SENSOR CLEANING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300447 titled 'SENSOR CLEANING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a patent application for a sensor cleaning system designed for vehicles. The system includes a sensor unit that monitors the vehicle's external environment, a cover lens that protects the sensor, an outer cleaner that can clean the cover lens, and a transmission unit that transfers the driving force to the outer cleaner. A control unit adjusts the position of the outer cleaner to clean the cover lens effectively.

Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor cleaning system includes: a sensor unit configured to monitor an external environment of a vehicle; a cover lens configured to cover a measurement region of the sensor unit; an outer cleaner configured to selectively come in contact with the cover lens; and a transmission unit configured to transmit a driving force of a driving unit to the outer cleaner. the sensor cleaning system also includes a control unit configured to adjust a position of the outer cleaner such that the outer cleaner selectively comes in contact with the cover lens by the driving force of the driving unit, and to move the cover lens up and down.
