Positive lock for parked wiper

A windshield wiper system for an aircraft comprising:

• a wiper arm;
• a wiper shaft comprising:
• a first end connected to a base of the wiper arm;
• and
• a second end opposite the first end;
• an electric motor coupled to the wiper shaft to rotationally drive the wiper shaft via, the electric motor coupled to the wiper shaft via gearing disposed between the first end and the second end of the wiper shaft;
• a brake system comprising:
• an electromagnet comprising an energized mode and a de-energized mode;
• and
• an anti-rotation assembly comprising:
• a first element connected directly to the wiper shaft at the second end and separated from the gearing, wherein the first element comprises:
• a plate extending radially outward from the wiper shaft relative to a center axis of the wiper shaft;
• and
• at least one hole extending axially into the plate relative to the center axis of the wiper shaft;
• and
• a second element that is rotationally stationary relative to the wiper shaft and the first element, wherein the second element is configured to interlock with the first element to prevent rotation of the first element and the wiper shaft when both the electromagnet is in the de-energized mode and the wiper arm is in a park position, wherein the second element comprises:
• a plunger rod that is ferromagnetic and aligned with the hole when the wiper arm is in the park position, the plunger rod comprising:
• a first rod end that is conical and sized for insertion into the hole in the plate;
• a second rod end opposite the first rod end, wherein the second rod end slides within a slot of a housing of the electromagnet;
• and
• a flange positioned axially between the first rod end and the second rod end relative to a center axis of the plunger rod, and extending radially outward from first rod end and the second rod end relative to the center axis of the plunger rod.
