To provide a cleaning device that enables downsizing of a device size.SOLUTION: A cleaning device 5 includes a tubular portion 8 connected to a pipe portion 11, and a nozzle portion 9 fitted into the pipe portion 8 so as to be relatively movable. When a fluid is supplied from the pipe portion 11 to the tubular portion 8, the cleaning device 5 switches the nozzle portion 9 from the storage position to the cleaning position by the pressure, and ejects the fluid from an ejection port 18 at the tip of the nozzle portion 9. Due to the fluid, a lens surface 4 of a camera 3 which is an object to be cleaned 2 is cleaned. The nozzle portion 9 reciprocates between the storage position and the cleaning position along a curved path.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】装置サイズの小型化を可能にした洗浄装置を提供する。【解決手段】洗浄装置５は、配管部１１に接続された筒部８と、筒部８に対して相対移動可能に嵌め込まれたノズル部９とを備える。洗浄装置５は、配管部１１から筒部８に流体が供給されると、その圧力によってノズル部９が収納位置から洗浄位置に切り替わり、ノズル部９の先端の噴射口１８から流体を噴射する。この流体により、被洗浄物２であるカメラ３のレンズ面４が洗浄される。ノズル部９は、収納位置及び洗浄位置の間を、湾曲経路をとって往復動する。【選択図】図２
