Embodiment Construction

[0030] The cleaning device 1 according to the invention is shown in its preferred application in the Figures, namely in a reversing video camera system at the rear of the vehicle, in a rear bumper 2 arranged laterally and in particular under the trunk lid 4 nearby, such as figure 1 visible. The device comprises in particular a video camera 6 and a cleaning head 8 and means for driving a translational movement 10 adapted to generate an active imaging position of the video camera relative to the cleaning head (eg figure 2 shown) and passive positions (such as image 3 with 4 shown), in the active imaging position, the camera is released from the vehicle structure to produce an image of the road scene behind the vehicle, in the passive position, the video camera is retracted into the vehicle structure and faces the cleaning head, It remains fixed within the same vehicle structure.

[0031] The video camera 6 forms a means for imaging the road scene anywhere around the vehicl...

Abstract

A device for cleaning a camera lens (6), by means of a cleaning head, comprises a fixed cleaning head and a camera that is made mobile by means of drive means (10), the head being accommodated in a structural element (2) of the vehicle. The drive means are suitable for generating a relative movement of the camera in relation to the cleaning head, between a passive image capture position in which the camera is disposed accommodated in said structural element of the vehicle facing the cleaning head, and an active position in which the camera is deployed at a distance from the structural element of the vehicle to allow image capture. The device is particularly effective when applied to the cleaning of a reversing camera implanted in motor vehicles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of driver assistance and in particular video cameras mounted on some vehicles. The invention more particularly relates to a device for cleaning such a video camera in order to optimize the quality of the driving assistance information supplied to the driver. Background technique [0002] Today, some motor vehicles are equipped with imaging means, and in particular video cameras, in order to assist the driver in particular during parking and / or reversing maneuvers. Clearly, the information supplied to the driver by such imaging devices is more useful if the acquired images are clear. [0003] Cleaning devices are known which comprise a cleaning head which moves between a retracted position, in which it is not in the field of view of a video camera and thus does not impede imaging, and an active cleaning position , the head is unfolded to face the video camera and is capable of spraying cleaning liquid onto th...
