Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily and safely retreat after car wash and to finish car wash in a short period of time by returning a device main body to a stand-by position under a condition that an automobile retreats when the device main body reaches the front of its travelling range and car wash is finished. SOLUTION: When speed car washing by one outward travelling of a main body is finished, a control part 20 demands retreat of a washed automobile by putting on a retreat inductive lamp 12, when the automobile retreats in response to it and a car body detector 17 turns to non-detection, it makes the device main body inward to the rear with specified delay time and retreats it to a car wash starting position to be given by a detection switch 14. Additionally, when the automobile is still in a car wash space following this retreat and the car body detector 17 turns to detection again, the control part 20 instantly stops travelling of the main body, makes it stand by until it turns to non- detection and prevents collision of the main body and the automobile.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gate-type car washing apparatus for washing a vehicle body by reciprocating across a car, and more particularly to a drive-through type in which a car entering from the front passes through the car after washing and exits. The present invention relates to a car washing device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventionally known drive-through type car washing apparatus will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 denotes a known car washing apparatus main body, which reciprocates on rails 2 and 2 and
It operates to brush-clean and dry the car parked between the two. As shown in the figure, the apparatus main body 1 usually has rails 2.
The car wash is started from this position, travels back and forth a predetermined number of times, returns to the same position, and ends the car wash. The user gets into the vehicle A at a predetermined position between the rails 2 as shown in the figure, and starts the car wash after performing operations such as inputting a fee and selecting and inputting the contents of the car wash on an operation panel provided on the front surface of the apparatus main body 1. Then, when the car is washed, the vehicle passes through the inside of the main body 1 and is used to exit.

[0003] In such a conventional apparatus, it is necessary to make the vehicle pass from the front to the rear of the apparatus main body 1 when leaving the vehicle, and must drive through a narrow apparatus. In addition, it is necessary to change the direction of the vehicle after going straight until the vehicle exits the apparatus main body 1 and head toward the exit, and it is necessary to secure a sufficient passing space behind the apparatus main body 1 for leaving.

[0004] In response to such a problem, the applicant has disclosed in
No. 219243, the apparatus main body is moved forward and backward to a predetermined position at the end of car washing.

A forward washing step or a forward washing step was added after a car wash course such as a round trip, and the impression that the washing time was longer by the final forward step than in a normal washing operation could not be denied.

[0005] A car washing apparatus proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 49-110159 is known as an invention for shortening the car washing time. In the present invention, brushing washing and drying are performed at a time while the apparatus main body is traveling forward, and the car wash is completed only by making the apparatus main body go once. However, if this device is used in a layout that allows the vehicle to move forward and enter and retreat and exit as in the case of a normal device, the vehicle must pass through the inside of the main unit with the back after the end of car washing. Not only is it extremely troublesome to leave, but it is necessary to retract the apparatus body in preparation for the next car wash, and there is a concern about the risk of a collision accident with the leaving car. Moreover, in this conventional invention, even if only the car wash operation can be completed in one forward trip, it is necessary to return to the original position in order to perform the next car wash, and taking into account the time required for this return, As a result, a time that is not much different from that of a conventional car wash course in which the apparatus main body makes one round trip and a car wash is required before the next car wash.

Normally, the main body 1 of the car washing device is provided with a detection switch 14.
At the car wash start position given by When the car wash user inputs a car wash fee in the operation box 13 and selects a desired car wash menu, the control unit 20 confirms that there is no preceding vehicle and none of the vehicle body detectors 16 and 17 are in a state of being detected. The “advance” lamp of the approach guide light 11 is turned on to enter the entrance possible state. Here, the user is on rail 2
-Enter the car between the two and enter the vehicle until the "stop" lamp of the approach guide light 11 is turned on by detecting the front end of the vehicle with the vehicle body detector 16 on the front side. When the vehicle is stopped at the predetermined car wash position in this manner, various car wash operations including the operations in FIGS. 6 and 7 are started according to the car wash menu selected in the operation box 13. Note that the user is waiting in the car while the car is being washed.

(1) In FIG. 6, when car washing is started,
Is forward stroke of the apparatus main body 1 forward, the detergent water s ₁ from the washing water or sprinkler nozzles 19 ₂ from the water spray nozzle 19 ₁ emits first rocker brush 4 is lowered by driving the top brush 3
・ Driving 4 and pushing it to the lower part of the body side,
Start brushing cleaning of the upper and lower sides of the vehicle. When the side brushes 5.5 are driven to close toward the center of the main body 1 and the front end of the vehicle touches the closed side brushes 5.5, this is detected by known detecting means and the apparatus main body 1 is detected. Stop once, and then spray water
9 ₃ with the washing water release side brush 5.5 performs vehicle body front brushing cleaning open. When the side brushes 5.5 are opened and cleaning of the front of the vehicle body is finished, the forward movement of the apparatus main body 1 is resumed to continue the brushing cleaning of the upper surface and the lower side of the vehicle body, and the side brushes 5.5 are pressed against the side of the vehicle body. Perform side brushing cleaning.

In accordance with the running of the apparatus body 1, the control unit 20
The length of the vehicle body is detected by counting the traveling distance until the vehicle body detector 16 turns to non-detection by a known distance detecting means, and each brush and the water spray nozzle are displaced from the rear end of the vehicle body based on the detected vehicle length data. The timing is estimated and the operation is sequentially stopped. Further, behind the side brushes 5, the shielding screen 8 is driven to block the space above the vehicle body with a sheet so that water scattered during brushing washing does not reach the drying processing section having a blower nozzle, as described above. Is controlled based on vehicle length data.

The control unit 20 drives a blower (not shown) at the timing when the apparatus main body 1 resumes running, and blows air from the blower nozzles 6, 7, 7 to remove washing water attached to the vehicle body by brushing washing. Perform a drying process. Here, the upper surface blower nozzle 6 moves up and down along the upper surface of the vehicle body, and operates so that the side blower nozzles 7 protrude and retract along the side surface of the vehicle body. The driving of the blower nozzle is also controlled based on the vehicle length data, and stops operating when the blower nozzle reaches the rear end position of the vehicle body. The control unit 20 counts the distance from the vehicle body detector 17 at the rear of the main body after the vehicle body is detected, and when the count value does not exceed the vehicle length data by the detector 16, that is, the rear end of the vehicle body is separated from the main body 1. Before the detector 17 turns to non-detection, the travel of the apparatus main body 1 is stopped.

In this manner, when the speed car washing in which the main body 1 travels only once is completed, the control unit 20 turns on the exit guide light 12 to urge the exit of the washed car, and in response, the automobile exits. When the vehicle body detector 17 changes to non-detection, the apparatus main body 1 is moved backward after a predetermined delay time, and is retracted to the car wash start position given by the detection switch 14. If the vehicle is still in the car wash space due to the retreat and the vehicle body detector 17 starts to detect again, the main body 1 stops running immediately and waits until it turns to non-detection. To prevent collisions. Further, if the next car wash is received in the operation box 13 during the period from the start of the car washing operation to the end of the car washing and the return of the main body 1 to the start position, the main body 1 can be operated even before the main body 1 returns to the start position. If you go a predetermined distance without interruption,
The "forward" lamp of the entrance guide light 11 is turned on to urge entry of the next car, so that it is possible to quickly shift to the next car wash.

The car wash in FIG. 6 is executed as described above. Brushing and drying are performed as the vehicle goes forward and backward. It can be completed only by going forward.

(2) In FIG. 7, Step a: When the car wash is started, the apparatus main body 1 is moved forward, and the brush devices 3, 4, 4, 5.5 and 5 and the watering nozzle 19 are moved in the same manner as in FIG. It actuates the _{1-19 3} performs brushing cleaning automobile. Since the drying process is not performed here, the main body 1 stops running at a position where the side brushes 5 reach the rear end of the vehicle body and are closed, and the process proceeds to the next step b.

Step b: The apparatus main body 1 is moved backward, and the brush devices 3, 4, 4, 5, and 5 are arranged in the reverse order of the step a.
5 and watering nozzle 19 _{1-19 3} Repeated brushing cleaning is activated. That is, the apparatus main body to go-around the body 1 while releasing by foaming detergent water s ₂ from the water spray nozzle 19 ₃ driven with closed side brushes 5, 5, the side brush are in contact with the rear end of the vehicle body Stop running of 1 temporarily,
Here, brushing of the rear end of the vehicle body is performed while opening the side brushes 5. When the side brushes 5.5 are opened and the rear end is cleaned, the main body 1 returns again, and the brushes 3, 4, 5,.
5 drives perform brushing cleaning of the vehicle body each face and rinsing the detergent and dirt remaining by releasing washing water from the water spray nozzle 19 ₁ of the vehicle body after brushing. The operation here also uses the vehicle length data detected based on the vehicle body detector 16 in step a, and the brush devices 3, 4, 4, 5.5, and the watering nozzle 19 ₁ reaching the vehicle body front end position.
Sequentially stop the operation from -19 _3. When the main body 1 returns to the car washing start position in this way, the traveling is stopped, and the next step c
Move to.

Step c: The device main body 1 is moved forward again, and the brush devices 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5
Sprinkler nozzles 19 ₁ to 19 ₃ and Burowanozuru 6, 7, 7
To work. However, it is released from the nozzle _{19. 2} differs from FIG. 5 only in that a wax water dissolved or dispersed in a wax wash water instead of detergent water. After washing away first release was the body of the detergent and dirt the washing water from the nozzle 19 ₁ to the vehicle body, it rubbed against the body in the brushes while releasing wax water from the nozzle 19 _2, and finally the nozzle 19
Wash off excess wax from the car body with washing water from ₃ . The waxed vehicle body is continuously blown with air from the blower nozzles 6, 7, 7 in the drying section, and stops operating when the blower nozzle reaches the rear end position of the vehicle body.

In all of the above steps a to c, the shielding screen 8 is driven so that water scattered during the brushing washing is prevented from reaching the drying section having the blower nozzle. The reason why the shielding screen 8 is operated even in the steps a and b in which the drying process is not performed is to prevent water droplets from adhering to the blower nozzle or the like and dropping the adhering water onto the vehicle body during the drying process. Similarly to the operation of FIG. 6, the running of the apparatus main body 1 is stopped before the detector 17 turns to non-detection, the exit guide light 12 prompts the exit of the washed car, and when the detector 17 turns to non-detection, After a delay time, the apparatus main body 1 is moved backward and retreated to the car wash start position. At this time, if there is a car wash reception for the next car,
In the same manner as described above, the entry of the next car is encouraged while the main body 1 is going back, and the speed is increased so that the car can be continuously washed.

The car wash of FIG. 7 is executed as described above, and is thoroughly brushed and washed with one reciprocation of the main body 1, and is subjected to waxing and drying during the subsequent forward and backward movements.
Was carried out by running two round trips (one round trip brushing wash, second waxing,
The drying process at the second return) can be completed in one and a half round trip. In steps a and b, the apparatus main body 1 travels between the standby position and the position where the side brushes 5.5 reach the rear end of the vehicle body. In step c, the blower nozzles 7, 7 move from the standby position of the main body 1 to the rear of the vehicle body. The vehicle travels to a position reaching the end, so that the required time t _{1 of} each of the steps a and b is shorter than the required time t ₂ of the step c. In other words, in the steps a and b without using a blower, the brush is made to travel the minimum necessary distance to cover the vehicle body, thereby saving energy and shortening the car washing time.

In the car washing shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the apparatus main body 1 is retracted to the car washing start position after the car washing is completed, the apparatus main body 1 is run at a high speed because no processing such as brushing or drying is performed, so that the next car washing is quickly performed. It is desirable to be able to do so. However, if the speed is set too high, there is a possibility that the detection of the vehicle body by the detector 17 may not come in time and the vehicle may come into contact with a leaving car. For this purpose, an object detector 25 for irradiating an exploration signal such as an ultrasonic wave to the rear of the apparatus main body 1 is provided on the rear surface of the apparatus main body 1 as shown in FIG. If the object detector 26 or the object detector 25 or 26 detects that the exiting vehicle is on the exit route, the main unit 1 is moved backward at a relatively low speed, and the vehicle is not on the exit route. If it is detected, it may be controlled so as to retreat at high speed.

As described above, in this embodiment, the rail 2
・ Because the car wash starts behind the travel range of the main body 1 given in 2 and ends at the front, the car A enters from the front of the travel range as shown in FIG. 2 and exits after the car wash to the rear of the travel range. In this case, the vehicle A can easily exit without having to pass through the inside of the main body 1, and does not require a large space for entrance and exit before and after the traveling range as shown in FIG. Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various embodiments are conceivable. For example, in addition to the car washing operation shown in FIGS.
A half-way car wash operation is also possible.

[0033]

The present invention is constructed as described above. According to the first aspect of the present invention, brushing cleaning and drying processing can be performed along with traffic, and if only ordinary car washing is performed, only one cycle of cleaning is performed. Car wash can be completed in the forward direction and can be washed in a very short time.In addition, since the main body of the device goes forward in the traveling range and the car wash is completed, the car that has been washed does not need to pass through the main body of the device as it is. Exit safely and easily.

In the present invention, it is necessary to return to the original position for the next car wash since the car goes forward and the washing is completed. However, according to the second aspect of the present invention, it is necessary to confirm that the apparatus main body is at the standby position and that an automobile is entering. Start car washing, confirm that the car has left after car washing, and return the device body to the standby position to resolve these problems, always start car washing at the correct position and safely return to the original position Can be done.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, if brushing is performed in one or more reciprocating runs and drying is performed in the last reciprocation, the conventional body may be reciprocated twice or three times including waxing. Car washing that has been performed reciprocally can be completed in one and a half reciprocations or two and a half reciprocations, and the car washing time can be significantly reduced. In addition, as in the above-described embodiment, if the traveling distance is reduced by traveling only within the range of action of the brush during the reciprocating traveling for brushing, the car washing can be completed in a shorter time.

Further, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, by controlling the start and stop timings of the car wash, it is possible to detect the entrance and the exit by the apparatus main body itself, and to detect the detecting device in the traveling range and its vicinity. There is no need to stand up, and it can be installed with the minimum required construction, which is the same as a conventional car washer.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, after the car has been washed, the exit of the car is urged to exit, and then the apparatus main body is caused to return to the traveling state. The next car can be entered and returned to the next car wash in a short period of time before returning to the city, and extremely efficient car wash business becomes possible.
