Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of car wash machine technology, specifically relating to an automatic car wash track. Background Technology
[0002] Car wash machines can be classified into two types according to their working method: tunnel type and reciprocating type. Tunnel type car wash machines are stationary, and cars are slowly moved through the working area of the car wash machine by being dragged by the machine. The car wash machine achieves the working method of cleaning cars according to a corresponding instruction program, such as: continuous tunnel car wash machine; large tunnel cleaning machine. Reciprocating type car wash machines are stationary, and the car wash machine moves back and forth on the guide rail according to a certain program while executing car wash instructions, such as: gantry reciprocating car wash machine, mobile car wash machine, etc.
[0003] Chinese patent application number 202223243028.7 discloses a synchronous transmission device for a car wash machine, which uses a gear segment and a toothed track area that cooperate with each other to realize the synchronous movement of the car wash machine's walking frame through the meshing of the gear segment and the toothed track area.
[0004] Currently, most car wash machine tracks on the market are not made of C-shaped steel, but are mainly made of square steel pipes cut into shape. Because the cutting area of square pipes is large, the cut surface is severely deformed after cutting. The crane will run frequently on this track cut surface for a long time, which will lead to unstable operation and inability to guarantee the walking accuracy. In the long run, there may even be a danger of insufficient support. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problem of poor stability of existing track supports in the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic car wash track that combines the track with rollers 1 and 2 to improve the stability of the overhead crane. The specific technical solution is as follows: An automatic car wash track includes: a track, which is a C-shaped steel structure, and two tracks. An overhead crane body is positioned between the two tracks. Two mounting plates 1 are symmetrically installed on the top of the overhead crane body, each corresponding to a track 1. The top of each mounting plate 1 extends into the interior of the track. Two rotating shafts 1 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the top of each mounting plate 1. Rollers 1 are fixedly fitted onto the outer wall of each rotating shaft 1. Two mounting holes are symmetrically opened on the side wall of each mounting plate 1, and rotating shafts 2 are rotatably fitted into these holes. Rollers 2 are fixedly fitted onto both ends of each rotating shaft 2, and the two rollers 2 are in contact with the inner bottom wall of the track.
[0006] Preferably, a drive mechanism is provided on the top of the crane body, and the drive mechanism is used for the crane body to move on the travel track.
[0007] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes: a timing belt, a second mounting plate, a motor, a third rotating shaft, and a timing pulley. A timing belt is fixedly installed on one side of the traveling track. A second mounting plate is fixedly installed on the top of the crane body. The second mounting plate is close to the timing belt. A motor is fixedly installed on the side of the second mounting plate away from the timing belt. A third rotating shaft is installed at the output end of the motor. The end of the third rotating shaft away from the motor extends rotatably out of the second mounting plate. A timing pulley is fixedly fitted on the end of the third rotating shaft away from the motor. The timing pulley meshes with the timing belt.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting plate two is symmetrically rotatably connected to two rotating shafts four on the side near the synchronous belt. An auxiliary wheel is fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft four, and the two auxiliary wheels are in contact with the synchronous belt.
[0009] Preferably, the crane body is equipped with four fans.
[0010] Preferably, protective shells are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the crane body, and the protective shells are used to protect the crane body.
[0011] In addition, the automatic car wash track in the above-mentioned technical solution provided by this utility model may also have the following features: multiple connectors are installed on the top of the track.
[0012] In the above technical solution, the connector is used to fix the walking track.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the automatic car wash track of this utility model has the following advantages: By setting rollers one and two inside the track, the main body of the overhead crane will not deviate during operation, providing high support strength, preventing tipping, and offering good correction. Furthermore, by using a C-shaped steel structure, cold-pressing the C-shaped steel into the track, the strength and support capacity of the C-shaped material are far superior to that of square tubes, ensuring that the running surface will not deform due to prolonged load-bearing, thus enhancing its practicality.

Rotating shaft 7 is rotatably mounted in the mounting holes. Rotating shaft 5 and rotating shaft 7 are arranged perpendicularly. Rollers 8 are fixedly mounted on both ends of rotating shaft 7. The two rollers 8 are in contact with the inner bottom wall of the traveling track 1. The crane body 2 moves along the length of the traveling track 1 through the rollers 8. Rollers 6 have a correction function. When the crane body 2 deviates to one side, rollers 6 are in contact with the inner wall of one side of the traveling track 1 to prevent the crane body 2 from deviating.
[0021] As a preferred option, the top of the crane body 2 is provided with a drive mechanism 3, which is used for the crane body 2 to move on the travel track 1.
[0022] As a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 further includes: a synchronous belt 31, a second mounting plate 32, a motor 33, a third rotating shaft 34, and a synchronous pulley 35. A synchronous belt 31 is fixedly installed on one side of a traveling track 1, and the synchronous belt 31 is arranged parallel to the traveling track 1. A second mounting plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the crane body 2, and the second mounting plate 32 is close to the synchronous belt 31 and arranged parallel to the synchronous belt 31. A motor 33 is fixedly installed on the side of the second mounting plate 32 away from the synchronous belt 31, and the motor 33 is located at the center of the second mounting plate 32. A third rotating shaft 34 is installed at the output end of the motor 33. The end of the third rotating shaft 34 away from the motor 33 extends out of the second mounting plate 32. A synchronous pulley 35 is fixedly fitted on the end of the third rotating shaft 34 away from the motor 33, and the synchronous pulley 35 meshes with the synchronous belt 31.
[0023] As a preferred option, further, the mounting plate 2 32 is symmetrically rotatably connected to two rotating shafts 4 36 on the side near the synchronous belt 31. The two rotating shafts 4 36 are located on the front and rear sides of the rotating shaft 34. Auxiliary wheels 37 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shafts 4 36. The two auxiliary wheels 37 are in contact with the synchronous belt 31, and the auxiliary wheels 37 are in contact with the smooth surface of the synchronous belt 31.
[0024] As a preferred option, four fans 9 are installed on the main body 2 of the crane. The four fans 9 are divided into two groups, and the output ports of the fans 9 are set downwards.
[0025] As a preferred option, protective shells 10 are fixedly installed on both the front and rear sides of the crane body 2. The protective shells 10 are used to protect the crane body 2.
[0026] As a preferred option, two connectors 11 are installed on the top of the walking track 1. The connectors 11 are used to fix the walking track 1. The connectors 11 are I-shaped structures, so as to install the walking track 1 on the upright.
[0027] The crane body, fan, and motor in this case are existing technologies. The crane body and motor are the same structure and connection method as those in the cited documents. The output end of the motor can rotate in both directions. As long as the crane body, fan, and motor meet the requirements of this case, they are all acceptable and not limited to a single model.
[0028] Working principle: All electrical components mentioned in this application are connected to an external power supply and control switch during use. After the utility model is installed, first check the installation, fixation, and safety protection of the utility model, and then it can be used. During use, start the motor 33, which drives the rotating shaft 34 to rotate. The rotating shaft 34 drives the synchronous pulley 35 to rotate. The synchronous pulley 35 engages with the synchronous belt 31, causing the crane body 2 to move between the travel tracks 1. The roller 8 rolls inside the travel track 1, causing the crane body 2 to move along the direction of the travel track 1. When the crane body 2 is about to deviate during the movement, the roller 6 fits against the inner wall of one side of the travel track 1 to prevent the crane body 2 from continuing to deviate. This allows the crane body 2 to automatically correct its deviation during the movement, improving the support strength. The travel track 1 is a C-shaped steel structure. The C-shaped steel is cold-pressed to form this track. Since the strength and support capacity of the C-shaped material is much higher than that of the square tube cut profile, it ensures that the running plane will not deform due to long-term load.
