Next, lid 40,80 will be described.
The lid 40 of present embodiment partly covers the top surface of Wiper arm 20 and the top surface of Wiper blade 30.Lid 80 partly covers the top surface of Wiper arm 60 and the top surface of Wiper blade 70.Here, top surface is meant the opposed surface of the glass-side surfaces that (with the wipe surfaces opposite surfaces) and glass 1 are relative.In the present embodiment, lid 40,80 integrally extends from the end portion of retainer 23,63, and retainer 23,63 has roughly boot-shaped section, has lower openings at this boot- shaped section.Lid 40,80 descends towards its end side.Lid 40,80 covers the top surface of Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70, simultaneously arm spare 25,65 is held wherein.Here, lid 40,80 can be independent of retainer 23,63 and form, and can be installed on the Wiper arm 20,60.Replacedly, lid 40,80 can be configured to be installed on the Wiper blade 30,70.
Fig. 6 A shows the Wiper blade 30,70 that is placed on bottom turned position P1a, P2a respectively.Under this state, Wiper blade 30,70 has vertically superimposed R, and arranges on Width with being substantially parallel to each other.
Lid 40 extends beyond point (mid point of superimposed R) between the end portion that connecting pin 31 arrives connecting pins 31 and Wiper blade 30 from the end of retainer 23.As shown in Figure 6A, Wiper blade 30 is roughly parallel to the bearing of trend A1 of Wiper arm 20 and lid 40, but it is positioned at upside along the Width B1 of lid 40 and Wiper arm 20 and lid 40 preset distance that staggers.That is the transverse center that is positioned at the transverse center of Wiper blade 30 of upside and Wiper arm 20 and lid 40 preset distance that on the Width B1 of the lid shown in Fig. 6 A 40, staggers.Therefore, a horizontal sidepiece of lid 40 (top among Fig. 6 A half horizontal side part) covers the top surface of Wiper blade 30, and this horizontal sidepiece is the horizontal sidepiece of lid 40 relative with Wiper blade 70 on the Width B1 of lid 40.
Lid 80 extends beyond point (mid point of superimposed R) between the end portion that connecting pin 71 arrives connecting pins 71 and Wiper blade 70 from the end of retainer 63.As shown in Figure 6A, Wiper blade 70 is roughly parallel to the bearing of trend A2 (bearing of trend A2 is roughly parallel to bearing of trend A1) of Wiper arm 60 and lid 80, but it is positioned at downside along the Width B2 of lid 80 and Wiper arm 60 and lid 80 preset distance that staggers.Therefore, a horizontal sidepiece of lid 80 (bottom among Fig. 6 A half horizontal side part) covers the top surface of Wiper blade 70, and this horizontal sidepiece is the horizontal sidepiece of lid 80 relative with Wiper blade 30 on the Width B2 of lid 80.
The lower corners of the end portion 41 of lid 40 is cut at a predetermined angle, and the upper corner of the end portion 81 of lid 80 is cut at a predetermined angle.
In the present embodiment, lid 40,80 is mutually the same, and respectively in left side and right side symmetric arrangement.According to present embodiment, like this, the element of available same type makes the commonality of element improve as lid 40 and lid 80.
Fig. 6 B shows the Wiper blade 30 that is placed on storage location P1c.At this moment, the end portion 41,81 of lid 40,80 and is arranged in the vertical at a distance of very little distance X toward each other, makes lid 40,80 be retained roughly and extends point-blank, so that the outward appearance of one is provided.
Under this state, the above-mentioned state when being placed on bottom turned position P1a, P2a respectively to Wiper blade 30,70 is similar, and Wiper blade 30,70 has vertically superimposed R.Above-mentioned state when being placed on bottom turned position P1a, P2a respectively with Wiper blade 30,70 is compared, Wiper blade 30,70 Width (B1, more close each other on B2), and be arranged to be substantially parallel to each other.In the present embodiment, although Wiper blade 30,70 is arranged to be substantially parallel to each other, Wiper blade 30,70 there is no need parallel fully each other.
At this moment, the part (i.e. the part that is not covered by lid 80) that the end from lid 80 of the horizontal sidepiece of lid 40 (the half horizontal side part of the bottom among Fig. 6 B) covering Wiper blade 70 protrudes, the horizontal sidepiece of aforementioned lid 40 is positioned at Wiper blade 70 sides on the Width B1 of lid 40.At this moment, the part (i.e. the part that is not covered by lid 40) that the end from lid 40 of the horizontal sidepiece of lid 80 (the half horizontal side part of the top among Fig. 6 B) covering Wiper blade 30 protrudes, the horizontal sidepiece of aforementioned lid 80 is positioned at Wiper blade 30 sides on the Width B2 of lid 80.
Fig. 7 shows along the cutaway view of the line VII-VII of Fig. 6 B.As shown in Figure 7, lid 80 can cover the top surface of Wiper blade 30 and the top surface of Wiper blade 70.
As mentioned above, according to present embodiment, lid 40,80 is cooperated each other so that cover the top surface of the Wiper arm 20,60 of Wiper blade 30,70 continuously, fully.
The end portion 41 of lid 40 and the end portion 81 of lid 80 are cut so that tiltedly extend in roughly the same direction updip with roughly the same angle, make that when watching end portion 41 and end portion 81 mutually each end portion 41,81 relative another end portion 41,81 forms undercut shape (to the shape of incision).Therefore, when lid 40 when upper position moves to storage location P1c, end portion 41 and end portion 81 can not interfered each other, and can reduce the interval between end portion 41 and the end portion 81 so that place more closely each other to them.That is, when the end surface of end portion 41,81 when extending on the direction longitudinally, the interval that then needs to provide bigger endways between the part 41,81 is to avoid mutual interference.Yet as present embodiment, when end portion 41,81 formed undercut shape, the interval between the end portion 41,81 can significantly be reduced.
When Wiper system W was placed on the storage location, Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 were transversely arranged continuously vehicle, make that Wiper blade 30,70 is not obvious because Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 are arranged on the horizontal T of vehicle continuously.Further, in the present embodiment, lid 40,80 transversely covers Wiper blade 30,70 continuously vehicle, makes when the front side of vehicle is watched, and almost cannot see the existence of Wiper blade 30,70 or can not be found substantially.Therefore, improved the overall appearance of Wiper system W with respect to car body.

In the present embodiment, pivotal axis 13 and the 4th connecting rod 114 coaxially to each other, the central axis of pivotal axis 13 is consistent with the central axis of the 4th connecting rod 114.Further, although pivotal axis 13 is fixed to first connecting rod 101, pivotal axis 13 is rotating with respect to the 4th connecting rod 104.Therefore, the 4th connecting rod 104 is not directly synchronous with the rotation of pivotal axis 13.
Second connecting rod 102 has extendible portion 102a, and it is set to an end portion of second connecting rod 102 and extends beyond first connecting rod 111.The arm head 21 of Wiper arm 20 is formed on or is connected to this extendible portion 102a.In the present embodiment, the mode that is approximately perpendicular to the bearing of trend of extendible portion 102a with the bearing of trend of Wiper arm 20 is connected to extendible portion 102a with Wiper arm 20.
Further, conjugate foramen 102b is formed on another end portion of second connecting rod 102, makes an end of tension spring 106 engage with conjugate foramen 102b in the position that exceeds second adapter shaft 112.
Bonding part 104a extends beyond the 3rd adapter shaft 113 in an end portion of the 4th connecting rod 104.Hill holder 105 protrudes at gear unit 12 places.When pivotal axis 13 turned to predetermined corner (predetermined angular position), hill holder 105 engaged with bonding part 104a.
Further, conjugate foramen 104b is formed on another end portion of the 4th connecting rod 104, makes another end of tension spring 106 engage with conjugate foramen 104b in the position that exceeds the 4th adapter shaft 114.
As mentioned above, an end of tension spring 106 and the other end engage with the conjugate foramen 102b of second connecting rod 102 and the conjugate foramen 104b of the 4th connecting rod 104 respectively.Therefore, tension spring 106 applies predetermined propulsive effort always for four-bar mechanism 100a, so that drive second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 is close mutually.Like this, four-bar mechanism 100a is retained formation parallelogram (referring to Fig. 8) roughly.Under the state of this almost parallel quadrangle form, the distance of the center to center between second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 is shorter than the distance of the center to center between first adapter shaft 111 and the 3rd adapter shaft 113.In the present embodiment, tension spring 106 is used as actuating device, makes the axial dimension of pivotal axis 13 minimize, and travel mechanism 100 is formed relatively simply and compact conformation.
Further, rotate (promptly on the direction opposite at pivotal axis 13 with the wiping scope, rotate along the clockwise direction among Fig. 9 A) serviceability under, when the wiping load was applied to wiping motion that Wiper blade 30 causes Wiper blade 30 and is prevented from, tension spring 106 was accepted the external force that causes around the torque that pivotal axis 13 applies.In the present embodiment, preestablish above-mentioned predictable wiping load.Even the propulsive effort of tension spring 106 is configured to the stretching of restriction tension spring 106 when default wiping load is applied on the tension spring 106.In other words, the propulsive effort of tension spring 106 is configured to limit the remarkable increase at the interval between second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 when the wiping load is equal to or less than scheduled volume, the wiping motion that aforementioned wiping loads on Wiper blade 30 begins to be applied to Wiper blade 30 from wipe surfaces on the direction.Like this, according to present embodiment, in normal wiping motion, tension spring 106 can significantly not stretched, and makes four-bar mechanism 100a maintain its normal shape, so that make the characteristic of Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 keep stable.
In the present embodiment, the planeness of the parallelogram of four-bar mechanism 100a is determined by the length that tension spring 106 records under relaxed state.Replacedly, can by between first connecting rod 101 and the third connecting rod 103 in the contact on the Width or determine the planeness of the parallelogram of four-bar mechanism 100a by the contact between second connecting rod 102 when four-bar mechanism 100a changes and the 4th connecting rod 104.
In the present embodiment, tension spring 106 is used as actuating device.Replacedly, can use other devices, as long as can driving four-bar mechanism 100a, it make second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 mutually near (or replacedly, need only its can drive four-bar mechanism 100a win adapter shaft 111 and the 3rd adapter shaft 113 are left mutually).For example, a bonding part can be set to first adapter shaft 111, and another bonding part can be set to the 3rd adapter shaft 113.Then, the end of compression spring can be connected to this two bonding parts.Further, do not use tension spring or compression spring, can use torsion spring (torsion).In this case, torsion spring is provided with around second adapter shaft 112.One end of torsion spring can be connected to second connecting rod 102, and the other end of torsion spring can be connected to third connecting rod 103.Like this, with reference to figure 8, second connecting rod 102 is driven along clockwise direction around second adapter shaft 112, and third connecting rod 103 is driven in the counterclockwise direction around second adapter shaft 112.Therefore, third connecting rod 103 is driven in the counterclockwise direction.Therefore, propulsive effort is applied to that four-bar mechanism 100a go up to drive second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 is close mutually.Except second adapter shaft 112, torsion spring also can be arranged on first adapter shaft 111, the 3rd adapter shaft 13 and the 4th adapter shaft 114.
Next, the operation of the travel mechanism 100 of present embodiment will be described with reference to figure 9A-9C.In the following description, with reciprocal wiping motion of explanation and motion from reciprocal wiping position to the storage location.Since motion from the storage location to the wiping position and reverse movement from reciprocal wiping position to the storage location, therefore, in order to simplify not explanation.
Fig. 9 A display control switch 90 is exported the state of the drive signal of operating the W1 of rain brush mechanism continuously and the wiping scope P1 between Wiper blade 30 reciprocal wiping bottom turned position P1a and the top turned position P1b.At this moment, in travel mechanism 100, close mutually by drive force second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 that utilize tension spring 106, four-bar mechanism 100a forms parallelogram.
Fig. 9 B shows the tetragonal state of four-bar mechanism 100a keeping parallelism, and the bonding part 104a of the 4th connecting rod 104 engages with hill holder 105.According to present embodiment, at this moment, Wiper blade 30 is configured to be placed on bottom turned position P1a, and Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 are placed with in the horizontal direction and integrally extend.
In the present embodiment, when engaging between bonding part 104a and the hill holder 105, Wiper blade 30 is placed on bottom turned position P1a.Replacedly, with before hill holder 105 will soon engage, the position of bonding part 104a can be configured to corresponding with bottom turned position P1a.Like this, in normal wiping operation, bonding part 104a will often not engage with hill holder 105, makes it possible to the generation that restriction engages sound (strike note).
Move under the situation of halted state from serviceability (Fig. 9 A) at the W1 of rain brush mechanism, controller 90 output drive signals are given Wiper motor 10, pivotal axis 13 is gone up from state shown in Fig. 9 B at the direction Va opposite with the wiping scope (clockwise direction among Fig. 9 B) rotated predetermined corner.
When pivotal axis 13 rotated on the direction opposite with the wiping scope, the first connecting rod 101 that is fixed to pivotal axis 13 was gone up swing in the direction (clockwise direction) opposite with the wiping scope.Further, third connecting rod 103 synchronously rotates with first connecting rod 101, makes third connecting rod 103 swing around the 3rd adapter shaft 113 when keeping the almost parallel relation with first connecting rod 101.
At this moment, bonding part 104a engages with hill holder 105, makes the rotation of the 4th connecting rod 104 be limited.Therefore because the rotation of first connecting rod 101 and third connecting rod 103, four-bar mechanism 100a from the state exchange that forms parallelogram to the state that forms rectangle.Because this conversion, the distance of the center to center between second adapter shaft 112 and the 4th adapter shaft 114 increases, so tension spring 106 is stretched.In other words, the shape of the tension force four-bar mechanism 100a by overcoming tension spring 106 is changed to rectangle.
When this variation takes place, be connected to second connecting rod 102 motion of translation on the direction opposite of first connecting rod 101 and third connecting rod 103, to keep the almost parallel relation between second connecting rod 102 and the 4th connecting rod 104 with the wiping scope.Then, be connected to Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 motion of translation when keeping their horizontal attitudes of second connecting rod 102.
Fig. 9 C shows the state when Wiper blade 30 is placed on storage location P1c.In this embodiment, the alteration of form of four-bar mechanism 100a changes to parallelogram thereafter again to rectangle.
As mentioned above, the travel mechanism 100 of present embodiment can make Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 move to storage location P1c from bottom turned position P1a stably translational, and is keeping their horizontal attitude when pivotal axis 13 rotates.
Further, in the present embodiment, controller 90 rotates Wiper motor 10 forward and backward by servocontrol at a predetermined angle.Like this, controller 90 reciprocally rotates pivotal axis 13 and Wiper arm 20 with predetermined corner.Further, in the present embodiment, controller 90 makes Wiper motor 10 back and forth rotate predetermined angular outside the wiping scope, makes and comes approximate horizontal mobile Wiper arm 20 in ground and Wiper blade 30 by operation travel mechanism 100.
Therefore, according to present embodiment,, can relatively easily set the reciprocal rotation of reciprocal wiping motion and the predetermined rotation of stop motion by using controller 90.Further, the variation that this corner is set need not the variation of mechanism structure, and the variation of software that can be by controller 90 realizes.
In the present embodiment, four-bar mechanism 100a forms parallelogram at storage location P1c.Replacedly, four-bar mechanism 100a can be configured to form rectangle at storage location P1c.By suitable setting, the translation preset distance can be set to expectation value.
Further, the travel mechanism 100 of present embodiment is configured to be driven by Wiper motor 10.When travel mechanism 100 made Wiper arm 20 motion of translations, preferably Wiper motor 10 was with low relatively rotational speed.Like this, in the storage location, it is low relatively that the moving velocity of lid 40 becomes, and make the lid 40 that force of inertia causes and the collision of lid 80 be limited, so lid 40 can move by stationary mode.
Now, will the variation of first embodiment be described.
In first embodiment, travel mechanism 100 only is arranged among the W1 of rain brush mechanism.Replacedly, travel mechanism 100 can be set among the W2 of rain brush mechanism.When travel mechanism 100 was set to two W1 of rain brush mechanism, W2, Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 can move to storage location P1c, P2c respectively, keep their horizontal attitude simultaneously.
In first embodiment, Wiper system W has two rain brush mechanisms.Yet the quantity of the rain brush mechanism of Wiper system W is not limited to two, becomes into three or more if desired.
In first embodiment, lid 40 is identical with lid 80, is the element of same type therefore.Lid 40 covers half of Wiper blade 30,70 superimposed R in the vertical, and lid 80 covers second half of Wiper blade 30,70 superimposed R in the vertical.This can Figure 10 A-Figure 11 B shown in mode change.
In the variation of Figure 10 A and Figure 10 B, shown in Figure 10 A, lid 40A, 80A are set to Wiper arm 20,60 respectively.For such enforcement, extend to lid 40A terminad and be positioned at some place of Wiper blade 30 terminal fwds a little, so that cover the top surface of Wiper blade 30 fully.Lid 80A cover Wiper blade 70 top surface the cardinal extremity part relatively than the zonule, make the length of lid 80A can make shorter relatively.
In this variation example, when Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 from bottom turned position P1a (Figure 10 A) when moving to storage location P1c, shown in Figure 10 B, lid 40A, 80A be placed with vehicle transversely linearly, extend continuously.Therefore, Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 are roughly covered by lid 40A, 80A fully.At this moment, superimposed R fully covered by lid 40A.Like this, when Wiper blade 70 was designed to the part of reciprocal wiping operator's seat side glass 1, lid 80A can not move through driver vision, made driver vision can not be subjected to stopping of lid 80A.
Figure 11 A and 11B show another variation example of first embodiment.Compare with the above-mentioned variation example shown in Figure 10 B with Figure 10 A, the length that is set to the lid 40B of Wiper arm 20 is made the length that is shorter than the lid 80B that is set to Wiper arm 60.Lid 40B cover to cover Wiper blade 30 top surface the cardinal extremity part relatively than the zonule, make the length of lid 40B can make shorter relatively.On the contrary, extend to lid 80B terminad and be positioned at some place of Wiper blade 70 terminal fwds a little, so that cover the top surface of Wiper blade 70 fully.
In the variation example shown in Figure 11 A and the 11B, when Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 from bottom turned position P1a (Figure 11 A) when moving to storage location P1c, shown in Figure 11 B, lid 40B, 80B be placed with vehicle transversely linearly, extend continuously.Therefore, Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 are roughly covered by lid 40B, 80B fully.At this moment, superimposed R fully covered by lid 80B.Like this, when Wiper blade 30 was designed to the part of reciprocal wiping operator's seat side glass 1, lid 40B can not move through driver vision, made driver vision can not be subjected to stopping of lid 40B.
Change in the example in each shown in Figure 10 A-Figure 11 B, although the length of lid 40A, 80A, 40B, 80B differs from one another, comprise that the top surface of Wiper arm 20,60 of superimposed R and the top surface of Wiper blade 30,70 can be covered by these lids 40A, 80A, 40B, 80B effectively.Further, as long as the top surface of the top surface of Wiper arm 20,60 and Wiper blade 30,70 can the tegmentum subcovering, the length that can suitably regulate lid is to prevent to stop driver vision.
(second embodiment)
Below with reference to Figure 12 A explanation second embodiment of the present invention, and its variation example is described with reference to figure 12B and Figure 12 C.Here, please note in second embodiment and embodiment subsequently, will represent with identical mark,, just do not further specifying in order to simplify with the element that first embodiment is similar.
In first embodiment, Wiper system W is the opposed type rain brush.Yet, the invention is not restricted to this.Especially, shown in Figure 12 A, be the tandem Wiper system according to the Wiper system of second embodiment, two rain brush mechanisms begin the reciprocally swinging wiping from cooresponding storage location with common direction.

At the place, storage location, Wiper blade 30C, 70C form vertically superimposed Rc, and transversely arranging with the adjoining land that concerns of almost parallel at vehicle.In the storage location, Wiper blade 30C is placed on the pivotal axis 53C, and the cardinal extremity of lid 80C partly is placed on lid 40C below and extends with lid 40C almost parallel ground.Further, around the end of lid 40C, lid 80C is up crooked, and the bearing of trend along lid 40C extends continuously from lid 40C then.
In Figure 12 A, lid 40C cover superimposed Rc roughly half, lid 80C cover superimposed Rc roughly remaining half.
The variation example of Wiper system shown in Figure 12 B displayed map 12A.The length of the lid 40C of Figure 12 B is made the length of the lid 40C that is shorter than Figure 12 A.Compare with Figure 12 A, the lid 80C of Figure 12 B is at the location bending of the cardinal extremity part of more close lid 80C.Like this, in Figure 12 B, superimposed Rc roughly all covered by lid 80C.
Another of Wiper system shown in Figure 12 C displayed map 12A changes example.The length of the lid 40C of Figure 12 C is made the length of the lid 40C that is longer than Figure 12 A.Compare with Figure 12 A, the lid 80C of Figure 12 C is at the location bending of the end portion of more close lid 80C.Like this, in Figure 12 C, superimposed Rc roughly all covered by lid 40C.
When having structure shown in Figure 12 A-Figure 12 C, even in the tandem Wiper system, in the storage location, lid 40C, 80C are placed in the vertical linear extension continuously, so that cover Wiper arm 20C, whole length of 60C and whole length of Wiper blade 30C, 70C.
(the 3rd embodiment)
Now, will the third embodiment of the present invention be described with reference to figure 13-16.
In first embodiment, Wiper arm 20,60 is driven independently by Wiper motor 10,50 independently respectively.Yet, the invention is not restricted to this.
Shown in Figure 13-15, comprise 30,70, two lids 40,80 of 20,60, two Wiper blades of two Wiper arms and travel mechanism 100 according to the Wiper system W of the 3rd embodiment.As substituting of Wiper motor 10,50, the Wiper system W of present embodiment comprises Wiper motor 200 and connecting rod mechanism 210.
Wiper motor 200 is electrical motors, and its uniaxially rotates so that reciprocally swing Wiper arm 20,60.Replacedly, Wiper motor 200 can rotate so that reciprocally swing Wiper arm 20,60 forward and backward.
Connecting rod mechanism 210 comprises crank arm 211, bar 212, crank 213, bar 214, bar 215, goes up lifting motor 216, crank arm 217, segmented poles 218, bar 219, pivoting lever 220, pivotal axis 221, pivoting lever 222 and pivotal axis 223.
Last lifting motor 216, crank arm 217 and segmented poles 218 form rising mechanism 224.
The cardinal extremity of crank arm 211 is fixed to the output shaft 201 of Wiper motor 200, and the end portion of crank arm 211 is rotationally coupled to an end of bar 212 by ball and cocket joint 231.The other end part of bar 212 is rotationally coupled to an end parts of crank 213 by ball and cocket joint 232.One end parts of bar 214 is rotationally coupled to ball and cocket joint 232.
Crank 213 is supported rotationally by pivot shaft 233, and pivot shaft 233 is supported by the body of vehicle.One end parts of bar 215 is rotationally coupled to the other end part of crank 213 by ball and cocket joint 234.
The segmented poles 218 of one end parts of the other end of bar 214 part and bar 219 by rising mechanism 224 is connected to each other and is in the same place.
The end of pivoting lever 220 is rotationally coupled to the other end part of bar 219 by ball and cocket joint 238.The cardinal extremity of pivoting lever 220 is fixed to the bottom of pivotal axis 221.Travel mechanism 100 (first connecting rod 101) is connected to the end portion of pivotal axis 221.Therefore, when pivotal axis 221 reciprocally rotated by the motion of pivoting lever 220, Wiper arm 20 was by travel mechanism's 100 swings.
The end portion of pivoting lever 222 is rotationally coupled to the other end part of bar 215 by ball and cocket joint 239.The cardinal extremity of pivoting lever 222 is fixed to the bottom of pivotal axis 223, and Wiper arm 60 is connected to the end portion of pivotal axis 223.Therefore, when pivotal axis 223 reciprocally rotates by the motion of pivoting lever 222, Wiper arm 60 swings.
Rising mechanism 224 can switch between the two positions, that is, and and between wiping position (referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14) and storage location (referring to Figure 15).When rising mechanism 224 is placed on wiping position, Wiper arm 20 erasable wiping scope P1.When rising mechanism 224 during in the storage location, Wiper arm 20 is movable to storage location P1c.
In rising mechanism 224, the cardinal extremity of crank arm 217 is fixed to the output shaft 216a of lifting motor 216, and the cardinal extremity part of segmented poles 218 is rotationally coupled to the end portion of crank arm 217 by ball and cocket joint 237.
Two of each interval end portion that are connected to form in segmented poles 218 in a circumferential direction.Ball and cocket joint 235,236 is distributed and is set to these junctions.The other end part of bar 214 is connected to segmented poles 218 by ball and cocket joint 235.One end of bar 219 is connected to segmented poles 218 by ball and cocket joint 235,236.
As shown in figure 16, Wiper motor 200 is configured to based on the drive signal running that comes self-controller 290 that receives.Controller 290 is connected to rain brush switch 291 and two position transduser 200a, 216b.Position transduser 200a, 216b are installed in respectively in Wiper motor 200 and the last lifting motor 216.Similar to the position transduser 14,54 of first embodiment, position transduser 200a, 216b are Magnetic Sensors.
When controller 290 received operation signal from rain brush switch 291, controller 290 was with predesigned order control Wiper motor 200 and last lifting motor 216.That is, when controller 290 received operation signal in the storage location, controller 290 operations were gone up lifting motor 216 so that crank arm 217 is moved to wiping position (causing the state from the state variation of Figure 15 to Figure 14) from the storage location.When controller 290 is determined crank arm 217 when the storage location moves to wiping position based on the impulse singla that receives from position transduser 216b, Wiper motor 200 output drive signals given by controller 290 so that the running Wiper motor.Like this, Wiper arm 20,60 is swung.
In the process of the continuous swinging operation of Wiper arm 20,60, maybe when when rain brush switch 291 receives the OFF signal, controller 290 stops at rotational angle position corresponding to bottom wiping stop position based on receive impulse singla from position transduser 200a (referring to Figure 14) with crank arm 211 when the operation signal from rain brush switch 291 stops.When controller 290 determines that crank arms 211 stop at rotational angle position corresponding to bottom wiping stop position, controller 290 drives rising mechanisms 216 so that switch to storage location (therefore, cause from the state variation of Figure 14 to Figure 15 state) from wiping position.
Next, the operation of the Wiper system W of the 3rd embodiment will be described with reference to figure 13-15.
Identical with Fig. 1, Figure 13 shows that Wiper arm 20,60 moves to the state of top turned position P1b, P2b respectively.Identical with Fig. 2, Figure 14 shows that Wiper arm 20,60 moves to the state of bottom turned position P1a, P2a respectively.Identical with Fig. 3, Figure 15 shows that Wiper arm 20 moves to the state of storage location P1c.
As Figure 13 and shown in Figure 14, be in rising mechanism 224 under the state of wiping position, when Wiper motor 200 was operated in one direction rotating crank arm 211, the rotation of bar 212 response crank arms 211 was moved forward and backward.Because the motion of bar 212, crank 213 is around pivot shaft 233 swings.
When crank 213 swings, receive an end parts of crank 213 and the bar 214 and the bar 215 of other end part respectively repeatedly and on left and right directions, move forward and backward.
Because moving forward and backward of bar 214, segmented poles 218 is around ball and cocket joint 237 swings.Because the swing of segmented poles 218, bar 219 are moved forward and backward.At this moment, the last lifting motor 216 of rising mechanism 224 remains on halted state, so crank arm 217 is held and stops.
When left and right bar 219,215 in the above described manner forward and when mobile backward, pivotal axis 220,222 is swung in predetermined angular range.Like this, Wiper arm 20,60 is swung, so the wipe surfaces of the glass 1 in Wiper blade 30,70 difference reciprocal wiping wiping scope P1, the P2.
When Wiper arm 20,60 moved to the storage location, as shown in figure 14, Wiper motor 200 stopped under the state that Wiper arm 20,60 is placed on bottom turned position P1a, P2a respectively.
Under this state, last lifting motor 216 is operated, and make crank arm 217 rotate so that move to the storage location from wiping position in the clockwise direction, so bar 219 further is pushed on vehicle dextrad.Like this, pivotal axis 220 is rotated predetermined angular in the clockwise direction, makes travel mechanism 100 be operated in the mode similar in appearance to first embodiment, thus Wiper arm 20 be driven so as motion of translation to storage location P1c.When Wiper arm 20 in the above described manner roughly during motion of translation, lid 40,80 arranged in succession continuously on lateral direction of car T.
As mentioned above, as substituting of two Wiper motors being provided for respectively Wiper arm 20,60, single Wiper motor 200 and connecting rod mechanism 210 can be set, so that reciprocally swing two Wiper arms 20,60.
In described the 3rd embodiment of Figure 13-16, when storing stop motion, only Wiper arm 20 is done motion of translation.Replacedly, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper arm 60 can be formed at and carry out motion of translation when storing stop motion.Under these circumstances, bar 214 and bar 219 can directly be connected to each other, and need not to be provided with rising mechanism 224.Replacedly, except rising mechanism 224, also can another similar rising mechanism be set in Wiper arm 60 sides.
(the 4th embodiment)
Below with reference to Figure 17 A and Figure 17 B explanation fourth embodiment of the present invention.
In first embodiment, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 are configured to stop at stop position P1c, and stop position P1c is positioned at the outer side-lower of bottom turned position P1a.Yet, the invention is not restricted to this.With reference to figure 17A and Figure 17 B, in the Wiper system of the 4th embodiment, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 are configured to stop at storage location P1d, and storage location P1d is positioned at the top, the outside of top turned position P1b.In the present embodiment, Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70 are configured to stop at storage location P2d equally, and storage location P2d is positioned at the top, the outside of top turned position P2b.Storage location P1d, P2d are configured to framework (A post) almost parallel with support glass 1.
Figure 17 A shows that Wiper blade 30,70 is placed into the serviceability of top turned position P1b, P2b respectively.Figure 17 B shows that Wiper blade 30,70 is placed into another serviceability of storage location P1d, P2d respectively.
Similar to first embodiment, the W2 of rain brush mechanism of present embodiment comprises travel mechanism 100.Yet, in the W2 of rain brush mechanism of present embodiment, being placed at Wiper blade 70 under the state of top turned position P2b, hill holder 105 is placed on the position of the rotation of hill holder 105 restrictions the 4th connecting rod 104.Further, in the present embodiment, W1 of rain brush mechanism and the W2 of rain brush mechanism are mutually symmetrical on the horizontal T of vehicle.
Because such structure is rotated when Wiper motor 10 receives corresponding drive signal according to slave controller 90, Wiper blade 30,70 is swung to top turned position P1b, P2b respectively.Afterwards, when Wiper motor 10 when predetermined angular is further rotated in this position, travel mechanism 100 is turned round.Like this, substantial transverse respectively storage location P1d, the P2d of moving to of Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 and Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70, storage location P1d, P2d are roughly parallel to top turned position P1b, P2b respectively, and on the direction that is roughly parallel to top turned position P1b, P2b respectively top turned position P1b, P2b towards the outside.
At this moment, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 and Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70 move about equally distance in top and bottom with about equally speed, make Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 and Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70 can carry out stable motion of translation.Therefore, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 and Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70 can stop along framework.Equally, when wiping motion, Wiper arm 20 and Wiper blade 30 and Wiper arm 60 and Wiper blade 70 can turn back to top turned position P1b, P2b respectively, and top turned position P1b, P2b lay respectively at storage location P1d, P2d to the inside.Like this, in the present embodiment, when stop motion and back and forth during wiping motion, can limit the interference of Wiper blade 30,70 and framed structure.
