Problems solved by technology

[0007] In conventional vehicle washing installations there is the problem that the determination of the position of the wheels of the vehicle is susceptible to errors, especially when the vehicle is placed lower or when vehicle parts hang down
An incorrect position determination of the wheels can cause: Impairment of the handling of the vehicle, especially the cleanliness
In addition, paint damage can form in this case

Embodiment Construction

[0038] refer to figure 1 and 2 First, an embodiment of the vehicle washing facility 1 according to the invention will be described.

[0039] The vehicle washing installation 1 is a mast washing installation in which the masts 2 , 3 are moved relative to a stationary vehicle 10 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 10 . However, the invention can be used in the same manner in a vehicle washing installation designed as a car washing line, in which the vehicles are moved in the longitudinal direction relative to a stationary treatment unit. Furthermore, the vehicle washing facility 1 of this embodiment is a double-gantry facility having two independently movable portals 2 and 3 . However, the invention can also be implemented as a portal washing installation with only one portal.

[0040] The front mast 2 includes a sensor device 6 , a displacement detection device 7 and a wheel processing device 8 .

[0041] In the exemplary embodiment described here, the sensor devic...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle washing system (1), in which a vehicle (10) is scanned in a longitudinal direction by means of a sensor device (6), wherein measurement data are captured, position data for the positions (B, C) of wheels (11, 9) of the vehicle (10) are determined based on an evaluation of the measurement data. The determined position data of the positions (B, C) of the wheels (11, 9) of the vehicle (10) are subjected to a confidence check, wherein a confidence measure is determined. If the determined confidence measure is greater than or equal to a confidence threshold value, a treatment of the wheels (11, 9) of the vehicle (10) is carried out in a first mode at the positions (B, C) associated with the position data, and, if the determined confidence measure is smaller than the confidence threshold value, a treatment of the wheels (11, 9) of the vehicle (10) is not carried out, or is carried out in a second mode at the positions (B, C) associated with the position data. The invention further relates to a vehicle washing system (1), in particular for carrying out said method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a vehicle washing installation for treating wheels of vehicles. In this method, the vehicle is scanned in the longitudinal direction by means of the sensor system, measurement data are recorded, position data for the position of the wheels of the vehicle are ascertained from the evaluation of the measurement data. The invention also relates to a vehicle washing installation having: a processing unit for the wheels of the vehicle; sensor means for scanning the vehicle in longitudinal direction, wherein measurement data can be detected while scanning; and position determination means, which determine The device is coupled to the sensor device and the position of the wheels of the vehicle can be ascertained from the evaluation of the measurement data by means of the position determination device. Background technique [0002] In vehicle washing installations which are used for the treatment, in particular c...
