Wiper device for vehicle and control method thereof
12447930 · 2025-10-21 · ·

A vehicle wiper device includes: a wiper motor; a control unit that drives the wiper motor to be reciprocally rotated and controls a rotation speed of the wiper motor; and a wiper reciprocally rotating to wipe a wiped surface of a vehicle with a blade rubber, in which a tilt direction of a lip part of the blade rubber changes when a rotation direction is reversed. The control unit accelerates a rotation speed of the wiper motor, in a first acceleration section, from 0 to a first speed which is a low speed at a first average acceleration, and to rapidly accelerate the rotation speed of the motor, in a first half of a second acceleration section, to reach a speed which is higher than the first speed and times of a second speed at an average acceleration which is twice or more of the first average acceleration.

The disclosure provides a cleaning way for a vehicle sensor, the vehicle sensor has a viewport. The cleaning way includes steps of: controlling the vehicle sensor to scan the viewport to obtain viewport data of the vehicle sensor when the vehicle enters a cold start phase; determining whether dirt exists on the viewport based on the viewport data and predetermined dirt features; and controlling a cleaning device to clean the viewport when dirt on the viewport is detected. Additionally, the disclosure further provides a cleaning system for a vehicle sensor and a vehicle.

METHOD FOR ICE PREVENTION VIA TELEMETRY AND OTHER DATA ELEMENTS

A method for ice prevention includes detecting that a vehicle is parked in an unenclosed location and receiving sensor data for the vehicle. The sensor data indicates a current environment of the vehicle and a predicted environment of the vehicle. The method also includes determining, based on the sensor data, whether ice prevention for the vehicle is needed to prevent ice from forming on the vehicle. When ice prevention for the vehicle is needed, the method also includes determining whether a power source of the vehicle exceeds a threshold, executing an ice mitigation model to generate an ice mitigation strategy for the vehicle, and initiating the ice mitigation strategy for the vehicle while the vehicle is parked.

Motor device

WIPING DEVICE

Provided is a wiping device. The wiping device includes a pair of wiper blades that reciprocate between a lower inversion position and an upper inversion position on a wiped surface; a pair of motors that drive the pair of wiper blades respectively; and a control unit that controls the pair of motors. The control unit estimates a load of one of the motors that drives, among the pair of wiper blades, one wiper blade that moves first at operation start as a load estimation amount, and corrects the upper inversion position in a direction closer to the lower inversion position based on the load estimation amount.

Vehicle glass clearing management system

A vehicle includes a glass clearing system that performs method of clearing a glass surface of a vehicle. The vehicle includes a glass surface. The glass clearing system includes a glass clearing device and a processor. The glass clearing device is configured for clearing a glass surface. The processor receives a signal from a remote device indicative of an instruction for operating the glass clearing device, selects the glass clearing device, and activates the glass clearing device to clear the glass surface based on the instruction.
