Definitions
- vehicle washers relate generally to vehicle washers and more particularly to an automatic machine that both washes and dries an automotive vehicle.
- vehicle washers include a pair of tracks and a gantry.
- the gantry rides along the tracks and includes a series of rotating brushes and water outlets.
- a vehicle may be driven between the two tracks and stopped.
- the brushes and water from the outlets may then wash the vehicle as the gantry rides along the tracks.
- water may be removed from the surface of the vehicle. Otherwise, the water may evaporate, leaving sedimentary deposits on the vehicle. Alternatively, if the vehicle is driven in cold weather, the water on the vehicle may freeze, preventing the doors, locks, and windows from operating.
- a separate air blower assembly may be erected, for example, near the ends of the tracks.
- the vehicle may be driven away from the tracks and through the separate blower assembly.
- drying blowers mounted on the gantry.
- Such devices typically include extensive baffling arrangements to direct air from the blower to all exterior surfaces of the the car.
- the present invention is an improved apparatus for both washing and drying an automotive vehicle.
- the apparatus includes a pair of tracks and a gantry that moves along the tracks.
- the apparatus further includes a water outlet, brush, blower, nozzle, and oscillator, all mounted on the gantry.
- the gantry includes two upwardly extending support structures and a cross-over beam between them.
- the water outlet wets the vehicle and the brush sweeps against the vehicle to wash it.
- the blower expells air to dry the vehicle.
- the nozzle is attached to the blower, however, and defines an orientation. Furthermore, the nozzle directs the air expelled by the blower in a direction generally parallel to the orientation.
- the oscillator is interconnected to each of the blowers.
- the oscillator changes the orientation of the nozzle.
- the drying air is directed to the vehicle from changing directions.
- an object of the present invention is an improved vehicle wash and dryer. Another object is a unitary vehicle wash and dryer that more efficiently drys a vehicle after it has been washed, automatically drying the vehicle for a proper amount of time. An additional object is a vehicle wash and dryer that may operate on a smaller floor space. Still another object is a vehicle wash and dryer that is smaller, less complex, and less expensive to manufacture.
- Yet another object of the present invention is a vehicle wash and dryer that substantially avoids the use of baffles or other obstructions in proximity to the vehicle being washed.
- An additional object is a vehicle wash and dryer that will accommodate a larger vehicle and that is less likely to damage itself or the vehicle while operating.
- Yet another object of the present invention is a vehicle wash and dryer that is less subject to mechanical breakdown.
- a further object is a vehicle wash and dryer that uses less electrical energy and that is thus less expensive to operate.

- FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a top plan view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 4 is a left side view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the superstructure of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
- the apparatus 10 includes a pair of tracks 12, gantry 14, washing assembly 16, controller 18, and drying assembly 20.
- the tracks 12 include two rails 22, 24 mounted to the floor 26.
- the rails 22, 24 are substantially parallel to each other, spaced approximately 10 feet apart.
- Each of the rails 22, 24 is about 25 feet long.
- the gantry 14 includes a roller assembly 28, superstructure 30, and two electric drive motors 32, 33. See FIGS. 1 and 5.
- the roller assembly 28 includes two pairs of rollers 34, 36, each of which rides over one of the rails 22, 24.
- the superstructure 30 rides on the roller assembly 28.
- the superstructure 30 includes two substantially upwardly extending support structures 38, 40 and a cross-over beam 42 therebetween.
- Each of the two support structures 38, 40 is positioned above one of the pairs of rollers 34, 36, which, in turn, is over one of the rails 22, 24.
- the structures 38, 40 lie about 10 feet apart and the cross-over beam 42 is positioned approximately seven feet above the floor 26.
- Each of the motors 32, 33 is affixed to one of the structures 38, 40.
- the motors 32, 33 each deliver up to 1/2 horsepower and power and superstructure 30 and roller assembly 28 along the rails 22, 24 of the track assembly 12.
- the motors 32, 33 are each interconnected to a gear reducer (not shown).
- the washing assembly 16 includes a series of seven brushes 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56 powered by five one-horsepower electric motors 58, 60, 62, 64, 66.
- the brushes 44-56 and motors 58-66 are interconnected to the superstructure 30 via retracting arms 72, 74, 76, 78, 80.
- a series of water outlets 84 are also mounted on the superstructure 30. See FIG. 2.
- the water outlets 84 are interconnected to a pressurized supply of water (not shown).
- the controller 18 sequences the activity of the gantry 14, washing assembly 16, and drying assembly 20.
- a vehicle (not shown) may be parked between the two rails 22, 24. Thereafter, the controller 18 may be activated, putting the apparatus 10 in a "wash mode” and causing the electric motors 58066 to spin the brushes 44-56 and the water outlets 84 to spray water.
- the motors 32, 33 drive the gantry 14 along the tracks 12 at a speed of approximately 8 inches per second.
- the gantry 14, brushes 44-56, and water outlets 84 consequently pass over the vehicle, washing it.
- the controller 18 senses when the gantry 14 has reached the end of the vehicle while in the wash mode. The controller 18 then reverses the direction of the gantry 14, so that is passes back over the vehicle. The controller 18 may then cause the gantry 14 to pass over the vehicle two or more times, in order to more thoroughly wash the vehicle or to rinse off any soap residue on the vehicle.
- the controller 18 Upon completing the wash mode, the controller 18 turns off the water outlets 84, electric motors 58-66, and brushes 44-54. Air is blown through the water outlets 84 to reduce the amount of water that they will drip onto the vehicle. In addition, the brush 56 is rotated to fling water out of it and thus reduce the amount of water that may drip from the brush 56 onto the vehicle. Thereafter, the drying assembly 20 is started, and the gantry 14 again passes two or more times over the vehicle.
- the motors 32, 33 drive the gantry 14 at a speed of about four inches per second, in order to fully dry the vehicle. Speeds of between 2 and 10 inches per second, however, will also allow the apparatus 10 to function adequately.
- the drying assembly 20 includes first and second blowers 88, 90, first and second nozzles 92, 94, and an oscillator 96 interconnected to the two nozzles 92, 94.
- the blower 88 includes a housing 98, flexible coupling 100, and an electric motor 102 driving a twelve-bladed fan 104.
- the fan 104 is approximately 2 feet in diameter and is enclossoed by the housing 98.
- the blower 88 When the motor 102 is running, the blower 88 will displace approximately 5,000 cubic feet of air per minute (cfm) at a velocity of approximately 10,000 feet per minute. Other blowers, with displacements of between 2500 and 9000 cfm will also work adequately with the present invention. Applicant has found, however, that the blower 88, with a displacement of 5000 cfm, is best for quickly drying the vehicle without using an inordinate amount of electrical power.
- the motor 102 and housing 98 are affixed to the cross-over beam 42, substantially above the structure 38.
- the housing 98 itself is substantially adjacent to both the structure 38 and cross-over beam 42.
- the drying assembly 20 is mounted on the same superstructure 30 as the washing assembly 16. This allows the vehicle wash and drying apparatus 10 to occupy the same space as a normal vehicle wash (without a dryer) would require).
- the air displaced by the blower 88 is directed through the flexible housing 100 and nozzle 92.
- the flexible housing 100 has an inside diameter of approximately 11 inches.
- the nozzle 92 includes first and second ends 118, 120 and a longitudinal axis 122 therebetween. This longitudinal axis 122 defines the orientation of the nozzle 92.
- the first end 118 is directly connected to the flexible coupling 100 and defines an inside diameter of approximately 103/4 inches.
- the second end 120 is less than two feet from both the support structure 38 and the cross-over beam 42 and has an inside diameter of about 101/4 inches. Because the nozzle 92 is "tucked in” close to the support structure 38 and cross-over beam 42, the area underneath the superstructure 30 for a vehicle is substantially unobstructed. Thus, it is much less likely that a vehicle will collide with the nozzle 92 or flexible coupling 100.
- the cross-over beam 42 defines a cross-over axis 124 that is substantially orthogonal to either of the two rails 22, 24.
- the cross-over axis 124 divides the apparatus 10 into entry and exit sections 126, 128.
- the longitudinal axis 122 of the nozzle 92 and a line 129 parallel to the cross-over axis 124 cooperatively define an angle 130 of approximately 8°.
- the orientation (longitudinal axis 122) of the nozzle 92 points toward the exit section 128 of the apparatus 10, rather than pointing directly across toward the second nozzle 94.
- the first nozzle 92 left is oriented toward the exit 126 of the apparatus 10 at an angle of 8°.
- the second nozzle 94 includes first and second ends 132, 134 which have the same proportions as the first and second ends 118, 120 of the first nozzle 92.
- the first and second ends 132, 134 of the second nozzle 94 also define a longitudinal axis 136 or orientation for the second nozzle 94.
- the longitudinal axis 136 and a line 138 parallel to the cross-over axis 124 accordingly form an angle 139 of 8°.
- the second nozzle 94 is oriented toward the entrance section 126 of the apparatus 10 at an angle of approximately 8°.
- each of the blowers 88, 90 is more efficient in drying the vehicle.
- the blowers 88, 90 do not each blow water toward the middle of the vehicle, where it will stay. Rather, each blower, unimpeded by the other, may blow water off the vehicle.
- applicant has set the nozzles 92, 94 at angles of 8° from the cross-over axis 124. Other angles, between 2° and 20°, will also be fairly effective with the present invention.
- the oscillator 96 of the preferred embodiment is mounted on the superstructure 30 and is interconnected to the two nozzles 92, 94.
- the oscillator 96 includes a 1/3 horsepower electric motor 142 and linkage 144.
- the motor 142 and linkage 144 move each of the nozzles 92, 94 up and down. Since the arc followed by the two nozzles 92, 94 is substantially similar, only the movement of the first nozzle 92 is described for illustrative purposes.
- the oscillator 96 moves the nozzle 92 between lower and upper positions 150, 152.
- the longitudinal axis 122 of the nozzle 92 defines an angle 153 of 25° with a substantially vertical axis 146.
- the longitudinal axis 122 of the nozzle 92 defines an angle 155 of 60° with the vertical axis 146.
- the nozzle 92 moves through an arc (between the upper and lower positions 150, 152) of 35°.
- the arc travelled by the longitudinal axis 122 need not precisely vary from 25° to 60°. An arc between 0° and 90° or between 40° and 60°, for example, would also work adequately to dry most vehicles.
- the oscillator 96 moves the nozzle 92 from the lower position 150 to the upper position 152, and back to the lower position 150 in a period of about 3 seconds. A period of oscillation of between 1 and 9 seconds will also work adequately with the present invention.
- the nozzles 92, 94 both do not reach the upper position or lower position at the same time.
- the nozzles 92, 94 are synchronized to oscillate approximately 180° out of phase with each other.
- the two blowers 88, 90 are able to dry the top of the vehicle quite well.
- blowers 88, 90 offer substantial advantages.
- the blowers are not aimed directly at each other, but, rather, oscillator over the sides and top of the vehicle. Consequently, the apparatus may fully dry a vehicle with only two blowers.
- the apparatus is relatively compact, less prone to mechanical breakdown, and uses less electrical energy for operation.
