Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of car wash equipment, and in particular relates to a device for preventing vehicles from veering off course in a car wash machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current car wash machines typically prevent vehicles from veering off course during the washing process by installing two steel pipes on the ground on either side of the vehicle. When the driver's wheels come into contact with these pipes, the steering wheel encounters resistance, prompting the driver to turn the steering wheel in the opposite direction. While this method is simple, there is a risk that the driver may not feel the resistance and could drive over the guardrails. If the car wash machine is still operating normally at this time, the driver may not realize the error and the vehicle could collide with the machine, causing damage to both the equipment and the vehicle, and in severe cases, even personal injury to the driver.

[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a vehicle deviating device for a car wash machine includes a car wash machine body 1, a plurality of washing rollers 2 fixedly installed inside the car wash machine body 1, and an anti-deviation mechanism provided inside the car wash machine body 1 below the washing rollers 2. The anti-deviation mechanism is located on the right side of the bottom of the car wash machine body 1, and a guide component is provided at the inlet on one side of the anti-deviation mechanism.

[0026] The anti-deviation mechanism includes two parallel limiting components. Each limiting component includes a first limiting rod 4 and a second limiting rod 6. A detection component is also provided between the first limiting rod 4 and the second limiting rod 6. Plugs are fixedly installed at both ends of the first limiting rod 4 and the second limiting rod 6, respectively. Each limiting component has four plugs. Each plug includes a disc body 8. A threaded rod 82 is fixed at the center of the outer side of the disc body 8. Four locking holes 81 are provided on the disc body 8, and the four locking holes 81 are arranged in a ring.

[0027] Each of the four end caps is equipped with a rotating component, and the four rotating components are connected in series by a connecting rod 5. Four first connecting plates 41 are fixed to one side of the first limiting rod 4, and the first connecting plates 41 are fixed to the hardened ground by bolts. Four second connecting plates 61 are fixed to one side of the second limiting rod 6, and the second connecting plates 61 are fixed to the hardened ground by bolts.

[0028] The detection component includes a fixing plate 7, one side of which is fixed to the hardened ground by bolts. A protective cover 71 is fixed to the upper end of the fixing plate 7. The protective cover 71 has an arc-shaped structure. A support plate is fixed to the fixing plate 7 below the protective cover 71. The top of the support plate contacts the protective cover 71. The protective cover 71 does not affect the rotation of the connecting rod 5. A photoelectric sensor 10 is fixed to the support plate by bolts. The photoelectric sensor 10 works in conjunction with the photoelectric sensor plate 11.

[0029] The rotating component includes a torsion spring fitted on the threaded rod 82. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the locking hole 81 of the disc body 8, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the flipping rod 9. The flipping rod 9 is fitted on the threaded rod 82, and the threaded rod 82 is locked and fixed to the flipping rod 9 by bolts. This can prevent the flipping rod 9 from slipping off the threaded rod 82. The torsion spring is located between the flipping rod 9 and the plug. The flipping rod 9 has a sleeve hole with a diameter larger than that of the threaded rod 82, which can facilitate the rotation of the flipping rod 9 on the threaded rod 82. The diameter of the bolt that fixes the flipping rod 9 is larger than that of the sleeve hole, which can lock the flipping rod 9 in place.

[0030] A through hole is provided on one side of the flip rod 9, and the connecting rod 5 is located in the through hole and rotates within the through hole. The upper end of the flip rod 9 is folded outward to form a first connecting part 91. A photoelectric sensor plate 11 is fixed to the first connecting part 91 by bolts. The photoelectric sensor plate 11 is in an L-shaped structure, and the top of the photoelectric sensor plate 11 does not exceed the top of the first limiting rod 4, so as to prevent the vehicle from crushing the photoelectric sensor plate 11. The lower end of the flip rod 9 is folded outward to form a second connecting part 92. A limiting component is provided on the second connecting part 92. The limiting component is opened in a threaded hole on the second connecting part 92, and a limiting screw 93 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole. When the limiting screw 93 rotates, it can adjust the flip angle of the flip rod 9. When the limiting rod contacts the ground, the flip rod 9 stops rotating. This can prevent the connecting rod 5 from flipping to the other side of the first limiting rod 4 and the second limiting rod 6, and can play a certain role in protecting the torsion spring.

[0031] The guide assembly includes two guide rods 3, which are arranged in a figure-eight shape at the entrance of the anti-vehicle deviation mechanism. The fixing part 31 on one side of the guide rod 3 is fixed to the hardened ground by bolts, which can enable the vehicle to enter the anti-vehicle deviation mechanism as quickly and accurately as possible.

[0032] Working principle: During use, the vehicle enters the anti-deviation mechanism via the guide rod 3. When the driver misoperates and the vehicle deviates, the wheel crosses the first limit rod 4 or the second limit rod 6 and presses against the connecting rod 5. At this time, the connecting rod 5 moves downward, which drives the flipping rod 9 to rotate. The flipping rod 9 then drives the photoelectric sensor plate 11 to move. When the photoelectric sensor plate 11 moves, the photoelectric sensor 10 becomes misaligned. The sensing signal of the photoelectric sensor 10 changes from disconnected to connected, which immediately triggers a system alarm. At this time, the car wash machine body 1 stops working, and all the washing rollers 2 inside the car wash machine body 1 return to the open state to prevent the vehicle from colliding with the washing rollers 2 of the car wash machine body 1 and causing an accident.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention.
