Abstract: Liquid cleaning systems for cleaning AV sensors are disclosed herein. An example liquid cleaning system includes a reservoir storing a liquid. The liquid can flow from the reservoir to a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger can transfer heat generated by a part of the AV to the liquid, thereby improving cleaning efficacy. The part may be battery, motor, engine, sensor (e.g., the sensor to be cleaned with the liquid or another sensor), etc. The heat may be an unintended product of an operation of the part. The heat exchanger can use the heat to warm up the liquid and cool down the part. Additionally or alternatively, the liquid can be heated by another heat exchanger or a heater. The heater can generate heat intended for heating the liquid. The heater may be local to the sensor to be cleaned, e.g., the heater is closer to the sensor than the reservoir.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to systems for cleaning a sensor. For example, the sensor may include a housing as well as internal sensor components housed within the housing. The housing may include a sensor input surface through which signals may pass. The system may also include a motor configured to rotate the internal sensor components relative to a mount as well as the mount to which the motor is fixed. The system may also include a wiper including a wiper blade. The wiper may be attached to the mount such that rotating the housing causes the wiper to contact the sensor input surface in order to clean the sensor.

Abstract: A sensor cleaning control device and method are based on recognition of surrounding objects around a vehicle. The control device and method are applied to a vehicle and consider an object recognized in scattering areas where contamination occurs due to a fluid sprayed from a nozzle to clean blockages or contamination on sensing portion covers provided at sensors, perform cleaning delay using the washer fluid through nozzle delay spraying by a controller, perform air cleaning not using the washer liquid through nozzle air spraying, and do not perform the cleaning through nozzle non-spraying due to replacement of data of other sensor so that the contamination of the object that is contaminated due to the sensor cleaning is reduced or prevented.
