A contactless tunnel car washing machine

Abstract

The utility model provides a contactless tunnel car washing machine, which relates to the technical field of car washing machines, and comprises a bracket and a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism is installed on the outer side of the cross bar. Through the setting of the cleaning mechanism, a camera detects the type of vehicle and transmits data to a PLC controller. When the camera detects that it is a small vehicle, the PLC controller controls the cylinder. After receiving the instruction, the piston in the cylinder starts to inflate and pressurize on one side. The piston moves outward under the thrust of the gas. This action is transmitted through the piston rod, causing the water spray arm to extend outward accordingly, thereby ensuring that the water spray arm maintains an appropriate distance from the surface of the small vehicle. On the contrary, if the camera recognizes that it is a large vehicle, the PLC controller adjusts the instruction, guides the piston in the cylinder to exhaust through the exhaust port, prompts the piston rod to retract inward, and ensures that the water spray arm can cover the wide surface of the vehicle. In this way, the car washing machine can automatically optimize the cleaning configuration according to different vehicle sizes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of car washers, in particular to a contactless tunnel car washer. Background Art

[0002] A tunnel car wash is a highly automated car wash that provides fast and efficient cleaning services for vehicles through a series of preset washing, rinsing, waxing and air drying steps. The advantage of a tunnel car wash is its high degree of automation and efficiency. It can complete the cleaning of a car in just a few minutes, making it very suitable for commercial car wash businesses, especially those that require fast turnover and handling of a large number of vehicles.

[0003] However, due to the different sizes of vehicles, the existing car washing machines have different water jets spraying on the vehicles. When washing a small vehicle, it is too far away from the water spray arm to be cleaned thoroughly. When washing a large vehicle, it is too close to the water spray arm and the water spray fan cannot be fully opened and cannot be cleaned thoroughly.

[0004] Therefore, we provide a contactless tunnel car washing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] The cleaning mechanism includes a control component, a regulating component, a driving component, a working component and a telescopic component. The control component is arranged on the outer side of the bracket, the regulating component is installed on the inner side of the bracket, the driving component is arranged on one side of the regulating component, the working component is installed inside the driving component, and the telescopic component is installed on one side of the working component.

[0009] Preferably, the regulating component includes a connecting piece and an optical axis, the connecting piece is installed on one side of the bracket, and the optical axis is installed inside the bracket.

[0010] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a cylinder, a boom connecting plate and a water spraying boom, the cylinder is installed on the inner side of the bracket, the boom connecting plate is installed on one side of the cylinder, and the water spraying boom is installed on the inner side of the boom connecting plate.

[0013] Preferably, a control assembly is mounted on the surface of the cylinder, the control assembly includes an end cover and an exhaust port, and an end cover is mounted on the surface of the cylinder, the end cover is provided in two groups, and an exhaust port is opened inside one group of the end covers.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. Through the setting of the cleaning mechanism, when in use, the camera detects the type of vehicle and transmits the data to the PLC controller. When the camera detects that it is a small vehicle, the PLC controller controls the cylinder. After receiving the command, the piston in the cylinder begins to inflate and pressurize on one side. The piston moves outward under the thrust of the gas. This action is transmitted through the piston rod, causing the water spray arm to extend outward, thereby ensuring that the water spray arm maintains an appropriate distance from the surface of the small vehicle, thereby achieving efficient and targeted cleaning operations. On the contrary, if the camera recognizes that it is a large vehicle, the PLC controller adjusts the command, guides the piston in the cylinder to exhaust through the exhaust port, prompts the piston rod to retract inward, and drives the water spray arm back to the initial position or closer to the body. The purpose of this is to adapt to the size of large vehicles and ensure that the water spray arm can cover the wide surface of the vehicle without affecting the cleaning effect due to the distance being too close. In this way, the car washing machine can automatically optimize the cleaning configuration according to different vehicle sizes, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0016] 2. Through the setting of the control components, end covers are installed at both ends of the cylinder. They are not only necessary components of the cylinder structure, but also key interfaces of the gas management system. One of the end covers is equipped with an exhaust port, which ensures the stable supply and effective release of air pressure throughout the working cycle, thereby ensuring the efficiency, stability and safety of the cylinder operation.
