Electromagnetic windshield wiper system
An electromagnetic wiper system for a windshield of a vehicle includes a linear actuator, a wiper-arrangement, and control circuitry. The linear actuator includes at least one guide rail having permanent magnets and an electromagnetic moving block. The electromagnetic moving block includes at least one perforation that surrounds the at least one guide rail and at least one electromagnetic coil that surrounds the at least one perforation. The wiper-arrangement includes a wiper arm and a wiper blade, wherein at least the wiper arm is coupled to the electromagnetic moving block. The control circuitry controls a linear motion of the electromagnetic moving block along the at least one guide rail to steer the wiper arm that is coupled to the electromagnetic moving block back and forth across a length of the windshield to the windshield, wherein the electromagnetic moving block induces minimal friction during the linear motion.
Wiper system and a vehicle with such a wiper system
The present invention proposes a wiper system being capable of ensuring wiping quality for the windshields with complex surfaces. The wiper system comprises: a wiper arm (19), on which a wiper blade (12) for cleaning a surface (16) of an object to be cleaned is provided; a first electrical motor (1) driving the wiper arm (19) to swing; a second electrical motor (9); a sensor (13) measuring a parameter representing the position of the wiper arm on the object to be cleaned; a control unit (7) receiving said parameter from said sensor (13) and utilizing said parameter to control the rotation angle of the an output shaft (18) of the second electrical motor (9), such that the output shaft (18) drives rotate the wiper blade (12) under control to change the rotation angle of the central plane of the wiper blade with respect to the wiper arm. The present invention also proposes a vehicle comprising said wiper system.
Track-guided wiper system and method
A wiper system for use with a windshield includes a track guide, a wiper assembly, a drive mechanism and a wipe mechanism. The wiper assembly has a wiper arm attached at a first end thereof to a rotor rotatably disposed on a wiper carrier, wherein the wiper carrier is engaged with the track guide and is configured for translation therealong. The drive mechanism is connected with the wiper carrier and is configured for positioning the wiper carrier along the track guide. The wipe mechanism is connected with at least one of the rotor and the wiper carrier and is configured to cause the rotor to rotate, thereby causing the wiper arm to produce a wiping motion.

The wiper-arrangement includes a wiper arm and a wiper blade, wherein at least the wiper arm is coupled to the electromagnetic moving block. The control circuitry controls a linear motion of the electromagnetic moving block along the at least one guide rail to steer the wiper arm that is coupled to the electromagnetic moving block back and forth across a length of the windshield to the windshield, wherein the electromagnetic moving block induces minimal friction during the linear motion.
Wiper system for cleaning a vehicle window with high curvature
The present invention relates to a pantographic-type wiper system for cleaning a vehicle window that includes a drive attachment, a first arm, a second arm and a head configured to hold a wiper blade, where the first arm extends between the drive attachment and the head, where the second arm extends between a holding device attached to the drive attachment and the head, also characterized in that the wiper system includes a connecting body that links the first arm to the drive attachment and where the wiper system includes a pivot link (P) between the connecting body and the drive attachment and includes a rotational link (D) between the connecting body and the first arm; the wiper system also including at least a rotational device that allows motion around a first axis (A) that corresponds to a main elongation axis of the second arm between the head and the second arm or between the holding device and the second arm.
Rear beam arm and blade assembly
A stepped-designed beam arm wiper assembly has a beam arm that locks into a mounting head such that the beam arm can be disconnected from the mounting head for servicing a wiper blade attached to the beam arm. A head cover is attached to the mounting head via hinges on either side of the head cover which allow the head cover to open off the head on either pin hinges of the head, and can be pressed onto the head and retained on. The other end of the beam arm is inserted into an adapter which snaps onto a rear wiper blade coupler via lead-in hole and trunnion connection. The beam arm has an airfoil with a stepped design to match the head cover, adapter, and blade assembly stepped design.

Multifunction windshield wiper with distribution of fluid and air assembled with flexible joints
A multifunction windshield wiper includes a wiper arm, a wiper blade holder, and a wiper blade to facilitate, through channels, the direct distribution of the liquid or an air on the windshield surface. The direct distribution of the liquid and an air maximize the wiping effect and minimizes their usage. The wiper arm is assembled with wiper blade holder within the flexible spherical joints to refine the contact with a curved surface during the operational movement of the windshield wiper in the different weather conditions. The windshield wiper arm has a flexible joint with the link arm to facilitate the tension on the windshield surface during the wiping process.
