A wiping device for wiping an optical element clean of water or of particles includes a housing and a wiping element able to undergo a movement with respect to the housing, where the wiping device is configured to move in such a manner that such movement is caused by coupling a first unit in or on the wiping element with a second unit in the housing via a time-variable electromagnetic field. The wiping device may be used for wiping the surface of a lens or of a window, which lens or window is transmissive to visible light, ultraviolet radiation, and/or infrared radiation, and is preferably placed in front or as part of a camera. In addition, a rear view device or driver assistant device for use in or on a vehicle including such a wiping device, and a method for wiping an optical element are provided.

WIPER APPARATUS AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME

The present invention comprises an AS-side wiper motor 40 including an AS-side output shaft 83 that is rotated in forward and backward directions and a link mechanism 60 constituted by a four-bar link. The AS-side wiper member 50 is configured to wipe in a first AS-side wipe range 11b by a pivotal movement of the AS-side output shaft 83 in a first angular range SA1, and wipe in a second AS-side wipe range 11c by a pivotal movement of the AS-side output shaft 83 in a second angular range SA2 that differs from the first angular range SA1. The wipe range of the AS-side wiper member 50 can thus be switched between the first AS-side wipe range 11b and the second AS-side wipe range 11c by controlling an angular range, in which the AS-side output shaft 83 is pivotally moved, to be in the first angular range SA1 or the second angular range SA2 that differ from each other. In addition, a size of the wipe range can be adjusted by controlling a pivot angle of the AS-side output shaft 83 in forward and backward directions.

Vehicular wiper device

A vehicular wiper device includes a first wiper arm, a first drive source, a rocking mechanism, a second drive source, an extension and retraction mechanism, and a control unit. A first wiper blade for wiping a surface to be wiped of a vehicle is connected to the front end of the first wiper arm. The first drive source is directly or indirectly affixed to the vehicle body. The rocking mechanism is driven by the drive force of the first drive source and reciprocates and rocks the first wiper arm. The second drive source is directly or indirectly affixed to the vehicle body separately from the first drive source. The extension and retraction mechanism is driven by the drive force of the second drive source and extends and retracts the first wiper arm in the longitudinal direction thereof. The control unit controls the drive of the first drive source and the second drive source so that the extension and retraction operation of the first wiper arm performed by the extension and retraction mechanism will correspond to the rocking operation of the first wiper arm performed by the rocking mechanism.
