Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this utility model discloses a novel integrated car wash trough, comprising a car wash trough body 1, a first sedimentation tank 5 disposed on the outer side of the car wash trough body 1, the car wash trough body 1 and the first sedimentation tank 5 being connected by a first drain pipe 4, the car wash trough body 1 including an inlet end 102 and an outlet end 101, the bottom walls of the outlet end 101 and the inlet end 102 being inclined upwards to form a boat-shaped car wash trough, a first pressure sensor 2 being installed on the bottom wall of the car wash trough body 1 near the outlet end 101, a first rinsing device 3 being installed on the two side walls of the car wash trough body 1 located between the inlet end 102 and the outlet end 101, and a second pressure sensor 12 and a second rinsing device 10 being installed on the bottom wall of the outlet end 101 of the car wash trough body 1, the first pressure sensor 2, the first rinsing device 3, the second pressure sensor 12, and the second rinsing device 10 being electrically connected to a controller. The controller is an MCS-51 microcontroller or microcomputer. The first pressure sensor 2, the first flushing device 3, the second pressure sensor 12, and the second flushing device 10 are electrically connected to the controller via signal lines. The first pressure sensor 2 and the second pressure sensor 12 are waterproofed and dustproofed. The first pressure sensor 2 and the second pressure sensor 12 have preset pressure thresholds to prevent accidental triggering of incorrect signals to the controller. The controller has a response cooling time; if the rear wheels of the vehicle pass over the first pressure sensor 2 and the second pressure sensor 12 again within a short period, the controller will not issue a flushing command to the first flushing device 3 and the second flushing device 10 again.

[0025] A novel integrated car wash trough based on the above structure is used for washing vehicles leaving construction sites. First washing devices 3 are installed on both side walls of the car wash trough body 1 between the vehicle inlet 102 and the vehicle outlet 101. A second washing device 10 is installed on the bottom wall of the vehicle outlet 101 of the car wash trough body 1. The first washing devices 3 and 10 are integrated with the car wash trough body 1, reducing the space occupied on the construction site and improving the space utilization rate. A first pressure sensor 2 is embedded in the bottom wall of the car wash trough body 1 near the vehicle outlet 101, and a second pressure sensor 12 is embedded in the bottom wall of the vehicle outlet 101 of the car wash trough body 1. The first pressure sensor 2, the first washing device 3, the second pressure sensor 12, and the second washing device 10 are electrically connected to a controller. When a vehicle leaving the construction site enters the car wash trough from the vehicle inlet 102 and slowly moves towards the vehicle outlet, when the front wheels of the vehicle press on the first pressure sensor 2, the first pressure sensor 2 sends a command to the controller. After receiving the command from the first pressure sensor 2, the controller adjusts the first pressure sensor 2 accordingly. The first washing device 3 issues a cleaning command, and automatically washes both sides of the vehicle. The vehicle continues to move slowly towards the exit end. When the front wheels of the vehicle press on the second pressure sensor 12, the second pressure sensor 12 sends a command to the controller. After receiving the command from the second pressure sensor 12, the controller sends a cleaning command to the second washing device 10. The second washing device 10 then automatically washes the bottom of the vehicle, completing the automatic washing of the exiting vehicle. The vehicle then exits the car wash tank without manual intervention, reducing the waste of manpower and improving the efficiency of vehicle washing. Wastewater is discharged into the first sedimentation tank 5 through the first drain pipe 4. This novel integrated car wash tank provides precise and rapid washing of vehicles exiting construction sites, preventing mud from being carried onto the road and polluting the environment, thus ensuring that the exiting vehicles meet environmental protection requirements.

[0026] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, two opposing first pressure sensors 2 are installed at the bottom of the car wash tank body 1 near the vehicle exit end 101.

[0027] Two opposing first pressure sensors 2 are installed at the bottom of the car wash tank body 1. The two first pressure sensors 2 are electrically connected to the controller. If one first pressure sensor 2 is damaged, the other first pressure sensor 2 can continue to work, ensuring the normal operation of the new integrated car wash tank.

[0028] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, two opposing second pressure sensors 12 are installed on the bottom wall of the vehicle exit end 101 of the car wash tank body 1.

[0029] Two opposing second pressure sensors 12 are installed on the bottom wall of the vehicle exit end 101 of the car wash tank body 1. The two second pressure sensors 12 are electrically connected to the controller. If one second pressure sensor 12 is damaged, the other second pressure sensor 12 can continue to work, ensuring the normal operation of the new integrated car wash tank.

[0030] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a drainage trough 11 is provided on the bottom wall of the vehicle outlet end 101 of the car wash tank body 1, and the drainage trough 11 is arranged facing the bottom of the car wash tank body 1.

[0031] A drainage trough 11 is provided on the bottom wall of the vehicle exit end 101 of the car wash tank body 1. The drainage trough 11 penetrates the upper surface of the bottom wall of the vehicle exit end 101 of the car wash tank body 1 and communicates with the car wash tank. Wastewater flows smoothly from the drainage trough 11 of the vehicle exit end 101 into the car wash tank and then into the first sedimentation tank 5, avoiding the second washing equipment 10 from being soaked in mud and mortar for a long time and causing blockage. There is at least one drainage trough 11, such as one or two.

[0032] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first sedimentation tank 5 is connected to the second sedimentation tank 7 through the second drain pipe 6. The bottom of the first sedimentation tank 5 is higher than the bottom of the second sedimentation tank 7. The inlet end of the second drain pipe 6 is higher than the outlet end of the second drain pipe 6. The second sedimentation tank 7 is connected to the third sedimentation tank 9 through the third drain pipe 8. The bottom of the second sedimentation tank 7 is higher than the bottom of the third sedimentation tank 9. The inlet end of the third drain pipe 8 is higher than the outlet end of the third drain pipe 8.

[0033] Wastewater undergoes a three-stage sedimentation process, consisting of a first sedimentation tank 5, a second sedimentation tank 7, and a third sedimentation tank 9, ensuring that the discharged wastewater meets standards and can be reused for cleaning. Filter screens are installed at the inlet ends of the first drain pipe 4, the second drain pipe 6, and the third drain pipe 8 to prevent clogging.

[0034] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the first washing device 3, located on both sides of the car wash tank body 1 between the vehicle inlet end 102 and the vehicle outlet end 101, is installed opposite to each other on the inner side of the car wash tank body 1.

[0035] The first rinsing device 3 is installed on the inner side of the car wash tank body 1 to clean the vehicle body and wheels, thereby improving the cleaning quality.

[0036] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the first rinsing device 3 and the second rinsing device 10 include a high-pressure water pump and a high-pressure water gun. The high-pressure water gun is connected to the corresponding high-pressure water pump through a water pipe, and the high-pressure water pump is electrically connected to the controller.

[0037] The high-pressure water pump operates at pressures between 70 and 150 bar, achieving highly efficient cleaning through the high-pressure water jet. Upon receiving a cleaning command, the controller activates a relay to connect the water pump's power circuit; once cleaning is complete, the controller disconnects the power circuit.

[0038] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun of the second washing device 10 is tilted upwards, the front wheel of the vehicle reaches the second pressure sensor 12, and the nozzle of the high-pressure water gun of the second washing device 10 is directed towards the bottom of the vehicle.

[0039] The nozzle of the high-pressure water gun of the second washing device 10 is directed toward the underside of the vehicle, and is mainly used for cleaning the underside of the vehicle.

[0040] The nozzle of the high-pressure water gun is a fan-shaped nozzle.

[0041] The high-pressure water gun with fan-shaped nozzles has a large and uniform spray impact, making it suitable for cleaning vehicles leaving the vehicle in this new integrated car wash tank.

[0042] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
