Abstract:
The invention concerns a module (10) for cleaning a device (3) for protection of an optical element having a surface of revolution around an axis of revolution, the cleaning module (10) including a wiper blade (11) configured to extend in a first general direction (D1) and including a wiper rubber (111) configured to extend in a second general direction (D2).
According to the invention:
the wiper rubber (111) is configured to wipe the surface of revolution during relative movement of rotation between the wiper blade (11) and the protection device (3), and
the cleaning module (10) further includes a cleaning liquid feed pipe (13) fixed to the wiper blade (11) and including at least one opening (131) for spraying cleaning liquid disposed in such a manner as to define a spraying direction forming an angle less than 15° with the second direction (D2).
The invention also concerns a corresponding driving assistance system.
