초록

플랫 블레이드 와이퍼의 블레이드의 누름압 분포를 조정하여 역전과정에서 발생되는 진동을 저감하는 방법을 제시하였다. 블레이드와 유리면 사이에 길이방향으로 불균일한 누름압 분포를 도입, 고무스트립에 점진적인 역전을 유도함으로써 역전과정에서 발생하는 충격력을 저감하였다. 블레이드 내의 바디스프링 형상을 이전 연구에서 제시된 방법을 통해 구해진 형태를 적용함으로써 누름압 분포를 조정하였다. 이 방법을 적용하여 전체 길이에 균일한 누름압과 불균일한 누름압을 발생시키는 두 종류의 블레이드를 개발한 다음 누름압을 측정하여 확인하였다. 두 블레이드에서 발생하는 수직방향 및 횡방향 진동을 측정 비교한 결과, 불균일한 누름압을 가진 블레이드가 균일한 누름압의 블레이드에 비해 훨씬 작은 수직방향 진동을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

This research introduces a new method to attenuate flip-over vibration generation in the flat blade windshield wiper by adjusting the contact pressure between the windshield glass and the blade. The knocking force in the flip-over action of the blade is decreased by inducing gradual tilting-over along the rubber strip of the blade. This gradual tilting-over is induced by introducing a non-uniform contact pressure distribution between the blade and windshield glass. The contact pressure distribution is adjusted by controlling the unloaded profile of the body spring in the blade using a procedure proposed in a previous study. Two blades, one blade designed to generate a uniform pressure distribution and the other designed to generate non-uniform pressure distribution, are developed using the procedure. Contact pressure distributions of the developed blades are measured using a special device and compared with the intended distributions confirming the similarities between the two groups. Vertical and lateral vibrations of the two blades are measured under realistic operating condition simulated by a wiper test rig. The vertical vibrations of the blade with non-uniform contact pressure are substantially smaller than corresponding vibrations of the blade with uniform contact pressure over the entire rubber strip.
