Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic car wash machine technology, specifically a fully automatic car wash machine device based on multi-angle spray adjustment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous growth of car ownership, automatic car wash machines, as an efficient and convenient vehicle cleaning device, have been widely used in various car wash locations. Existing automatic car wash machines typically clean vehicles through a spray system; however, their spray angles and ranges are mostly fixed or only allow for limited adjustment, making it difficult to adapt to the different shapes and sizes of various car models. This limitation leads to blind spots or uneven coverage during the cleaning process, affecting cleaning effectiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, traditional car wash machine spray systems often lack flexible dynamic adjustment capabilities, unable to adjust the spray direction and angle in real time according to the specific position and posture of the vehicle, further limiting their applicability and cleaning performance. At the same time, existing equipment has a relatively simple structural design, with insufficient coordination between mechanical transmission and control systems, making it difficult for the spray device's movement trajectory to meet the cleaning needs of vehicles with complex curved surfaces. Therefore, developing a fully automatic car wash machine capable of multi-angle dynamic adjustment to improve cleaning coverage and adaptability has become an urgent technical challenge. This utility model aims to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies through innovative structural design and precise control mechanisms, providing a more efficient and intelligent solution for the automatic car wash field. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of incomplete cleaning coverage, inflexible spray angle adjustment, and complex transmission systems in existing technologies. To address these issues, it provides a fully automatic car wash machine device based on multi-angle spray adjustment. This device achieves efficient and precise multi-angle spray cleaning by optimizing the structural design and transmission mechanism, while simplifying the complexity of the transmission system.

[0004] This utility model provides a fully automatic car wash machine device based on multi-angle spray adjustment, including a base, frame, side mounting bracket, top mounting bracket, side spray pipe, upper spray pipe, and transmission mechanism. Wherein:

[0005] The base serves as the fundamental support for the device. A frame is fixed to its top with nuts and bolts. Side mounting brackets are fixed to both sides of the frame with screws, and a top mounting bracket is fixed to the top of the frame with screws. Arrayed side and top spray pipes are rotatably mounted on the side and top mounting brackets via a first and a second universal ball joint, respectively, thereby enabling multi-angle spray adjustment.

[0006] Furthermore, side nozzles and top nozzles are fixedly mounted on the ends of the side spray pipe and the top spray pipe, respectively, for spraying cleaning fluid to ensure complete coverage of the vehicle surface. The angle adjustment of the side spray pipe and the top spray pipe is achieved through independent adjustment mechanisms, as follows:

[0007] Each of the several side nozzle housings has a first side plate fixed to one side. A first sliding groove is formed on the first side plate, and a first sliding block is slidably connected within the first sliding groove. A first follower block is movably hinged to the first sliding block. A first connecting plate is fixed to one side of the first follower block by screws. The ends of several first connecting plates are jointly fixed to an inverted U-shaped connecting frame. The angle of the side nozzles is adjusted in conjunction with the movement of the connecting frame.

[0008] Specifically, a second side plate is fixed to one side of each of the upper nozzle housings. A second sliding groove is formed on the second side plate, and a second sliding block is slidably connected within the second sliding groove. A second follower block is movably hinged to the second sliding block. A support plate is fixed to the top of the second follower block by screws, and a push rod is fixedly connected to the top of several support plates. A middle rod and a moving plate are respectively connected to the end of the push rod by screws, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the upper nozzle.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a guide plate, a guide block, a support base, a motor, a main shaft, a face cam, a disc, and a connecting rod. A guide plate is fixed to the top of the frame with countersunk screws. A guide groove is formed on the guide plate, and a guide block is slidably connected within the groove. The guide block is fixedly connected to a moving plate. A support base with an integral structure is located on the side of the frame near the top. A motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the main shaft via a coupling. The main shaft is rotatably mounted on the support base via bearings. A face cam and a disc are fixedly fitted onto the outer circumference of the main shaft. A connecting rod is movably hinged to the disc, and one end of the connecting rod is movably hinged to a central rod. An annular groove is formed on the lower surface of the face cam. A second connecting plate is welded to one side of the connecting frame. A lifting rod is fixed to the end of the second connecting plate with screws. The lifting rod is slidably mounted on the support base, and a ball bearing is rotatably installed at its top, slidingly connected to the annular groove of the face cam. The motor drives the main shaft to rotate, causing the face cam and disc to move, thereby driving the nozzle to perform periodic angle adjustments.

[0010] Specifically, the design of the first and second omnidirectional balls provides the nozzle with flexible rotational freedom, enabling multi-angle adjustment within a certain range. The structural form of the first and second omnidirectional balls ensures the nozzle remains stable and free from jamming during adjustment. Furthermore, the first and second sliding grooves provide precise guidance for the movement of the sliding block, avoiding angular deviations caused by mechanical errors.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting frame and push rod serve as the core components of the side nozzle and upper nozzle adjustment mechanisms, respectively, and their movement trajectories are controlled by the face cam and disc in the transmission mechanism. The shape of the annular groove of the face cam determines the lifting and lowering motion of the connecting frame, while the disc converts the rotational motion into linear motion through a connecting rod, thereby driving the push rod to adjust the angle of the upper nozzle. This design not only simplifies the transmission path but also improves transmission efficiency, making the nozzle angle adjustment more precise and reliable.

[0012] In particular, the motor directly drives the face cam and disc via the main shaft, eliminating the complex gear or chain drive structure of traditional transmission systems, effectively reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the device. Simultaneously, the motor's operating parameters can be precisely set through the control system to adapt to the cleaning needs of different vehicle models.

[0013] Furthermore, the base, frame, and support are made of high-strength materials and secured with nuts, bolts, and countersunk screws, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. In addition, the connections between components have been optimized, resulting in high structural strength and seismic resistance for the entire device, extending its service life.

[0014] In particular, the nozzle adjustment mechanism and transmission mechanism adopt a modular design, which facilitates maintenance and replacement. For example, components such as the first side plate, the first slide groove, and the first sliding block can be disassembled and replaced as a whole module without the need for large-scale disassembly of the entire device. This design significantly reduces operating costs while improving the maintainability of the device.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] By employing the design of a first and second omnidirectional ball joint, the nozzle can achieve multi-angle adjustment, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning coverage in existing technologies. The nozzle's angle adjustment range can be flexibly adjusted according to the vehicle's shape, significantly improving the cleaning coverage rate.

[0017] Furthermore, by using a motor to drive the spindle rotation, combined with a cam and disc transmission design, the transmission system is simplified and operating efficiency is improved. This design not only reduces manufacturing costs but also enhances the reliability of the device.

[0018] In particular, thanks to its robust base, frame, and support design, the device exhibits excellent stability and seismic resistance during operation, extending its service life.

[0019] Furthermore, the application of modular design makes the maintenance and replacement of the nozzle adjustment mechanism and transmission mechanism more convenient, reducing the cost of use.

[0020] In summary, this utility model provides an efficient and reliable fully automatic car wash machine by optimizing the structural design and transmission mechanism. It solves the problems of incomplete cleaning coverage, inflexible spray angle adjustment, and complex transmission system in the prior art, and has broad application prospects.

[0029] This utility model relates to a fully automatic car wash machine device based on multi-angle spray adjustment. Its core lies in achieving efficient and precise spray nozzle angle adjustment through optimized structural design and transmission mechanism, thereby solving the problems of incomplete cleaning coverage, inflexible spray angle adjustment, and complex transmission systems in existing technologies. The following is in conjunction with the appendix... Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0030] First, the overall frame of the device consists of a base 1, a frame 2, side mounting brackets 3, and a top mounting bracket 5. The base 1, serving as the fundamental support for the entire device, is made of high-strength material and fixed to the ground or platform with nuts and bolts to ensure sufficient stability and seismic resistance during operation. The frame 2 is fixed to the top of the base 1 with nuts and bolts, and side mounting brackets 3 are fixed to its two sides with screws, while the top mounting bracket 5 is fixed to its top with screws. Arrayed side nozzles 26 and top nozzles 6 are rotatably mounted on the side mounting brackets 3 and top mounting bracket 5 via a first universal ball joint 27 and a second universal ball joint 8, respectively. These nozzles can be flexibly adjusted in angle according to the vehicle's shape to achieve comprehensive coverage cleaning of the vehicle's surface.

[0031] Side nozzles 4 and upper nozzles 6 are fixedly mounted at their ends for spraying cleaning fluid. To achieve multi-angle adjustment of the nozzles, a first side plate 71 is fixed to one side of each of the housings of several side nozzles 26. A first sliding groove 72 is provided on the first side plate 71, and a first sliding block 73 is slidably connected within the first sliding groove 72. A first follower block 74 is movably hinged to the first sliding block 73, and a first connecting plate 75 is fixed to one side of the first follower block 74 by screws. The ends of several first connecting plates 75 are fixedly connected to an inverted U-shaped connecting frame 7. The connecting frame 7 adjusts the angle of the side nozzles 26 through its movement, thereby achieving the multi-angle spraying function of the side nozzles 26. At the same time, a second side plate 22 is fixed to one side of each of the housings of several upper nozzles 6. A second sliding groove 23 is provided on the second side plate 22, and a second sliding block 25 is slidably connected within the second sliding groove 23. A second follower block 24 is movably hinged to the second sliding block 25. A support plate is fixed to the top of the second follower block 24 by screws. A push rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top of several support plates. The ends of the push rod 18 are respectively connected to an intermediate rod 17 and a moving plate 19 by screws, thereby realizing the angle adjustment function of the upper spray pipe 6.

[0032] The design of the transmission mechanism is one of the core components of this utility model. It mainly includes a guide plate 20, a guide block 21, a support base 9, a motor 12, a main shaft 13, a face cam 14, a disc 15, and a connecting rod 16. The top of the frame 2 is fixed to the guide plate 20 with countersunk screws. A guide groove is provided on the guide plate 20, and a guide block 21 is slidably connected within the guide groove. The guide block 21 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 19. A support base 9 with an integral structure is provided on one side of the frame 2 near the top. The motor 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support base 9. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the main shaft 13 via a coupling. The main shaft 13 is rotatably mounted on the support base 9 via bearings. A face cam 14 and a disc 15 are fixedly fitted onto the outer circumference of the main shaft 13. A connecting rod 16 is movably hinged to the disc 15, and one end of the connecting rod 16 is movably hinged to the intermediate rod 17. The lower surface of the face cam 14 has an annular groove. A second connecting plate 11 is welded to one side of the connecting frame 7. A lifting rod 10 is fixed to the end of the second connecting plate 11 by screws. The lifting rod 10 is slidably mounted on the support base 9, and a ball bearing is rotatably mounted on its top end. The ball bearing is slidably connected to the annular groove of the face cam 14. The main shaft 13 is driven to rotate by the motor 12, which drives the face cam 14 and the disc 15 to move, thereby driving the nozzle to perform periodic angle adjustments.

[0033] In actual operation, S1 starts the motor 12, which drives the main shaft 13 to rotate via a coupling. The rotation of the main shaft 13 causes the face cam 14 and the disc 15 to rotate synchronously. S2 The shape of the annular groove of the face cam 14 determines the lifting motion law of the connecting frame 7. When the face cam 14 rotates, the balls in its annular groove push the lifting rod 10 up and down, thereby driving the connecting frame 7 to move up and down as a whole. The movement of the connecting frame 7 is further transmitted to the side nozzle 26 through the action of the first sliding block 73 and the first follower block 74, causing the angle of the side nozzle 26 to change periodically. S3 At the same time, the rotation of the disc 15 converts the rotational motion into linear motion through the connecting rod 16. One end of the connecting rod 16 is movably hinged to the intermediate rod 17, and the intermediate rod 17 pushes the push rod 18 to move back and forth. The movement of the push rod 18 is transmitted to the upper nozzle 6 through the action of the second sliding block 25 and the second follower block 24, causing the angle of the upper nozzle 6 to change periodically as well. Through this transmission mechanism, the side spray pipe 26 and the upper spray pipe 6 can be adjusted at multiple angles within a certain range, thereby adapting to the cleaning needs of different vehicle models.

[0034] The design of the first universal ball joint 27 and the second universal ball joint 8 provides the nozzle with flexible rotational freedom, ensuring stability and preventing jamming during adjustment. The first slide groove 72 and the second slide groove 23 provide precise guidance for the movement of the sliding block, avoiding angular deviations caused by mechanical errors. Furthermore, the connecting frame 7 and the push rod 18, as the core components of the adjustment mechanisms for the side nozzle 26 and the upper nozzle 6 respectively, have their movement trajectories controlled by the face cam 14 and the disc 15 in the transmission mechanism. The annular groove shape of the face cam 14 determines the lifting and lowering motion of the connecting frame 7, while the disc 15 converts rotational motion into linear motion via the connecting rod 16, thereby driving the push rod 18 to adjust the angle of the upper nozzle 6. This design not only simplifies the transmission path but also improves transmission efficiency, making nozzle angle adjustment more precise and reliable.

[0035] The motor 12 directly drives the face cam 14 and the disc 15 via the main shaft 13, eliminating the complex gear or chain drive structure of traditional transmission systems and effectively reducing the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the device. Simultaneously, the operating parameters of the motor 12 can be precisely set through the control system to adapt to the cleaning needs of different vehicle models. For example, for large trucks or small cars, the angle range and cleaning frequency of the nozzle can be changed by adjusting the speed and operating time of the motor 12, thereby meeting the cleaning requirements of different vehicle models.

[0036] The base 1, frame 2, and support 9 are constructed from high-strength materials and secured with nuts, bolts, and countersunk screws, ensuring the stability of the device during operation. Furthermore, the optimized connections between components result in high structural strength and seismic resistance, extending the equipment's service life. The nozzle adjustment and transmission mechanisms employ a modular design for easy maintenance and replacement. For example, components such as the first side plate 71, the first slide groove 72, and the first sliding block 73 can be disassembled and replaced as a single module without requiring extensive disassembly of the entire device. This design significantly reduces operating costs while improving maintainability.

[0037] In practical applications, this fully automatic car wash machine is suitable for various types of vehicle washing scenarios, including parking lots, gas stations, and auto repair shops. Through the design of the first universal ball joint 27 and the second universal ball joint 8, the nozzle can flexibly adjust its angle according to the vehicle's shape, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning coverage in existing technologies. The nozzle angle adjustment range can be flexibly adjusted according to the vehicle's shape, significantly improving the cleaning coverage rate. The transmission system is simplified and operational efficiency is improved by using a motor 12 to drive the main shaft 13 to rotate, combined with the transmission design of the face cam 14 and the disc 15. This design not only reduces manufacturing costs but also improves the reliability of the device. Through the robust base 1, frame 2, and support base 9 design, the device exhibits excellent stability and shock resistance during operation, extending the equipment's service life. Furthermore, the modular design makes the maintenance and replacement of the nozzle adjustment mechanism and transmission mechanism more convenient, reducing operating costs.

[0038] In summary, this utility model provides an efficient and reliable fully automatic car wash machine by optimizing the structural design and transmission mechanism. It solves the problems of incomplete cleaning coverage, inflexible spray angle adjustment, and complex transmission system in the prior art, and has broad application prospects.
