However, each conventional heating means still has various problems and cannot be said to be necessarily preferable. That is, the above-mentioned Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-151146,
For those that heat the washer fluid by installing a heat exchange part in the middle of the pipe from the window washer tank (hereinafter referred to as "tank") to the injection nozzle, as in No. 57-151147 and No. 59-69048. had a problem in that when the washer liquid in the tank was frozen, even if the pipe was heated in the heat exchanger, the washer liquid in the tank could not be efficiently dissolved. Also, Utility Model No. 57-151146 and No. 57-
As disclosed in Publication No. 159559, in the case of a tank equipped with a heater, etc., there is a problem in assembling that the watertightness of the mounting part of the heater, etc. must be kept good, and there is also a problem with the structure. There are some problems that make it complicated and costly. In addition, since a heater, etc. is built into the tank, the capacity of the washer fluid that can be stored in the tank is reduced by the volume of the heater, etc., and the washer fluid must be replenished frequently due to long-term use. It was an unavoidable annoyance. In addition, in order to secure the volume of washer liquid reduced by the heater mentioned above, it is possible to make the tank larger, but there was a problem in increasing the size of the tank due to the space in the engine room where various equipment is installed. . Furthermore, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-17850, if the tank is installed in the large diameter part of the engine cooling water circulation pipe, the engine cooling will be carried out as soon as the engine is started. Water is not always at a high temperature, and it takes time for the coolant to heat up when starting the engine, especially in cold weather, so it is difficult to quickly warm up the washer fluid and spray it onto the windshield. Various problems were pointed out that needed to be resolved.

As described above, in this embodiment, as in the prior art, snow, frost, etc. frozen on the windshield can be quickly dissolved by heating the washer fluid W and spraying it onto the windshield. Even if the water is frozen inside the tank 1, it can be quickly thawed. However, in this example, there is no need to install a heater inside the tank, so the watertightness of the mounting part must be ensured. The hassle of assembly that was previously required has been eliminated. In addition, since the heater is not housed in the tank 1, the amount of washer fluid W that can be stored in the tank 1 by the volume of the heater does not decrease, unlike in the past.
Therefore, there is no need to frequently replenish the washer fluid W after long-term use. The electrically conductive heating cloth 3 can be easily attached, and the intended purpose can be achieved with an extremely simple and lightweight structure. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the entire tank 1 is covered and heated, so that the washer liquid W is quickly heated up compared to a method in which a heater is brought into contact with a part of the side surface of the tank or the like.

FIG. 4 shows a case in which a liquid level confirmation window 35 is provided on the conductive heat generating cloth 3 so that the amount of water stored in the washer fluid W in the tank 1 can be confirmed when the tank 1 is covered with the conductive heat generating cloth 3. By providing the liquid amount confirmation window 35, it becomes easy to confirm the amount of water stored in the washer liquid W in the tank 1.

FIG. 5 shows a window washer device according to another embodiment, in which when the washer liquid W is warmed by the conductive heating cloth 3 and rises to a certain temperature, the tank 1 detects this. A controller 39 is installed that stops energizing the conductive heat-generating cloth 3 based on a signal from a temperature sensor 37 inside, and a temperature sensor 41 that detects the outside temperature is connected to the controller 39 together with the temperature sensor 37. When the outside temperature drops below a certain value, the controller 39 starts energizing the electrically conductive heating cloth 3 based on a signal from the temperature sensor 41 that detects this.

Note that the signals from the temperature sensor 37 are given priority over the signals sent from the temperature sensors 37 and 41 to the controller 39, so that even if the outside temperature is below a certain value, the washer fluid temperature in the tank 1 remains constant. When the temperature exceeds a certain value, the temperature sensor 37
The supply of electricity to the electrically conductive heating cloth 3 is stopped in response to a signal from the electrically conductive heating cloth 3.

According to this embodiment, electricity is automatically stopped when the washer fluid temperature rises, so there is no wastage of electricity, and since the washer fluid is pre-warmed when starting the engine in cold weather, It has the advantage of immediately melting snow etc. frozen on the windshield.

Although the eyelet 33 is used in each of the above embodiments as a locking means for the electrically conductive heat generating cloth 3, the electrically conductive heat generating cloth 3 may be attached to and detached from the tank 1 using other means, for example, using a fastener (not shown). May be attached. Moreover, in place of the above-mentioned semiconductive woven fabric, other electrically conductive heat-generating fabrics may be used, and the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned semiconductive woven fabric.
