The brush 42 and the top nozzle 43 are stopped at the upper limit position.
In the state (see FIG. 3), a pair of left and right side brushes 1
2 (L) and 12 (R) are stopped at the limit position (a), and
The vehicle V has its front wheels set to the stop position indicator 41.₁, 41 _Two
And stop.

(2). Next, surface treatment input means, that is, a normal car wash switch 37 or a wax car wash switch 38
To start normal car washing (FIG. 7, step S1).
1) When the brush automatic cleaning switch 45 is turned on (FIG. 7, step S12), the pair of side brushes 12
(L) and 12 (R) are rotated in the same direction (direction a in FIG. 6) and moved in the closing direction, and the cleaning water is injected from the detergent injection pipes 30 and 30.

(3). A pair of side brushes 12 (L),
When 12 (R) comes to the closed position (B), the traveling frame 1
(Step S13), whereby the side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) come to the position (C).

Incidentally, a pair of side brushes 12 (L),
As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, 12 (R) is moved from the (b) position to (c) by the forward running of the running frame 1.
While coming to the position, they rotate in the same direction (the direction of arrow a), and the left and right side brushes 12 (L), 12 (R)
Facing portion of the nonwoven fabric 12 _2, 12 ₂ are processed mutually interfere on top of each other, as with the first embodiment, the left and right of the nonwoven fabric 12 _2, 12 _2, rub against it, the nonwoven fabric 12 _2, 12 at that time ₂ deform and non-woven fabric 1
By 2 _2, 12 ₂ is restored deformed to the original position past the interference position, the nonwoven fabric 12 _2, 12 ₂ can be washed kneading be efficiently.

(4). A pair of side brushes 12,12
Comes to the position (C), is pushed to the front of the vehicle V, and when the operating state detecting means, that is, the shake detecting switch 23 is turned ON (step S14), as shown in FIG.
The forward traveling of the traveling frame 1 is stopped, and the rotation of the one side brush 12 (L) is stopped. After a lapse of a predetermined time, as shown in FIG.
(L) is reversely rotated in the direction of arrow b, and the rotation of the other side brush 12 (R) is stopped. After a predetermined time has elapsed, as shown in FIG. Stop the rotation of.

(5). Next, as shown in FIG. 7 (F), one side brush 12 (L) is rotated in the direction of arrow a and the other side brush 12 (R) is rotated in the direction of arrow b. (L) and 12 (R) are moved in the opening direction. Thereby, the side brush 12
The front surface of the vehicle V is cleaned between the time when (L) and 12 (R) come into contact with the front surface of the vehicle V and the time when the vehicle reaches the limit position.

(6). A pair of side brushes 12 (L),
When 12 (R) reaches the limit position, as shown in FIG. 6, the traveling frame 1 is re-traveled to move them in the closing direction. Thereby, both side surfaces of the vehicle V are cleaned.

(7). A pair of side brushes 12 (L),
When 12 (R) reaches the rear surface while cleaning both side surfaces of the vehicle V, they move in the closing direction along the rear surface, and the rear surface of the vehicle V is cleaned (step S15). Then, when the side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) come to the closing position, their rotation, forward traveling of the traveling frame 1 and injection of the washing water are stopped.

(8). In step S12 of FIG.
When the brush automatic cleaning switch 45 is OFF, the process proceeds to step S16, and the left and right side brushes 1

And the cleaning water is sprayed from the cleaning spray pipes 30, 30. And a pair of side brushes 12
When (L) and 12 (R) reach the closed limit position (b), the traveling frame 1 starts traveling forward, and proceeds from step S16 to step S14.

In the second embodiment, the pair of side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) are cleaned by omitting the automatic brush cleaning switch 45 and always proceeding directly from step S11 to step S13. However, according to this, the side brushes 12
(L) and 12 (R) are shortened, and the side brush 12
(L) and 12 (R) may be soiled or not, so it is advantageous to be able to select the washing by the brush automatic washing switch 45 depending on the use condition of each car washer.

Next, a first modification of the second embodiment will be described.

In this modification, as shown by a chain line in FIG.
Of the left and right sides, the photoelectric sensor 46, the light projector 46 ₁ and receiver 46 ₂ is provided by the photoelectric sensor 46,
The front of the vehicle V is detected. The output shaft of the traveling motor 5 is provided with a rotary encoder R as shown by a chain line in FIG. Further, from the time when the traveling frame 1 goes forward and the start position detection switch 40 separates from the cam 39 and becomes inactive, the pulse of the rotary encoder R is added to the controller 34 so that the traveling frame 1 returns. when subtracts, traveling position detecting means D ₁ is provided for detecting the traveling position from the start position of the traveling frame 1. Since then Thus the traveling position detecting means D ₁ is known conventionally, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

The operation of the first modification is the same as that of the second embodiment except for the step S14, and the other steps are the same.

In step S13, the traveling frame 1 starts going forward. Here, the traveling distance when the photoelectric sensor 46 detects the front surface of the vehicle V is Lx, and the side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) are located at positions suitable for cleaning the front surface of the vehicle V based on the traveling distance Lx. Assuming that the predetermined distance is X, the traveling distance L ₁ = Lx + X obtained by adding them to the control means 3
When traveling position detecting means D ₁ detects in 5, so that the process proceeds to step S15 in the second embodiment.

[0051] As a second modification of the second embodiment, by operating the timer T ₂ at the same time as the forward stroke start of the travel frame 1 at step S13, the timer T ₂ has elapsed the predetermined time t ₂ is time-up Then, one of the side brushes 12 (L) is rotated in the direction of the arrow b to execute step S1.
4 may be performed. In this case, the predetermined time t ₂
Is shorter than the distance that the left and right side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) reach the position (c).

[0052] Once the addition as a third modification of the second embodiment, the travel distance detecting means D ₁ of the control device in place of the timer T ₂ has detected a predetermined distance L _2, one of the side brushes 12 (L) Is rotated in the direction of arrow b, and step S1 is performed.

Is set shorter than the distance that the pair of side brushes 12 (L) and 12 (R) reach the position (c).

Further, as a fourth modification of the second embodiment, a traveling distance L ₃ obtained by adding a distance Y shorter than the predetermined distance X to the traveling distance Lx in the first modification.
= The Lx + Y, When the travel distance detecting means D ₁ detects causes one side brushes 12 (L) is rotated in the arrow b direction,
The traveling position L ₁ may also be the process proceeds to step S15 when it is detected, or the travel distance L ₃ on one side brush 12 (L) may proceed to step S14 is rotated in the direction of arrow b.

When a vehicle surface treatment input means for starting the surface treatment of (V) (37,38), the operating condition detecting means for detecting the processing operation state of the surface treatment apparatus _{(23,46, D 1, T 2} ), A vehicle (V) based on the operation of each of the driving means accompanying the input operation of the surface treatment input means (37, 38).
A surface treatment device for a vehicle, which is capable of treating the surface of the vehicle, wherein a cleaning water injection unit (Wj) capable of injecting cleaning water to the processing assembly (12, 12); and the surface treatment input unit (37, 38). ), The rotation drive means (14, 14) is controlled so that the pair of processing assemblies (12, 12) are rotated in the same direction, and the operation state detection means (23, 46) is further controlled. , D
₁ , T ₂ ) and a pair of processing assemblies (1
And control means (35) for controlling the rotation driving means (14, 14) so that the pair of processing assemblies (12, 12) are rotated in the opposite direction from the same direction. During the rotation in the same direction of 12), the pair of processing assemblies (12, 12) approaching each other interfere with each other so that their opposing portions can be rubbed and scrubbed. Cleaning equipment for processing assemblies in the equipment.
