SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CLEANING THE SENSOR SURFACE OF A SENSOR SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC B60W30/00 B60S1/56 B60S1/54 B60R1/00 B05B7/26 

FIELD: cleaning systems.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to a sensor cleaning system, in particular, to a system and method for cleaning the sensor surface of an unmanned vehicle sensor system and a supply panel for a cleaning system. The cleaning system has a body and a feed panel. The supply panel has a body forming a jet deflection device, a plurality of nozzles formed inside the body, and a channel located inside the body. The specified nozzle is configured to receive air-liquid fluid from the channel and create an extended fluid jet along the first trajectory to the jet deflector. The jet deflector has a curved deflection surface for deflecting an extended fluid jet from (i) the first trajectory to (ii) a curved path along the curved deflection surface towards the sensor surface. The jet deflector and the specified nozzle are oriented such that when the extended fluid jet contacts the curved deflection surface along the first path, the curved path of the extended fluid jet follows the curved deflection surface towards the sensor surface.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of cleaning the sensor surface with no obstruction of the sensor's field of view.
