Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement in a vehicle washing device for washing a vehicle undercarriage such as a backhoe, a bulldozer, a dump truck, a truck, or the like, that is, a crawler or a wheel of a vehicle. Further, the present invention relates to a vehicular cleaning apparatus that can reduce the initial cost, requires less maintenance, and enhances the water-saving effect and the cleaning effect.

  In general, since vehicles such as backhoes, bulldozers, and dump trucks work in a poor scaffolding, mud adheres to crawlers and wheels during the work.

  Mud that adheres to the crawlers and wheels of the vehicle, the operator uses a high-pressure washer after the work is completed, and sprays high-pressure washing water from the washing nozzle of the high-pressure washer onto the crawlers and wheels of the vehicle. The adhering mud is washed away.

  However, manual cleaning requires a great deal of labor and time, and costs (labor costs and water bills) are added, and the cleaning water splashes back during the cleaning operation and the operator gets wet. .

  Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, an automatic cleaning apparatus that can automatically clean the undercarriage of a vehicle to which mud adheres has been developed and put into practical use (for example, Non-Patent Document 1).

  That is, although not shown in the drawing, the automatic cleaning device moves back and forth along the vehicle on a pair of guide rails disposed along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle at both side positions of the vehicle such as a backhoe. A pair of nozzle units in which a plurality of nozzles are arranged in a line in the vertical direction, a submersible pump for supplying cleaning water to the pair of nozzle units, a control unit for controlling the pair of nozzle units and the submersible pump, and the like Has been.

  Thus, according to the automatic cleaning device, the cleaning water supplied from the submersible pump is supplied from all the nozzles of the nozzle unit while moving the pair of nozzle units on the guide rail along the side of the vehicle. By injecting the underbody (crawler, wheel, etc.), the underbody of the vehicle is automatically cleaned.

  Since the automatic cleaning apparatus can automatically clean the undercarriage of the vehicle, it is possible to reduce labor and work time.

However, the automatic cleaning apparatus still has problems as shown in the following (1) to (5).
(1) In other words, the automatic cleaning device has guide rails that are longer than the vehicle body on both sides of the vehicle, and the nozzle unit is disposed on each guide rail so that it can travel. As a result, the initial cost is increased, the installation area is increased, and there is a problem that it cannot be installed in a small site.
(2) In the automatic cleaning device, the nozzle unit is moved and moved on the guide rail by a chain drive mechanism consisting of a chain, sprocket, etc., but the chain drive mechanism requires lubrication and is subject to water and mud. It is not suitable for use in various places. For this reason, when the automatic cleaning device is used, oil flows due to water, and accordingly, the chain pin is thinned and the chain is immediately extended. In addition, H steel is used as a guide for the chain and the running roller, and the chain and the running roller are respectively placed on the H steel, so that the H steel is worn. Furthermore, the adhering mud tends to wear the drive side sprocket and the driven side sprocket. As a result, the automatic cleaning apparatus has a problem that the frequency of maintenance is high and the cost is high due to the replacement of parts.
(3) In the automatic cleaning device, the nozzle jetting direction of the nozzle unit can be adjusted manually, and the nozzle header pipe to which the nozzle is attached moves slightly up and down. The direction of spraying cannot be changed greatly, and because it is not possible to perform spraying at an angle in the vertical direction, there are cases where it is not possible to clean areas that must be intensively cleaned, and the cleaning effect is low. was there.
(4) Depending on the type and condition of the mud adhering to the undercarriage of the vehicle and the position of the mud adhering, the automatic washing device may not completely remove the mud, and the worker uses a high pressure washer after automatic washing. Finish cleaning must be done manually. As a result, there was a problem that a high pressure washer was required in addition to the automatic washer.
(5) If the mud that bounces back during washing is placed on the chain of the chain drive mechanism, the safety device will work and stop, so the washing operation will be interrupted frequently. There was a problem of being inferior.

  Then, the backhoe crawler is cleaned by automatic operation or manual operation of the main cleaning machine 1 and the sub-cleaning machine 2, and then the backhoe crawler is finished and cleaned using the finishing manual nozzle 33.

  In the above embodiment, both the main washing machine 1 and the sub washing machine 2 are operated automatically or manually. However, in other embodiments, the main washing machine 1 is automatically operated, Alternatively, the sub-washer 2 may be manually operated to clean the backhoe crawler.

  As described above, the vehicle cleaning apparatus is composed of the portable main cleaning machine 1 and the sub-cleaning machine 2, so that the apparatus itself can be greatly reduced in size as compared with the conventional automatic cleaning apparatus. The installation area is small, and it can be installed even in a small site, and the initial cost can be reduced.

  In addition, since the cleaning device for a vehicle only has the cleaning nozzles 6 of the main cleaning machine 1 and the sub-cleaning machine 2 swinging in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, the number of driving parts is small and the structure can be simplified. It becomes difficult to break down. As a result, the frequency of maintenance is reduced and the cost can be reduced.

  Further, the vehicle washing apparatus has a configuration in which the washing nozzle 6 swings in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction, so that the direction of washing water injection can be greatly changed, and an angle in the vertical direction is provided. Injecting can be performed reliably and satisfactorily up to a fine part around the undercarriage of the vehicle A, for example, a crawler gap, and the cleaning effect can be enhanced. In addition, since the height of the cleaning nozzle 6 can be adjusted, the direction of spraying the cleaning water and the angle in the vertical direction can be further changed, and the cleaning effect can be further enhanced. Moreover, since the ejector nozzle which mixes and injects washing water and air is used for the washing nozzle 6, the mixed water of water and air will be ejected from the washing nozzle 6, and the water-saving effect and the washing effect are enhanced. be able to.
