欠動作を行な′う。When the switches 23 and 24 are closed, the transistor 16 becomes conductive and energizes the relay coil 14 and its contacts 15
When the transistor 16 is closed, the motor 17 is activated (3) The combination of the rate switch 17b, the resistor, and the charging and discharging of the capacitor causes the transistor 16 to shut off and then conduct again after a certain set time, which is a conventionally known intermittent operation. No way.

止時間が短かくなる。In addition, when the illuminance outside the vehicle becomes dark by the photodetection element 18,
Since the resistance value of the element 18 is large, the comparator 19
, 20 are inverted according to the illuminance outside the vehicle, and the transistor 21
．． 22 are conductive, the relay coils 4 and 6 are attracted, the relay contacts 5 and 7 are conductive, and the lamps 8 and 9 are lit, respectively. At the same time, the transistor 1o becomes conductive,
Since the resistor 11 is inserted in parallel with the resistor 12, the intermittent stop time of the intermittent wiper is shortened.
この様に、夜間は昼間の間欠ＯＦＦ時間が約４秒とする
と、約３〜５割短かくなって、視界を確保することがで
きるものである。In this way, if the intermittent OFF time during the daytime is about 4 seconds at night, the time will be about 30 to 50% shorter, and visibility can be ensured.

ものではない。In addition to the CDS cell, known photodetection layers such as photodiodes, solar cells, and phototransistors can be used as the photodetection layer. When implemented using an analog circuit, the intermittent stop time may be changed by connecting resistors in parallel or by connecting them in series, or by switching the connection of capacitors. Furthermore, it does not prevent the use of digital computers.
