[0002] With increasing environmental awareness and urban development, the requirements for the cleanliness of various engineering vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent. Traditional car wash troughs have many problems, such as poor cleaning effect, inability to thoroughly remove mud and grime from vehicle chassis, tires, and other parts; serious waste of washing water, with water resources not being fully recycled; unreasonable structural design, difficult installation and maintenance, and short service life. These problems not only affect the efficiency and quality of car washing but also increase operating costs and environmental burden. Therefore, developing a new type of high-efficiency car wash trough is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a new type of automatic mud removal, collection and water circulation car wash trough, so as to solve the problems of poor cleaning effect, water waste and unreasonable structure of existing car wash troughs, to achieve efficient and comprehensive cleaning of vehicles, while improving water resource utilization, reducing usage costs and facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a novel automatic mud removal, collection and water circulation car wash tank, including a tire mud removal system, a car body washing system and a water circulation system;

[0005] The tire mud removal system includes retaining walls on both sides, and a reinforced concrete base plate for a car wash trough is provided between the retaining walls. The reinforced concrete base plate for the car wash trough has a slope near both ends. The reinforced concrete base plate for the car wash trough has two rows of reserved grooves for a mud removal truss support system. A mud removal truss support system is placed in each of the reserved grooves for the mud removal truss support system. A mud collection and settling groove for the car wash trough is provided in the middle of the reinforced concrete base plate for the car wash trough. The mud collection and settling groove for the car wash trough is lower than the reserved groove for the mud removal truss support system.

[0006] The vehicle body washing system is located at the front end of the tire mud removal system;

[0007] The water circulation system includes a primary sedimentation guide channel, a tertiary sedimentation tank, and a car wash tank storage tank. The primary sedimentation guide channel is located on one side of the car body washing system and is connected to the bottom of the car body washing system. The tertiary sedimentation tank and the car wash tank storage tank are located on one side of the retaining wall. The primary sedimentation guide channel is connected to the tertiary sedimentation tank, and the car wash tank storage tank is connected to the car wash tank mud settling groove and the tertiary sedimentation tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the retaining wall is a shale porous brick retaining wall, and plastering is applied to it.

[0009] Furthermore, the grooves in the desliming truss support system are designed according to the tire spacing and tire width of the eight-wheel dump trucks used in construction.

[0010] Furthermore, the desliming truss support system is mainly composed of three equidistant I-beams and equidistant hot-rolled threaded steel bars welded together. The equidistant hot-rolled threaded steel bars cover the surface of the three equidistant I-beams, and the spacing between the hot-rolled threaded steel bars is 80mm and the length is 1m.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the vehicle body washing system is provided with a water guiding and settling trough, which is connected to the primary settling water guiding trough.

[0012] Furthermore, a water interception and return channel is provided, which is located between the vehicle body washing system and the mud removal truss support system.

[0013] Furthermore, the vehicle body washing system employs two rows of adaptive gravity-sensing automatic car wash devices. High-pressure nozzles are evenly distributed at the bottom of each automatic car wash device, enabling high-pressure washing of the vehicle chassis from different directions. High-pressure nozzles are also installed on the side walls of the automatic car wash devices, allowing for all-around rotating washing of the vehicle tires and underbody. This gravity-sensing automatic car wash device washes the vehicle body from top to bottom as soon as the front wheels enter, ensuring effective cleaning of all parts of the vehicle.

[0014] Furthermore, the three-stage sedimentation tank includes a first-stage sedimentation tank, a second-stage sedimentation tank, and a third-stage sedimentation tank. The first-stage sedimentation tank is connected to the second-stage sedimentation tank, and the second-stage sedimentation tank is connected to the third-stage sedimentation tank. The second-stage sedimentation tank is equipped with multiple layers of filter media, such as filter screens and activated carbon, and is also called a filter tank. The water obtained in the third-stage sedimentation tank is clear water, also called a clear water tank. Wastewater generated by the automatic car wash device from washing vehicles undergoes preliminary sedimentation in the primary settling channel before flowing into the first-stage sedimentation tank. In the first-stage sedimentation tank, large particles of impurities settle to the bottom. The wastewater after the first-stage sedimentation flows into the second-stage sedimentation tank for filtration, further removing fine particles and impurities for secondary sedimentation. The water after the secondary sedimentation flows into the third-stage sedimentation tank for tertiary sedimentation to obtain clear water. The clear water in the third-stage sedimentation tank is pumped to the vehicle washing system and the car wash tank storage tank, realizing the recycling of water resources. Excess water in the car wash tank storage tank can flow into the third-stage sedimentation tank through a 300mm corrugated pipe at a set elevation to ensure the water level balance in the car wash tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By driving into the central water pool of the car wash tank, the gravity and impact force can effectively wash away a large amount of mud on the car body. Through the mud removal truss support system, the residual mud on the tires can be effectively removed and collected. The cleaning and mud removal effect is significantly better than that of traditional car wash tanks. The mud removal and cleaning effect is significantly improved: Through the high-pressure nozzle of the gravity-sensing automatic car wash device, the chassis, tires, body and other parts of the vehicle can be washed in all directions and from multiple angles under high pressure, further effectively removing residual mud, dirt and other impurities from the vehicle surface.

[0017] (2) Full recycling of water resources: The water recycling system enables the washing water to be settled, filtered and recycled, which greatly reduces the waste of water resources, increases the reuse rate of sewage, reduces the cost of car washing, meets environmental protection requirements, and is conducive to safe and civilized construction at the construction site.

[0018] (3) Reasonable structure: easy to install and maintain. The mud removal truss support system is a segmented whole, which is very convenient for hoisting, disassembly and transportation. It can also be recycled and can be used as a standardized car wash trough technology module. The components of the car body cleaning system and water circulation system are reasonably laid out, which is convenient for installation, disassembly, maintenance and mud cleaning. The operation is simple and highly automated, which reduces the tediousness and labor intensity of manual operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, and not all of the embodiments. Based on this embodiment, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 10 This embodiment provides a novel automatic mud removal, collection, and water circulation car wash tank, including a tire mud removal system, a car body washing system, and a water circulation system;

[0033] The tire mud removal system includes retaining walls 3 on both sides, and a car wash trough reinforced concrete base 5 is provided between the retaining walls 3. The car wash trough reinforced concrete base 5 has a slope near both ends. The car wash trough reinforced concrete base 5 has two rows of reserved grooves 13 for the mud removal truss support system. Each of the reserved grooves 13 for the mud removal truss support system is equipped with a mud removal truss support system 8. The middle part of the car wash trough reinforced concrete base 5 has a car wash trough mud storage and settling groove 7. The car wash trough mud storage and settling groove 7 is lower than the reserved grooves 13 for the mud removal truss support system.

[0034] The vehicle body washing system is located at the front end of the tire mud removal system;

[0035] The water circulation system includes a primary sedimentation guide trough 1, a tertiary sedimentation tank 2, and a car wash tank storage tank 4. The primary sedimentation guide trough 1 is located on one side of the car body washing system and is connected to the bottom of the car body washing system. The tertiary sedimentation tank 2 and the car wash tank storage tank 4 are located on one side of the retaining wall 3. The primary sedimentation guide trough 1 is connected to the tertiary sedimentation tank 2, and the car wash tank storage tank 4 is connected to the car wash tank mud accumulation and sedimentation groove 7 and the tertiary sedimentation tank 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the retaining wall 3 is a shale porous brick retaining wall, and plastering is applied to it.

[0037] In this embodiment, the pre-reserved groove 13 of the sludge removal truss support system is set according to the tire spacing and tire width of the eight-wheel dump truck commonly used in construction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the mud removal truss support system 8 is mainly composed of three equidistant 14# I-beams 6 and equidistant Φ28 hot-rolled threaded steel bars 12 welded together. The equidistant Φ28 hot-rolled threaded steel bars cover the surface of the three equidistant 14# I-beams 6, with a spacing of 80mm and a length of 1m. This support system not only provides better anti-slip function when vehicles enter the bottom pool of the car wash tank, but also utilizes the weight of the eight-wheeled dump truck itself to remove residual mud and debris from the tires through compression and deformation. The central part of the car wash tank contains water up to the level of the vehicle's tires. The moment the eight-wheel dump truck enters the center of the car wash tank, the huge gravitational inertia comes into contact with the water surface, generating a powerful impact and water flow fluctuation. This water flow fluctuation and impact force washes the mud off the vehicle. Due to the influence of gravity, the tires are squeezed into the gaps when passing through the spaced threaded steel bars, removing the residual mud and debris from the tires. The detached mud and debris fall into the pre-set grooves of the pre-set mud removal truss support system. The entire tank is rectangular in shape, and the bottom of the tank has a certain slope to facilitate the flow of sewage to the mud storage and settling grooves of the car wash tank. In the middle of the car wash water tank, there is a long, narrow mud settling groove. The bottom of the groove has a certain slope, which serves two purposes: first, it can settle the mud and residue in the water that was originally stored in the car wash tank; second, it can use the water flow generated when the vehicle enters the water, and the inertia and impact force of the water flow can be used to flush the mud and residue from the tires collected in the groove reserved in the mud removal truss support system into the mud settling groove in the center for uniform settling.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bottom of the vehicle body washing system is provided with a water guiding and settling trough, which is connected to the primary settling water guiding trough 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, a water interception and return channel 9 is also provided, which is located between the vehicle body washing system and the mud removal truss support system 8.

[0041] In this embodiment, the vehicle body washing system employs two rows of adaptive gravity-sensing automatic car wash devices 10. Multiple high-pressure nozzles are evenly distributed at the bottom of each automatic car wash device 10, enabling high-pressure washing of the vehicle chassis from different directions. Several sets of high-pressure nozzles are installed on the side walls of each automatic car wash device, allowing for all-around rotating washing of the vehicle tires and lower body. This automatic car wash device is gravity-sensing, allowing for top-to-bottom washing of the vehicle body from the moment the front wheels enter, ensuring effective cleaning of all parts of the vehicle.

[0042] In this embodiment, the three-stage sedimentation tank 2 includes a first-stage sedimentation tank 2-1, a second-stage sedimentation tank 2-2, and a third-stage sedimentation tank 2-3. The first-stage sedimentation tank 2-1 is connected to the second-stage sedimentation tank 2-2, and the second-stage sedimentation tank 2-2 is connected to the third-stage sedimentation tank 2-3. The second-stage sedimentation tank 2-2 is equipped with multiple layers of filter media, such as filter screens and activated carbon, and is also called a filtration tank. The water obtained in the third-stage sedimentation tank 2-3 is clear water, and is also called a clear water tank. Wastewater generated by the automatic car wash device from washing vehicles undergoes preliminary sedimentation in the primary settling channel before flowing into the first-stage sedimentation tank 2-1. In the first-stage sedimentation tank 2-1, large particles of impurities settle to the bottom. The wastewater after the first-stage sedimentation then flows into the second-stage sedimentation tank 2-2 for filtration, further removing fine particles and impurities for secondary sedimentation. After secondary sedimentation, the water flows into the third sedimentation tank 2-3 for tertiary sedimentation to obtain clean water. The clean water in the third sedimentation tank 2-3 is then pumped to the vehicle body washing system and the car wash tank water storage tank to achieve water resource recycling. Excess water in the car wash tank water storage tank can flow into the third sedimentation tank through the 300mm corrugated pipe 11 with a set elevation to ensure the water level balance in the car wash tank.

[0043] Detailed implementation of this embodiment:

[0044] Car wash trough installation and construction: First, determine the installation location of the car wash trough based on site conditions and vehicle traffic requirements. Excavate a foundation pit of suitable size at the installation location, construct retaining walls for the entire car wash trough, arrange the upper and lower layers of reinforcing steel bars for the base slab and the surface reinforcement, and leave the required grooves for installing the mud removal truss support system, the car wash trough mud storage and settling tank, the intercepting and returning water diversion tank, the primary settling water guide tank, and the water guide settling tank required for installing the automatic car wash device. Pour the integral concrete, install the vehicle body washing system and water circulation system equipment, including high-pressure nozzles, water pumps, a three-stage sedimentation tank, and the car wash trough water storage tank, etc., and connect the pipes and lines between the various devices according to design requirements. Finally, install the gravity sensor, placing it in a suitable location, and connect the control lines between the control system and each device.

[0045] Car Wash Process: The vehicle enters the wash tank and moves back and forth several times in the center. The impact and inertia of the water flow initially wash away the mud. Because it travels on a mud-removal truss support system, the tires are thoroughly cleaned. After the initial rinse, the vehicle enters the adaptive gravity-sensing automatic car wash unit at the end. Sensors detect the vehicle signal and transmit it to the automatic control system. The automatic control system starts the water pump, delivering clean water from the clean water tank to the high-pressure nozzles. The high-pressure nozzles operate according to a preset program, providing a comprehensive high-pressure wash to the vehicle. During the washing process, wastewater flows through the primary sedimentation channel into the tertiary sedimentation tank. After sedimentation and filtration, the clean water returns to the clean water tank. Excess water in the storage tank flows into the tertiary sedimentation tank through a connected 300mm corrugated pipe, achieving water resource recycling.

[0046] Maintenance and Upkeep: Regularly maintain the car wash trough, checking for damage or deformation, clogging or damage to the spray nozzles of the cleaning system, and whether the filter media of the water circulation system needs replacement. Promptly clean impurities from the bottom of the sedimentation tank and filter tank to ensure the normal operation of the water circulation system. Regularly inspect and maintain the automatic control system to ensure accurate and stable control.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
