Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of construction equipment cleaning technology, specifically to a car wash machine. Background Technology

[0002] Construction vehicles transporting mud and sand often need to be cleaned with car wash machines. These car wash machines are generally gantry tunnel type, which spray and wash the vehicles in sequence inside the tunnel and use brush rollers to clean the vehicle surface. Currently, multiple rows of spray heads are set up along the length of the tunnel in the washing section, with each row of spray heads facing the sides and top of the vehicle.

[0003] While thorough washing is achieved by rinsing vehicles as they pass through, it consumes a large amount of water. To conserve water, some car washes only have one row of spray nozzles in the rinsing section, requiring the driver to maneuver the vehicle extremely slowly through the rinsing section. This method effectively reduces water consumption, but the driver needs to control the vehicle speed during this process. If the speed is slightly too fast, the vehicle may not be properly rinsed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the above-mentioned technologies, this utility model provides a car wash machine, including a rectangular tunnel supported by a frame. The tunnel is divided into a flushing section and a cleaning section from front to back. Multiple brush rollers are installed in the cleaning section. A suspension block with screw holes and through holes is installed on the upper part of the flushing section. A horizontal screw and guide rod are installed on the upper part of the flushing section along its length. The guide rod passes through the through hole, and the screw is installed in the screw hole. The screw is driven by a drive device.

[0005] A connecting pipe is fixed vertically on the bottom surface of the suspended block. A portal-shaped pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe. Multiple nozzles are provided on the bottom surface of the horizontal section of the portal-shaped pipe and the opposite surfaces of the two vertical sections. The horizontal section of the portal-shaped pipe extends along the width of the tunnel. The connecting pipe is connected to the water supply pump through a flexible hose.

[0006] The bottom surface of the tunnel is a grid plate.

[0007] The driving device is a motor.

[0008] A roller shutter door is installed at the front end of the tunnel.

[0009] In this design, a strip plate is provided on the inner side of the roller shutter door below the screw. The strip plate is arranged along the width direction of the tunnel. The end of the strip plate near the roller shutter door is inclined downward. The height of the strip plate is lower than the horizontal section of the door tube. There is a gap between the strip plate and the roller shutter door.

[0010] Both ends of the strip plate are fixedly connected to the frame by fixing rods.

[0011] The fixed rod is provided with a horizontal bar extending toward the rear end of the tunnel;

[0012] A horizontal pipe with a closed end, extending toward the front end of the tunnel, is connected to the vertical section of the frame, and the horizontal pipe is directly opposite the crossbar.

[0013] A sliding plate is slidably disposed inside the horizontal tube. The sliding plate is connected to the end of the horizontal tube by a spring. Magnetic pieces are disposed at the end of the sliding plate near the spring and at the end of the horizontal bar. The two magnetic pieces repel each other.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The car wash machine provided by this utility model washes vehicles through a reciprocating gantry tube and multiple nozzles thereon, which can spray cleaning water evenly with less water consumption, saving resources and achieving better cleaning results.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a car wash machine provided in the embodiment includes a rectangular tunnel supported by a frame 1. The frame 1 is covered with a color steel plate to form the tunnel. To clearly show the internal structure, the color steel plate is hidden in the figure. The tunnel is divided into a washing section 11 and a cleaning section 12 connected from front to back. Multiple brush rollers 121 are provided in the cleaning section 12. The washing section 11 washes the vehicle with spray water, and then the cleaning section 12 wipes the vehicle with brush rollers 121. The above is a conventional setting in the relevant technical field.

[0032] The inventive point of this application is that a suspension block 3 with screw holes and through holes is provided on the upper part of the rinsing section 11, and a horizontal screw 31 and guide rod 32 are provided on the upper part of the rinsing section 11 along the length direction. The two ends of the screw 31 are rotatably connected to the frame 1, and the two ends of the guide rod 32 are fixedly connected to the frame 1. The guide rod 32 passes through the through hole, and the screw 31 is provided in the screw hole. The screw 31 is driven by a driving device, which can be a motor 4 provided on the frame 1.

[0033] A vertical connecting pipe 21 is fixed to the bottom surface of the suspension block 3. A portal-shaped pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting pipe 21. Multiple nozzles 9 are installed on the bottom surface of the horizontal section and the opposite surfaces of the two vertical sections of the portal-shaped pipe 2. The bottom ends of the two vertical sections are closed, and their top ends are connected to both ends of the horizontal section. The horizontal section of the portal-shaped pipe 2 extends along the tunnel width direction. The connecting pipe 21 is connected to the water supply pump via a flexible hose. The flexible hose passes through the top of the tunnel. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, one end of the hose passes through point A on the suspension block 3 and connects to the vertical pipe 21. The part of the hose inside the tunnel should have a certain length so that the suspension block 3 can move with that end of the hose. The bottom surface of the tunnel is a grid plate 13.

[0034] When in use, the vehicle first enters the washing section 11, the water pump is started, and water is sprayed from multiple nozzles 9. Then the motor 4 is started to rotate in both directions, causing the suspension block 3 to drive the gantry tube 2 to move back and forth to wash the vehicle. The washing water falls below the grid plate 13 of the suspension. After washing, there is a short wait for the water to drain. Then the vehicle is moved to the cleaning section and the surface is cleaned by the brush roller 121. After that, the vehicle can be driven out of the tunnel. After use at the end of the day, the water pump and motor 4 are started again to clean the grid plate 13.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a roller shutter door 8 can be installed at the front end of the tunnel for easy management. However, due to the high humidity in the washing section, after the roller shutter door 2 is lowered, ice will form on the curtain of the roller shutter door 2 after a night of low temperature, making it impossible to raise smoothly the next day.

[0036] Therefore, a strip plate 5 can be installed on the inside of the roller shutter door 8 below the screw 31. The strip plate 5 is installed along the tunnel width direction. The end of the strip plate 5 near the roller shutter door 8 is inclined downward. The height of the strip plate 5 is lower than the horizontal section of the door tube 2. There is a gap between the strip plate 5 and the roller shutter door 8.

[0037] Both ends of the strip plate 5 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 by fixing rods 51.

[0038] A horizontal bar 52 extending toward the rear end of the tunnel is provided on the fixed rod 51;

[0039] The upper part of the vertical section of frame 1 is connected to a horizontal pipe 6 that extends towards the front end of the tunnel and is closed at the end. The horizontal pipe 6 is directly opposite the horizontal bar 52.

[0040] A sliding plate 61 is slidably installed inside the horizontal tube 6. The sliding plate 61 is connected to the end of the horizontal tube 6 via a spring 62. Magnetic pieces 7 are installed at the end of the sliding plate 61 near the spring 62 and at the end of the horizontal bar 52. The two magnetic pieces 7 repel each other.

[0041] Before opening the roller shutter door 2 the next day, when the temperature is above zero, move the gate tube 2 towards the front end of the tunnel. When the two magnetic plates 7 approach each other, they generate a repulsive force, which pushes out the sliding plate 61 to cut off the vertical section of the gate tube 2. Start the water pump so that water is sprayed only from the nozzle 9 of the horizontal section of the gate tube 2. At this time, the sprayed water falls on the strip plate 5 and is guided to the upper part of the door curtain to wash and melt the ice on the door curtain.

[0042] Then the gate tube 2 is removed, and the sliding plate 61 retracts into the horizontal tube 6 under the action of the spring 62.

[0043] In addition, another roller shutter door can be installed at the rear end of the tunnel. Since there is no sprinkler system in the cleaning section 12, this other roller shutter door will not have any icing problems.

[0044] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
