Title:
WIPER SYSTEM CONTROL METHOD AND WIPER SYSTEM CONTROL DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/146868
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A wiper system according to the present invention is provided with wiper blades (2a, 2b) for performing a reciprocal wiping operation on a front glass (3), and a rain drop sensor (9) that senses the current amount of rainfall on the basis of rain drops attached to the front glass (3). When a predetermined amount or more of rainfall is detected by the rain drop sensor (9), heavy rain mode is implemented to narrow the wiping range of the wiper blades (2a, 2b) compared to the wiping range of normal wiping operation. In the heavy rain mode, the wiper blade (2a) located on the driver side is operated at high speed (Hi) in a heavy rain wiping region (X) set around the forward field of view of the driver so as to ensure the driver's field of view.
