Zusammenfassung:To achieve protection of an optical sensor of a driver supporting system for a motor vehicle.SOLUTION: An optical element 9 is arranged on the front side of an optical component 14 which an optical sensor 13 for capturing an image includes to protect the optical sensor from water, mud, flying stone or the like. The optical element is structured to rotate around a rotational axis A1 by an actuator and to clean itself by a centrifugal force effect. A heating element 7 heats the optical element to remove fogging or frosting on a surface of the optical element. Power feeding is performed for the heating element by an induction system 8.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】自動車両用の運転者支援システムの光学センサを保護する。【解決手段】光学要素9は、画像を捕捉する光学センサ13が備える光学部品14の前側に配置されて光学センサを水、泥、はね石などから保護する。光学要素は、アクチュエータにより回転軸A1を中心として回転し、遠心力効果により自己を洗浄可能に構成される。加熱素子7は、光学要素を加熱して光学要素の表面の曇りや霜を除去する。加熱素子へは、誘導システム8により給電が行われる。【選択図】図1
