Abstract
The present invention relates to a devicefor protecting an optical sensorfor an automotive vehicle that is intended to be attached to the optical sensor, characterized in that the device includes:—a transparent optical elementexhibiting rotational symmetry and being rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation, configured to be positioned upstream of the optical sensorso that the axis of rotation of the optical elementis merged with the optical axisof the optical sensorand—an actuatorthat is coupled to the optical elementso as to rotate the optical elementin order to allow soiling to be removed by a centrifugal effect.
