Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for automatically cleaning a glass of a vehicle, and in particular, by periodically checking a clean state of a wind shield glass of a vehicle, by automatically operating a wiper when the glass is contaminated, the windshield glass The present invention relates to an automatic glass cleaning device for a vehicle, which can be always kept clean and the driver does not need to operate the wiper separately, thereby increasing the driver's convenience.
일반적으로 자동차의 윈드 실드 글래스(1: wind shield glass)의 전방부에는, 도 1에서 도시하는 바와 같이, 두 개소에 워셔액 분사구(2)가 설치되어 있고, 운전석측과 조수석측의 두 개소에 와이퍼(3)가 설치되어 있다.Generally, as shown in FIG. 1, the washer liquid injection hole 2 is provided in the front part of the windshield glass (1: wind shield glass) of a motor vehicle, and the wiper is provided in two places, a driver's seat and a passenger's seat. (3) is installed.
그리하여, 상기 글래스(1)가 오염되어있는 경우에는 운전자가 와이퍼(3)를 작동하고 워셔액 분사구(2)에서 워셔액을 분사하여 글래스(1)를 닦아주게 된다.Thus, when the glass 1 is contaminated, the driver operates the wiper 3 and sprays the washer liquid from the washer liquid injection port 2 to wipe the glass 1.
또한, 우천시에는 운전자가 상기 와이퍼(3)를 적당한 속도로 작동하여 글래스(1)에 내리는 빗물을 제거하며 운전을 하게 된다.In addition, during rainy weather, the driver operates the wiper 3 at a suitable speed to drive the rainwater to the glass 1 to be removed.
그러나, 자동차의 글래스가 오염된 상태에서 주행하는 경우에, 시야를 확보하기 위하여 워셔액을 분사시키고 와이퍼를 작동하게 되면, 순간적으로 운전자의 시야를 더욱 가리게 되고, 이는 사고의 위험을 더욱 높이게 되는 문제점이 있었다.However, when driving in a state in which the glass of the car is contaminated, when the washer fluid is sprayed to operate the vision and the wiper is operated, the driver's vision is further blinded, which increases the risk of an accident. there was.
본 발명은 상기의 결점을 해소하기 위한 것으로, 윈드 실드 글래스를 항상 청결하게 유지할 수 있고, 운전자가 별도로 와이퍼를 작동할 필요가 없어, 운전자의 편의성을 증대시킬 수 있는 자동차의 글래스 자동 세척장치를 제공하고자 한다.The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the windshield glass can be kept clean at all times, the driver does not need to operate the wiper separately, provides an automatic glass cleaning device for automobiles that can increase the driver's convenience. I would like to.
이러한 본 발명은 자동차의 윈드 실드 글래스의 내측에 설치되어 상기 글래스를 통하는 투과광의 강도를 감지하는 수광센서와; 상기 수광센서와 연결되어, 이 수광센서에서 측정된 투과광의 정도를 먼지양으로 환산하여, 그 값이 일정값 이상이면 자동차의 워셔액 분사부와 와이퍼 구동부에 신호를 보내어 작동하도록 하는 ECU와; 상기 수광센서와 ECU에 전원을 공급하는 전원부를 포함하여 구성함으로써 달성된다.The present invention includes a light receiving sensor installed inside the windshield glass of the vehicle for detecting the intensity of the transmitted light through the glass; An ECU which is connected to the light receiving sensor and converts the degree of transmitted light measured by the light receiving sensor into an amount of dust, and sends a signal to the washer liquid spraying unit and the wiper driving unit when the value is equal to or greater than a predetermined value; It is achieved by including a power supply for supplying power to the light receiving sensor and the ECU.

도 2는 본 발명의 자동차의 글래스 자동 세척장치를 나타내는 블럭도로서, 본 발명은, 자동차의 윈드 실드 글래스의 내측에 설치되어 상기 글래스를 통하는 투과광의 강도를 감지하는 수광센서(10)와; 상기 수광센서(10)와 연결되어, 이 수광센서(10)에서 측정된 투과광의 정도를 먼지양으로 환산하여, 그 값이 일정값 이상이면 자동차의 워셔액 분사부(30)와 와이퍼 구동부(40)에 신호를 보내어 작동하도록 하는 ECU(20)와; 상기 수광센서(10)와 ECU(20)에 전원을 공급하는 전원부(50)를 포함하여 구성되는 것을 그 기술상의 특징으로 한다.2 is a block diagram showing an automatic glass cleaning apparatus for a vehicle of the present invention, the present invention includes: a light receiving sensor 10 installed inside the windshield glass of a vehicle to sense the intensity of transmitted light passing through the glass; Connected to the light receiving sensor 10, the degree of transmitted light measured by the light receiving sensor 10 is converted into the amount of dust, if the value is more than a predetermined value washer liquid injection unit 30 and the wiper driver 40 of the vehicle An ECU 20 which sends a signal to and operates; It is characterized in that it comprises a power supply unit 50 for supplying power to the light receiving sensor 10 and the ECU (20).
상기 전원부는 자동차의 배터리를 이용할 수도 있지만, 별도의 배터리를 이용하도록 함으로써 자동차의 시동 여부와 상관없이, 즉 주차중에도 작동이 가능하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.Although the power supply unit may use a battery of the vehicle, it is preferable to use a separate battery so that the operation can be performed regardless of whether the vehicle is started, that is, while parking.
또한, 상기 측정된 먼지양이 일정값 이상이라도 자동차가 주행중이면 작동을 보류하도록 ECU(20)를 제어하여, 주행중에 작동하여 운전이 방해되는 경우가 발생하지 않도록 한다.In addition, the ECU 20 is controlled to suspend operation when the vehicle is driving even if the measured amount of dust is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, so that the driving may not be interrupted while driving.
이하, 상기 도 2를 참고하여 본 발명의 작용 및 효과를 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the operation and effects of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.
본 발명에 사용되는 수광센서(10)는 빛의 양을 전류신호로 바꾸어주는 소자로서, 포토 다이오드, 포토 트랜지스터 등의 다양한 소자가 있으나, 이중 어떤 소자를 사용하여도 된다.The light receiving sensor 10 used in the present invention is a device that converts the amount of light into a current signal, and there are various devices such as a photo diode and a photo transistor, but any device may be used.
상기한 바와 같이, 수광센서(10)는 빛의 양을 전류신호로 바꾸어주므로, 자동차의 글래스를 투과하여 들어오는 외부의 빛을 감지하여 이를 상기 ECU(20)에 알려줌으로써 글래스의 오염 여부를 알리게 된다.As described above, since the light receiving sensor 10 changes the amount of light into a current signal, it detects the external light that passes through the glass of the vehicle and informs the ECU 20 of whether the glass is contaminated. .
그러나, 외부의 빛은 주로 태양광이 될 수 있으나, 이는 날씨에 따라서 그 강도가 달라지므로, 경우에 따라서는 상기 수광센서(10)의 맞은편 글래스 외측에 발광다이오드(LED) 등의 발광소자(미도시)를 설치하여 그 빛의 강도를 일정하게 유지하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다.However, the external light may be mainly sunlight, but since the intensity varies depending on the weather, in some cases, a light emitting device such as a light emitting diode (LED) outside the glass opposite to the light receiving sensor 10 ( It is preferable to install a (not shown) to keep the light intensity constant.
그리하여, 상기 빛의 강도를 일정하게 감지하여, 그 빛의 강도가 일정값 이하로 낮아질 경우에 자동차의 워셔액 분사부(30)와 와이퍼 구동부(40)에 신호를 보내어 작동하도록 함으로써 글래스를 자동으로 세척하게 되는 것이다.Thus, the intensity of the light is constantly sensed, and when the intensity of the light falls below a certain value, the glass is automatically cleaned by sending a signal to the washer liquid injection unit 30 and the wiper drive unit 40 to operate. Will be done.
상기한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 자동차의 주차중에도 항시 작동하도록 하여, 운전중이 아닐 경우에 작동하도록 하는 것이 바람직하며, 이는 운전중의 작동은 오히려 운전을 방해할 수 있기 때문이다.As described above, it is preferable that the present invention always operates while the vehicle is parked, so that it operates when it is not driving, since the operation while driving may rather hinder driving.
상기 실시예는 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 구체적으로 설명하기 위한 일례로서, 본 발명의 범위는 상기의 도면이나 실시예에 한정되지 않는다.The above embodiment is an example for explaining the technical idea of the present invention in detail, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to the above drawings and embodiments.
이상과 같은 본 발명은 글래스가 오염된 경우에는 자동으로 와이퍼를 작동하도록 함으로써, 윈드 실드 글래스를 항상 청결하게 유지할 수 있고, 운전자가 별도로 와이퍼를 작동할 필요가 없어, 운전자의 편의성을 증대시킬 수 있는 효과가 있는 발명인 것이다.The present invention as described above is to operate the wiper automatically when the glass is contaminated, the windshield glass can always be kept clean, the driver does not need to operate the wiper separately, can increase the convenience of the driver It is an invention with effect.
