SENSOR CLEANING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18132742 titled 'SENSOR CLEANING DEVICE
The abstract describes a sensor cleaning device that includes a chamber portion with an air passage and a discharge port, a blocking portion to selectively open the discharge port with injected air pressure, and a holder portion to control the opening displacement of the blocking portion.
- The sensor cleaning device has a chamber portion with an air passage and a discharge port.
- A blocking portion is coupled to the chamber portion to shield the discharge port and can be opened by injected air pressure.
- A holder portion covers the blocking portion and controls the opening displacement when the blocking portion is opened.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various sensors that require periodic cleaning to maintain accuracy and functionality. - It can be applied in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where sensors are crucial for operations.
Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for manual cleaning of sensors, saving time and effort. - Ensures sensors operate at optimal levels by removing any debris or contaminants that may affect their performance.
Benefits: - Increases the lifespan of sensors by keeping them clean and well-maintained. - Improves the accuracy and reliability of sensor readings by preventing interference from dirt or particles.
Commercial Applications: - The sensor cleaning device can be marketed to companies that rely on sensors for their operations, offering a convenient and efficient solution for sensor maintenance.
Questions about Sensor Cleaning Device: 1. How does the blocking portion of the device open to allow air pressure to clean the sensor? 2. What are the potential cost savings for companies using this sensor cleaning technology compared to manual cleaning methods?
Original Abstract Submitted
A sensor cleaning device includes a chamber portion disposed on the outer circumferential surface of a sensor and has an air passage and a discharge port formed therein. A blocking portion is coupled to the chamber portion to shield the discharge port and is configured to selectively open the discharge port by the injection pressure of injected air. A holder portion is coupled to the chamber portion while covering the blocking portion and is configured to control the opening displacement of the blocking portion when the blocking portion is opened.
