Abstract
The invention relates to a device (5) comprising an optical surface (10) and a cleaning device (15) for cleaning the optical surface comprising:— a wave transducer (25) acoustically coupled with the optical surface and configured to synthesize an ultrasound wave (W) propagating within the optical surface, and— a spraying unit (20) for dispensing a washing liquid (L) onto the optical surface, the device being shaped so that the ultrasound wave displaces the washing liquid on the optical surface.
The present invention relates to a wiper actuating linkage system for a windscreen wiper system, comprising at least one connecting rod (201) extending between longitudinal ends (203, 205) thereof; and at least one crank, wherein a longitudinal end of the at least one connecting rod (201) is articulated to the at least one crank (207) by means of a ball socket assembly comprising a socket (209) and a ball stud (211) which is configured to be secured to the crank (207), the socket (209) comprising a body portion (215) configured to receive a ball portion (217) of the ball stud (211) therein, and the socket (209) further comprises at least one locking slot (227) receiving a locking means (213) for retaining the ball portion (217) inside the socket (209).
The present invention relates to a brush (5, 5a, 5b, 5c) for a direct-current electric motor (2) comprising a rotor (3), the brush (5, 5a, 5b, 5c) comprising a contact surface (SC) intended to come into contact with a commutator (7) of said rotor (1) of the electric motor (2), wherein the brush (5, 5a, 5b, 5c) has a general rectangular parallelepipedal shape and comprises a single chamfer (CF) at the leading edge of the contact surface (SC).
The invention relates to a fixing support (1) for a nozzle (4) of a cleaning system of a sensor (200) of a motor vehicle, characterised in that it comprises fixing and/or positioning means (26, 28) configured to form a short centring of the nozzle (4) and comprising at least one fixing hole (26) configured to receive a fixing element. The invention also relates to a fixing assembly comprising a fixing support (1) and a fixing plate (50) rigidly attached to a body of the nozzle and configured to co-operate with the fixing and/or positioning means of the fixing support (1) to ensure that the body (46) of the nozzle (4) is held in the inner volume of the fixing support.
Cleaning device for projecting a cleaning fluid toward a surface of an optical sensor, including a hollow body with an intake port for the cleaning fluid and an ejection nozzle for ejecting the cleaning fluid in the form of a jet, the hollow body being pierced with a conduit for distributing the cleaning fluid, and a deflection element arranged downstream of the ejection nozzle and configured to obstruct the jet of fluid ejected by the ejection nozzle in such a way as to modify the orientation of the jet of fluid with respect to the surface to be cleaned. The deflection element is adapted to move, depending on the pressure to which it is subjected by the jet of fluid, between a near position, in which the deflection element is next to the ejection nozzle, and a moved-away position, in which the deflection element is away from the ejection nozzle.
The invention relates to a valve (1) of a system for projecting a cleaning liquid (20), comprising, in particular, means (50) for compensating for frozen liquid and a system for projecting a cleaning liquid (20) comprising such a valve (1).
