[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the utility model discloses a wiper routine test automatic detection device, including: frame support 100, installation part 200, laser displacement sensor 400, angle sensor 500, compression force measuring assembly 600. Frame support 100 is the rectangular frame structure of stainless steel welded forming. Frame support 100 center is provided with glass plate 110, and the four corners of frame support 100 are all bolted with pressing plate to be used for fixing glass plate 110. Installation part 200 sets up at frame support 100 bottom, and installation part 200 is stainless steel plate, is set up with a plurality of bolt holes on installation part 200 to facilitate installation wiper assembly 300, and wiper assembly 300 includes wiper power part 310 and swing arm 320, and wiper power part 310 is used to drive swing arm 320 to move on glass plate 110, and wiper assembly 300 is the device that needs to be tested, and its structure and installation mode belong to prior art, so it is not described in detail. Laser displacement sensor 400 sets up at the left and right sides of frame support 100, and laser displacement sensor 400 is used to detect the displacement of swing arm 320, and after the displacement data of swing arm 320 is measured by laser displacement sensor 400, the frequency and the angle of swing of swing arm 320 can be calculated by combining the length of swing arm 320 and the distance between the two laser displacement sensors 400. Its calculation process is realized by computer, and the calculation steps are prior art, so it is not described in detail. Angle sensor 500 is connected with the output shaft transmission of wiper power part 310, and angle sensor 500 selects encoder, and angle sensor 500 is used to detect the rotation angle of the output shaft of wiper power part 310, and the frequency and the angle of swing of swing arm 320 can be calculated according to the change value of the rotation angle of the output shaft of wiper power part 310. Since the angle and the frequency of swing of swing arm 320 are important parameters for judging whether wiper power part 310 works normally, two different types of sensors with different measurement principles are used for measurement, effectively ensuring the accuracy of the measurement result. Compression force measuring assembly 600 can be adjusted and installed on glass plate 110, and compression force measuring assembly 600 is used to measure the compression force between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110. If the pressure between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110 is too small, it will cause that rainwater cannot be wiped clean, and the driver's sight will be affected, and if the pressure between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110 is too large, it will cause that the service life of swing arm 320 is shortened and wiper power part 310 works overload, so the pressure between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110 needs to be controlled within a suitable range. In the case that wiper power part 310 stops, the pressure between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110 is measured by putting compression force measuring assembly 600 between swing arm 320 and glass plate 110. After compression force measuring assembly 600 is disassembled, it will not affect the measurement of the angle and the frequency of swing of swing arm 320.

In the case that the wiper power part 310 is stopped, the compressed air is introduced into the compressed air pipeline, and then the air inlet valve of the compressed air is closed, and the pressure drop of the pressure gauge is observed. In the case that the wiper power part 310 is qualified, the pressure drop measured by the pressure gauge should be less than the preset value. It can be foreseen that if the wiper power part 310 is electrically driven, the pressure gauge measurement can not be used.
[0040] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it can be understood that the frame support 100 is rotatably installed on the rack 700, and the rotation axis of the frame support 100 is horizontally arranged. Since the inclination angles of the windshields of different vehicle models are different. If the inclination angles are inconsistent during testing, the gravity of the swing arm 320 itself will affect the measurement results of the pressing force measurement assembly 600. In order to accurately simulate the actual working condition, the angle of the frame support 100 is adjusted to make the inclination angle of the glass plate 110 the same as that of the wiper assembly 300 during actual working, so as to improve the accuracy of the test results.

It can be foreseen that after the wiper assembly 300 runs for one minute, the control part 800 averages the data collected by the laser displacement sensor 400 and the angle sensor 500 within one minute to reduce the measurement error and improve the test accuracy. The test staff can directly view the measurement results from the display screen 810 to judge whether the tested wiper assembly 300 meets the test standard.

The tester should judge whether the water wiping effect of the wiper assembly 300 meets the test standard according to his own experience. Since the spraying range of a single water spraying head 130 is limited, a plurality of water spraying heads 130 can be provided to increase the coverage area of water spraying.
