New description: [New technical field] The case is a raindrop sensing device, especially a wide-area raindrop sensing device. The light pipe is designed with a specific angle, which can enter the total reflected light and intensity of the glass according to the light source. Accurately sense the amount of raindrops. [Prior Art] The main function of the car wiper is to remove the water and dirt attached to the windshield to provide a clear view of the driver. When it rains, the driver judges the fog of the front windshield by the Lu people, and then manually adjusts the wiper start knob, which not only distracts the driver, but also causes the glass to fall. In addition to the varying degrees of clarity, both are closely related to driving safety. In order to reduce the driver's instant distraction while driving, and to ensure that the glass falling rain is scraped and kept fixed to enhance the initiative safety of the vehicle, a smart wiper with a sensor is installed, which is currently in need of betting. Development direction. The core of the smart wiper is the sensor, and the two types of induction are commonly used for the rain of the front windshield. One is the speed-sensing type and the other is the two-drop induction type. Since the speed sensor is only for the speed of the vehicle, it is automatically judged that the wiper's back and forth scraping frequency is indirectly determined because it indirectly determines the total amount of rain in the front windshield. The two-drop induction type automatically controls the reciprocating frequency of the wiper according to the amount of rain on the front windshield glass. The current raindrop sensor can be broadly divided into: Optical Reflective Sensor, Audio Sensor, and Conductive Sensor, which are optically reflective. Raindrop sensors are less susceptible to interference, including optical reflective raindrop sensors for BMW, Benz, Renault, and Mazda. The sensing principle of the traditional optical reflective sensor necessarily includes components such as a light source, a light sensing component, a circuit, a logic judging unit, a light pipe, etc., that is, when the raindrop sensor detects a raindrop to a certain amount, it can be 5 M326633 activates the wiper, and the frequency of its actuation depends on the attenuation of the total reflection of the light in the light guide when the front windshield is used as the light guide. The more the current rainshield is, the more the light guide is. The intensity of the reflected light will be greatly reduced. When the degree of light attenuation is more severe, the frequency of the wiper actuation must be greater. &, as in the "Inductive Windshield Automatic Wiper System Detector" patent of National Patent Publication No. 450362 (2001), the price detector includes a transparent body, a sensor, a first light source and a second light source. The transparent body has a specific angle so as to illuminate the generated refracting line or scattering line on the sensor, and reduce the illuminance of the sensor. The sensor activates the wiper device due to the reduced illumination, and the windshield is turned on. The foreign matter on the upper part is removed to maintain the visibility of the windshield. This patent is currently the main stream structure, but the transparent body of the light pipe must have a certain angle, so that it will face very complicated troubles and problems in peacetime. In addition, the patent of the "Optical Automobile Wiper Automatic Control System °" patent of National Patent No. 466192 (2001) discloses that a camera is provided at an appropriate position on the windshield of the vehicle for obtaining the front of the vehicle. Image, by comparing the images to determine the degree of rain i or the thickness of the glass, and automatically start the wiper or spray the clean water in time to provide a good driving vision of the car wiper control system. The problem with this patent is that the image of the front of the car's windshield is constantly changing, so that it is more likely to be compared. In addition, such as the national patent publication No. 595717 (2〇〇4 years glass automatic_system detector) patent case It is the same as the above announcement ^\, and its Nao County is from the sensor of the bow field, and there is a binding, the tube is between the transparent body and the filter: the straight ΐϊ ί irradiation To prevent the sensor; to receive the ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ ̄ M326633 or raindrop sensors have become mainstream, but the various optical sensors described above are not perfect, or because they are easily interfered by external light sources, they have been abandoned for commercial use. The current domestic and foreign related products are designed. The architecture must prepare nine mirror-based modules, which are not easy to reduce the manufacturing cost. In view of the fact that the existing sensors have only a large number of parts, it is obvious that there is a lot of room for improvement in the design of the optical field, and there is a need for improvement. In view of this, the inventor of this case has been engaged in the experience of optical sensors for many years, and can improve the eve of the above-mentioned optical rainfall or rain sensor. ^3 1 The main purpose of this project is to provide a wide-area raindrop sensing device, the principle of total light reflection, so that the number of mirrors of the light pipe is reduced, and the light pipe is manufactured by one method, and the number of parts can be reduced. At the very least, the cost of the mold is relatively reduced. ^^ The number of light sources used in this case can be reduced to a minimum, so that the circuit and the parts are reduced. Especially, the mechanical signal and the drop-out are also used. The transmission is reliable and stable. The second purpose of this case is to provide a wide-area raindrop sensing optical detector mirror made of inorganic or organic transparent material. The other purpose of this case is to provide a Wide-area raindrop sensing device / transparent material county opaque machine, which is no & or has a base & permeable = for example. For example, the transparent material is preferably glass. It is to provide a wide-area raindrop sensing device. The light emitted by the source includes visible or invisible light. Among them, 誃ς = light diode or laser diode, the emitted light is infrared. ', " For the purpose of Mao = before, the purpose of this case is a wide area _ sensory position = in the vehicle wiper system, including: - illuminating device, placed on the 2 glass - side 'can be - specific angle (four) light source view 7
