AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing wiper control devices do not adequately address the issue of wind being drawn into the hood, which can cause wiper members to contact the cowl top panel, leading to deterioration.
Method used
A wiper control device with a controller that adjusts the storage position of wiper members based on vehicle speed, moving them away from the cowl top panel to prevent contact, using a vehicle speed detection unit and storage position change unit to correct the position.
Benefits of technology
Prevents wiper members from contacting the cowl top panel, extending their lifespan and reducing manufacturing energy requirements, contributing to sustainable development goals.

Abstract
To provide a wiper control device for which a countermeasure against entrainment wind has been adopted.SOLUTION: A storage position of a wiper blade 35b changes to an upper inversion position URP side according to speed of a vehicle. Consequently, the wiper blade 35b is prevented from contacting a cowl top panel CT despite that entrainment wind arises in the vicinity of an edge part 12a of a bonnet 12. Accordingly, deterioration of the wiper blade 35b is suppressed and an exchange cycle of the wiper blade 35b can be extended, thus, maintainability can be improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
