Abstract
System for cleaning a glazed surface of a motor vehicle, including at least one wiper and a drive device for driving at least the wiper along an axis of translation, substantially perpendicular to said wiper, where the glazed surface is a detection surface of a sensor/emitter of a detection assembly and in that the drive device includes at least one drive motor driving in rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of translation, and at least a conversion device converting a rotational movement of the drive motor into a rectilinear movement along the axis of translation.
Claims12
A cleaning system for cleaning a glazed surface of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one wiper and a drive device for driving the at least the wiper along an axis of translation substantially perpendicular to the at least one wiper, with the drive device connected to the at least one wiper between the at least one wipers axial ends, with the at least one wiper including at least one guide member for guiding the wiper along the axis of translation positioned at one of the axial ends, wherein the glazed surface is a detection surface of a sensor or transmitter of a detection assembly and in that the drive device includes at least one drive motor for driving in rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of translation, and at least one conversion device for converting the rotary movement of the drive motor into a rectilinear movement along the axis of translation.
A detection assembly for a motor vehicle, the detection assembly comprising at least one sensor or transmitter, with the at least one sensor or transmitter including at least one glazed surface, and at least one cleaning system, with the cleaning system including at least one wiper and a drive device for driving the at least the wiper along an axis of translation substantially perpendicular to the at least one wiper, with the drive device connected to the at least one wiper between the at least one wipers axial ends, with the at least one wiper including at least one guide member for guiding the wiper along the axis of translation positioned at one of the axial ends, wherein the glazed surface is a detection surface of a sensor or transmitter of a detection assembly and in that the drive device includes at least one drive motor for driving in rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of translation, and at least one conversion device for converting the rotary movement of the drive motor into a rectilinear movement along the axis of translation.
A cleaning system for cleaning a glazed surface of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one wiper and a drive device for driving the at least the wiper along an axis of translation substantially perpendicular to the at least one wiper, wherein the glazed surface is a detection surface of a sensor or transmitter of a detection assembly and in that the drive device includes at least one drive motor for driving in rotation about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the axis of translation, and at least one conversion device for converting the rotary movement of the drive motor into a rectilinear movement along the axis of translation, with the conversion device including at least a first connecting rod, attached to the drive motor to form a fixed motor articulation point, and at least two articulated quadrilaterals of connecting rods, respectively a first quadrilateral of connecting rods and a second quadrilateral of connecting rods, an articulated connecting member being common to the first quadrilateral and to the second quadrilateral, the second quadrilateral including a fixed point of the conversion device.
