Abstract
A cleaning device, intended to spray at least one fluid towards a surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, such as an optical sensor of an optical detection system, comprises at least one fluid intake and distribution device (D) into which are selectively admitted a cleaning fluid and a drying fluid through two distinct sets of runs from an intake end-fitting (110, 111) specific to each fluid. According to the invention, a blocking element (5) is provided in the intake and distribution device (D). This blocking element is movable between a first position of blocking of the set of runs for a cleaning fluid and a second position of clearing of this set of runs for a cleaning fluid.

A cleaning device for spraying at least one fluid towards a surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one fluid intake and distribution device into which are selectively admitted a cleaning fluid and a drying fluid through two distinct sets of runs from an intake end-fitting specific to each fluid,
- wherein the fluid intake and distribution device comprises:
- a blocking element movable between a first position of blocking of a set of runs of one of the fluids and a second position of clearing of the same set of runs,
- a hollow body for the intake respectively of the cleaning fluid and of the drying fluid, a stem for distributing these fluids housed inside the hollow body, drying and cleaning fluid distribution orifices, and
- an intake cap, secured to an upstream bottom delimiting one end of the hollow body.
A cleaning device for spraying at least one fluid towards a surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one fluid intake and distribution device into which are selectively admitted a cleaning fluid and a drying fluid through two distinct sets of runs from an intake end-fitting specific to each fluid,
- wherein the fluid intake and distribution device comprises a blocking element movable between a first position of blocking of a set of runs of one of the fluids and a second position of clearing of the same set of runs,
- wherein in the position of clearing of the set of runs of one of the fluids, the blocking element is configured to at least partially block the other set of runs,
- wherein the blocking element is inserted between an intake cap and an upstream bottom.
