[0002] With the continuous development of society and the economy, cars have become a common means of transportation for people, and the number of cars owned by Chinese citizens is also growing rapidly. Car washing has become a necessity for car owners, and many car owners choose to take their cars to car washes for cleaning. In recent years, with the continuous development and improvement of intelligent automation technology, self-service car washes such as automatic car washes have appeared in many cities. These car washes are convenient, efficient, and low-cost, and are popular among car owners. Automatic car washes use mechanized cleaning, so to ensure a clean car, they must ensure sufficient water supply. Furthermore, automatic car washes are often located outdoors, making water resources more scarce. Therefore, water conservation has become a key consideration during the car wash process.

[0045] After passing through the first collection mechanism 4, the wastewater enters the first sedimentation tank 101, the second sedimentation tank 102, and the third sedimentation tank 103 in sequence. This multiple settling process effectively separates impurities from the water. The wastewater is then transported to the filtration tank 104 via the first conveying mechanism 9. The water gradually rises from the bottom, passes through the filter material, and then flows into the storage tank 105. The first suction mechanism 6 then conveys the treated water from the storage tank 105 to the car wash system. By integrating sedimentation, filtration, and storage, combined with an optimized pipeline delivery system, the car wash wastewater can be reused. The design of the baffles separates suspended matter, preventing floating matter from clogging the pipeline.
