PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To discourage bubbles generated by cleaning from remaining on a lens 11.SOLUTION: A control device 110 of a lens cleaning device 100 which, including a camera 10 mounted on an own vehicle V, cleans a lens 11 according to a predetermined lens cleaning step in which at least a discharging timing is regulated for discharging a cleaning liquid on the lens 11 provided in the camera 10, is equipped with a lens state determination part 38 which, on the basis of a photographed image photographed by the camera 10, determines whether or not the lens 11 is in a predetermined bubble sticking state in which a bubble is sticking to the lens 11. If it is determined that the lens 11 is in the predetermined bubble sticking state, an interval of discharge timings in the lens cleaning step is changed to be longer than an interval between discharge timings that is applied in a case where it is determined that the lens 11 is not in the predetermined bubble sticking state.

    【課題】洗浄により生じた泡がレンズ11に残留しないようにする。【解決手段】自車両Vに搭載されたカメラ10と、カメラ10が備えるレンズ11上に洗浄液を吐出する吐出タイミングが少なくとも規定された所定のレンズ洗浄工程に従い、レンズ11を洗浄するレンズ洗浄装置100の制御装置110は、カメラ10が撮像した撮像画像に基づいて、レンズ11に泡が付着した所定の泡付着状態であるか否かを判断するレンズ状態判断部38を備え、レンズ11が所定の泡付着状態であると判断された場合には、レンズ洗浄工程における吐出タイミングの間隔を、所定の泡付着状態でないと判断された場合に適用される吐出タイミングの間隔よりも長く変更する。【選択図】 図3
