Description

The present invention relates to an automobile tire wheel cleaning device.

At present, most of the tire wheel cleaning devices for automobiles are hand-washed with a hand-type tool with a brush or sponge at the tip.

In addition, there are those that rotate a disk-type cleaning brush, those that spray steam and high-pressure water, etc., just like tire wheels, and they have a certain effect.

Problems to be solved by the invention

However, in the case of uneven aluminum wheels that are currently installed, which can be said to be the mainstream, the attached dirt is difficult to remove if it is rubbed with the brush surface.

The dirt on the tire wheel is mainly mud, dust, brake dust, etc., but the flat surface of the wheel is relatively easy to clean, but the uneven part has various shapes, depths, etc. Dirt is difficult to remove by rubbing, and labor is required.

In addition, if excessive force is applied, and rubbing and cleaning with a brush, the plated aluminum plate is easily scratched and may result in loss of gloss.

Means to solve the problem

The present invention is an apparatus for cleaning a tire wheel of an automobile, which differs from a cleaning method based on a reciprocating motion of a cleaning brush or a rotating motion of a disk-like brush, and the tire wheel is cleaned by the vibration of the cleaning brush at a high speed. It is.

By making the cleaning brush vibrate at high speed, it is possible to remove the dirt on the wheel more efficiently and easily than simply rubbing or rotating the cleaning brush.

In addition, by replacing the cleaning brush with one having a different shape, it is possible to clean even a deeply shaped portion with an uneven surface of the wheel by pressing the vibrating brush.

Unlike a cleaning method using a reciprocating motion or a rotational motion, the gloss plated wheel is a cleaning method in which a vibrating brush is applied to a dirty portion, so that the gloss plated wheel is not scratched or loses its gloss.
The power source obtained by rotating the vibration source of the brush with the water pressure of the water supply is changed to a piston motion, and the running water is drained from the brush tip, so that the cleaning ability can be enhanced.

Embodiments and embodiments of the invention

The configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A handle 16 is provided in the housing 1, and a rotating gear 5 and a face gear 6 are combined with a propeller 2 that is rotated by a water flow as a power source for starting high-speed vibration in the brush body 12, and a piston arm is connected to the face gear 6 7, a piston arm 7 is provided with a vibrating arm 8 that engages with the brush body 9 so as to enable high-speed vibration. On the other hand, the rear part of the casing 1 is provided with a tap water hose attachment part 10 and a tap water flow rate adjusting valve 3 and a knob 4 for adjusting the rotation of the propeller 2. The tap water is connected to the casing 1 and the brush body 12 and the bellows hose 9. It is configured to pass through the interior and drain from a water flow hole 15 provided at the tip from the bellows hose coupling portion 14 provided in the brush body 12.
In addition to the propeller 2 rotating in the water flow as a power source, a rotating body 17 provided with a large number of rotor blades is used, or in addition to tap water, a hand switch 19 and a motor 18 are respectively used with a cigar plug 21 of an automobile as a power source. A method of connecting and using the cable 20 is possible.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
A tap water hose is attached to the water hose mounting portion 10 of the housing 1 and the tap water 11 is allowed to flow.
The tap water 11 can appropriately adjust the rotation of the propeller 2 as a power source and the vibration of the brush body 12 at the same time by appropriately adjusting the flow rate with the knob 4 of the tap water regulating valve 3.
In this manner, the tire wheel is cleaned using water, detergent, and the like discharged from the water flow holes 15 of the brush 13a.
Further, the large flat brush 13b and the side deep groove brush 13c can be used depending on the shape of the tire wheel and the degree of dirt.

The invention's effect

The vibration of the brush can easily remove the dirt on the tire wheel.
Easy to clean because the water pressure can be adjusted by hand.
Dirt can be easily removed by using different brushes.
