Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of car washing equipment, specifically to a car wash machine brush head contour control device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] There are currently two main methods of car washing: manual washing and fully automatic car wash machines. Manual washing is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and costly. Fully automatic car wash machines, on the other hand, are efficient, fast, and inexpensive. However, many fully automatic car wash machines on the market exhibit significant vertical movement during the cleaning of the vehicle's roof, causing the brushes to sometimes miss the roof and sometimes apply excessive pressure. This directly results in the roof not being properly cleaned, and in more serious cases, can damage the vehicle.

[0003] Existing brush heads cannot perfectly fit the vehicle body. Because the side walls of a vehicle are curved and not vertical, the side walls of the vehicle usually cannot be completely cleaned. Furthermore, the angle of the brush head cannot be changed for different vehicle models. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a car wash machine brush head contour control device and its usage method, which enables more thorough cleaning of the top and side walls of the vehicle body, and allows for angle and position adjustments for different vehicle models, making the brush head more flexible and faster to move.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

The upper brush head component is fixedly connected to the upper end inside the cleaning component, and the two side brush head components are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides inside the cleaning component.

[0007] The upper brush head assembly includes a roller, two connecting plates, four upper connecting rods and four lower connecting rods. The upper ends of the two connecting plates are fixedly connected to the upper part of the cleaning assembly. Each connecting plate is rotatably provided with a rotating head. Each rotating head is fixedly connected with an upper connecting rod. A fixing member is fixedly provided on the other end of each upper connecting rod.

[0008] Each of the fixed components has an upper connector rotatably mounted on both sides, and a lower connecting rod rotatably connected to each upper connector. A lower connector is fixedly mounted on the other end of each lower connecting rod. A bushing is fitted on both ends of the roller, and each bushing is rotatably connected to a lower connector on both sides.

[0009] The side brush head assembly includes an upper brush head, a lower brush head, a rotating plate, and a moving plate. The lower brush head is fixedly connected to the moving plate via a lower connecting rod, and the upper brush head is fixedly connected to the rotating plate via an upper connecting rod. An adjustment groove is provided on the moving plate.

[0010] One end of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the lower part of the adjusting groove, and the other end of the rotating plate is rotatably provided with a second connecting rod. The other end of the second connecting rod is rotatably provided with a first connecting rod, and the other end of the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the upper part of the adjusting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a support frame, a storage tank, and a spray device. The support frame has a C-shaped structure, and a square groove is opened on each of the two sides inside the support frame. The storage tank is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support frame.

[0012] The spraying device is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support frame. The storage box and the spraying device are connected by a connecting pipe. Five spray heads are fixedly installed below the spraying device. A sensor is fixedly installed at the upper end and both sides of the inside of the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the two connecting plates are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the spray device.

[0014] Furthermore, a foam brush is fixedly mounted on the roller by multiple rivets.

[0015] Furthermore, a rotating head and a connecting plate are connected by a first rotating shaft, an upper connecting rod and a fixing member are connected by two fixing screws, and every two upper connecting heads and a lower connecting rod are connected by a fixing shaft. A rotating motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the roller by a first coupling.

[0016] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly mounted on one end of the first rotating shaft via a second coupling, and every two upper connectors and the fixing member are connected by an upper rotating rod, and every two lower connectors and the fixing member are connected by a lower rotating rod.

[0017] Furthermore, a fixed plate is fixedly installed in each of the square slots, and three movable rods are slidably installed on each fixed plate. One end of each of the three movable rods is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and a limiting member is fixedly installed on the other end of each movable rod.

[0018] Furthermore, a sliding motor is fixedly installed on the movable plate, a connecting block is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable plate, a cylinder is rotatably installed on the connecting block, and the other end of the cylinder is rotatably connected to the connection between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod.

[0019] A method for using a car wash machine brush head contour control device includes the following steps:

[0020] S1: Spraying cleaning agent operation;

[0021] Three sensors detect the vehicle and its external structure, the spray system is activated, and cleaning agent is delivered from the storage tank to the spray system through the connecting pipe to spray the vehicle.

[0022] S2: Top cleaning operation;

[0023] Start the two drive motors, the upper connecting rod rotates along the first rotating shaft, driving the lower connecting rod to rotate, so that the roller descends to the top of the vehicle. Start the rotating motor, the roller rotates, driving the foam brush to rotate, and clean the top of the vehicle.

[0024] S3: Sidewall cleaning procedure;

[0025] When the cylinder is activated, the cylinder push rod extends, causing the first and second connecting rods to rotate. An angle is formed between the rotating plate and the moving plate, causing the upper brush head to rotate to a suitable angle. The sliding motor is then activated, and the three moving rods move inward, causing the upper and lower brush heads to move inward to clean the side walls of the vehicle.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0027] (1) By setting two side brush head assemblies, the technical effect that can be achieved is that the side brush head assembly can adjust the angle position according to the different angles of the vehicle side wall, making the brush head more flexible and faster to move. The rotating plate and the moving plate move in angle through the cylinder, which makes it easy to adjust the angle of the upper brush head, making the vehicle side wall cleaner.

[0028] (2) By setting up the upper brush head assembly, the technical effect that can be achieved is that the upper brush head assembly is used to clean the top of the vehicle. Through the upper and lower connecting rods, the vehicle is prevented from being scratched during the washing of the vehicle top. The foam brush is fixed to the roller by riveting. Each piece of foam brush can be replaced independently, making maintenance convenient.

[0029] (3) By setting up the cleaning component, the technical effect that can be achieved is that the cleaning component is used to spray the vehicle with cleaning agent. The vehicle is sprayed evenly through five spray heads, so that the top and side walls of the vehicle are sprayed with cleaning agent. Attached Figure Description
