The two support wheels 34a and 34b are linked and connected to each other by a single transmission shaft 35 that traverses the inside of the traveling body 33. The single transmission shaft 35 has support wheels 34a and 34b at the outer ends. The mounted wheel mounting shafts 35a and 35b and the pipe member 35c that connects and integrates the inner ends of the wheel mounting shafts 35a and 35b can be used. The transmission shaft 35 is interlocked and connected via a motor 36 incorporated in the traveling body 33 and a chain transmission means 37, and can be driven to rotate in any forward or reverse direction by the motor 36.

  The support wheel 34a is only supported on one end of the traveling body 33 supported by the guide rail 13a, but the other end of the traveling body 33 supported by the guide rail 13b is supported on the other end side. In addition to the wheel 34b, a roller that can freely rotate around a pair of front and rear vertical support shafts arranged on both front and rear sides of the support wheel 34b via a horizontal support plate 38 attached to the upper surface of the traveling body 33. Rollers 40a and 40b that are freely rotatable are supported around a pair of front and rear horizontal support shafts 39a and 39b and a pair of front and rear horizontal shafts disposed on the front and rear sides of the support wheel 34b. The former rollers 39a and 39b are fitted between the outer vertical plate portion 18 and the inner vertical plate portion 19 of the rails 15a and 15b, and the length direction of the traveling body 33 is relative to the guide rails 13a and 13b. The posture of the traveling body 33 is maintained so as to be oriented at a right angle. The latter rollers 40a and 40b are adjacent to the lower surface of the upper horizontal rail plate portion 17a of the rails 15a and 15b, and the traveling body 33 is The rotating body 33 is prevented from rotating around the transmission shaft 35 and the traveling body 33 is held in an upright posture.

  The traveling body 33 of this embodiment is provided with a high foaming detergent spraying means for spraying a high foaming detergent as a processing liquid toward the vehicle body. As shown in FIG. 8, the high foaming detergent spraying means includes nozzles 41a and 41b disposed downward at two locations on the left and right of the center in the length direction of the traveling body 33, and left and right two steps lower on the outside of these nozzles. It consists of nozzles 41c and 41d that are disposed obliquely inward and downward at the locations. In the traveling body 33, one pipe 43 that supplies the high foaming detergent to the nozzles 41 a to 41 d via the distribution hose 42 disposed in the traveling body 33 is perpendicular to the outer side near the center of the traveling body 33. It is attached in the direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, between the traveling body 33 and the guide rail 13 b on one side, a hose or the like 44 in which a hose for feeding a highly foamed detergent to the pipe 43 and a power supply line for the motor 36 are combined. Is suspended via the support means 45. The support means 45 is composed of a first boom 47 and a second boom 48 having substantially the same length and connected to a vertical support shaft 46 so as to be bent horizontally. The free end of the first boom 47 is swingable horizontally at a position near the lower end of the vertical column shaft 49 that is vertically supported between the guide rail 13b and the connecting member 5 of the vertical frame 2B on one side of the supporting structure 1. The free end of the second boom 48 is supported by an upper end of a vertical support shaft 50 erected vertically from the traveling body 33 so as to be horizontally swingable. The vertical column shaft 49 is screwed and fastened to a screw hole mounting member 51 fixed on the upper horizontal rail plate 17a of the guide rail 13b, and the upper end of the vertical column shaft 49 has a vertical frame. It is fixed to a support plate 52 that is fixedly projected from the connecting member 5 of 2A.

  At a position near the upper end of the vertical support shaft 49 on the guide rail 13b side, a suspension member 53 that is rotatable around the vertical support shaft 49 is provided. A suspension rod 54 that suspends one boom 47 and holds it in a horizontal posture is interposed. The first and second booms 47 and 48 are provided with groove members 55 and 56 for supporting the hose 44 and the like along the lower side of the booms 47 and 48. Further, a U-shaped member 57 that supports the hose 44 and the like is attached to the vertical support shaft 49 on the guide rail 13 b side so as to be rotatable around the vertical support shaft 49.

  The hose or the like 44 is a groove member 59 laid on the upper side of the guide rail 13b in a groove member 58 (see FIG. 1) provided along the support 4a of the vertical frame 2B on one side of the support structure 1. (Refer to FIG. 1), inside the U-shaped member 57 of the vertical support shaft 49, inside the groove member 55 of the first boom 47, and inside the groove member 56 of the second boom 48. The hose for feeding the high foaming detergent is connected to the pipe 43 of the traveling body 33 and the power supply line is connected to the motor 36. When the hose or the like 44 is handed over, the bending motion of the first and second booms 47 and 48 accompanying the traveling of the traveling body 33 is not obstructed, and the hose or the like 44 is not bent excessively. Although an appropriate margin is secured between the free ends of the first and second booms 47 and 48 and between the first and second booms 47 and 48, the margin around the free ends of the first boom 47 is secured. Since the minute portion is lifted upward by the U-shaped member 57, the hose or the like does not largely protrude outward at this location. Of course, the hose or the like 44 that bypasses the periphery of the vertical support shaft 49 on the free end side of the first boom 47 is lifted upward by the U-shaped member 57 to ensure the necessary margin length. When the boom 47 swings horizontally around the vertical support shaft 49, the hose 44 and the like around the vertical support shaft 49 easily and easily twists with the rotation of the U-shaped member 57 around the vertical support shaft 49. It can be performed.

  An example of a method of using the processing apparatus configured as described above will be described. The vehicle C is guided at the center position between a pair of left and right vertical frames 2A and 2B of the support structure 1 at the guide rails 13a and 13b of the guide rail assembly 12. In parallel with 13b, the guide rail assembly 12 is entered from the side where the connecting member 14 is present, and is stopped with the front end of the automobile C positioned at a predetermined position P. In this state, the traveling body 33 waiting at the home position adjacent to the connecting member 14 of the guide rail assembly 12 is energized to the motor 36 via the power supply line in the hose 44 and the like, and a pair of left and right support wheels. By forwardly driving 34a and 34b, the vehicle travels forward at a predetermined speed. When the traveling body 33 reaches the position above the rear end of the vehicle C, a high foam detergent obtained by diluting water to a predetermined magnification with water from a high foam detergent supply device (not shown) is mixed with a hose in a hose 44 or the like. The traveling body 33 is fed forward to the nozzles 41a to 41d of the traveling body 33 via the piping 43 and the distribution hose 42 and sprayed from the nozzles 41a to 41d. Accordingly, the surface of the automobile C can be covered with a layer of detergent foam.

  When the traveling body 33 reaches the position above the front end of the automobile C and the covering process of the foaming detergent on the automobile C is completed, the traveling body 33 is temporarily stopped, and then the motor 36 is driven in reverse to drive the traveling body 33 backward. And stop at the original home position. On the other hand, the car C, which has been covered with the foaming detergent, is subsequently washed by hand washing or machine washing, but this car washing process may be performed while the car C is stopped in the processing apparatus. You may make it leave from a processing apparatus. Of course, water can be sprayed on the surface of the automobile C as necessary before the foaming detergent coating process by this processing device in order to allow the foaming detergent to be washed away at the time of car washing. In this case, a water spray nozzle is provided separately from the nozzles 41a to 41d in the traveling body 33 of the processing apparatus having the above-described configuration, and water is supplied from the ground side by a water supply hose incorporated in the hose or the like 44 into the water spray nozzle. It is configured so that water spraying is performed during traveling of the traveling body 33 or during the first reciprocating traveling, and high foaming detergent is sprayed during backward traveling of the traveling body 33 or during the second reciprocating traveling. it can. Alternatively, the high foaming detergent spraying nozzle and the water spraying nozzle may be shared, and the high foaming detergent and water may be switched and supplied by a common hose or other hoses.

  The processing apparatus of this embodiment can be configured and used as described above, but when the traveling body 33 is in the home position adjacent to the connecting member 14 of the guide rail assembly 12, as shown in FIG. In addition, the first boom 47 constituting the support means 45 of the hose and the like 44 is in a posture substantially parallel to the guide rail 13b just above the guide rail 13b on one side, and the second boom 48 is just above the traveling body 33. The first and second booms 47 and 48 are substantially perpendicular to each other in a posture substantially parallel to the traveling body 33. Accordingly, the first and second booms 47 and 48 constituting the support means 45 are in a state of overlapping the guide rail 13b and the traveling body 33 in plan view. As the traveling body 33 travels forward, the first and second booms 47 and 48 are pulled by the traveling body 33 while changing the angle between them, and swing horizontally. As indicated by the phantom line, when the traveling body 33 reaches the forward limit position opposite to the home position, the first and second booms 47 and 48 are folded slightly before the 180-degree unfolded posture. Since it stops in the bending posture, when the traveling body 33 starts reverse traveling, the first and second booms 47 and 48 can smoothly and reliably bend in the direction of returning to the original bending posture. In other words, the length and the pivot support position of the first and second booms 47 and 48 are determined so that the support means 45 can operate as described above.

  In the above embodiment, the first and second booms 47 and 48 are configured to have substantially the same length, but the length may be changed. Further, the free end support position (the position of the vertical support shaft 49) of the first boom 47 may be set to the center position in the length direction of the guide rail 13b. In this case, the mounting member 51 with a screw hole for erecting the vertical column shaft 49 is attached to the upper surface of the long upper L-shaped connecting plate 21 of the connecting means 16 that connects the single rails 15a and 15b of the guide rail 13b. It will stick.

  It is conceivable that the highly foamed detergent sprayed from the nozzles 41a to 41d of the traveling body 33 traveling is scattered around by the wind. In order to suppress scattering of the highly foamed detergent, when both the vertical frames 2A and 2B of the support structure 1 or the vertical frame 2A or 2B on one side are adjacent to the wall of the building, the vertical frame on the opposite side Windproof means can be combined with 2B or 2A. As this windproof means, in addition to plate materials (thin steel plates, etc.) that can completely block the wind, vertical windbreak materials such as nets made of fiber or synthetic resin, punching metal, expanded metal, etc. that can moderate the wind moderately. An example in which a thin steel plate is used as a windproof material will be described below.

  In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, an intermediate strut 60 is added to the pair of left and right vertical frames 2 </ b> A and 2 </ b> B of the support structure 1 so as to be positioned at a substantially central position between the pair of front and rear struts 4 a and 4 b. . The intermediate strut 60 has the same height as the position to which the L-shaped support plate 29 of the struts 4a and 4b is attached, and the rails 15a of the guide rails 13a and 13b are provided at the upper end inside. , 15b, the short lower L-shaped connecting plate 22 constituting the connecting means 16 is fixed, and the brace mounting plate 61 is fixed inside the intermediate height. Thus, as described above, after the support structure 1 is installed, the rails 15a and 15b are supported and coupled to the L-shaped support plates 29 of the columns 4a and 4b, and the predetermined structure on the floor surface is set. When the adjacent end portions of the rails 15a and 15b are connected to each other by using the lower L-shaped connecting plate 22 inside the upper end of the intermediate strut 60 standing at the position and the long upper L-shaped connecting plate 21. At the same time, this connecting portion can be supported by the intermediate strut 60. On the other hand, the intermediate strut 60 has four braces 67a to 67d which are stretched between the two upper and lower portions of the respective struts 4a and 4b (the upper side is the L-shaped support plate 29) and the brace mounting plate 61 of the intermediate strut 60. Thus, the pair of front and rear columns 4a and 4b are also connected. That is, in this configuration, the braces 67a to 67d are used instead of the braces 6a and 6b used in the previous embodiment.

  A thin strip unit steel plate 62 as a windproof material stretched between the pair of left and right vertical frames 2A and 2B configured as described above is provided between the support column 4a and the intermediate support column 60, and between the intermediate support column 60 and the support column 4b. A plurality of sheets in the vertical direction are stretched separately. Each of the band-shaped unit steel plates 62 has reinforcing groove portions 62a and 62b which are bent inwardly on both upper and lower sides so as to enter between the columns 4a and 60 and between the columns 60 and 4b and in which the grooves face each other. At the same time, mounting pieces 62c that can come into contact with the surfaces of the columns 4a and 60 and the surfaces of the columns 60 and 4b protrude from the left and right sides. The strip-shaped unit steel plates 62 are arranged between the support columns 4a and 60 and between the support columns 60 and 4b in a state where the plurality of strip-shaped unit steel plates 62 are vertically adjacent to each other in the reinforcing groove portions 62a and 62b. Wind-proof windshields 62c are fixed to the front surfaces of the columns 4a, 4b, 60 by bolts and nuts 62 so as to cover substantially the entire surface below the guide rails 13a, 13b of the vertical frames 2A, 2B. Make up surface. It should be noted that the attachment pieces 62c of the band-shaped unit steel plates 62 on both sides are attached to the intermediate strut 60 by a common bolt and nut 63 in a state of being overlapped.

  By forming a windproof surface that covers most of each of the vertical frames 2A and 2B as described above, the support structure 1 is subjected to a large wind pressure, and the column as a support strength member of the support structure 1 There is a risk of insufficient strength in 4a and 4b. In order to cope with this, it is conceivable to use thick and thick steel pipes for the support posts 4a and 4b, but as shown in the figure, when attaching the attachment pieces 62c of the strip unit steel plate 62 to the surface side of the support posts 4a and 4b, For example, a contact member 64 such as a square steel tube that is the same as the square steel pipe constituting the support columns 4 a and 4 b is brought into contact with the outer side of the mounting piece 62 c along the support columns 4 a and 4 b, and the band-shaped unit steel plate 62 is interposed via the contact member 64. By attaching the attachment piece 62c to the support posts 4a and 4b, the strength deficiency of the support posts 4a and 4b can be compensated. In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, since the square steel pipe formed from the thin steel plate is utilized as the abutting member 64, the inner side wall part of the abutting member 64 which sandwiches the attachment piece 62c of the strip-shaped unit steel plate 62, and the columns 4a and 4b. Large-diameter through-holes 65a through which the bolt nuts 63 can be inserted into the outer wall portions of the abutting members 64 and the inner wall portions of the columns 4a, 4b so that the outer wall portions can be directly clamped by the bolt nuts 63. 65b is formed, but depending on the cross-sectional structure of the abutting member 64 and the pillars 4a and 4b, both may be fastened by a long bolt and nut from the outside of the abutting member 64 and the pillars 4a and 4b. good.

  The long upper L-shaped connecting plate 21 and the short lower L-shaped connecting plate 22 are used as the connecting means 16 of the rails 15a, 15b constituting the guide rails 13a, 13b of the previous embodiment. However, this is because when the intermediate strut 60 is used, the guide rail support member required when the intermediate support strut 60 supports the guide rails 13a and 13b is connected to the lower L-shaped connection of the connecting means 16. This is because the plate 22 is also used. Therefore, when not considering the shared use of such a member, the connecting means 16 used when the intermediate strut 60 is not used is such that the upper L-shaped connecting plate 21 and the lower L-shaped connecting plate 22 are integrated. A single U-shaped connecting plate can be used.

  In addition, when the treatment apparatus of the present invention is used for spraying a highly foamed detergent as described above, the surface of the automobile C is covered with a detergent foam film, so that the surrounding people can visually recognize this situation. Can expect a show-like effect. In order to enhance this show effect at night, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rear upper end corners of the pair of left and right vertical frames 2A and 2B of the support structure 1 are directed obliquely inward and downward. It is desirable to install a floodlight 66 that can be illuminated and to illuminate the vehicle C covered with the detergent foam film by both floodlights 66.

  The guide rail structure of the processing apparatus according to the present invention is installed in a car wash or a hand wash car wash station equipped with various car wash machines, for example, water, ordinary detergent (shampoo) in a car, and a layer of detergent foam on the body surface. It can be used as a guide rail structure of a processing apparatus for spraying a processing liquid agent such as a high foaming detergent for the purpose of forming a foam.
