An adhering substance removing device is configured to remove adhering substances on an exterior member of a vehicle body. The device includes a vibration generator and a vibration transmitting member. The vibration generator is configured to generate vibrations. The vibration transmitting member includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface faces the exterior member. The second surface is inclined with an acute angle relative to the first surface. The vibration generator is mounted on the second surface. The vibration transmitting member is softer than the exterior member. The vibration transmitting member is configured to generate surface waves that advance in a predetermined direction in the exterior member.

A wiper arm device (10a; 10b) having at least one wiper arm adapter (12a; 12b), having at least one fluidic coupling element (18a; 18b) for forming a fluidic connection with at least one wiper blade (62a; 62b), having at least one wiper arm rod (14a; 14b), having at least one fluid line (16a, 16a′; 16b, 16b′) for transporting wiper fluid along the wiper arm rod (14a; 14b) to the fluidic coupling element (18a; 18b), and having an electrical heating line (20a, 20a′; 20b) which is arranged in the fluid line (16a, 16a′; 16b, 16b′) for heating the fluid line (16a, 16a′; 16b, 16b′). The heating line (20a, 20a′; 20b) extends through the at least one fluid line (16a, 16a′; 16b, 16b′) and is deflected at the fluidic coupling element (18a; 18b) to form a return through the fluid line (16a, 16a′; 16b, 16b′).

This application provides an automatic vehicle window cleaning method and apparatus, used to detect a foreign object on a vehicle window based on a value of a pixel in a vehicle window image, and perform automatic cleaning. The method includes: obtaining a vehicle window image; determining a dark channel image corresponding to a single frame of vehicle window image; further determining, based on a quantity of pixels whose gray values exceed a preset gray threshold in the dark channel image and/or definition of the dark channel image, that a first-type foreign object exists on a vehicle window; and/or determining, based on RGB values of pixels in i consecutive frames of vehicle window images, that a second-type foreign object exists on the vehicle window; and controlling a cleaning tool to remove a foreign object. The foreign object includes the first-type foreign object and/or the second-type foreign object.

A defogging device includes a heating wire configured to heat a windshield. The heating wire includes a plurality of parallel arrangement portions generally parallel to each other and provided such that respective intermediate parts, in the longitudinal direction, of the parallel arrangement portions are placed inside a field angle region. The parallel arrangement portions include two adjacent parallel arrangement portions provided such that respective first ends, in the longitudinal direction, of the two adjacent parallel arrangement portions are connected to each other via a connecting portion outside the field angle region, and respective second ends of the two adjacent parallel arrangement portions are separated from each other without being connected to each other. The second ends of the two adjacent parallel arrangement portions are connected to heat-amount supplement portions provided outside the field angle region and projecting toward their respective counterparts out of the two adjacent parallel arrangement portions.
