view of a camera includes a cover having a three-dimensional surface positioned at least partially around a longitudinal axis and extending through an opening in a housing. The cover defines a chamber in which a camera may be mounted. The cover is configured to rotate around the longitudinal axis while a wiper positioned along the opening of the housing engages the three-dimensional surface of the cover, thereby cleaning a field of view of a camera when a camera is mounted therein.

摘要: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for sensor cleaning systems. A region of a sensor window is identified to be blocked by an obscurant. The location of the region is determined using the sensor associated with the sensor window. An acousto-vibratory cleaning system receives the location of the region and produces a fluid droplet to be dispensed at a specified point on a two-dimensional plane of the surface of the sensor window. Sonic actuators are activated to capture the fluid droplet in acoustic levitation. Acoustic forces guide the fluid droplet to the region being obscured. Once the fluid droplet is in cleaning position, vibration of the sensor window is activated to incrementally clear the obscurant by vibrating the droplet along the obscurant. The acousto-vibratory cleaning system generates additional acoustic forces to guide the contaminated fluid droplet to a closest drainage canal.

摘要: A precipitation shield device, and/or methods of manufacturing and/or using the shield device are provided. The shield device of embodiments includes functionality to prevent accumulation of precipitation over an imaging sensor. In embodiments, the shield device includes a base that enables the shield device to be mounted onto an imaging sensor. A shield body may be defined by two end walls and two lateral walls disposed around a central opening of the shield body. During operation, the central opening is aligned with a window of the imaging sensor. In embodiments, the end walls may have a surface configured to control an airflow flowing over the shield device to create a vortex over the central opening of the shield device. In embodiments, the vortex created over the central opening may deflect precipitation away from the central opening and may prevent the precipitation from accumulating over the window of the imaging sensor.
