Optical or optoelectronic device having a cleaning device

1. An optical or optoelectronic device, comprising:

a housing;

at least one transparent cover;

a cleaning device for cleaning a surface of the at least one transparent cover with a fluid cleaning agent, the cleaning device including at least one nozzle arranged in the housing, the at least one nozzle having an outlet opening, from which a jet of cleaning agent exits along a spray axis; and

a reflector, which is at least temporarily or permanently arranged at a first distance from the outlet opening and at a second distance from the surface of the at least one transparent cover, and facing the outlet opening, wherein the reflector and the at least one nozzle are separate components spaced apart from each other;

wherein the jet of cleaning agent is directed against the reflector, so that the jet of cleaning agent is reflected by the reflector and is deflected onto the surface of the at least one transparent cover as at least two essentially flat spray jets, which are separated from one another in a circumferential direction with respect to the spray axis and are oriented in different radial directions on the surface of the at least one transparent cover.

2. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 1 wherein the optical or optoelectronic device has at least a first and a second area to be cleaned, which are spatially separated from one another, wherein each area is respectively assigned to a separate functional unit, each with at least one optical axis of its own.

3. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cleaning device is designed for the simultaneous cleaning of the areas and wherein each area is wetted by one of the at least two essentially flat spray jets.

4. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the spray jets are separated and shaped by webs which extend from the reflector essentially in the direction of the surface of the at least one transparent cover and are at a radial distance from the spray axis, so that between two adjacent webs in the circumferential direction there is a breakthrough for the exiting of one spray jet in each case.

5. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the webs define an axial distance between the reflector and the surface of the at least one transparent cover.

6. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each spray jet covers in the circumferential direction essentially a sector of a circle with a defined center angle, wherein the cumulative sum of the defined center angles is at least 180°.

7. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the cumulative sum of the defined center angles is at least 200°.

8. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one nozzle is arranged essentially between the functional units.

9. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one transparent cover covers at least two functional units.

10. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the optical or optoelectronic device is a LiDAR (Light/Laser Detection And Ranging) device, wherein a first functional unit is a receiver unit for detecting a reflected laser beam and a second functional unit is a transmission unit for emitting a laser beam.

11. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflector is essentially disk-shaped.

12. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the reflector is arranged on a lifting device, which moves the reflector from a retracted state not ready for spraying into an extended state ready for spraying, wherein the reflector is positioned essentially flush with the surface of the at least one transparent cover in the retracted state and axially at a distance from the surface of the at least one transparent cover in the extended state.

13. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the at least one nozzle is formed such that it is coupled to the lifting device, so that it is retracted and extended together with the lifting device.

14. The optical or optoelectronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first distance and the second distance are the same.
