AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional electric heating rainproof technology is ineffective in continuous rainy weather. Raindrops cannot evaporate quickly, which obstructs the rearview mirror's field of vision and increases the risk of accidents.

Method used

The rainproof device, consisting of a ring-shaped base plate and multiple nozzles, forms a ring-shaped airflow to isolate raindrops by supplying air from an air source. It is combined with a rain sensor and control components to adjust the airflow intensity and is equipped with a heating element to work together to achieve intelligent and automated control.

🎯Benefits of technology

It effectively blocks raindrops, improves the clarity of the rearview mirror, enhances driving safety, reduces energy consumption, adapts to different rainfall intensities and environmental conditions, and ensures clear visibility for the driver.

Abstract

This application relates to a rainproof device and a vehicle. The rainproof device includes: an annular base plate located between a housing and a lens; multiple nozzles arranged at intervals around the circumference of the annular base plate and fixedly connected to the annular base plate and / or the housing; and an air source connected to each of the multiple nozzles. When the air source supplies air to the multiple nozzles, the airflow from the multiple nozzles can form an annular airflow around the lens, thereby isolating raindrops and preventing them from falling onto the lens, effectively improving the rearview mirror's visibility in rainy weather and enhancing driving safety.
