Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to a windshield wiper and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Windshield wipers are mounted on the front side of a car's windshield to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the view.

[0003] In related technologies, a windshield wiper includes a base, a first swivel arm, and a second swivel arm. The base is installed inside the car body, and the first swivel arm is connected to the base. The second swivel arm is rotatably connected to the first swivel arm and is used to mount the wiper blades. In areas with outdoor temperatures below 0°C, such as during heavy snow or rain, after parking the car in an open-air parking lot, most users will pull the second swivel arm upwards to prevent the wiper blades from freezing. This separates the second swivel arm and the wiper from the windshield, at which point the second swivel arm is vertically upwards.

[0004] However, when foreign objects fall (such as tree branches), they may hit the second control arm, causing irreversible damage to the second control arm and wiper blades, resulting in property loss for the user. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In one possible implementation, the base has a third magnet on the side near the first swing arm;

[0021] The first end of the first pendulum has a fourth magnet on the side near the base, and the third magnet and the fourth magnet attract each other.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the support plate assembly includes a drive device and a support plate;

[0023] The driving device is used to drive the support plate to slide along the length direction of the first rocker arm.

[0031] In a second aspect, this disclosure provides an automobile that includes windshield wipers as described in any of the first aspects.

[0032] The technical solution provided in this disclosure includes at least the following beneficial effects:

[0033] This disclosure provides a windshield wiper that, when it is necessary to separate the second swivel arm from the windshield, pushes the transmission frame assembly, causing the limiting protrusion assembly to move out of the first groove. Then, pull the first swivel arm until the limiting protrusion assembly extends into the second groove, thereby separating the first swivel arm from the windshield. At this time, the support plate assembly supports the connection between the first and second swivel arms, so the second swivel arm can separate from the windshield under the action of the first swivel arm and the support plate assembly, thus preventing the second swivel arm from freezing to the windshield. In this way, after the second swivel arm is separated from the windshield, it remains parallel to the windshield rather than vertically upward, and is still supported by the support plate assembly, making it less susceptible to damage from falling foreign objects.

[0034] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0055] Windshield wipers are mounted on the front side of a car's windshield to clear rain, snow, and dust from the windshield that obstruct the view.

[0056] In related technologies, a windshield wiper includes a base, a first swivel arm, and a second swivel arm. The base is installed inside the car body, and the first swivel arm is connected to the base. The second swivel arm is rotatably connected to the first swivel arm and is used to mount the wiper blades. In areas with outdoor temperatures below 0°C, such as during heavy snow or rain, after parking the car in an open-air parking lot, most users will pull the second swivel arm upwards to prevent the wiper blades from freezing. This separates the second swivel arm and the wiper from the windshield, at which point the second swivel arm is vertically upwards.

[0057] However, when foreign objects fall (such as tree branches), they may hit the second control arm, causing irreversible damage to the second control arm and wiper blades, resulting in property loss for the user.

[0058] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this disclosure provides a windshield wiper that can prevent damage from falling foreign objects. The implementation of the windshield wiper is described below by way of example.

[0059] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the windshield wiper includes a base 1, a transmission block 2, a first swing arm 3, a transmission frame assembly 4, a second swing arm 5, and a support plate assembly 6. The transmission block 2 is rotatably connected to the base 1 and has a first groove 21 and a second groove 22 along its axial direction. The first groove 21 is closer to the windshield than the second groove 22. The first end 301 of the first swing arm 3 has a receiving cavity 30, which surrounds the transmission block 2 and is slidably connected to it along its axial direction. The interior of the first end 301 has a limiting protrusion assembly 31 that extends into either the first groove 21 or the second groove 22. The transmission frame assembly 4 is at least partially located inside the receiving cavity 30 and is used to drive the limiting protrusion assembly 31 to extend and retract radially along the transmission block 2. The second swing arm 5 is rotatably connected to the second end 302 of the first swing arm 3 and is used to connect the windshield wiper. The support plate assembly 6 is slidably connected to the first swing arm 3 and is located on the side of the first swing arm 3 closest to the windshield. The support plate assembly 6 is configured to avoid the second rocker arm 5 when the limiting protrusion assembly 31 is located in the first groove 21, and to support the second rocker arm 5 when the limiting protrusion assembly 31 is located in the second groove 22.

[0060] The base 1 includes a mounting base 11, a drive rod 12, and a support base 13. The mounting base 11 is installed inside the vehicle. The two ends of the drive rod 12 are connected to the mounting base 11 and the support base 13, respectively. The drive rod 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 11 and is used to drive the first swing arm 3 to rotate. The first swing arm 3 is located on the side of the support base 13 away from the mounting base 11.

[0061] The axis of rotation between the second pendulum 5 and the second end 302 of the first pendulum 3 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation between the first pendulum 3 and the base 1.

[0062] The technical solution provided in this disclosure involves pushing the transmission frame assembly 4 when it is necessary to separate the second swing arm 5 from the car windshield, causing the limiting protrusion assembly 31 to move out of the first groove 21. Then, the first swing arm 3 is pulled until the limiting protrusion assembly 31 extends into the second groove 22, thereby separating the first swing arm 3 from the car windshield. At this time, the support plate assembly 6 supports the connection between the first swing arm 3 and the second swing arm 5, so the second swing arm 5 can separate from the car windshield under the action of the first swing arm 3 and the support plate assembly 6. In this way, after the second swing arm 5 is separated from the car windshield, it remains parallel to the windshield rather than vertically upward, and it is also supported by the support plate assembly 6, thus making it less susceptible to damage from falling foreign objects.

[0063] In some examples, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the limiting protrusion assembly 31 includes an elastic element 311, a limiting block 312, and a protrusion 313. The inner wall of the receiving cavity 30 is provided with a sliding groove 303, and the limiting block 312 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 303. Both ends of the elastic element 311 are respectively connected to the bottom of the sliding groove 303 and the limiting block 312, and the protrusion 313 is located on the side wall of the limiting block 312. The transmission frame assembly 4 includes a transmission frame 41, a button 42, and a pressure block 43. Both ends of the transmission frame 41 are respectively connected to the button 42 and the pressure block 43. The first end 301 has a through hole 3010, through which the button 42 extends. When the button 42 is pressed, the pressure block 43 drives the limiting block 312 to move out of the first groove 21 or the second groove 22 via the protrusion 313. When the button 42 is released, the elastic element 311 drives the limiting block 312 to extend into the first groove 21 or the second groove 22.

[0064] When it is necessary to separate the first rocker arm 3 from the windshield, press button 42 to move the transmission frame 41 and the pressure block 43 towards the base 1. During the movement of the pressure block 43, the protrusion 313 is gradually squeezed, causing the protrusion 313 to move away from the transmission block 2. Since the protrusion 313 is connected to the side of the limiting block 312, the protrusion 313 will drive the limiting block 312 out of the first groove 21, at which time the elastic element 311 is compressed in the slide groove 303. Then, pull the first rocker arm 3 outward and release button 42. During the pulling of the first rocker arm 3, the limiting block 312 abuts against the outer wall of the transmission block 2, and the elastic element 311 is always in a compressed state. When the limiting block 312 of the first rocker arm 3 moves to the second groove 22, since there is no compression from the outer wall of the transmission block 2, the elastic element 311 extends out of the slide groove 303, thereby allowing the limiting block 312 to extend into the second groove 22.

[0065] When it is necessary to separate the first lever 3 from the windshield, the operation is similar to the above, so it will not be described again here.

[0066] In some examples, the limiting block 312 has a protrusion 313 on both sides. Correspondingly, the transmission frame assembly 4 has at least two pressure blocks 43 for pressing the protrusions 313. This allows the limiting block 312 to be subjected to more even force, thereby ensuring that the limiting block 312 can be smoothly removed from the first groove 21 or the second groove 22.

[0067] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the protrusion 313 is cylindrical, and the axis of the protrusion 313 is perpendicular to the extension and contraction direction of the elastic member 311.

[0068] Of course, in other examples, the protrusion 313 may also be cuboid. This disclosure does not specifically limit the shape and size of the protrusion 313.

[0069] For example, the elastic element 311 is a spring.

[0070] In other examples, the elastic element 311 may also be a flexible rod capable of extension and retraction. This disclosure does not specifically limit the elastic element 311.

[0071] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the transmission frame 41 includes a ring 411 and multiple connecting rods 412. The ring 411 surrounds the transmission block 2, and the multiple connecting rods 412 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the transmission block 2. The two ends of the connecting rods 412 are respectively connected to the ring 411 and the button 42. The pressure block 43 is fixed to the side of the ring 411 away from the connecting rods 412.

[0072] The transmission frame 41 has a hollow structure, which makes the overall weight of the transmission frame 41 relatively low, thus ensuring that the transmission frame 41 can be smoothly reset after the user releases the button 42.

[0073] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting rod 412 includes a first rod body 4121 and a second rod body 4122, which are connected and arranged in a bent manner. The end of the first rod body 4121 is connected to the ring 411, and the end of the second rod body 4122 is connected to the button 42.

[0074] In some examples, the end of the receiving cavity 30 away from the base 1 has a first magnet. The end of the transmission frame assembly 4 away from the base 1 has a second magnet, and the first and second magnets attract each other. Thus, when the user stops pressing the transmission frame assembly 4, the transmission frame assembly 4 will move along the inner wall near the first end 301 under the magnetic force of the first magnet, thereby resetting the transmission frame assembly 4. The second magnet may be located on the second rod 4122 of the connecting rod 412.

[0075] In some examples, the base 1 has a third magnet on the side near the first rocker arm 3. The first end 301 of the first rocker arm 3 has a fourth magnet on the side near the base 1, and the third and fourth magnets attract each other. The third magnet is located on the side of the support 13 away from the mounting base 11. When the limiting protrusion assembly 31 is located in the first groove 21, the first end 301 is in contact with the support 13. Under the magnetic force of the third and fourth magnets, there is a strong connection force between the first end 301 and the support 13, which makes the first rocker arm 3 and the base 1 have a high connection strength, thereby improving the stability after the first rocker arm 3 and the base 1 are connected.

[0076] When the first swing arm 3 separates from the windshield, the support plate assembly 6 supports the connection between the second end 302 of the first swing arm 3 and the second swing arm 5, preventing the second swing arm 5 from rotating in the direction closer to the windshield. The implementation of the support plate assembly 6 will be described below by way of example.

[0077] In some examples, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the support plate assembly 6 includes a drive device 61 and a support plate 62. The drive device 61 drives the support plate 62 to slide along the length of the first rocker arm 3. When the first rocker arm 3 moves away from the windshield, the drive device 61 drives the support plate 62 to slide away from the first end 301 of the first rocker arm 3. When the first rocker arm 3 moves towards the windshield, the drive device 61 drives the support plate 62 to slide towards the first end 301 of the first rocker arm 3.

[0078] The implementation of the drive device 61 will now be described by way of example.

[0079] In some examples, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the drive device 61 includes a first gear 611, a second gear 612, and a transmission chain 613. The first gear 611 and the second gear 612 are connected by the transmission chain 613. The first gear 611 is rotatably connected to the first end 301, and the transmission block 2 has a first sawtooth structure 23, which meshes with the first gear 611. The second gear 612 is rotatably connected to the second end 302, and the support plate 62 has a second sawtooth structure 620, which meshes with the second gear 612.

[0080] When the first rocker arm 3 moves away from the windshield, it also moves away from the base 1, causing the first gear 611 to move. Since the first gear 611 meshes with the first sawtooth structure 23, it rotates. Simultaneously, the first gear 611 drives the second gear 612 to rotate via the transmission chain 613. Then, the second gear 612 pushes the support plate 62 to move via the second sawtooth structure 620, causing the support plate 62 to move to the connection point between the first rocker arm 3 and the second rocker arm 5.

[0081] Correspondingly, when the first rocker arm 3 moves towards the windshield, it also moves towards the base 1, driving the first gear 611 to move. Since the first gear 611 meshes with the first sawtooth structure 23, it rotates. Simultaneously, the first gear 611 drives the second gear 612 to rotate via the transmission chain 613. Then, the second gear 612 pushes the support plate 62 to move via the second sawtooth structure 620, causing the support plate 62 to no longer support the second rocker arm 5.

[0082] Of course, in some other examples, the support plate assembly 6 may not include the drive unit 61, and the support plate 62 may be moved manually by the user.

[0083] In some examples, such as Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the second end 302 of the first swing arm 3 has a slide rod 32, which is parallel to the length direction of the first swing arm 3. The support plate 62 is fitted around the slide rod 32 and is slidably connected to the slide rod 32. The side of the second end 302 of the first swing arm 3 facing the base 1 may have a groove, and the slide rod 32 is fixed in the groove.

[0084] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the support plate 62 includes a first plate 621 and two second plates 622. The second plates 622 are connected to the first plate 621 near the side of the first rocker arm 3. The length direction of the second plates 622 is the same as the length direction of the first rocker arm 3, while the length direction of the first plate 621 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second plates 622. This allows the support plate 62 to be relatively long, exceeding its travel distance. This ensures that when the first rocker arm 3 separates from the windshield, the support plate 62 can support the connection between the first rocker arm 3 and the second rocker arm 5.

[0085] The process of moving the first pendulum 3 will be described below by way of example.

[0086] When the first rocker arm 3 is pulled outward, button 42 is pressed first, causing pressure block 43 to squeeze protrusion 313, thereby removing limiting block 312 from the first groove 21. Then, the first rocker arm 3 is pulled outward while button 42 is released, causing transmission frame assembly 4 to move along the inner wall near the first end 301 under the magnetic force of the first magnet, thereby resetting transmission frame assembly 4. During the outward pulling of the first rocker arm 3, the first gear 611 drives the second gear 612 to rotate through transmission chain 613. At the same time, the second gear 612 pushes the support plate 62 to move away from the first end 301 of the first rocker arm 3 through the second sawtooth structure 620 on the support plate 62. When the limiting block 312 of the first rocker arm 3 extends into the second groove 22, the first rocker arm 3 is fixed, and the support plate 62 moves to the connection between the first rocker arm 3 and the second rocker arm 5.

[0087] When the first rocker arm 3 is pushed inward, button 42 is pressed first, causing pressure block 43 to squeeze protrusion 313, thereby removing limiting block 312 from the second groove 22. Then, the first rocker arm 3 is pushed inward while button 42 is released, causing transmission frame assembly 4 to move along the inner wall near the first end 301 under the magnetic force of the first magnet, thereby resetting transmission frame assembly 4. During the process of pushing the first rocker arm 3 inward, the first gear 611 drives the second gear 612 to rotate through transmission chain 613. At the same time, the second gear 612 pushes the support plate 62 to move along the direction near the first end 301 of the first rocker arm 3 through the second serrated structure 620 on the support plate 62. When the limiting block 312 of the first rocker arm 3 extends into the second groove 22, the first rocker arm 3 is fixed, and the support plate 62 moves to the position of the first rocker arm 3 and only contacts the first rocker arm 3.

[0088] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this disclosure and is not intended to limit this disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the principles of this disclosure should be included within the protection scope of this disclosure.
