DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF A WINDSCREEN WIPER MOTOR

摘要

The invention relates to a device for the automatic control of a windscreen wiper motor. Said device has a moisture sensor which emits a signal depending on the moisture on the windscreen or another point on a motor vehicle so that this signal to some extent produces an analog reflection of the moisture varying in time. The output signal of the sensor is evaluated in such a way that it is continuously compared with a threshold value which can be altered. Every time this threshold value is reached or exceeded by a pulse-like change in the sensor output signal, this event is counted. After a given number Z of such events the windscreen wiper motor is switched on.
