Next, the operation will be described with reference to FIG. First, the vehicle is stopped at a predetermined position with respect to the car washer body 1, and when a start switch of the operation unit 11 is pressed, a start signal is input (ST1), and a drive signal is output to the traveling motor 2.
As a result, the traveling motor 2 rotates forward (ST2), the traveling wheel 3 is rotated by the traveling motor 2, and the car washer body 1 moves forward. When the car washer body 1 moves forward and the tire sensor 9 detects a tire provided on the vehicle, and a detection signal is input from the tire sensor 9 (ST3), the control device 21 receives a detection end signal from the tire sensor 9. Waiting state (S
T4). Then, the pulse signal from the encoder 12 and the tire diameter pulse in the memory 22 are judged by the judging means 23,
If a pulse signal from the encoder 12 is measured for a tire diameter pulse or more while the detection end signal is input from the tire sensor 9, it is determined that the tire is a tire (ST 5). When it is located (ST6), a drive stop signal is output to the traveling motor 2, the traveling motor 2 stops, and the car washer body stops. Then, a drive signal is output to the tire brush drive mechanism 10,
The tire brush 8 is rotated, moved to a washing position indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 3, and is brought into contact with a tire provided on the vehicle to perform washing. Then, the pulse signal at this position is stored and used as a reference for detecting the other tire (ST7). If the pulse signal from the encoder 12 is smaller than the tire diameter pulse, it is determined as a protrusion, and the output of the drive stop signal and the drive signal to the traveling motor 2 and the tire brush drive mechanism 10 is invalidated.

Thereafter, the control device 21 measures the wheel length pulse from the position where the tire was washed until the pulse signal from the encoder 12 is input from the tire sensor 9 to the detection signal (ST10). The period from when the detection signal is input (ST11) to when the detection end signal is input (ST12), the determination means 23 determines whether or not the pulse signal from the encoder 12 and the tire diameter pulse in the memory 22 are greater than or equal to. to decide. If the pulse signal from the encoder 12 is measured to be equal to or larger than the tire diameter pulse, it is determined that the tire is the other tire (ST1)
3), when the tire brush 8 is located at the tire position from the distance pulse in the memory 22 (ST14), a drive stop signal is output to the traveling motor 2, the traveling motor 2 stops, and the car washer body 1 stops.
