Patent number: 10511748Abstract: An automotive camera including a camera lens with one or more conductive accumulators and a method of cleaning the camera lens using the conductive accumulators. The automotive camera includes a lens bezel coupled to the camera lens. The lens bezel may be coupled to the conductive accumulators. The conductive accumulators receive electric charge from a power supply of a vehicle and concentrate the electric charge on pointed ends of the conductive accumulators. The charged, pointed ends attract water particles away from the camera lens. The water particles accumulate at the conductive accumulators until gaining sufficient mass. When sufficient mass is gained, the water particles flow across the lens bezel and away from the camera lens.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2016Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventor: Matthew Barton
