What powers the windshield wipers?
1 Answers
The power source of the windshield wipers comes from an electric motor, which serves as the core of the entire wiper system. The quality requirements for the wiper motor are very high, as it utilizes a DC permanent magnet motor. The wiper motor installed on the front windshield is integrated with the worm gear mechanical assembly. The function of the worm gear mechanism is to reduce speed and increase torque. Its output shaft drives a four-bar linkage mechanism, which converts continuous rotational motion into a side-to-side oscillating motion. Automotive windshield wipers, also known as wipers, are devices used to sweep away raindrops and dust adhering to the vehicle's windshield, thereby improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety.
