Abstract
The invention relates to a cleaning device (100) for projecting at least one fluid onto a surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, such as an optical sensor of an optical detection system, wherein a mobile piston (3) sliding in a hollow body (1) around a fixed rod extending along a longitudinal axis (X) and carrying at one end a cleaning fluid dispensing element (8, 9) enables the fluid to flow to the dispensing element (8, 9), through passage channels (12) arranged between the piston and the rod and having different axial dimensions.
