[0038] This disclosure relates to a car wash system, which includes a car wash platform, a rinsing device, and a sedimentation device. The car wash platform is used to park vehicles to be washed, and a car wash machine assembly is installed on the car wash platform. The rinsing device consists of an air supply device, a water supply device, and a T-junction. The three open ends of the T-junction are respectively connected to the air supply device, the water supply device, and a fluid pipeline. The gas in the air supply device and the liquid in the water supply device are supplied to the car wash machine through the fluid pipeline to rinse the vehicle to be washed. The sedimentation device is connected to the car wash platform, so that the rinsing water on the car wash platform flows back into the sedimentation device.
[0039] The car wash system disclosed herein features a washing device that includes an air supply unit, resulting in better atomization of the washing water and a wider coverage area. This not only improves the thoroughness of the cleaning but also reduces the direct impact on the vehicle's surface, avoiding the risk of scratches or damage to the paint. Furthermore, three sedimentation tanks are installed on one side of the washing platform to treat and recycle the washing water, thereby reducing water consumption.
[0040] For ease of understanding, please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 2 The specific structure and working principle of the car wash system disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to one embodiment.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this disclosure provides a car wash system, including: a car wash platform 1, a rinsing device, and a sedimentation device 7. The car wash platform 1 is used to park vehicles to be washed. A car wash machine assembly 2 is installed on the car wash platform 1 and is connected to a fluid pipeline 3 to rinse the vehicles to be washed. The rinsing device includes an air supply device 4, a water supply device 5, and a T-junction 6. The T-junction 6 has three open ends, referred to as a first open end 61, a second open end 62, and a third open end 63. The air supply device 4 is connected to the first open end 61, the water supply device 5 is connected to the second open end 62, and the fluid pipeline 3 is connected to the third open end 63. The gas in the air supply device 4 and the liquid in the water supply device 5 are supplied to the car wash machine assembly 2 through the fluid pipeline 3. The sedimentation device 7 is connected to the car wash platform 1, and the rinsing water on the car wash platform 1 flows back to the sedimentation device 7.
[0042] Specifically, this disclosure provides a car wash system that enables an efficient, environmentally friendly, and intelligent vehicle washing process. The system includes not only a traditional car wash platform 1, but also a flushing device with an additional air supply device 4 and a sedimentation device 7. The car wash platform 1 is the basic platform of the entire car wash system, mainly used for parking vehicles waiting to be washed. It not only provides a stable parking space for vehicles, but also integrates multiple car wash machine components 2, including multiple first car wash machines 21 set at the bottom of the car wash platform 1, and multiple second car wash machines 22 set on opposite sides of the car wash platform 1. The car wash machine components 2 are the core parts responsible for the actual cleaning work and are connected to the fluid pipeline 3. The flushing holes of the first car wash machines 21 are configured to face upwards, and the flushing holes of the second car wash machines 22 are configured to face the side of the vehicle to be washed, enabling comprehensive cleaning of the vehicle from different angles.
[0043] Furthermore, to enhance the stability of the car wash platform 1, the first car wash machine 21 is installed on the reinforced concrete surface layer 13. The reinforced concrete surface layer 13 not only provides a hard and flat surface to support the car wash platform 1 and its weight load during operation, but also possesses good durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring that the car wash platform 1 can operate stably for a long time under various weather conditions. From the reinforced concrete surface layer 13 downwards, different pad layers are sequentially arranged to enhance the stability and functionality of the overall structure. Specifically, these include a plain concrete pad layer 14 and a sand and gravel layer 15 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The plain concrete pad layer 14 can effectively disperse the pressure from the upper layer. The concrete cushion layer 14 has a certain drainage performance, which can reduce the impact of water on the underlying materials. The presence of the sand and gravel layer 15 helps to improve the load-bearing capacity of the entire structure. The gaps between the sand and gravel allow water to pass through smoothly, avoiding water accumulation problems. At the same time, it provides good air permeability for the upper structure, reducing potential problems caused by water retention. Finally, the sand and gravel layer 15 is laid directly on the original soil layer 16. The original soil layer 16 is untreated natural soil, which serves as the foundation of the car wash platform 1. Before construction, the original soil layer 16 is usually properly compacted and treated.
[0044] The rinsing device is responsible for mixing gas and liquid and supplying them to the car wash machine component 2 to achieve a high-efficiency cleaning effect. The device mainly includes an air supply device 4, a water supply device 5, and a three-way valve 6. The air supply device 4 consists of a gas cylinder 41, an air pump 42, and a first check valve 43. The water supply device 5 consists of a water tank 51, a water pump 52, and a second check valve 53. The air supply device 4 is connected to the first open end 61, the water supply device 5 is connected to the second open end 62, and the fluid pipeline 3 is connected to the third open end 63. This design allows the gas and liquid to be fully mixed in the three-way valve 6 to form a high-speed gas-liquid mixture, which is then transported to the car wash machine component 2 through the fluid pipeline 3. The specific principle is that the compressed gas (such as air or nitrogen) in the gas cylinder 41 meets the high-pressure water flow pumped out by the water pump 52 in the three-way valve 6 under the action of the air pump 42. The gas pushes the water flow to form a fine and uniform water mist. This dual-fluid jet technology not only improves the atomization effect of water, but also significantly enhances the cleaning power, especially when dealing with stubborn dirt.
[0045] The sedimentation device 7 is an important component of the car wash system. It is responsible for collecting and treating the rinsing water on the car wash platform 1, forming a closed-loop water circulation system. Specifically, the sedimentation device 7 is connected to one side of the car wash platform 1 via a ramp 10, and the car wash platform 1 is higher than the sedimentation device 7. Under the action of gravity, the rinsing water on the car wash platform 1 flows back to the sedimentation device 7 through the ramp 10 for sedimentation and filtration. The sedimentation device 7 has three sedimentation tanks connected in sequence, referred to as the primary sedimentation tank 71, the secondary sedimentation tank 72, and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73. The primary sedimentation tank 71 is connected to the car wash platform 1 via the ramp 10 and can effectively remove large particulate impurities from the rinsing water. The secondary sedimentation tank 72 can further settle silt and suspended solids. The rinsing water after two stages of sedimentation treatment enters the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 and can re-enter the water supply device 5 through the return water pipe 11 for use in the next car wash. The existence of the sedimentation device 7 can effectively save water resources.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the car wash machine assembly 2 includes a plurality of first car wash machines 21 located at the bottom of the car wash platform 1, with the rinsing holes of the first car wash machines 21 facing upwards; the car wash machine assembly 2 also includes a plurality of second car wash machines 22 located on opposite sides of the car wash platform 1, with the rinsing holes of the second car wash machines 22 facing the side of the vehicle to be washed.
[0047] Specifically, since the chassis, tires, and wheel arches are the areas where dirt most easily accumulates on a vehicle, multiple first car wash machines 21 are installed at the bottom of the car wash platform 1, and multiple second car wash machines 22 are installed on opposite sides of the car wash platform 1. The flushing holes of the first car wash machines 21 face upwards, while the flushing holes of the second car wash machines 22 face the side of the vehicle to be washed. This allows the car wash machine assembly 2 to thoroughly clean the vehicle. The flushing holes can directly spray high-pressure water mist, effectively removing mud, sand, and other dirt from the chassis, tires, and wheel arches, thereby preventing corrosion caused by long-term accumulation of dirt.
[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, a plurality of first car wash machines 21 and second car wash machines 22 are arranged at intervals along the length of the car wash platform 1.
[0049] Specifically, multiple first car wash machines 21 and second car wash machines 22 are arranged at intervals along the length of the car wash platform 1, ensuring that every part of the vehicle's bottom and sides can be evenly covered by the washing water, and that a thorough cleaning can be carried out regardless of the length of the vehicle. In addition, the interval arrangement can also form a drainage channel 17 between adjacent car wash machines, which helps the washing water on the car wash platform 1 to flow into the sedimentation device 7 through the drainage channel 17.
[0050] like Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the car wash system further includes a detection sensor 8, which is located at the driveway entrance of the car wash station 1 and is triggered when the vehicle to be washed travels to a predetermined position.
[0051] Specifically, there are usually two detection sensors 8 installed at the entrance of the car wash station 1. They can accurately monitor the position of the vehicle. When the vehicle to be washed drives to the predetermined position, the detection sensor 8 is triggered. The detection sensor 8 uses advanced infrared, ultrasonic or laser ranging technology to accurately sense the position of the vehicle. Once the vehicle reaches the predetermined position, the sensor will immediately send an electrical signal to the control unit to start the operation of the car wash machine component 2. The detection sensor 8 enables the car wash system to automatically detect and perform the cleaning work, effectively saving manpower.
[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the car wash system further includes a control unit. The control unit controls multiple first car wash machines 21 arranged along the length of the car wash platform 1 to turn on sequentially according to the electrical signal triggered by the detection sensor 8, and controls multiple second car wash machines 22 arranged along the length of the car wash platform 1 to turn on sequentially.
[0053] Specifically, in practical application, when the vehicle reaches the predetermined position, the detection sensor 8 is triggered and sends an electrical signal to the control unit. After receiving the electrical signal, the control unit controls the multiple first car wash machines 21 arranged at the bottom of the car wash platform 1 to start sequentially, and simultaneously controls the multiple second car wash machines 22 arranged on both sides of the car wash platform 1 to start sequentially. Each first car wash machine 21 and second car wash machine 22 starts sequentially according to a preset time interval. According to the preset time parameters, the control unit controls the water supply device 5 and the air supply device 4 to supply liquid to the first car wash machine 21 and the second car wash machine 22 for a predetermined time. After the predetermined time of the water supply device 5 ends, the control unit automatically closes the first check valve 43 to stop the water supply. At this time, the air supply device 4 is not closed, and the flushing holes continue to spray gas to dry the vehicle. After the predetermined time of the air supply device 4 ends, the control unit automatically closes the second check valve 53 to stop the gas supply. At this time, the cleaning work is completed, and the driver can drive the vehicle away from the car wash platform 1. The control unit controls the car wash machine components 2 to start sequentially, and controls the water supply device 5 and the air supply device 4 according to the preset time. This can enhance the atomization effect of the washing water and provide drying service for the vehicles to be washed, so that most of the washing water can remain on the car wash platform 1 and enter the subsequent sedimentation device 7 for recycling, thereby further saving water resources.
[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, after the control unit controls the water supply device 5 and the air supply device 4 to supply liquid to the first car wash machine 21 and the second car wash machine 22 for a predetermined time, it controls the water supply device 5 and the air supply device 4 to shut down.
[0055] Specifically, the control unit can control the first check valve 43 and the second check valve 53 to supply liquid to the first car wash machine 21 and the second car wash machine 22 respectively. The predetermined time of the water supply device 5 is different from that of the air supply device 4. The predetermined time of the air supply device 4 is longer than that of the water supply device 5. That is to say, when the predetermined time of the water supply device 5 ends, the control unit controls the first check valve 43 to close. At this time, the second check valve 53 remains open. The flushing hole no longer outputs flushing water, but outputs gas to dry the vehicle to be washed. When the predetermined time of the air supply device 4 ends, the control unit controls the second check valve 53 to close, and the cleaning work ends.
[0056] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, a steel cover plate 9 is provided on the car wash platform 1, and a first car wash machine 21 is located below the steel cover plate 9. The steel cover plate 9 is provided with an opening that allows washing water to pass through.
[0057] Specifically, a steel cover plate 9 is laid on the car wash platform 1, and the first car wash machine 21 is set under the steel cover plate 9. The steel cover plate 9 is provided with multiple openings that allow the washing water to pass through. These openings are usually arranged in a grid or strip pattern to ensure that the washing water can pass through smoothly and be sprayed onto the vehicle to be washed. The design of the openings can ensure smooth water flow and prevent debris from entering and affecting the normal operation of the first car wash machine 21.
[0058] Furthermore, the steel cover plate 9 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant steel, and its surface is treated with anti-slip material, which not only ensures the safety of vehicle driving but also extends its service life. In addition, the steel cover plate 9 can withstand a large weight and is suitable for various types of vehicles. A complete drainage channel 17 is provided under the steel cover plate 9 to ensure that the washing water can be discharged quickly and avoid water accumulation. The drainage channel 17 is connected to the sedimentation device 7 through the ramp 10 to form a closed-loop water circulation system, which further saves water resources and reduces environmental pollution.
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the sedimentation device 7 includes three sedimentation tanks arranged adjacent to each other, referred to as a primary sedimentation tank 71, a secondary sedimentation tank 72 and a tertiary sedimentation tank 73 connected in sequence. One side of the primary sedimentation tank 71 is connected to the car wash platform 1 via a ramp 10, and the primary sedimentation tank 71 is lower than the car wash platform 1.
[0060] Specifically, the primary sedimentation tank 71 is located on one side of the car wash platform 1 and is connected to the car wash platform 1 via the ramp 10. It is lower than the car wash platform 1. This design allows the rinsing water to flow naturally into the primary sedimentation tank 71 without the need for additional power equipment. The main function of the primary sedimentation tank 71 is to initially settle large particles of impurities. The primary sedimentation tank 71 is connected to the secondary sedimentation tank 72 via the first overflow port 711. The main function of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 is to further settle smaller particles, such as suspended solids and fine sand. A filter screen can be installed in the tank to effectively intercept these tiny particles and ensure further purification of the water quality. The secondary sedimentation tank 72 is connected to the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 via the second overflow port 721. The water entering the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 can re-enter the water supply device 5 for use in the next car wash.
[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, a first overflow port 711 is provided on the side wall of the primary sedimentation tank 71 away from the car wash platform 1, and the first overflow port 711 is used to connect the primary sedimentation tank 71 and the secondary sedimentation tank 72; a second overflow port 721 is provided on the side wall of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 away from the car wash platform 1, and the second overflow port 721 is used to connect the secondary sedimentation tank 72 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73; a third overflow port 731 is provided on the side wall of the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 away from the car wash platform 1, and the third overflow port 731 is connected to the water supply device 5 through the return water pipe 11.
[0062] Specifically, the sedimentation tanks are connected in sequence through overflow outlets. Water is guided from the primary sedimentation tank 71 into the secondary sedimentation tank 72 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 by natural gravity, and finally sent back to the water supply device 5 through the return water pipe 11. The overflow outlets not only simplify the system structure, but also reduce energy consumption and further improve environmental benefits. The overflow outlet design ensures that the water level in each sedimentation tank is not too high, avoiding overflow caused by excessive water level. The primary function of the primary sedimentation tank 71 is to initially settle large particulate impurities. The primary sedimentation tank 71 is connected to the secondary sedimentation tank 72 through the first overflow port 711. The primary function of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 is to further settle smaller particulate matter, such as suspended solids and fine sand. A filter screen can be installed in the tank to effectively intercept these tiny particles and ensure further purification of the water quality. The secondary sedimentation tank 72 is connected to the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 through the second overflow port 721. The water entering the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 can re-enter the water supply device 5 for use in the next car wash. The third overflow port 731 is connected to the water supply device 5 through the return water pipe 11. A return water pump 12 is installed on the return water pipe 11 to ensure that the purified rinsing water can be returned to the water supply system.
[0063] Furthermore, sludge discharge pipes are installed at the bottom of the sedimentation device. Their function is to safely and efficiently discharge the settled sludge from the bottom of the tank. The sludge discharge pipes are evenly distributed along the bottom of the sedimentation device to ensure that sludge in all areas can be effectively collected. In order to prevent sludge from accumulating and causing blockage in the pipes, the sludge discharge pipes are set at a certain angle to ensure that the sludge can flow smoothly. In addition, some sludge discharge pipes are equipped with screw propellers or other types of pumping equipment to enhance the fluidity of the sludge.
[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the depth of the primary sedimentation tank 71 is greater than that of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73.
[0065] Specifically, the depth of the primary sedimentation tank 71 is greater than that of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73. The depth of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 is the same as that of the tertiary sedimentation tank 73. The greater depth of the primary sedimentation tank 71 provides sufficient settling space for large particles of impurities. The greater depth allows heavier impurities such as silt and leaves to have enough time and space to settle to the bottom, preventing them from entering subsequent sedimentation tanks with the water flow and reducing the burden on the secondary sedimentation tank 72. The main function of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 is to further settle smaller particles, such as suspended solids and fine sand. A filter screen can be installed in the tank to effectively intercept these tiny particles and ensure further purification of the water quality. Since the flushing water after two stages of sedimentation treatment can basically meet the recycling standards, setting the depth of the secondary sedimentation tank 72 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 to be the same can reduce the construction difficulty. The flushing water in the tertiary sedimentation tank 73 is recycled back to the water supply device 5 through the return water pipeline, forming a closed water circulation system.
[0066] The car wash system provided in this disclosure features a washing device that includes an air supply unit, resulting in better atomization of the washing water sprayed by the car wash machine and a wider coverage area. This not only improves the thoroughness of the cleaning but also reduces the direct impact on the vehicle surface, avoiding the risk of scratches or damage to the paint. A first car wash machine is installed at the bottom of the car wash platform, and second car wash machines are installed on both sides to achieve comprehensive cleaning of the car body and wheel rims. Furthermore, three sedimentation tanks are installed on one side of the car wash platform to treat and recycle the washing water, thereby reducing water consumption.
