A sensor-cleaning apparatus includes an upper piece, a lower piece fixed to the upper piece, a plurality of inserts inserted into the upper piece, and a plurality of nozzles. The upper piece and the lower piece form a tubular segment that is elongated along an arc of a circle and encloses a chamber. Each nozzle is formed of the upper piece and one of the inserts. Each nozzle includes a deflection surface and a tunnel from the chamber to the deflection surface, and each tunnel is partially formed of the upper piece and partially formed of the respective insert.

Cleaning apparatus for sensor

The invention proposes an autonomous device for controlling a heating circuit of an automotive vehicle windscreen wiper blade, comprising a module for regulating the electrical power supply of the heating circuit, furnished with an input for connecting to an electrical energy generator and with an output for connecting to a said windscreen wiper blade heating circuit. This device comprises means for acquiring, at an instant t, a datum representative of a temperature outside the vehicle on the one hand and of a datum representative of the instantaneous speed of the vehicle on the other hand, the said acquiring means being configured to transmit these data to the regulating module.

A sensor apparatus includes a cylindrical sensor window defining an axis, and a tubular annular member fixed relative to the sensor window and substantially centered around the axis. The annular member includes a plurality of first nozzles and second nozzles arranged in an alternating pattern around the annular member. The first nozzles each have a direction of discharge in a radially inward and axial direction forming a first angle with the axis. The second nozzles each have a direction of discharge in a radially inward and axial direction forming a second angle with the axis, and the second angle is different than the first angle.

The invention proposes a system () for wiping a vehicle window (), comprising:
