Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to the sector of installations for the washing of motor vehicles, and more particularly relates to an installation of washing of motor vehicles of the double gantry type, i.e. comprising at least two gantries that are mobile, the one independently of the other, along a rectilinear path, wherein both the installation and the washing cycles, which can be performed with this installation, have significant improvements and new performances in respect of the installations with double gantry, or also of another type with similar features and requirements, currently known.
  • the double gantry type i.e. comprising at least two gantries that are mobile, the one independently of the other, along a rectilinear path
  • washing installations of the double gantry type are known and becoming increasingly widespread.
  • these double gantry installations comprise typically two mobile gantries, which are provided for moving forwards and backwards in a longitudinal direction, during a washing cycle, relatively to a vehicle which instead remains at a standstill while it is washed, and whereon the various devices necessary for performing the washing of the vehicle are installed.
  • the two mobile gantries can be used simultaneously for brushing, by means of rotary brushes mounted on both, different areas of a same vehicle, thus considerably reducing the times of brushing and therefore increasing the yield of the washing installation.
  • Another potential disadvantage which is observed in the prior art is related to the fact that the detergent/emollient substance, used to prepare the vehicle for the subsequent phases of washing, is not always dispensed uniformly and optimally over the entire extent of the external surface of the vehicle, when instead it would be very useful for ensuring perfect washing.
  • washing installation proposed here appears very suitable and advantageous for performing maintenance washing, on a weekly basis, based totally on high-pressure water jets, as an alternative to conventional washing with brushes alone.
  • Fig. 4 is a side view, sectioned, on an enlarged scale, of a second mobile gantry of the washing installation of Figs. 1 and 2;
  • Fig. 7 is a diagram which shows, in succession, the various phases of a third cycle of washing of a vehicle performed with the washing installation of Figs. 1 and 2;

  • This main structure 21 constitutes the basic frame or skeleton which supports and houses the various devices, installed on the first gantry 20, which are used and intervene during a cycle of washing of the vehicle V.
  • this blade 22 is provided both with a plurality of nozzles 25 for the emission of jets of water at high pressure and a plurality of nozzles 31 for the dispensing of a detergent/emollient substance on the vehicle V, to be washed;
  • this element or horizontal blade 22 is connected at the two opposite ends to a drive and guide system, associated with the two uprights 21a and 21b, which is suitable for moving in a vertical direction, along corresponding guides 36, the horizontal blade 22, in order to adapt its vertical position to the profile and to the specific shape of the vehicle V to be washed, as described in greater detail herein below.
  • the first gantry 20 is also equipped with a plurality or system of sensors, which are connected to a central control unit suitable for controlling the general functioning of the washing installation 10 and are provided for performing several functions.
  • a first series of sensors of the optical type and made up of photoelectric cells, installed on the two vertical uprights 21 a and 21b, has the function of detecting the lateral profile of the vehicle V, while the gantry 20 moves forwards relatively to the same vehicle V.
  • these sensors are suitable for detecting data and information, relating to the profile, the shape and the effective position of the vehicle V to be washed, which, once processed by the central unit of control of the washing installation 10, allow the various devices which are installed on the mobile gantry 20 to control and adjust in real time to this profile, shape and effective position of the vehicle V, as described in greater detail herein below.
  • each of these two vertical arms 26 and 27 is associated with and is suitable for being driven by specific motor means, respectively 26a and 27a, for example made up of a motor reducer group, so as to slide along the upper guide 28, so that the two vertical arms 26 and 27 are suitable for translating, maintaining their vertical position, independently one of the other in relation to the structure 21 of the gantry 20.

  • Each of these vertical arms 26 and 27 is provided with a plurality of nozzles, denoted by 29, suitable for being fed with pressurised water by one or more pumps installed on board the first gantry 20 so as to emit outwards jets of compressed water 29a, represented with dotted and dashed line in Fig. 3.
  • nozzles 29 can be rigidly attached on the structure of the respective arms 26, 27, or be associated with drive means, of substantially known features and therefore not described in detail, which are suitable for driving a movement of oscillation of each nozzle 29, both along a horizontal plane and along a vertical plane.
  • Nozzles 31 such as those provided on the horizontal blade 20 and on the two vertical arms 26 and 27, for the dispensing of an emollient substance or a detergent, can be provided also on the uprights 21a and 21b of the first gantry 20.
  • the first gantry 20 integrates also a wheel washer device, of known features and including two circular rotary brushes 34, for the washing of the wheels of the vehicle V, each of which is installed in the lower zone of a respective upright 21a, 21b.
  • the first gantry 20 is provided with one or more nozzles 32 mounted on the two uprights 21 a and 21b in order to dispense an emulsion of water and wax or a similar substance, during the final phase of the cycle of washing of the vehicle V.

  • this cycle C the user carries out a washing of the vehicle V which is more effective than the washing performed with the cycle A, given that it integrates the action exerted by the jets of water at high pressure emitted by the nozzles 29 and 25, of the high pressure system 24, provided in the first gantry 20, with the action of brushing exerted by the brushes 42a, 42b, 43 installed on the second gantry 40.
