To provide a vehicle cleaning device which can highly maintain accuracy of environment recognition of a vehicle by removing dirt adhering to a window member of an optical sensor of the vehicle.SOLUTION: A vehicle cleaning device includes: a tank which stores cleaning fluid; a first injection device which injects the cleaning fluid toward a first window member S1a of a first optical sensor S1 mounted in a vehicle V; and a second injection device which injects the cleaning fluid or air toward a second window member S2a of a second optical sensor S2 arranged below the first optical sensor. The vehicle cleaning device starts each of the injection of the cleaning fluid to the first window member and the injection of the cleaning fluid or air to the second window member at prescribed timing when a prescribed cleaning request occurs, stops the injection of the cleaning fluid to the first window member when a prescribed time elapses after the start of the injection of the cleaning fluid to the first window member, and stops the injection of the cleaning fluid or air to the second window member when a prescribed time elapses after the stop of the injection of the cleaning fluid to the first window member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】車両の光学センサの窓部材に付着している汚れを除去して、車両の環境認識の正確度(精度)を高く保つことができる車両用洗浄装置を提供する。【解決手段】車両用洗浄装置は、洗浄液を貯留するタンクと、車両Vに搭載された第1光学センサS1の第1窓部材S1aに向けて、洗浄液を噴射する第1噴射装置と、第1光学センサの下方に配置された第2光学センサS2の第2窓部材S2aに向けて、洗浄液又は空気を噴射する第2噴射装置と、を備える。車両用洗浄装置は、所定の洗浄要求が発生したとき、所定のタイミングにて、第1窓部材への洗浄液の噴射、及び第2窓部材への洗浄液又は空気の噴射をそれぞれ開始し、第1窓部材への洗浄液の噴射を開始してから所定時間が経過したとき、第1窓部材への洗浄液の噴射を停止させ、第1窓部材への洗浄液の噴射を停止してから所定時間が経過したとき、第2窓部材への洗浄液又は空気の噴射を停止する。【選択図】図2
