Vehicle washing machine

Abstract

The invention is to provide a vehicle washing machine capable of improving the drying performances of the side surfaces of vehicles while independent of the types of the vehicles and the parts of the vehicles. The vehicle washing machine comprises a lifting unit (16) used for lifting an upper-surface drying nozzle (6) along the upper surface of a vehicle; a left-right swing unit (32) used for swing a lateral-surface upper drying nozzle (7) along the width direction of the lateral surface of the vehicle; and a vehicle washing control panel (35) used for controlling the lifting unit (16) and the left-right swing unit (32) according to the shapes of the upper surface and the lateral surface of the vehicle detected by an upper-surface shape detecting unit (10) and a lateral-surface shape detecting unit (11) respectively. A plurality of reference points for the shape of the vehicle are detected according to the shape of the upper surface of the vehicle, and then each of all the vehicle parts defined by the reference points are provided with a swing angle for the swing unit respectively according to the shapes of the upper surface and the lateral surface of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the swing unit (32) is controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a car washer provided with a function of improving the drying performance of an automobile body. Background technique [0002] A conventional car washer is equipped with a drying device that includes an upper nozzle (nozzle) that mainly dries the upper surface of the vehicle body and a side nozzle that mainly dries the side surface of the vehicle body, and moves the upper nozzle up and down according to the shape of the upper surface of the vehicle body. , so that the side nozzles switch according to the side shape of the vehicle body to improve drying efficiency. In these drying nozzles, the side nozzles are arranged on the lower side of the vehicle body so as not to interfere with each other's blowing air. Therefore, when drying tall cars such as trucks, the blowing air from the side nozzles is difficult to act on the upper part of the vehicle body side. The problem of easy residual water droplets. [0003] In this ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this auxiliary drying nozzle is fixed and the air blowing direction is always constant, so it cannot fully cope with cars with inclined sides or narrow cars.

In addition, since the parking position of the car depends on the skill of the driver, there are also cases where the car is parked in a state of being biased or inclined, and it is difficult to achieve a uniform drying effect.
