Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water purification systems, in particular to a vertical brush traveling mechanism used in a basement car washing machine. Background Art

[0002] A car wash is a device used to automatically clean cars. It typically consists of a water pump, nozzles, brushes, and detergent. When a car enters the car wash, the pump sprays water and detergent onto the car's surface, while the brushes rotate and scrub the exterior to remove dirt and stains. Car washes can also clean the wheels and undercarriage using high-pressure water jets. Some advanced car washes are also equipped with drying systems to evaporate moisture from the car's surface after washing, leaving it even cleaner and tidier. The advent of car washes has greatly improved the efficiency and convenience of car washing, making it easier for car owners to keep their cars clean and looking their best.

[0003] Traditional car wash machine vertical brushes usually adopt a swing arm structure, which rotates around a rotating axis through a straight arm to achieve clamping and cleaning of the vehicle. However, in a basement environment, due to the small space, the space occupied by the device is large, so the structure of the vertical brush needs to be simplified. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be noted that the following embodiments and features within these embodiments may be combined with one another, unless they conflict.

[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown:

[0027] A vertical brush travel mechanism for a basement car washer includes a third track 43, a travel mechanism 44 mounted on the third track 43, and two sets of travel mechanisms 44, one on each side of the third track 43. A cable support 444 is mounted on one side of the travel mechanism 44, and a cable chain 445 is attached to the end of the cable support 444 for cable placement. Specifically, the two sets of travel mechanisms 44 enable independent control of the vertical brushes on both sides, enhancing cleaning efficiency.

[0028] A rotating seat 45 is provided at the bottom of the walking mechanism 44 ; a connecting seat 46 is provided on the rotating seat 45 ; a third motor 47 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 46 ; the third motor 47 is connected to a vertical brush cylinder 48 via a reducer.

[0029] The third track 43 is provided with a rack 431. The running mechanism 44 includes a second slider 441 and a fourth motor 442 disposed above the second slider 441. The second slider 441 is engaged with the third track 43. The fourth motor 442 is connected to a gear at the bottom of the third slider via a reducer and meshes with the rack 431 for transmission. The third track 43 is also provided with guide rails 434 on its upper surface. Two sets of guide rails 434 are provided, one on each side of the upper surface of the third track 43. Guide blocks 443 are provided on both sides of the inner bottom of the second slider 441. The guide blocks 443 slidably engage with the guide rails 434.

[0030] Through this solution, the walking mechanism 44 is driven by the rack 431, which can more accurately control the moving distance. At the same time, the guide rail 434 is provided to increase the stability of the movement.

[0031] A shock absorber 49 is provided inside the connecting base 46; one end of the shock absorber 49 is connected to the connecting base 46 by a hinge, and the other end is connected to the bottom of the third rail 43 by a hinge. The provision of the shock absorber 49 reduces the impact of the vertical brush on the vehicle when it contacts the vehicle, thereby better protecting the vehicle.

[0032] The rotating base 45 includes a rotating bracket 451, a rotating bearing 452 mounted on the rotating bracket 451, and a rotating rod 453 mounted within the rotating bearing 452. The connecting base 46 includes two sets of fixing sleeves 461 located at the top, which are sleeved onto the rotating rod 453. The connecting base 46 defines an internal mounting space, and the third motor 47 is bolted to the mounting space. This design allows the vertical brush to be configured as a movable structure, stabilized by the shock absorber 49, ensuring a certain degree of rotational margin when in contact with a vehicle.

[0033] The third track 43 enables the vertical brush to move through the horizontal track, reducing the problem of a certain rotation radius of the traditional swing arm mechanism and increasing the utilization rate of space. At the same time, two independent sets of walking mechanisms are used for guidance through horizontal racks, which can more accurately control the moving position of the vertical brush and enable the vertical brushes on both sides to be controlled separately, thereby reducing space occupation and increasing the cleaning effect.

[0034] A car washing machine for use in a basement, comprising the vertical brush traveling mechanism according to any one of the above claims.

[0035] The above-described embodiments merely represent specific implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the scope of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
