Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of autonomous car wash equipment, specifically a shared autonomous car wash equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Shared self-service car wash equipment is an innovative service facility based on the sharing economy model and intelligent technology. It aims to provide users with a convenient and low-cost vehicle cleaning solution. Its core feature is that users can start the equipment by scanning a code with a mobile terminal (such as a mobile APP), operate the cleaning process independently, and pay according to the usage time or water consumption. The equipment usually integrates modules such as high-pressure water guns, foam spraying, and scrubbing tools. Some high-end models are also equipped with wastewater recycling systems to achieve environmental protection and water conservation. In scenic areas, two-wheeled electric vehicles (such as electric sightseeing vehicles and electric scooters rented by tourists) are the core means of short-distance transportation. However, scenic roads are often muddy or dusty, and vehicle surfaces are easily stained, affecting the tourist experience and the lifespan of the equipment. Traditional car washing methods require tourists to return to centralized car wash points or rely on manual services, which are time-consuming and costly. Shared equipment can be distributed and deployed in areas such as parking lots and transfer points to achieve "stop and wash immediately", significantly improving service efficiency.

[0003] Current shared car wash equipment focuses on automating the washing process, but lacks a systematic solution for post-wash drying. After rinsing and scrubbing, mainstream equipment typically relies on manual drying or air drying. For manual drying, some equipment provides disposable towels or reusable cleaning cloths, but these pose hygiene risks, high costs, and low efficiency. Air drying is more common in open-air scenic areas, but it is severely constrained by environmental factors: drying time of 15-20 minutes in summer and more than 40 minutes in winter causes vehicles to linger, reducing equipment turnover. Moreover, during the drying process, pollutants such as dust and pollen in the air will re-adhere to the vehicle body, forming water stains. Therefore, we propose a shared self-service car wash equipment. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This utility model provides a technical solution: a shared self-service car wash equipment, including: a self-service cleaning equipment body 1;

[0036] It also includes: a drying component 2, which is set on one side of the self-service cleaning equipment body 1. The drying component 2 is used to dry the electric vehicle after cleaning.

A windproof shell 73 is fixedly connected to the side of the fifth connecting pipe 71 away from the air duct 25. An adjustment assembly 74 is rotatably disposed inside the windproof shell 73. An adjustment rod 75 is rotatably connected to the middle of the windproof shell 73 away from the fifth connecting pipe 71. The adjustment rod 75 is fixedly connected to the adjustment assembly 74. The adjustment assembly 74 includes a connecting plate 741 fixedly connected to the adjustment rod 75. A first partition 742 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 741. A second partition 743 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 741. A third partition 744 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 741. The first partition 742, the second partition 743, and the third partition 744 are located on the same circle and form a disc structure. The first air outlet 745 is provided, the second partition 743 is provided with several second air outlets 746, and the third partition 744 is provided with several third air outlets 747. The inner diameter of the second air outlet 746 is larger than the inner diameter of the third air outlet 747, and the inner diameter of the third air outlet 747 is larger than the inner diameter of the first air outlet 745. A connecting block 76 is fixedly connected to the side of the windproof shell 73 near the adjusting rod 75. The connecting block 76 is threadedly connected to the screw 77. The adjusting rod 75 is provided with several limiting holes 751 in a circular array. The inner wall of the limiting holes 751 is provided with an internal thread that matches the external thread of the screw 77. The handle 72 is made of rubber material. Several anti-slip grooves are provided on the outer surface of the handle 72. The inner diameter of the air duct 25 on the side away from the self-service cleaning equipment body 1 is smaller than the inner diameter of the air duct 25 on the side near the self-service cleaning equipment body 1.

[0042] The limiting component 6 includes a support rod 61 fixedly connected to the self-service cleaning equipment body 1. The support rod 61 has a cavity, and a connecting rod 63 is slidably connected inside the cavity of the support rod 61. The support rod 61 has a plurality of positioning holes 62 symmetrically opened. A snap-fit ​​component 64 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 63 near the self-service cleaning equipment body 1. The snap-fit ​​component 64 is used to limit the position of the connecting rod 63 in the middle of the support rod 61. The snap-fit ​​component 64 includes a second outer shell 641 fixedly connected to the connecting rod 63. A locking block 642 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the second outer shell 641. A spring 643 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the locking block 642 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second outer shell 641. The spring 643 is disposed in the inner cavity of the second outer shell 641.

[0043] After cleaning the electric vehicle, the water stains on the electric vehicle need to be dried. The compressor 23 is controlled by the controller to run. The compressor 23 delivers the gas in the inner cavity of the first outer shell 21 to the inner cavity of the air duct 25, and then delivers it to the inner cavity of the fifth connecting pipe 71 through the air duct 25. Then, through the cooperation of the fifth connecting pipe 71 and the adjusting component 74, the gas can be delivered to the electric vehicle to dry it.

[0044] In use, the user can adjust the wind force as needed by rotating the adjusting lever 75, which in turn drives the connecting plate 741 to rotate. When the connecting plate 741 rotates, it can drive the first partition 742, the second partition 743, and the third partition 744 to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the first partition 742, the second partition 743, and the third partition 744, and thus adjusting the wind force.

[0045] When the device is used to dry the electric vehicle, the gas in the inner cavity of the first outer shell 21 is transported and a negative pressure is formed in the inner cavity of the first outer shell 21. As a result, the outside gas flows into the inner cavity of the first outer shell 21. During the flow, the gas flows through the inner cavity of several second filter holes 211 to the inner cavity of the dust collection box 24, and then flows into the inner cavity of the first outer shell 21 through several first filter holes 241. Thus, the dust in the gas can be intercepted by several first filter holes 241, preventing the dust from being transported to the electric vehicle along with the gas and causing pollution to the electric vehicle.

[0046] After the train is dried, to prevent the grip assembly 7 and air duct 25 from being placed on the ground and causing wear, the user can wrap the drying assembly 2 around the surface of the connecting rod 63 and the support rod 61. The position of the air duct 25 is then limited by the connecting rod 63. When the length of the limiting assembly 6 needs to be adjusted, the user can apply force to the locking block 642, pushing the locking block 642 from the adjacent 62 cavity into the second housing 641 cavity, thereby releasing the position limitation of the connecting rod 63 in the support rod 61 cavity, and then adjusting the position of the connecting rod 63 in the support rod 61 cavity.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] The first observation window 11 allows management personnel to easily observe the water level inside the self-service cleaning equipment body 1. Water can then be added to the body 1 via the inlet pipe 12, which connects to an external pipe. After cleaning the electric vehicle, users rinse their hands with water, and the resulting wastewater falls into the basin 31. Because the guide plate 32 is angled, the wastewater flowing onto it moves towards the first connecting pipe 33, and then flows into the second connecting pipe 41. By using the filter screen 46 to filter sewage, particulate impurities in the sewage can be intercepted. After filtration, the sewage flows into the inner cavity of the fourth connecting pipe 52 through the third connecting pipe 43, and then into the inner cavity of the connecting frame 51 through the fourth connecting pipe 52. Thus, the sewage can be collected by the water storage tank 53, and then treated for reuse, thereby improving the efficiency of water resource utilization. With the cooperation of the scale 511 and the second observation window 512, it is convenient for managers to observe the water level in the inner cavity of the water storage tank 53, and then the managers can treat the sewage collected in the inner cavity of the water storage tank 53 as needed.
