Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car wash agent injection technology, and in particular to a car wash agent injection device for a car wash robotic arm. Background Technology
[0002] A car wash robotic arm is a fully automated intelligent car wash device that automates vehicle washing through high-precision sensors, a robotic arm system, and intelligent control technology. It is typically integrated into automatic car wash machines to replace traditional manual car washing, providing an efficient and convenient service. The robotic arm has a built-in storage cavity that needs to be filled with car wash detergent solution, which is then sprayed onto the vehicle surface by the robotic arm and its nozzles for cleaning.
[0003] In existing technology, when adding car wash detergent to the internal storage cavity of a car wash robotic arm, it is necessary to first add the car wash detergent concentrate and water to the same container, then stir and mix them evenly. Next, the car wash detergent storage cavity of the robotic arm is located, the cavity lid is opened, and a funnel is placed at the cavity entrance, ensuring the funnel is stable. Finally, the car wash detergent solution is manually lifted and poured into the funnel, thus injecting the car wash detergent solution into the storage cavity of the robotic arm. This process requires manual stirring and mixing of the car wash detergent concentrate and water, as well as manual lifting and pouring of the car wash detergent solution. This makes the entire car wash detergent injection process for the robotic arm time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a car wash detergent injection device for a car wash robotic arm to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model discloses a car wash agent injection device for a car wash robotic arm. It includes a mixing tank and an injection mechanism, allowing concentrated car wash agent and water to be added to the mixing tank in a specific ratio via a feed hopper during operation. The drive motor is then activated, activating the agitator to mix the concentrated car wash agent and water, ensuring uniform mixing. After mixing, the device is moved to the vicinity of the car wash robotic arm using multiple casters, which are then locked. The operator can then open the storage cavity cover of the robotic arm, pick up the injection gun, insert it into the storage cavity opening, and activate the pump. The injection gun then injects the car wash agent solution from the mixing tank into the storage cavity of the robotic arm, eliminating the need for manual emptying. Therefore, this significantly improves work efficiency and reduces the workload of the operator, thus solving the problems described in the background technology.
