1. wiper overview
wipers generally include vacuum wipers, electric wipers and wipers with electronic control units. The disadvantage of the vacuum wiper is that the movement speed of the wiper blade is unstable. When the vacuum of the engine is reduced (for example, when the car is climbing a hill), the wiper blade will stop, blurring the driver's vision. The vacuum wiper was eliminated in 1972 and replaced by an electric wiper.

2, advantages and disadvantages
wiper assembly is generally a permanent magnet DC motor, which is divided into mechanical motor and electronic motor according to the different control methods of the motor. The electronic motor is equipped with an electronic control module, which can realize the back and forth rotation of the motor, such as reverse rotation after a certain degree of operation, while the mechanical motor has been rotating after being powered on, and can only adjust the speed.
