摘要: A wiper blade is disclosed having a blade body extending along a longitudinal elongation direction of the wiper blade and a wiper rubber carried by the blade body and configured for cleaning a visibility zone of a glazed surface for a motor vehicle. The blade body includes at least one spray element configured to project the cleaning fluid into an additional zone separate from the visibility zone to clean an element arranged outside the visibility zone. The at least one spray element is in a so-called vertical orientation defined by an angle between 60° and 110° with respect to a so-called vertical direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal elongation direction and in a so-called vertical plane, of which the normal is parallel to the main elongation direction.

摘要: A telescopic cleaning device for an optical sensor of a vehicle, including a support sheath, a sprayer body, a sprayer adapted to be movable in translation relative to the sprayer body, with the sprayer body being adapted to be inserted in translation into the sheath and adapted to be attached in the sheath by blocking means. The sprayer body is thus prevented from coming out of the sheath, allowing secure attachment of the sprayer body in a vehicle. The invention also relates to a detection system and a method for assembling the telescopic cleaning device.

摘要: System and methods are disclosed herein for preventing debris accumulation and/or for removing debris about a lens of a sensor of a vehicle. The sensor may include one or more LIDAR units disposed about the vehicle. An airflow device may be disposed about the lens of the sensor. The airflow device may be configured to provide an airflow about the lens of the sensor. The airflow provided to the lens may be a constant flow of air about the lens at a low pressure and/or bursts of air about the lens at a higher pressure.

摘要: A sensor pod system includes one or more sensor pods with a plurality of sensors configured to collect data from an environment. A sensor pod may have an effective field of view created by individual sensors with overlapping fields of view. The sensor pod system may include sensors of different types and modalities. Sensor pods of the sensor pod system may be modularly installed on a vehicle, for example, an autonomous vehicle and collect and provide data of the environment during operation of the vehicle.

摘要: A vehicle cleaner system includes a sensor, a cleaner, a vehicle control unit, and a cleaner control unit. The sensor is mounted on a vehicle, and is configured to acquire information around the vehicle, and is configured to output a sensor signal. The cleaner is capable of discharging a cleaning liquid to the sensors. The vehicle control unit is configured to recognize information around a host vehicle or control the host vehicle by using the sensor signal output from the sensor. The cleaner control unit is configured to output to at least one of the sensor and the vehicle control unit an in-operation signal indicating that the cleaner is in operation when the cleaner is in operation.

摘要: A cleaning device for cleaning an outer surface of an optical instrument of a motor vehicle is provided. The cleaning device comprises a cleaning fluid supply for supplying to the outer surface, and a cover for temporarily covering at least the outer surface. The cleaning device is arranged to move the cover between a covering position and a releasing position in which the cover covers, or leaves uncovered, the outer surface, respectively. Upon moving from the covering position to the releasing position, or vice versa, the cover can be in successive intermediate positions covering a respective first portion and leaving uncovered a respective second portion of said outer surface. The cleaning device is arranged such that in at least one of the positions, the cleaning device defines a flow path between the cover and the outer surface to allow cleaning fluid to flow between them.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to an unmanned vehicle and its sensor device and cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes: a housing, a cleaning element, a driving component transmissively connected to the cleaning element and a control unit installed within a receiving cavity. The housing has a light transmissive element provided on a side surface thereof. The cleaning element is pivotable about one end thereof and mounted to the housing. The cleaning element, when pivoting, frictionally interacts with a surface of the light transmissive element that is away from the receiving cavity to clean the light transmissive element. The control unit is communicatively connected to the driving component for controlling the driving component.

摘要: A windshield wiper includes a support structure, a scrubbing wiper assembly, and a motor. The scrubbing wiper assembly is slidably attached to the support structure and has a central longitudinal axis extending in the elongate direction between a first end and a spaced apart second end. The scrubbing wiper assembly includes a slider element and a wiper blade rigidly secured to the slider element. The motor is mounted to the support structure and is engaged with the slider element to reciprocally move the scrubbing wiper blade along the central longitudinal axis. The reciprocation can impart a linear torque to the slider element. Methods of cleaning and polishing a windshield using a windshield wiper are also included.
