Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of environmental protection equipment, in particular to a lifting top brush car washing machine. Background Art

[0002] In urban management and maintenance, the cleaning, clearing, transportation, and disposal of domestic waste impact the city's image and quality of life. During the transfer of domestic waste, specialized vans or large semi-trailers are required for loading and transporting the waste. When loading the transfer trucks, some waste residue and slurry will adhere to the tailgate. To reduce corrosion to equipment and the environmental impact of emitted gases, the semi-trailer transfer trucks need to be cleaned and washed regularly. Current car wash technology on the market primarily uses fixed roller brushes to clean the sides and top of the vehicle compartment. However, due to the gap between the front and rear of the vehicle, and the tilted tailgate, fixed roller brushes are difficult to effectively clean. Manual cleaning of the tail and joints where waste is loaded and transported still relies on detergents and high-pressure water, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and wastes a lot of water.

[0043] In order to better explain the present invention and facilitate understanding, the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments. Figure 1 The orientation is referenced.

[0044] Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a clearer and more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a lift-type top-brush car washer for cleaning specialized vans or large semi-trailers used to transport garbage. It can clean complex vehicle areas, such as the cab-to-truck connection, the top of the truck, and the angled tailgate. The lift-type top-brush car washer comprises a mounting frame 1, a first drive mechanism 21, a second drive mechanism 22, a top brush 3, a first slide rail 41, and a second slide rail 42. The first slide rail 41 is horizontally mounted on the bottom surface and arranged in pairs. The spacing between the first slide rails 41 is greater than the width of the garbage transport vehicle. The mounting frame 1 is a door-shaped frame, slidably connected to the first slide rail 41. The mounting frame 1 is taller than the height of the garbage transport vehicle, and the garbage transport vehicle to be cleaned is driven into the mounting frame 1 before cleaning. The second slide rails 42 are vertically mounted on the mounting frame 1 and are arranged in pairs. The top brush 3 has a horizontally mounted rotating shaft, with each end of the shaft slidingly connected to the pair of second slide rails 42, one-to-one. The first driving mechanism 21 is connected to the top brush 3 to drive the top brush 3 to move along the second slide rail 42, and the second driving mechanism 22 is connected to the rotating shaft of the top brush 3 to drive the top brush 3 to rotate. Figure 3After the garbage truck to be cleaned enters the mounting frame 1, the first drive mechanism 21 drives the top brush 3 down to a set height, which is lower than the height of the cab. The second drive mechanism 22 rotates the top brush 3 while the first drive mechanism 21 drives the top brush 3 up and laterally moves the mounting frame 1 according to the top contour of the garbage truck. This ensures that the top brush 3 always conforms to the top contour of the garbage truck, allowing for cleaning of complex areas of the garbage truck, such as the connection between the cab and the vehicle body and the roof of the vehicle body. When the top brush 3 moves laterally to the rear of the garbage truck, it brushes up and down along the rear, making it particularly suitable for cleaning the tailgate end face, which is not vertical but rather inclined. This avoids the problem of the vertical side brush 71 not being able to reach the upper part of the inclined tailgate end.

[0046] The utility model is equipped with a first slide rail 41 and a second slide rail 42, and employs a lifting top brush 3 structure. The brush head of the top brush 3 can be raised and lowered along the vertical second slide rail 42, while the mounting frame 1 can move forward and backward along the horizontal first slide rail 41, thereby forming a curved motion trajectory that brushes along the exterior of the garbage loading and transport vehicle. By controlling the movement in both directions, the top brush 3 can clean along the lateral contour of the vehicle body, penetrate the gap between the front and rear compartments, and clean along the inclined tailgate contour. This solves the problem of cleaning complex surfaces such as the tops of trucks of varying heights and the vertical surfaces of garbage loading and transport vehicles, reducing the time and labor intensity of manual cleaning.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting frame 1 includes a first frame 11 and a second frame 12 arranged opposite each other, connected by a top crossbeam. Second rails 42 are provided on each of the first and second frames 11, 12, with the top brush 3 slidably connected to the second rails 42 on each of the first and second frames 11, 12. Specifically, mounting brackets 31 are provided at each end of the rotating shaft of the top brush 3. The mounting brackets 31 clamp the second rails 42 via multiple pairs of rollers, allowing the mounting brackets 31 to slide only along the second rails 42. The rotating shaft of the top brush 3 is rotationally connected to the mounting brackets 31. While the mounting brackets 31 drive the vertical movement of the top brush 3, the top brush 3 itself can also undergo rotational motion. A first drive mechanism 21 is connected to the pair of mounting brackets 31. The first drive mechanism 21 drives the synchronous vertical movement of the rotating shaft of the top brush 3, enhancing the stability of the movement. A second drive mechanism 22 is provided on one of the mounting brackets 31 to drive the rotation of the top brush 3.

[0048] Furthermore, the first drive mechanism 21 includes a reduction motor 211, a chain 212, and a counterweight 213. The reduction motor 211 is mounted on the crossbeam of the mounting frame 1. The chain 212 and counterweight 213 are installed at both ends of the top brush 3, that is, the chain 212 and counterweight 213 are arranged on both the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. Taking the first frame 11 as an example, the counterweight 213 is slidably connected to the first frame 11, and the chain 212 is wound around a sprocket mounted on the output shaft of the reduction motor 211. The first end of the chain 212 is connected to the mounting seat 31, and the second end of the chain 212 is connected to the counterweight 213. The counterweight 213 tightens the chain 212 to ensure that it does not fall off the sprocket. At the same time, the counterweight 213 offsets part of the weight of the top brush 3, reducing the output power of the reduction motor 211 when the top brush 3 moves upward, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0049] Further, see Figure 1 The reduction motor 211 includes a motor and a dual-axis reducer, and the first drive mechanism 21 also includes a driving lifting sprocket 214, a first driven lifting sprocket 215, and a second driven lifting sprocket 216. The dual-axis reducer is mounted on the mounting frame 1, with the motor's rotating shaft connected to the input end of the dual-axis reducer, and the driving lifting sprocket 214 is mounted at the output end of the dual-axis reducer. Similarly, a set of first driven lifting sprocket 215, driving lifting sprocket 214, and second driven lifting sprocket 216 are rotatably mounted on both the first frame 11 and the second frame 12, and the chain 212 passes through the first driven lifting sprocket 215, the driving lifting sprocket 214, and the second driven lifting sprocket 216 in sequence. When the car washer is not in operation, the top brush 3 rests directly above the vehicle. When cleaning begins, the motor, located in the center of the vehicle's upper portion, reverses to drive the active lift sprocket 214 to rotate. This rotation drives the chain 212, and due to gravity, the top brush 3 begins to move downward along the second slide rail 42, completing the cleaning process beneath the garbage loading and transport vehicle. After cleaning, the motor rotates forward to drive the active lift sprocket 214 to rotate. This rotation drives the chain 212, which pulls the top brush 3 upward along the second slide rail 42. A protective tube 5 is vertically mounted on the mounting frame 1, and a counterweight 213 is slidably mounted within the protective tube 5. This ensures that the counterweight 213 can always move vertically while preventing lateral swing that could damage the garbage loading and transport vehicle and personnel.

[0050] like Figure 2As shown, the lifting top brush car washing machine also includes a third drive mechanism 6, which is arranged on the mounting frame 1. The third drive mechanism 6 can drive the mounting frame 1 to move along the first slide rail 41. Specifically, the third drive mechanism 6 includes a set of walking driven wheels, a walking motor, a walking driving wheel, a walking driving sprocket and a walking driven sprocket, each of which is provided on the first frame 11 and the second frame 12. The car washing machine moves forward and backward by rotating the driving sprockets driven by a motor on each side, and the walking driving sprocket, which is integrated with the driven sprocket, is driven forward or backward along the walking track by the walking chain. The first drive mechanism 21 and the third drive mechanism 6 are controlled by the controller in a linked manner. During the cleaning process, no manual intervention is required, and the garbage loading and transport vehicle can be automatically cleaned, which greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lift-type top-brush car washer also includes multiple side brush mechanisms 7 arranged in pairs. These mechanisms include a side brush 71, a swing arm 72, a fourth drive mechanism 73, and a fifth drive mechanism 74. The side brush 71 has a vertically arranged rotational axis. The first end of the swing arm 72 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1, and the second end of the swing arm 72 is connected to the rotational axis of the side brush 71. The fourth drive mechanism 73 is mounted on the mounting frame 1 and is preferably a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. The fourth drive mechanism 73 is connected to the swing arm 72 to drive the swing arm 72 to rotate, thereby pressing the side brushes 71 against the left and right sides of the garbage truck. The fifth drive mechanism 74 is mounted on the swing arm 72 and connected to the rotational axis of the side brush 71 to rotate the side brushes 71. During cleaning, the mounting frame 1 moves along the length of the garbage truck, driving the side brushes 71 to scrub along the left and right sides of the truck's front and interior. Preferably, the side brushes 71 on the same side of the mounting frame 1 rotate in opposite directions to improve cleaning efficiency. The lifting top brush car washing machine also includes a pair of nozzles 8, which are arranged on the mounting frame 1. The nozzles 8 are connected to the water supply pipe. The nozzles of the nozzles 8 are facing the inside of the mounting frame 1. The nozzles 8 are used to spray cleaning liquid or clean water onto the garbage loading and transport vehicles located in the mounting frame 1, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
