Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-6The car windshield wiper linkage assembly includes a drive rod 1 and a main rod 2 hinged to the drive rod 1. A drive motor 3 is provided on one side surface of the main rod 2, and an mounting block 4 is integrally formed on one side surface of the main rod 2. A transmission gear 5 is rotatably connected inside the mounting block 4. The transmission gear 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 3. A rack 6 that meshes with the transmission gear 5 is slidably connected inside the main rod 2. A support seat 7 is provided at the upper end of the rack 6. A support foot 8 is provided on the upper surface of the support seat 7. An adjustment rod 9 is hinged to the upper end of the support foot 8. A main body 11 with a wiper blade 10 is provided at the upper end of the adjustment rod 9. The wiper blade 10 of the main body 11 can remove dirt. A limiting component is provided at the upper end of the main rod 2. The limiting component includes a cover plate 12. The cover plate 12 is threadedly connected to the main rod 2 by multiple bolts 13.

[0023] The cover plate 12 has multiple first concealed grooves 14 that correspond one-to-one with the bolts 13. The upper part of the bolts 13 is placed in the first concealed grooves 14, and a waterproof cover 15 is threaded onto the inner wall of the first concealed groove 14. The waterproof cover 15 prevents rainwater from corroding the bolts 13.

[0024] The waterproof cover 15 has a handle 16 on its upper surface. The handle 16 makes it easy to screw the waterproof cover 15.

[0025] A second concealed groove 17 is provided on the lower surface of the cover plate 12, and a sealing gasket 18 is provided inside the second concealed groove 17. The sealing gasket 18 plays a sealing role for the main rod 2.

[0026] Both the front and rear inner walls of the main rod 2 are provided with protrusions 19, and both the front and rear surfaces of the rack 6 are provided with first sliding grooves 20, with the protrusions 19 extending into the first sliding grooves 20. By sliding the protrusions 19 in the first sliding grooves 20, the rack 6 moves more smoothly.

[0027] The support base 7 has a second sliding groove 21 on both its front and rear surfaces, and the protrusion 19 extends into the second sliding groove 21. By sliding the protrusion 19 in the second sliding groove 21, the support base 7 moves more smoothly.

[0028] Working principle: When dirt obstructs the driver's view in the blind spot of the glass, the drive motor 3 is started to rotate the transmission gear 5. The transmission gear 5 meshes with the rack 6, pushing the support seat 7 and causing the adjusting rod 9 to extend outwards towards the main rod 2. The wiper blade 10 on the main body 11 can then clean the dirt. If the area of ​​dirt is large and the adjusting rod 9 extends completely beyond the main rod 2, the support foot 8 can be hinged to the adjusting rod 9, causing the main body 11 to swing, thereby quickly cleaning the dirt. The limiting component is designed so that by unscrewing the bolt 13 and removing the cover plate 12, the support seat 7 and rack 6 can be removed, facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the rack 6 and preventing dust or impurities from entering the rack 6, which could prevent the transmission gear 5 and rack 6 from meshing. This linkage assembly uses a single rack 6 drive, reducing the size of the main rod 2 and making it lighter.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
