    摘要: A windshield wiper system for an aircraft is provided and includes a motor, an output shaft, a wrap spring and crank rocker mechanism (WSCRM) to which the motor and the output shaft are coupled and a controller. By way of the WSCRM, first directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor via a two-stage gear reduction is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a first sweep angle and second directional rotation input to the WSCRM from the motor is converted such that the output shaft drives wiper blade oscillation through a second sweep angle. The controller is configured to control the motor such that the first directional rotation is continuously or non-continuously input during first or second flight conditions, respectively, and the second directional rotation is continuously input during third flight conditions.

    摘要: A windshield wiper system (WWS) is provided and includes a brushless direct current (BLDC) motor with a motor output shaft gear, a gear train and an internally cut sector gear. The gear train includes a first gear, which has a first diameter and engages with the motor output shaft gear, and a second gear, which has a second diameter that is shorter than the first diameter and rotates with the first gear. The internally cut sector gear is coupled with an output shaft and formed to define an internal geared groove that engages with the second gear.
