Description

本発明は、洗車機本体の洗車エリアに洗車利用者が自ら自動車を乗り入れ、所定の停車位置に停車させた後、自動車に乗ったまま洗車機本体による洗車サービスを受けるセルフサービス式の洗車装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a self-service car wash apparatus that receives a car wash service by a car wash machine body after the car wash user enters the car wash area in the car wash area of the car wash machine body and stops at a predetermined stop position. Is.

この種の洗車装置は、所定の停車位置に停車させた自動車を跨いで走行する門型状の洗車機本体を備え、洗車機本体に装備される洗浄ブラシや乾燥ノズルによって自動車車体を洗浄・乾燥する装置であって、この洗車装置を利用するにあたり、洗車利用者が自ら洗車エリアに自動車を乗り入れ、停車位置へ自動車を停車させた後、自動車に乗ったまま洗車を受け、洗車が終了したら洗車エリアから自動車を退出させるセルフサービスで用いられる。   This type of car wash device has a portal-type car wash machine body that travels across a car parked at a predetermined stop position. When using this car wash device, the car wash user puts the car in the car wash area, stops the car at the stop position, receives the car wash while on the car, and when the car wash is finished Used for self-service to leave the car out of the area.

このような洗車装置では、洗車利用者が自動車に乗ったまま洗車サービスを受けるため、洗車中に自動車を移動(自走)させてしまうことに起因した洗車事故が報告されている。そのため、特許文献1に示すように、停車位置にタイヤ(前輪)が乗り込んだことを検出する踏み込みスイッチ付きの停止板を備え、洗車中の自走を検知して洗車を異常停止させている。   In such a car wash apparatus, since a car wash user receives a car wash service while riding on a car, a car wash accident caused by moving (self-propelled) the car during car wash has been reported. Therefore, as shown in Patent Document 1, a stop plate with a depression switch for detecting that a tire (front wheel) has entered the stop position is provided, and self-running during the car wash is detected to abnormally stop the car wash.

洗車中の自走の原因として、例えば接近する洗車ブラシに自動車を近づけなければいけないという錯覚から自動車を前進させるケース(1)、接近する洗車ブラシに対する恐怖心から自動車を後進させるケース(2)、乾燥ノズルが自動車の後方に至ったときに洗車終了と勘違いして自動車を前進させるケース(3)等がある。特許文献1のタイヤ停止板では、踏み込みスイッチがONからOFFに転じることで自動車の移動を検出することはできるものの、自動車が前進移動したのか、後進移動したのかを判別することができないので、洗車中に自走が発生し、踏み込みスイッチがONからOFFに転じた時点で洗車を異常停止させている。   As a cause of self-running during car washing, for example, a case where the car is advanced from the illusion that the car must be brought close to the approaching car wash brush (1), a case where the car is moved backward from the fear of the approaching car wash brush (2), drying There is a case (3) or the like in which the vehicle is moved forward when the nozzle reaches the rear of the vehicle and the vehicle is misunderstood. The tire stop plate of Patent Document 1 can detect the movement of the automobile by turning the depression switch from ON to OFF, but cannot determine whether the automobile has moved forward or backward. The car wash is stopped abnormally when self-running occurs and the depression switch turns from ON to OFF.

洗車が異常停止すると、洗車管理者が自動車とブラシの状態を確認しながら手動操作にてエラー解除措置を行わなければならない。上記ケース(1)〜(3)のうち、ケース(1)は、接近する洗車ブラシに自動車を衝突させる危険性が高いため、エラー解除措置が必要となるが、ケース(2)・(3)は、洗車ブラシや乾燥ノズルに自動車を衝突させる危険性は比較的低いため、エラー解除措置が不要なことも多い。にもかかわらず、異常停止が発生する毎に洗車の状態を確認しなければならないため、洗車管理者にかなりの負担が掛かるとともに、洗車機の稼働効率が低下する不都合も生じていた。   When a car wash stops abnormally, the car wash manager must take error-handling measures by manual operation while checking the state of the car and brush. Of the cases (1) to (3), the case (1) has a high risk of causing the automobile to collide with the approaching car wash brush. Since there is a relatively low risk of a car hitting a car wash brush or a drying nozzle, error-relief measures are often unnecessary. Nevertheless, since it is necessary to check the state of the car wash every time an abnormal stop occurs, a considerable burden is placed on the car wash administrator, and the operation efficiency of the car wash machine is reduced.

特許第2876933号公報Japanese Patent No. 2876933

そこで本発明は、洗車中に自走が発生しても、不要な異常停止をさせずに、洗車管理者の負担を軽減し、洗車機の稼働率が低下を防ぐ洗車装置を提供することを目的とする。   Therefore, the present invention provides a car wash device that reduces the burden on the car wash manager and prevents the operation rate of the car wash machine from being lowered, without causing unnecessary abnormal stops even if self-running occurs during the car wash. Objective.

このような課題を解決するために本発明は、洗車エリアの停車位置に停車した自動車に対し、門型に形成される洗車機本体を走行させて該洗車機本体に装備される洗車処理装置により自動車の車体を洗浄/乾燥する洗車装置において、停車位置において自動車のタイヤを検出し、自動車の入車方向に対して進入側に設けられる第1スイッチと、自動車の入車方向に対して退出側に設けられる第2スイッチとを備えたタイヤ検出手段と、該タイヤ検出手段の第1及び第2スイッチでタイヤを検出している状態で洗車機本体による洗車を許可し、洗車実行中にタイヤ検出手段の第1及び第2スイッチがタイヤ非検出に転じるとその順番から自動車の移動及び移動方向を検知し、自動車の移動方向及び洗車機本体の洗車状況に応じて異常停止とするか否かを判断し、異常停止が不要と判断すると洗車機本体及び洗車処理装置に対処動作を与える洗車制御手段を備えた。   In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a car wash processing apparatus installed in a car wash machine body by running a car wash machine body formed in a gate shape with respect to an automobile stopped at a stop position in a car wash area. In a car washing device for washing / drying a car body, a car tire is detected at a stop position, and a first switch provided on an entry side with respect to the entry direction of the automobile, and a exit side with respect to the entry direction of the automobile A tire detection means having a second switch provided in the vehicle, and permits the car wash by the car washer while the tire is detected by the first and second switches of the tire detection means, and detects the tire during the car wash. When the first and second switches of the means turn to tire non-detection, the movement and movement direction of the automobile are detected from the order, and the abnormal stop is made according to the movement direction of the automobile and the car wash situation of the car wash machine body. Determine whether, with the car wash control means for providing a corrective action in the abnormal stopping is judged to be unnecessary car wash body and car wash processing apparatus.

タイヤ検出手段は、第1スイッチがタイヤ非検出に転じた後、第2スイッチがタイヤ非検出に転じると自動車が停車位置から前方に移動したことを検知し、第2スイッチがタイヤ非検出に転じた後、第1スイッチがタイヤ非検出に転じると自動車が停車位置から後方に移動したことを検知する。   The tire detection means detects that the vehicle has moved forward from the stop position when the second switch turns to tire non-detection after the first switch turns to tire non-detection, and the second switch turns to tire non-detection. After that, when the first switch turns to tire non-detection, it is detected that the automobile has moved backward from the stop position.

洗車制御手段は、洗車機本体が移動しながら洗車処理装置を自動車の車体上面に作用させる段階で、自動車が洗車機本体の移動方向と逆方向に移動したことを検知すると、異常停止が不要と判断して対処動作として洗車機本体と洗車処理装置を洗車開始位置に戻し、自動車に対して停車位置に案内する報知を行う。   When the car wash control means detects that the car has moved in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the car wash machine at the stage where the car wash treatment device acts on the upper surface of the car body while the car wash machine moves, an abnormal stop is unnecessary. It judges and returns a car-washing machine main body and a car-washing processing apparatus to a car-wash start position as coping action, and performs the alert | report which guides to a stop position with respect to a motor vehicle.

また、洗車制御手段は、洗車機本体が移動しながら洗車処理装置が自動車の最も高い位置に達した後の段階で、自動車が洗車機本体の移動方向と逆方向に移動したことを検知すると、異常停止が不要と判断して対処動作として洗車処理装置の下降を禁止した状態で洗車機本体の移動を継続させる。   In addition, when the car wash control means detects that the car has moved in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the car wash machine body at the stage after the car wash processing apparatus reaches the highest position of the car while the car wash machine body moves, It is determined that an abnormal stop is unnecessary, and the movement of the main body of the car wash machine is continued in a state where the lowering of the car wash processor is prohibited as a coping operation.

本発明によれば、洗車中に自走が発生しても、不要な異常停止をさせずに、洗車管理者の負担を軽減し、洗車機の稼働率が低下を防ぐことができる。   ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, even if self-propelled driving | running | working occurs during a car wash, without making an unnecessary abnormal stop, the burden of a car wash administrator can be reduced and the operating rate of a car wash machine can be prevented from decreasing.

以下、本発明の実施態様について、図面を用いて説明する。
図1は実施態様の洗車装置を示す平面図である。
1は洗車機本体で、門型に形成されレール2・2上を往復走行して、レール2・2間に形成される洗車エリアAへ進入した自動車を洗車機本体1内に設ける洗車処理装置により洗浄・乾燥するものである。洗車エリアAの入場口付近には、洗車料金を投入して希望の洗車コースを選択する等の洗車受付を行う洗車受付装置3と、洗車エリアAの入場を制限するゲート装置4が設けられ、自動車に乗ったまま洗車受付装置3を操作し、洗車を受け付けるとゲート装置4のゲートが開いて自動車の洗車エリアAへの進入が可能となる。
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a car wash apparatus according to an embodiment.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a car wash machine body, which is formed in a gate shape and reciprocates on rails 2 and 2 to provide a car wash processing apparatus in the car wash machine body 1 for entering a car wash area A formed between the rails 2 and 2. Wash and dry with Near the entrance of the car wash area A are provided a car wash acceptance device 3 for accepting a car wash such as selecting a desired car wash course by introducing a car wash fee, and a gate device 4 for restricting entrance to the car wash area A, When the car wash acceptance device 3 is operated while being on the car and the car wash is accepted, the gate of the gate device 4 is opened and the car can enter the car wash area A.

5はタイヤ検出装置で、自動車のタイヤを検出して洗車エリアAにおける自動車の停車位置を与える。タイヤ検出装置5は、待機位置にある洗車機本体1の所定距離前方にあたる洗車エリアAの床面に敷設され、図2に示すように、洗車する自動車を車幅方向に挟むように配置される左右一対のセンサユニット6・7と、該センサユニット6・7の進入方向奥側にセンサユニット6・7間を横断して設けられるタイヤ止め8とから構成される。   Reference numeral 5 denotes a tire detection device which detects a vehicle tire and gives a stop position of the vehicle in the car wash area A. The tire detection device 5 is laid on the floor surface of the car wash area A, which is a predetermined distance ahead of the car wash machine body 1 at the standby position, and is arranged so as to sandwich the car to be washed in the vehicle width direction as shown in FIG. A pair of left and right sensor units 6 and 7 and a tire stopper 8 provided across the sensor units 6 and 7 on the back side in the approach direction of the sensor units 6 and 7 are configured.

センサユニット6は、自動車の進入方向の前後に2つの発光部6a・6bを配列し、カバー6cによって保護されている。センサユニット7は、センサユニット6の発光部6a・6bと対向する受光部7a・7bを配列し、カバー7cによって保護されている。このセンサユニット6・7により、自動車の進入方向に対して前方に発光部6a−受光部7aの光軸B1が形成され、後方に発光部6b−受光部7bの光軸B2が形成され、各光軸の検出状況により自動車の停車を検出するものである。   The sensor unit 6 has two light emitting portions 6a and 6b arranged in the front and rear of the direction of entry of the automobile, and is protected by a cover 6c. The sensor unit 7 includes light receiving portions 7a and 7b facing the light emitting portions 6a and 6b of the sensor unit 6, and is protected by a cover 7c. The sensor units 6 and 7 form the optical axis B1 of the light emitting part 6a-light receiving part 7a in the front with respect to the direction of entry of the automobile, and the light axis B2 of the light emitting part 6b-light receiving part 7b is formed in the rear. The stop of the automobile is detected based on the detection status of the optical axis.

このタイヤ検出装置5は、自動車が洗車エリアAに入場してくる際には、自動車の停車位置を与える停車検知として機能し、洗車が開始された後には、自動車が停車位置にあることを監視する自走検知として機能する。このため、光軸B1・B2の間隔Sは、各タイヤサイズ毎の接地長さに対応し、停車検知機能及び自走検知機能の各機能における検知精度を考慮して決定される。   The tire detection device 5 functions as a stop detection that gives a stop position of the car when the car enters the car wash area A, and monitors that the car is at the stop position after the car wash is started. It functions as self-running detection. For this reason, the distance S between the optical axes B1 and B2 corresponds to the contact length for each tire size, and is determined in consideration of detection accuracy in each function of the stop detection function and the self-running detection function.

例えば、停車検知機能においては、図3(a)に示すように、光軸B1・B2が両方ともタイヤで遮光される範囲を自動車の適正な停車位置とするため、いかなるサイズのタイヤでも確実に両光軸の遮光状態が得られることを条件に、検知精度を左右する停車許容範囲R1を考慮して光軸B1・B2の間隔Sが決定される。   For example, in the stop detection function, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the range where both the optical axes B1 and B2 are shielded by the tires is set to an appropriate stop position of the vehicle, so that any size tire can be reliably used. The distance S between the optical axes B1 and B2 is determined in consideration of the stop allowable range R1 that affects the detection accuracy on the condition that the light shielding state of both optical axes is obtained.

また、自走検知機能においては、図3(b)に示すように、光軸B1・B2が両方とも遮光から透光に転じた状態を自動車の移動とするため、光軸B1遮光−光軸B2透光の状態から光軸B1透光−光軸B2遮光のまでの自走許容範囲R2を考慮して光軸B1・B2の間隔Sが決定される。尚、ここでは、これらの条件を考慮してS=50〜100mmの範囲で設定している。   Further, in the self-running detection function, as shown in FIG. 3B, since the state where both the optical axes B1 and B2 are changed from light shielding to light transmission is the movement of the automobile, the light axis B1 light shielding-optical axis. The distance S between the optical axes B1 and B2 is determined in consideration of the free-running allowable range R2 from the state of B2 light transmission to the light transmission from the optical axis B1 to the light shielding of the optical axis B2. Here, S = 50 to 100 mm is set in consideration of these conditions.

9はガイド表示器で、洗車エリアAの退場口後方に設置され、洗車受付時には自動車の入場を案内し、洗車中には洗車動作の進行状況や異常発生等を表示し、洗車終了時には自動車の退場を案内する。入場案内は、洗車エリアAに進入する自動車に対して、タイヤ検出装置5で与える自動車の状況に応じて「前進」「停止」「後進」といった指示表示を行う。洗車中案内は、実行している洗車工程の表示と自走を禁止する注意表示を行う。退車案内は、洗車が終了したことを案内し、自動車を移動させる指示表示を行う。尚、自動車入場時及び洗車中には自動車の運転席から視認しやすい位置にし、自動車退出時には自動車退出路から退避させる揺動式にしてもよい。   9 is a guide indicator, which is installed behind the exit of the car wash area A. When the car wash is accepted, it will guide the entrance of the car. During the car wash, it will display the progress of the car wash operation and the occurrence of abnormalities. Guide you to leave. In the entrance guidance, instructions such as “forward”, “stop”, and “reverse” are displayed on the vehicle entering the car wash area A in accordance with the state of the vehicle provided by the tire detection device 5. The car wash guidance displays a car wash process that is being executed and a caution notice that prohibits self-running. In the leaving guidance, the car washing is completed and an instruction to move the car is displayed. It should be noted that the position may be a position that is easily visible from the driver's seat when entering the car and during the car wash, and may be of a swinging type that is retracted from the car exit path when leaving the car.

And a voice guide unit to be provided.

次に、このように構成する本発明の洗車装置の動作について説明する。
自動車で洗車受付装置3の前に乗り入れ、ドライバーが自動車に乗ったまま洗車受付装置3で洗車受付を開始すると、受付制御ボード21では、タイヤ停止装置5の光軸チェックを行い、各光軸B1・B2が正常に動作するかの確認を行う。光軸チェックでは、発光部6a・6bを発光させる前の受光部7a・7bでの受光レベルと、発光部6a・6bを発光させた後の受光部7a・7bでの受光レベルとの差分レベルが基準値よりも高ければ各光軸B1・B2が正常である(すなわち発光不良、受光不良がない)と判断し、タイヤ停止装置5に基づく入車案内を行う。
Next, the operation of the car wash apparatus of the present invention configured as described above will be described.
When the vehicle enters the car wash acceptance device 3 and the driver starts the car wash acceptance with the car wash acceptance device 3 while in the car, the reception control board 21 checks the optical axis of the tire stop device 5 and each optical axis B1.・ Check if B2 operates normally. In the optical axis check, the difference level between the light reception level at the light receiving units 7a and 7b before the light emitting units 6a and 6b emit light and the light reception level at the light receiving units 7a and 7b after the light emitting units 6a and 6b emit light. Is higher than the reference value, it is determined that each of the optical axes B1 and B2 is normal (that is, there is no light emission failure or light reception failure), and vehicle entry guidance based on the tire stopping device 5 is performed.

光軸チェックで光軸B1・B2の異常が認められると、タイヤ停止装置5に基づく停車案内は行わず、車形検出装置15及び入車センサ16による停車案内を行う。尚、車形検出装置15及び入車センサ16による停車案内については、洗車機本体1の前側に位置する入車センサ16で車体検出し、且つ洗車機本体1内に位置する車形検出装置15が車体検出していない位置で、自動車の停車位置が設定される従来方式と同様であるため説明は省略する。   If an abnormality in the optical axes B1 and B2 is recognized in the optical axis check, stop guidance based on the tire stop device 5 is not performed, and stop guidance is performed by the vehicle shape detection device 15 and the vehicle entrance sensor 16. As for the stop guidance by the vehicle shape detection device 15 and the vehicle entry sensor 16, the vehicle shape detection device 15 located in the car wash machine body 1 is detected by the vehicle detection sensor 16 located on the front side of the car wash machine body 1. Since this is the same as the conventional method in which the stop position of the automobile is set at a position where the vehicle body is not detected, description thereof will be omitted.

続いて、自動車が洗車エリアAへ進入する際の入車案内について、図5を用いて説明する。
洗車受付が完了しゲート装置4が開くと、タイヤ検出装置5の両光軸B1・B2が透光している状態で、ガイド表示器9に「前進」の案内表示を行い(a)、タイヤ停止装置5の透光/遮光状況を監視していく。ユーザは、このガイド表示に従い自動車を洗車エリアAへ乗り入れていき、タイヤ停止装置5のタイヤ止め8を目安に進入させる。
Subsequently, vehicle entry guidance when the vehicle enters the car wash area A will be described with reference to FIG.
When the car wash acceptance is completed and the gate device 4 is opened, the guide indicator 9 displays "forward" guidance in a state where both optical axes B1 and B2 of the tire detection device 5 are transparent (a), and the tire The light transmitting / shading state of the stopping device 5 is monitored. The user enters the car into the car wash area A according to the guide display, and enters the tire stop 8 of the tire stop device 5 as a guide.

自動車の進入に伴い、タイヤ(前輪)が光軸B1を遮光し(b)、続いて光軸B2も遮光して両光軸が両方とも遮光されると(c)、自動車が停車位置に達したと判断してガイド表示器9で「停止」の案内表示を行い、ユーザに停車を促す。ユーザは、この案内に従って自動車の走行を停止させれば良く、停車位置に停車された状態が所定時間以上継続されると、停車が確定し洗車動作へ移行する。   As the vehicle enters, the tire (front wheel) blocks the optical axis B1 (b), and then the optical axis B2 also blocks both the optical axes (c), so that the vehicle reaches the stop position. The guidance display 9 displays a “stop” guidance display and prompts the user to stop. The user only has to stop the driving of the automobile according to this guidance. When the state where the vehicle is stopped at the stop position continues for a predetermined time or more, the stop is confirmed and the car washing operation is started.

タイヤ(前輪)が停車位置を通り抜け、光軸B1が遮光から透光に転じると(d)、自動車が停車位置から行き過ぎたと判断してガイド表示器9で「後進」の案内表示を行い、ユーザに後進を促す。ユーザは、この案内に従って自動車をバックさせることで、自動車を所定の停止位置に停車させることができる。   When the tire (front wheel) passes through the stop position and the optical axis B1 changes from light blocking to translucent (d), it is determined that the automobile has gone too far from the stop position, and the guide display 9 displays a "reverse" guidance display. Encourage backwards. The user can stop the vehicle at a predetermined stop position by backing the vehicle according to this guidance.

ユーザがガイド表示器9で「後進」の案内表示が出されているにも関わらず自動車を前進させ続け、両光軸B1・B2が透光に転じると(e)、タイヤ(前輪)がタイヤ検出装置5を突き抜けたと判断して、次に遮光される光軸によって案内表示を切り替える。すなわち、光軸B1・光軸B2が透光から遮光に転じる順番からタイヤ検出装置5で検出されるタイヤが前輪か後輪かを判別している。   When the user continues to move the vehicle forward even though the “reverse” guidance display is displayed on the guide display 9, and both optical axes B1 and B2 turn to translucent light (e), the tire (front wheel) becomes the tire. It is determined that the detection device 5 has been penetrated, and the guidance display is switched according to the light axis that is shielded next. That is, it is determined whether the tire detected by the tire detection device 5 is the front wheel or the rear wheel from the order in which the optical axis B1 and the optical axis B2 change from light transmission to light shielding.

ここで、光軸B2が先に遮光されると(d)、自動車の後進によりタイヤ検出装置5が自動車の前輪を検出したと判断してガイド表示器9で「後進」の案内表示を継続させ、続いて光軸B1も遮光して両光軸が遮光されると、自動車が停車位置に達したと判断してガイド表示器9で「停止」の案内表示を行う。   Here, when the optical axis B2 is shielded first (d), it is determined that the tire detection device 5 has detected the front wheel of the automobile by the backward movement of the automobile, and the guidance display 9 continues the "reverse" guidance display. Subsequently, when the optical axis B1 is also shielded and both the optical axes are shielded, it is determined that the automobile has reached the stop position, and the guidance display 9 displays a “stop” guidance display.

一方、光軸B1が先に遮光されると(f)、自動車が前進を続けタイヤ検出装置5が自動車の後輪を検出したと判断してガイド表示器9で「後進」の案内表示を継続させ、続いて光軸B2も遮光して両光軸が両方とも遮光されると(g)、ガイド表示器9で「警告」の案内表示を行う。尚、タイヤ検出装置5で自動車の後輪を検出することは明らかな異常状態であるため、ガイド表示の他に音声出力して正しい位置へ戻るよう警告することが望ましい。   On the other hand, when the optical axis B1 is shielded first (f), the vehicle continues to move forward and it is determined that the tire detection device 5 has detected the rear wheel of the vehicle, and the guidance display 9 continues to display “reverse” guidance. Subsequently, when the optical axis B2 is also shielded and both optical axes are shielded (g), the guide display 9 displays a "warning" guidance. In addition, since it is an obvious abnormal state that the tire detection device 5 detects the rear wheel of the vehicle, it is desirable to issue a warning to return to the correct position by outputting sound in addition to the guide display.

上記手順で停車位置が確定すると、洗車機本体1を往行(第1往行)させて、走行検出装置14と車形検出装置15で自動車の形状を検出しながら検出した車形に沿って洗浄ブラシ10・11・11を車体面に作用させる洗浄工程を実行する。続いて、洗車機本体1を復行(第1復行)させて、同様に洗浄ブラシ10・11・11を車体面に作用させる洗浄工程を実行する。最後に、再び洗車機本体1を往行(第2往行)させて、乾燥ノズル12・13・13を車形に沿って車体面に作用させる乾燥工程を実行し、洗車機本体1が洗車エリアAの入場口側に停止した状態で洗車が終了となる。洗車が終了すると、ガイド表示器9で退車を案内して自動車がこの退車案内に従って退場したことをタイヤ検出装置5及び退車センサ17で確認すると、洗車機本体1を待機位置に戻して終了となる。尚、洗車コースは、このような洗車機本体1の1.5往復洗車以外も実行できる。   When the stop position is determined by the above procedure, the car wash machine main body 1 travels (first travel), along the vehicle shape detected while detecting the shape of the automobile with the travel detection device 14 and the vehicle shape detection device 15. A cleaning process for causing the cleaning brushes 10, 11, and 11 to act on the vehicle body surface is executed. Subsequently, the car wash machine main body 1 is returned (first return), and similarly, a cleaning process is performed in which the cleaning brushes 10, 11, 11 are applied to the vehicle body surface. Finally, the car wash machine body 1 is made to travel again (second travel), and a drying process is performed in which the drying nozzles 12, 13, and 13 act on the body surface along the vehicle shape. The car wash ends with stopping at the entrance side of area A. When the car wash is completed, the vehicle is guided by the guide display 9 and the vehicle is exited in accordance with the exit guide. When the tire detection device 5 and the car exit sensor 17 confirm the car exit, the car wash machine body 1 is returned to the standby position. End. The car washing course can be executed other than the 1.5 round-trip car washing of the car washing machine main body 1 as described above.

このように実行される洗車中は、タイヤ検出装置5で自動車の移動(自走)を監視している。ここで、洗車実行中に自動車の移動(自走)が検出されると、洗浄ブラシや乾燥ノズルに自動車が接触し破損する事故が懸念されるとともに、検出した車形にズレが生じるため、洗車機本体1を緊急停止させ、洗車を中止するようにしている。しかしながら、自動車の移動方向が洗浄ブラシや乾燥ノズルから遠ざかる移動であれば、接触事故の危険性は低くなるため、洗車を一旦中断させて洗車機本体1を洗車開始位置に戻して再洗車を行ったり、洗車ブラシや乾燥ノズルの作動に制限を与えて洗車を継続させることができる場合もある。そこで、本発明では、自動車の移動方向と洗車状況に応じて、洗車中止・洗車継続・洗車中断を判別し、洗車の途中で異常停止する機会を減らすことで洗車管理者が手動でエラー解除する手間の軽減を図っている。   During the car wash thus performed, the tire detection device 5 monitors the movement (self-propelled) of the automobile. Here, if the movement (self-propelled) of a car is detected during the car wash, there is a concern that the car may come into contact with the washing brush or the drying nozzle and break, and the detected car shape will be misaligned. The machine body 1 is stopped urgently to stop the car wash. However, if the moving direction of the car moves away from the washing brush or the drying nozzle, the risk of a contact accident is reduced. Therefore, the car washing is temporarily stopped and the car washing machine main body 1 is returned to the car washing start position to perform the washing again. In some cases, the car wash can be continued by limiting the operation of the car wash brush and the drying nozzle. Therefore, in the present invention, the car wash manager manually cancels the error by determining the car wash stop / car wash continuation / car wash interruption according to the moving direction of the car and the car wash situation, and reducing the chance of abnormal stop during the car wash. The effort is reduced.

自動車の移動方向は、タイヤ検出装置5の両光軸B1・B2が遮光から透光に転じたときに、どちらの光軸B1・B2が先に透光に転じたかによって判断される。すなわち、タイヤ検出装置5の両光軸B1・B2が遮光している停車状態から両光軸B1・B2が透光に転じた時点で自走を検出し、光軸B1が透光に転じてから光軸B2が透光に転じたときは、自動車が前進移動したと判断し、光軸B2が透光に転じてから光軸B1が透光に転じたときは、自動車は後進移動したと判断する。   The moving direction of the automobile is determined based on which optical axis B1 or B2 is first converted to light transmission when both optical axes B1 and B2 of the tire detection device 5 are changed from light shielding to light transmission. That is, self-running is detected when both optical axes B1 and B2 change to translucent from the stop state where both optical axes B1 and B2 of the tire detection device 5 are shielded from light, and the optical axis B1 changes to translucency. When the optical axis B2 changes to translucency, it is determined that the automobile has moved forward. When the optical axis B2 changes to translucency after the optical axis B2 has changed to translucency, the automobile has moved backward. to decide.

次に、自動車の移動方向を検出すると、図6に示すように、実行中の洗車工程や、洗車機本体1の走行位置に基づく洗浄ブラシ及び乾燥ノズルの自動車との相対位置に応じて自動車の移動に対処する。   Next, when the moving direction of the automobile is detected, as shown in FIG. 6, the car washing process being performed and the position of the washing brush and the drying nozzle based on the traveling position of the car wash machine body 1 are determined according to the relative position of the automobile. Deal with the move.

洗車機本体1の第1往行(洗浄工程)において、トップブラシ10が待機位置から自動車の車体面に作用するまでの範囲(イ)にあるとき、タイヤ検出装置5で自動車の後進移動を検出した場合は、トップブラシ10と自動車が接触する危険性は低いため、一旦洗車機本体1の走行とトップブラシ10の昇降及び回転を停止して洗車動作を中断し、ガイド表示器9で「車両移動禁止」の警告表示を行った後、「前進させて下さい」の案内表示を行う。ここで再びタイヤ検出装置5で停車位置を確認すると、洗車機本体1とトップブラシ10を待機位置に戻して洗車を再開させることができる。   When the top brush 10 is in the range (i) from the standby position to the car body surface of the automobile in the first outbound (washing process) of the car wash machine body 1, the tire detection device 5 detects the backward movement of the automobile. In this case, since the risk of the top brush 10 and the automobile coming into contact with each other is low, the car washing operation is temporarily stopped by stopping the running of the car wash machine body 1 and the raising and lowering and rotation of the top brush 10. After the “Movement prohibited” warning is displayed, the “Move forward” guidance is displayed. Here, when the stop position is confirmed again by the tire detection device 5, the car wash main body 1 and the top brush 10 can be returned to the standby position to restart the car wash.

また、洗車機本体1の第2往行(乾燥工程)において、トップノズル12が待機位置から自動車の車体面に作用するまでの範囲(イ)にあるとき、タイヤ検出装置5で自動車の後進移動を検出した場合は、トップノズル12と自動車が接触する危険性は低いため、一旦洗車機本体1の走行とトップノズル12の昇降を停止して洗車動作を中断し、ガイド表示器9で「車両移動禁止」の警告表示を行った後、「前進させて下さい」の案内表示を行う。ここで再びタイヤ検出装置5で停車位置を確認すると、洗車機本体1とトップノズル12を待機位置に戻して洗車を再開させることができる。   Further, when the top nozzle 12 is in a range (i) from the standby position to the vehicle body surface of the vehicle in the second outbound (drying process) of the car wash machine body 1, the tire detection device 5 moves the vehicle backward. Since the risk of contact between the top nozzle 12 and the automobile is low, the vehicle washing machine body 1 is temporarily stopped and the top nozzle 12 is raised and lowered to interrupt the washing operation. After the “Movement prohibited” warning is displayed, the “Move forward” guidance is displayed. Here, when the stop position is confirmed again by the tire detection device 5, the car wash machine body 1 and the top nozzle 12 can be returned to the standby position to restart the car wash.

更に、洗車機本体1の第2往行(乾燥工程)において、トップノズル12が自動車の最も高い位置を越えた後の範囲(ハ)にあるとき、タイヤ検出装置5で自動車の前進移動を検出すると、自動車と乾燥ノズルが接触する可能性が低いので、異常停止にせず、トップノズル12の下降を禁止して洗車を継続させることができる。   Furthermore, when the top nozzle 12 is in the range (c) after exceeding the highest position of the vehicle in the second outbound (drying process) of the car wash machine body 1, the tire detector 5 detects the forward movement of the vehicle. Then, since the possibility that the automobile and the drying nozzle come into contact with each other is low, the car wash can be continued by prohibiting the top nozzle 12 from being lowered without causing an abnormal stop.

尚、洗車中に自動車が移動する原因としては、ドライバーが自ら自動車を走行させてしまうケースと、洗車ブラシを自動車に押し付けたときの衝撃で移動してしまうケースとが考えられるが、後者の場合、タイヤ検出装置5の両光軸B1・B2が遮光に転ずることはほぼないので、両光軸B1・B2の状況で自走を判別することができる。   In addition, as a cause that the car moves during the car wash, there are a case where the driver runs the car himself and a case where the car moves due to the impact when the car wash brush is pressed against the car. Since both optical axes B1 and B2 of the tire detection device 5 are hardly switched to light shielding, self-running can be determined in the situation of both optical axes B1 and B2.

この発明は、以上のように実施できるものであるが、上記実施例に限定されるものではない。実施例ではドライブスルー方式の洗車装置について説明したが、それ以外のセルフサービス洗車装置にも適用できる。また、車体検出装置として反射式および透過式の光電スイッチを利用するが、光電スイッチに限らず所定エリアに車体が存在することを検知できるものであれば、いずれも適用が可能である。   The present invention can be implemented as described above, but is not limited to the above embodiments. In the embodiment, the drive-through type car wash apparatus has been described, but the present invention can be applied to other self-service car wash apparatuses. Moreover, although the reflection type and the transmission type photoelectric switch are used as the vehicle body detection device, any device can be applied as long as it can detect the presence of the vehicle body in a predetermined area without being limited to the photoelectric switch.
