Abstract
A distributing device for supplying pressurized liquid to individual cleaning locations of a vehicle is proposed, the distributing device defining individual positions into which a distributor is selectively adjustable relative to a housing in which the distributor is arranged and driveable. Here, the individual positions of the distributor include a multiplicity of distributing positions and a bypass position and a shut-off position. In the bypass position, the distributor forms a bypass for preventing a discharge of the liquid to one of the cleaning locations and for returning the liquid to a tank. By contrast, in the shut-off position, the distributor prevents both the discharge and the return. Also proposed are a liquid-distributing actuator, a cleaning device, a vehicle, and a method for operating the cleaning device.
