Definitions
- the invention relates to a motor vehicle washing system with cleaning tools that can be moved past this in the longitudinal direction of a vehicle.
- Motor vehicle washing systems of this type are usually designed in such a way that each of the different cleaning tools, ie horizontal washing brushes, vertical washing brushes, wheel brushes, spraying systems, drying systems, etc., is assigned special frame frames, which are then moved along the carriageway, partly individually, partly together . It is customary to design these frame frames as portals which are movably supported on the floor. In motor vehicle washing systems of this type, a very special structure of these portals or frame frames is selected for each system, so that each motor vehicle washing system must be developed specifically for the respective place of use.
- a transport device which can be displaced parallel to its longitudinal direction is arranged in such a way that both transport devices can be moved synchronously along the vehicle, and that the two transport devices can be rotated at least one between the two about a horizontal axis of rotation running along their connecting line Transport devices arranged carrier is mounted and that cleaning tools are held on the carrier.
- the cleaning tools Due to the rotatability of the supports on which the cleaning tools are held, the cleaning tools are suspended between the two transport devices. When deflected from the vertical, this leads to a restoring force with which, for example, cleaning brushes held on the carriers are pressed against the motor vehicle surfaces to be cleaned. This automatically results in pressure forces for cleaning, but on the other hand this mounting also enables the cleaning tools to dodge, for example when the pressure forces become too great.
- wash brushes it is customary to change the position of the wash brushes, for example to lift them or to move them laterally, by means of the pressure forces and the braking torques exerted on the drive devices of the rotatable wash brushes.
- the transport devices are transport carriages that can be moved along a carriageway.
- the roadway is designed as a rail.
- the transport device has its own drive.
- these can be controlled digitally, for example, by a controller, for example with the aid of a stepping motor which ensures a precisely defined advance of the transport devices.
- the carrier is variable in length, for example the In a preferred embodiment, the carrier has two longitudinal sections that can be telescoped into one another. Such a configuration enables the carrier to be adapted to the circumstances in the simplest manner, and the same carrier can be used in this way in a wide or a narrow motor vehicle washing system.
- cleaning tool being understood in the broadest sense to mean all the devices used for cleaning motor vehicles, in particular horizontal and vertical rotating washing brushes , Wheel cleaning brushes, spray and spray bars, drying fans, stripping devices etc. It is either possible to attach these cleaning tools to always the same supports, so that for the different cleaning tools, the same basic unit consists of two transport devices and one they connect the carrier, or it is possible to use special carriers for the individual cleaning tools, so that these special carriers with the corresponding cleaning tools are each inserted between two identically designed transport devices.
- the transport devices themselves for the different cleaning tools can always be selected identically, that is, it is not necessary to adapt the transport devices to the special type of cleaning tools.
- the carrier has guides which are perpendicular to one another for a height-adjustable washing brush which can be rotated about a horizontal axis.
- the carrier can have mutually perpendicular holders at a distance from one another, on whose lower end rotatable wheel brushes are mounted. It is advantageous if the holders on the carrier are held so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis of rotation running parallel to the direction of displacement of the transport devices, so that the wheel brushes are pressed against the wheels to be cleaned by the restoring forces during lateral deflection from the vertical. This restoring force can be further supported in that, in a preferred embodiment, the holders are pivoted inwards from the vertical by spring means.
- At least one washing brush rotatable about a vertical axis of rotation is arranged on the carrier. It is advantageous if the washing brush or the washing brushes is or are held on a sliding device which can be moved along the carrier. The vertical washing brushes can thus be moved along the carrier so that they can be adapted to the width of the motor vehicle to be cleaned and can also clean the front and rear of the motor vehicle.
- a structural unit is used for each specific type of cleaning tool used from two transport devices and a carrier.
- different cleaning tools are held on a carrier in positions spaced apart from one another in the displacement direction.
- a horizontal washing brush and vertical washing brushes can be mounted on a carrier.
- the axis of rotation of the carrier is arranged on the two transport devices between the different cleaning tools, so that the carrier, which receives a plurality of cleaning tools, is pivoted overall about this axis lying in between.
- a motor vehicle washing system usually, in a motor vehicle washing system, several pairs of transport devices, each carrying one or more cleaning tools, are used. like to be provided in a row. These transport devices can be moved along the motor vehicle to be cleaned individually in different ways, so that the individual cleaning tools can pass the motor vehicle according to their duration of action.
- a major advantage of this arrangement is that the motor vehicle washing system has a plurality of carriers mounted on similar transport devices, each of which carries the desired cleaning tools. These transport devices and the carriers can be assembled in a modular manner depending on the requirements, and the individual cleaning tools can also be added to these carriers as desired, so that the entire motor vehicle washing system can be assembled in a modular manner from prefabricated individual parts. This simplifies storage, and it also makes it possible to quickly put together a suitable version of a motor vehicle washing system for each requirement without lengthy planning work.
- FIG. 1 a front view of a motor vehicle washing system with a carrier with a horizontal washing brush;
- FIG. 2 a side view of the motor vehicle washing system from FIG. 1;
- Figure 3 a view similar to Figure 1 with a
- Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1 with a carrier with wheel wash brushes;
- Figure 5 a view similar to Figure 1 with a carrier with horizontal and vertical washing brushes and
- FIG. 6 a side view of the motor vehicle washing system from FIG. 5.
- the motor vehicle washing systems shown in the drawing are used to clean a motor vehicle 1 which is parked on a roadway 2.
- a transport carriage 5 is arranged on each rail 4 and can be moved along the rails 4. This displaceability can take place by means of a cable drive, which is not shown in the drawing, or by means of a separate drive in the transport carriage 5, by means of which its wheels 6 are driven.
- the carrier 7 has the shape of a U-shaped portal 8 which is open at the bottom and has a crosspiece 9 and legs 10 which project vertically downwards and whose distance is greater than the width of a motor vehicle 1 to be cleaned.
- a height-adjustable washing brush 11 is arranged between the legs 10 in a manner known per se.
- the carrier 7 is designed as a crossbar 12, on which two carriages 13 provided with their own drive can be moved.
- a vertical washing brush 14 is suspended from each carriage 13 and is preferably pivotable about an axis of rotation running parallel to the carriageway 2, the two vertical washing brushes 14 being able to be applied to the motor vehicle 1 to be cleaned from opposite sides.
- the carrier 7 is also formed as a crossbar 12.
- Two vertical brackets 15, which carry rotary brushes 16 for wheel cleaning at their free ends, are suspended on this, pivotable about an axis of rotation running parallel to the carriageway 2.
- the vertical holders 15 are pivoted slightly inwards by a spring 17, which acts on the one hand on the crossbeam 12 and on the other hand on the holders 15, so that the plate brushes 16 on the wheels of a motor vehicle 1 during cleaning these are pressed.
- the crossbar 12 is constructed from two telescoping sections 18, 19, so that their length can be changed. It is thereby possible to adapt the cross-member 12 to different distances between the rails 4, as is indicated in FIG. 4 by the dash-dotted and the solid representation of the supports 3 and the rails 4 on the right side.
- the supports of all the exemplary embodiments shown can be designed to be length-adjustable in this way.
- each carrier 7 for example a horizontal washing brush 11, vertical washing brushes 14 or plate brushes 16 for wheel care.
- a carrier 7 such as this for example in the motor vehicle washing system of FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the carrier 7 there has two arms 20 running parallel to the roadway 2, at the front end of which there is a portal 8 and at the rear end of which a crossbar 12 is arranged, which in the rest of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 or according to FIG. 3 correspond.
- a horizontal washing brush 11 and two vertical washing brushes 14 are held on the same carrier, namely at a distance from one another in the direction of the carriageway 2.
- This support is mounted in the same way as the supports of the previously described exemplary embodiments between two transport carriages 5 so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis, the horizontal axis lying in the middle between the portal 8 with the horizontal washing brush 11 on the one hand and the crossbar 12 with the vertical wash brushes 14 on the other hand.
- a motor vehicle washing system of this type which is constructed in a modular manner, it is possible to replace cleaning tools at any time, for example when the washing system is to be set up for other purposes. It is then sufficient to insert a new carrier 7 with correspondingly modified cleaning tools into each pair of transport carriages 5, which in each case are pivotally mounted on the transport carriage 5.
