Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to washing but more particularly to a system and method of washing a car without the need for scrubbing.
  • Car wash are a great invention but one problem has to do with the brushes that can get snagged in various parts of a vehicle such as a sports rack, antenna, rear view mirrors, trims, etc. Given the huge variety or car makes and models plus all the possible optional accessories, it is easier to find a way to eliminate brushes or direct contact with the vehicle rather than finding brushes that will not get caught.
  • the problem with car wash offering a "no contact" washing feature is that they are not as efficient as a brush car wash.
  • Another invention describes a supporting frameworks wherein vehicles are parked and washed while they are stationary.
  • Chemical lines supply chemicals (such as detergents, waxes, etc.) to water lines, and the chemicals and water are mixed in downstream mixing modules.
  • the mixing modules are preferably provided in the form of vessels having enlarged flow areas, and may contain baffles or other turbulence generators therein.
  • the chemical/water mixtures leave the mixing modules in post-mix lines to which gas supply lines may be connected for the purpose of generating foam, which is then delivered in the wash bay from a downstream delivery system.
  • the downstream foam pressure has little or no effect on upstream mixing of chemicals and water, and thus foam having highly uniform properties is generated.
  • fluid is conducted along a conduit that is mounted to a support structure so as to permit selected displacements thereof along a longitudinal axis of the conduit and selected rotations thereof about the longitudinal axis.
  • the fluid conducted through the conduit can be conducted through at least one of a plurality of nozzles that are mounted to the conduit
  • the conduit is selectively reciprocated along the longitudinal axis by a first driving device
  • the conduit is rotated about the longitudinal axis by a second driving device
  • the fluid forced through the nozzle is directed toward the outside surface of an object to be washed
  • Still another invention describes a car wash method which includes the steps of positioning a vehicle adjacent a set of sensors , measuring a variety of parametric data relating to macroscopic debris and surface film formed on a surface of the vehicle, calculating the quantity of presoak components to be added to a presoak solution, blending the presoak solution, and applying the presoak solution to the vehicle Quantities of presoak enhancing agents are also calculated from the sensor readings along with the calculation of the number and type of wash cycles required for the vehicle
  • the method is implemented by customizable car wash blending system which incorporates a plurality of sensors in communication with a computer control system Computer control system communicates with a series of sub-systems in order to apply the presoak solution and wash the vehicle [007]
  • a car wash system that uses electromagnetic waves set between 100 nm et 2000 nm that break down the molecular structure of dirt particles SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • the present invention generally comprises a plurality of holding tanks, each said holding tanks being connected to a dosing pump, one dosing pump to each product to be mixed.
  • the dosing pumps measuring quantities for each product.
  • Water from a water line along with the products are then sent to a centrifuge pump for admixing into an admixture.
  • a pressure tank provides pressure controlled by a pressure relief valve the pressure then reduced by a reduction valve.
  • the admixture traveling through an admixture line. Pressurised air introduced to an air line and air from that air line and the admixture blended into a lather generator and then fed to a spray line exiting through a spraying gun.
  • the lather is a specially formulated solution that creates a thick lather that traps and drags down the particles that soil the vehicle. A quick water rinse made after having the vehicle soak in the thick lather is all that is needed to wash and rinse the vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 Schematic view of the process.
  • a no contact carwash system (10) has a plurality of holding tanks (12), each one connected to a dosing pump (14). These dosing pumps (14)
  • a pressure tank (20) provides a pressure of between 100-120- psi which is controlled by a pressure relief valve (30) which maintains a
  • a reduction valve (22) 20 pressure between 100-120 psi then reduced to about 80 psi by a reduction valve (22). From there, the admixture travels through an admixture line (32). In parallel, pressurised air is also introduced to an air line (24), reduced to about 75-85 psi by an air reduction valve (26). Air from the air line (24) and the admixture from the admixture line (32) are blended into a lather generator (34) and then fed to a spray line (36) exiting through a spraying gun (38).
  • Solenoid valves(40) located at various location provide control over the flow of the admixed solution. There are also a number of valves (44) to control the flow as well as pressure gauges (42) to monitor pressure throughout the no contact carwash system (10).
  • the lather thus created by the no contact carwash system (10) with the use of proprietary ingredients is very thick and as the lather slowly slides downward by the action of gravity, it breaks down the static on the vehicle so that dirt particles no longer cling to the vehicle. After a while, a rinse clears off the lather and the dirt with it. [OO19] As to a further discussion of the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de lavage de voiture sans contact ayant une pluralité de réservoirs de stockage qui sont raccordés à une pompe de dosage, une pour chaque produit devant être mélangé. Les pompes de dosage mesurent des quantités pour chaque produit. De l'eau provenant d'une tuyauterie d'eau ainsi que les produits sont ensuite envoyés à une pompe centrifuge pour les incorporer ensemble et créer un mélange. De l'air sous pression est introduit dans une tuyauterie d'air et l'air provenant de la tuyauterie d'air et le mélange sont mélangés dans un générateur de mousse puis introduits dans une tuyauterie de pulvérisation pour sortir par le biais d'un pistolet de pulvérisation.
