Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method for automatically cleaning an optical lens mounted on a vehicle by spraying cleaning liquid in order to remove any type of dirt from the lens so that a clear image or optical signal can be captured anytime.SOLUTION: An air pump 5 including a variable volume compression chamber 16 is provided for compressing the air volume, and a cleaning liquid conduit tube 12 is communicated to a liquid nozzle 9 and the air pump 5 so that the air pump 5 can be actuated by the flow of the compressed cleaning liquid 21. The same flow of the compressed cleaning liquid 21 is used for cleaning an optical surface 3, and for blowing down droplets if there are any in an optical lens 3 by actuating the air pump 5 to generate an air jet flow. 【課題】車両に搭載された光学レンズを、クリアな画像または光学的信号がいつでも捕捉されうるようにレンズからどんなタイプの汚れでも除去するために、洗浄液を噴霧することによって自動洗浄するシステムおよび方法を提供する。【解決手段】空気の容積を加圧するための可変容積圧縮室１６を含む空気ポンプ５が設けられ、洗浄液導管１２が液体ノズル９と空気ポンプ５とに連通しているため、空気ポンプ５は加圧された洗浄液２１のフローによって作動されることができ、また、加圧された洗浄液２１の同じフローが、光学表面３を洗浄するためと、また、空気ポンプ５を作動させて空気の噴流を発生させて光学レンズ３に液滴があればそれを吹き落とすために使用される。【選択図】図３
