TITLE: Mobile laundry

for automotive

and others

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

THE OBJECT OF THE PRESENT INVENTION LAUNDRY UTILITY MODEL

MOBILE for automotive and others consists of a self-sufficient machine

designed with the basic elements of a conventional laundry for

automotive (electrical and electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, motor and

own water recycling) and waste collector mounted and installed in

an independent platform, such as a trailer mounted on 2 axles, which can be transported by any vehicle or mounted on a two-axle vehicle

with a platform capable of moving with total autonomy to any site allowing one or more operators to carry out the washing tasks,

beautification, hydraulic maintenance and total technical lubrication of a

vehicle or others in the place where it is located. ; in such a way that after carrying out the work no water, dirt or mud or other residues appear

no place outside the mobile laundry collector.

This MOBILE LAUNDRY performs the functions mentioned as follows: 1- The motor vehicle with the MOBILE LAUNDRY installed on its platform is located at the chosen work site

2- The electrical system is activated, Fig. 3 (Power Generator) to put into operation the equipment that requires the Electric Energy for its operation such as: The compressor (4.1), the pumps for the movement of water (5.4.1 and 5.4.2); high pressure pumps (9.1.) for washing; The electric motor (6.1.) With three-stroke swich that operates the system of expansion (unfolding) of the water and waste collection pool (Fig. 7), and expansion of the carcass (Fig. 6) and manual electrical equipment.

Once all the elements are arranged, the washing process of a vehicle or others begins when the water is taken from the tank 5.1.1. , by the washing machine 9.1. which is used by the operator to carry out his work, the water used in the washing is collected with all the impurities, dirt and sludge in the collecting pool 7.1 .. This gray water is sucked by the pump 5.4.1 for the tanks 5.2 .1, 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 of water processing and from there it is sucked again by the motor pump 5.4.2. to deposit it in the tank 5.1.2 from where it is taken to the tank 5.1.1 which is where the cycle begins The waste, sludge, etc. which is generated in the washing process, are collected from the collection pool 7.1. by the operators once the washing cycle is finished.

The additives deposited in the tanks from 5.3.1 to 5.3.7 are applied to the vehicle or others selectively with 10.6 pneumatic guns. which are powered by high pressure air supplied by the compressor 4.1 and which is directly to the additive tanks from 5.3.1 to 5.3.7 to mix the air with the additive using a 10.4 mixer. This operation is the same for each additive. Once the aforementioned work of washing, beautification and hydraulic maintenance and lubrication of the vehicle or others have been completed, and, after having removed water and waste from the collecting pool 7.1. , this is deactivated by stretching the retractable support 7.3. . At the moment when the pool is deactivated, the finished vehicle can be removed from the car park Fig. 6 and again another vehicle can be entered to start a new cycle. The control of the washing cycles and of the additives supplied to the vehicle or others, is carried out by the electronic numerical control system (Fig. 8) and which can be installed in the carcass, in the additive supply tanks (from 5.3 .1 to 5.3.7) or, in tank 5.1.1 which is where the wash cycle begins.

DESCRIPTION

The current work of washing, cleaning, beautification and maintenance of lubrication of a vehicle are carried out as follows: a) in fixed sites or establishments, built at high costs in the field and equipment, which for the most part do not comply with the urban and environmental regulations of the cities Generally the percentages of exploitation of labor and of the operative capacity installed in a labor jomada are low because the work to be done depends on the schedules in which the owners of the vehicles can take them to those sites (the weather, if it rains or is sunny) and the necessary time that the owner must wait for the work to be carried out in the vehicle, b) In homes, private and public parking lots, residential closed complexes and commercial and industrial office sectors manually without any environmental protection and producing high unnecessary consumption of water and waste (soil and mud) and work is not done in a conventional laundry. Suitable.

The object of the present utility model invention is to supply a machine

(mobile laundry) self-sufficient in movement (displacement, dynamic), energy, water (hydraulic), air (pneumatic), self-collection of waste in such a way that after carrying out the work no water, earth or mud or other waste residues appear nowhere, outside the mobile laundry.

This mobile laundry (Fig. 1) is designed and installed on a platform mounted on 2 axles (as a trailer) that can be transported by any vehicle or, mounted on a motor vehicle with an adjustable platform where the following elements can be arranged : Fig. 1

1-a) Site to locate chairs anchored to the platform where the operators sit comfortably with their corresponding equipment and appropriate tools to perform the work of washing, beautification, hydraulic maintenance and lubrication of a motor vehicle or others, on site where they are; such that after performing the work does not appear residues of water, earth, mud or others outside the mobile laundry.

1-b) Site to locate the power generation system with its corresponding supply and control facilities. (Fig. 3) consisting of the following:

Electric power plant or Electric power generator (3.1.), This energy is

Transported by electric conductors (3.2) to a transformer and electric storage batteries (3.3) and from there to a distribution board (3.4.) That contains the plugs, swiches and electrical outlets necessary to connect the machines that require it.

1-c) Site for storage tanks (Fig. 5) and which are as follows: Tank for completely clean unused water (5.1.1); tank for treated gray water (5.1.2) and recovered from the collecting pool (fig. 7) that is taken from the tank (5.2.3); Oil and grease trap tank (5.2.1) removed from the water that is sucked from the collecting pool (Fig. 7); Tank (5.2.2) to remove water taken from the tank 5.2.1. solids and impurities with a first water treatment. ; Tank 5.2.3 to make a second treatment of the water taken from the tank 5.2.2. . Tanks for additives, which as an example may be the following: 5.3.1. Engine oils ;; 532, Transmission oils; 5.3.3 Fats; 5.3.4. Graphites; 5.3.5. Oil them; 5.3.6. Silicones; 5.3.7. Scented water, or aromatic essences. These additives can be supplied to the vehicle or others mixed with air at pressure with the pneumatic dispensing guns. 10.6. The way of transporting water between the tanks is by direct action of the motor pumps, as follows: The motor pump 5.4.1. take the gray water from the collecting pool with impurities (eg grease, oils, soaps, etc.) from the collecting pool (fig. 7) and take it to the tank 5.2.1. by means of I to hose 5.5.1. From there, the water is subjected to the treatment process in tanks 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 through hose 5.5..2 and 5.5..3. by vacuum suction. The motor pump 5.4.2 takes the treated water from the tank 5.2.3 through the hose 5.5.4 and deposits it in the tank tank 5.1.2 -d) Site for anchoring and location of the collecting pool (Fig. 7) of the water used in the washing of the vehicle or others with all impurities from washing and consisting of the following:

A collection vessel 7.1., (Collection pool), where the water is deposited with all the impurities coming from the vehicle once washed, fig. 7. All the walls of the collecting pool are soft and waterproof 7.2. The structure that forms the container consists of a rigid tubular frame with thick walls and resistant to weight and friction; This structure is expandable by the telescopic system (it is a tube that moves within a larger diameter) 7.3 and the displacement occurs in the long and wide directions. ; and the already formed container is held to the floor with supports of the same expandable tubular system.

This expandable collection pool is installed in the back of the silver It forms (Fig. 1.7) and works as follows: when the mobile laundry is unused, this collecting pool is completely collected and attached to the platform and when the mobile laundry is ready to use it, the collecting pool expands completely forming the collecting container as seen in Fig. 1.7.

Each time a wash cycle is completed, the water must be suctioned out of the hose 5.5.1. and taken to the tank 5.2.1. where the treatment of the gray water used in the wash cycle begins, Once the water and impurities produced in the previous wash cycle have been removed, the collection pool, Fig. 7, is tensioned by shrinkage of the retractable support 7.3. in its back and thus be able to remove the vehicle that finishes washing and be able to enter another to perform a new wash cycle. -e) Pneumatic system location site (Fig. 4) consisting of the following elements: A compressor 4.1. anchored to the platform and that supplies the compressed air through the pipes or hoses High pressure 4.2 to the equipment that requires it; For example: to tanks from 5.3.1 to 5.3.7 (additives); the dispensing guns 10.6, the vacuum pumps for transporting water between the storage tanks and air supply valves for other uses that are required are the air lines 4.2. -f) Site for the electronic system of numerical control of washing cycles, Fig. 8; whose objective is to exercise the automatic numerical control of the work performed by the operators; This control can be installed in the carcass, in the storage tanks of additives and water, or, in the generator of the electrical system or in any other place of the mobile laundry, where you want to control a specific operation. ; and consisting of the following: A pressure sensor ON-OFF 8.1. , A signal rectifier 8.2., A counter-display (display) 8.3 .; a reset button 8.4. ; a source of energy 8.5. and a counting control 8.6 .. This electronic control operates as follows:

The on-off pressure sensor 8.1 determines the moment at which a vehicle enters the chamber, or, the moment at which an additive supply operation is initiated, or, the beginning of any operation that is to be controlled by operating a switch on -off,; . When this switch (8.1) is ON, the signal is improved by means of rectifier 8.2. which eliminates the spurious pulse generated by the sensor 8.1 .. When the pulse occurs the electronic counter 8.3 performs a

1 in 1 count ,, Several pulses may occur in the count. In counting control 8.6. the pulses can be adjusted so that for each x pulses a count is recorded in the counter display 8.3. and so give a

precise counting of the operation to be controlled in the mobile laundry. When you want to reset the system count it can be done by means of a reset switch (reset.), Which must be locked under control for its control. -g) Washing machines (Fig. 9) which may be the following:

A centrifugal pump, or high pressure pump; or, high pressure steam pumps (9.1.) that take water from the storage tank 5.1.1. by means of the hose 9.3. and sends it under pressure through hoses 9.2 to the object being washed. -h) The additive supply system (Fig. 10) consists of tanks 5.3.1 to 5.3.7 with their distribution hoses 10.5 and the additive application gun 10.6.

This application system operates as follows: High pressure air to supply the chosen additive (Example: 5.3.6, silicone), is taken from compressor 4.1. . This air is regulated with valve 10.2.1. and sends it to tank 10.3 of the chosen additive (5.3.6.).

The additive is sent to the mixer doser (10.4) where the chosen additive (5.3.6 or other) is mixed with high pressure air coming from the compressor 4.1. and sends it through the hose 10.5. to the pneumatic gun 10.6. with which the application of additives is made. -i) Self-expanding modular camera (Fig. 6):

This chamber (Fig. 6), like the collecting pool (Fig. 7), is anchored to the rear of the mobile laundry platform and at a suitable floor height so that an operator can clean under the vehicle.

This carcamo is automatically folded (picked up) once the work scheduled at a certain site is finished. The carcamo consists of the following: Modular ramps 6.3. assembled with excitable pins 6.5 .; which can be expanded and folded (collected), by means of 10.4 guayas. which are driven by a motor 6.1. which has at the ends of the central axis 6.7. pulleys 6.2. and is controlled by a three-stroke swich (forward, stop and reverse), specially assembled to perform that task.

The supports of the carcamo are the following: On the front it is supported by the platform where it is anchored at the necessary height and on the back it is supported with expandable and extendable tubes of the same system used in the supports of the collecting pool ( Fig. 7.) Environmental protection:
