To provide an on-vehicle optical sensor cleaning device capable of properly cleaning an external image pickup surface without disturbing imaging.SOLUTION: An on-vehicle optical sensor cleaning device injects cleaning fluid toward a lens 5c of an on-vehicle camera 5, which is mounted on a vehicle, from a jet orifice 11a, and removes a foreign matter adhering to the lens 5c. A movable nozzle 11 having the jet orifice 11a is provided in a forward and backward movable manner so as to move to a cleaning position where the jet orifice 11a gets close to an imaging range center of the on-vehicle camera 5 and a non-cleaning position where the jet orifice 11a gets farther away from the imaging range center than the cleaning position.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
【課題】撮像の邪魔にならずに外部撮像面を良好に洗浄することができる車載光学センサ洗浄装置を提供すること。【解決手段】車載光学センサ洗浄装置は、車両に搭載される車載カメラ5のレンズ5cに向けて噴射口11aから洗浄液を噴射して、レンズ5cに付着した異物を除去する。噴射口11aを有した可動ノズル11は、噴射口11aが車載カメラ5の撮像範囲中心に近づく洗浄位置と該洗浄位置よりも撮像範囲中心から遠のく非洗浄位置とに移動するように前後進可能に設けられる。【選択図】図3
