Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of car wash equipment technology, specifically relating to an automatic car wash machine for cleaning the interior of a car. Background Technology

[0002] In the car wash industry, traditional car wash machines have long focused on cleaning the exterior of vehicles, while cleaning the interior mainly relies on manual operation. The common method is for workers to enter the vehicle and use handheld spray guns. This model has many serious drawbacks: In terms of efficiency, taking a truck as an example, its cargo space is large and the loading area is wide. Workers need to use handheld spray guns to meticulously scrub various parts, a process that is complex and time-consuming. Cleaning the interior of a typical van often takes several hours, greatly limiting the overall efficiency and throughput of the car wash business. This results in a limited number of vehicles that a car wash can serve per unit of time, and excessively long customer wait times negatively impact the customer experience. In terms of labor intensity, this is physically demanding work. Workers endure the recoil while holding a spray gun for extended periods inside the vehicle, maintaining a constant level of physical exertion. Moving comfortably between cargo residue and complex structures can easily lead to physical fatigue. Safety hazards cannot be ignored. The complex environment inside the truck may contain sharp objects and chemicals, posing risks of cuts and poisoning to workers. Poor ventilation can cause moisture and cleaning agent evaporation to accumulate, harming workers' health. Cleaning at heights also carries the risk of falls. In terms of cleaning quality, variations in manual operation lead to inconsistent results. Different workers have different techniques, force, and concentration levels, making it difficult to standardize the cleaning effect inside the truck. Many corners are easily overlooked. In addition, the variety of goods transported by trucks and the diverse types of stains on the truck bed make it difficult for manual cleaning to accurately target the characteristics of the stains, increasing the difficulty and complexity of ensuring high-quality cleaning results. Meanwhile, the internal space of the vehicle compartment is extremely complex. The size, shape and internal layout of the compartments of different vehicle models vary greatly, which brings many obstacles to the development of automatic cleaning equipment. The compartments of vans are long and open, and there may be multiple layers of shelves or rope hooks inside, which increases the blind spots for cleaning. The compartments of small enclosed vans are narrow and compact, making it difficult for cleaning equipment to be deployed. The internal structure and materials of special purpose vehicles such as refrigerated trucks are unique. Not only must the cleaning effect be guaranteed, but the impact on the refrigeration equipment and the insulation performance of the compartment must also be considered. Utility Model Content

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic car wash machine for cleaning the interior of a vehicle, including a nozzle 1 and a water pump (the water pump is a known prior art product and is not shown in the figure). The nozzle 1 is connected to the water pump through a pipe. The nozzle 1 is connected to an automatic cleaning device. The automatic cleaning device includes a telescopic arm 2. The nozzle 1 is connected to the end of the telescopic arm 2. A controller (the controller is a known prior art product and is not shown in the figure) is provided near the telescopic arm 2. The controller is connected to the telescopic arm 2 through a wire or a wireless communication module.

[0018] With the above structure, the operator can remotely control the movement of the telescopic arm 2 with the help of the controller, and then accurately adjust the position of the nozzle 1 without having to manually approach the carriage to operate. This not only improves the safety of operation, but also greatly enhances the flexibility of the cleaning operation, allowing the nozzle 1 to quickly reach any area to be cleaned in the carriage, thus significantly improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0019] In this embodiment, the automatic cleaning device further includes a lifting platform 3, and the telescopic arm 2 includes a fixed end 4 and a movable end 5. The fixed end 4 is connected to the platform of the lifting platform 3, and the lifting platform 3 is connected to the controller via a wire or a wireless communication module.

[0020] With the above structure, the lifting platform 3 can be flexibly raised and lowered under the control of the controller. It can quickly and accurately adjust the height of the telescopic arm 2 and the nozzle 1 according to the height of different car compartments, ensuring that the car wash machine is suitable for car compartments of various heights, expanding the applicability of the equipment, and avoiding the situation where cleaning is not in place due to differences in car compartment height.

[0021] In this embodiment, a proximity sensor 6 is provided at the active end 5, and the proximity sensor 6 is connected to the controller via a wire or a wireless communication module.

[0022] With the above structure, the proximity sensor 6 can monitor the distance between the movable end 5 of the telescopic arm 2 and the internal structure of the vehicle compartment in real time and promptly feed the data back to the controller. When the distance is too close, the controller quickly adjusts the movement of the telescopic arm 2, effectively preventing the telescopic arm 2 and the nozzle 1 from colliding with the internal structure of the vehicle compartment, protecting the car wash equipment, reducing the risk of equipment damage, and ensuring the smooth progress of the cleaning process, avoiding interruption of the cleaning due to collision.

[0023] In this embodiment, the nozzle 1 is a rotating nozzle 1.

[0024] With the above structure, under the action of high-pressure water flow and cleaning medium mixture, the rotating nozzle 1 can rotate at high speed and spray the mixture into the interior of the car in a multi-angle and all-round manner. Compared with the ordinary fixed nozzle 1, the rotating nozzle 1 greatly increases the cleaning coverage area, can more thoroughly clean every corner of the interior of the car, effectively improve the cleaning quality, and reduce cleaning blind spots.

[0025] In this embodiment, the controller is connected to a human-computer interaction screen (the human-computer interaction screen is a well-known existing technology product and is not shown in the figure).

[0026] With the above structure, operators can easily input cleaning commands through the human-machine interface screen, such as setting the cleaning mode, adjusting the motion parameters of the telescopic arm 2 and the lifting platform 3, etc. The human-machine interface screen can also display the working status and fault information of the car wash machine in real time, which greatly optimizes the user experience of the operators, reduces the difficulty of operation, and makes it convenient for operators to flexibly adjust the working parameters of the car wash machine according to the actual situation. It also enables them to keep abreast of the equipment's operating status, which is convenient for equipment maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0027] In this embodiment, the water pump includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the nozzle 1 via a pipe, and the outlet is connected to a multi-way solenoid valve (the multi-way solenoid valve is a known technology product and is not shown in the figure). The multi-way solenoid valve is connected to the controller via a wire or a wireless communication module.

[0028] With the above structure, the controller can control the multi-way solenoid valve to open different channels, so that the high-pressure water flow mixes with the cleaning medium in different medium tanks and flows to nozzle 1. It can flexibly select the appropriate cleaning medium to mix with the high-pressure water flow according to the type of dirt inside the carriage, so as to achieve targeted cleaning, improve the cleaning effect, and meet different cleaning needs.

[0029] Working Principle: After starting the automatic car wash machine inside the car compartment, the water pump draws water from the water source through the inlet and pressurizes it, outputting a high-pressure water flow through the outlet. One end of the multi-way solenoid valve is connected to the water pump outlet, and the other end is connected through pipes to the media tank storing various special cleaning media (such as strong detergents, disinfectants, etc.) and the water pipe. Under the precise control of the controller, the corresponding channel is quickly opened according to the preset cleaning requirements, so that the high-pressure water flow and the selected cleaning media are fully mixed in the pipe and then flow to the nozzle 1. At the same time, the automatic cleaning device starts to work. Different car compartments have different heights. The lifting platform 3 receives signals through wires under the drive of the controller to complete the lifting action, precisely adjusting the telescopic arm 2 fixed on it and the end connected to the telescopic arm 2. The nozzle 1 is height-adapted to various carriages. Then, the telescopic arm 2 extends or retracts via wires or a wireless communication module according to signals from the controller, flexibly changing the position of the nozzle 1 to help it penetrate every corner of the carriage interior. The proximity sensor 6 at the movable end 5 of the telescopic arm 2 continuously and rapidly feeds back the monitored distance information between the nozzle and the carriage interior structure to the controller via wires or a wireless communication module. If the distance is too close, a signal is immediately sent to the controller, which responds instantly and adjusts the telescopic arm 2 to prevent the nozzle 1 from colliding with the carriage. After the high-pressure water flow and cleaning medium mixture reaches the rotating nozzle 1, the strong pressure causes the nozzle 1 to rotate at high speed, spraying the mixture into the carriage interior in multiple directions and with full coverage. When the cleaning process is complete, the controller, according to a preset program, directs the lifting platform 3 to slowly return to its initial position, the telescopic arm 2 to retract and reset simultaneously, the water pump stops working, and the multi-way solenoid valve closes, stopping the supply of high-pressure water flow and cleaning medium mixture to the nozzle 1. The entire automatic cleaning device returns to its original position, awaiting the next operating instruction.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
