How to Adjust the Interval Time of Windshield Wipers?
2 Answers
The method to adjust the interval time of windshield wipers: There is a speed adjustment knob on the wiper lever, which can be used to adjust the intermittent time of the wipers. Generally, the speed adjustment knob has several gears. When the wiper is in the intermittent mode, the speed (wiper frequency) adjusted by the knob also changes step by step. The power source of the wiper comes from the motor, which is the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are quite high, using a DC permanent magnet motor. The wiper motor installed on the front windshield is usually integrated with the worm gear mechanical part. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque. Its output shaft drives the four-bar linkage mechanism, which converts continuous rotational motion into left-right swinging motion.
Oh, this question is actually quite simple. I remember when I first started driving, I didn't know how to adjust the wiper interval either, but I figured it out later. In most cars, there's a rotary knob on the wiper control stalk, right on that lever next to the steering wheel. You can turn it clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the interval time. For example, when it's drizzling, I set it to a medium interval to avoid constant movement; in heavy rain, I speed it up. Safety is also important—if your vision gets blurry, don't hesitate to manually turn them on. It's best to practice turning the knob while parked to see how it works. Don't forget to check the condition of the wiper blades and replace them if they're worn out. In short, adjusting is a practical skill—don't be afraid to experiment, and it'll become second nature with time.
