Embodiment Construction

[0066] Hereinafter, a vehicle wiper control device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention and a vehicle mounted with the wiper control device 10 will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0067] The vehicle on which the wiper control device 10 is mounted includes a vehicle body, all of which are omitted from the illustration, four wheels, an internal combustion engine, an automatic stepped transmission capable of gradually and automatically changing gear gears, and a transmission connected to the internal combustion engine and the automatic variable transmission. torque converter, and a braking device capable of applying braking force to each wheel.

[0068] Power generated by the internal combustion engine is transmitted to the automatic variable transmission via a torque converter, and then transmitted from the automatic variable transmission to each wheel (drive wheel) via a drive shaft or the like. That is, the vehicle is an automatic transmission ...

Abstract

A vehicle wiper control device. When a masking object sensor detects that a masking object is adhered to an outer surface of a window part during execution of automatic wiper control, removal of the masking object performed by a passenger moving to the outside of the vehicle is prevented from becoming difficult due to action of the wiper. Automatic wiper control prohibiting means prohibits execution of automatic wiper control when vehicle stop detecting means detects that a vehicle is stopping and a masking object detecting part determines that a masking object is adhered to the outer surfaceof a window part. When the vehicle stop detecting means detects that the vehicle is stopping and a state of the masking object detecting part is changed from a state where the masking object detectingpart detects that the masking object is adhered to the outer surface of the window part to a state where the masking object detecting part detects that the masking object is not adhered to the outersurface of the window part at a changing time, the automatic wiper control prohibiting means prohibits the execution of said automatic wiper control for a predetermined period of time from the changing time.

Description

technical field [0001] For example, the present invention relates to a wiper control device for a vehicle that automatically operates the wipers when raindrops adhere to the outer surface of a window portion of the vehicle. Background technique [0002] Generally, a vehicle is provided with a wiper reciprocatingly moved by the power of an actuator. As is well known, a wiper reciprocates around a predetermined rotation axis on the outer surface of a front window of a vehicle made of a light-transmitting material, thereby removing raindrops (moisture) adhering to the outer surface of the front window. [0003] The actuator is controlled by a control device. [0004] The control device can control the actuator based on each control mode of a manual control mode and an automatic wiper control mode. A vehicle occupant can select a manual control mode or an automatic wiper control mode as a control mode by operating a mode switching switch provided on a dashboard, for example. ...
