Abstract: A LIDAR cleaning system includes an actuator configured to displace a first connecting member along a predetermined direction. A housing substantially completely encloses the actuator and the first connecting member. A wiper unit includes a second connecting member. The first connecting member and the second connecting member are force-conductively connected to each other. The housing is at least partially arranged between the first connecting member and the second connecting member and the actuator is configured to displace the wiper unit along the predetermined direction via the first connecting element and the second connecting element to clean a sensor surface of a LiDAR sensor.

Abstract: A LiDAR cleaning system includes a cleaning arm configured to clean a sensor surface of a LiDAR sensor by displacement of the cleaning arm. The system further includes a drive unit having at least two deflection elements and a belt element. The cleaning arm is detachably connected to the belt element. The drive unit is configured to displace the cleaning arm by rotation of the belt element about the at least two deflection elements to clean the sensor surface.

Abstract: A sensor cleaning apparatus, for cleaning a sensor field of a sensor, in particular a LiDAR sensor, of a vehicle, includes at least one wiper drive housing, which houses at least a majority of at least one wiper drive unit. At least one wiper is arranged at least partially outside of the wiper drive housing and is configured to clean the sensor field by way of a wiping motion. At least one wiper receiving element is provided for transferring a drive movement from the wiper drive unit to the wiper. The sensor cleaning apparatus further includes a sealing unit configured for an at least water-tight seal of the wiper drive housing and includes at least one movable passage opening for the wiper receiving element and/or for the wiper.

Abstract: A sensor field cleaning device (10a; 10b; 10c; 10d; 10e; 10f) for cleaning at least one sensor (12a; 12b; 12c; 12d; 12e; 12f), in particular a driving assistance sensor, for example a LiDAR sensor, of a vehicle (14a; 14b; 14c; 14d; 14e; 14f). The device includes a wiper unit (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d; 16e; 16f) which comprises at least one wiper (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d; 18e; 18f). The wiper unit (16a; 16b; 16c; 16d; 16e; 16f) is configured to clean an at least singly-curved sensor field surface (20a; 20b; 20c; 20d; 20e; 20f) of the sensor (12a; 12b; 12c; 12d; 12e; 12f) by a back-and-forth movement of the wiper (18a; 18b; 18c; 18d; 18e; 18f).
