Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Embodiment

[0026] As Figures 1-5 shown, a drying device for an automatic car washer includes a bracket 1. One side of the upper surface of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected with a box body 2. One side of the upper surface of the box body 2 is fixedly connected with a high-pressure pump 3. The outer surface of the high-pressure pump 3 is fixedly connected with a pressurizing pipe 4. Both sides of the lower surface of the box body 2 are fixedly connected with connecting pipes 5. One end of the connecting pipe 5 is fixedly connected with a fixed pipe 6. The outer surface of the fixed pipe 6 is fixedly connected with a high-pressure nozzle 7. The middle part of the outer surface of the fixed pipe 6 is fixedly connected with a distance sensor 8. One side of the inner top wall of the bracket 1 is fixedly connected with a first motor 9. The output end of the first motor 9 is fixedly connected with a bi-directional screw 10. Both sides of the outer surface of the bi-directional screw 10 are threadedly connected with slide plates 11. The slide plates 11 are fixedly connected with the fixed pipe 6.

[0027] During specific use, through the settings of the high-pressure pump 3, fixed pipes 6, high-pressure nozzles 7, distance sensors 8, bidirectional screw 10, and slide plates 11, when the vehicle drives into the inner side of the bracket 1, the distance sensor 8 senses the distance between the high-pressure nozzle 7 and the vehicle, and the first motor 9 drives the bidirectional screw 10 to rotate, causing the two groups of slide plates 11 on its outer surface to approach or separate from each other, so as to adjust the distance between the two groups of high-pressure nozzles 7 according to the size of the vehicle, which is suitable for air-drying vehicles of different sizes, expanding the application range of the device. At the same time, it can be closer to the vehicle during air-drying, improving the air-drying effect. The two groups of fixed pipes 6 and high-pressure nozzles 7 are arranged in a staggered manner to avoid collision during movement. The high-pressure pump 3 is used as the air source, and the pressure pipe 4 transports the high-pressure air flow into the interior of the box body 2. The connecting pipe 5 connects the box body 2 with the fixed pipe 6, which can adapt to the position change of the fixed pipe 6. Under the action of multiple high-pressure nozzles 7, the top and both sides of the vehicle can be air-dried simultaneously, thus performing a comprehensive air-drying operation on the vehicle, preventing the occurrence of air-drying dead angles, making the blowing range larger and the air-drying speed faster.

[0028] In this embodiment, air collecting hoods 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner surface of the box body 2, and an electric heating grid plate 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner surface of the air collecting hood 12.

[0029] During specific use, through the setting of the electric heating grid plate 13, the opening of the air collecting hood 12 gradually narrows from top to bottom, which can better collect and guide the air flow. There is a spacing between the top of the air collecting hood 12 and the inner top wall of the box body 2, so that the gas pressurized by the pressure pipe 4 can be evenly distributed inside the box body 2. The electric heating grid plate 13 is an electrical component that converts electrical energy into heat energy to heat objects, and can keep the heated object at a certain temperature distribution as required. The electric heating grid plate 13 can heat and dry the air flow, thus accelerating the air-drying efficiency of the vehicle and realizing the function of quickly drying the washed car.

[0030] In this embodiment, a pressure relief pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper surface of the box body 2. A pressure gauge 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the pressure relief pipe 14, and a pressure relief valve 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the pressure relief pipe 14.

[0031] During specific use, through the setting of the pressure relief pipe 14, the pressure gauge 15 monitors the air pressure inside the box body 2 through the pressure relief pipe 14. When the air pressure inside the box body 2 is higher than the set value, the pressure relief valve 16 automatically opens the top pipe orifice of the pressure relief pipe 14, thereby automatically relieving pressure and ensuring the safety of device use.

[0032] In this embodiment, hydraulic rods 17 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the bracket 1, and a fixed seat 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic rod 17.

[0033] During specific use, through the setting of the hydraulic rod 17, the output end of the hydraulic rod 17 can be telescoped, and the position of the first wiping roller 20 can be adjusted through the fixed seat 18, which is applicable to vehicles of different widths, expanding the usage range of the device. At the same time, it can better fit the two sides of the vehicle during wiping.

[0034] In this embodiment, a first support rod 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side surface of the fixed seat 18, and a first wiping roller 20 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first support rod 19.

[0035] During specific use, through the setting of the first wiping roller 20, the first wiping roller 20 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the first support rod 19. Both the first wiping roller 20 and the second wiping roller 25 are made of absorbent sponge, which can better wipe the water stains remaining on the vehicle after cleaning, and thus can facilitate the air drying of the vehicle after washing.

[0036] In this embodiment, second motors 21 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner top wall of the bracket 1. The output ends of the second motors 21 are fixedly connected to lead screws 22, and a slider 23 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screws 22.

[0037] During specific use, through the setting of the lead screw 22, two sets of second motors 21 are provided, and they are servo synchronous motors. They use mutual feedback between servo controllers and achieve synchronization by two sets of controllers receiving the same group of pulses. When in use, the second motor 21 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, and the slider 23 on its outer surface drives the second wiping roller 25 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the position of the second wiping roller 25, enabling the device to wipe vehicles of different heights, and at the same time can better fit the vehicle, improving the wiping effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, a second support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the slider 23, and a second wiping roller 25 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second support rod 24.

[0039] During specific use, through the setting of the second wiping roller 25, the second wiping roller 25 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the second support rod 24 and moves under the action of the lead screw 22 and the slider 23, which can wipe the surface of the vehicle and further improve the efficiency of subsequent air drying of the vehicle.

[0040] In this embodiment, a bottom plate 26 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the bracket 1, and reinforcing ribs 27 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the bottom plate 26.

[0041] During specific use, through the setting of the bottom plate 26, it plays a role in supporting and fixing the bracket 1. The reinforcing ribs 27 connect the bottom plate 26 and the bracket 1 more tightly, strengthening its structural strength.

[0042] Working principle: During use, the output end of the hydraulic rod 17 expands and contracts, and the position of the first wiping roller 20 is adjusted through the fixed seat 18. The second motor 21 drives the lead screw 22 to rotate, causing the slider 23 to drive the second wiping roller 25 to move up and down to adjust the position of the second wiping roller 25 to better fit the vehicle. Both the first wiping roller 20 and the second wiping roller 25 are made of water-absorbing sponge, which can better wipe the water stains remaining on the vehicle after cleaning, and thus can facilitate the air drying of the vehicle after washing. The distance sensor 8 senses the distance between the high-pressure nozzle 7 and the vehicle. The first motor 9 drives the bidirectional screw 10 to rotate, causing the two groups of slide plates 11 to move closer to or separate from each other, and the distance between the two groups of high-pressure nozzles 7 is adjusted according to the size of the vehicle. The high-pressure pump 3 is used as the air source, and the pressure pipe 4 conveys the high-pressure air flow to the inside of the box body 2. The connecting pipe 5 connects the box body 2 with the fixed pipe 6. Under the action of multiple high-pressure nozzles 7, the top and both sides of the vehicle can be dried simultaneously, thereby performing a comprehensive air drying operation on the vehicle to prevent the occurrence of air drying dead angles. The electric heating grid plate 13 can heat and dry the air flow, thereby accelerating the air drying efficiency of the vehicle and realizing the function of quickly drying the washed car. The pressure gauge 15 monitors the air pressure inside the box body 2. When the air pressure inside the box body 2 is higher than the set value, the pressure relief valve 16 automatically opens the top pipe orifice of the pressure relief pipe 14, thereby automatically relieving the pressure and ensuring the safety of the device during use.
