Title:
VEHICLE WIPER DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE WIPER DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/126415
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a vehicle wiper device and a method for controlling the vehicle wiper device that can reduce a feeling of discomfort that occurs when the position of a wiping range of a wiper arm changes. When a switch that causes an expanded wiping operation to be performed is on, a microcomputer 58 performs wiping-range position-change control in which the position of a wiping range of a passenger-seat-side wiper blade 36 is changed upward on the passenger seat side by initiating lengthening of a passenger-seat-side wiper arm 35 when the passenger-seat-side wiper blade 36 reverses direction from either of an upper reversal position P1P and a lower reversal position P2P by initiating rotation of an output shaft of a second motor 12 in a prescribed direction once a rotation angle of an output shaft of a first motor 11 has reached an angle that corresponds to a position in a prescribed range close to either of the upper reversal position P1P and the lower reversal position P2P.
