An apparatus embodied to detect the surroundings, in particular to detect the surroundings of a vehicle, is proposed, the apparatus comprising a sensor housing and at least one sensor that is arrangedwithin the sensor housing. The sensor housing comprises a transmission/reception window, through which corresponding sensor signals can be emitted into the surroundings by the sensor and/or through which sensor signals can be received from the surroundings. The apparatus comprises a cover, wherein the cover is embodied to be transparent to the sensor signals and wherein the cover is embodied to cover the transmission/reception window and hence the at least one sensor from exterior surroundings of the apparatus. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a cleaning unit that is arranged on an exterior side of the sensor housing and movable along the sensor housing by means of a drive unit. The cleaning unit is embodied to remove contaminants from the cover of the transmission/reception window. According to the invention, the cleaning unit is embodied as a space that is sealed in relation to the exterior surroundings.

    本发明提出一种构造用于环境感测、尤其用于车辆的环境感测的设备,所述设备具有传感器壳体和布置在所述传感器壳体内的至少一个传感器。所述传感器壳体具有发送/接收窗,通过所述发送/接收窗能够将相应的传感器信号从所述传感器发送到环境中和/或能够从环境接收传感器信号。所述设备具有遮盖件,其中,所述遮盖件构造为对所述传感器信号而言可透过,并且其中,所述遮盖件构造为用于,相对于所述设备的外部环境遮盖所述发送/接收窗并因此遮盖所述至少一个传感器。根据本发明,所述设备具有清洁单元,所述清洁单元布置在所述传感器壳体的外侧并且借助于驱动单元沿着所述传感器壳体能运动。所述清洁单元构造为用于,去除所述发送/接收窗的遮盖件的污染。根据本发明,所述清洁单元构造为相对于所述外部环境封闭的空间。
