Abstract: The present invention pertains to a camera cleaning assembly 10 for a vehicle, configured to remove dirt from a camera lens exterior surface 106. The cleaning assembly 10 comprises a slider assembly 20, a cleaning unit 30, a vacuum unit 40, and a control unit 50.

The vacuum unit generates suction through the cleaning unit 30 to remove dirt, maintaining optimum camera functionality. The camera cleaning assembly 10 ensures the cleanliness of the vehicle's camera lens, improving visibility and safety. FIG: 1
