도 1 은 본 발명에 의한 차량 사이드 미러의 빗방울 제거 장치를 나타낸 도면이다. 동 도면에서, 습도센서(10)는 미러(50)의 표면에 설치되어 습기나 빗방울 등을 감지하여 이에 해당된 데이터를 출력하도록 구성되어 있으며, 콘트롤러(20)는 상기 습도센서(10)에서 출력된 데이터를 이용하여 판단한 일정치 이상의 습기나 빗방울이 맺혀 있으면 모터 구동 제어 신호를 출력하도록 되어 있다.1 is a view showing a raindrop removing apparatus of a vehicle side mirror according to the present invention. In the figure, the humidity sensor 10 is installed on the surface of the mirror 50 is configured to detect the moisture or raindrops and the like and output the data corresponding thereto, the controller 20 is output from the humidity sensor 10 If moisture or raindrops exceed a predetermined value determined using the data, the motor drive control signal is output.

모터 구동부(25)는 상기 콘트롤러(20)에서 출력되는 구동제어신호에 따라 모터(30)를 작동하도록 구성되어 있으며, 판 스프링(40)은 상기 모터(30)의 샤프트에 일측면이 권취되어 있고 종단면은 안내홈(80)을 따라 미러의 상단부로 돌출 되도록되어 있고, 브레이드(450)는 상기 판 스프링(40)의 종단면과 결합되고 미러(50)의 표면에 이동 가능하게 밀착되도록 되어 있다.The motor driver 25 is configured to operate the motor 30 according to the drive control signal output from the controller 20, and the leaf spring 40 is wound on one side of the shaft of the motor 30. The longitudinal section is projected to the upper end of the mirror along the guide groove 80, the braid 450 is coupled to the longitudinal section of the leaf spring 40 and is in close contact with the surface of the mirror 50 to be movable.

상기와 같은 실시 예를 가진 차량 사이드 미러의 빗방울 제거 장치의 작동을 상세히 기술하면 다음과 같다.An operation of the raindrop removing apparatus of the vehicle side mirror having the above embodiment will be described in detail as follows.

차량을 운행하는 도중이나 정차시 사이드 미러(100)의 미러(10)표면에 설치되어 있는 습도센서(10)가 습기나 빗방울을 감지한 데이터를 콘트롤러(20)에 공급하면, 상기 콘트롤러(20)는 입력된 데이터를 이용하여 일정량 이상의 빗방울이 상기 미러(50)에 맺혀 있는 가를 판단한 후 일정치 이상의 빗방울이 맺혀 있으면 모터 구동 제어 신호를 모터 구동부(25)에 공급한다.When the humidity sensor 10 installed on the surface of the mirror 10 of the side mirror 100 while driving a vehicle or stops supplies data to the controller 20 that detects moisture or raindrops, the controller 20 The controller determines whether the raindrops are formed in the mirror 50 by using the input data and then supplies the motor driving control signal to the motor driver 25 when the raindrops are formed in the mirror 50.

상기 모터 구동부(25)는 구동 제어 신호에 따라 모터(30)를 정방향 또는 역방향으로 구동하여 샤프트에 권취되어 있는 판 스프링(40)이 안내홈(80)을 따라 풀리면서 브레이드(45)가 미러(50)의 표면으로 이동하므로 빗방울이나 습기 등을 제거한다.The motor driver 25 drives the motor 30 in a forward or reverse direction according to a drive control signal, so that the leaf spring 40 wound around the shaft is released along the guide groove 80, and the braid 45 is mirrored. Removes raindrops and moisture as it moves to the surface of 50).

상술한 본 발명에 의하면, 사이드 미러의 표면에 습기나 빗방울이 맺혀 있으면 블레이드를 상하로 이동하여 빗방울 등을 제거하므로 우천시 사이드 미러에 의한 측면 시야를 확보할 수 있는 효과가 있다.According to the present invention described above, if moisture or raindrops are formed on the surface of the side mirror, the blade is moved up and down to remove raindrops and the like, so that the side view by the side mirror in rainy weather can be secured.
