At this, the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of brush for washing vehicle, serviceable tool and can carry out the exchange of brush element does not at short notice promptly deal with simultaneously consuming with dirty.

[solving the means of problem]

In order to reach above-mentioned purpose; The brush for washing vehicle of the present invention's record is on the direction in axle center; The outer embedding of a plurality of brush units and being disposed on the axis body, but each brush unit comprise along the direction in axle center with respect to axis body slidably and with the cylindrical member of axis body one rotation and with respect to this cylindrical member through engage disengaging and operating and can be from the outside brush element of installing/dismounting.

According to the present invention, when the carwash operation, axis body is rotated around the axle center, when the rotational force of axis body was passed to the cylindrical member of each brush unit, the rotation of cylindrical member was passed to brush element, and each brush unit and axis body become one shape and rotate around the axle center.Then, move, make brush element contact (butt) clean processing in the surface of being cleaned vehicle through making this motor washer brush.Through so clean handling,, under the state that stops the operation of (locking) carwash, carry out the exchange of brush element when brush element consumption or when dirty.That is,, consume or dirty brush element, fully separate toward the outer side and pull down from cylindrical member through breaking away from operation.Then, make ready new brush element be installed on cylindrical member through the engaging operation from the outside.

Again; The brush for washing vehicle that the present invention put down in writing is in above-mentioned described structure; In the outer peripheral face side of cylindrical member, on a plurality of positions of circumferencial direction, form the engagement section, brush element comprises outer the be embedded in annulus of cylindrical member and the brush monomer that inner end portion is supported by this annulus; Annulus its inner peripheral surface side forms the portion that is stuck that can engage or break away from above-mentioned engagement section from the outside, and at least one position of circumferencial direction forms and can link separation simultaneously.

Therefore,, be stuck under the state that the crowd is sticked in this engaging group, making brush element be embedded in cylindrical member outward and install according to the present invention.Then, when the carwash operation, the rotation of cylindrical member is passed to annulus via being sticked in being stuck the crowd of engagement section, and each brush unit and axis body become one shape and rotate around the axle center.At this moment; Be sticked in the engagement section crowd through being stuck the crowd of portion; Brush element in can preventing to rotate is with respect to the offset of cylindrical member at circumferencial direction, and the brush element in can preventing again to rotate is with respect to the offset of cylindrical member at length direction (along axis direction).Thus, the brush haplometrotic colony is expanded through centnifugal force, therefore, moves through making brush for washing vehicle, and the brush haplometrotic colony contact (butt) of expansion and rotation is in the surface of being cleaned vehicle and clean processing.

Through so clean handling,, carry out the exchange of brush element when the brush monomer consumption or when dirty.That is, in a position separating of annulus, make the portion of being stuck break away from (extracting) from the engagement section through breaking away from operation, thus, brush monomer consumption or dirty brush element separate fully and pull down from cylindrical member.Then, when making new brush element be embedded in cylindrical member outward, make the portion of being stuck be sticked in the engagement section, then link in a position of annulus, ready new brush element is installed on cylindrical member from the outside through the engaging operation.

Then; Described brush for washing vehicle of the present invention, in above-mentioned structure, the engagement section forms the groove shape that opens at periphery; Annulus comprises other a plurality of dividing bodies and engages tool; Interior board and the pair of side plates portion that from this in the two ends of the circumferencial direction of board towards outside be connected with of each dividing body through can being connected to cylindrical member forms rail-like, and the portion of being stuck that board can engage or break away from above-mentioned engagement section in above-mentioned forms overshooting shape, between the side plate of adjacency; Under the state of the inner end portion of clamping brush monomer, fix, link above-mentioned dividing body and constitute annulus at circumferencial direction thus by above-mentioned engaging tool.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the rotation of cylindrical member is passed to each dividing body via the crowd of the portion that is stuck who is sticked in the engagement section, i.e. annulus, and each brush unit and axis body become one shape and rotate around the axle center.Through cleaning processing,, carry out the exchange of brush element when the brush monomer consumption or when dirty.That is, the disengaging operation through the engaging tool and in a position of annulus, promptly separating between the dividing body of adjacency makes the portion of being stuck break away from (extracting) from the engagement section, and thus, brush monomer consumption or dirty brush element fully separate and pull down from cylindrical member.Then; When new brush element is embedded in cylindrical member outward; Make the portion of being stuck be sticked in the engagement section, then link dividing body through the engaging operation of engaging tool in circumferencial direction and form annulus, ready thus new brush element is installed on cylindrical member from the outside.

And; Carwash of the present invention is used brush; In above-mentioned structure, form through hole at a pair of side plate, the engaging tool comprises the first engaging tool and the second engaging tool; The first engaging tool comprises the pin portion that the butt board inserts above-mentioned through hole with giving prominence to from the one side of this butt board; The second engaging tool comprises that the butt board of the fore-end that can be sticked in above-mentioned pin portion breaks away from operating portion with outstanding the engaging of one side from this butt board, when making the pin portion of the first engaging tool run through the hole portion of two through holes and the inner end portion that is formed at the brush monomer of side plate of adjacency, make second engage tool the butt board be sticked in the fore-end of pin portion; Make dividing body under the state of the outer peripheral face elastic deformation of cylindrical member thus, carrying out the binding between the side plate of adjacency.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the installation that brush element is embedded in cylindrical member outward be at the interior board that makes dividing body under the state of the outer peripheral face elastic deformation of cylindrical member, form and lock shape.In order to carry out the exchange of brush element, the side (outside) that the butt plate of the second engaging tool leaves from interior plate portion on side plate via engaging disengaging operating portion is slided, with respect to the leading section disengaging of pin portion.Thus, make towards the annulus of elastic deformation to lock application force open, through its elastic reactance (the open power of elasticity), extract at the through hole of the side plate of the adjacency of the fore-end side of pin portion, in this position separating of annulus.And, enlarging the diameter of annulus through elastic reactance, near the portion that is stuck of disengaged position automatically breaks away from (extracting) from the engagement section.Therefore, enlarge (more enlarged) through this elastic force of annulus opposing, brush monomer consumption or dirty brush element fully separate and pull down from cylindrical member.

Then; When making ready new brush element be embedded in cylindrical member outward; Make the portion of being stuck be sticked in the engagement section; Then make the annulus elastic deformation become to lock under the state of shape, the pin portion of the first engaging tool that inserts from the through hole of the side plate of the dividing body on one side hole portion through fabric brush monomer inserts the through hole on the side plate of dividing body of another side.Then; When making the butt board of the second engaging tool be connected to the side plate of dividing body of another side; Via engaging break away from operating portion on side plate inwardly board slide, through be sticked in the fore-end of pin portion from the outside, new brush element be installed on the cylindrical member and form brush unit.

Again, when the brush element of consumption was pulled down the brush monomer that has consumed from the pin portion that the second engaging tool is broken away from, through new brush monomer is installed on pin portion, the severe specific brush monomer of consumption such as whole brush monomers or breakage exchanged.At this moment, under the state (can wash state) that exchanging operation is pulled down in that brush element is separated from cylindrical member, or carry out under the state (enlarged-diameter state) of the part of the brush monomer that consumes separation.

Carwash operation such as following mode are carried out.That is, the carwash data (carwash program, attached menu) of vehicle C are cleaned in input, implement carwash through starting switch according to the carwash data then.Again, detect through aural detector 5 and to be cleaned moving into of vehicle C, calculate then from the time that detects.

When being cleaned vehicle C and got into conveyer 2, make by clean vehicle C by this conveyer 2 and to move continuously with set speed, in this is mobile continuously, at first clean processing in clean portion 3.That is,, when washing, clean vehicle C from 13 pairs of quilts of lotion nozzle and spray lotion from surveying spreader nozzle 11 and oblique spreader nozzle 12 inject high pressure water for being cleaned vehicle C.Then; Shown in the solid line of Fig. 3, be positioned at rocking arm brush 14 the swings of the pair of right and left in the outside, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3 by arm 14A; Move to the inboard of left and right directions (vehicle-width direction), clean thus and cleaned the bottom, two sides of vehicle C and the side of front and back wheel T.Then, shown in the solid line of Fig. 2, use top brush 16, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 2, do the up-down of vertical configuration along with the variation of overall height, clean thus by above the clean vehicle C first clean the cleaning of lowering position with top brush 15 and second.

Then, final flooding nozzle 17 is for being cleaned vehicle C sparging water purification, shown in the solid line of Fig. 3; Be positioned at first the cleaning with side brush 18 and move (starting) outside about extremely of pair of right and left of middle body (closing the position) through the guiding of track 18A; Clean the front of vehicle C simultaneously, move towards the rear through making track 18A this moment, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3; Moved by moving of conveyer 2 along with cleaning vehicle C, and clean the front.Then, as shown in Figure 3, be positioned at second the cleaning of pair of right and left in the outside with 19 the swings of side brush by arm 19A, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3, through moving to the inboard of left and right directions (car Width), and clean the two sides of vehicle C.

Then, when cleaning with clean end the in 19 pairs of two sides of side brush, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3 near second; Make mobile (starting) to about the pair of right and left first in the outside clean with side brush 18, the inboard (middle body side) about the guiding through track 18A moves to is cleaned the back of vehicle C simultaneously; Simultaneously move to rear with track 18A this moment; Shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3, along with conveyer 2 carrying is cleaned vehicle C and mobile the time, can be cleaned the back.And, when plating the 20 sprinkling fluorine plating agent of agent nozzle by drying, liquid cured from cured nozzle 21 injections (spraying) for the surface of cleaning vehicle C by the second clean quilt with side brush 19 clean two sides.

So; Make the quilt of cleaning processing in clean portion 3 and clean vehicle C when drying section 4 is mobile continuously; Drying above the air that at first sprays from the first top nozzle 25 makes, the air of first side nozzle, 26 ejections makes two sides dry, and the air of second side nozzle, 28 ejections makes two sides dry.Then, shown in the solid line of Fig. 3, the drying that is positioned at the pair of right and left in the outside brushes 30 with side; Swing through arm 71; Shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 3, through moving to the inboard of left and right directions (car Width), and wiping is attached to the water droplet of the two sides (surface) of being cleaned vehicle C.And, shown in the solid line of Fig. 2, brush 29 with the top in the drying of hoisting position, shown in the imaginary line of Fig. 2, do vertical configuration along with the variation of overall height, wiping is attached to the water droplet on top (surface) of being cleaned vehicle C thus.

At this, carry out with the wiping action of 30 pairs of water droplets of side brush such as following mode by the drying of pair of right and left.That is, make axis body 31 31A rotation around the axle center by rotating driving device 74, the rotational force of axis body 31 is passed to the cylindrical member 41 of each brush unit 40 via 35 groups of the bodies of bolt.Then, the rotation of cylindrical member 41 is passed to each dividing body 53 via 56 groups in the portion that is stuck that is sticked in engagement section 46, and promptly annulus 52, and each brush unit 40 is integrally formed shape and the 31A rotation around the axle center with axis body 31.At this moment; Be sticked in 46 groups of engagement sections through being stuck 56 groups in portion; Prevent the offset of circumferencial direction with respect to the cylindrical member 41 of the brush element 51 of rotation; Again through being stuck portion 56 between base plate 45 up and down, prevent offset with respect to the length direction (direction of 31A) of the cylindrical member 41 of the brush element 51 in the rotation along the axle center.

Thus; 68 groups of fabric brush monomers are upheld through centnifugal force; Therefore make the dry inboard that moves to left and right directions (car Width) with side brush 30 by the swing of arm 71; Make 68 groups of contacts of fabric brush monomer (butt) of upholding and rotating in the both sides of being cleaned vehicle thus, and wiping is attached to the water droplet on two sides (surface).When the wiping water droplet, get into the water F draining towards ground in the cylindrical member 41 through 49 groups in water hole.And the dry wipings of using 29 pairs on top brush to be attached to the water droplet on top (surface) of being cleaned vehicle C also are likewise to carry out.Through above mode, the quilt after the desirable carwash end of program is cleaned vehicle C by the external moving of conveyer 2 towards motor washer body 1.

The wiping action of the water droplet that is carried out with side brush 30 through above-mentioned drying, fabric brush monomer 68 consume or when dirty, under the state that stops the operation of (locking) carwash, carry out the exchange of brush element 51.Promptly; The butt board 65 of the second engaging tool 64 in maneuverable suitable place (arbitrary site); Slide towards break away from the side (outside) that operating portion 66 separates from interior board 54 on side plate 55 via engaging, make thus to be stuck part 65a and to break away from respect to snap portions 63a.Thus; Towards the annulus 52 of the state of elastic deformation to lock application force open, through its antagonistic force (the open power of elasticity), shown in the 8th; The snap portions of pin portion 63 (fore-end) 63a side is extracted from the through hole 57 of the side plate 55 of adjacency, can be in this position separating of annulus 52.And, through elastic reactance, can enlarge the diameter of annulus 52, make near 46 disengagings (extracting) automatically of the portion that is stuck 56 of disengaged position from the engagement section.Therefore, enlarge (enlarged more) through annulus 52 these elastic forces of opposing, fabric brush monomer 68 consumes or dirty brush element 51 fully separates from cylindrical member 41.

Then, ready new brush element 51 is through carrying out separating the opposite operation of operation of pulling down with above-mentioned, and is installed on cylindrical member 41.Promptly; As shown in Figure 8; Make when new brush element 51 is outer to be embedded in cylindrical member 41, make the portion of being stuck 56 be sticked in engagement section 46, then make annulus 52 elastic deformations become to lock under the state of shape; Through hole 57 from the side plate 55 of on one side dividing body 53 passes the pin portion 63 of the first engaging tool 61 of the hole portion 69 of fabric brush monomer 68, is applied in the through hole 57 of the side plate 55 of another dividing body 53.Then; When the butt board 65 of the second engaging tool 64 is connected to the side plate 55 of another dividing body 53; Break away from operating portion 66 board 54 slips inwardly on side plate 55 via engaging; Be stuck part 65a and be sticked in snap portions 63a from the outside through making, as shown in Figure 7, formed the brush unit 40 that new brush element 51 is installed on cylindrical member 41.

So; The exchanging operation of brush element 51 is not when serviceable tool etc. can carry out at short notice; Can promptly carry out in the petrol service station retention period, therefore, the standing time of motor washer shortens; The time that carwash is waited for shortens and can carry out suitable carwash, carries out the wiping action of water droplet under the beautiful state of will being everlasting simultaneously.

As previously mentioned; Separate fully and the brush element 51 pulled down from cylindrical member 41; Through making 68 groups of washings of its fabric brush monomer, drying; And prepare to exchange usefulness next time, when can under beautiful state, use repeatedly, owing to the very fast dirty desiccant brush element 51 of exchange termly that needs can suitably be used.

When the fabric brush monomer 68 that the brush element 51 that consumes consumes from the pin portion 63 that the second engaging tool 64 is broken away from is pulled down; Fabric brush monomer 68 through new is installed on pin portion 63, and whole fabric brush monomers 68 or breakage etc. consume 68 exchanges of fierce specific fabric brush monomer.This moment, exchanging operation separated brush element 51 under the state of pulling down (can wash state) from cylindrical member 41, or as shown in Figure 8, under the state (state of enlarged) that the part of the fabric brush monomer 68 that consumes is separated, carried out.
