Questions about Sensor Cleaning Apparatus
How does the hydraulic pressure from washer fluid power the nozzle assembly?
The hydraulic pressure from the inflowing washer fluid pushes through the nozzle assembly, causing it to stand up and direct the fluid towards the sensor for cleaning.
What are the potential cost savings associated with using this sensor cleaning apparatus in vehicles?
By automating the sensor cleaning process, the apparatus can reduce maintenance costs and ensure sensors operate efficiently, leading to potential cost savings for vehicle owners.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus for cleaning a sensor includes: a sensor that is positioned in a vehicle; a sensor bearing unit that is positioned on a vehicle body adjacent to the sensor, and at least one nozzle assembly that is positioned in the sensor bearing unit. the at least one nozzle assembly stands up by a hydraulic pressure of inflowing washer fluid. the apparatus also includes: a washer fluid passage that is in fluid connection with the nozzle assembly and through which washer fluid flows; and a motor unit that is configured to apply a driving force so that the sensor bearing unit rotates based on the sensor.
