Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of car wash machine technology, and in particular to an automatic guide rail for a gantry car wash machine. Background Technology

[0002] Based on the different moving parts, brush car wash machines can be divided into reciprocating car wash machines and tunnel car wash machines. Among them, the working method of the reciprocating car wash machine is that the car is stationary, and the car wash equipment moves back and forth according to the car model. During the reciprocating movement, it needs to use guide rails to move, thereby completing the cleaning operation of the stationary vehicle.

[0003] Most existing gantry car wash machines operate in an unattended mode, with their guide rails exposed to the external environment. Because these machines require frequent vehicle washing, the guide rails easily accumulate dirt over time. This not only affects the cleanliness of the rails but also hinders their smooth operation, ultimately negatively impacting the normal functioning of the car wash machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problem that the guide rails of the existing gantry car wash machine are exposed and unattended, and are easily contaminated with dirt during frequent car washes, resulting in a decrease in smooth operation and affecting the normal operation of the car wash machine, this utility model is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic guide rail for a gantry car wash machine, including symmetrically arranged bases, with a guide rail mechanism symmetrically arranged between the two bases;

[0006] The guide rail mechanism includes a track with a groove at the top. A lead screw is rotatably mounted in the groove, and one end of the lead screw is connected to a servo motor outside the track. Two movable slide seats are fitted around the outside of the lead screw, and the two slide seats are fixedly connected by a fixing rod. Scrapers are provided on both sides of the slide seats. A guide groove is provided at the bottom of the groove, and an installation groove is provided at the middle of the bottom of the guide groove. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the installation groove. A support frame is provided in the installation groove, and filter plates are provided symmetrically on both sides of the support frame. A collection box is fixedly connected to the outer side of the filter plates. The support frame is connected to the track through a fixing component.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a protective cover is fixedly installed inside the slide groove, and the protective cover penetrates the slide block and the scraper. The protective cover has a semi-circular cross-section, is located on the outer side above the lead screw, and is concentric with the lead screw.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, auxiliary covers are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of the two scrapers on the outer side of the slide block. The auxiliary covers are movably sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw. Slider blocks are symmetrically provided on the top of the auxiliary covers, and the cross-section of the slider blocks is T-shaped. The bottom of the protective cover is symmetrically provided with rail grooves that are adapted to the slider blocks. The auxiliary covers are adapted to the protective covers.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the guide channel gradually slopes downward from both ends to the middle.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes a mounting box, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame. A screw is rotatably installed inside the mounting box. An adjusting block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw. Connecting rods are hinged at symmetrical positions on the outer wall of the adjusting block. Insert rods are hinged to the end of the connecting rods away from the adjusting block. Slots that fit the insert rods are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the mounting groove. The upper end of the screw extends outside the support frame.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the support frame is inverted U-shaped, the mounting box has a concave cross-section, and the screw has a handle connected to one end of the outer side of the support frame.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, the base has symmetrically provided receiving grooves on both sides, and the servo motor is located in the receiving groove. The top of the base is provided with anti-slip strips, and the top of the slide is symmetrically provided with mounting holes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a servo motor to drive a lead screw, which in turn drives two sliding blocks to move synchronously. This drives a scraper to clean the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the chute. In conjunction with a guide channel, the dirt is collected in a collection box. Wastewater is filtered by a filter plate and discharged through a drain outlet. This improves the cleanliness of the guide rail and prevents it from becoming difficult to maintain smooth operation due to dirt, thus avoiding adverse effects on the normal operation of the car wash machine. It is also convenient to use.

[0015] 2. This utility model can protect the lead screw by using a protective cover, an auxiliary cover, and a slider, preventing water containing dirt from washing it and causing the dirt to adhere to the screw groove on the lead screw, affecting its transmission. The auxiliary cover also prevents the scraper from scraping the dirt, allowing some of the dirt to come into contact with the lead screw under the guidance of the scraper.

[0016] 3. This utility model uses a fixing component. By rotating the handle, the screw can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the adjusting block to move the connecting rod, thereby driving the insertion rod to move into the mounting box and out of the slot. This releases the constraint, allowing the support frame and collection box to be disassembled for processing the collected dirt or cleaning the filter plate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, an automatic guide rail for a gantry car wash machine is provided, including symmetrically arranged bases 1, and a guide rail mechanism symmetrically arranged between the two bases 1;

[0028] The guide rail mechanism includes a rail 2, with a groove 3 at the top of the rail 2. A lead screw 4 is rotatably mounted in the groove 3, and one end of the lead screw 4 is connected to a servo motor 5 outside the rail 2. Two movable slide seats 6 are fitted on the outside of the lead screw 4, and the two slide seats 6 are fixedly connected by a fixing rod 24. Scrapers 7 are provided on both sides of the slide seats 6. A guide groove 9 is opened at the bottom of the groove 3, and an installation groove 10 is opened at the middle of the bottom of the guide groove 9. A drain port 14 is opened at the bottom of the installation groove 10, and a support frame 11 is provided in the installation groove 10. The support frame 11 is symmetrically positioned on both sides. The filter plate 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the filter plate 12 with a collection box 13. The support frame 11 is connected to the track 2 through a fixing component. The servo motor 5 drives the lead screw 4 to move the two slides 6 synchronously, so that the scraper 7 scrapes the dirt on the inner wall of the slide groove 3. With the help of the guide groove 9, the dirt is collected in the collection box 13. The sewage is filtered by the filter plate 12 and discharged from the sewage outlet 14. This improves the cleanliness of the guide rail, ensures smooth operation, ensures the normal operation of the car wash machine, and is easy to use. The floor of the track 2 has a water channel reserved to facilitate the flow of the dirt discharged from the sewage outlet 14 into the sewer channel.

[0029] In this example, a protective cover 8 is fixedly installed inside the slide 3, and the protective cover 8 penetrates through the slide 6 and the scraper 7. The protective cover 8 has a semi-circular cross-section and is located on the outer side above the lead screw 4, with the protective cover 8 and the lead screw 4 having the same center. The semi-circular cross-section of the protective cover 8 can better fit the shape of the lead screw 4, enhance the protection effect on the lead screw 4, and at the same time reduce the movement interference with the slide 6 and the scraper 7, ensuring smooth operation of the components.

[0030] In this example, auxiliary covers 15 are symmetrically provided on the outer sides of the two scrapers 7 on the outer side of the slide block 6. The auxiliary covers 15 are movably sleeved on the outer side of the lead screw 4. Slider 16 is symmetrically provided on the top of the auxiliary covers 15, and the cross-section of the slider 16 is T-shaped. The bottom of the protective cover 8 is symmetrically provided with rail grooves 23 that are adapted to the slider 16. The auxiliary covers 15 and the protective cover 8 are adapted to each other. The cooperation between the auxiliary covers 15 and the protective cover 8 further enhances the protection of the lead screw 4. The adaptation of the T-shaped slider 16 and the rail groove 23 ensures the stability of the auxiliary covers 15 when it moves synchronously with the slide block 6, avoids the dirt scraped by the scrapers 7 from contacting the lead screw 4, and ensures smooth transmission of the lead screw 4.

[0031] In this example, the bottom surface of the guide channel 9 gradually slopes downward from both ends to the middle in order to guide and collect the wastewater from the cleaning process.

[0032] In this example, the fixing component includes a mounting box 17, which is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 11. A screw 18 is rotatably installed inside the mounting box 17. An adjusting block 19 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 18. A connecting rod 20 is hinged to symmetrical positions on the outer wall of the adjusting block 19. An insertion rod 21 is hinged to the end of the connecting rod 20 away from the adjusting block 19. The inner wall of the mounting groove 10 is symmetrically provided with slots 22 that are adapted to the insertion rod 21. The upper end of the screw 18 extends to the outside of the support frame 11. By rotating the screw 18, the insertion rod 21 can be driven to enter and exit the slot 22, realizing the quick installation and disassembly of the support frame 11. This facilitates timely handling of dirt in the collection box 13 and cleaning of the filter plate 12, making maintenance convenient and efficient.

[0033] In this example, the support frame 11 is inverted U-shaped, the mounting box 17 has a concave cross-section, and the screw 18 is located on the outside of the support frame 11 with a handle connected to one end. The structural design of the inverted U-shaped support frame 11 and the concave mounting box 17 is adapted to the space of the mounting slot 10, which facilitates the layout of components. The handle makes it easier to rotate the screw 18 and improves the convenience of operation.

[0034] In this example, the base 1 has symmetrically arranged receiving grooves on both sides, and the servo motor 5 is located in the receiving groove. The base 1 has anti-slip strips on the top, and the slide 6 has symmetrically arranged mounting holes on the top. The receiving grooves provide installation space for the servo motor 5 and protect the motor from external collisions. The anti-slip strips increase the surface friction of the base 1 and improve the safety of use. The mounting holes facilitate the connection of the slide 6 with related components of the car wash equipment and enhance the stability of the structural connection.

[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the equipment needs to be used, the gantry and the slide block 6 can be connected and fixed by the mounting holes and bolts. Then, the servo motor 5 can drive the lead screw 4 to drive the slide block 6, which makes it easy to move the gantry car wash machine to clean the vehicle when the vehicle is not moving.

[0036] Guide rail cleaning principle: When the car wash equipment is working, the servo motor 5 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate, causing the two slide seats 6 on the outside of the lead screw 4 to move synchronously, driving the scrapers 7 on both sides of the slide seats 6 to scrape the inner wall of the slide groove 3, scraping the dirt into the guide groove 9. The dirt flows into the collection box 13 along the guide groove 9, and the sewage is filtered by the filter plate 12 and discharged from the drain outlet 14.

[0037] The protective principle of lead screw 4: The protective cover 8 is installed above the lead screw 4 to prevent water containing dirt from directly washing the lead screw 4. At the same time, the auxiliary cover 15 on the outside of the slide 6 moves synchronously with the slide 6 and slides in the rail groove 23 through the T-shaped slider 16 at the top, further preventing the dirt scraped by the scraper 7 from contacting the lead screw 4, preventing dirt from entering the screw groove of the lead screw 4, and ensuring smooth transmission of the lead screw 4.

[0038] Component disassembly principle: When it is necessary to clean the collection box 13 or the filter plate 12, turn the handle at one end of the screw 18. The screw 18 rotates and drives the adjusting block 19 to move. The adjusting block 19 drives the insertion rod 21 to retract into the mounting box 17 through the connecting rod 20, so that the insertion rod 21 moves out of the slot 22, thereby releasing the fixation of the support frame 11. The support frame 11 and the collection box 13 can be taken out as a whole for cleaning.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
