VARIABLE SWEEP ANGLE MOTOR DRIVE
20170174183 · 2017-06-22 ·

A windshield wiper system for an aircraft is provided and includes a motor, an output shaft, a wrap spring and crank rocker mechanism (WSCRM) to which the motor and the output shaft are coupled and a controller. By way of the WSCRM, first directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor via a two-stage gear reduction is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a first sweep angle and second directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a second sweep angle. The controller is configured to control the motor such that the first directional rotation is continuously or non-continuously input during first or second flight conditions, respectively, and the second directional rotation is continuously input during third flight conditions.

MULTI-AREA MEASURING RAIN SENSOR

A multi-area measuring rain sensor is provided with a reflection plate having different reflection angles, to reflect light emitted from a light emitter along different light paths, thereby measuring an amount or quantity of raindrops through sequential time division of light according to differences of the light paths of the reflected light. In particular, the multi-area measuring rain sensor is capable of forming, at a glass, sensing areas equal in number to a maximum number of light receivers, using light beams split from light emitted from each light emitter while having different reflection angles by the reflection plate, which has different reflection angles to reflect light emitted from the light emitter along the different light paths.

Rain sensor having frost sensing function

A rain sensor has a frost sensing function, and is attached to a windshield glass of a vehicle. The frost sensor includes a casing provided with a frost sensing region formed by recessing a part of the casing to contact indoor air; a light emitting unit that emits light such that the light is incident on the windshield glass; a light receiving unit that receives the light emitted from the light emitting unit and reflected from the windshield glass and the frost sensing region; and a control unit that outputs the light received by the light receiving unit as a control signal and activates a wiper and an air conditioner of the vehicle.

Vehicle wiper device

A vehicle wiper device includes: a first blade having an operating range that includes an upper mid region of a vehicle windshield; a second blade having an operating range that includes a lower region of the operating range of the first blade; a blade driving unit that causes each blade to reciprocate; and a controller that controls operation of the blade driving unit. When a tip end of the second blade moves in a special control region that is oriented toward a specific region preliminarily specified in the upper mid region, the controller controls the blade driving unit such that a moving speed of the second blade is lower than a moving speed of the second blade when moving in another region.
