る。C. Effects of the Invention According to the above-described vehicle body top surface detection device in a car wash machine of the present invention, the ring-shaped detection body surrounding the moving body at intervals contacts the top surface of the vehicle and moves up and down and swings back and forth. Activate the switch by
This allows the approach of the top surface of the vehicle body to a moving object to be detected, so that by contacting the top surface of the vehicle body with one common ring-shaped detection body, not only flat parts of the top surface of the vehicle body but also slopes at the front and rear can be reliably detected. In addition, only one sensing body is needed, and only one system of mechanism is required to respond to the movement of the sensing body, so the overall structure of the device is simple, the number of parts is small, and the cost is low. This can greatly contribute to the reduction of costs and the improvement of workability in assembly and maintenance, and also reduces the frequency of failures.
