[0002] As a highly automated cleaning equipment, gantry car wash machines are widely used in the external cleaning of various vehicles. The side brushes are key components in the cleaning process, and they achieve lifting and rotation through a chain drive system. The chains are prone to wear or corrosion under high-frequency operation and humid environments. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of equipment operation and extend its service life, it is necessary to equip the side brush chains with appropriate lubrication devices to lubricate them regularly or continuously, thereby reducing frictional resistance and improving transmission efficiency and operational reliability.
[0003] In existing technologies, when adding lubricating oil manually, it is difficult to accurately control the amount of oil. This can easily lead to insufficient lubrication, which can cause increased chain wear, or excessive lubricating oil, which can result in waste and pollution of the car wash environment. At the same time, it is impossible to achieve automatic replenishment of lubricating oil. Manual inspection of the oil tank and addition of lubricating oil are required, which increases the manpower and time costs of maintenance and affects the working efficiency of the car wash machine. Utility Model Content

One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the oil tank, and the other end is fixedly connected to the squeezing cylinder. The first one-way valve is installed on the connecting pipe.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the side brush chain lubrication device for the gantry car wash machine of this utility model, the gantry car wash machine assembly includes a gantry frame, sprockets, chains and a motor. A pair of sprockets are provided and symmetrically rotated on one side of the gantry frame. The sprockets are connected by the chain for transmission.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the side brush chain lubrication device for the gantry car wash machine described in this utility model, the motor is fixedly installed on the side of the gantry frame away from the sprocket, the motor shaft of the motor passes through the gantry frame and is fixedly connected to the sprocket, and the motor shaft of the motor is rotatably connected to the gantry frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. Through the set lubrication structure, the piston is driven by the first electric push rod to reciprocate in the extrusion cylinder. Combined with the one-way conduction characteristics of the first and second one-way valves, the lubricating oil is automatically transported from the oil tank to the extrusion cylinder and then to the chain. When the piston moves up, it draws in lubricating oil and when it moves down, it squeezes out lubricating oil, forming a complete circulation path. There is no need for frequent manual addition of lubricating oil, which reduces equipment maintenance costs and the frequency of manual intervention. The collection box can recover the dripping lubricating oil.

[0023] Refer to attached figure Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 This utility model provides a side brush chain lubrication device for a gantry car wash machine, including a gantry car wash machine assembly 1, a lubrication structure 2, and a brushing structure 3. The lubrication structure 2 and the brushing structure 3 are respectively installed on the gantry car wash machine assembly 1. The gantry car wash machine assembly 1 includes a gantry frame 11, sprockets 12, a chain 13, and a motor 14. A pair of sprockets 12 are provided and symmetrically rotated on one side of the gantry frame 11. The sprockets 12 are connected by transmission through the chain 13. The motor 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the gantry frame 11 away from the sprockets 12. The motor shaft of the motor 14 passes through the gantry frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the sprockets 12. The motor shaft of the motor 14 is rotatably connected to the gantry frame 11. Other car wash components are not shown.
[0024] The lubrication structure 2 includes a fixed frame 201, an extrusion cylinder 204, an oil tank 205, a connecting pipe 207, and a collection box 211. The fixed frame 201 is fixedly installed on the top of the gantry frame 11. A first electric push rod 202 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 201. A connecting plate 203 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 202. The extrusion cylinder 204 is fixedly installed on the fixed frame 201. A piston 210 is slidably installed inside the extrusion cylinder 204. A sliding rod 209 is fixedly installed on the piston 210. The sliding rod 209 extends through the top of the extrusion cylinder 204 to the outside of the extrusion cylinder 204, and the sliding rod 209 is slidably connected to the top wall of the extrusion cylinder 204. The top of the sliding rod 209 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 203. A second check valve 212 is installed at the bottom of the extrusion cylinder 204, which allows lubricating oil to flow out only. The oil tank 205 is installed at the top of the gantry frame 11, and an injection port 206 is provided on the oil tank 205. Lubricating oil is added to the oil tank 205 through the injection port 206. One end of the connecting pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the oil tank 205, and the other end is fixedly connected to the extrusion cylinder 204. A first check valve 208 is installed on the connecting pipe 207, which allows lubricating oil in the oil tank 205 to flow into the extrusion cylinder 204 only through the first check valve 208. The collection box 211 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the gantry frame 11. The collection box 211 is located between the chains 13 and below the extrusion cylinder 204.

By setting the collection box 211, the lubricating oil dripping from the extrusion cylinder 204 is collected. When the lubricating oil in the extrusion cylinder 204 decreases, the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 202 is controlled to extend, thereby driving the piston 210 to slide upward, thereby sucking the lubricating oil in the oil tank 205 into the extrusion cylinder 204 through the connecting pipe 207. During extrusion, the lubricating oil flows out from the second one-way valve 212, realizing automatic replenishment of lubricating oil.
