The trajectory of the cloth from the starting point to the end point is set in such a way that the advancing direction of the cloth is changed a plurality of times without passing through the same point on the vehicle body surface twice or more, and a droplet removal region is one entire region selected from among two or three regions obtained by dividing the painted surface of the vehicle body surface into two or three.

Description

  The present invention relates to a method for quickly removing water droplets on a vehicle body that is unlikely to be scratched on the surface of the vehicle body, can prevent water droplets from drying and cause water stains, and further prevents fatigue of hands and arms. .

  When a passenger car or the like is washed, if water droplets remain on the surface of the vehicle body, the water droplets function as a lens, and dirt such as dust and dust may be burned onto the vehicle surface. The dirt burned in this way is difficult to remove from the surface of the vehicle body and tends to remain as a stain.

  In addition, if too much force is applied or the same portion is rubbed many times (see Patent Document 1), the surface of the vehicle body is easily damaged.

  Further, while wiping off the water droplets on the entire surface of the vehicle body after the car wash, squeezing the high-tech cloth or chamois leather on which the wiped water has accumulated repeatedly exhausts the hands and arms and exhausts the physical strength.

  Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for quickly removing water droplets on a vehicle body that can prevent the surface of the vehicle body from being scratched, prevent water droplets from drying and cause water stains, and prevent fatigue of hands and arms. This is what I wanted.

  That is, the water droplet removal method for a vehicle body according to the present invention is a method for removing water droplets adhering to the surface of a vehicle body without squeezing a piece of cloth, and is applied to a predetermined position on the surface of the vehicle body from which water drops are to be removed. A process of placing a piece of cloth, and in the state where both ends of the cloth in the longitudinal direction and the front end part with respect to the traveling direction are respectively gripped, while the cloth is attached to the surface of the vehicle body, starting from the predetermined position, Moving the cloth without separating from the vehicle body surface from the predetermined position serving as the starting point to a predetermined position on the vehicle body surface serving as the ending point, and the trajectory of the cloth reaching the end point from the starting point, The traveling direction is changed a plurality of times without passing the same point on the surface of the vehicle body more than once, and the water drop removal region divides the painted surface of the surface of the vehicle body into two or three regions. Any one area And wherein the door.

  In such a case, since the water droplet in a large area on the surface of the vehicle body is quickly sucked while the cloth is moved and the same portion is not rubbed many times, the vehicle body is hardly damaged. Furthermore, it is possible to easily prevent the water droplets from drying and causing water stains.

  The cloth used for removing water drops in the present invention is preferably a towel. By removing the water droplets on the surface of the vehicle body using a towel, the friction coefficient is smaller than the so-called high-tech cloth and chamois leather (including both natural leather and chemical fiber), which has been considered to be preferable in the past. It is smooth and free from scratches when moved, and can efficiently absorb water droplets.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to quickly remove water droplets on the surface of the vehicle body, and it is possible to prevent the water droplets from drying and causing water stains. Further, according to the present invention, the surface of the vehicle body is hardly damaged. Furthermore, according to the present invention, hands and arms are not tired.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  In the water droplet removal method according to the present embodiment, a bath towel is used as a cloth for removing water droplets on the surface of the vehicle body. Here, the bath towel refers to one having a size of about 50 to 100 cm × 100 to 200 cm.

  The bath towel used in the present embodiment is preferably about 90 cm × 130 cm and thick and thick. Also, those that have been used to the extent that lint does not come out are preferred, and new ones that have poor water absorption and easily generate lint, and those that have embroidery that are hard to cause damage to the surface of the car body are inappropriate. It is. The bath towel should be wet once and then fully dehydrated in a washing machine or the like, or dry.

  By removing the water droplets on the surface of the vehicle body using the bath towel in this manner, it is possible to remove water droplets of 80% or more of the entire surface of the vehicle body in a short time without squeezing the towel.

  The bath towel is preferably used by being folded. By folding and using the bath towel, it is possible to always ensure a surface that can efficiently absorb water droplets while changing the surface for absorbing water droplets.

  Furthermore, the bath towel is preferably used without being squeezed in the middle of the water droplet removing process. If the bath towel is squeezed in the middle of the water droplet removal process, moisture that cannot be squeezed without being sufficiently squeezed will spread throughout the bath towel. Bath towels with water spread throughout are inferior in water absorption, and even when folded and used, a surface that efficiently absorbs water cannot be secured.

  Note that bath towels are used for the purpose of quickly sucking out only water drops on the flat surface of the car body surface, so that after removing water drops using the bath towel, some water drops may appear on the uneven parts and details on the car body surface. Even if it remains, it may be left as it is, and it is only necessary to suck out only the water droplets remaining on the irregularities and details with a face towel of a size of about 34 to 40 cm × 34 to 90 cm. As the face towel, those used to the extent that lint does not come out are preferable, and new ones with poor water absorption and easy lint out, and those with embroidery where the embroidery area is hard and the car body surface is easily damaged Inappropriate.

  Next, an outline of a procedure for removing water droplets on the surface of the vehicle body in the present embodiment will be described. The following description is for a case where there is only one worker.

  When the surface of a vehicle body of a sedan type vehicle is to be subject to water droplet removal, as shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle body is divided into right and left, and first, the left side surface in the vehicle traveling direction is subject to water droplet removal. Then, in the manner of one-stroke writing, water droplet removal is advanced while moving the bath towel so as to follow the surface of the vehicle body in the following order. (1) Start from point A on the left front of the bonnet to the rear, (2) U-turn toward the center at the rear of the bonnet and return to the front of the bonnet, (3) Continue forward From the left half of the front grille to the left headlight, (4) From the left front fender to the left rear fender through the left front fender, to the left rear fender, (5) U-turn at the rear of the left rear fender After moving the left rear pillar from the bottom to the top, from the glass of the left rear door to the glass of the left front door, (6) The left half of the windshield from the bottom to the top, (7) The left half of the roof from the front To the rear, (8) the left half of the rear glass from top to bottom, (9) from the left side to the right side of the trunk, and (10) from the right tail lamp to the left tail lamp The You have to take.

  After removing the water drops on the left side of the vehicle body, turn it over without squeezing the folded bath towel, change the surface to absorb the water drops, and then remove the water drops on the right side in the vehicle traveling direction. At this time, in the same manner as on the left side of the vehicle body, the water droplet removal is advanced while moving the bath towel so as to follow the surface of the vehicle body according to the following order. (11) starting from point B on the right side of the rear glass and moving upward, (12) the right half of the roof from the rear to the front, (13) the right half of the windshield from the top to the bottom, (14) the center of the bonnet From the rear to the front, (15) U-turn toward the right end at the front of the bonnet, to the rear of the bonnet, (16) Via the right front pillar, (17) From the glass of the right front door to the glass of the right rear door (18) Go down the right rear pillar to the right rear fender, (19) Make a U-turn behind the right rear fender, pass the right rear fender through the right rear door and the right front door, (20) From the right headlight to the right half of the front grille, suck water droplets on the right side of the vehicle body without interruption.

  When removing water droplets on either the left or right side of the car body, do not lift the bath towel from the car body surface, reciprocate the same trajectory, turn over, squeeze, etc. In addition, it is preferable to absorb water droplets in the entire area with only one side of the folded bath towel.

  On the other hand, if the surface of the body of a van type vehicle is to be subject to water droplet removal, as shown in FIG. 2, the water droplet removal is performed while moving the bath towel so as to follow the surface of the vehicle body in the following order as shown in FIG. To proceed. That is, (1) start sucking water droplets from point A located on the left side of the bonnet, to the right side of the bonnet, (2) from the right end of the bonnet to the side of the right front fender, (3) from the right headlight Go through the front grille to the left headlight, (4) from the left front fender, through the left front door to the left rear fender, and (5) from the left tail lamp of the rear gate (rear lift-up door) to the lower part of the rear wiper Then, to the right tail lamp, (6) The right rear fender from the rear right side to the right front door, (7) From the right front door door panel to the door glass, from the right front door glass to the right side glass backward , (8) From the rear glass on the right side to the glass on the rear gate (rear lifting door), (9) Left from the rear gate glass The glass of the left front door through a rear glass surface, sucks water droplets of the vehicle body surface in succession without interruption in the middle.

  After removing the water droplets on the front, side and rear of the vehicle body, turn it over without squeezing the folded bath towel, change the water-absorbing surface, and (10) on the left half of the roof, Move the bath towel from point B located in front of the car body to the front and follow the body surface, and suck the water droplets on the left half of the windshield continuously from the front half of the roof without interruption. .

  Next, without changing the surface to absorb the water droplets on the bath towel, (11) Move the bath towel forward on the right half of the roof from the point C located at the rear, and from the front of the right half of the roof to the front Water droplets in the right half of the glass are sucked up continuously without interruption.

  In the middle of removing water droplets by dividing the body surface of a van type vehicle into three areas, without lifting the bath towel from the body surface, reciprocating the same trajectory, turning over, squeezing, etc., It is preferable to absorb water droplets in the entire area with only one side of the folded bath towel.

  The trajectory shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is a case where a single worker uses a bath towel to suck water droplets, but even if one worker is a sedan type by sucking water droplets according to the trajectory. The removal of water droplets of 80% or more of the entire vehicle body surface can be completed within 1 minute with a vehicle of less than 3 minutes or within 3 minutes with a van type vehicle having a high vehicle height.

  Subsequently, the procedure for removing water droplets on the surface of the vehicle will be described in more detail with points to be noted.

(1) Water drop removal from sedan type vehicles (one worker)
First, handling of bath towels will be described. As shown in FIG. 3 (2), the bath towel shown in FIG. 3 (1) is first folded in half at the center of the long side while maintaining the short side. Next, as shown in FIG. 3 (3), the bath towel folded in half is further folded in half at the center of the short side and folded in four. In addition, the bath towel shown in FIG. 3 (3) is the one rotated 90 degrees after being folded.
