[0003] Vehicle washing usually requires continuous washing to achieve high cleaning efficiency. However, when using washing rollers, the surface of which is usually made of sponge, wastewater is collected after the roller is squeezed, and the squeezed-out air is also collected, causing an increase in pressure in the liquid collection chamber.

[0022] In one or more alternative embodiments, the surface of the washing roller is provided with a water-absorbing layer.
[0023] In one or more alternative embodiments, the absorbent layer is made of sponge.
[0024] In one or more alternative embodiments, the cleaning mechanism further includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member that cooperate with the sealing portion to fix the water-guiding structure.
[0025] In one or more alternative embodiments, the sealing portion extends outward to form a mounting portion with a flat mounting surface for fixing the water intake structure.
[0026] In one or more alternative embodiments, the straight portion of the water-guiding structure is provided with multiple through holes, and the top of the first fixing member is provided with multiple nut posts. The nut posts cooperate with the through holes, and the fastening screw is driven into the dry nut posts on the top of the first fixing member through the mounting portion of the interference part assembly downward through the top of the straight portion of the water-guiding structure, thereby realizing the installation of the cleaning mechanism.
[0027] In one or more alternative embodiments, the first fixing member needs to be fixed by the second fixing member. The surface of the first fixing member near the washing and wiping roller is set as an arc-shaped structure, and there is a second gap between the arc-shaped structure and the surface of the washing and wiping roller that communicates with the first gap. The first gap and the second gap form a pressure relief cavity.
[0028] In one or more alternative embodiments, the first gap and the second gap form a large-area projection on the surface of the scrubbing roller;
[0029] When pressure relief is required, the pressure relief outlet and the pressure relief chamber are connected via a solenoid valve.
[0030] In one or more alternative embodiments, the second fastener can be detachably connected to the first fastener by an interference fit through an opening at the bottom of the first fastener.
[0031] In one or more alternative embodiments, a gap is left between the second fastener and the first fastener.
[0032] In one or more alternative embodiments, the pressure relief chamber is a semi-sealed structure, and the pressure relief chamber further includes a third interference portion that is parallel to the axial direction of the washing and wiping roller and forms a semi-closed shape in the circumferential direction of the washing and wiping roller near the surface of the vehicle.

[0034] In one or more alternative embodiments, the third interference portion is a part of a component.
[0035] In one or more alternative embodiments, the third interference portion is disposed on the first fixing member, or the third interference portion is disposed on other components; the third interference portion is easy to remove.
[0036] In one or more alternative embodiments, the third interference portion is disposed on the second fixing member, and the third interference portion adopts a strip-shaped structure, which is an interference strip.
[0037] In one or more alternative embodiments, when the first fixing member needs to be fixed by the second fixing member, the third interference part is provided near the vehicle surface, and the third interference part, the water-guiding part, the second interference part, and the guide strip form a closed pressure relief cavity.
[0038] In one or more alternative embodiments, the third interference portion includes an outer side of the third interference portion that is located on the outer side when viewed from the direction of the washing and rubbing roller rotating clockwise, and an inner concave side of the third interference portion that is located on the inner side when viewed from the direction of the washing and rubbing roller rotating clockwise.
[0039] When particulate waste is present, the particulate waste can be separated from the surface of the washing roller by the action of the outer side of the third interference section, and will form an aggregate on the concave side of the third interference section.
[0040] In one or more alternative embodiments, the second fixing member extends A-shaped water-collecting protrusions at both ends of the third interference portion in the length direction and simultaneously radially upward along the outer surface of the washing and wiping roller.
[0041] In one or more alternative embodiments, the second fastener continues to extend to both ends at the water-collecting protrusion while its interference with the outer surface of the washing and wiping roller gradually decreases to zero until a gap is left between them, forming a collapsed section.
[0042] In one or more alternative embodiments, the second fastener has a slight interference fit with the outer surface of the washing roller at the third interference portion and the two water-collecting protrusions, forming a collection space at the lower part of the second gap.
[0043] In one or more alternative embodiments, the collection space includes a fine particulate waste collection space.
[0044] In one or more alternative embodiments, when particulate waste is present, the particulate waste can be separated from the surface of the washing roller by the action of the outer side of the third interference section. When the particulate waste is stuck beyond the highest point of the third interference section by the adhesive action of the water-absorbing layer on the surface of the wetted washing roller, under the impact of the vented air released through the air outlet, and accompanied by the water-absorbing layer being wetted again by the sewage squeezed out by the first interference section, the particulate waste forms a deposit on the concave side of the third interference section.
[0045] In one or more alternative embodiments, the vented air released into the pressure relief chamber through the air outlet, when encountering a fine particulate waste collection space filled with particulate waste or sewage, will be discharged out of the car wiping device through the first and second vent gaps due to the gap between the collapsed section of the second fixing member and the water-absorbing layer on the surface of the washing roller. This process, after encountering the obstruction of the fine particulate waste collection space, will release the pressure accumulated inside the car wiping device.
[0046] In one or more alternative embodiments, the sealing portion forms a V-groove between the side opposite to the first interference portion and the fixing portion.
[0047] In one or more alternative embodiments, a rib is provided between the sealing portion and the fixing portion on the side opposite to the first interference portion.
[0048] In one or more alternative embodiments, the sealed liquid exchange zone has an arc-shaped cross-section along its length perpendicular to the horizontal direction, including a C-shape.
[0049] In one or more alternative embodiments, the sealed liquid exchange zone may be provided with a clean water inlet connected to the outlet of the water pipe and a wastewater outlet connected to the return water inlet. The clean water inlet may be connected to the cleaning liquid container via a water pump, and the wastewater outlet may be connected to the wastewater container via a water pump. A conversion device may be provided between the wastewater container and the cleaning liquid container.
[0050] This invention relates to a pressure relief mechanism for a washing and wiping vehicle, comprising a pressure relief chamber connected to a pressure chamber on the surface of the washing and wiping roller. During use, the pressure generated by the collected liquid during operation is released through the washing and wiping roller via the pressure relief chamber, without the discharge of air bubbles or other contaminants. Simultaneously, a pressure buffer chamber is provided between the pressure relief chamber and the pressure chamber, and a pressure relief hole is provided between the pressure buffer chamber and the pressure relief chamber. This allows for a preliminary pressure release during pressure relief, thereby preventing noise from entering the pressure relief chamber. Attached Figure Description

[0075] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0076] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the present invention provides an embodiment of a pressure relief mechanism for a washing and wiping vehicle.
[0077] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the car cleaning and pressure relief mechanism includes a cleaning head and a handle (not shown in the figure) connected to the cleaning head. The cleaning head includes a housing 3, a cleaning roller 1 and a cleaning mechanism 2 mounted on the housing 3. The cleaning roller 1 continuously cleans the vehicle surface by rolling continuously. The cleaning mechanism 2 continuously cleans the surface of the cleaning roller after cleaning the vehicle surface and maintains the surface humidity of the cleaning roller. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a sealed liquid exchange zone A and an interference part assembly 20 that squeezes the liquid on the cleaning roller 1 into the sealed liquid exchange zone A.
[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the washing and wiping roller 1 is provided with a water-absorbing layer 11, which is a sponge in this embodiment. The washing and wiping roller 1 is directly driven by a motor 12, or it can be driven by a motor or the like through a transmission mechanism (not shown in the figure). Continuous washing and wiping is achieved by the washing and wiping roller rolling on the surface of the vehicle.
[0079] The cleaning mechanism 2 can be an integral structure. Although the following embodiments use multiple parts to implement the cleaning mechanism 2, the component numbers and names mentioned in the following description are consistent with this embodiment. Alternatively, those skilled in the art can make simple modifications and expansions based on the following text description and drawings, all of which are within the protection scope of the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment.
[0080] As a further improved implementation, the cleaning mechanism 2 can also be implemented by multiple parts working together. When multiple separate parts work together, the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the cleaning mechanism can be reduced.
[0081] This embodiment uses the cleaning mechanism 2 as an example of a separate component structure for illustration.
[0082] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the interference assembly 20 includes a first interference section 200 that forms a pressure with the surface of the washing roller 1. The first interference section 200 has a fixing section 201 and a sealing section 202 on both sides of the circumferential direction of the washing roller 1 surface. The sealing section 202 extends outward to form a mounting section 207 with a flat mounting surface for fixing the water-guiding structure 21. The sealing section 202 and the water-guiding structure 21 cooperate to form a sealed liquid exchange zone A on the surface of the washing roller 1. The fixing section 201 can be fixed to the housing 3. The water-guiding structure 21 can connect with the sealing section 202 to form a water-sealed contact on the surface of the washing roller 1.
[0083] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the water-guiding structure 21 includes a water-guiding part 211 in contact with the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1, a water-storing part 214 connected to the water-guiding part 211, guide strips 212 that cause interference between the two ends of the washing and rubbing roller 1, and an extension part 210 with a first gap B1 between it and the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1. The circumferential end of the water-guiding part 211 is provided with a second interference part 2111 that forms a water seal with the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1. Guide strips 212 that cause interference between the two ends of the washing and rubbing roller 1 are provided at both ends of the length direction of the water-guiding part 211, that is, the guide strips 212 are in partial contact with the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1. The inner side of the guide strip 212 is provided with an inclined surface 2121. The inclined surface 2121 has an arc-shaped structure. The arc-shaped structure design of the inclined surface 2121 can keep the contact pressure of each part when the inclined surface contacts the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1 basically the same. The guide strip 212 extends towards the sealed liquid exchange zone A with protrusions 2122. These protrusions 2122, together with the first interference portion 200, the second interference portion 2111, the water storage portion 214, and the sealing portion 202, enclose the surface of the washing roller 1 to form a sealed liquid exchange zone A. The water storage portion 214, the water intake portion 211, the guide strip 212, and the sealing portion 202 cooperate with the surface of the washing roller 1 to form the sealed liquid exchange zone A. The extension portion 210 and the water intake portion 211 are located on both sides of the water storage portion 214. The water storage portion 214 and the sealing portion 202 are fixed together using a waterproof connection.
[0084] As a further improved implementation, the second interference part 2111 can adopt a strip structure, and the contact surface formed between it and the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1 is as small as possible. This can ensure that no leakage occurs from the second interference part 2111 during the water exchange process, while also reducing the rotational resistance of the washing and rubbing roller 1 during operation. In addition, it can effectively increase the gap length in the circumferential direction of the washing and rubbing roller 1, thereby increasing the pressure relief area.
[0085] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 also includes a first fixing member 22 and a second fixing member 23 that cooperate with the sealing part 202 to fix the water-guiding structure 21. The first fixing member 22 needs to be fixed by the second fixing member 23. The surface of the first fixing member 22 near the washing and rubbing roller 1 is set with an arc-shaped structure, and there is a second gap B2 between the arc-shaped structure and the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1 that communicates with the first gap B1. The first gap B1 and the second gap B2 form a pressure relief chamber B. Since the first gap B1 and the second gap B2 form a large area projection on the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1, when pressure relief is required, the pressure relief outlet 27 is connected to the pressure relief chamber B through a solenoid valve (not shown in the figure), which can be absorbed by the washing and rubbing roller 1 more quickly, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of bubbles when the pressure is released to the washing and rubbing roller 1.
[0086] As a further improved implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the pressure relief outlet 27 is directly connected to the pressure relief chamber B, which can further simplify the internal structure of the cleaning mechanism 2 and reduce the processing and manufacturing difficulty of the cleaning mechanism.
[0087] As needed, the pressure relief chamber B is a semi-sealed structure. This chamber also includes a third interference portion 231 located near the vehicle surface of the washing roller 1, parallel to the axis of the washing roller 1 and forming a semi-closed shape circumferentially around the washing roller. This third interference portion can be a separate detachable part or a part of a component. The pressure relief chamber B is called a "semi-sealed structure" primarily because the third interference portion only forms a semi-closed shape circumferentially around the washing roller in its own length direction; gaps remain between the third interference portion and the washing roller 1 at both ends in the length direction. Details are provided in the following paragraphs describing the pressure relief channel and in the appendix of the instruction manual. Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 The description provides a detailed description of the pressure relief chamber B, which has pressure relief channels at both ends near the washing roller 1. Therefore, the pressure relief chamber B is a semi-sealed structure.
[0088] As a further improved implementation method, as needed, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the pressure relief mechanism of the washing and wiping vehicle also includes a cleaning mechanism 2. This cleaning mechanism further includes a third interference portion 231 formed on the surface of the washing and wiping roller 1 by the second fixing member 23. The third interference portion 231 can be a strip-shaped structure, such as an interference strip. The third interference portion 231 can be set on the first fixing member 22 or on other components. For example, when the first fixing member 22 needs to be fixed by the second fixing member 23, the third interference portion 231 can be set on the second fixing member 23. The third interference portion 231 is located close to the vehicle surface and parallel to the axis of the washing and wiping roller 1. The third interference portion 231, the water guiding portion 211, the second interference portion 2111, and the guide strip 212 form a closed pressure relief chamber B, which avoids the appearance of bubbles on the surface of the washing and wiping roller 1 when the pressure is large.
[0089] like Figure 5 As shown, the third interference portion 231 includes an outer side 2311 of the third interference portion located on the outer side when viewed from the direction of the clockwise rotating washing roller 1, and an inner side 2312 of the third interference portion located on the inner side when viewed from the direction of the clockwise rotating washing roller 1. Since the third interference portion 231 is located closest to the vehicle surface, when particulate debris is present, it can be separated from the surface of the washing roller 1 by the action of the outer side 2311, and aggregated on the inner side 2312. When the third interference portion 231 is located on the second fixing member 23, it can be easily removed for cleaning.
[0090] As a further improved implementation, the third interference part 231 can be disposed on other components as needed, and can be easily removed for cleaning.
[0091] As a further improved implementation method, as needed, such as Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, the second fixing member 23 extends A-shaped water-collecting protrusions 234 at both ends of the third interference portion 231 along the length direction and simultaneously radially upward along the outer surface of the scrubbing roller 1. The second fixing member 23 continues to extend towards both ends at the water-collecting protrusions 234, while the interference fit between it and the outer surface of the scrubbing roller 1 gradually decreases to zero until a gap is left between them, forming a collapsed section 232. The second fixing member 23 has a slight interference fit with the outer surface of the scrubbing roller 1 at the third interference portion 231 and the two water-collecting protrusions 234, forming a collection space G at the lower part of the second gap B2. Further, the collection space includes a fine particulate waste collection space. On one hand, the outer side 2311 of the third interference section 231 is closest to the vehicle surface. When particulate waste is present, it can be separated from the surface of the scrubbing roller 1 by the action of the outer side 2311 of the third interference section. When the particulate waste is adhered to the highest point of the third interference section 231 by the adhesive action of the water-absorbing layer 11 on the surface of the wetted scrubbing roller 1, under the impact of the vented air released through the air outlet 27, and accompanied by the water-absorbing layer 11 being wetted again by the sewage squeezed out by the first interference section 200, the particulate waste forms a deposit on the concave side 2312 of the third interference section. When the third interference section 231 is located on the second fixing member 23, it can be easily removed, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the particulate waste deposited in the fine particulate waste collection space G. On the other hand, when the vented air is released into the pressure relief chamber B through the air outlet 27 and encounters the fine particulate waste collection space G filled with particulate waste or sewage, the first exhaust gap D1 and the second exhaust gap D2 are formed because there is a gap between the collapsed section 232 of the second fixing member 23 and the water-absorbing layer 11 on the surface of the washing roller 1. After encountering the obstruction of the fine particulate waste collection space G, the vented air will be discharged from the first exhaust gap D1 and the second exhaust gap D2 to the outside of the car washing device, thereby releasing the pressure accumulated inside the car washing device.
[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, a pressure-relieving chamber 220 is provided between the pressure relief chamber B and the pressure chamber (not shown in the attached figure, which may be one of the inner cavities of the container for collecting, filtering, and outputting return water from the washing and wiping vehicle device). A pressure relief hole 222 is provided between the pressure-relieving chamber 220 and the pressure relief chamber B. The surface area of the washing and wiping roller 1 forming part of the pressure relief chamber B is larger than the surface area of the washing and wiping roller 1 forming part of the sealed liquid exchange zone A. Because the surface area of the squeezing washing and wiping roller 1 is smaller, the air generated is limited, while the area of the pressure relief chamber B is larger, making pressure relief easier.
[0093] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the sealing part 202 forms a V-shaped groove (not shown in the figure) between the sealing part 202 and the fixing part 201 on the side opposite to the first interference part 200. In order to improve strength and reduce weight, a rib 203 is provided between the sealing part 202 and the fixing part 201 on the side opposite to the first interference part 200.
[0094] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 further includes a water-guiding structure 21 that is connected to the sealing part 202 and forms a watertight contact with the surface of the scrubbing roller 1. The water-guiding structure 21 includes a water-guiding part 211 that contacts the surface of the scrubbing roller 1 and a water storage part 214 connected to the water-guiding part 211, as well as an extension part 210 that has a pressure relief chamber B between itself and the surface of the scrubbing roller 1. The pressure relief chamber B is connected to the pressure relief outlet 27.
[0095] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the water inlet 211 extends into the sealed liquid exchange zone A. The portion of the water inlet 211 near the sealed liquid exchange zone A contacts the surface 1 of the washing roller, while a gap B1 is provided between the portion of the water inlet 211 away from the sealed liquid exchange zone A and the surface of the washing roller 1. The sealed liquid exchange zone has an arc-shaped cross-section along its length perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and this arc shape includes a C-shape.
[0096] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the straight portion 216 of the water-guiding structure 21 has several through holes (not shown in the figure), and the top of the first fixing member 22 has several nut posts (not shown in the figure). The nut posts mate with the through holes. Then, by driving the fastening screws down through the mounting portion 207 of the interference part assembly 20 through the top of the straight portion 216 of the water-guiding structure 21, the fastening screws can be driven into the nut posts on the top of the first fixing member 22, thereby realizing the installation of the main component of the cleaning mechanism 2. Furthermore, the second fixing member 23 can be detachably connected to the first fixing member 22 by an interference fit through an opening at the bottom of the first fixing member 22. To facilitate disassembly and assembly, a gap 221 is left between the second fixing member 23 and the first fixing member 22 so that the compressed air during the interference fit insertion process still has some space, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.
[0097] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, in the middle of the cleaning mechanism 2 assembled by the water-guiding structure 21, the first fixing member 22, and the second fixing member 23, there is a pressure relief hole 222 communicating with the air outlet 27. The main part of the pressure relief hole 222 communicating with the air outlet 27 is located in the middle of the first fixing member 22. The side of the first fixing member 22 facing the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1 is an arc surface 223 with a similar curvature. The arc surface 223, the pressure relief hole 222, and the surface of the washing and rubbing roller 1 together form a second gap B2. The upper half of the pressure relief hole 222 is located in the middle of the water-guiding structure 21, and the lower half of the pressure relief hole 222 is located in the middle of the second fixing member 23. The two upper and lower half guide portions together form a complete guide portion of the pressure relief hole 222. The guide portion of the pressure relief hole 222 can increase the air outlet area of the pressure relief hole 222, further reducing the air outlet velocity. Simultaneously, it is more conducive to the even dispersion of the discharged air onto the surface of the washing roller 1, further reducing the noise generated by the washing vehicle device during pressure relief and exhaust. For example... Figure 8 As shown, combined with Figure 2 To ensure continuous exchange of fluids in the sealed fluid exchange zone A during operation, the zone can be equipped with a clean water inlet A1 connected to the outlet pipe 41 and a wastewater outlet A2 connected to the return water inlet 51. The clean water inlet can be connected to the cleaning fluid container (not shown in the attached diagram) via a water pump (not shown in the diagram), and the wastewater outlet can also be connected to the wastewater container (not shown in the attached diagram) via a water pump. A conversion device (not shown in the attached diagram) can be provided between the wastewater container and the cleaning fluid container to convert wastewater into cleaning fluid, thus protecting the vehicle from continuous washing over extended periods. The cleaning fluid can include clean water, a mixture of clean water and cleaning fluid, or only cleaning fluid. The cleaning fluid inlet and wastewater outlet are located at opposite ends of the sealed fluid exchange zone.
