When the skirt brush mechanism 100 is in the second position, the magnetic sensor 510 can sense the magnetic ring 520 and send a feedback signal to the early warning assembly 400, and the signal processor of the early warning assembly 400 controls the display lamp to light up after receiving the feedback signal. When the skirt brush is in the first position, the magnetic sensor 510 cannot sense the magnetic ring 520, a feedback signal cannot be sent to the early warning assembly 400, and the display lamp is in an off state. If the display lamp is not lighted during the use process, the skirt brush mechanism 100 is in the first position at the moment, and technicians can timely judge whether the skirt brush mechanism 100 and/or the driving mechanism 200 are abnormal or not, so that collision accidents in the unmanned control process are avoided, and the structures of vehicles and automatic vehicle washing systems are damaged.

It should be noted that the third preset position is a position corresponding to the rear skirt brush mechanism 102, and when the head of the vehicle moves to the position corresponding to the rear skirt brush mechanism 102, the rear skirt brush moves to the first position and operates to clean the vehicle, so as to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the rear skirt brush mechanism 102. In this fourth preset position, the vehicle cannot be washed whether the rear skirt brush mechanism 102 is in the first position or the second position.
When the head of the vehicle moves to a fifth preset position, the front skirt brush mechanism 101 is driven to move to the first position and operate, and when the tail of the vehicle moves to the first preset position, the front skirt brush mechanism 101 is driven to move to the second position and stop operating, wherein the third preset position, the fourth preset position and the fifth preset position are located between the first preset position and the second preset position. It should be noted that the fifth preset position is a position corresponding to the front skirt brush mechanism 101, and when the head of the vehicle moves to the position corresponding to the front skirt brush mechanism 101, the front skirt brush moves to the first position and operates to clean the vehicle, so as to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the front skirt brush mechanism 101.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, specifically, when the car washing method in this embodiment is implemented by the automatic car washing system in the above embodiment, it is first monitored whether a car stops in the car washing space, where the car washing position in this embodiment is a position corresponding to the long chain plate, when the car head reaches the first photosensitive sensor 601, the car stops running, the infrared emission end of the first photosensitive sensor 601 cannot receive the infrared signal, the first photosensitive sensor 601 is triggered to send a determination signal to the local PLC 800, and at this time, the local PLC 800 determines whether a car stops on the long chain plate. Local PLC 800 judges that long chain plate carwash parking stall does not stop when having the vehicle, long chain plate and short chain plate begin to operate with control, the skirt brush mechanism 102 removes to the primary importance and operates rear skirt brush mechanism 102 after the drive, when the primary importance, rear skirt brush mechanism 102 is at least partly located the removal route of vehicle, the distance is greater than the required maximum distance of inductive signal between signal generation end and the signal reception end this moment, local PLC 800 can not receive inductive signal, can not send feedback signal to early warning subassembly 400, early warning subassembly 400 is in the dormant state, the display lamp extinguishes.
After back skirt brush mechanism 102 washs the completion, the link joint drive vehicle is from the carwash displacement motion, reach first photosensitive sensor 601 when the rear of a vehicle of vehicle, infrared signal is received again to first photosensitive sensor 601's infrared emission end, first photosensitive sensor 601 triggers to stop, send feedback signal to local PLC 800, local PLC 800 sends signal drive back skirt brush mechanism 102 and removes to the second position and stop operation back skirt brush mechanism 102, when the second position, back skirt brush mechanism 102 breaks away from the removal route of vehicle, the distance is less than the required maximum distance of inductive signal between signal generation end and the signal reception end this moment, local PLC 800 can receive inductive signal, and send feedback signal to early warning subassembly 400, early warning subassembly 400 is in the activated state, the display lamp lights. If the local PLC 800 does not receive the sensing signal, the display lamp of the early warning assembly 400 is not lighted all the time, which proves that the rear skirt brush is abnormal.
The local PLC 800 stores a preset length value, when the vehicle head reaches the second photosensor 602, the second photosensor 602 records the origin coordinate of the vehicle head, and at this time, the first photosensor 601 records the origin coordinate of the vehicle tail. When the distance between the real-time position coordinate of the locomotive and the origin coordinate of the locomotive reaches the preset length value stored in the local PLC 800, the local PLC 800 sends a signal to control the front skirt brush mechanism 101 to move to the first position and operate the front skirt brush mechanism 101, when the first position is reached, at least part of the front skirt brush mechanism 101 is located on the moving path of the vehicle, the distance between the signal generating end and the signal receiving end is greater than the maximum distance required by the sensing signal, the local PLC 800 cannot receive the sensing signal, a feedback signal cannot be sent to the early warning assembly 400, the early warning assembly 400 is in a dormant state, and the display lamp is turned off. When the distance between the real-time position coordinate of the tail and the original point coordinate of the tail reaches a preset length value stored in the local PLC 800, the local PLC 800 sends a signal to control the front skirt brush mechanism 101 to move to the second position and stop running the front skirt brush mechanism 101. When the second position, front skirt brush mechanism 101 breaks away from the moving path of vehicle, and the distance is less than the required maximum distance of inductive signal between signal generation end and the signal reception end this moment, and local PLC 800 can receive inductive signal to send feedback signal to early warning subassembly 400, early warning subassembly 400 is in activated state, and the display lamp lights. If the local PLC 800 does not receive the sensing signal, the display lamp of the early warning assembly 400 is not lighted all the time, which proves that the front skirt brush mechanism 101 is abnormal.
