Description
上記したレインセンサ1の組み付け順序を以下に説明する。まずウインドシールドガラス8に固定装置5の本体枠部51を接着し、その内側にシリコンシート(図示せず)をたとえば接着する。次に内側ハウジング4と外側ハウジング2とを図中、前後方向に嵌合させた状態にて、外側ハウジング2を固定装置5の一対の係止部52の外側に被せ、内側ハウジング4の光路系41の光授受面をシリコンシートに密着させる。なお、内側ハウジング4の板ばね係止部44、45により板ばね7の両端部を係止させておく。次に、全体としてコ字状の固定部材3の一対の縦プレート部32を外側ハウジング2の下端窓22から上方へ挿入し、固定部材3の縦プレート部32を外側ハウジング2の側壁と内側ハウジング4の側壁との間に押し込む。その結果、縦プレート部32のウインドシールドガラス8側の面から突出する板ばね付勢部34は、板ばね7の後側の主面を上方へ摺動しつつ上方に沿いつつ板ばね7をウインドシールドガラス8側に湾曲させる。これにより、一対の板ばね7の両端部は、光路系41の4隅に個別に近接配置された総計4つの板ばね係止部44、45により、シリコンシートに向けて予め定められた押圧力で押し付けられることになる。
上記実施形態では、内側ハウジング4と外側ハウジング2とは別体に構成したが、内側ハウジング4は外側ハウジング2に対して内側ハウジング4の厚さ方向へ所定の小距離だけ変位可能であればよく、完全に別体に構成されることは必須ではない。
上記説明したレインセンサ1の作用を以下に説明する。ただし、レインセンサ1は従来と同様、回路基板42に固定された発光ダイオードから光路系41及びシリコンシートを通じてウインドシールドガラス8に斜めに赤外光を照射する。回路基板42に設けられた光電変換素子が、ウインドシールドガラス8の外表面からの反射光を光電変換し、回路基板42に設けられた信号処理回路により降雨判定が行われる。この雨滴検出原理自体は本発明の要旨ではない上、もはや周知となっているため、説明を省略する。必要であれば、既出の特許文献などを参照されたい。
上記したレインセンサ1の効果を図6、図7を参照して説明する。
