본 발명의 자율주행차량에 적용된 커버순환방식 센서보호 장치(1)는 센서 셔터(1-1)를 포함하고, 상기 센서 셔터(1-1)는 이물질 오염된 전면부를 깨끗한 전면부로 위치 교한하도록 액추에이터(20)로 회전되는 센서커버(10), 상기 센서(50)가 위치되는 개방공간을 형성한 센서 하우징(40)에 결합되어 상기 센서커버(10)에 묻은 상기 이물질을 제거하는 와이퍼(30)로 구성됨으로써 눈/비의 환경조건에서도 자율주행 안전성확보를 위한 센서 성능이 유지되고, 특히 커버 투과성 확보를 위한 이물질 제거에 열선을 사용하지 않음으로써 커버재질제약 및 열선온도제약이 함께 해소되는 특징을 갖는다.
A sensor protection apparatus includes a first sensor cover movable between a sensor covering position and a first cover waiting position; a second sensor cover movable between the sensor covering position and a second cover waiting position, wherein each of the first and second sensor covers is located at the sensor covering position for protecting the surface of the sensor from being contaminated by foreign matter; and an actuator configured to move the first and second sensor covers such that the first sensor cover and the second sensor cover are alternately located at the sensor covering positions thereof.
