  • the invention relates to a vehicle treatment system and an operating method with the features in the preamble of the main method and device claims.
  • portal washing systems in self-service mode must be started by a conscious switching process. This can be done for example by a start button or by inserting a washing card or the like.
  • the vehicle is first driven into the washing hall and brought into the washing position in front of or under the portal.
  • the vehicle driver and the vehicle occupants must then leave the vehicle and the washing facility and start the system from the outside in the manner mentioned.
  • This operation is time-consuming and significantly increases the total time required for a washing process.
  • Self-service portal washing systems is the so-called cycle system, in which the vehicle has to be moved by the driver between washing and drying. This system is also switched on or started externally. The driver must first press a start button outside the car wash or a wash card in an external wash card reader throw in. Only then can he drive the vehicle into the wash hall and position it in the start position that is suitable for washing. When the target position is reached, a light barrier is interrupted, which then starts the washing process.
  • cycle systems there is a legal requirement that the washing area can be permanently monitored by the system personnel through a direct view or via a video camera. The driver himself has no way of stopping the washing process again or preventing the washing start in the event of false triggering, collisions or other critical situations. In this respect, there is a considerable security risk with such systems.
  • a car wash is known in which a camera is arranged at a distance from the side of the system and with which the vertical height of the passing vehicle is measured.
  • the camera is used for the contour-controlled movement of a high-pressure roof nozzle, which is moved over the vehicle.
  • the camera does not respond to signals from the vehicle and cannot record them.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features in the main method and device claim.
  • the remote-controlled vehicle treatment system which responds to active signals from the vehicle, has various advantages that significantly improve its user-friendliness.
  • the active signals are usually triggered by the vehicle driver. These signals can be optical or acoustic in nature and can be used with the signaling devices already present on the vehicle, such as a horn or Flasher, trigger. Alternatively, it is also possible to carry out any other signaling, for example using a permanently installed transmitter or a handheld transmitter issued by the system operator against a deposit. Here the signaling can take place wirelessly via radiation or in another way, for example by radio, ultrasound, infrared light or the like. Signaling can also be done mechanically.
  • the vehicle driver no longer has to leave his vehicle when washing the vehicle in a gantry car wash. It can remain in the vehicle protected from moisture, cold and other unpleasant external influences. By avoiding getting on and off, the risk of accidents is also minimized.
  • the advantages mentioned also apply to any other passengers.
  • the signals coming from the vehicle are recorded and evaluated using suitable detection devices.
  • the detection devices can be used for an actuating device with which the vehicle treatment system can be started and possibly also stopped from the vehicle by the vehicle driver himself.
  • a start signal can e.g. be given by flashing the flasher while a
  • Stop signal is given by pressing the sound horn.
  • the stop signal can also trigger an alarm at the plant operator in emergencies.
  • more complex instructions can be given.
  • the use of a suitable display device is recommended.
  • the detection devices can also be used for a drive-in aid that guides the driver safely and reliably when driving into the vehicle treatment system.
  • Mechanical guardrails or the like other guide devices that attack the vehicle itself are not required. By eliminating such guardrails, accident safety and comfort in the vehicle wash system can be improved.
  • the detection devices work with the entry aid as measuring devices, which determine the position and orientation of the vehicle when entering and in the target position, evaluate it using a suitable control system and then give the vehicle driver the steering instructions required in the event of incorrect positions.
  • the detection devices can be designed in any suitable manner for the various purposes. Depending on the application, optical, radiation technology or acoustic
  • Detection devices can be present individually or in combination. Accordingly, the vehicle washing system can have an actuating device to be triggered by the driver, alone or in combination with a drive-in aid.
  • the detection devices can have non-contact sensors, in particular optical or light-sensitive and / or acoustic and / or radiation-sensitive sensors.
  • other optical detection devices for example camera systems or so-called vision systems, can be used.
  • the detection devices are particularly reliable and work reliably and precisely even under the ambient conditions prevailing in a vehicle wash system. In particular, the effort for assembly, installation, Maintenance and operation with optical detection devices low. They also have advantages in terms of cost.
  • the camera systems have the advantage that they can also be used for other purposes, in particular for contour detection and for controlling and / or monitoring the treatment processes or the vehicle treatment system. Camera systems are also particularly inexpensive and reliable. If only a drive-in aid is required, cheap systems with a low resolution and low computing capacity requirements, which are based on the headlights of the vehicle, are sufficient. Better camera systems with higher resolution allow the aforementioned contour detection with the control and monitoring functions.
  • the arrangement of the display device in the opening of the portal has the advantage that it can be located in the immediate field of vision in front of the vehicle driver and can be recognized very well.
  • the arrangement is on one
  • Roof treatment unit especially the roof drying nozzle, particularly cheap.
  • Such roof treatment units are usually height-adjustable.
  • the display device for operator guidance can be lowered directly into the field of vision in front of the driver and removed for the subsequent treatment process or also for the exit.
  • the display device no longer needs to be protected in such a complex manner because it can be moved upwards with the roof nozzle during washing operation into a relatively splash-proof position.
  • the display device can be designed differently. In the preferred exemplary embodiment, it is a switchable optical display directed towards the vehicle driver. Different design options are given in the subclaims. This enables the operator guidance to transmit better, more comprehensive and more targeted information to the vehicle driver than before.
  • another form of signaling can also occur, for example spoken messages.
  • the preferred display device allows the driver to be fully instructed with detailed instructions when entering the vehicle wash system.
  • the display device can also be used to transmit other types of messages to the vehicle driver during operation, e.g. Exit notices, information on the scope and current status of vehicle treatment, advertising notices etc.
  • the display device enables the vehicle driver to give suitable control signals based on the information displayed.
  • the display device can also provide complete instruction and operator guidance for the remote control of the vehicle treatment system or its parts.
