Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an arch structure of a car wash machine, which is disposed along an inner side surface of a main body of a car wash machine and is used for supplying a liquid such as wax. It is a thing.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5, a conventional gate-shaped arch 30 is provided with a downward facing upper nozzle 31 in a ceiling tube portion 30A, and left and right side tube portions 30B.
Inward side nozzles 32 are installed in the
A lower nozzle 33 directed downward inward is provided at the lower end of B, and a supply pipe 34 is connected to the ceiling tube portion 30A.

According to this conventional type, in the car washing process for the automobile, the wax liquid 35 is sprayed from the nozzles 31, 32, 33 in the arch 30 toward the automobile, and then the drying process is started.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention According to the above conventional method, when the injection of the wax liquid 35 is stopped, the wax liquid 35 remaining in the arch 30 flows out from the nozzles 31, 32, 33 and is removed. However, some of them are dropped from the nozzles 31, 32, 33 during the drying process. In particular, since the ceiling tube portion 30A is horizontal, the wax liquid 35 remains for a long time, and the wax liquid 35 drips from the upper nozzle 31 onto the upper surface of the dried vehicle, and good drying cannot be performed.

An object of the present invention is to provide an arch structure of a car washing machine that can prevent wax liquid or the like from dripping from an upper nozzle during a drying process.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the arch structure of a car wash machine according to the present invention is an arch for supplying a liquid, which is arranged along the inner side surface of the gate type car wash machine body. , A side nozzle is installed in the side tube part of the gate-shaped arch, and an inverted U from the top of the sky tube part.
The letter-shaped branch pipe portion is provided, and the upper nozzle is provided at the lower end of the branch pipe portion.

Effect According to the configuration of the present invention, a desired waxing or the like can be performed by supplying a wax liquid or the like to the gate-shaped arch and injecting it from each nozzle toward the automobile. Then, when the supply of the wax liquid or the like is stopped, the wax liquid or the like remaining in the ceiling tube or the side tube will flow to the side nozzles. As for the remaining portion of the branch pipe portion, the portion on the base side with respect to the top portion flows to the ceiling tube portion, and the portion on the tip end side flows out from the upper nozzle. At this time, since the residual amount is small on the tip side and the path is downward, the outflow is performed quickly and almost completely.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The gate-shaped car washer body 1 has rails 3 through a plurality of wheels 2.
It is placed on the upper side and can be reciprocated on a fixed route by the operation of a traveling drive device (not shown). The car wash body 1 includes a first wash water arch 4 and a first wax arch 5.
And a second wash water arch 6, a second wax arch 7,
A detergent arch 8 is arranged in this order, and a top nozzle 9 and a side nozzle 10 for drying are provided at the location of the first washing water arch 4, and a top brush 11, a side brush 12, and a rocker brush 13 are arranged. is doing. The first
The wax arch 5 is an example of an arch for supplying liquid, which is arranged along the inner side surface of the gate-shaped car wash machine body 1, and has a gate shape formed by the ceiling tube portion 5A and the left and right side tube portions 5B. And is arranged along the inner portal surface so that most of them do not protrude inward from the inner portal surface. The side pipe part
5B is provided with a side nozzle 14 facing inward,
A lower nozzle 15 is provided at the lower end and faces inward and downward. In addition, the inverted U-shaped branch pipe portion 16 is provided from a plurality of locations above the skylight portion 5A.
And an upper nozzle 17 is provided at the lower end of each of these branch pipe portions 16. Reference numeral 18 indicates a supply pipe connected to the skylight portion 5A, and 19 indicates an automobile.

In the above-described embodiment, the automobile 18 is stopped and the car wash machine body 1 is reciprocated, while the brushes 11, 12, and 13 are moved into and out of contact with each other, the wash water is supplied through the wash water arches 4 and 6, and the wax is applied. A desired car wash can be performed by appropriately operating the supply of wax through the arches 5 and 7 and the supply of detergent through the cleaning arch 8. At that time, after the wax liquid 20 is supplied in the final outward process, air is blown from both nozzles 14 and 16 toward the car 18 in the returning process, whereby the wax liquid 20
Etc. are dried. As described above, when the wax liquid 20 is supplied through the first wax arch 7, the branch pipe portion 15 is filled with the wax liquid 20 as shown in FIG. Then, when the supply of the wax liquid 20 is stopped, the wax liquid 20 in the first wax arch 5 moves from the ceiling tube portion 5A to the side tube portion.
5B, it will flow out through the side nozzle 14, but at this time, since the side nozzle 14 is located outside the side of the automobile 18, the outflow and drip are outside the side of the automobile 18. And will not drip on the car 18. The remaining portion of the branch pipe portion 15 is the wax liquid on the base side 15b with respect to the top portion 15a.
20 flows to the ceiling 5A, and the wax liquid 20 on the tip side 15c flows out from the upper nozzle 17. At that time, since the residual amount is small on the tip side 15c and the path is downward, the outflow is performed quickly and with almost no residual.

In the above-described embodiment, the car wash machine in which the car wash machine body 1 travels with respect to the stopped car 18 is shown, but this may be a car wash machine in which the car 18 is moved while moving. Further, as the arch for supplying the liquid, the type in which the branch pipe portion 16 is provided on the first wax arch 5 which is most likely to drip during the drying is shown, but this is the second wax arch 5, the washing arch 8, the washing water arch 4, The configuration provided in 6 or the like may be used.

Effect of the Invention According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when the supply of the liquid (such as wax liquid) to the gate-shaped arch is stopped, the liquid remaining in the ceiling tube or the side tube portion of the vehicle is passed through the side nozzles to prevent It can be discharged laterally outward. Then, the liquid remaining in the branch pipe portion flows to the ceiling tube portion on the base side with respect to the top portion thereof, and can be discharged through the side nozzles in the same manner as described above. Minutes can be drained from the upper nozzle. At that time, the residual amount is small on the tip side and the residual path is downward, so that the outflow can be performed quickly and almost completely, which allows the liquid to drip from the upper nozzle during the drying process. Can be prevented, and good drying can always be performed.
