Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile parts, and relates to an auxiliary supporting structure for an automobile wiper. BACKGROUND

[0002] An automobile wiper is an electric cleaning device installed on the windshield of a vehicle, mainly composed of a wiper arm, a wiper blade, a driving motor and a control system. Its core function is to drive the wiper blade to make reciprocating motion on the surface of the windshield through the motor, so as to remove rain, snow, dust or other sundries affecting the driver's vision, ensure that the windshield remains clear and transparent during driving, effectively improve driving safety, and modern wipers usually have multi-speed adjustment function, can automatically adjust the working frequency according to the intensity of precipitation, and some high-end vehicles are also equipped with a rain sensing system to realize intelligent automatic start-stop and wiper speed adjustment. In addition, the wiper can also be used with glass cleaner in dry weather to help clean stubborn stains such as insect glue and oil film on the windshield, and is an important part of the active safety system of the automobile.

[0003] The auxiliary supporting structure of the automobile wiper refers to the enhanced supporting device added on the basis of the traditional wiper arm and wiper blade, mainly used for optimizing the adhesion performance of the wiper blade and the windshield, usually designed with multi-link mechanism or elastic supporting framework, and through distributed pressure points, the wiper blade can adapt to the surface of glass with different curvatures, and ensure that it can still maintain uniform wiping under high-speed driving or adverse weather conditions. Its core role is reflected in three aspects: first, through mechanical compensation, the uneven pressure problem at both ends of the traditional single-arm wiper is eliminated, avoiding the occurrence of wiping blind area; second, flexible connecting pieces are used to buffer wind pressure and vibration impact, significantly reducing abnormal shaking and noise of the wiper blade; third, the application of special materials ensures the supporting stiffness while reducing the moment of inertia, prolonging the service life of the motor. Modern high-end vehicles also integrate aerodynamic deflector plates as an extension function of the auxiliary support, which uses wind pressure to enhance the downward pressure of the wiper blade under high-speed working conditions. This innovative design enables the wiper system to maintain more than 90% wiping coverage at speeds above 120km / h.

[0004] However, in actual use, the connection part of the wiper arm and the driving assembly is exposed to a corrosive environment of rainwater and snowmelt agent for a long time, and the metal parts will gradually oxidize and rust. This rust will cause serious metal adhesion at the connection, and when maintenance personnel need to replace the wiper arm, they often need to exert a lot of disassembly force, which not only greatly increases the difficulty and intensity of the maintenance operation, but also poses a serious safety hazard. During the disassembly process, if the tool slips or the force is out of control, it is easy to cause the maintenance tool or the wiper arm to accidentally hit the windshield, which may cause scratches on the glass surface, or even cause the windshield to crack, seriously affecting driving safety and causing additional maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is that, in actual use, the connection between the wiper arm and the drive assembly is exposed to corrosive environments such as rainwater and de-icing agents for a long time. The metal parts will gradually oxidize and rust. This rust will cause serious metal adhesion at the connection. When maintenance personnel need to replace the wiper arm, they often need to apply great disassembly force. This not only greatly increases the difficulty and intensity of the maintenance work, but also poses a serious safety hazard. During the disassembly process, if the tool slips or the force is out of control, the maintenance tool or wiper arm is very likely to accidentally hit the windshield. This can cause minor scratches on the glass surface or even irreversible damage such as windshield cracks, seriously affecting driving safety and bringing additional maintenance costs.

[0006] This utility model discloses an auxiliary support structure for a car windshield wiper, comprising a wiper arm body and a drive component connecting rod. A connecting frame is rotatably connected to the end of the wiper arm body. A first mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame away from the wiper arm body. A second mounting bracket is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first mounting bracket. The drive component connecting rod is located at the lower end of both the first and second mounting brackets. A serrated post is fixedly connected to the upper end of the drive component connecting rod. A first serrated groove is formed on the inner side of the first mounting bracket, and a second serrated groove is formed on the inner side of the second mounting bracket. Both the first and second serrated grooves engage with the serrated post. A locking component is provided between the first and second mounting brackets, and a limit component is provided on the inner side of both the first and second mounting brackets.

[0007] The limiting component includes a polytetrafluoroethylene gasket. Both ends of the serrated column are fixedly connected with polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets. The inner sides of the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are provided with placement grooves, and the polytetrafluoroethylene gaskets are located inside the placement grooves.

[0008] Both the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket have a vertical chamfer at their closest points.

[0009] The locking assembly includes a countersunk hole. The first mounting bracket has a countersunk hole on the inner side of the end near the vertical chamfer, and the second mounting bracket has a threaded hole on the inner side of the end near the vertical chamfer.

[0010] The saw teeth on the sawtooth column are in equal rows.

[0011] The first and second sawtooth grooves are equally spaced sawtooth grooves and their angles correspond to the angles between the multiple sets of sawtooths on the sawtooth column.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model discloses the beneficial effects are: through moving first mounting frame, make first mounting frame inside first sawtooth groove with the placement groove sleeve the outside of sawtooth column and polytetrafluoroethylene gasket, then rotate second mounting frame, make second mounting frame inside second sawtooth groove with the placement groove sleeve the outside of sawtooth column and polytetrafluoroethylene gasket, then through locking assembly first mounting frame with second mounting frame locking, when needing to disassemble, because first mounting frame with second mounting frame is the design apart and disassembly is not vertical, thereby thoroughly avoided the violent breakage risk of traditional vertical disassembly because of metal adhesion, and then promote maintenance safety and efficiency.

[0013] Screw is passed through the threaded hole, then rotates the screw, makes the screw with the counterbore connection, when needing to disassemble, in reverse order above-mentioned operation process carries out, if necessary can place the iron sheet between two vertical chamfers, thereby prying first mounting frame with second mounting frame, make first mounting frame with second mounting frame apart, thereby make auxiliary staff more easily disassembles the device.
