Wiper device having improved vibration prevention of wiper strip
A wiper device including: a yoke for supporting a wiper strip; an auxiliary lever including a coupling protrusion coupled to a coupling hole prepared in the yoke and formed of synthetic resin; and a main lever including an assembly protrusion coupled to an assembly hole prepared in the auxiliary lever and formed of the synthetic resin, wherein the auxiliary lever includes: a first vibration prevention portion protrusively formed to contact an upper surface of the yoke on a cross section taken along a width direction of the auxiliary lever in a position where the coupling hole is disposed; and a second vibration prevention portion in which an outer circumference surface of the coupling protrusion is formed in a tapered form so that the coupling protrusion coupled to the coupling hole is fit in a direction in which the coupling protrusion is coupled to the coupling hole.
1. A wiper device for vehicles, comprising:
a yoke for supporting a wiper strip;
an auxiliary lever that comprises a coupling protrusion coupled to a coupling hole prepared in the yoke and is formed of synthetic resin; and
a main lever that comprises an assembly protrusion coupled to an assembly hole prepared in the auxiliary lever and is formed of the synthetic resin,
wherein the auxiliary lever further comprises:
a first vibration prevention portion protrusively formed to contact an upper surface of the yoke on a cross section taken along a width direction of the auxiliary lever in a position where the coupling hole is disposed, wherein the first vibration prevention portion extends in a cantilever form and wherein the first vibration prevention portion is elastically curved in an upper or lower direction of the yoke; and
a second vibration prevention portion in which an outer circumference surface of the coupling protrusion is formed in a tapered form so that the coupling protrusion coupled to the coupling hole is press fit in a direction in which the coupling protrusion is coupled to the coupling hole,
wherein the auxiliary lever is formed on an upper surface of the first vibration prevention portion to reinforce stiffness of the first vibration prevention portion and comprises a reinforcing rib extending in a longitudinal direction of the auxiliary lever.
2. The wiper device of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary lever further comprises:
a third vibration prevention portion formed at a contact portion in which one side of the auxiliary lever contacts the main lever, the contact portion being formed on a cross section taken along a width direction of the main lever in a position where the assembly protrusion and the assembly hole are coupled to each other, wherein the third vibration prevention portion is a contact surface formed in the auxiliary lever that is formed in a tapered form so that interference between the auxiliary lever and the main lever occurs.
