Abstract

The invention relates to a cleaning device (100) intended for spraying at least one fluid onto a surface to be cleaned of a motor vehicle, such as an optical sensor of an optical detection system, in which a movable piston (3), sliding inside a hollow body (1) about a stationary rod extending along a longitudinal axis (X) and carrying a cleaning fluid distribution element (8, 9) at one end, allows a fluid to be conveyed towards the distribution element (8, 9) via passage channels (12) arranged between the piston and the rod and having different axial dimensions.
