The patented exposure of Tesla laser wiper will be used in conjunction with photovoltaic. This patent is a magical windshield wiper that can use a laser beam to remove debris from the driver's line of sight. Tesla laser wiper patent exposure, will be used in conjunction with photovoltaic.
Tesla laser wiper patent exposure, will be used with photovoltaic 1 As early as 20 19, Tesla applied for a brand-new patent, which can clean the front and rear windshields and cameras with a vehicle-mounted laser system, and even remove the debris on the solar panel on the roof, so it is also called "laser wiper".
Recently, this brand-new technology was finally officially announced by the US Patent Office. However, it should be noted that it can't remove the moisture on the glass in rainy days, and it can't replace the traditional wiper.
Tesla described in the published document that this patent is a vehicle cleaning system, which can generate a laser beam to illuminate the beam optical components in the vehicle glass area, a debris detection circuit to detect the debris accumulated in this area, and a control circuit.
Its main purpose is to use pulsed laser to clean the debris accumulated on glass products in vehicles and photovoltaic modules, and the control circuit can also use laser beam to clean the debris accumulated on glass products.
This function may be applied to vehicles equipped with solar panels in the future to remove the debris on the solar panels and ensure direct sunlight and power generation efficiency.
It is worth noting that this cleaning system is not automatic, and the driver needs to control the operation manually, which can also ensure the safety in use to the greatest extent.
Cleaning the fallen leaves with a laser sounds cool, and it may really be realized by Tesla. Musk, who doesn't like "laser", finally found a very suitable working scene for it.
Tesla laser wiper patent exposure, will be used with photovoltaic. According to foreign media reports, the US Patent Office announced the details of Tesla's new patent. This patent is a magical windshield wiper, which can use a laser beam to remove debris from the driver's sight.
In the past, Tesla has put forward many fantastic ideas about wipers, the most interesting of which is its patent of "pulse laser cleaning debris accumulated on glass products in vehicles and photovoltaic modules".
Tesla described the patent in the published document as follows: the patent is a vehicle cleaning system, which includes a beam optical assembly capable of emitting a laser beam to irradiate a vehicle glass area, a debris detection circuit for detecting debris accumulated in the area, and a control circuit. Wherein the control circuit can calibrate a set of parameters by a laser beam, and the laser beam is emitted by the beam optics based on the detection of accumulated chips in the glass region.
In addition, the control circuit can also control the exposure level of the laser beam on the debris accumulation, and the debris accumulation is calibrated based on the parameters of the laser beam, wherein the exposure level is controlled based on pulsing the laser beam at a calibration rate, and the calibration rate limits the penetration of the laser beam within the glass thickness. In addition, the control circuit can also use the laser beam to remove the debris accumulated on the glass product area.

Tesla's flow chart describing the patent process is relatively simple, showing the purpose of cleaning solar (00059 1) panel fragments. The use of the laser cleaning assembly of this patent is divided into five steps:
Detecting the accumulated debris on the glassware area installed on the vehicle;
Calibrating a set of parameters related to the laser beam emitted from the beam optics assembly based on the detection of debris accumulated on the glass product area;
Based on the calibration of a set of parameters related to the laser beam, controlling the exposure level of the laser beam to the detection fragments accumulated on the glass product;
Irradiating a region on the glass product related to the detected fragments with a laser beam;
The detected debris accumulated on this area is removed by the laser beam.
This system doesn't seem to be fully automatic. In this system, the driver can control the laser through the touch screen, joystick or other media to communicate with different operating parts of the cleaning equipment.
Although the patent looks strange, the idea of cleaning the windshield with a laser is very in line with Tesla's style. In the future, if the new laser patent is applied to Tesla vehicles, the minimum maintenance cost of the owner can be reduced.
Tesla laser wiper patent exposure, will be used with photovoltaic. Tesla has always been interested in some unique designs and revolutionary car ideas. Over the years, Tesla has studied several windshield wiper designs and ideas, from the single wiper system designed by roadster for the next generation sports car (using electromagnetic linear actuator to remove moisture from the windshield) to the huge wiper on the Cyberruck pickup truck, and finally the design of this Cyberruck without wiper ~
One of the most interesting is a brand-new patent applied by Tesla on 20 19, called "laser wiper".
This wiper can use a laser system to clean the front and rear windshield and camera, and even remove debris from the solar panel on the roof. In short, it is to clean the sundries outside the car with a laser instead of a wiper!
According to reports, the reason why there is no wiper design on Cybertruck pickup truck is because this car will use "laser wiper", and this patent was approved at the end of last year, and the US Patent Office recently announced this patent ~
According to the description in the document submitted by Tesla to the U.S. Patent Office, "this patent is a vehicle cleaning system, which can generate a laser beam to irradiate the beam optical component of the vehicle glass area, a debris detection circuit and a control circuit for detecting the accumulated debris in this area" ~
The working principle of the system includes a dust and debris detection system and a transmitter. It can attack particles with pulsed laser beams, but the intensity is not enough to destroy the glass surface.
However, it should be noted that it can't remove the moisture from the glass in rainy days. From this point of view, it will not be able to replace the traditional wiper!
This function may be first used for solar panels in the future. It will be used to remove the debris of solar panels and ensure direct sunlight and power generation efficiency.
It is not known which car Tesla's laser wiper was first used in, but the illustration in the patent is Model S body. Maybe this laser wiper should be used on Model S first ~
