Textiles Flächengebilde zur Trocknung von Automobilen in WaschanlagenTextile fabric for drying automobiles in car washes
Textiles Flächengebilde zur Trocknung von Automobilen in WaschanlagenTextile fabric for drying automobiles in car washes
Die Erfindung betrifft ein textiles Flächengebilde, das insbesondere zum Einsatz in einem Trockenmitter von Waschanlagen für Automobile geeignet ist.The invention relates to a textile fabric which is particularly suitable for use in a drying mitre in car washing systems.
Zur Reinigung und Pflege werden Kraftfahrzeuge in automatischen Waschanlagen gewaschen, konserviert und getrocknet. Im allgemeinen unterscheidet man zwei Typen von Waschanlagen.For cleaning and maintenance, motor vehicles are washed, preserved and dried in automatic car washes. In general, two types of car washes are distinguished.
Einen Typ bilden die Portalanlgen, in denen das Fahrzeug während des Waschprozesses steht und mit an einem beweglichen Portal besfestigten Waschwalzen und Bürsten gewaschen wir. Nach dem Waschprozeß wird das Automobil gewöhnlich mit Konservierungsmitteln behandelt und anschließend mit einem Gebläse getrocknet.One type is the portal system, in which the vehicle stands during the washing process and is washed with washing rollers and brushes attached to a movable portal. After the washing process, the vehicle is usually treated with preservatives and then dried with a blower.
Den anderen Waschanlagentyp stellen Waschstraßen dar, durch welche das Fahrzeug transportiert wird, wobei der Waschprozeß sich an feststehenden Portalen mit daran befestigten Waschwalzen und Bürsten abspielt. Auch hier erfolgt am Ende des Waschprozesses meist eine Konservierung mit nachfolgender Gebläsetrocknung des Fahrzeugs.The other type of car wash is a car wash through which the vehicle is transported, with the washing process taking place on fixed portals with washing rollers and brushes attached to them. Here, too, the vehicle is usually preserved at the end of the washing process, followed by drying with a blower.
Mit einer derartigen Gebläsetrocknung läßt sich aber weder in Portalanlagen noch in Waschstraßen sämtliches Restwasser entfernen, so daß nach dem Trocknungsprozeß noch Wassertropfen oder Wasserstreifen auf den Kraftfahrzeugen verbleiben, die dann beim Verdunsten Flecken bilden. Daher wir zur Entfernung dieser Restwassertropfen in Waschstraßen meist noch eine weitere Nachtrocknungsstufe eingeschaltet, wobei zur Entfernung der restlichen Wassertropfen mit Textilstreifen besetzte längs-, quer- und rundlaufende Mittersysteme oder rotierende Walzen eingesetzt werden. Die TextilstreifenHowever, this type of blower drying cannot remove all the residual water in either gantry systems or car washes, so that after the drying process, water drops or streaks remain on the vehicles, which then form stains when they evaporate. Therefore, to remove these residual water drops in car washes, a further drying stage is usually used, whereby longitudinal, transverse and circular miter systems or rotating rollers with textile strips are used to remove the remaining water drops. The textile strips
bestehen aus Vliesen, Geweben oder Filzen, welche material- konstruktions- und konfektionsseitig so ausgebildet sind, daß sie die verbleibenden Wassertropfen aufsaugen können.consist of fleece, fabric or felt, which are designed in such a way in terms of material construction and manufacture that they can absorb the remaining water droplets.
Die im Stand der Technik verwendeten Textilmaterialien weisen jedoch den Nachteil auf, daß sie nur über eine begrenzte Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit verfugen, so daß sie sich, insbesondere bei längerem Betrieb der Anlage, mit Wasser vollständig vollsaugen und kein weiteres Wasser mehr aufnehmen können, sie dieses vielmehr wieder auf die zu behandelnden Fahrzeuge abtropfen lassen, was beim Verdunsten dann wieder zu Wasserflecken führt. Darüber hinaus bildet die nasse Oberfläche dieser Textilstreifen zusammen mit dem auf die Fahrzeugoberfläche aufgetragenen Konservierungsmittel zusätzliche Schlieren, was dann einen Schleier auf der Lackoberfläche verursacht.However, the textile materials used in the prior art have the disadvantage that they only have a limited water absorption capacity, so that they become completely saturated with water, especially when the system is in operation for a long time, and are unable to absorb any more water. Instead, they let it drip back onto the vehicles to be treated, which then leads to water spots when it evaporates. In addition, the wet surface of these textile strips, together with the preservative applied to the vehicle surface, forms additional streaks, which then causes a haze on the paint surface.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Textilmaterial so auszubilden, daß es ohne die obigen Nachteile als Trockenmitter zur Entfernung von Restwassertropfen eingesetzt werden kann.The present invention was therefore based on the object of designing a textile material in such a way that it can be used as a drying agent for removing residual water droplets without the above disadvantages.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe so gelöst, daß als Textilmaterial ein aus zwei unterschiedlich zusammengesetzten und strukturierten Komponenten bestehendes Flächengebilde eingesetzt wird, bestehend aus einer Innenschicht und zwei Deckschichten.According to the invention, the object is achieved in that a fabric consisting of two differently composed and structured components is used as the textile material, consisting of an inner layer and two cover layers.
Die Innenschicht bildet den Materialkern und ist aus synthetischen Microfasern mittels Vernadelung zu einem Nadelfilz verdichtet, der eine hohe Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit aufweist, die bis zu 400% des Eigengewichts betragen kann.The inner layer forms the material core and is made of synthetic microfibers that are compressed into a needle felt using needling, which has a high water absorption capacity that can be up to 400% of its own weight.
Die Deckschichten bestehen ebenfalls aus Microfasern hoher Strapazierfähigkeit und geringer Wasser- und Schmutzaufnahmefähigkeit, dieThe top layers are also made of microfibres with high durability and low water and dirt absorption, which
mit dem Nadelfilzkern durch Vernadelung und/oder einem Schmelzprozeß verbunden, aber insgesamt zu einer velours-artigen Oberflächenkonstruktion ausgebildet sind.connected to the needle felt core by needling and/or a melting process, but overall formed into a velour-like surface construction.
Durch die Verbindung der Deckschichten an die Innenschicht mittels Vernadelung und/oder Schmelzprozeß ergibt sich der Vorteil, daß keine Bindemittel ausgewaschen werden können. Die velours-artige Ausbildung der Oberflächen bewirkt, daß trotz geringer Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit der sie aufbauenden Microfasern die Restwassertropfen schlierenfrei und lackschonend aufgenommen und über Kapillareffekte, ähnlich wie in einem Docht, an den innen gelegenen Kern des textlien Flächengebildes weitergeleitet werden können. Darüber hinaus wird ein zusätzlicher Pöliereffekt erzielt.By connecting the outer layers to the inner layer by means of needling and/or melting, the advantage is that no binding agents can be washed out. The velour-like design of the surfaces means that, despite the low water absorption capacity of the microfibres that make them up, the residual water drops can be absorbed without streaks and without damaging the paint and can be passed on to the inner core of the textile surface structure via capillary effects, similar to a wick. In addition, an additional polishing effect is achieved.
Da die Wassertropfen nur an einem Ende des textlien Flächengebildes aufgesogen werden und das Kernmaterial über eine ausgezeichnete Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit verfügt, kann sich das aufgesogene Wasser über das Kernmaterial, welches bis zu 400% seines Eigengewichts an Wasser aufnehmen kann, verteilen. Aus den Bereichen des textlien Flächenmaterials, welche nicht unmittelbar mit den Restwassertropfen auf der Oberfläche der Fahrzeugkarosserie in Berührung kommen, kann dann das im Kernmaterial verteilte aufgesogene Wasser wieder durch die beiden velours-artigen Deckschichten verdunsten, da die aus Microfasern bestehenden velours-artigen Oberflächen des textlien Flächengewebes für Wasserdampf sehr gut durchlässig sind. In Folge davon bleibt der Aufsaugeffekt des textlien Flächengebildes auch im Dauerbetrieb erhalten, wodurch ein Rücktropfen des Wassers vom textlien Flächengebilde auf das zu trocknende Fahrzeug, auch bei längerem Betrieb, unterbleibt.Since the water drops are only absorbed at one end of the textile surface and the core material has excellent water absorption capacity, the absorbed water can spread across the core material, which can absorb up to 400% of its own weight in water. From the areas of the textile surface that do not come into direct contact with the residual water drops on the surface of the vehicle body, the absorbed water distributed in the core material can then evaporate through the two velour-like cover layers, since the velour-like surfaces of the textile surface made of microfibres are very permeable to water vapour. As a result, the absorption effect of the textile surface is retained even during continuous operation, which means that water does not drip back from the textile surface onto the vehicle to be dried, even during longer periods of operation.
Unter Microfasern im Sinne der Erfindung werden Chemiefasern mit einer Feinheit von 1,0 bis 0,3 dtex verstanden. Als Polymere, die für die wenig Wasser und Schmutz aufnehmenden sowie scheuer- und abriebbeständigenMicrofibres in the sense of the invention are understood to be chemical fibres with a fineness of 1.0 to 0.3 dtex. Polymers which are used for the low water and dirt absorption and are abrasion and abrasion resistant
Microfasern für die Deckschichten kommen die im Stand der Technik üblichen, insbesondere thermoplastischen Kunststoffe sowohl einzeln als auch in Kombination in Frage, wie z.B. Polyolefine, Polyacetale, Polyester, PET (Polyethylentherephthalat), Polyurethane und Polyamide. Für den Innenkern werden wegen ihrer hervorragenden Wasseraufnahmefähigkeit vorzugsweise Viskosefasern eingesetzt, oder auch Polyvinylacetale PVA.Microfibers for the cover layers can be the usual state-of-the-art plastics, especially thermoplastics, both individually and in combination, such as polyolefins, polyacetals, polyesters, PET (polyethylene terephthalate), polyurethanes and polyamides. Viscose fibers or polyvinyl acetals (PVA) are preferably used for the inner core due to their excellent water absorption capacity.
Die erfindungsgemäßen textlien Flächengebilde zum Einsatz in Trockenmittern von Waschanlagen für Automobile lassen sich dadurch herstellen, daß Mikrofasern zu einem großflächigen Nadelfilz verarbeitet werden, der so strukturiert ist, daß das resultierende textile Gebilde für Wasser hochsaugfähig wird und bis bis zu 400% seines Eigengewichts an Wasser aufzunehmen vermag. Auf dieses großflächige textile Gebilde werden sodann beidseitig jeweils eine velours-artige Schicht aus Microfasern mittels Vernadelung oder einem Schmelzprozeß befestigt.The textile fabrics according to the invention for use in drying machines in car washes can be produced by processing microfibers into a large-area needle felt that is structured in such a way that the resulting textile structure is highly absorbent for water and can absorb up to 400% of its own weight in water. A velour-like layer of microfibers is then attached to both sides of this large-area textile structure by means of needling or a melting process.
Die Dicke des innen liegenden hochsaugfähigen Kernmaterials beträgt ca. 2 bis 10 mm, in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform 3 bis 5 mm. Die beidseitig aufgetragenen Velours-Schichten weisen bevorzugterweise eine Dicke von 1 bis 3 mm auf.The thickness of the highly absorbent core material on the inside is approximately 2 to 10 mm, in a preferred embodiment 3 to 5 mm. The velour layers applied on both sides preferably have a thickness of 1 to 3 mm.
Die so erhaltenen großflächigen textlien Gebilde werden sodann in kleinere textile Segmente, vorzugsweise in Form von Streifen oder Bändern zerschnitten. Die Länge derartiger Segmente beträgt vorzugsweise 200 cm bei einer Breite von ca. 5 bis 30 cm, vorzugsweise 20 cm.The large-area textile structures thus obtained are then cut into smaller textile segments, preferably in the form of strips or bands. The length of such segments is preferably 200 cm and the width is approximately 5 to 30 cm, preferably 20 cm.
In der beigefügten Figur ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Trockenmittersegment in Draufsicht A und in Seitensicht B dargestellt.In the attached figure, a dry miter segment according to the invention is shown in top view A and in side view B.
Derartige Segmente 1 werden in der Trockenanlage entweder an rotierenden Trocknungswalzen oder oder an längs-, quer- oder rundlaufenden MitternSuch segments 1 are attached in the drying system either to rotating drying rollers or to longitudinal, transverse or circular centers
befestigt. Zur Befestigung am Mittergestänge weisen die einzelnen Segmente 1 an ihrem vom zu trocknenden Fahrzeug entfernten Ende einen Klettverschluß 3 auf.To attach them to the central rod, the individual segments 1 have a Velcro fastener 3 at the end remote from the vehicle to be dried.
Das andere, auf der zu trocknenden Fahrzeugoberfläche entlanggleitende Ende 4 eines Segments ist zur Erhöhung des Trocknungseffektes vorzugsweise auf eine Länge von ca. 15 bis 20 cm mehrfach eingeschnitten, so daß die auf dem Fahrzeug zurückgebliebenen Resttropfen von bürstenartig wirkenden, 1 bis 3 cm, vorzugsweise 2 cm breiten Streifen 5 des aus zwei unterschiedlich zusammengesetzten und/oder strukturierten Komponenten bestehenden Segments aufgesaugt werden können. Durch dieses Einschneiden wird zum einen die aktive Fläche zum Aufsaugen des Wassers vergrößert, zum andern kann sich das Trockensegment dadurch den Oberflächenkonturen des zu trocknenden Fahrzeug optimal anpassen.The other end 4 of a segment, which slides along the surface of the vehicle to be dried, is preferably cut several times over a length of approx. 15 to 20 cm to increase the drying effect, so that the residual drops left on the vehicle can be absorbed by brush-like strips 5 of the segment, which are 1 to 3 cm, preferably 2 cm wide and consist of two differently composed and/or structured components. This cutting increases the active surface for absorbing the water, and also allows the drying segment to optimally adapt to the surface contours of the vehicle to be dried.
Die Vorteile des erfindungsgemäßen textlien Flächengebildes bei Einsatz in einem Trockenmitter im Vergleich mit den Trocknungssystemen im Stande der Technik liegen auf der Hand.The advantages of the textile fabric according to the invention when used in a drying machine compared to the drying systems in the state of the art are obvious.
Die Herstellung aus Mikrofasern garantiert eine hohe Strapazierfähigkeit und Dauerelastizität. Die einzelenen Segemente des Flächengebildes zeigen eine hervorragende Aufnahme von nach dem Waschen und Trocknen noch auf den Fahrzeugen verbliebenen Restwassertropfen oder -streifen. Durch die veloursartige Ausbildung der beiden Oberflächen wird eine lackschonende Wasseraufnahme und schlierenfreies Trocknen gewährleistet.The microfiber manufacturing guarantees high durability and permanent elasticity. The individual segments of the surface structure show excellent absorption of residual drops or streaks of water that remain on the vehicle after washing and drying. The velour-like design of the two surfaces ensures that the paint is gently absorbed and that the drying process is streak-free.
Infolge der hohen Saugfähigkeit des Kernmaterials aus Mikrofasern wird das aufgesaugte Wasser über das gesamte Flächengebilde verteilt und kann an den vom zu trocknenden Automobil entfernteren Bereichen ungehindert verdunsten. Dadurch entsteht eine Sogwirkung weg vom Fahrzeug, die auch bei Dauerbetrieb aufrechterhalten wird, wodurch sichergestellt wird, daß auchDue to the high absorbency of the core material made of microfibers, the absorbed water is distributed over the entire surface and can evaporate unhindered in the areas further away from the vehicle to be dried. This creates a suction effect away from the vehicle, which is maintained even during continuous operation, ensuring that
nach längerem Betrieb kein Wasser mehr von dem textilen Gebilde zurück auf das Fahrzeug tropfen kann.After a long period of operation, no more water can drip from the textile structure back onto the vehicle.
Mit Hilfe des Klettverschlusses lassen sich die Trockensegmente problemlos in
jedes übliche Mittersystem einsetzen, wodurch eine Umrüstung auf das neue
System leicht, ohne größeren Aufwand und dazu noch kostengünstig vollzogen werden kann.With the help of the Velcro fastener, the drying segments can be easily inserted into any standard Mitter system, which makes conversion to the new
System can be implemented easily, without much effort and at a low cost.
