Device and method for cleaning a partial region of a housing surface

An optoelectronic sensor, comprising:

• a housing;
• an optoelectronic sensor situated in the housing, a housing surface of the housing having at least a partial region that is permeable to light of the optoelectronic sensor;
• and
• a device for cleaning the at least the partial region of the housing surface, the device including:
• a first structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface of the first structure being situated opposite to the inner surface of the first structure, the inner surface of the first structure be disposed on the partial region of the housing surface;
• and
• a second structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface of the second structure being situated opposite to the inner surface of the second structure, wherein the inner surface of the second structure is disposed on the outer surface of the first structure, the first structure being deformable along a first axis by a fluid which is able to be conducted between the first structure and the second structure, and the second structure being movable along a second axis, the second axis being disposed perpendicular to the first axis.

A vehicle, comprising:

• a device for cleaning at least a partial region of a housing surface, the device including:
• a first structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface of the first structure being situated opposite to the inner surface of the first structure, the inner surface of the first structure being able to be disposed on the partial region of the housing surface;
• and
• a second structure having an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface of the second structure being situated opposite to the inner surface of the second structure;
• wherein the inner surface of the second structure is disposed on the outer surface of the first structure, the first structure is deformable along a first axis by a fluid which is able to be conducted between the first structure and the second structure, and the second structure (i) is movable along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and (ii) is disposed on a roof of the vehicle or hidden in the roof of the vehicle.
