Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cleaning body of a cleaning device for cleaning a surface of a vehicle body by bringing a cleaning body fixed to a rotating body into contact with the surface of the vehicle body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A car wash device is well known in the art without mentioning the name of a document, and is generally constructed as follows. That is, the main component is a gate-shaped traveling frame that reciprocates on a traveling rail laid on the floor, and top brushes, rotating brushes such as side brushes, water,
Various nozzles for spraying detergent, wax, etc., a blower device for drying, a control device, etc. are installed. Therefore, it is possible to use these devices to automatically clean the surface of a car, but in particular, rotate the rotating brush while contacting the surface of the car body to remove dirt, sand, etc. adhering to the surface of the car body. Can be washed off. By the way, the rotary brush provided and implemented in the above-mentioned car wash device is constituted by brush bristles as is well known. The bristles are generally made of a resin such as polyethylene.
Such a synthetic resin rotary brush has various advantages and has been put to practical use for many years. For example, the amount of adsorbed water is small, the weight does not increase more than necessary, and there is no fear of freezing. Furthermore, you can adjust the tensile strength by changing the material or size of the brush bristles, so that when the brush bristles are caught on the protrusions of the vehicle during car wash, only the caught bristles are cut off, There are advantages such as that the protrusions of the vehicle can be protected and that an unreasonable force can be applied to the rotating brush device itself.

However, there is a problem in the rotary brush device composed of brush bristles. For example, although the brush bristles are formed of a soft resin such as polyethylene, centrifugal force is generated by a rotating force during car washing, and the tips of the brush bristles are struck on the surface of the vehicle body. Since it is washed by the action, dirt or sand is rubbed against the painted surface of the vehicle, which may damage the painted surface.
Originally, the purpose of vehicle cleaning is to remove dirt adhering to the vehicle surface, but with the removal operation, there is a problem of "car wash damage". The main substances that stain the vehicle surface are mud, sand,
Carbon and the like, and some of these substances include substances that are harder than the painted surface of the vehicle. This means that cleaning by the physical impact of the brush bristles will scratch the painted surface of the vehicle. Even when brushing while releasing mud, sand, etc. with water, detergent, etc., the loosened mud, sand, etc. are physically struck by the brush bristles and agitated on the vehicle's painted surface, so it is similar to the painted surface There is still a risk of scratching the.

Therefore, rotary brushes composed of woven or non-woven fabrics have also been proposed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication Nos. 61-177958 and 61-181527. Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-177958 discloses a car-washing brush having a fiber sheet provided with a reinforcing core. Therefore, the surface of the vehicle body can be washed by rotating the brush for car washing. Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-181527 shows a car wash brush in which a plurality of flexible brush units are attached around an axis of rotation through an attachment tool. This car wash brush can also drive the rotating shaft to wash the car.

[0005]

The above-mentioned car wash brush also has
Since the material that comes into contact with the vehicle surface during car washing is made of flexible fibers, it can be expected that the coated surface is protected to some extent during car washing compared to synthetic resin brush bristles. Further, since the reinforcing core is put in or attached via the attachment, a certain degree of rigidity can be obtained, and the car wash brush may not cling to the rotating body during the car wash. However, since the car wash brush described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-177958 has a reinforcing core in the fiber sheet, there is a structural problem in that the reinforcing core is inserted in the fiber sheet. Further, the car wash brush described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-181527 is attached to a rotating body through an attachment, but this attachment has a drawback that the structure of the attachment is complicated and the cost is high. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and has a simple structure, but does not damage a painted surface of a vehicle, that is, a vehicle cleaning device, that is, a certain degree of rigidity and cleaning. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning body for a vehicle cleaning device that solves the problem of scratching the painted surface by rubbing mud and sand strongly during operation.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a cleaning body of a cleaning device for cleaning a surface of a vehicle body by bringing a cleaning body fixed to a rotating body into contact with the surface of the vehicle body. The cleaning body is made of a flexible material such as a soft cloth or a non-woven fabric, and the side fixed to the rotating body is coated with a synthetic resin for a predetermined length. According to the second aspect of the invention, the side fixed to the rotating body is impregnated with the synthetic resin for a predetermined length.

[0007]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
A flexible cleaning body is attached around the rotating body to form a rotating brush. Then, for example, it is mounted on a gate-shaped traveling frame, and while the tip of the flexible cleaning body is in contact with the surface of the vehicle while being slightly bent, the rotating body is driven to clean the surface of the vehicle in the same manner as a conventional cleaning device. To wash. At this time, as the gate-shaped traveling frame, it is possible to use a traveling frame in which a blower device for drying, a control device, and the like are mounted as needed together with various nozzles for spraying water, detergent, wax, and the like.

[0008]

EXAMPLES The cleaning body of the present invention can be implemented in various forms as will be described below, but in any case, it is made of a flexible material. Flexible materials include, for example, fibrous cloth, non-woven fabric,

Further, the central portion or the fixed portion side portion 5 having a predetermined length centering on these holes 4 and 4,
It is treated with synthetic resins such as melamine resin, acrylic resin, and fluororesin. This synthetic resin treatment can be carried out in various forms. For example, on both surfaces of the fixed part side part 5,
The synthetic resin can also be coated. It is desirable that the coating at this time be made thicker in the vicinity of the mounting holes 4 and 4 and gradually made thinner toward the tip portions 2 and 2. This is because the change in rigidity becomes smooth. It is also possible to apply the coating treatment to only one surface of the fixed portion side portion 5. Further, instead of the coating, the resin described above may be impregnated. Also at this time, the impregnation amount can be changed in the length direction.

In this embodiment, a vinyl chloride resin pipe, that is, a vinyl chloride pipe 10 is applied to the rotary body for mounting the cleaning body 1, and the diameter thereof is selected to be about 100 mm.
