An automatic vehicle window cleaning method and apparatus 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.

The present invention relates to a pivot assembly for a vehicle wiper system. The assembly includes a pivot shaft rotatably supported in central passage of a pivot housing, a lever coupled to the pivot shaft, and a cover. The cover includes a tubular portion, cylindrical step and a transition portion integrally formed between the tubular portion and the cylindrical step. The cover further includes a cantilever snap extending from inner surface of the transition portion, in longitudinal direction of the cover. A protrusion is formed in the cylindrical step at a location adjacent to the snap. The tubular portion of the cover is received over pivot shaft and a locking profile formed at free end of the snap is received in a recess formed in top end of the pivot housing, thereby restricting longitudinal and rotational movements of the cover with respect to the pivot housing.

A wiper apparatus for a vehicle reciprocally moves a wiper between a lower reverse position and an upper reverse position by reciprocally rotating a rotational shaft of a wiper motor. A wiper control apparatus for the wiper apparatus includes a processor that controls operation of the wiper. The processor switches operation of the wiper depending on a moving direction of the wiper when the processor receives a notification of prediction that the vehicle will collide with a person while the wiper is operating.

An exterior rear view device includes a head assembly and a base assembly configured to be mounted to a vehicle for moveably supporting the head assembly, the base assembly comprising a base frame, a base cover comprising a plurality of cover pieces that include at least a lower base cover, a base cover cap, and a glare shield, a first camera with a first lens that extends in a first direction through a first opening in the glare shield, a second camera with a second lens that extends in a second direction through a second opening in the lower base cover, and a cleaning system with a nozzle for dispensing a cleaning fluid onto the second lens.

An integrated sensor apparatus of a vehicle is provided that includes a light emitter that is configured to emit a light having an area of a predetermined range or greater to a first region of a windshield. A light receiver is configured to receive the light emitted by the light emitter and reflected from the first region of the windshield and an external light incident from the exterior to the windshield. Further, a light guider is configured to be attached to the windshield to guide the light emitted by the light emitter to be reflected from the first region of the windshield and arrive at the light receiver. An image sensor is configured to sense a plurality of image patterns from the light reflected by the first region of the windshield and the external light incident into the windshield from the exterior.

An optical sensor device for the detection of ambient light is adapted to be coupled to a pane (10), in particular to a windshield of a vehicle. The optical sensor device has a sensor unit which includes at least one light receiver (22) for ambient light and a lens plate (12) for directionally coupling an ambient light beam (26) out of the pane (10) onto the light receiver (22). The lens plate (12) has a surface (18) facing the light receiver (22) and oriented substantially parallel to the pane (10) in the coupled condition of the optical sensor device. The surface (18) includes a prism structure (20) having a plurality of single prisms (24) which are designed to direct the rays of a specific ambient light beam (26) defined by a principal direction (A) and an aperture angle onto the light receiver (22).

An engagement device of a wiper and a vehicle body may include a motor for driving the wiper; a motor bracket fixed to the motor; a cowl bracket fixed to the vehicle body corresponding to the motor bracket, and a mounting portion forming a fixing structure between the motor bracket and the cowl bracket, wherein the mounting portion comprises a protrusion protruded from the motor bracket or the cowl bracket, and a socket, the protrusion being inserted into and fixed to.
