The steam supply pipe 11 is supplied with high-temperature and high-pressure steam. In this embodiment, the upper end of the steam supply pipe 11 is connected to the steam supply unit 12 to supply steam in the steam supply pipe 11. , The position connected to the steam supply unit 12 may be set between the lower end or the upper end and the lower end of the steam supply pipe 11. A solenoid valve 12a is installed in the steam supply line of the steam supply unit 12 to control the steam supply in each washing step.

The steam supply unit 12 may be composed of an electric steam generator that uses a coil that generates heat when current flows. In addition, other types of steam generators may be employed if high pressure steam can be generated.

A plurality of steam nozzles 13 are arranged in the steam supply pipe 11 along the longitudinal direction of the steam supply pipe 11. The steam nozzle 13 is for strongly injecting the steam in the steam supply pipe 11 to the outside, and the injection angle, the number of arrangements, and the interval of the steam nozzle 13 are set to wash all vehicles of various sizes interchangeably. do.

In addition, the rotating body 20 is installed on the outside of the steam supply pipe 11 to be rotated freely around the steam supply pipe 11. The rotating body 20 is formed in a disc shape and is installed by inserting a central hole in the outer circumference of the steam supply pipe 11 and having a weak rotational force through a bearing 21 between the steam supply pipe 11 and the rotating body 20. Also, it is possible to smoothly rotate the rotating body 20.

A plurality of rotating bodies 20 are installed along the longitudinal direction of the steam supply pipe 11. In this embodiment, the three rotating bodies 20 are illustrated as being installed at regular intervals, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

A plurality of blade pieces arranged on the rotating body 20 in the circumferential direction around the steam supply pipe 11 to generate rotational force of the rotating body 20 by high-pressure steam injected from the steam nozzle 13 22 is installed.

In this embodiment, the wing piece 22 is formed in a plate shape, so that one end is positioned outside the rotating body 20 and the other rear end of the wing piece 22 is placed on the steam supply pipe 11 side, thereby substantially rotating the body 20 ). It is arranged in the radial direction.

At this time, the wing piece 22 is provided in the spray region of the steam sprayed from the steam nozzle 13 in the corresponding position, installed slightly inclined with respect to the spray direction of the steam (see Fig. 4) from the steam nozzle 13 It is possible to increase the rotational force of the rotating body 20 as much as possible by allowing the injection pressure of the strongly injected steam to operate as efficiently as possible.

In this embodiment, the wing piece 22 is illustrated as being installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating body 20, respectively, but is not limited thereto, and may be installed on either of the upper and lower surfaces.

A washing brush 25 is installed on the circumferential surface of the rotating body 20 to rotate together with the rotating body 20. The washing brush 25 is composed of a multi-stranded long strip shape and is composed of soft and flexible fabrics so as not to damage the vehicle body surface when washing the vehicle, and in particular, by using a fabric woven from microfibers, the washing performance can be further improved.

On the other hand, the present invention is provided with compressed air injection means capable of removing foreign substances and removing moisture by injecting compressed air in addition to the above-described washing function by steam.

Compressed air injection means, as shown in Figures 1 and 5 is provided with an air supply pipe (31) disposed in the longitudinal direction in the steam supply pipe (11), the top of the air supply pipe (31) in the air supply pipe (31) The compressed air supply unit 33 for supplying compressed air is connected. The compressed air supply unit 33 may be configured as an air compressor capable of compressing and supplying air. A solenoid valve (33a) is installed in the air supply line of the compressed air supply unit (33) to control the supply of compressed air at each washing step.

The air supply pipe 31 is provided with air nozzles 32 which are respectively disposed at positions corresponding to the plurality of wing pieces 22 to inject compressed air, and the air nozzles 32 penetrate the steam supply pipe 11 to externally By being exposed to, the compressed air is injected toward the wing piece 22.

The operation of the automatic steam car washing device having such a configuration is as follows. 3, when the solenoid valve 12a of the steam supply unit 12 is opened to supply high-temperature and high-pressure steam into the steam supply pipe 11, the steam nozzle disposed in the longitudinal direction of the steam supply pipe 11 Since steam is strongly sprayed through (13), it is possible to easily remove pollutants that have accumulated on the surface of the vehicle, as well as pollutants that have been steamed for a long time. The amount of occurrence can be greatly reduced.

On the other hand, while washing the vehicle is made by the strongly injected steam, as shown in FIG. 4, the strongly injected steam collides against the wing pieces 22 provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the rotating body 20. Since the rotational force is applied to the entire body 20, the rotating body 20 rotates around the steam supply pipe 11, and the washing brush 25 made of soft and flexible fabric is centrifugal due to rotation of the rotating body 20 As it rotates in an unfolded state, the vehicle is cleaned without damaging the surface of the vehicle.

At this time, the rotational body 20 can be smoothly rotated with a small rotational force by the bearing 21 interposed between the rotating body 20 and the steam supply pipe 11, and the wing piece 22 is shown in FIG. As described above, it is installed inclined with respect to the spray direction of the steam, thereby increasing the cleaning efficiency by further increasing the rotational force of the rotating body 20 when it collides with the strongly sprayed steam.

In addition, as the top of the wing piece 22 is covered with a cover 23, and one side surface of the wing piece 22 colliding with steam is formed as a curved surface, the spray force of steam is applied to the wing piece 22 to make it larger. It is possible to further increase the rotational force of the rotating body 20, thereby further increasing the cleaning efficiency.

After performing the washing function by the steam as described above, the steam washing function can be stopped by blocking the solenoid valve 12a of the steam supply unit 12, and then the solenoid valve of the compressed air supply unit 33 as shown in FIG. When (33a) is opened, compressed air is supplied to the air supply pipe (31), and compressed air is strongly injected toward the vehicle through the air nozzle (32) provided in the air supply pipe (31). After the function, the drying function can be performed, and the dewatering function of the washing brush 25 can also be used.

The injection of compressed air through the air nozzle 32 may be operated even during steam washing. Since the strong injection of steam and the strong injection of compressed air push the blade piece 22 together more strongly to further increase the rotational force of the rotating body 20, the cleaning efficiency of the vehicle by the washing brush 25 can be further increased. .

As described above, according to the present invention, the rotational power of the rotating body 20 that rotates when performing the steam cleaning function is used as a rotational power without using a complex configuration of a driving motor and a power transmission mechanism, and a strong injection force of steam or steam and compressed air. , The configuration of the washing device 10 is very simplified, which is easy to manufacture and can reduce manufacturing cost, and also significantly reduces the water used for washing, thereby saving the operating cost and facility space of the wastewater treatment facility.
