Truck and Bus Wiper Customization Solution
Because of the large windshield area of trucks and buses, in order to effectively remove rain and debris, the size of their wipers is usually much larger than that of ordinary small cars. Because when the vehicle is driving at high speed, the large area of the windshield will be subject to greater wind resistance, and a stronger wiper arm is required to ensure the stable operation of the wiper. Therefore, truck and bus wiper arms are usually thicker and stronger to withstand greater wind resistance and pressure from wiper blades.
In order to adapt to the curvature and wiping requirements of large windshields, truck and bus wiper blades are usually made of special designs and materials. Wiper blades may be wider, and the rubber material used requires higher wear resistance and flexibility to ensure that they can maintain good wiping effects during long-term use, while being able to fit closely to the curved surface of the windshield. Some high-end truck and bus wiper blades also use multi-layer rubber structures or add special coatings to improve wiping performance and service life.
Truck and bus wiper customization can provide wiper products that are more in line with actual needs based on vehicle characteristics and usage environment:
1. Detailed measurement and design:
Professionals will make detailed measurements of the windshield of the truck or bus, including key dimensions such as length, curvature, and tilt angle, and understand the vehicle’s usage environment and the customer’s special needs. Based on these data, a wiper solution suitable for the vehicle is designed, including the length, shape, connection method of the wiper arm, and the size, material, and curvature of the wiper blade.
Determine size and strength:
When customizing, high-strength wiper arm materials and high-power wiper motors should be selected to provide sufficient torque and wiper force.
The windshields of trucks and buses are usually large and require longer wiper arms and wiper blades to cover. At the same time, in order to effectively scrape off a large area of rain and debris, the wipers need to have sufficient strength to ensure that they can work properly in various severe weather conditions.
Clearly high durability requirements:
When customizing wipers, pay attention to the durability of the product and choose wiper blade materials that are wear-resistant, anti-aging, and corrosion-resistant.
Trucks and buses usually have long mileage and are used in a complex environment. They may encounter various adverse road conditions and climatic conditions. Therefore, when customizing wipers, we should pay attention to the durability of the product and choose wear-resistant, anti-aging and corrosion-resistant wiper blade materials, such as high-quality synthetic rubber or rubber with special coatings, to extend the service life of wipers, reduce replacement frequency and reduce maintenance costs.
Clarify multi-angle wiping:
The windshield of a bus has a large curvature, and the windshield of a truck sometimes has a special shape or tilt angle, which requires the wiper to adapt to different glass surfaces and achieve multi-angle wiping. When customizing the wiper arm, it is necessary to design it according to the specific shape and angle of the vehicle windshield to ensure that the wiper blade can always maintain a good fit with the glass surface during the wiping process to avoid wiping blind spots.
2. Sample production and testing:
Make samples according to the design plan and then test them on the actual vehicle. The test content includes the wiping effect, fit, noise level, motor power consumption, etc. of the wiper. Conduct simulation tests under different weather conditions and driving speeds to observe whether the wipers can work properly, whether there are problems such as unclean wiping, shaking or excessive noise. Adjust and optimize the samples according to the test results until satisfactory results are achieved.
3. Mass production and quality control:
After the samples pass the test, they enter the mass production stage. During the production process, they are strictly controlled in accordance with the design requirements and quality standards, and each wiper component is strictly inspected for quality to ensure the consistency and stability of the product. From raw material procurement, parts processing to finished product assembly, every link must be quality tested, and unqualified products will not be shipped out.
4. Customization of special functions
Heating function:
For trucks and buses used in cold areas, wipers with heating function can be customized. By embedding heating wires in the wiper blades or using heating coating technology, snow and ice on the glass can be quickly melted in a low temperature environment to prevent the wiper blades from freezing, ensure the normal operation of the wipers, and provide a clear view for the driver.
Automatic sensing function:
Combined with the vehicle’s rain sensor, a wiper system with automatic sensing function is customized. The system can automatically adjust the wiper speed according to the amount of rain on the windshield, without the driver’s frequent manual operation, improving driving convenience and safety. For example, in light rain, the wipers wipe at a low speed, and as the rain increases, the wipers automatically speed up to maintain a good view.
Truck and bus wiper life
The life of truck and bus wipers is affected by many factors. Generally speaking, under normal use, the life of their wipers is as follows:
Rubber Wiper Strips:
Usually need to be replaced every 6 months to 1 year. If the vehicle is used frequently and the driving environment is harsh, such as frequent driving in dusty weather or high temperature, the wiper strips will wear faster and may need to be replaced every 3-6 months.
Truck and Bus Wiper Arm:
If the wiper arm of good quality is not damaged by external impact, its service life is relatively long, generally up to 2-3 years or even longer. However, if the wiper arm is deformed, rusted, or the internal spring is aged, resulting in uneven wiper pressure or failure to work properly, it needs to be replaced in time.
If you find that the wipers are not wiping cleanly, have obvious streaks, make unusual noises when wiping, or the wiper arms are deformed, you should check and replace the wipers in time to ensure driving safety, even if they have not reached the general life span mentioned above.
