Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automobile accessories, and in particular to a segmented windshield wiper strip structure. Background Art

[0002] Chinese patent application No. 201710796672.1 discloses a car wiper strip, which relates to the technical field of automobile parts production. The invention uses nitrile rubber, bismaleimide resin, and polymethyl acrylate as main raw materials, and then adds xylene, rosin, cationic starch, diisononyl ester, epoxy soybean oil, and various additives, and then goes through the steps of heating, stirring, three freezing treatments, and then hot melting.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 201810360584.1 discloses a wiper strip comprising a main body made of a first rubber material and a blade portion made of a second rubber material; the blade portion is co-extruded integrally with the main body. The main body and blade portion of the present invention are made of different materials to meet the performance requirements of each.

[0004] With the development of automobile technology, boneless wipers are being used by most car manufacturers, and most models are equipped with boneless wipers when they leave the factory. The main function of the wiper bracket is to support and fix the wiper strips, and evenly distribute the downward force from the rocker arm to the strips. The boneless wiper relies on the rebound force generated by 1 to 2 pre-bent springs to disperse the downward force. Once a boneless wiper is produced, the rebound force generated by the springs being pressed flat on the glass by the rocker arm is fixed. This structure causes the boneless wiper to face the pressure differences of the rocker arms of various models. The performance is not as strong as the traditional bone wiper. Therefore, boneless wipers are more suitable for customized production of reeds according to the rocker arm pressure size and glass curvature of different models. The thickness, width, and curvature of the reed are individually designed to achieve different elastic force data. The original car-matched boneless wipers are designed and produced in this way.

[0005] However, wiper blades vary significantly between models. For example, the original driver's-side boneless wiper blade of a 2015 Haval H6 is 600mm long, with a measured rocker arm downforce of approximately 600 grams-force. The original driver's-side boneless wiper blade of a 2015 Audi A4L is also 600mm long, with a measured rocker arm downforce of approximately 1100 grams-force. With the increasing number of vehicles on the road, all manufacturers, both international and domestic, are focusing on the vast aftermarket. To reduce inventory and achieve universal compatibility, wiper blades within the same series are designed with only one spring force, set at the lower limit of the rocker arm downforce for most models. This lower spring force ensures that the boneless wiper blades can be pressed flat against the windshield on most models, preventing missed wipes. However, this can also result in excessive pressure on the rubber strip near the wiper interface when used on models with high rocker arm pressure. This section of the rubber strip can be quickly flattened, causing malfunction, water marks, and obstructed vision. In order to solve this problem, some manufacturers thicken the blade of the rubber strip to increase the supporting force. However, this overall thickening design makes the blade of the rubber strip harder as a whole, and the scraping attack angle changes, resulting in new problems such as skipping and abnormal noise. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a segmented wiper strip structure, comprising a wiper strip body, a scraper blade provided below the wiper strip body, the cross-section of the wiper strip body presenting a W-shaped structure, the cross-section of the scraper blade presenting a triangular structure, a flip bridge provided between the wiper strip body and the scraper blade, body deformation adjustment grooves symmetrically concave inwardly on both sides of the wiper strip body, a vertical portion provided at the bottom of the scraper blade, a middle horizontal portion of the wiper strip body, a main column portion between the body deformation adjustment grooves on both sides, a flip bridge, a scraper blade waist, and a scraper blade bottom provided with symmetrical left second section, right second section, left third section, and right third section from the middle first section to both sides; the thickness of the first section becomes thinner section by section toward the left second section and the left third section; the thickness of the first section becomes thinner section by section toward the right second section and the right third section.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the first section of the main column between the deformation adjustment grooves on both sides is 2.80 mm, the thickness of the second section is 2.60 mm, and the thickness of the third section is 2.00 mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the first section of the flip bridge is 1.10 mm, the thickness of the second section is 1.00 mm, and the thickness of the third section is 0.70 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the first section of the scraper blade waist is 1.80 mm, the thickness of the second section is 1.69 mm, and the thickness of the third section is 1.20 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the middle horizontal part of the wiper rubber strip body, the main column part between the deformation adjustment grooves on both sides, the flip bridge, the scraper waist, and the scraper bottom are respectively provided with 3 to 10 symmetrical sections from the middle first section to both sides.

[0014] Furthermore, the height of the first vertical portion of the scraper bottom is 0.1 mm, the height of the second vertical portion is 0.56 mm, and the height of the third vertical portion is 0.71 mm.

[0016] The benefit of the present invention is that it has a simple structure. The traditional boneless wiper strip with the same thickness throughout is changed into a wiper strip with segmented thickness. The thickness of the corresponding segment of the strip is designed according to the pressure size of the area. The supporting force of each segment of the strip is changed by changing the thickness, so that the universal multi-functional wiper can adapt well to various car models with huge differences in rocker arm pressure, which effectively improves the wiper's rain-wiping effect and extends the life of the universal multi-functional boneless wiper. It is worthy of wide promotion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
