A wiper motor includes a reduction mechanism (26) contained in a reduction mechanism containing chamber (27) of a gear frame (21) and configured to reduce and transmit a rotation to a worm wheel (35); and a motion conversion mechanism (29) contained in a motion conversion mechanism containing chamber (30) of the gear frame (21) and configured to convert and output a rocking motion to an output shaft (28). A support surface (37) set up flush with the other end surface (35b) of the worm wheel (35) in the axial direction rotatably contained in the reduction mechanism containing chamber (27) is formed on the inner surface of the bottom wall (30a) of the motion conversion mechanism containing chamber (30). The support surface (37) is formed over the entire area facing a pinion gear (40) and the motion conversion member (41) on the bottom wall (30a) of the motion conversion mechanism containing chamber (30).

A tailgate structure is provided that includes: a tailgate that is made of resin and is arranged in an opening of a vehicle body; a wiper that wipes a glass arranged in the tailgate; and a lock device that fixes the tailgate to the vehicle body by being engaged with the opening in a state that the tailgate is closed, wherein the wiper is connected with the lock device by a reinforcing member.

A drive with a motor and devices for coupling the motor to a driving object. The coupling devices include a centrifugal mass which is movable by the motor, and an impact stop, which is connected to the driving object, for the centrifugal mass.

Disclosed is a rear camera module for a vehicle. The disclosed rear camera module includes a module cover mounted to a rear side of the vehicle such that a rotational shaft of a rear wiper is rotatably coupled to the module cover and a rear camera module installed at the module cover to photograph a rear-view image of the vehicle. The rear camera module can be easily and conveniently installed at the rear side of the vehicle.

Described herein is a rear zone module and rear zone controller that minimizes wire gauge and current draw. The rear zone module shares outputs amongst several functions including rear windshield wiper, heated back window, power liftgate controller and the like. These outputs can be shared because not all functions are required to be active at the same time. For example, a vehicle includes a rear zone module (RZM) that includes at least a power liftgate (PLG) module, heated back window module, and a rear window wiper module. The vehicle also includes a controller configured to selectively control current with respect to at least the PLG module, heated back window module, and a rear window wiper module. The interconnections between the RZM and controller are minimized by sharing the interconnections as the PLG module operates mutually exclusively from the heated back window and rear window wiper module.

A vehicle includes first and second window panels adjacent to each other and lying in the same plane, a wiper apparatus for wiping the first and second window panels, and a washer liquid nozzle unit for injecting washer liquids to the first and second window panels. The wiper apparatus has a pivot shaft and a wiper blade pivotable on the pivot shaft. The pivot shaft and the first window panel are located on the same side of a parting line between the first window panel and the second window panel. The washer nozzle unit has first and second nozzles, and is located on the same side of the parting line as the second window panel. The first nozzle injects a washer liquid to a wiped surface of the first window panel while the second nozzle injects a washer liquid to a wiped surface of the second window panel.

The present invention relates to a wiper motor drive system that includes a motor, an output shaft operatively connected to a wiper blade, and a breakaway clutch operatively connected between the motor and output shaft. The breakaway clutch includes a torque-sensitive releasable locking mechanism having a first position wherein torque is translated from the motor to the output shaft through the breakaway clutch to drive the wiper blade across a surface to be wiped, and a second position wherein torque is interrupted between the motor and the output shaft in response to a predetermined rotational torque differential acting on the output shaft, with the locking mechanism being movable back to the first position when the differential torque is reduced on the output shaft.

An electronic inner mirror device comprising a camera installed at a rear portion of a vehicle to acquire an image behind the vehicle, an electronic inner mirror that has two operation modes of an electronic mirror mode in which it displays the image and an optical mirror mode in which it reflects an area behind the vehicle, and a raindrop removing device that removes raindrops existing on a rear side of the vehicle with respect to the camera, and further comprises an electronic control unit that notifies an occupant or occupants that raindrops can be removed by the raindrop removing device when the operation modes are switched from the electronic mirror mode to the optical mirror mode in a situation where it is estimated that raindrops exist at a position other than the rear portion of the vehicle.
