Description

本発明は、洗車ブラシで自動車車体をブラッシング洗浄する際に、車体との接触度合いをブラシモータの電流値により監視するようにした洗車機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a car wash machine in which the degree of contact with a car body is monitored by the current value of a brush motor when the car body is brushed with a car wash brush.

このような洗車機では、洗車ブラシを回転駆動するブラシモータの電流値が設定された上限電流閾値と下限電流閾値との間に保持されるように、ブラシを車体に接離させる制御を行っている。電流閾値は、ブラシモータの個体差や経年変化等に対応するため、洗車開始前に調整され、洗車ブラシを空転させたときの空転電流値に基づいて設定されている。(例えば、特許文献1)   In such a car wash machine, control is performed to bring the brush into and out of the vehicle body so that the current value of the brush motor that rotationally drives the car wash brush is maintained between the set upper limit current threshold value and the lower limit current threshold value. Yes. The current threshold value is adjusted before the start of the car wash in order to cope with individual differences and aging of the brush motor, and is set based on the idling current value when the car wash brush is idled. (For example, Patent Document 1)

ところで、昨今の洗車機は、あらゆるタイプの車両が洗車できるように、洗車可能な車両サイズを拡張する傾向にある。このため、洗車可能範囲ぎりぎりの車両を洗浄する際には、洗車ブラシが待機位置の近くで回転することになり、ブラシ毛が洗車機内板や特許文献2に示す水切り用のパイプ状当接部材に接触してしまうことがあった。   By the way, recent car wash machines tend to expand the size of vehicles that can be washed so that all types of vehicles can be washed. For this reason, when washing a vehicle that is close to the car washable range, the car wash brush rotates near the standby position, and the brush hair is a pipe-like contact member for draining as shown in the car wash machine inner plate or Patent Document 2. There was a case where it touched.

ブラシが車体以外に接触してしまうと、ブラシ電流値の上昇が、車体との接触によるものか車体以外との接触によるものかが判断できず、ブラシの接離を制御することができないという問題があった。   If the brush contacts other than the vehicle body, it cannot be determined whether the increase in the brush current value is due to contact with the vehicle body or due to contact with other than the vehicle body, and the brush contact / separation cannot be controlled. was there.

A first current threshold value is set from the current value at the time, and a second current threshold value is set from the current value when the brush motor is rotated at an idle position where the car wash brush does not contact the contact member other than the vehicle body. The brush moving means is controlled by switching the reference threshold value for determining contact with the vehicle body according to the moving position.

本発明は以上のように構成され、ブラシと車体との接触状態を判断するための基準値をブラシ位置や車体洗浄位置に応じて切り替えるようにしたので、ブラシと車体との接触を確実に判断することができる。   The present invention is configured as described above, and the reference value for determining the contact state between the brush and the vehicle body is switched according to the brush position or the vehicle body cleaning position, so that the contact between the brush and the vehicle body is reliably determined. can do.

昇降制御部41は、走行位置検出部38及び昇降位置検出部40から入力される本体フレーム1の走行位置及び上面洗浄ブラシ5の昇降位置に応じてデータ記憶部46から上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoを呼び出し、上面洗浄ブラシの電流検出部39から入力されるブラシモータ15の電流値Asが上限電流閾値AHi〜下限電流閾値ALoの間になるよう昇降モータ19を制御する。すなわち、検出電流値Asが上限電流閾値AHiよりも大きい場合(As>AHi)は、車体への接触圧が強いと判断してブラシを車体から離す方向に移動させ、検出電流値Asが下限電流閾値ALoよりも小さい場合(As<AHi)は、車体への接触が弱いと判断してブラシを車体に近づける方向に移動させるよう昇降モータ19を制御する。   The raising / lowering control unit 41 receives the upper limit current threshold AHi and the lower limit current from the data storage unit 46 according to the running position of the main body frame 1 and the raising / lowering position of the upper surface cleaning brush 5 input from the running position detection unit 38 and the raising / lowering position detection unit 40. The raising / lowering motor 19 is controlled such that the threshold value ALo is called and the current value As of the brush motor 15 input from the current detector 39 of the upper surface cleaning brush is between the upper limit current threshold AHi and the lower limit current threshold ALo. That is, when the detected current value As is larger than the upper limit current threshold AHi (As> AHi), it is determined that the contact pressure to the vehicle body is strong, the brush is moved away from the vehicle body, and the detected current value As is the lower limit current. When it is smaller than the threshold value ALo (As <AHi), it is determined that the contact with the vehicle body is weak, and the lifting motor 19 is controlled so as to move the brush in the direction approaching the vehicle body.

The open / close position detector 43 counts the pulse signal of the open / close encoder 30 and detects the movement position of the side cleaning brushes 6 and 6 from the open position detected by the open switches 31L and 31R to detect the open / close controller 44 and data creation. To the unit 45.

開閉制御部44は、走行位置検出部38及び開閉位置検出部42から入力される本体フレーム1の走行位置及び側面洗浄ブラシ6・6の開閉位置に応じてデータ記憶部44から上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoを呼び出し、側面洗浄ブラシ電流検出部41から入力されるブラシモータ26の電流値Asが上限電流閾値AHi〜下限電流閾値ALoの間になるよう開閉モータ29を制御する。すなわち、検出電流値Asが上限電流閾値AHiよりも大きい場合(As>AHi)は、車体への接触圧が強いと判断してブラシを車体から離す方向に移動させ、検出電流値Asが下限電流閾値ALoよりも小さい場合(As<AHi)は、車体への接触が弱いと判断してブラシを車体に近づける方向に移動させるよう開閉モータ29を制御する。   The open / close control unit 44 receives the upper limit current threshold AHi from the data storage unit 44 according to the travel position of the main body frame 1 and the open / close position of the side surface cleaning brushes 6 and 6 input from the travel position detection unit 38 and the open / close position detection unit 42. The lower limit current threshold ALo is called, and the open / close motor 29 is controlled such that the current value As of the brush motor 26 input from the side surface cleaning brush current detection unit 41 is between the upper limit current threshold AHi and the lower limit current threshold ALo. That is, when the detected current value As is larger than the upper limit current threshold AHi (As> AHi), it is determined that the contact pressure to the vehicle body is strong, the brush is moved away from the vehicle body, and the detected current value As is the lower limit current. When it is smaller than the threshold value ALo (As <AHi), it is determined that the contact with the vehicle body is weak, and the open / close motor 29 is controlled so as to move the brush in the direction approaching the vehicle body.

データ作成部45は、走行位置検出部38,電流検出部39・42,昇降位置検出部40,開閉位置検出部43からの入力に基づいて、ブラシと車体との接触状態を判断する上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoを設定する。データ記憶部46は、データ作成部45で作成した上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoが各洗浄ブラシの位置毎にテーブル化されて記憶される。   The data creation unit 45 is based on inputs from the travel position detection unit 38, current detection units 39 and 42, the lift position detection unit 40, and the open / close position detection unit 43, and an upper limit current threshold value for determining the contact state between the brush and the vehicle body. AHi and the lower limit current threshold ALo are set. The data storage unit 46 stores the upper limit current threshold value AHi and the lower limit current threshold value ALo created by the data creation unit 45 in a table for each position of each cleaning brush.

このような構成により、上面洗浄ブラシ5及び側面洗浄ブラシ6でブラッシング洗浄を行う際に、データ記憶部46に記憶された上限電流閾値AHi〜下限電流閾値ALoの間になるように、上面洗浄ブラシ5を昇降、側面洗浄ブラシ6を開閉してブラッシング洗浄が実行されることになる。   With such a configuration, when performing the brushing cleaning with the upper surface cleaning brush 5 and the side surface cleaning brush 6, the upper surface cleaning brush is set so as to be between the upper limit current threshold AHi and the lower limit current threshold ALo stored in the data storage unit 46. Brushing cleaning is executed by raising and lowering 5 and opening and closing the side surface cleaning brush 6.

Here, the setting operation of the upper surface cleaning brush 5 will be described.

まず、上面洗浄ブラシ5を待機位置HP(パイプ状当接部材22にブラシ毛が接触する位置)で回転させて電流値A1を検出し(1)、検出した電流値A1に対して所定のオフセット値H,Lを加えて上限電流閾値A1Hi(=A1+H)と下限電流閾値A1Lo(=A1+L)を設定する(2)。次に、上面洗浄ブラシ5を空転位置KP(パイプ状当接部材22にブラシ毛が接触しない位置)に移動させ、その位置でブラシを回転させて電流値A2を検出し(3)、検出した電流値A2に対して所定のオフセット値H,Lを加えて上限電流閾値A2Hi(=A2+H)と下限電流閾値A2Lo(=A2+L)を設定する(4)。その後、洗浄する車体部位(ここではキャビン上面・箱体上面)毎に予め設定されている補正値a,bを乗じて、キャビン上面を洗浄する際の上限電流閾値A1aHi,A2aHiと、下限電流閾値A1aLo,A2aLo及び箱体上面を洗浄する際の上限電流閾値A1bHi,A2bHiと、下限電流閾値A1bLo,A2bLoを算出し(5)、データ記憶部46に記憶して(6)設定動作が終了となる。   First, the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is rotated at the standby position HP (position where the brush bristles contact the pipe contact member 22) to detect the current value A1 (1), and a predetermined offset with respect to the detected current value A1. The values H and L are added to set an upper limit current threshold A1Hi (= A1 + H) and a lower limit current threshold A1Lo (= A1 + L) (2). Next, the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is moved to the idling position KP (a position where the brush bristles do not contact the pipe contact member 22), and the brush is rotated at that position to detect the current value A2 (3). Predetermined offset values H and L are added to the current value A2 to set an upper limit current threshold A2Hi (= A2 + H) and a lower limit current threshold A2Lo (= A2 + L) (4). Thereafter, the upper limit current thresholds A1aHi and A2aHi for cleaning the upper surface of the cabin are multiplied by the preset correction values a and b for each body part to be cleaned (here, the upper surface of the cabin and the upper surface of the box), and the lower limit current threshold value. The upper limit current thresholds A1bHi and A2bHi and the lower limit current thresholds A1bLo and A2bLo for cleaning A1aLo and A2aLo and the box upper surface are calculated (5), stored in the data storage unit 46 (6) and the setting operation is completed. .

ここで、上記処理(1)・(2)で待機位置HPでの上限電流閾値と下限電流閾値を設定したのには次の理由がある。
すなわち、昨今の洗車事情として、あらゆるタイプの車両が洗車できるように、洗車可能な車両サイズを拡張する傾向にあるが、洗車機の基本サイズは変えられないため、洗車可能範囲ぎりぎりの車両を洗浄する際には、ブラシ毛が待機位置HPの当接部材22に接触してしまうことがあった。ブラシ5が当接部材22に接触すると、電流値が上昇するので、空転位置KPでのブラシ電流値を基に設定された上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoでは待機位置HP付近での車体との接触状態を正確に判断することができないという問題が生じていた。そのため、空転位置KPのブラシ電流値と、待機位置HPのブラシ電流値を検出し、それぞれに上限電流閾値AHiと下限電流閾値ALoを設定してデータ記憶部46に記憶しているのである。
Here, the reason why the upper limit current threshold and the lower limit current threshold at the standby position HP are set in the processes (1) and (2) is as follows.
In other words, as a recent car wash situation, there is a tendency to expand the size of vehicles that can be washed so that all types of vehicles can be washed, but the basic size of a car wash machine cannot be changed. When doing so, the brush hair may come into contact with the contact member 22 at the standby position HP. When the brush 5 comes into contact with the contact member 22, the current value increases. Therefore, the upper limit current threshold value AHi and the lower limit current threshold value ALo set based on the brush current value at the idling position KP There has been a problem that it is impossible to accurately determine the contact state. Therefore, the brush current value at the idling position KP and the brush current value at the standby position HP are detected, and the upper limit current threshold AHi and the lower limit current threshold ALo are set and stored in the data storage unit 46, respectively.

図8はブラシ位置による電流変化特性を示したグラフである。
図に示すように、待機位置HPではブラシ5が当接部材22に接触して電流値が上がり、ブラシ5が当接部材22から離れる方向に移動すると比例的に電流値が下がっていき、ブラシ5が空転位置KPで空転電流値となる。このため、エンコーダで検出されるブラシ5の移動位置が待機位置付近の第1洗浄領域S1にあるときは、待機位置HPのブラシ電流値A1に基づく上限電流閾値・下限電流閾値でブラシの移動を制御し、ブラシの移動位置が空転位置付近の第2洗浄領域S2にあるときは、空転位置KPのブラシ電流値A2に基づく上限電流閾値・下限電流閾値でブラシの移動を制御するのである。
FIG. 8 is a graph showing current change characteristics depending on the brush position.
As shown in the drawing, at the standby position HP, the brush 5 comes into contact with the contact member 22 and the current value increases. When the brush 5 moves away from the contact member 22, the current value decreases proportionally. 5 is the idling current value at the idling position KP. For this reason, when the movement position of the brush 5 detected by the encoder is in the first cleaning region S1 near the standby position, the brush is moved at the upper limit current threshold value / lower limit current threshold value based on the brush current value A1 of the standby position HP. When the brush movement position is in the second cleaning region S2 near the idling position, the brush movement is controlled by the upper limit current threshold and the lower limit current threshold based on the brush current value A2 at the idling position KP.

また、洗浄する車体部位毎に上限電流閾値と下限電流閾値を補正値Cで補正するのには次の理由がある。
すなわち、トラック型車両におけるキャビン部と箱部とでは幅寸法や高さ寸法が異なるため、ブラシとの接触面積に違いが生じる。加えて、キャビン部と箱部とでは強度そのものに違いがあるため、ブラシの接触圧を同じにすることはできない。そのため、車体部位毎に設定した補正値a・bで上限電流閾値と下限電流閾値を補正してデータ記憶部46に記憶しているのである。
Further, there are the following reasons for correcting the upper limit current threshold and the lower limit current threshold with the correction value C for each body part to be cleaned.
That is, since the width dimension and the height dimension are different between the cabin part and the box part in the truck type vehicle, a difference occurs in the contact area with the brush. In addition, since there is a difference in strength between the cabin and the box, the contact pressure of the brush cannot be made the same. Therefore, the upper limit current threshold and the lower limit current threshold are corrected by the correction values a and b set for each vehicle body part and stored in the data storage unit 46.

図9は車体部位毎の電流変化特性を示したグラフである。
図に示すように、キャビン上面を洗浄する際には、ブラシとの接触面積が小さく、ブラシの接触距離に対する電流上昇量が小さくなる。一方、箱体上面を洗浄する際には、ブラシとの接触面積が大きく、ブラシの接触距離に対する電流上昇量が大きくなる。また、キャビン上面に比べて箱体上面は丈夫であるため、ブラシの接触距離を箱体上面ではブラシをより接触させることができる。これにより、キャビン上面に対してはブラシを接触距離P1から接触距離P2まで接触させたときの電流変化率を補正値aとし、箱体上面に対してはブラシを接触距離P1’から接触距離P2’まで接触させたときの電流変化率を補正値bとしてデータ記憶部46に記憶している。
FIG. 9 is a graph showing a current change characteristic for each body part.
As shown in the figure, when cleaning the cabin upper surface, the contact area with the brush is small, and the amount of current increase with respect to the contact distance of the brush is small. On the other hand, when cleaning the upper surface of the box body, the contact area with the brush is large, and the amount of current increase with respect to the contact distance of the brush is large. Further, since the upper surface of the box body is stronger than the upper surface of the cabin, the brush can be further brought into contact with the upper surface of the box body with respect to the contact distance of the brush. As a result, the current change rate when the brush is brought into contact with the upper surface of the cabin from the contact distance P1 to the contact distance P2 is set as the correction value a, and the brush is contacted with the contact distance P2 from the contact distance P1 ′ to the upper surface of the box. The rate of change in current when the contact is made to 'is stored in the data storage unit 46 as the correction value b.

こうして、ブラシ位置及び車体部位毎に上限閾値・下限閾値が設定され、図7に示すデータが与えられる。尚、図7では便宜上、全てのデータが異なる数値として表現しているが、同一の数値であっても構わない。   In this way, the upper and lower thresholds are set for each brush position and body part, and the data shown in FIG. 7 is given. In FIG. 7, for the sake of convenience, all the data are expressed as different numerical values, but they may be the same numerical values.

続いて、本発明の洗車機の洗車動作について、図10を用いて説明する。
本体フレーム1は、走行位置スイッチ7がドッグ3aに接触する待機位置で洗浄する車両の入車待ち状態にある。車両が乗り入れられて、本体フレーム1前面の電装ボックス8a,8b間に設けた光電スイッチ10・11のうち、前方の光電スイッチ10が遮光、後方の光電スイッチ11が透光している状態になると、車両の停止位置と判断して停止を促す。こうして、車両が正規の停止位置に停車されると、操作パネル9での洗車受付を許可し、各キーにて選択動作を行った後、洗車スタートキー34を入力すると洗車がスタートする。
Next, the car wash operation of the car wash machine of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The main body frame 1 is in a waiting state for entering a vehicle to be washed at a standby position where the travel position switch 7 contacts the dog 3a. When the vehicle enters the vehicle, the front photoelectric switch 10 of the photoelectric switches 10 and 11 provided between the electrical boxes 8a and 8b on the front surface of the main body frame 1 is shielded and the rear photoelectric switch 11 is transparent. Then, it is determined that the vehicle is at a stop position, and a stop is urged. In this way, when the vehicle is stopped at the regular stop position, the car wash acceptance at the operation panel 9 is permitted, the selection operation is performed with each key, and then the car wash starts when the car wash start key 34 is input.

洗車がスタートすると、上記した電流閾値の設定動作を実行した後、まず上面洗浄ブラシ5をキャビン上面位置まで下降させ、ブラシ5を正転させながら本体フレーム1を前進させる。ブラシモータ15の電流値で上面洗浄ブラシ5がトラックTのキャビン上面に接触したことを検出すると、本体フレーム1を前進させたまま、昇降モータ19を制御してキャビン上面のブラッシング洗浄を行う。このとき、昇降位置検出部40で検出される上面洗浄ブラシ5の昇降位置が当接部材22に接触する第1洗浄領域S1にあるときは、図7に示す『キャビン上面−第1洗浄領域P1』の下限電流閾値A1aLo〜上限電流閾値A1aHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御され、第2洗浄領域S2にあるときは、『キャビン上面−第2洗浄領域P2』の下限電流閾値A2aLo〜上限電流閾値A2aHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御されることになる。ここでは、キャビン上面において上面洗浄ブラシ5は当接部材22に接触しない第2洗浄領域S2にあるので、下限電流閾値A2aLo〜上限電流閾値A2aHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御される。   When the car wash starts, the above-described current threshold setting operation is performed, and then the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is first lowered to the cabin upper surface position, and the main body frame 1 is advanced while the brush 5 is rotated forward. When it is detected by the current value of the brush motor 15 that the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is in contact with the upper surface of the cabin of the track T, the lifting motor 19 is controlled to perform the brushing cleaning of the upper surface of the cabin while the main body frame 1 is moved forward. At this time, when the elevation position of the upper surface cleaning brush 5 detected by the elevation position detection unit 40 is in the first cleaning region S1 in contact with the contact member 22, "cabin upper surface-first cleaning region P1" shown in FIG. When the elevating motor 19 is controlled to be in the range of the lower limit current threshold value A1aLo to the upper limit current threshold value A1aHi and is in the second cleaning region S2, the lower limit current threshold value A2aLo of the “cabinet upper surface−second cleaning region P2” The elevating motor 19 is controlled to be in the range of the upper limit current threshold A2aHi. Here, since the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is in the second cleaning region S2 that does not contact the contact member 22 on the upper surface of the cabin, the lifting motor 19 is controlled to be in the range of the lower limit current threshold A2aLo to the upper limit current threshold A2aHi.

キャビン上面洗浄が終わると、引き続き昇降モータ19を制御して箱体上面のブラッシング洗浄を行う。このとき、昇降位置検出部40で検出される上面洗浄ブラシ5の昇降位置が当接部材22に接触する第1洗浄領域S1にあるときは、図7に示す『箱体上面−第1洗浄領域P1』の下限電流閾値A1bLo〜上限電流閾値A1bHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御され、第2洗浄領域S2にあるときは、『箱体上面−第2洗浄領域P2』の下限電流閾値A2bLo〜上限電流閾値A2bHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御されることになる。ここでは、箱体上面において上面洗浄ブラシ5は当接部材22に接触する第1洗浄領域S2にあるので、下限電流閾値A1bLo〜上限電流閾値A1bHiの範囲になるように昇降モータ19が制御される。   When the cabin top surface cleaning is completed, the lifting motor 19 is controlled to perform the brushing cleaning of the box top surface. At this time, when the elevation position of the upper surface cleaning brush 5 detected by the elevation position detection unit 40 is in the first cleaning region S1 in contact with the abutting member 22, "the box body upper surface-first cleaning region" shown in FIG. When the elevating motor 19 is controlled so as to be in the range of the lower limit current threshold value A1bLo to the upper limit current threshold value A1bHi of “P1” and is in the second cleaning region S2, the lower limit current threshold value of “box upper surface−second cleaning region P2” The elevating motor 19 is controlled to be in the range of A2bLo to the upper limit current threshold A2bHi. Here, since the upper surface cleaning brush 5 is in the first cleaning region S2 in contact with the contact member 22 on the upper surface of the box body, the lifting motor 19 is controlled to be in the range of the lower limit current threshold value A1bLo to the upper limit current threshold value A1bHi. .

本体フレーム1の前進により、上面洗浄ブラシ5が光電スイッチ11・12で検出するトラック後端に達したら、本体フレーム1を前進させたままブラシ5を上昇させ、ブラシ5が上限位置に達したら、本体フレーム1の走行を停止させて洗車終了となる。尚、ここで設定されるキャビンと箱体の境界位置は、一般的なトラック形状に基づいて予め記憶されており、各走行モータ4・昇降モータ19の駆動時間により位置制御されるものである。   When the main body frame 1 moves forward and the upper surface cleaning brush 5 reaches the rear end of the track detected by the photoelectric switches 11 and 12, the brush 5 is raised while the main body frame 1 is advanced, and when the brush 5 reaches the upper limit position, The traveling of the main body frame 1 is stopped and the car washing is finished. The boundary position between the cabin and the box set here is stored in advance based on a general track shape, and is position-controlled by the driving time of each traveling motor 4 and lifting motor 19.

本発明は以上のように構成されるもので、ブラシと車体との接触状態を判断するための基準値を、ブラシ位置や車体洗浄位置に応じて切り替えるようにしたので、ブラシの凍結防止措置として当接部材を設け、この当接部材に接触する状態で車体洗浄が行われる状況があっても適正なブラシ圧でブラシを車体に作用させることができるのである。このような構成は、トラックを洗浄する大型洗車機のみならず、軽自動車から大型車まで洗車可能にした一般的な門型洗車機にも有効に採用できる。また、説明は省略したが、側面洗浄ブラシやロッカーブラシでも同様に利用できるものである。   The present invention is configured as described above, and the reference value for determining the contact state between the brush and the vehicle body is switched according to the brush position and the vehicle body washing position. Even if there is a situation in which the vehicle body cleaning is performed in a state in which the contact member is provided and in contact with the contact member, the brush can be applied to the vehicle body with an appropriate brush pressure. Such a configuration can be effectively applied not only to a large car wash machine for washing a truck, but also to a general gate type car wash machine that can wash a light car to a large car. Although explanation is omitted, a side cleaning brush or a rocker brush can be used in the same manner.
