Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] This invention relates to a type of car wash machine that can not only wash the car body of a car but also dry and wax the car body.

[Prior art and its problems]

Generally, in this type of car wash machine, when applying wax, a wax liquid is diluted several times and sprayed onto the car body. In this case, although a large amount of diluted wax can be sprayed all over the place and an even coating can be achieved, since it is a diluted liquid, the density of the wax that actually acts on the car body is thin, making it difficult to form a sufficient wax film. It was difficult, and there was a problem with the sustainability of the wax effect.

On the other hand, it is effective if the wax liquid is sprayed in a state close to the undiluted solution, but if conventional spraying methods are used, it will not only spread widely to areas other than the car body, but also waste the wax liquid. , there was a risk of staining cleaning brushes, etc.

[Means for solving problems]

This idea focused on the blower nozzle that blows air onto the car body to dry it, and installed a nozzle for dispersing wax at a position facing the blower nozzle's outlet.
When washing a car with waxing, the waxing process is performed by blowing out air from the blower nozzle and at the same time spraying wax toward the car body from the wax spraying nozzle, which requires special additional equipment. To provide an apparatus that can perform highly effective and economical waxing without causing any damage.

〔Example〕

Examples thereof will be described below based on the drawings.

1 is formed into a gate shape and straddles the car with rail 2,
The main body of the car wash machine reciprocates on 2', and is equipped with a known brush device, water nozzle, etc., although not particularly shown. 3, 3' are blowers installed in the car wash main body 1, 4, 5, 5' are blower nozzles connected to the blowers 3, 3' via a duct 6, and the blower nozzles blow air toward the car body. It dries the car body by scattering water that adheres to it during cleaning. The blower nozzle 4 is supported by the top of the main body 1 via a link arm 7, and is moved up and down by an air cylinder 8 so as to trace the top surface of the vehicle body. 9 is a wax liquid tank provided on one side of the main body 1; 10 is a pump for distributing wax; 11 is a nozzle for distributing wax provided at a position facing the outlet inside the blower nozzles 4, 5, 5'; The wax liquid is sucked up through the liquid suction hose 12, and the wax liquid is force-fed through the liquid supply hose 13 to the wax spraying nozzle 11 for spraying. Reference numeral 14 denotes an operation board provided on the front surface of the main body 1, which is equipped with an identification card and coin insertion slot, various operation buttons, etc., and is used for car washing operations.

Therefore, the user enters the car between the rails 2 and 2', inserts an identification card or a coin into the operation board 14 to make the car wash ready, and when the user wishes to wash the car with wax, presses the corresponding operation button. good.

When a wax car wash is started, the main body 1 moves back and forth on the rails 2 and 2' to first wash the car body.
During the subsequent second return trip, air is blown out from the blower nozzles 4, 5, 5' for drying, and during the second return trip, air is blown out from the blower nozzles 4, 5, 5' and at the same time the pump 10 is driven to dry the wax liquid. Perform spraying.

Figure 2 shows the appearance of the main parts during waxing. The blower nozzle 4 descends and maintains a predetermined distance from the vehicle body surface, spraying wax liquid while blowing air onto the vehicle body. Wax spraying nozzle 1
1 has a roughly elliptical cross-sectional shape with the long axis at the top and bottom, and is installed approximately in the center of the blower nozzle 4, and the front and back of the sprayed wax forms an air curtain to direct the wax liquid toward areas other than the vehicle body. The wax liquid adhering to the car body is prevented from scattering and is spread out against the car body surface by blowing air from the blower nozzle.

In addition, in the above-mentioned waxing car wash, a drying process is performed before waxing to prevent the sprayed wax from being diluted by water remaining on the car body, but since waxing is performed while blowing air from the blower nozzle, , residual water can be removed to some extent before the wax acts on the car body, and waxing can be carried out without major problems without any particular drying process.

[Effect of idea]

This device is constructed as described above, and the waxing process is performed by blowing out air from the blower nozzle and at the same time spraying wax toward the car body from the wax spraying nozzle, so the sprayed wax is surrounded by the air from the blower nozzle. The wax will not be scattered outside, allowing the wax to be used without wasting it, and will not stain the surrounding area.

In addition, since the wax is sprayed while the water adhering to the car body after cleaning is scattered by the air from the blower nozzle, there is no inconvenience such as the wax being diluted by this adhering water, and furthermore, the wax that has been sprayed and adhering to the car body is The wax is spread out by the air from the blower nozzle, allowing the wax to be spread throughout the vehicle body, making it possible for the wax to act effectively on the vehicle body.

Furthermore, since the blower nozzle used for drying the car body after washing is used, the highly effective waxing described above can be achieved with an inexpensive and simple structure without the need for special additional equipment.
