Abstract
A vehicle sensor cleaning device is configured to clean a cover glass of a sensor section of a vehicle. The vehicle sensor cleaning device includes a driving part configured to rotate and a movement part coupled to the driving part. The movement part is configured to clean the cover glass while moving along the cover glass based on rotation of the driving part, where the movement part is configured to contact the cover glass and perform a reciprocating motion for cleaning a surface of the cover glass.
Claims20
A vehicle sensor cleaning device for a vehicle having a sensor section, comprising:
- a driving part configured to rotate;
- and
- a movement part coupled to the driving part and configured to clean a cover glass of the sensor section by moving along the cover glass based on rotation of the driving part,
- wherein the movement part is configured to contact a surface of the cover glass and to perform a reciprocating motion for cleaning the surface of the cover glass, the surface of cover glass having (i) a first area corresponding to a sensor that is disposed in the sensor section of the vehicle and (ii) a second area disposed outside the first area, and
- wherein the movement part is configured to move at a first speed in the first area of the cover glass and to move at a second speed in the second area of the cover glass, the second speed being different from the first speed.
A vehicle sensor cleaning device for a vehicle having a sensor section, comprising:
- a motor;
- an arm head rod coupled to the motor and configured to rotate based on rotation of the motor;
- and
- a wiper connected to the arm head rod and configured to contact a surface of a cover glass of the sensor section and to perform a reciprocating motion for cleaning the surface of the cover glass, the surface of cover glass having (i) a first area corresponding to a sensor that is disposed in the sensor section of the vehicle and (ii) a second area disposed outside the first area,
- wherein the wiper is configured to move at a first speed in the first area of the cover glass and to move at a plurality of second speeds in the second area of the cover glass, the plurality of second speeds being different from the first speed.
