Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle cleaning equipment, and in particular to a vehicle cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The vehicle cleaning system is a highly efficient and professional system specifically designed for cleaning large and heavy vehicles. Its cleaning performance far surpasses that of household car wash tools. It can effectively remove stains and transport residues that adhere to the vehicle surface during transportation, which helps to keep roads clean and reduce dust, while also preventing spillage of transport materials and dust spread.

[0003] The bottom of a vehicle cleaning device is usually equipped with a filter or fence to ensure smooth drainage during the vehicle cleaning process. However, after impurities are released on the surface of the filter, they can easily clog the filter mesh, leading to a continuous decline in filter performance and a high maintenance frequency. If the wastewater is discharged directly into the sewer pipe through the fence, it can easily cause pipe blockage in the later stages, making cleaning difficult. The purpose of this invention is to propose a new vehicle cleaning device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vehicle cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including a cleaning room and a platform. The cleaning room refers to a building used for performing vehicle cleaning operations. The cleaning room has built-in water pipes, with water sources and nozzles connected to both ends of the water pipes respectively. The platform is located below the installation plane where the cleaning room is located. The platform includes a water tank, a collection tank, a plurality of units arranged side by side, and a motor. The collection tank is located in the water tank and is used to collect foreign objects washed off during the vehicle cleaning process.

[0006] The unit includes a collection hopper, a support plate, an electromagnet, a plurality of drive shafts, a first sleeve, and a first annular filter screen. The electromagnet refers to a device that generates magnetism when energized, which is known to those skilled in the art. Therefore, its specific structure and working principle will not be further explained. Electromagnets can be modified by changing factors such as the number of coil turns and the magnitude of the current. In implementation, the electromagnet is connected to the controller through a commutator or an H-bridge circuit, which facilitates the controller to realize the commutation of the electromagnet poles.

[0007] The bottom of the collection hopper is connected to the collection pool. The collection hopper is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. One end of the collection hopper has an installation cavity and the other end has a splash guard. The purpose of the splash guard is to reduce the splashing of foreign objects during the separation process. The splash guard has an opening.

[0008] The support plate is connected to the mounting cavity and the splash guard at both ends. The support plate is a plate-shaped component that provides support. Its purpose is to support the vehicle and prevent the wheels from directly impacting the first annular filter screen. The support plate covers the collection hopper, and the bottom surface of the support plate can block foreign objects splashed by the first and second annular filters screens during their movement.

[0009] The electromagnet is installed inside the mounting cavity;

[0010] The drive shaft is rotatable and is located inside the mounting cavity. One end of the drive shaft is located inside the mounting cavity and the other end extends outward. The drive shaft is used to transmit the power of the motor to the first sleeve to drive the first annular filter screen to move.

[0011] The first sleeve is mounted on the first mounting plate and forms a rotating pair with the first mounting plate. The first mounting plate is connected to the mounting cavity through an elastic element. A magnet is provided inside the first sleeve and the magnet can cooperate with an electromagnet. The first sleeve and the transmission shaft form a sliding pair along the length direction of the transmission shaft.

[0012] The first annular filter screen is sleeved on the first sleeve, and the first annular filter screen can enter the opening;

[0013] The motor is connected to the first sleeve for transmission, and the motor is used as a driving source to drive the first annular filter screen to move.

[0014] To optimize the above technical solution, the following measures are further taken: The unit also includes a second sleeve and a second annular filter screen. The second sleeve is set on the second mounting plate and forms a rotating pair with the second mounting plate. The second mounting plate is connected to the mounting cavity through an elastic element. The elastic element refers to a component that is elastic and stretchable. In specific implementation, technicians can select components such as springs or elastic rubber belts according to actual needs without having a substantial impact on the technical effect. The second sleeve is sleeved on the transmission shaft and forms a moving pair with the transmission shaft along the length direction of the transmission shaft. The second annular filter screen is sleeved on the second sleeve. The motor is connected to the second sleeve for transmission. The second annular filter screen is surrounded by the first annular filter screen, and the mesh size of the second annular filter screen is smaller than that of the first annular filter screen. A magnet is set inside the second sleeve, and the magnet can cooperate with an electromagnet. The magnets inside the first sleeve and the second sleeve have opposite magnetic properties.

[0015] The first and second annular filter screens refer to mesh-like annular components made of filter material that perform filtering functions. The specific filter material used is not a necessary technical feature nor is it the technical content that the applicant wants to protect. Therefore, it will not be explained further. In specific implementation, technicians can adjust the filter material according to manufacturing costs and the type of foreign matter, which will not have a substantial impact on the technical solution.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the belt is sleeved on the motor shaft and a transmission shaft that cooperates with the first sleeve and the second sleeve to realize the transmission connection between the motor and the first sleeve and the second sleeve.

[0017] As a further improvement to the technical solution, the support plate is larger than the first annular filter screen. This ensures that the support plate fully blocks the outward splashing foreign objects during the separation of foreign objects by the first annular filter screen, ensuring that the foreign objects can be fully collected.

[0018] As an improvement to the aforementioned technical solution: a support strip is formed on the support plate, the support strip is located above the first annular filter screen, the support strip can support the wheel to ensure that the bottom of the tire can also be thoroughly cleaned during the cleaning process, while increasing the friction to prevent the wheel from slipping. In addition, the support strip can also protect the first filter screen, preventing the tire from directly impacting the first annular filter screen and causing the first annular filter screen to break or be damaged.

[0019] Furthermore, the surface of the collection hopper and support plate is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE has excellent chemical corrosion resistance and an extremely low surface friction coefficient. The purpose of this coating is to reduce the adhesion of foreign objects to the surface of the collection hopper and support plate, ensuring that foreign objects can quickly enter the collection pool and be collected uniformly.

[0020] Furthermore: the pool extends outward to form a drain pipe, and the collection pool extends outward to form a cleaning port. Water flowing into the pool is discharged through the drain pipe, while the purpose of the cleaning port is to facilitate technicians to clean up foreign objects accumulated in the collection pool.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a horizontal plate, which is horizontally arranged at equal intervals on the first and second annular filter screens. The horizontal plate can shield foreign objects and prevent them from running on the first and second annular filter screens. In addition, when the first and second annular filter screens rotate, the horizontal plate can generate airflow, causing foreign objects that fall on the bottom surface of the support plate and the surface of the collection hopper to slide down, ensuring that the foreign objects can be quickly collected by the collection pool.

[0022] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0023] A. By setting up a first ring filter and a second ring filter for dual filtration, impurities can be prevented from entering the sewer pipes and causing blockages, and the separation of water flow and impurities makes them easier to handle.

[0024] B. It has a filter cleaning function. After the vehicle is washed, the first and second ring filters can clean the impurities blocked by the filters, which can prevent the filters from becoming clogged and ineffective.

[0025] C. The first and second annular filters work together but are independent of each other, making it less likely for foreign objects to get stuck between the first and second annular filters, thus reducing the filtration performance of the filters. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Working principle: For Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, the vehicle is cleaned in the cleaning chamber 100. During the process, the water flow can enter the water pool 201 through the first annular filter screen 2010 and be collected. Finally, it is discharged from the drain pipe 2020. Foreign objects carried in the water flow can be blocked by the first annular filter screen 2010 and precipitated and remain on the surface of the first annular filter screen 2010.

[0063] When cleaning the foreign matter deposited on the surface of the first annular filter screen 2010, the controller activates the electromagnet 207. Under the action of the electromagnet 207, the first mounting plate 2014 moves towards the electromagnet 207 of the adjacent unit 203. At this time, the first annular filter screen 2010 moves through the opening 2013 to below the support plate 206. Subsequently, the motor 204 starts, driving the first annular filter screen 2010 to rotate rapidly on the first sleeve 209 via the belt 2018 and the drive shaft 208. During this process, impurities adhering to the surface of the first annular filter screen 2010 are thrown out and collected. The impurities collected by the bucket 205 fall into the collection pool 202 and are collected uniformly. In addition, since a horizontal plate 2022 is formed on the surface of the first annular filter screen 2010, the horizontal plate 2022 can form an airflow in the space formed by the collection bucket 205 and the support plate 206 when it moves quickly. The airflow helps the impurities attached to the bottom surface of the support plate 206 and the surface of the collection bucket 205 to slide down. After the impurities are separated, the electromagnet 207 is turned off. At this time, under the action of the elastic element 2023, the first mounting plate 2014 is reset, which drives the first annular filter screen 2010 back to the initial position, ready for the next vehicle cleaning.

[0064] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that by setting a first annular filter screen 2010 and a second annular filter screen 2016, the double filter screen can more effectively block impurities carried in the water flow, and can block impurities of different particle sizes, thus achieving a better filtration effect and avoiding pipe blockage.

[0065] Because the magnets inside the first sleeve 209 and the second sleeve 2015 of the first annular filter 2010 and the second annular filter 2016 have opposite magnetic properties, when the first annular filter 2010 enters the space formed by the support plate 206 and the collection hopper 205 through the opening 2013 to separate foreign objects, the second annular filter 2016 will be in standby position at the initial position; while when the second annular filter 2016 enters the space formed by the support plate 206 and the collection hopper 205 through the opening 2013 to separate foreign objects, the first annular filter 2010 will be in standby position at the initial position, thus avoiding the splashing of impurities onto adjacent filter screens and causing contamination to adjacent filter screens when different filter screens separate impurities.

[0066] In the technical solution of this invention, the control method of each electrical component is to achieve automatic control through an external controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, since this invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
