Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of car wash facility technology, and in particular to an integrated car wash system with a trestle platform. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and in order to cope with the modernization of cities, construction projects in urban areas are becoming more and more common. Due to the characteristics of such projects, which are adjacent to municipal roads or other buildings nearby, the surrounding sites are relatively complex. As a result, the construction land area for such projects is smaller than that for general projects, and the space available for temporary facilities around the foundation pit is limited, which puts a greater test on the construction unit's ability to plan the site layout.

[0003] During construction, dump trucks are often used to transport the mud and debris generated during construction. Inevitably, these trucks accumulate a large amount of mud and debris on their bodies while loading. To prevent this mud and debris from falling onto city roads and affecting the environment and cityscape, dump trucks are usually washed and cleaned before leaving the construction site.

[0004] Currently, when washing dump trucks leaving the construction site, workers typically use hand hoses to wash them, which is time-consuming and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To improve the efficiency of cleaning up dump trucks, this application provides an integrated truck washing system using a trestle platform.

[0006] The integrated car wash system using a trestle platform provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An integrated car wash system with a trestle platform includes support beams, a trestle platform, a water collection tank, and a spraying device. Multiple support beams are pre-built in the foundation. The trestle platform is cast on the multiple support beams and is located below ground level. One end of the trestle platform has a concrete slope, and the other end has an inclined step surface. The concrete slope, the inclined step surface, the trestle platform, and the foundation form a downward-recessed car wash trough. A washing platform is provided on the trestle platform and at the top of the inclined step surface. The water collection tank is located on one side of the trestle platform and is connected to the car wash trough. A drainage ditch connected to the car wash trough is opened on the washing platform. The spraying device is installed on the trestle platform and is used to wash dump trucks located in the car wash trough and on the washing platform.

[0008] Optionally, a water-blocking plate is provided on the concrete slope, and a driving component is provided on the concrete slope to drive the water-blocking plate to move in the vertical direction.

[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a support column, a tension spring, and a limiting component. The support column is provided on both sides of the concrete slope. The support column has a groove for the water baffle to move. The tension spring is provided on the support column and located in the groove. The tension spring is connected to the water baffle and makes the water baffle always have an upward tendency. The limiting component is provided on the support column and is used to limit and fix the water baffle.

[0010] Optionally, the limiting component includes a roller and a cylinder. Limiting grooves are formed on both sides of the support column and on both sides of the slide groove. The bottom wall of the limiting groove is inclined. The lower end of the bottom wall of the limiting groove is close to the side wall of the slide groove, and the upper end of the bottom wall of the limiting groove is far from the side wall of the slide groove. The roller is rolled between the two sides of the limiting groove. The cylinder is provided on the support column and on both sides of the limiting groove. The piston rods of the two cylinders are rotatably connected to both ends of the roller. The cylinder drives the roller to roll along the bottom wall of the limiting groove.

[0011] Optionally, water-blocking support plates are provided on both sides of the trestle, and the spraying device is provided on both sides of the water-blocking support plates located on both sides of the car wash trough and the washing platform. Enclosures are provided on both sides of the water-blocking support plates located on both sides of the car wash trough and the washing platform.

[0012] Optionally, an infrared sensing system is provided on both sides of the water-blocking support plate and on both sides of the car wash trough and the rinsing platform, and the infrared sensing system is connected to the spray device.

[0013] Optionally, a multi-stage sedimentation tank is provided on one side of the trestle plate and connected to the water collection tank, and the multi-stage sedimentation tank is connected to the spraying device.

[0014] Optionally, the enclosure includes an installation rod, a fixing rod, a waterproof tarpaulin, and a winding component.

[0015] Optionally, the winding component includes a coil spring, with its two ends connected to a rotating shaft and a mounting rod, respectively. The coil spring ensures that the rotating shaft always has a tendency to rotate and wind up the waterproof fabric.

[0016] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0017] 1. When washing and cleaning dump trucks, the dump trucks drive from the concrete ramp onto the trestle. When the dump trucks are in the washing trough, the spray device performs a preliminary wash on the surface of the dump trucks. After the preliminary wash, the dump trucks continue to drive along the inclined steps to the washing platform, where they are washed again by the spray device. The wastewater generated from washing the dump trucks flows into the washing trough and into the collection pool for collection. Thus, when washing the surface of the dump trucks, there is no need for workers to hold water hoses to wash the surface of the trucks. They only need to drive the dump trucks onto the trestle, which improves the cleaning efficiency of dump trucks.

[0018] 2. A multi-stage sedimentation tank is installed on one side of the trestle deck, connected to the water collection pool. The multi-stage sedimentation tank is connected to the spraying device, so that the rinsing water after multi-stage sedimentation can be reused, saving water resources.

[0019] 3. When washing the dump truck, rotate the fixing rod and the mounting rod to the vertical position, pull the waterproof cloth out from the mounting rod and fix it to the fixing rod. The coil spring keeps the waterproof cloth in a taut state. The waterproof cloth blocks the water splashed during the washing of the dump truck, preventing water from splashing outside the trestle and causing waste and affecting the foundation.

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] This application discloses an integrated car wash system using a trestle platform 2, as shown in the embodiments below. Figure 1 and Figure 2 An integrated car wash system with a trestle platform 2 includes a support beam 1, a trestle platform 2, a water collection tank 3, and a spray device 4. The support beam 1 is a reinforced concrete structure, with multiple support beams pre-cast at equal intervals within the foundation. The trestle platform 2 is a reinforced concrete slab, cast on top of the multiple support beams 1, and located below ground level, forming a recessed space between the trestle platform 2 and the surrounding foundation. One end of the trestle platform 2 has a concrete slope 21, and the other end has an inclined stepped surface 22. The concrete slope 21, the inclined stepped surface 22, the trestle platform 2, and the foundation form a downwardly recessed car wash trough 23. A washing platform 5 is installed on the trestle platform 2, at the top of the inclined stepped surface 22. The water collection tank 3 is located on one side of the trestle platform 2 and is connected to the car wash trough 23. A drainage trough 51 connected to the car wash trough 23 is opened on the washing platform 5, and a spray device 4 is set on the trestle 2 and used to wash the dump trucks located on the car wash trough 23 and the washing platform 5.

[0030] When washing and cleaning dump trucks, the dump trucks drive from the concrete ramp 21 to the trestle 2. When the dump trucks are in the washing trough 23, the spray device 4 performs a preliminary wash on the surface of the dump trucks. After the preliminary wash, the dump trucks continue to drive along the inclined step surface 22 to the washing platform 5. On the washing platform 5, the dump trucks are washed again by the spray device 4. The wastewater generated from washing the dump trucks flows into the washing trough 23 and into the collection pool 3 for collection. Thus, when washing the surface of the dump trucks, there is no need for workers to hold water hoses to wash the surface of the truck body. The dump trucks can simply be driven onto the trestle 2, which improves the cleaning efficiency of the dump trucks.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A water-blocking plate 24 is installed at the highest point of the concrete slope 21. The water-blocking plate 24 is made of angle steel, with its surface perpendicular to the ground and its length perpendicular to the length of the trestle plate 2. A drive assembly for moving the water-blocking plate 24 vertically is also installed on the concrete slope 21. The drive assembly includes support columns 61, tension springs 62, and limiting components. Support columns 61 are installed on both sides of the highest point of the concrete slope 21, and grooves 611 are opened on opposite sides of the two support columns 61. The two ends of the water-blocking plate 24 are slidably installed in the two support columns 61 through the grooves 611. The tension springs 62 are connected to the support columns 61 and located in the grooves 611. The lower end of the tension springs 62 is fixedly connected to the water-blocking plate 24, and the tension springs 62 ensure that the water-blocking plate 24 always has a tendency to move upward along the support columns 61. The limiting component is installed on the support column 61 and connected to the baffle plate 24, and the limiting component is used to limit and fix the baffle plate 24.

[0032] When a dump truck moves onto the trestle platform 2, it passes the baffle 24. Under the weight of the truck, the baffle 24 is pressed into the concrete ramp 21. After the truck passes, the baffle 24 moves upward under the action of the tension spring 62. The baffle 24 is used to block the washing water, preventing the water used to wash the dump truck from flowing out of the trestle platform 2 through the concrete ramp 21. At the same time, the limiting component is used to fix the baffle 24, thereby diverting and blocking the dump trucks. When multiple dump trucks line up to enter the trestle platform 2 for washing, the baffle 24 ensures that the trucks enter the trestle platform 2 in an orderly manner for washing.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 The limiting components include a roller 63 and a cylinder 64. Limiting grooves 612 are formed on both sides of the support column 61 and on both sides of the slide groove 611. The bottom wall of the limiting groove 612 is inclined, and the lower end of the bottom wall of the limiting groove 612 is closer to the side wall of the slide groove 611, while the upper end of the bottom wall of the limiting groove 612 is farther from the side wall of the slide groove 611; that is, the lower end of the limiting groove 612 is shallow, and the upper end is deep. The roller 63 is horizontally rolled between the two sides of the limiting groove 612. Cylinder 64 is installed inside support column 61, and cylinder 64 is provided on both sides of limiting groove 612. The piston rods of the two cylinders 64 are respectively opposite to the two ends of roller shaft 63, and the piston rods of cylinder 64 are parallel to the bottom wall of limiting groove 612 and extend toward roller shaft 63. The end of piston rod of cylinder 64 is rotatably connected to the end shaft of roller shaft 63. Cylinder 64 drives roller shaft 63 to roll along the bottom wall of limiting groove 612. During the rolling process, one side of roller shaft 63 always remains in contact with the bottom wall of limiting groove 612.

[0034] When the cylinder 64 is activated, the piston rod of the cylinder 64 extends or retracts, causing the roller 63 to roll along the bottom wall of the limiting groove 612. When the roller 63 moves to contact the baffle plate 24, the gap between the two rollers 63 tends to decrease, thereby clamping the baffle plate 24 onto the support column 61, thus fixing the baffle plate 24.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 Water-blocking support plates 25 are installed on both sides of the trestle 2. These plates block water from both sides of the trestle 2. Spraying devices 4 are installed on the water-blocking support plates 25, located on both sides of the washing trough 23 and the washing platform 5. The spraying devices 4 are a common combination of a water pump, water pipe, and pressurized nozzles. The water pump is connected to an external water source, the water pipe is installed inside the water-blocking support plates 25, and multiple pressurized nozzles are connected to the water pipe. When a dump truck moves onto the washing trough 23 or the washing platform 5, its surface is washed by the spraying devices 4. Infrared sensing systems 26 are also installed on the water-blocking support plates 25, located on both sides of the washing trough 23 and the washing platform 5. These systems are connected to the spraying devices 4 and detect passing dump trucks. When a dump truck stops on the washing trough 23 or the washing platform 5, the spraying devices 4 are activated to wash the truck. A multi-stage sedimentation tank 31 is installed on one side of the trestle 2 and connected to the water collection tank 3. The multi-stage sedimentation tank 31 is connected to the spray device 4, so that the rinsing water that has undergone multi-stage sedimentation can be reused, thus saving water resources.

[0036] The implementation principle of the integrated car wash system in the trestle 1 of this application embodiment is as follows: When washing and cleaning the dump truck, the dump truck is driven to pass through the car wash trough 23 and the washing platform 5 in sequence. The spray device 4 washes the surface of the dump truck twice to achieve the washing of the dump truck; thus, when washing the surface of the dump truck, there is no need for workers to hold water hoses to wash the surface of the vehicle, which improves the cleaning efficiency of the dump truck; the washing water after washing the dump truck flows into the collection pool 3, and is reused after sedimentation and filtration through the multi-stage sedimentation tank 31, saving water.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5A barrier 7 is installed on both sides of the water-blocking support plate 25 and the washing tank 23 and the washing platform 5. The barrier 7 includes a mounting rod 71, a fixing rod 72, a waterproof cloth 73, and a winding component. The mounting rod 71 and the fixing rod 72 are both rectangular rods. A groove is opened at the top of the water-blocking support plate 25 to accommodate the mounting rod 71 and the fixing rod 72. The mounting rod 71 and the fixing rod 72 are rotatably mounted on the water-blocking support plate 25 and are driven to rotate by a hydraulic rod. The mounting rod 71 is hollow, and a rotating shaft 74 is rotatably installed in the mounting rod 71 along its length. The waterproof cloth 73 is wound on the rotating shaft 74. A strip-shaped hole is opened on the side of the mounting rod 71 facing the fixing rod 72 for the waterproof cloth 73 to enter and exit. A pull rod is provided at one end of the waterproof fabric 73 outside the mounting rod 71. An L-shaped hook is connected and installed on the fixing rod 72. The pull rod is snapped onto the hook, thereby laying the waterproof fabric 73 between the mounting rod 71 and the fixing rod 72. A winding device is provided on the mounting rod 71 and connected to the rotating shaft 74. The winding device ensures that the waterproof fabric 73 always tends to be wound onto the rotating shaft 74.

[0039] The winding component includes a coil spring 75, the inner side of which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 74, and the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 71. The coil spring 75 ensures that the rotating shaft 74 always has a tendency to rotate and wind up the waterproof cloth 73.

[0040] When washing the dump truck, rotate the fixing rod 72 and the mounting rod 71 to the vertical direction, pull the waterproof cloth 73 out from the mounting rod 71 and fix it to the fixing rod 72. The coil spring 75 keeps the waterproof cloth 73 in a taut state. The waterproof cloth 73 blocks the water splashed during the washing of the dump truck, preventing water from splashing outside the trestle 2 and causing waste and affecting the foundation.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that in the description of this application, the terms "vertical," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
