Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to the improvement of an automatic machine (1) (comprehensive maintenance equipment). By using robots in combination, various maintenance tasks can be carried out efficiently.

Conventional technology and its problems The circular car wash machines conventionally used at gas stations etc. only clean the outer periphery of the car, but cannot wash or dry the lower part. There are large-scale car maintenance machines that use lower car wash robots to dry after washing, but they are expensive, complex to maintain, and too difficult to handle, making them beyond the reach of small businesses.

One step for solving the problems The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional art, and to make it easy to handle, increase efficiency, and provide the product at low cost. It is equipped with

(1) A disc-shaped turntable with a lift such as a circular material lift for raising and lowering maintenance vehicles on the top surface, a cylindrical curtain hanging from above to partition the upper outer periphery of the turntable, and a cylindrical curtain that automatically reciprocates. The car is equipped with a lower car washing and drying robot that moves and controls a swing type nozzle for washing and a blower for drying.

(2) Two sets consisting of the turntable and a cylindrical curtain are arranged side by side with an interval between them, and one set of the lower car washing/drying robot is placed in the center of these, and the lower car washing/drying robot is placed on both turntables. I made it so that it could advance and retreat.

(i) The turntable is supported by the base 1 at its center, moves on a skirt portion below the outer periphery or on support rollers arranged on the circumference, and is driven by a drive device provided on a part of the turntable. Rotating by running on a tire or foundation mounted on a horizontal axis.

(2) An anti-slip steel plate having a large number of small holes projecting on the outer edge is installed on the surface of the turntable in place of the grating for drainage.

(1) A slip ring was provided at the center of the top of the circular workpiece lift as a method of attention, and power was supplied to operate the lift and drive the turntable rotation through the slip ring.

The applicant had previously filed Japanese Patent Application No. 59-103754 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6
No. 0-248463 for "Automobile maintenance unit device", and recently filed patent applications for "Automobile cleaning/drying and maintenance combined system" and "Automobile cleaning robot device" dated April 2811, 1988. The present invention has been completed by integrating these inventions, taking advantage of their advantages and compensating for their disadvantages.

According to the present invention, maintenance work can be performed by rotating the car using a circular work lift or a turntable, which eliminates the need to arrange a large number of injection nozzles as in the case of a fixed type. In addition to simplifying the auxiliary equipment, the efficiency of each work procedure has been greatly improved.Introducing a lower car washing and drying robot that has a double dynamic reciprocating swing-type nozzle for washing and a bottom roller for drying. Since the lower part of the 4IO heavy duty is automatically washed and dried, it can be used for vehicle inspection maintenance, periodic inspection maintenance,
It is possible to efficiently carry out all types of maintenance such as quillaf maintenance or aesthetic maintenance.

(1)! Turn on all the breakers inside, press the exercise preparation button on the side, and check that the interlock preparation lamp lights up.

■ About starting the table.

In either manual mode or single-step continuous movement mode, pressing the forward or reverse rotation button will rotate the motor, and pressing the stop button will cause the motor to stop. Groove A is placed in a straight line so that robot 5 can normally work on it.

(Press the +lE turn button and stop after one rotation.) Chiful original position (robot can run) ■ How to start the pump Press the start button of each pump to start the pump. Also, once you press the start button, the timer starts and stops after a few minutes, even if you do not press the stop button.

(2) There are three working modes for robots.

In order for the robot to move, the table must be in its original position. (See Figure 10.) Note that if you want the robot to move toward the L table, the R table is not necessarily the first one.
It does not have to be a straight line as shown in Figure 0.

The same is true vice versa.

There is no need to do this, and the auxiliary equipment is simplified, and the efficiency is greatly improved with 1 worker + qrz.

■ We have introduced a lower car washing/drying robot that automatically advances and retreats and has a swing-type nozzle for cleaning and a blower for drying.The lower part of the car can be washed and dried automatically, making maintenance work easier.

(2) The tire is driven by a drive device provided in a part of the turntable, and the turntable is rotated by running on the foundation, which simplifies the mechanism and requires less power.

(4) An anti-slip steel plate is placed on the turntable surface to prevent slips and falls.

■ Power is supplied via a slip link installed at the top center of the circular material lift, saving costs on trolley tacts.
