Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of engineering machinery, and in particular to a windshield wiper device, a cab and a working vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the conventional form of windshield wipers for cars or work vehicles is an external glass window wiper and wiper arm, with a built-in drive motor. The drive motor is connected to the output shaft of the wiper arm as a whole, and the drive motor cannot be quickly disconnected from the output shaft of the wiper arm. However, in special circumstances (such as the driver using the window to escape), it is necessary to disconnect the output shaft of the wiper arm from the drive motor so as to quickly open the window. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0004] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a wiper device.

[0005] A second object of the present invention is to provide a cab.

[0006] A third object of the present invention is to provide a working vehicle.

[0007] To achieve the first purpose of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention provides a wiper device, including: a wiper; a wiper arm, one end of which is connected to the wiper; an output shaft assembly, one end of which is connected to an end of the wiper arm away from the wiper, and a driving mechanism connected to a coupling assembly; a telescopic rod, which is arranged on the output shaft assembly or the coupling assembly and is used to realize the connection between the coupling assembly and the output shaft assembly, and the telescopic rod can be extended and retracted along the connection direction between the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly.

[0008] In this technical solution, a coupling assembly is provided between the driving mechanism and the output shaft assembly, and the coupling assembly is connected to the output shaft assembly through a telescopic rod to drive the output shaft assembly to rotate. The rotation of the output shaft assembly drives the scraper arm to rotate, so that the scraper arm drives the scraper to realize the scraping function. Specifically, when the wiper device is used for a vehicle window, after the vehicle window is opened, the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly are separated from each other, and when the vehicle window is to be closed, in order to be able to close the vehicle window, the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly need to be connected again, and at this time, the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly may have been misaligned in the connection direction. The connection direction specifically refers to the combination direction when the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly can be accurately connected. The connection direction can be the axial direction of the coupling assembly, or it can be a direction deviating from the axial direction, etc. In the case where the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly are misaligned, it is difficult to connect the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly. The telescopic rod is arranged between the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly. When the telescopic rod rotates relative to the output shaft assembly or the coupling assembly, the telescopic rod can be extended and retracted in the connection direction and has an alignment function, thereby ensuring the combination of the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly.

[0009] When the telescopic rod is disconnected from the output shaft assembly, the coupling assembly, the driving mechanism and the output shaft assembly are separated, thereby reducing the weight attached to the window glass. The coupling assembly can be selectively connected or disconnected with the output shaft of the output shaft assembly, which not only enables reliable connection between the driving mechanism and the output shaft assembly, but also reliable and rapid torque transmission, effectively improving the versatility of the wiper device and improving the stability of the wiper device.

[0010] In addition, the technical solution provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] In the above technical solution, the telescopic rod includes: a rod body; a first elastic member, which is arranged in the coupling assembly, one end of the first elastic member is connected to the coupling assembly, and the other end is connected to the rod body, and the first elastic member is used to drive one end of the rod body close to the output shaft assembly to extend out of the coupling assembly; wherein the output shaft assembly is provided with a socket for cooperating with the end of the rod body extending out of the coupling assembly.

[0012] In the technical scheme, the telescopic rod is arranged on the coupling assembly, so that the rod body extends out of the end of the coupling assembly near the output shaft assembly, and is used to extend into the socket to connect the output shaft assembly, or the rod body is separated from the socket, and the rod body is disconnected from the output shaft assembly. Specifically, when the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly are to be connected, the end of the rod body away from the coupling assembly touches the output shaft assembly, and the telescopic rod retracts in a short period of time due to its elasticity, which can not only ensure that the window is closed, but also when the coupling assembly reaches the position of the socket in the process of driving the telescopic rod to rotate, the rod body can be inserted into the socket to connect the output shaft assembly with the coupling assembly. Therefore, the mutual cooperation between the telescopic rod and the socket can ensure that the output shaft assembly can be combined with the coupling assembly again after disconnection. At least a part of the body of the coupling assembly is provided with one or more connecting holes, for example, a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole can be provided radially symmetrically, and the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are both axially arranged, that is, the center line of the first connecting hole, the center line of the second connecting hole and the axis of the body of the coupling assembly are parallel to each other. Taking the provision of a telescopic rod as an example, the first elastic member may be a spring or the like, the first elastic member is provided in the first connecting hole, one end of the first elastic member is connected to the end cap, the end cap is used to be connected to at least a part of the body of the coupling assembly, for example, it can be connected by a fastener such as a screw, so as to prevent the telescopic rod from being separated from the first connecting hole. The other end of the first elastic member is connected to the rod body. Specifically, the rod body includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion of unequal diameters, wherein a hole is provided in the large diameter portion, and the first elastic member extends into the hole and is connected to the large diameter portion. The small diameter portion can be extended into the jack and can be used to connect the output shaft assembly. A step is formed between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion, which can limit the output shaft assembly and prevent the output shaft assembly and the body of the coupling assembly from colliding with each other and generating noise. When the telescopic rod cannot be inserted into the jack, since the telescopic rod has the function of axial telescoping, the end of the telescopic rod will be retracted into the body of the coupling assembly, and once the telescopic rod is rotated to a position aligned with the jack, the telescopic rod will be connected to the output shaft assembly after being ejected. Therefore, the telescopic rod ensures the connection between the coupling assembly and the output shaft assembly. When the connection between the coupling assembly and the output shaft assembly needs to be disconnected, only the output shaft assembly needs to be disconnected to separate the jack from the rod body of the telescopic rod. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

The jack is provided on the positioning plate, and the positioning plate and the positioning plate are arranged at intervals from each other, considering that the rod body can avoid colliding with the positioning plate and making noise after being inserted into the jack, and avoid the possibility of wear due to collision. One end of the main connecting shaft extending out of the positioning plate extends into the coupling assembly, which plays a guiding role when the output shaft assembly and the coupling assembly are connected through the telescopic rod, which is more conducive to the connection between the telescopic rod and the positioning plate. In addition, the disk surface of the positioning plate facing the coupling assembly can better position the telescopic rod, so as to further ensure that the telescopic rod is connected to the positioning plate more quickly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0059] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purpose, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0060] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0061] In the related art, at present, the wiper components of automobiles or engineering vehicles mainly include: (1) conventional external wiper with connecting rod mechanism, that is, the connecting rod mechanism (external) is connected to the output shaft as a whole, the motor power range is wide, and it can be selected according to the glass and the length of the wiper arm and wiper, but the appearance is large and the weight is heavy; (2) conventional internal wiper with connecting rod mechanism, that is, the connecting rod mechanism (built into the motor structure) is connected to the output shaft as a whole, the motor power is usually small, suitable for the situation where the wiper arm and wiper are small in size and the installation space is small, or the motor is fixed on the glass (the weight of the motor needs to be controlled as small as possible and part of the wiring harness is exposed); (3) the connecting rod mechanism and the output shaft can be separated or combined, suitable for the situation where the glass needs to be opened and the wiper arm and wiper are long, the motor weight is large, and the wiring harness is hidden in the car, and the motor connecting rod can be internal or external.

[0062] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a wiper structure 100' for cranes, especially mobile or crawler cranes, is disclosed, including a wiper motor, a connecting rod mechanism, an output shaft, a connecting plate with a circular arc hole (located on the vehicle body), a wiper arm and a wiper brush, a spring and a pin (located on the glass). The motor output shaft drives the connecting plate to rotate a certain angle, and the wiper arm pin is combined with or separated from the connecting plate. The wiper structure 100' uses a spring pin to insert or leave the connecting plate with a circular arc hole. When the pin is inserted into the connecting plate, the pin collides with the connecting plate when switching left and right, resulting in loud noise and easy wear.

[0063] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an opening rear window assembly 200' for a trunk door of a motor vehicle is disclosed, including a wiper motor and an output shaft (located on the vehicle body), a wiper arm and a wiper (located on the glass), and the motor output shaft can be combined with or separated from the wiper arm drive shaft. The opening rear window assembly 200' only describes that the motor output shaft and the wiper arm shaft can be combined or separated, without a specific structure, and does not consider how to achieve combination under deviation.

[0064] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a car wiper motor 300' is disclosed, including a motor and a reduction box, the reduction box including a housing, a turbine, and a worm, the worm is connected to the motor output shaft through a coupling, and the two ends of the worm are fixed, so that the worm and the turbine are kept in a good meshing state, reducing wear, reducing noise, and increasing service life. The car wiper motor 300' connects the worm inside the motor and the motor shaft through a coupling, and they are all in a meshing state, and there is no separate working state.

[0065] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a wiper device and camera 400' are disclosed, including a wiper mechanism, a motor, and a controller for controlling the rotation of the motor. Limiting posts are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the column connected to the motor output shaft. When the column contacts the limiting posts, the controller controls the motor to change the direction. There is no need to use transmission gears, limit detection optical couplers, light shielding sheets and other components, and the structure is simple; the output shaft of the motor is respectively connected to the column and the wiper shaft of the wiper mechanism through a coupling. The wiper device and camera 400' connect the motor shaft and the output shaft, and the output shaft and the column through a coupling, and they are all in a meshing state, and there is no separate working state.

[0066] Refer to the following Figures 9 to 24 The wiper device and the working vehicle according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0067] Example 1

[0068] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the wiper device 1 provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention comprises: a wiper brush 10, a wiper arm 20, an output shaft assembly 30, a coupling assembly 40, a telescopic rod 410 and a driving mechanism 50, one end of the wiper arm 20 is connected to the wiper brush 10, one end of the output shaft assembly 30 is connected to an end of the wiper arm 20 away from the wiper brush 10, and the driving mechanism 50 is connected to the coupling assembly 40; the telescopic rod 410 is arranged on the output shaft assembly 30 or the coupling assembly 40, and is used to realize the connection between the coupling assembly 40 and the output shaft assembly 30, and the telescopic rod 410 can be extended and retracted along the connection direction between the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40.

[0069] In the wiper device 1 provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, the driving mechanism 50 includes a motor body 501 and a motor driving shaft 502 connected to the motor body 501, and the motor driving shaft 502 is connected to the output shaft assembly 30 through the coupling assembly 40, such as Fig.11 shown.

[0070] By arranging the coupling assembly 40 between the driving mechanism 50 and the output shaft assembly 30, the coupling assembly 40 is connected to the output shaft assembly 30 through the telescopic rod 410 to drive the output shaft assembly 30 to rotate, and the output shaft assembly 30 rotates to drive the scraper arm 20 to rotate, so that the scraper arm 20 drives the scraper 10 to achieve the scraping function. Specifically, when the wiper device 1 is used for a vehicle window, after the vehicle window is opened, the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 are separated from each other, and when the vehicle window is to be closed, in order to be able to close the vehicle window, the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 need to be connected again, and at this time, the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 may have been misaligned in the connection direction, and the connection direction specifically refers to the combination direction when the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 can be accurately connected. The connection direction can be the axial direction of the coupling assembly, or it can be a direction deviating from the axial direction, etc. In the case that the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 are misaligned, it is difficult to connect the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40. The telescopic rod 410 is arranged between the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40. When the telescopic rod 410 rotates relative to the output shaft assembly 30 or the coupling assembly 40, the telescopic rod 410 has an alignment function because it can be extended and retracted in the connection direction, thereby ensuring the connection between the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40.

[0071] When the telescopic rod 410 is disconnected from the output shaft assembly 30, the coupling assembly 40 and the drive mechanism 50 are separated from the output shaft assembly 30, thereby reducing the weight attached to the window glass. The coupling assembly 40 can be selectively connected or disconnected with the output shaft of the output shaft assembly 30, which not only makes the connection between the drive mechanism 50 and the output shaft assembly 30 reliable, but also transmits torque reliably and quickly, effectively improving the versatility of the wiper device 1 and improving the stability of the wiper device 1.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] like Fig.12 and Fig.14 As shown, this embodiment provides a wiper device 1. In addition to the technical features of the above embodiment, this embodiment also includes the following technical features:

[0074] The telescopic rod 410 includes: a rod body 403 and a first elastic member 404. The first elastic member 404 is arranged in the coupling assembly 40. One end of the first elastic member 404 is connected to the coupling assembly 40, and the other end is connected to the rod body 403. The first elastic member 404 is used to drive the end of the rod body 403 close to the output shaft assembly 30 to extend out of the coupling assembly 40; wherein, the output shaft assembly 30 is provided with a socket 3021 for cooperating with the end of the rod body 403 extending out of the coupling assembly 40.

[0075] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod 410 is arranged on the coupling assembly 30, so that the rod body 403 extends out of the end of the coupling assembly 40 close to the output shaft assembly 30, and is used to extend into the insertion hole 3021 to connect the output shaft assembly 30, or the rod body 403 is separated from the insertion hole 3021, and the rod body 403 is disconnected from the output shaft assembly 30. Specifically, when the output shaft assembly 30 and the coupling assembly 40 are to be connected, the end of the rod body 403 away from the coupling assembly 40 touches the output shaft assembly 30, and the telescopic rod 410 retracts in a short time due to its elasticity, which can not only ensure that the car window is closed tightly, but also when the coupling assembly 40 reaches the position of the insertion hole 3021 in the process of driving the telescopic rod 410 to rotate, the rod body 403 can be inserted into the insertion hole 3021 to connect the output shaft assembly 30 with the coupling assembly 40. Therefore, the mutual cooperation between the telescopic rod 410 and the jack 3021 can ensure that the output shaft assembly 30 can be re-combined with the coupling assembly 40 after being disconnected. One or more connecting holes are provided in at least a part of the body of the coupling assembly 40. For example, a first connecting hole 4012 and a second connecting hole 4013 can be provided radially symmetrically, and the first connecting hole 4012 and the second connecting hole 4013 are both axially arranged, that is, the center line of the first connecting hole 4012, the center line of the second connecting hole 4013 and the axis of the body of the coupling assembly 40 are parallel to each other. Taking the provision of a telescopic rod 410 as an example, the first elastic member 404 can be a spring, etc., the first elastic member 404 is provided in the first connecting hole 4012, one end of the first elastic member 404 is connected to the end cover 405, and the end cover 405 is used to connect with at least a part of the body of the coupling assembly 40, for example, it can be connected by fasteners such as screws, so as to prevent the telescopic rod 410 from being separated from the first connecting hole 4012. The other end of the first elastic member 404 is connected to the rod body 403. Specifically, the rod body 403 includes a large diameter portion and a small diameter portion of unequal diameters, wherein a hole is provided in the large diameter portion, and the first elastic member 404 extends into the hole and is connected to the large diameter portion. The small diameter portion can extend into the insertion hole 3021 and can be used to connect the output shaft assembly 30. A step is formed between the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion, which can limit the output shaft assembly 30 and prevent the output shaft assembly 30 and the body of the coupling assembly 40 from colliding with each other and generating noise. When the telescopic rod 410 cannot be inserted into the insertion hole 3021, since the telescopic rod 410 has the function of axial telescopic expansion, the end of the telescopic rod 410 will be retracted into the body of the coupling assembly 40, and once the telescopic rod 410 rotates to a position aligned with the insertion hole 3021, the telescopic rod 410 will be connected to the output shaft assembly 30 after popping out. Therefore, the telescopic rod 410 ensures the connection between the coupling assembly 40 and the output shaft assembly 30. When the connection between the coupling assembly 40 and the output shaft assembly 30 needs to be disconnected, the output shaft assembly 30 only needs to be detached to separate the insertion hole 3021 from the rod body 403 of the telescopic rod 410. The structure is simple and easy to implement.
