본 논문에서는 강수량과 자동차 주행속도 등의 환경조건에 따라 와이퍼 속도를 일정하게 적용한 기존의 시스템을 개선하여 운전자의 개인 특성에 의해서도 속도 변경이 가능하게 함으로서 인간에게 조금 더 친밀감을 제공하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 초기 와이퍼 속도는 입력받은 강수량과 자동차 주행 속도로 추론하여 구하였다. 추론된 와이퍼 속도를 운전자의 개인 특성에 따라 변경하고자 할 경우, 해당 음성명령을 입력받아 재 추론하였다. 음성인식을 위해서는 고립단어 인식에 적절한 DTW방식을 사용하였고, 와이퍼 속도는 퍼지 추론을 적용하여 구하였다.

In the present study, a three-dimensional CFD simulation on aerodynamic lift acting on windshield wiper blades was performed to improve the wiping performance of a vehicle moving at a high speed. To predict the reliable flow characteristics around the windshield wiper system, the computational domain included the full vehicle model with detailed geometry of wiper blades in the wind tunnel. From the numerical results, the drag and lift coefficients of wiper blade were obtained for the performance of windshield wiper. With this aerodynamic characteristics of windshield wiper, the effects of wiping angles and hood tip angle on the wiping performance of the windshield wiper were evaluated.

This paper examines the design for improving the wiper system of rotorcraft. During rotorcraft operation, the wiping performance and excessive clearance can decrease. The wiper system consists of a wiper arm assembly, motor, convertor and flex drive. If there is a problem with the wiper system, the operation ability decreases because the operation is restricted in a rainy environment. There are two main causes of the problem of the wiper system: the lifting forces acting on the wiper arm in aircraft flight and the excessive gap of the components. To remedy these two problems, the wiper arm was improved. The improvements included increased contact pressure on the wiper arm (spring tension), improved gear clearance, and material and shape changes. Durability test, aircraft ground test and flight test were carried out to verify the improved shape, and it was confirmed that the wiping performance and clearance problems were solved. Currently, the rotorcraft is operated without problem by applying the improved shape, and this design improvement process will be a useful reference for future rotorcraft development.

와이퍼 작동 중에 발생하는 진동소음 중 1000Hz 이상의 스퀼 소음은 발생 메커니즘이 정확하게 알려지지 않았으며 발생하는 조건도 불규칙하다. 이 스퀼 소음의 발생 빈도 및 주파수를 변경하는 설계를 위하여 스퀼 진동 소음의 발생 메커니즘의 원인분석이 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다. 이 논문에서는 자동차 와이퍼 시스템에서 워셔액을 분사하였을 때 발생하는 스퀼 소음을 측정하고 인자 별로 분석하였다. 스퀼 소음이 발생하는 인자들을 마찰계수와 연관이 있는 인자, 기하학적인 인자, 와이퍼의 운동과 관련된 인자들로 나누어 분석하였다. 실제 와이퍼 시스템을 구현하기 위하여 모터와 원판 지지대 등을 이용하였고, 마이크로폰, 레이저 바이브로미터, 노이즈북, 아르테미스를 이용하여 측정 및 분석하였다.

The efficiency of the car's wiper blade has a great contribution to the guarantee of security. To guarantee the wiper blade's ability of getting rid of dust sticking on the glass surface, the qualities of lubricant, durability, heat resistant, low temperature, ozone resistant, chemical resistant must be good as well as it being noiseless. Like this, in order to improve the wiper's skills, it is essential to have a system that is able to assess and analyse the properties of the wiper. In this paper, to create a system that measures the car's wiper pressure, an analog/digital converter (ADC) that receives signals generated from the pressure sensor and transmits it to a personal computer is proposed. The designed ADC is one of the pipeline ADCs that can obtain fast movement rate and also a structure that can optimize the entire system's area as well as the consumption of strength.

The wiper system of a vehicle is important because it wipes the windshield, thereby enabling drivers to see through the windshield even under conditions of rain and snow. The blade is the key component of the wiper system because it wipes the windshield. When wiper-arm spring causes the blade to be pressed on the windshield optimum performance of wiping can be achieved when appropriate contact pressure is maintained. In this study, a dynamic analysis of the wiper system is carried out. A three-dimensional finite-element model of the wiper system is generated using SAMCEF, a commercial structural dynamic analysis program. The distribution of the contact pressure of the blade in its dynamic state is calculated. The simulation result is compared to the experiment result. Using the results of this study, the contact pressure of the blade can be estimated.

The vehicle exterior design is the main parameter of aerodynamic wind noise, but the modification of it is nearly impossible at a proto-type stage. Therefore, it is very important to verify exterior design and estimate the correct wind noise level at the early vehicle design stages. The numerical simulations of aerodynamic wind noises around A-pillar and wiper were developed for specific vehicle exterior designs, but could not be directly used for the discussions with designers because these need complex modeling and simulation process. This study proposes new approach to A-pillar and wiper wind noise estimation at design stage using response surface methodology of modeFRONTIER, of which database is composed of PowerFLOW simulation, PowerCLAY modeling, SEA-Baced (Statistical Energy Analysis-Based) interior noise simulation, and turbulent acoustic power simulation. New design parameters are defined and their contributions are analyzed. A state-of-the-art, easy and reliable CAT (Computer Aided Test) tool for A-pillar and wiper wind noise are acquired from this study, which shows high usefulness in car development.

A thin and porous non-flammable wiper was prepared by phosphorus acid solution treatment and subsequent oven annealing. The H₃PO₃ treatment improved flame retardancy of wiper paper to nonflammable level. Thermogravimetric analyses showed that residues increased to 50% at 700℃, which means this treatment helps dehydration of the cellulose chain and promotes the formation of char-like structures during the burning. FT-IR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that some of the added H₃PO₃ could react with the functional groups of the cellulose chain. The reacted H₃PO₃ components promote dehydration of the cellulose components and the formation of a char-like structure and improve the flame retardancy of the wiper paper.

The pole antenna of vehicles for AM/FM radio broadcasting receptions has many probems, such as damageable mechanical system and noise etc. It is considered that noise is composed of the structural vibration noise and the air flow induced aerodynamic noise. Also we find out that the setting process of a printed on-glass automobile antenna has many difficulties. Recently, the above mentioned problems can be reduced by employing enhanced wiper antenna which utilizes the windshied wiper arm. The new system is a passive antenna. In this study, experiments for the characteristics of a wiper antenna by measuring the SWR, radiation pattern and received powe have been carried out. The experimental results show that the efficiency of the wiper antenna has better performance than any other antenna.
