Description

1 TARIFF A BLOCK DETECTION AND REPORTING SYSTEM Technical Area 5 This invention uses current obtained from a sensor placed in the windshield washer motor of vehicles. real-time analysis of the current value and when it exceeds a certain threshold value In the event of this, the vehicle user's windshield washer fluid spray elements It relates to a system that provides notification when a blockage occurs. 10 Previous Technique Wiper systems in vehicles prevent reduced visibility in rainy weather and It is used to improve the field of vision. Wiper systems also clean the glass at 15°. If the windshield is dirty, the washer fluid sprayed from the nozzles can help clean it. It ensures cleaning. Nozzles that spray water onto the glass remove external dust, dirt, and other debris. It becomes blocked due to adverse effects from various factors. In such situations, the driver should open the window. When trying to clean it, they find themselves in a difficult situation and driving safety is compromised. This is why the wiper system used today sprays water onto the windshield. A solution is needed that allows for the detection of blockages in the spray nozzles. It is heard. U.S. patent number US10112582B2, which is included in the prior art. The document mentions a system configured to clean the vehicle's windshield, 25 It is mentioned that the invention described is a computer-controlled windshield wiper controller. The imaging device is in electronic communication with the fluid applicator and the fluid heater. It is a windshield cleaning system. The system uses a liquid applicator. a spray taken after the engine is started and before the wipers are activated capturing an image before and after spraying and 30 This comparison examines the potential of windshield cleaning systems. 2 This is done by a computer to determine the conditions. The announced windshield monitoring and cleaning system is for a computer-controlled vehicle, whether the vehicle's windshield cleaning mechanisms are working properly. It provides a solution to the problem of difficulty in determination. In this regard, the tool the computer, a first 5 before the windshield is sprayed with a heated cleaning fluid. it will capture the image, then a second image after it is sprayed. It is programmed in this way. Brief Description of the Invention The aim of this invention is to resolve clogging in the windshield washer nozzles of a vehicle. detected via a current sensor placed in the windshield washer motor It was determined that the nozzles became clogged when the motor was strained by drawing excessive current. a system that provides information and ensures the vehicle user is informed to accomplish. 15 Detailed Description of the Invention The "Obstruction Detection and..." procedure was carried out to achieve the purpose of this invention. The "Notification System" is shown in the attached document; this document is numbered 20. Figure 1 shows a schematic view of the system that is the subject of the invention. The parts shown in the figure are individually numbered, and the corresponding numbers correspond to these numbers. given below. 25 1. System 2. Current sensor 3. Electronic devices 4. Vehicle control unit 30 3 Spray nozzles that spray water onto windows in vehicles that enables the detection of a blockage and informs the vehicle user. an invention is a system (1); -integrated into the windshield washer motor located on the vehicle, the water drawn by the motor...

Real-time current received via the current sensor (2) in the water motor to analyze the values, after the analysis a predetermined threshold value If current is drawn through it, the windshield washer motor is strained and the wiper blades... 15 to determine that there is a blockage in the nozzle used for spraying water and Through communication established with the electronic device (3), the vehicle user can be informed by voice and / or at least one structured to visually inform about the obstruction vehicle control unit (4) includes. The current sensor (2) in the system (1) which is the subject of the invention, in the wiper system After the intention to spray, the windshield washer motor starts working and draws in the water. Monitoring currents in real time and using measured data to control the vehicle. It is configured to transmit to the unit (4). The electronic device (1) in the system that is the subject of the invention has at least one (3) sound input. microphone, speakers providing sound output, and buttons and / or touchscreen. a vehicle computer, mobile cell phone, which has at least one input unit in this form, A tablet computer is a device that takes the form of a laptop and / or desktop computer. Electronic device (3) vehicle control unit 30 via any communication protocol to communicate, to exchange data through the established communication, and 4 In the event of a nozzle blockage, the vehicle user will be alerted audibly and / or visually. It is configured to warn the vehicle user while they are driving their vehicle. via the vehicle's computer or via a mobile device while away from the vehicle They are informed about the blockage. The vehicle control unit (1) in the system that is the subject of the invention (4) inside the vehicle located and the vehicle's mechanical and / or electronic units and functions It is configured to manage the vehicle control unit (4) wiper. When it is desired to spray water in the system, the current drawn through the current sensor (2) to analyze the data and ensure working conditions where no bottlenecks occur 10 It is configured to establish a threshold value related to the vehicle control unit. (4) after the wiper system is activated by spraying wiper fluid Analyzing the current data drawn from the windshield washer motor, thresholding the current data not taking any action if the value does not exceed the threshold of the current data If the value exceeds 15, it is determined that the nozzle is clogged, and nozzle clogging is diagnosed as 15. to share the information with the vehicle user via electronic device (3) It is being structured. Thanks to the analysis of flow data, the windshield washer fluid... if the motor operates by drawing more current than normal conditions It can be determined that there is a blockage in the spray elements. Thus Blockages that begin to form in spray elements such as nozzles can be detected in advance. It is possible The system (1) that is the subject of the invention is the system that sprays water onto the glass, which is part of the wiper system. the current sensor installed in the windshield washer motor experienced a blockage in its nozzles (2) is determined by the flow data it collects. For this purpose, the windshield washer fluid 25 A threshold value is established by analyzing the engine's operating data, and After attempting to spray water onto the windshield, the windshield washer motor draws water in. The currents are checked to see if the glass is functioning with normal current settings. This occurs when the windshield washer motor draws more current than normal. It was determined that the nozzles were clogged, and 30 devices such as the vehicle computer or mobile device were connected. The vehicle user is informed via electronic devices (2). Invention Thanks to the system in question (1), no sensors can be placed in the fluid system Easy and quick blockage detection via the current drawn by the motor. It is possible. Around these fundamental concepts, the invention is titled "A Blockage Detection and Notification 5". It is possible to develop a wide variety of applications related to the System (1)”, and the invention This cannot be limited to the examples described here, but is primarily stated in the claims. It is like that.
