Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of self-service car wash cabinets, specifically relating to a waterproof protection structure for the locks of car wash workstation cabinets. Background Technology

[0002] Self-service car washes offer a convenient way to wash cars. Operators pay by swiping a card or scanning a code at the machine, then use a water gun to spray clean water or foam. Currently, the control cabinets for self-service car washes are typically installed within the car wash area. These cabinets are equipped with door locks or control panel locks for opening and maintenance. Due to the lack of suitable waterproofing in these cabinets and the unpredictable nature of self-service car washes (personnel often spray water haphazardly), water can easily seep into the control panel or locks, causing equipment malfunctions. Some businesses currently fix transparent covers to the outside of the locks, with openings at the bottom, allowing operators to reach in and operate the equipment. However, these transparent covers are not very waterproof; when water is sprayed onto the ground, liquid can easily splash in and enter through the bottom of the cover, still allowing access to the control panel or lock. Therefore, a waterproof protection structure for the locks of car wash station cabinets is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a waterproof protection structure for the lock of a car wash workstation cabinet, which features convenient operation and good waterproof effect.
