Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel washing machine technology, specifically to an automatic lifting mechanism for a splash-proof water curtain in a wheel washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A wheel washing machine, also known as a car wash platform wheel washing machine, is a mechanical device that uses high-pressure water from multiple directions to wash the tires and chassis, thereby achieving the effect of thoroughly cleaning the wheels and chassis. There are two main types: flatbed wheel washing machines and drum wheel washing machines. Drum wheel washing machines allow the tires to roll on them, resulting in a better cleaning effect than flatbed ones.
[0003] When washing car tires, the protective plates on the outside of the wheel washing machine often lack water-blocking capabilities or are too low to prevent water splashing. This results in high-pressure water spraying from bottom to top onto the outside of the machine, hindering water recycling, wasting water, and impacting the surrounding environment. Therefore, we propose an automatic lifting mechanism for the water curtain in a wheel washing machine to prevent splashing. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic lifting mechanism for a splash-proof water curtain in a wheel washing machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic lifting mechanism for a splash-proof water curtain of a wheel washing machine, comprising: a base, a wheel washing machine drum disposed above the base; fixed water curtains are fixedly disposed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base, a lifting water curtain is disposed on the inner side of the fixed water curtain, a guide module is disposed between the fixed water curtain and the lifting water curtain, the lifting water curtain slides on the fixed water curtain via the guide module, and columns are fixedly disposed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base, a lifting mechanism is installed on one side of the top of the columns, the lifting mechanism being used for at least the up-and-down lifting movement of the lifting water curtain.
[0006] Preferably, photoelectric switches are provided on both inner walls of the base, and the photoelectric switches are used at least for opening and closing the lifting mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, driving markings are provided on both sides of the wheel washing machine drum to guide the vehicle's driving direction above the base.
[0008] Preferably, water flow channels are provided on both sides of the fixed water curtain, and the height of the fixed water curtain is at least one meter.
[0009] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a support fixed on the outer wall of one side of the column, and a bearing seat is provided on the top of the support. A winding roller is connected above the support through the bearing seat and a drive shaft. A servo motor is provided at one end of the winding roller. A steel wire rope is wound around the outside of the winding roller. Fixed pulley one and fixed pulley two are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the column, and the steel wire rope is wound on fixed pulley one and fixed pulley two.
[0010] Preferably, a hanging ear is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the lifting water curtain, and the end of the wire rope away from the winding roller is fixed to the hanging ear.
[0011] Preferably, the guide module includes a sliding groove disposed on the outer wall of the fixed water curtain and a guide rail disposed on the outer wall of one side of the lifting water curtain, the guide rail being inserted into the inside of the sliding groove.
[0012] This utility model provides an automatic lifting mechanism for a splash-proof water curtain in a wheel washing machine, which has the following features:
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. A lifting water curtain structure was added to the fixed water curtain to make up for the insufficient height of the fixed water curtain. The combination of the fixed water curtain and the lifting water curtain can block the water flow when washing car wheels, which facilitates the subsequent collection of water resources and prevents water from spraying to the outside of the wheel washing machine.
[0015] 2. The lifting mechanism can move on the column and drive the lifting water curtain to rise. The photoelectric switch detects the vehicles on the wheel washing machine. When there is a vehicle on the wheel washing machine, the lifting mechanism will automatically open and drive the lifting water curtain to rise, which is more practical.
[0016] 3. The guide module used ensures the stability of the lifting water curtain's movement along the fixed water curtain. After the lifting mechanism is released, the lifting water curtain can descend to its initial position along the fixed water curtain under its own weight. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic lifting mechanism for a splash-proof water curtain of a wheel washing machine, comprising: a base 1, a wheel washing machine drum 2 disposed above the base 1; fixed water curtains 3 are fixedly disposed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base 1, a lifting water curtain 4 is disposed on the inner side of the fixed water curtain 3, a guide module 7 is disposed between the fixed water curtain 3 and the lifting water curtain 4, the lifting water curtain 4 slides on the fixed water curtain 3 through the guide module 7, and columns 5 are fixedly disposed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base 1, a lifting mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the top of the column 5, the lifting mechanism 6 is used for at least the up and down lifting movement of the lifting water curtain 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, the system includes: a base 1, with photoelectric switches 11 installed on both inner walls of the base 1. The photoelectric switches 11 are used to open and close the lifting mechanism 6. The photoelectric switches 11 detect vehicles on the wheel washing machine. When a vehicle is on the wheel washing machine, the lifting mechanism 6 automatically opens, causing the lifting water curtain 4 to rise, thus blocking the water flow. A wheel washing machine drum 2 is installed above the base 1. Driving markings 21 are installed on both sides of the wheel washing machine drum 2 to guide the vehicle's direction of travel above the base 1. The vehicle moves along the driving markings 21, preventing damage to the water curtain.
[0026] In this embodiment, fixed water-blocking curtains 3 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base 1. Water flow channels are provided on both sides of the fixed water-blocking curtains 3. The height of the fixed water-blocking curtains 3 is at least one meter. A one-meter-high fixed water-blocking curtain 3 can effectively block water when washing wheels of vehicles with lower heights. A lifting water-blocking curtain 4 is provided inside the fixed water-blocking curtains 3. Since the fixed water-blocking curtains 3 are generally low in height, the addition of the lifting water-blocking curtain 4 to the fixed water-blocking curtains 3 achieves a better water-blocking effect on both sides of the wheel washing machine.
[0027] In this embodiment, a guide module 7 is provided between the fixed water curtain 3 and the lifting water curtain 4. The lifting water curtain 4 slides on the fixed water curtain 3 through the guide module 7. The guide module 7 includes a groove 71 provided on the outer wall of the fixed water curtain 3 and a guide rail 72 provided on one side of the outer wall of the lifting water curtain 4. The guide rail 72 is inserted into the groove 71. When the lifting water curtain 4 is raised, the guide rail 72 on one side of the lifting water curtain 4 slides inside the groove 71 on the fixed water curtain 3. By utilizing the cooperation of the groove 71 and the guide rail 72, the lifting water curtain 4 can achieve stable lifting and lowering movement along the fixed water curtain 3.
[0028] In this embodiment, columns 5 are fixedly installed on the outer walls of both sides of the top of the base 1. The height of the columns 5 is greater than the sum of the heights of the fixed water curtain 3 and the lifting water curtain 4. A lifting mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the top of the columns 5. The lifting mechanism 6 is used for the up and down lifting movement of the lifting water curtain 4. The lifting mechanism 6 includes a support 61 fixed to the outer wall of one side of the column 5. The support 61 has a triangular structure and is welded from triangular steel plates. A bearing seat 62 is provided on the top of the support 61. A winding roller 63 is connected to the upper part of the support 61 through the bearing seat 62 and the drive shaft. A servo motor 64 is provided at one end of the winding roller 63. The servo motor 64 drives the winding roller 63 to rotate on the bearing seat 62, thereby winding the wire rope 68. The wire rope 68 is wound around the outside of the winding roller 63. Fixed pulley 1 66 and fixed pulley 2 67 are respectively provided on the top two sides of the column 5. The wire rope 68 is wound on the fixed pulley 1 66 and fixed pulley 2 67. The fixed pulley 1 66 and fixed pulley 2 67 guide and change the direction of the wire rope 68, ensuring the stability of the movement of the wire rope 68. A hanging ear 65 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the lifting water curtain 4. The end of the steel wire rope 68 away from the winding roller 63 is fixed to the hanging ear 65. The hanging ear 65 is used to achieve a fixed connection between the steel wire rope 68 and the lifting water curtain 4. The winding roller 63 drives the steel wire rope 68 to wind up, so that the steel wire rope 68 drives the lifting water curtain 4 to rise. After the vehicle wheel washing is completed, the winding roller 63 rotates in the opposite direction to release the steel wire rope 68. Under the action of gravity, the lifting water curtain 4 falls back to the initial position.
