Abstract
A sensor module for being fixed to a vehicle. The sensor module may have at least one environment sensor, a panel component having a viewing area, through which the at least one environment sensor transmits and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting an environment of the vehicle, and at least one cleaning apparatus, which has at least one cleaning nozzle by which the viewing area is cleaned. The at least one cleaning apparatus may have a guide lever which is rotationally connected to the at least one cleaning nozzle and which guides the at least one cleaning nozzle for an in particular combined longitudinal movement along a movement axis and a rotational movement about a rotational axis.
Claims11
A sensor module for being fixed to a motor vehicle, the sensor module comprising:
- at least one environment sensor,
- a panel component having a viewing area, through which the at least one environment sensor transmits and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting an environment of the motor vehicle, and
- at least one cleaning apparatus, which has at least one cleaning nozzle by which the viewing area is cleanable,
- wherein the at least one cleaning apparatus has a guide lever which is rotationally connected to the at least one cleaning nozzle and which guides the at least one cleaning nozzle for a combined longitudinal movement along a movement axis and a rotational movement about a rotational axis,
- wherein the at least one cleaning nozzle has a telescope nozzle having at least two telescopic segments, one of the at least two telescopic segments being movable in relation to the other of the at least two telescopic segments via the longitudinal movement along the movement axis, the at least one guide lever being mounted at one end so as to be rotational at one of the at least two telescopic segments, and the guide lever being mounted at an other end so as to be rotational at a support component of the sensor module.
A sensor module for being fixed to a motor vehicle, the sensor module comprising:
- at least one environment sensor,
- a panel component having a viewing area, through which the at least one environment sensor transmits and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting an environment of the motor vehicle, and
- at least one cleaning apparatus, which has at least one cleaning nozzle by which the viewing area is cleanable,
- wherein the at least one cleaning apparatus has a guide lever which is rotationally connected to the at least one cleaning nozzle and which guides the at least one cleaning nozzle for a combined longitudinal movement along a movement axis and a rotational movement about a rotational axis,
- wherein the environment sensor has an optical axis, the at least one cleaning nozzle being disposed transverse to the optical axis in such a manner that the movement axis or the second movement axis is aligned transverse to the optical axis and the rotational axis is aligned essentially parallel to the optical axis.
A sensor module for being fixed to a motor vehicle, the sensor module comprising:
- at least one environment sensor,
- a panel component having a viewing area, through which the at least one environment sensor transmits and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting an environment of the motor vehicle, and
- at least one cleaning apparatus, which has at least one cleaning nozzle by which the viewing area is cleanable,
- wherein the at least one cleaning apparatus has a guide lever which is rotationally connected to the at least one cleaning nozzle and which guides the at least one cleaning nozzle for a combined longitudinal movement along a movement axis and a rotational movement about a rotational axis,
- wherein the at least one cleaning nozzle is displaceable between retracted position and an extended position owing to the combined longitudinal movement and rotational movement,
- wherein the at least one cleaning apparatus comprises a cover, which aligns flush with the panel component in the retracted position of the at least one cleaning nozzle,
- wherein the cover has a wind deflector for deflecting an airflow from the at least one cleaning nozzle and/or from the at least one part of the viewing area, the wind deflector being disposed on the cover or being formed in one piece with the cover, and
- wherein the wind deflector is made of a flexible mat-shaped material which extends between the cover and the panel component.
