Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to easily restart car washing even if it is temporarily stopped as a window is found to have been kept open or the like by providing a means for arbitrarily stopping the car washing and a means for restarting the car washing retroactive to a prescribed point from the temporarily stopping point. CONSTITUTION:Even while car washing is being performed by pushing the start button of ten keys 62, if a key for temporarily stopping the car washing is pushed, a movable motor 70 is stopped by a control unit 76 through a drive unit 71 which relays electricity to the motor. And the situation of the car washing at that time is temporarily stored in a memory 73, and the overall operation of the car washing is stopped through th drive unit 71. Then when the start button is pushed again, data are read from the memory 73 so that the car washing is restarted to be continued. In this case, when a key for repeating input is being pushed, a car washing program is jumped to the beginning of the interrupted stage of the car washing, and the movable motor 70 is driven to move the body of the car washing machine concerned to the starting position of the stage, so that the car washing is restarted from the beginning of the interrupted stage. Thus, even after the car washing has been started, it can easily be restarted if it is temporarily stopped as a window is found to have been kept open or the like.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a J11 washing machine that is equipped with a brush, a water spray nozzle, etc. in a circular frame that runs across a vehicle, and performs washing.

Generally, this type of device has a means to emergency stop the washing operation in the event that the brush gets caught on the car body or operates abnormally during car washing, causing damage to the car body. Using this emergency stop means,
The series of car wash operations that are being executed will be interrupted, all the work that should be done after that will be canceled, and after the abnormality is cleared, the car wash will have to be restarted from the beginning. In some cases, it may cause trouble.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and is capable of stopping and restarting the car wash by providing a temporary stop means for arbitrarily stopping the car wash operation and a means for restarting the car wash operation from the point where the car wash operation is once stopped. If you forget to close the windows, fold the antenna, or check for dirt, etc., the operation will be temporarily stopped.
The aim is to allow users to resume washing their cars after they have corrected or inspected any problems they may have forgotten to prepare for the car wash.
