METHOD FOR DETECTING THE POSITION OF A WIPER ARM FOR A VEHICLE WINDOW WIPING SYSTEM

摘要

Method for detecting the position of a wiper arm (5) for a system (1) for wiping a vehicle window (3), comprising the steps consisting in:
a) measuring or estimating (35) at least one parameter for determining the maintenance or service position,b) comparing (37) the measured or estimated value of said parameter with a reference value or a range of reference values, andc) determining, from the results of the comparison, whether the wiper arm is in maintenance or service position.

1. A method for detecting the position of a wiper arm for a system for wiping a vehicle window, the system comprising:
at least one wiper blade borne by said wiper arm that can be displaced from a so-called maintenance position in which said wiper blade is not in contact with said window, to a so-called service position in which said wiper blade is in contact with said window, at least one motor for driving said wiper arm, and at least one control unit for controlling said motor, the method comprising:
measuring or estimating at least one parameter for determining the maintenance or service position;comparing the measured or estimated value of said parameter with a reference value or a range of reference values; anddetermining, from the results of the comparison, whether said wiper arm is in maintenance or service position.
