Abstract

The control is used to switch on and off windscreen or headlight wipers. A water detector is fitted to the glass within the area swept by the wiper blade. The signal from the detector is amplified and fed to a relay or electronic switching circuit which controls the wiper drive motor. When the glass is dry, the wiper motor is switched off. This automatic controller may be overridden by the normal controls fitted in the car.

Betreft; Inrichting voor het automatisch bedrijven van ruitenwissers.Regarding; Device for automatic operation of wipers.

De uitvinding beoogt autamobile-fabrikanten en het publiek in het algemeen te voorzien van een inrichting voor het automatisch in werking stellen en buitenwerking stellen van ruitenwissers.The object of the invention is to provide automobile manufacturers and the public in general with a device for automatically activating and deactivating windscreen wipers.

De meer geraffineerde autamobilen zijn niet voorzien van 5 een automatisch :element voor het in werking of buitenwerking stellen van de ruitenwissers van voorruiten, achterruiten, koplampen en dergelijke.The more refined motorhomes do not have an automatic element for activating or deactivating the wipers of windscreens, rear windows, headlamps and the like.

In alle gevallen dient de chauffeur noodzakelijkerwijs de betreffende regelaar voor de ruitenwisser, een arm, die volgens een 10 boog beweegbaar is, te activeren teneinde het oppervlak van het betreffende raam af te vegen, regenwater te verwijderen, waardoor men een goed zicht via het raam verkrijgt, of, zoals in het geval van koplampen, een grotere luminositeit en derhalve een beter zicht op de weg te verkrijgen.In all cases, the driver must necessarily activate the appropriate wiper control, an arm that can be moved by an arc, in order to wipe the surface of the affected window, to remove rainwater, allowing good visibility through the window or, as in the case of headlamps, obtain a greater luminosity and thus a better view of the road.

15 Bij de inrichting volgens de uitvinding is dit probleem opgeheven doordat wordt voorzien in organen waarmede de werking van de ruitenwissers automatisch plaatsvindt.In the device according to the invention this problem is solved by providing means with which the wipers operate automatically.

Daartoe is de inrichting volgens de uitvinding voorzien van een elektronische aftastinrichting, die in het bedrijfsveld van de 20 wissers, welke het glas van de voorruit of dergelijke afwissen, is opgesteld, welke elektronische aftastinrichting met de overeenkomstige signaalversterker en voedingsketen van de aandrijfmotor is verbonden en welke aftastinrichting het door regen veroorzaakte vochtigheids-signaal opvangt, waarbij de werking wordt beëindigd wanneer de wissers 25 zelf, tijdens hun beweging, het oppervlak van de aftastinrichting droog maken.To this end, the device according to the invention is provided with an electronic scanning device, which is arranged in the field of operation of the wipers which wipe the glass from the windscreen or the like, which electronic scanning device is connected to the corresponding signal amplifier and power supply chain of the drive motor and which sensor receives the moisture-induced rain signal, the operation being terminated when the wipers 25 themselves, during their movement, dry the surface of the sensor.

De uitvinding zal onderstaand nader worden toegelicht onder verwijzing naar de tekening.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing.

Fig. 1 toont schematisch een opstelling van de elementen 30 waaruit de inrichting volgens de uitvinding bestaat. Hierbij is 1 de elektronische aftastinrichting, 2 de elektronische signaalverster-ker, en 3 het elektronische mechanisme/relais, dat de elektrische keten sluit of opent, waarover de motor wordt gevoed, die de arm 5 8204098 * 0 - 2 - activeert. Uit de tekening blijkt,, dat de aftastinrichting 1 zich binnen bet bedrijfsveld van de arm 5 bevindt.Fig. 1 schematically shows an arrangement of the elements 30 that make up the device according to the invention. Here 1 is the electronic sensor, 2 the electronic signal amplifier, and 3 the electronic mechanism / relay, which closes or opens the electric circuit, through which the motor is fed, which activates the arm 5 8204098 * 0 - 2. The drawing shows that the scanning device 1 is located within the operating field of the arm 5.

Fig. 2 toont bij wijze van voorbeeld een auto, welke is voorzien van de inrichting volgens de uitvinding, zowel in de voor-5 ruit 6 als in de koplampen T* Deze figuur geeft aan op welke wijze de aftastinrichting 1 in bet bedrijfsveld van. elk element (ruiten-wisserarm) is opgesteld, ofschoon in een van de genoemde elementen een enkele aftastinrichting kan zijn opgenomen om het gewenste veeg-effekt te verkrijgen aangezien het relais 3 of het element, dat dit 10 relais vervangt, de gelijktijdige verbinding van de ketens, overeenkomende met de beschreven zones en met andere zones, zoals het achterraam, tot stand zal brengen.Fig. 2 shows by way of example a car, which is provided with the device according to the invention, both in the front window 6 and in the headlights T *. This figure shows how the sensor 1 in the field of operation of FIG. each element (wiper arm) is arranged, although in one of said elements a single sensor may be included to obtain the desired wiping effect since the relay 3 or the element replacing this relay, the simultaneous connection of the chains corresponding to the zones described and to other zones such as the rear window.

Elk van de ketens kan zijn voorzien van een overeenkomstige schakelaar, die de werking van de ruitenwiselementen. tot het meest 15 van belang zijnde gebied of tot het gebied, dat in elk geval nodig is, beperkt.Each of the chains can be provided with a corresponding switch, which controls the operation of the wiper elements. to the most important area or to the area that is needed in any case.

Het voornaamste kenmerk van de uitvinding is gelegen in het feit, dat de aftastinrichting is gekoppeld met de ruitenwisserarmen, waarvoor de aftastinrichting in het bedrijfsveld van de arm of armen 20 is gelegen, die elk venster van het voertuig schoonveegt respectievelijk schoonvegen.The main feature of the invention resides in the fact that the sensing device is coupled to the wiper arms, for which the sensing device is located in the operating field of the arm or arms 20, which sweeps or wipes each window of the vehicle.

In elk geval zal een toegevoegd element de organen vormen om de genoemde elementen elektronisch, en elektrisch met elkaar te verbinden aangezien daarvoor verschillende elementen kunnen worden toege-25 past.In any case, an added element will form the means for electronically and electrically connecting said elements, since different elements can be used for this.
