The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to an unmanned vehicle and its sensor device and cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes: a housing, a cleaning element, a driving component transmissively connected to the cleaning element and a control unit installed within a receiving cavity. The housing has a light transmissive element provided on a side surface thereof. The cleaning element is pivotable about one end thereof and mounted to the housing. The cleaning element, when pivoting, frictionally interacts with a surface of the light transmissive element that is away from the receiving cavity to clean the light transmissive element. The control unit is communicatively connected to the driving component for controlling the driving component.

Device of unmanned vehicle with sensor device and cleaning mechanism

A sensor () mounting apparatus is provided, including a housing (), a guiding component () provided on the housing (), a first cleaning member () slidably arranged on the guiding component (), and a first driving element (). The housing () has an accommodating cavity (), the first driving element () is configured to drive the first cleaning member () to slide along the guiding component (), and the first cleaning member () includes a second driving element () and a cleaning element () in transmission connection with the second driving element (). The second driving element () is configured to drive the cleaning element () to swing back and forth around a direction perpendicular to a light-transmitting surface ().

Sensor mounting apparatus

The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to a vehicle for carrying a container. The vehicle includes: a vehicle body, at least one locking mechanism provided on the vehicle body and a microcontroller unit communicatively connected to each of the at least one locking mechanism and configured to control each of the at least one locking mechanism to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. Each of the at least one locking mechanism is connected fixedly to the container when the locking mechanism is in the locked state, such that the container is fixed to the vehicle body. The vehicle is advantageous in that it is capable of locking and unlocking the container in a simple way, thereby improving the efficiency of the vehicle in transportation of the container.

The present disclosure relates to vehicle technology, and more particularly, to an unmanned vehicle and its sensor device and cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes: a housing, a cleaning element, a driving component transmissively connected to the cleaning element and a control unit installed within a receiving cavity. The housing has a light transmissive element provided on a side surface thereof. The cleaning element is pivotable about one end thereof and mounted to the housing. The cleaning element, when pivoting, frictionally interacts with a surface of the light transmissive element that is away from the receiving cavity to clean the light transmissive element. The control unit is communicatively connected to the driving component for controlling the driving component. The cleaning mechanism can clean the light transmissive element using the cleaning element, so as to solve the problem in the related art that a sensor may not function normally due to contamination of a sensor device by dirt such as dust.
