VEHICLE ASSEMBLY WITH SENSOR CLEANING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240198969 titled 'VEHICLE ASSEMBLY WITH SENSOR CLEANING
The abstract of the patent application describes a vehicle assembly that includes a vehicle window, a sprayer aimed at the vehicle window, a sensor positioned below the window, and a deflector to direct fluid from the sprayer to the sensor. This setup allows a single sprayer to clean both the window and the sensor.
- The vehicle assembly includes a vehicle window, a sprayer, a sensor, and a deflector.
- The sprayer is positioned above the vehicle window and aimed at it.
- The sensor is positioned below the vehicle window.
- The deflector receives fluid from the sprayer and directs it to the sensor.
- This setup allows for efficient cleaning of both the vehicle window and the sensor.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle window cleaning systems - Sensor cleaning systems in various vehicles and machinery
Problems Solved: - Efficient cleaning of both the vehicle window and the sensor with a single sprayer - Simplified maintenance of the cleaning system
Benefits: - Cost-effective solution for cleaning both the window and the sensor - Improved visibility through the window and accurate sensor readings
Commercial Applications: "Vehicle Window and Sensor Cleaning System: Enhancing Visibility and Sensor Accuracy in Automotive and Industrial Applications"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the deflector ensure that the fluid is directed accurately to the sensor? 2. What types of sensors can benefit from this integrated cleaning system?
Original Abstract Submitted
a vehicle assembly includes a vehicle window, a sprayer positioned above the vehicle window and aimed at the vehicle window, a sensor positioned below the vehicle window, and a deflector positioned to receive fluid from the sprayer and shaped to direct the fluid to the sensor. a single sprayer therefore provides cleaning for both the vehicle window and the sensor.
