The present invention relates to a washer liquid heating apparatus for a vehicle, and aims to provide a vehicle washer liquid spray unit which can settle the issues of a lowered discharge pressure of a washer pump due to an increase in viscosity of the washer liquid in the reservoir, a defect in supply of the washer liquid, a defective position of settling, a defective wiping of the glass, damage to the washer pump, damage to an operating switch, or the like in the conventional composition where the reservoir and the washer liquid heating apparatus are separated. To achieve this purpose, disclosed is a washer liquid heating apparatus integrated into the reservoir, which comprises: a plate-shaped heater installed on a hole of the reservoir to heat the washer liquid in the reservoir; a protective cover assembled on the reservoir to surround the heater; and, a fastening means for fixating the heater and the protective cover on the reservoir. The plate-shaped heater is fixated to be exposed to the inside of the reservoir through the hole for the heating surface, where heat is generated, to be able to heat the washer liquid in the reservoir. 본 발명은 자동차 워셔액 가열장치에 관한 것으로서, 리저버와 워셔액 가열장치가 분리되어 있는 종래의 구성에서 리저버 내 워셔액의 점도 증가로 인한 워셔펌프의 토출압 저하, 워셔액 공급 불량 및 착수 위치 불량, 글래스 닦임 불량, 워셔펌프 손상 및 작동스위치 손상 등의 문제점을 개선할 수 있는 자동차 워셔액 분사장치를 제공하는데 주된 목적이 있는 것이다. 상기한 목적을 달성하기 위해, 리저버 내 워셔액을 가열하도록 리저버의 홀에 설치되는 판상의 히터; 상기 히터를 둘러싸도록 리저버에 조립되는 보호커버; 및 상기 히터와 보호커버를 리저버에 고정하기 위한 체결수단을 포함하고, 상기 판상의 히터는 발열이 이루어지는 가열면이 리저버 내 워셔액을 가열할 수 있도록 상기 홀을 통해 리저버 내측으로 노출되도록 고정되는 것을 특징으로 하는 리저버 일체형의 워셔액 가열장치가 개시된다.
