Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle, the roof module having a panel component, whose outer surface forms at least sections of a roof skin of the motor vehicle, the roof skin acting as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, the roof module having at least one environment sensor which sends and/or receives electromagnetic signals for charting the vehicle environment via a see-through area and having at least one cleaning apparatus by which the see-through area is cleaned. The cleaning apparatus may have an essentially oblong nozzle body having a plurality of ejection nozzles and/or flow guiding contour formed by the panel component or by the environment sensor.

Abstract: A roof module for forming a vehicle roof on a motor vehicle, the roof module having a panel component, which at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof skin serving as an outer sealing surface of the roof module, at least one electrical and/or electronic and/or electromagnetic component, in particular an environment sensor and/or a light feature, configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a see-through area, and at least one cleaning feature having at least one cleaning nozzle configured to spray a cleaning fluid by means of which the see-through area is cleanable. The at least one component is in heat-transferring connection with the cleaning feature in such a manner that waste heat of the at least one component can be transferred to the cleaning fluid and/or the at least one cleaning nozzle.

Abstract: A see-through assembly for an environment sensor of a motor vehicle, the see-through assembly having at least one see-through area, a control feature, and a cleaning feature for cleaning the see-through area. The cleaning feature has a membrane spaced apart from an outer surface of the see-through area by a layer, or the see-through area has a shape-changing and/or volume-changing and/or thickness-changing excitation layer at least on its outer surface, the control feature being configured to cause the membrane to move in a predetermined manner relative to the outer surface of the see-through area or to cause the shape-changing and/or volume-changing and/or thickness-changing excitation layer to move in a predetermined manner so that foreign particles located on an outer surface of the membrane can be loosened and/or detached and/or removed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof module for forming a vehicle roof (100) on a motor vehicle, the roof module comprising a panel component (12) which at least partially forms a roof skin (14) of the vehicle roof (100) and serves as an outer sealing surface of the roof module (10), at least one sensor module (15) comprising a controller (27) and at least one environment sensor (16) configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals through a see-through area (20) in order to detect a vehicle environment, and at least one cleaning device (23) comprising at least one cleaning nozzle (24) configured to clean the see-through area (20). The at least one environment sensor (16) is configured to detect at least one object (28) moving toward the see-through area (20) in the form of image data, and the controller (27) is configured to generate at least one object information from the image data and to prompt the at least one cleaning nozzle (24) to discharge a cleaning fluid based thereon.
