Wipers are an important device on automobiles to remove rain, snowflakes, or dust from the windshield in rainy or other bad weather to ensure a clear and safe view for the driver. Although wipers are often used in our daily life, they may not be well known by the names of their various parts. In this article, we will introduce the names of various parts of the wiper to give us a better understanding of this commonly used device.
Wiper blade: The wiper is the main component of the wiper and is usually made of rubber. It is responsible for making contact with the windshield and removing rain, snowflakes, or dust from the glass by swinging back and forth. Wipers come in different lengths and shapes to fit the windshields of different car models.
Wiper arm: The wiper arm is a component that connects the wiper and wiper mechanism. It acts as the arm of the wiper and moves the wiper to the correct position by driving force and makes it sweep the operation. Wiper arms are usually made of metal and are elastic to accommodate the bending of various windshields.
Wiper motor: The wiper motor is the power of the wiper**. It drives the wiper to sweep by rotating the wiper arm. The wiper motor is usually installed in the engine compartment and is connected to the wiper arm by a connecting rod. It can adjust the speed and amplitude of the wiper according to the needs of the driver.
Wiper transmission: The wiper transmission is the part that converts the rotation of the wiper motor into the forward and backward movement of the wiper arm. It usually consists of a gear and linkage mechanism, which is transmitted to the wiper arm by rotating force to produce a normal sweeping action.
Wiper Control Switch: The wiper control switch is a device controlled by the driver to control the working mode and speed of the wiper. Switches usually include adjustment buttons for different gears, such as intermittent, low-speed, high-speed, and automatic modes, to meet the needs of different rain and driving conditions.
Washer Nozzle: The washer nozzle is one of the components that works with the wiper. It is located above the windshield or hidden near the roof of the car and washes the windshield by spraying out a cleaner. The scrubber sprinkler is usually connected to the wiper system to coordinate its operation and ensure the cleaning of the windshield.
Washer Fluid Tank: A washer fluid tank is a container for storing detergent and is connected to a washing nozzle. It is usually located in the engine compartment, **scrubbing liquid to the washing nozzle to achieve the windshield cleaning function. Motorists can keep the system up and running by adding detergent to the detergent tank.
Bottom line: All parts of the wiper work together to keep drivers safe in bad weather. Knowing the names and functions of these parts helps us better understand and maintain the wiper system. When the wiper fails, we can describe the problem more accurately so that we can seek help from a professional technician. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly inspect and maintain the wiper components, which can ensure that the wipers are always in good working condition, provide us with a clear vision, and ensure the safety of driving.
