Abstract

SE PRESENTA UN MONTAJE DE UNA UNIDAD SENSORA (17) SOBRE LA SUPERFICIE INTERIOR DEL PARABRISAS DE UN VEHICULO (14) PARA DETECTAR LA PRESENCIA DE HUMEDAD SOBRE LA SUPERFICIE EXTERIOR Y CONTROLAR EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LOS LIMPIAPARABRISAS (15) EN RESPUESTA A LA MISMA. LA UNIDAD SENSORA COMPRENDE UN BLOQUE (18) EN EL CUAL ESTAN DISPUESTOS UNOS ORIFICIOS ANGULARMENTE ORIENTADOS (22). UNOS TUBOS DE LUZ (23) EN UN PRIMER CONJUNTO DE ORIFICIOS COMUNICAN CON FUENTES DE LUZ (25) PARA TRANSMITIR LA LUZ A LA SUPERFICIE EXTERIOR DEL PARABRISAS, Y UNOS TUBOS DE LUZ EN UN SEGUNDO CONJUNTO DE ORIFICIOS TRANSMITEN LA LUZ REFLEJADA DESDE LA SUPERFICIE EXTERIOR HASTA LOS FOTODETECTORES (29). LOS EXTREMOS INFERIORES DE LOS TUBOS DE LUZ SON COPLANARES O ESTAN ALGO ELEVADOS POR ENCIMA DE LA SUPERFICIE DEL BLOQUE QUE SE FIJARA EN EL PARABRISAS. EL BLOQUE SE FIJA A LA SUPERFICIE INTERIOR DEL PARABRISAS MEDIANTE UNA CAPA ADHESIVA DE DOBLE CARA QUE ADHIERE DE FORMA SEGURA EL BLOQUE A LA SUPERFICIE DEL PARABRISAS Y ACOPLA OPTICAMENTE LOS TUBOS DE LUZ AL PARABRISAS.
