Difference between flat wiper and traditional wiper

Difference between flat wiper and traditional wiper

Wipers are very important for car drivers, because whether the windshield is clean directly affects the driver's vision and thus affects driving safety. Do you know the difference between flat wiper and traditional wiper?

Traditional wiper blade


Traditional wipers is also called metal frame wiper blades. The principle of the traditional wiper is to press the wiper blade on the glass through several support points, so that the pressure of each frame on the wiper blade is averaged.


The traditional wiper is supported by each frame, so that the force on the wiper is more uniform. And because the traditional wiper is supported by the frame, it has a higher degree of control over the strength, it is easier to wipe off the rain, and it is easier to clean up large dirty things.


The traditional wiper is stressed through multiple support points, and the pressure is relatively high. Compared with boneless wipers, the cost of using traditional wipers is lower.


Flat wiper


The flat wiper pursues the perfect combination of aerodynamics, solves the vibration caused by the wind, and minimizes the abrasion of the blade on the glass. Moreover, the design style of the flat wiper is simple and the structure is light.


The flat wiper does not need to replace the wiper arm, but only needs to replace the traditional frame wiper blade of the original car, which is faster and more convenient. Under normal circumstances, the life of the boneless wiper is two to three times that of the traditional wiper, and it can be replaced once every two to three years.


In the process of work, because the pressure of each supporting point of the traditional wiper is average, the degree of wear is also average, and the friction noise between the wiper blade and the glass is not easy to appear, and the wiping is clean.


Flat wiper is composed of wiper rubber strip, steel sheet, wiper cover and plastic parts. It is easy to use and has low noise. It is closely attached to the glass and the wiping effect is obvious.


The principle is different


The flat wiper directly acts on the steel, and the force concentrated at the same point is well dispersed, so that the frame can be removed and the rubber strip can be evenly stressed. The traditional wiper presses the wiper blade on the glass through several support points on the frame, so that the pressure of each support point on the wiper blade is averaged.


The way of force is different


Since the traditional wiper is supported by the frame, after a long time of use, it may cause inconsistent bonding between the entire wiper and the glass, inconsistent wear and tear, and noise between the glass and the wiper blade. But the flat wiper is the force of the whole rubber strip, the structure is simple, it fits more closely with the curved glass, and the life span is longer than that of the traditional wiper.


Different working conditions


The working condition of the flat wiper is much higher than that of the traditional wiper. It needs a high-pressure wiper arm and a high-power wiper motor. However, when replacing the wiper, the flat wiper does not need to replace the wiper arm, which is more simple and more convenient. 


I believe that after seeing this, car owners also have a certain understanding of traditional wipers and flat wipers, and have their own judgments in their hearts. Traditional wipers and flat wipers have their own advantages and disadvantages, and car owners can choose wipers according to their own needs. At the same time, it is recommended that car owners must pay attention to check the use of the wipers, and clean the wipers regularly to ensure travel safety.
